I would love to be the one who had the honor of lighting the pilot light in Hell for this monster.
Oh, and good call there Texas CPS social workers. Really nailed that one, huh?

She was taking anti-psychotics. Now, I have worked in the field of mental health, and as a result am usually not one to fall into the trap of stereotypes about it. But I also am realist enough to know that when one takes anti-psychotics, then one is not generally considered well-adjusted.

Goes to show that these so called "experts" aren't that good at what they do...
We should feel lucky that the child didn't survive. The child would have had to live a tormented life if it had survived. I feel particularly sorry for the two other children. They will have this to live with for the the rest of their own lives.

I can't even begin to understand why this happened. It's truly unfathomable.

I have seen cases here in Washington state where real abuse existed and CPS was called and did nothing and I have seen one case where false accusations were made and CPS was all over it like stink on shit. You never know what you'll get. I saw a newspaper article that said there are 3000 CPS cases past the deadline for action to be taken in this state. I know they are horribly under-staffed.

In most states, the pay is shit. Yes, they are overworked, understaffed, overpolicied, over-red taped, and sadly underqualified.
Again, I draw on my own experience working in the social services arena. You hire ten people. Four are inept, lazy, or otherwise unfit to do the job. Three are too concerned with their own agendas to focus on their task. Two will be put off by the dreadful pay and leave to either persue other fields or go back to school. The other one is worth keeping.

Back on topic...Exactly how often does this happen?
), probably doesn't get as much media attention.
