Am I an optimist or an idiot? October 4, 2005, my grandson was murdered by his mother's (not our daughter) boyfriend. We have worked for over a year to get a bill written. The four points are 1. When there are multiple hotline calls, pay closer attention. 2. If the child is in immediate danger tell the caller to call 911. 3. Don't leave a card when trying to make an emergency visit and no one answers the door. In our case it gave them a chance to clean the house, threaten the child, and hide the drugs. 4. Evaluate workers involved in a death or serious injury case to see if they need help, training, or discipline. Do any of these 4 points really sound like a bad idea?
Here's one of the latest in a long list of reports over the past 2 years: http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008804070335
PS: I'm Tim in the report.
PSS: My question is NOT to start a political or societal debate. I truely would like to get opinions regarding the 4 points. PLEASE do not turn this into a slam the government or family services thing...
