It turns out that the child had some sort of tropical malady that led to rapid weight loss loss, erratic behavior and an untimely death.

so did they bother to take the kid to the doctor?

My grandchildren are home schooled, and I think it's great.

but "home schooling" can sometimes be the way for people to abuse their kids by keeping them on wierd diets, no medicine, no shots etc...

I've also called child protective services to check the home when I found the father to be paranoid, yelling at his wife in my office, and the eight year old appeared frightened of the father. And I'd do it again.

Yes, I've seen abuse by child protective services, but I've seen kids abused and killed by mom, mom's boyfriend, dad etc...

I can’t get an answer to why a little girl who’d just dropped a third of her body weight was outside all night in the wind and rain.
