Good God, what a face....
Agree. My son goes to a special school, mostly kids with autism, and the staff nearly outnumber the kids. There are so many adults involved in the care of SN kids that abuse really can't go unnoticed. I note that the school he [the victim] attended was a mainstream school with a Special Ed department that appears very well staffed. I find it hard to believe none of them would have noticed.
special ed is nothing like mainstream classes where it's 1 teacher to 20-30 kids and things can get missed.
yeah, his school looks great. I'm sure that his teachers are really hurting right now. I've found that the staff that choose to work in special ed form really close bonds with their kids and are so loving.
Abusers often know how to not leave marks.
And I imagine a non-verbal child would be a pretty easy target for abuse.
Sadly, special needs children (and adults) seem to be subject to abuse far too often. And sometimes it goes on for a long time before people even notice.
Who's he?

I agree it’s typically caught. However if he was prone to any form of self injury all signs of abuse could be easily explained away. You don’t go from 0 to murder in one abuse session.

Oh my gosh. Whoops. Honest mistake! I thought a young male relative was arrested in connection with poor little Joe's murder.I don't mean to laugh, but i can't help it because I thought the exact same thing! I think that might be "mom"

Neither of which were special needs children, I specifically stated that special needs children tend to register a stronger response then regular children. I don't know about the Mathews case but the Hernandez case involved reports to DCF for abuse and family came out to state they themselves made reports involving abuse. None of this has happened in this case. If Joe was being regularly abused someone would have come forward by now to announce they knew and reported it, this hasn't happened.
