[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 30070, member: 59"] I consider myself very compassionate and I think most of us here give parents the benefit of the doubt but I also hope that we would question a parent who came to this board with the set of facts that have been presented here. I too have been on this board for many years and I have seen us be concerned about a particular situation. I have never thought we were here to just carte blance support every situation. If this mother had come to our board and explained the situation and asked for support I would hope that we would suggest that perhaps the situation was serious and the child should be taken to ER. We have done that and I know we will continue to do that, and we have done it in far less serious circumstances. In the end we draw conclusions based on the facts as they are presented to us. We evaluate the source and we decide for ourselves what our common sense tells us it correct. In this instance, my coomon sense tells me that this Mom should have realized there was something terribly wrong. And I am not prejudiced against her because of a disability or economic status. I guess it would be nice if we never made any judgements on anything but then I'm not sure that I can be that perfect. Don't judge us too harshly because we want to protect those too little to protect themselves. There are bad people in the world, even parents. Several months ago I posted a story about parents who kept their adopted/foster children in cages. Some of us here felt that was ok. These parents were recently found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison. This is an example of how some children are in abusive situations and I'm glad the media exposes them. It's often their only hope. I think we have all said if this story is not true then good, but if it is, shame on those parents. Nancy [/QUOTE]
