I actually felt a bit ill
when I read that news report. What I'm gobsmacked by, is that the school teachers noticed that this kid was looking incredibly thin, stealing other kids food and by the end actually rooting through bins to get apple cores, and nobody flagged this is a potentially very serious problem.

I still feel guilty about the time my kid fell off the bouncer when she was two months old because I hadn't strapped her in properly.

You should be banged up
My kids are always firmly strapped in when they play. Look. img120.imageshack.us/img120/4666/cockpit7joty1.jpg

From what little I know, there were concerned raised, social services knew but they repeatedly fell for the bullshit from the parent.s

Did they have older kids?
When we had little UltraMagnus the social were always coming over to check we weren't beating her with the Sword of Omens but by the time little Hermione came along they couldn't care less.
