"is troubling either way that DCS workers were unable to keep a diabetic child alive for more than two weeks after he entered their care."

Fucik! (a composer)

We had a cat with diabetes for 12 years — when we were on vacation we hired someone to give ‘Oslo’ his insulin.

This is for a cat — what type of scum cannot the care of a child? (I personally guarantee you that it is easier to obtain a blood sample from a human -infant, child or otherwise- than it is from obtaining a sample from a cat.

This is absurd!

Why wasn’t he placed with the grandmother? Probably because the local government is paid by the state or Feds to kidnap children.

So sad.

“Jakob was taken into DCS custody after his father, Richard Blodgett, was arrested...”

Not to make light of a tragic and senseless death, but haven’t we been told countlessly that only inhumane monsters like Trump separate children from parents upon the parents’ arrest?

This is truly a horrible situation - a tragic case of the state failing miserably.

But lets not miss that the "father" was a dope-head (and I would wager a dealer) -
Richard, who had a different drug charge pending against him at the time of his arrest, claims that he wasn't abusing the more than 4,000 fentanyl pills found by police. Rather, he says he was using them to treat chronic pain after weight loss surgery.

4000 fentanyl pills for weight loss surgery pain? BS and double BS

How old was the kid? Laws now allow minors to make their own medical decisions. They are allowed to refuse treatment, even to death.
