Thread Name: BS: Child neglect and the law
Subject: RE: BS: Child neglect and the law
There is evidence of "neglect" and presumably a "strong suspicion" of harm - I think we have agreed at least that it's possible to make mistakes in such circumstances which are the bread and butter of the Child Protection Courts.

If the courts wait for a child to be killed they can be sure of "guilt" and if they don't they ensure public condemnation.

What's your decision Giok? - someone out there will have to make one.....
