It’s people like this “mother” and her boyfriend make me want to bring back public hangings. And it’s an absolute atrocity how they failed to protect that little girl. She came to daycare regularly with bruises and significant bleeding and verbally told them that her mother did it and told her to lie about it. That wasn’t enough get her taken away? Absolutely appalling.

And then I hear stories of families getting on Child Service’s list for having a messy house or not having a full fridge the day before payday. By my experience (not quite far enough away to be considered ‘second hand’) if you know how to play the system you can get away with anything but if you are good parent that tries to keep away from the system, you get ran over.

Exactly. Homeschoolers get brought up on truancy charges but a four-year-old fucking saying “I’m bleeding from my ears and conspicuously bruised because my mother literally hits me every day” apparently isn’t enough. The girl even knew enough to say that mother told her to lie about her injuries and gave them the specific lie that the mother ended up giving them later. Somebody probably dropped the ball on this because they didn’t feel like doing some extra paperwork. As far as I’m concerned they’re accessories to murder.

System failed to protect four-year-old despite multiple reports and evidence of abuse by mother, boyfriend
