Each of these stories are heart wrenching. I agree that there are people who can throw blame around on both sides. That will not solve anything. What needs to be done now is to develop ways to make things work better.
I for one know what it is like to be a child being abused and no one helps. Yes, CPS came and yes they spoke to the parents. But they did not do much of anything to really help us and the abuse continued.
I guess one must ask themselves what they can do to help. We can scream and yell about it all. But do we get proactive ? Are we afraid to pick up the phone and make a call or deal with abuse when we see it.. or do we feel intimidated about the situation. Or think someone else will handle it.
What would you do ?
