As the child of the abused, I tell you that it can stop. It only takes one person to break the cycle. This girl could be that one, unless the state decides they can't risk it and removes her children to government-approved homes to live among strangers.

It can indeed, but there first needs to be investigation, and if necessary therapy and training for these children and children of children. I am not willing to just throw the dice with these children before this thing works through the system. as imperfect as the system is - it is far better than just leaving children in harms way and hoping for the best.

I can never approve of a ‘shoot first & ask questions later’ child safety policy.
The government’s fingers are to thick for the delicate task of sorting out the unfit parents from the rest.
