Hi neighbor! Welcome to WS!
Perhaps because I live so close, I continue to hold hope that it is straightforward as the parents have stated unless evidence begins to show otherwise. I have followed many cases here on WS and regularly sense foul play before perhaps I should, but in this case, so close to home, I suppose I am biased in my hope that it won’t happen that way here (though I know that sadly it absolutely could!).
I agree with
@MassGuy that we can see the likely outcome is bad for this child. But I have a glimmer of hope for a miracle.
IMO MOO
