I think they should be sent to China for punishment.
You’re absolutely right that we should reserve judgment until things are *proven.* And Dorothy Rabinowitz did amazing investigative reporting for the WSJ on the Wenatchee case. That said, I stand by my statement that statistically, abusers are found in or near the home, and that non-blood relatives or sorta-kinda relatives (like a live-in boyfriend) are more likely to abuse a chld than a close blood relative. Of course, that does not mean that the adoptive parents in this case are guilty. We simply don’t know yet. My post was meant as more of a warning to parents who still believe that kids are more vulnerable to stranger danger than other kinds of danger.
Hi, Hetty,
Sorry for the reply to you. I got lazy and just hit reply on the last post I read. Yes, you are correct. All domestic crime (I’m a former D.A.)is pretty much home-grown. However, this story has a stinky smell.
I’d forgotten that Dorothy had investigated the Wen. cases. She deserved a Pulitzer.
hugs, Marty
