It is the primary job of a parent to protect and train their children. This child, along with his brother had rotten teeth. There is no excuse for kids having rotten teeth, let alone untreated ones.

Had the kids ever seen a dentist?

Were the kids forced, under parental compulsion, to brush their teeth at least twice a day?

Were the kids allowed to drink sugary Kool-Aid in their sippy cups as infants throughout the day and into then drink it at each meal and throughout the day?

I resent that these liberal journalists who tacitly affix racial blame to government. "We failed this poor Black family." Hogwash! I don't want to come across as uncaring, but decisions have consequences and this woman was enabled to continue to make BAD decisions for herself and for her children while the government helped her limit the collateral consequences of her lifelong bad choices.

It is very sad that this child died needlessly, but the MOTHER should be held accountable. PMSNBC again demonstrates a toxic liberal media who seeks to mitigate wrong behavior.
