ah okay thank you!! This is all starting to make sense now. Hopefully this clears up any other confusion that others have as well! <3
TO THE BEST OF WHAT I HAVE READ
there are no verified sightings of Lucas after February 11 when he was outside
with half/step siblings when they met the neighbors. IMO she may have had
nearly 6-7 days to plot/carry out/clean up after whatever occurred. IMO some
people who lack empathy can appear pretty normal and be accustomed to
living with lies and security of the untruth.
I suspect LE has much more evidence, suspicions and questions she may never answer. I can only hope all the talent, intelligence and diligence contained within the multiple agencies investigating is enough to hand the DA a prosecutable case.
I am very sad sad that it appears Lucas lived such a sad painful life. And Shane on the people he turned to most often failed him so miserably.
Everyone in his entire world(with a couple exceptions) had to see his face the bruises, and his very body fading away. It appears none of the main people responsible for his Care paid much attention. The relationships are very different and the atmosphere might not been loving or nurturing at all. DCF failed to save this little boy. Relatives reported his environment. I wonder after all the news since the senseless death of another child, how do the social workers who should have seen abuse, who are trained to detect it, live with their failures. In that job failure equates to pain and sadly sometimes death.
I worked with it for over 20 years and I never understood how they could circle ⭕️ the wagons, lie and attack those asking questions and even go to the extent to cover mistakes with falsified documents and decietful activity. Its just despicable a child protective agency can facilitate such a negative atmosphere.
