In these cases, I generally do not comment much or get involved in the CPS discussion. My main reason is I think the solution is far from a simple answer. I will say throwing more money or hiring more people for a system that does not work will solve nothing imo. I will also say every case is different and sometimes it is someone vengeful, an ex- in a custody case, their mother, etc. trying to get the other parent in trouble with false claims so care does have to be taken.
In this case though, that does not apply as there was a SERIOUS injury here while with someone.
I don't usually comment because again, it is a complex subject and I truly do not know what the solution is. I think the foster care system and CPS also have serious problems in many cases and each case is different.
I will comment in this case because this case is different than some and quite clear in that (1) this child had an extremely serious head injury, surgery and a helmet required; and (2) there apparently was enough reason to justify removing ALL of the children for six months. This appears to be fact and clearly there should have been constant monitoring upon any return, especially with Maleah and her injury.
I will also comment because a few pages or a thread or so back there was a link that stated for 6 or 8 weeks (I forget which but it was one or the other), CPS was to check weekly upon the children's return (after six months kept away) to BB and DV. Per BB, they showed up maybe 2 to 3 times tops in that period of time if I recall correctly.
Therefore, if that is to be believed, based on what seem to be facts and their own orders/plan, they failed and did not do their job. A judge also ordered their return. I do not know a soul involved so it is nothing personal against the agency or judge, just an outside observation from the facts we know.
Make no mistake about it though, DV is the one responsible for her death. Could CPS and BB have contributed in not seeing to her safety, and in a serious and chargeable way? Certainly imo.
I am also at a bit of a loss in a few cases recently, this one included, in that CPS records come right out to the public, what is going on there? I thought such records were extremely private, for one reason, because minors are involved? Who authorizes such a release and before anyone is even arrested? It is unusual to me. Any thoughts on this? I believe the same thing occurred in the AJ case. Yet in other cases they are held private from day one?
I get that now there is a gag order but how were they released to the public to begin with?
All jmo.
