I am not surprised how long Kristi waited before declaring Kiesha missing.
The fact that Kristi punched Kiesha so forcefully, one can only assume that their was physical damage (cuts bruising etc) to Kiesha's face, and I am guessing bruising to Kristi's knuckles etc..
She would not get Kiesha help for fear of being investigated for Child abuse.
She would have had to wait for the physical damage on her hands to heal, and I am guessing ensure the house is free from any evidence (cleaning product smells, residules etc)
so angry at this case, it is making me ramble...

I comes back to people in responsibility having a duty of care to follow through. My sister in law in the US is a teacher and she said they are bound by law to report abuse of children and the elderly. I wonder if we have the same laws and if we do, who is responsible for following up the case?
If I believe anything KA says, it was she was not toilet trained and school was a problem. I wonder if KW was incontinent at school (for a good reason) and they told KA to enrol her in another school that could provide the resources to respectfully change her at school with dignity.
I am thinking this would mean KW may not be able to take the school bus and she had to be driven. Explains maybe in some part why she wasn't at school. Her mother was just too lazy.
Could it be that the first school asked for KW to change schools and she never did because the interview would bring out details of past and present abuse. Either way, who has the duty of care?
Off topic, I met a lovely 20ish lady today who was so kind and helpful. We struck a conversation in which she told me she has intellectually disability with speech and other issues. She was working with young children in the same position. She has to has to live in supported adult housing with others to learn more.
I asked her what it was like to be a child with her condition. She said she spent most of her time as a child in a room by herself as people didn't know back then that we could learn.
I bet she did not get punched at all from different directions which resulted in a broken jaw.
If KA plays the pity card, be warned as it will be an epic failure because your daughter wet the bed.
