The thing is, millions of children have feeding tubes. And the first thing that parents are taught Is how to change them. If the childs weight gain is at a steady rate whereby it keeps in proportion with head growth on the centile chart then that child will only require a 6 monthly outpatient appointment. They as parents are trusted to recognise an emergency and seek medical help if needed. Since USA citizens have to pay for hospital treatment, it would be very easy to relocate and just have the previous hospital assume 'Well he is your child, it's you paying for his treatment and whatnot'. It would be nigh on impossible for medical staff to start searching through records for that needle in a haystack since they are very busy people themselves And it is not their job to do that. All the required agencies should be linked up as a network, working in conjunction with 1 another and sharing information as and when needed. Here in the UK, if Police are called out to a domestic or a birthday party whereby a fight breaks out and it is noted that a child or children are present within that address GUARANTEED Social Services will send Child Protection Officers to the home during school hours within 3 days. And not just to speak to the parents.. they will have a time written down in their little notebook for the family to again be at home but specifically the children. And they leave no stone unturned. And in turn Social Services will contact the local children's hospital for any previous incidents info involving them children at that address. So for the future, any anti social behaviours or accidents requiring hospital treatment from that specific home and 1 agency systematically alerts the other. It's our Countries way of safeguarding our kids from not only physical but mental abuse in the home and it works. Even the schools are in on it. My friend is a Social Worker and in some cases, the non celebration of a childs birthday can be seen as a form of mental child abuse. We have a duty to let our children know they are worth it and not worthless. All of the citizens of America need to shout it from the rooftops in a way that the whole world hears you- because we all back you on it - Call for change!! Call for your leader to log off Twitter and take stock of what is happening to the babies and children in HIS country, because honestly, the unsolved and ongoing abductions and murders are off the Ricter Scale and for every cold case yous are solving, Another 5 kids have gone! And they are the most precious thing ever. It is very sad X Will this poor child with the feeding tube ever be identified? Will the evil ba*!#*d who put her there ever be punished for it? I pray hard that justice be served.
May God Rest her Tiny Soul X
