We have a huge problem nearby in Philly, Pa with the way children are not protected and caseworkers routinely forge paperwork to cover up non-enforcement.
Well, last year another child starved too death in much the same scenario as the very sad story that opens this thread. Last week a Grand Jury indicted eight individuals, including Ma and Pa AND a close friend who watched this little girl starve to death.
No doubt the defense will be a pre-occupation with 'cracking up' that distracted the three from their duty to care for a child. Knowing the Philly court system they will all be sentenced to rehab and given more welfare money.
The child services dropped the ball on so many levels and so many officials knew about this case and ignored it. When the kid died they all forged paperwork and or lied about their knowledge of the case.
With a eighteen open files you'd think the caseworker could maybe do her job?
Screw giving the government more money to fix a culture of iresponsibility. Lets put a few of them in jail to hammer home the point that you don't let kids starve to death under your care.
The city of Philadelphia is a case study of how badly government can fail when a population loses the will (and need) to provide for itself. Its a scandal a week down here. BTW, this has been a Democrat governed disaster for at least fifty years.
No Republicans down here to blame.
