"The Department of Family Services was apparently called by the older of the two siblings to report the abuse, but the girl said DFS told her they needed more information -- so she stopped calling. "
This kind of crap makes me want to smack someone..HARD.
The last I heard, if I recall correctly, one was in the hospital and the other in foster care I think.. SOrry I can't be more informative. I've not watched the local news or read the local paper for a few days.
My Cousin was a social worker and she seemed more concered with "satanic cults" that ran day care centers than with every day families. She was and is an indocrinated liberal moron and I barely speak to her today. But people like her run our state SS services. Totally moronic. She actually told me that "boyfriends" as oppossed to legal husbands are better for kids of single moms as they show how "empowered" their mom is in "choosing" a male without the "patriarchial" bond of marriage!
