Thread Name: BS: Child neglect and the law
Subject: RE: BS: Child neglect and the law
I disagree. I think when the safety of children is concerned, you have to err on the side of their welfare, and you have to soundly be outraged, and express your outrage, at the danger they put those children in..not counting abduction, pedophilia etc..just scalding themselves or getting wedged in furniture...

And you have to go after professionals with the same vigor you would go after a crack mother... no free ride for doctors. You have to be intolerant of these situations and you have to let the world know so that other people don't get the bright idea that they can, as is said to have been done by one of their party, leave a vomiting 3 year old alone...oh but we checked on her...I remember a child in Maine whose mother went out to drink..he was 4 years old, went to look for her in the 10 foot high snowbanks...was found wandering around...

And there are not two scenarios: them totally innocent and them brutal psychopaths. There are all sorts of situations in between that could have occurred. I think the best outcome would be some lonely childless woman took her and thinks she is her daughter and will give her back. That is a chance of about 1 in a million. I think the next best scenario is that there was an accidental overdose and that she died painlessly because some of the other possibilities are too awful to contemplate. mg
