To the editor: This text is a heartbreaking reminder of the risks kids face in their very own houses, and we should defend one another and our kids as a group (“L.A. County can pay $20 million to household of 4-year-old boy who was tortured, killed,” Sept. 30).
Nevertheless, the story is basically lined from the angle that the federal government, not the household or the group, failed the younger little one. The mother and father of this little boy had a historical past of abuse, but nobody fought for him whereas he was alive. Nobody saved him from his mother and father, not even his great-grandmother.
Whereas the lawsuit in opposition to the Division of Little one and Household Providers is justified as a result of it was notified and has the authority to make these choices, the federal government will not be the one useful resource out there. Persons are additionally a useful resource, household is a useful resource, and a group is a useful resource; we should be the individuals who will be counted on when our kids want us.
