CPS Releases Report After Child Dies from Alleged Abuse

My response to this article was unbelievable. Somethign that really gets to me is how a mother, or any parents could stay or be with somebody who abuses their children. But then again, she was probably apart of it. But by the sounds of it, it was all him. Either way, I wouldn't allow anybody to abuse my children, allow them to drink alcohol or do drugs. I don't understand how a mother, a parent could allow that to happen to a child. Or be apart of abusing a child, your own cihld so much that he dies from it. If the mother knew her kid wa sbeing abused, and the father wanted custody of the child, whynot let him? Unless she really wanted the kid to be killed, hated the kid so much. How could a mother be that irresponsible and crude to allow her child die?! Another thing that I was aggravated by in this article was that the neighbor even called CPS about a dozen times in the past months before 10-year old, Seth, died. The neighbor told the CPS screener that she heard screaming and fighting and banging and ws concerned for child abuse, and they did nothing. They didn't do anything, they didn't listen. They didn't remove the children from their care because they weren't at eminent risk! who cares, they were being abused and the neighbor knew, why not do something about? ERG! I also think that the father of this 10-year old boy should be able to and go through with sewing CPS!

Response on: Police: Man Abused Child for 16 Years

After reading this article I was way more shocked than I have been. For sixteen years, this guy abused some poor child, sexually. Taking Videos of it was way over the top for me, sexually abusing a child for the worst 16 years of his life is way over the top for me. Just regular child abusing is ignorant and i'm sure everybody, besides the people who do it, would agree with me. Sexually abusing, child abusing, for sixteen years, is just plain and utterly stupid. How can people live with them selves after doing such a harmful thing, and putting a young human being it such a hurtful experience. Ecspecially for so long, even after one hit of child. I know I couldn't live with myself for doing anything like that. I also don't get why it took the victim 16 years to finally say something, but it's a good thing. And its a wonder how the person is still alive. people are pathetic, they can't get somebody their own age, so they go after the young ones to get what they want, because they know they will get it from them, is that it? I just don't understand. It's pathetic.

Hillarys response

Hey I enjoyed reading your articles and I was happy to see that there were shelters and everything for abused children. It's nice to see that people are helping out and trying to take care of these abused kids. Abuse is something that I feel no child should have to go through and I know it's definately something that is very hard to try and forget and put behind you. I don't like children being abused or hearing about these innocent kids getting hurt and it's nice to know there are people in the world who really care about children and who want to try and protect them and make sure that they are safe. Good job with all your articles, responses and citations. You're doing a good job!
