[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 18795, member: 59"] I don't know where you're getting the asking for help info from. They did not ask for help. One social worker knew of the cages, she has been dismissed. She did not suggest them and admitted to not even seeing them and had no idea about the other abuses. There is something seriously wrong with a system that allows people to adopt that many special needs kids, they went through several different agencies so no one agency would know the whole story. There was credible testimony that they said they needed one more child to have enough money to not have to work anymore. There is evidence that these parents, while they probably started out trying to help hard to place kids, ended up being very overwhelmed and not having the childrne's best interests at heart. The abuses that the children described were horrid. This case infuriated me, I guess you can tell. There was plenty of help out there if they wanted it, but they knew that some of the foster children would be taken away and they didn't want to lose the subsidy. Also these children ahve been completely isolated from any news media. The only info is what came out in court. Thankfully the jury saw the real story. Nancy [/QUOTE]
