Hespera is right with her statement regarding child abuse but do you think Docs look for that themselves when assessing when a child is at risk of this abuse? I have seen a number of children doing physical issues that disturb me while visiting my children in school with these other children having a clear sexual abuse issue going on with 2 children having confided in me that this was taking place from the mother's boyfriends! I told the principal and this child and the other one both still live in their homes with only 1 visit from Dchs.

Both homes have severe domestic violence with police constantly there and still docs don't return, they wonder why children end up dead...either by murder or suicide.

Just got advised about a child in the Department's care up north I think committed suicide...would love the link for that online from the courier mail.
