Agree with what you are saying, however add in DV and we have even more concern. I have no idea how I would behave should I have a missing 5 year old, child or grandbaby. The grief could drive a person crazy and do crazy things. However, no child should be in the care of an adult that is going through this. Not sure anyone has the solution, my best guess would be therapy for the adults.
But we know that DV was an issue prior to Summer going missing, right ? So, for me personally, I find it hard to attribute yet another incident of DV to the stress of having a missing child. Mind you, that certainly can't help. But if I were looking for common denominators between this incident and the one from 2020 (because those are really the only ones I feel safe to mention here ) it would be drugs/alcohol. I find it extremely hard to believe that drug/alcohol treatment wouldn't be a requirement for reunification with the remaining children who have been removed from the home, but I honestly don't know the first thing about CPS , so maybe I'm mistaken in that thought. I dunno. Either way, it doesn't appear to me that either Don or Candus have any genuine desire to get clean. It's sad and hard to watch, even from a distance.
