That might explain some of the problems, but then again, I would guess a lot of people need to realize that there could be all sorts of issues with an adopted child.
There is no excuse for child abuse.
This couple had no need to adopt a baby they were demonstrably unable to care for and are culpable for their self centered disinterest in the baby’s welfare. The British Care system failed this child miserably allowing this adoption to be finalized placing a child who had such severe injuries under this couples care where she had been repeatedly injured.
This baby had multiple injuries, broken bones, leg, ribs etc that were 5 days or more older at the time of the last incident. She had a broken leg, in Nov 2015, soon after they took her into their home when she was about 10 months old, Sept 2015. Physicians said that the leg fracture, in two places, was not c/w a fall.
On December 16, while Mr Scully-Hicks was at work, Elsie sustained a bruise to the left hand side of her forehead.
A health visitor advised Scully-Hicks to take Elsie for treatment on December 21. He allegedly lied that he had done so. On January 18 2016, Elsie suffered another bruise to her head.
For some adopted children, no matter how much they're loved, they can't get past their demons. Some can't be saved even when they're adopted as babies. It's devastating for the adoptive parents. Of course, the same could be said for bio children though I suspect in smaller numbers.
