I can hardly wrap my mind around the awful things that this boy endured.
I do wonder though if his mother and the women who she gave custody to and who later so horribly abused Kyle were lesbian lovers. And if this women was in a sexual relationship with the other couple in that house. Because in the back of my mind is a little niggling remembrance that says there have been several high profile cases of lesbian lovers torturing children in their care.
The cruelty of some people cannot be underestimated and I cannot see how any agency no matter how well funded can prevent all the cases.
The correlation of abuse with ‘live in’ fathers or other non-married type of arrangement is very high.
lots of high profiles cases of hetero sexual couples abusing their foster and adopted kids, too.
I’ve heard of plenty of hetero people abusing kids.
