I think these parents got in way over their heads.
When the kids were younger, it was probably easier to manage the household and keep everyone on a schedule. As the children got older and reached teenage years, I think the parents struggled. Because of the previous court case, maybe they were scared to ask for help or let people know they felt overwhelmed. I haven’t heard anything about current doctors and/or psychologists. I would imagine the multiple moves would be stressful and difficult on special needs children. I don’t have kids myself so maybe I’m way off base here, but it just seems like a “stable as possible” environment would be the best for children. Most especially children that have experienced trauma/loss.
I think the spanking conviction is awful. One thing I don’t understand though is why continued parenting help/checking in doesn’t seem to have been part of the follow up? Maybe it was and I just haven’t heard about it. Rather than convict her and then let things continue on their merry way, it would seem logical to have parenting classes/anger management/family therapy/etc be part of the “after” situation.
