I actually couldn`t watch it all Loulou, just so heartbreakingly sad .... my heart goes out to those precious children sad flower sad flower
words can`t describe the awfulness of it.
Just feel an overwhelming sadness in my heart for them sad flower
I often think lou, as we sit in the comforts of our own homes, with love and security around us it is hard to think that these kind of things are really happening around the world. It is just too horrible for words. sad flower sad flower
What a horrible story . Now I cant sleep and I cant listen to the rest of that dreadful nightmare.

The police should have lock up every-one who was involved with those children

A very sad storydoh
Thoes people are SICK
wallops
Yes...hard to sit in the comfort of our homes and be surrounded by good people...and then you realize not everyone is fortunate as we are...

I do understand.....handshake

This story tells us children need protection and proper guidelines to be followed...the little boy died of malnutrition and some kind of bacterial pneumonia...he weighed 21 pounds at 6 years of age...sad flower

Yes...who cares about oil and the rest of the nonsense out there...when children are our future...and deserve to live happy and productive lives unscathed by adults and the system...
Our groverments does not want to spend money on social programs
like education and health , To do that thay wilbe called Communist and Socialist.

Better to spend the money making wars all over the place

And keep the masses of people in the dark and ignorant.

I thought Canada of all places had standards...Canadians believe in programs that help foster children's education and protection...the Children's Aid Society failed miserably to provide quality checks/inspections but most notable...they didn't do background checks on these monsters...they didn't look at their own files...how incompetent is that!!...having said that...my province has one of the worst records in child protection...we are spending less on our children regarding safety...sad flower
The child development cencenter thay had given this child to thoes sick people.
And I ask is there no oversite for your child development cencenter, Seems to me like some one was not doing there job right.?
Or that part of the civil service dont work?
sorry I ment centerdoh

The center failed at investigating foster parents or potential adoptive parents...the government stepped in and made recommendations...to help reduce such tragedies..
It happens a lot in the US too. There are so many children needing foster homes the background checks fall by the wayside in the rush to get the kids out the door.

This particular story was one of the most severe in Canada...the care providers had a child already die in their home previously and her own kids were taken away...but allowed to adopt her grandchildren...makes no sense...truly sad...they have a statue dedicated for that little boy Jeffery...
Lou, will watch it later. It hurts when people forget once they were children too.

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Thanks for the song and yes we need to remember children are our future...wine
crying crying everyone who lived there should be charged with aiding ?and abetting.....as ell a premeditated murder. They sat there watching every bit of it....allowing it to happen so they could eat and live freely. very mad crying
theresa
It is amazing that they were not charged!...to think that they allowed that boy and his sister to be treated cruelly is shocking...and the Society that allowed the couple to "look after" him should have also been charged...very mad
Cheered me right up they did...
