"For the first two years of his life, Mikey lived with Ms. Buck, who was actively manufacturing and using methamphetamine. The Pediatric Resource Center for Child Abuse and Neglect (PRC) in Peoria, Illinois examined Mikey and documented multiple injuries he incurred while under the care of his mother, including: severe bruising, blunt force trauma, a human bite mark, black eyes, anal bleeding and tear, forehead bruising, rope burns, burned fingers, sores, misplaced hips, and excessive dental problems."
The mother could be clean and no longer abusive now. She might not. It seems he was better off with the woman who he first hugs.
1:46 "She used to hurt me." :'(
I think Christians should be allowed to indoctrinate their own children if they want.
What does this have to do with the question?
No! Drugs may have escalated the abuse, but once an abuser always an abuser. At the very least, short supervised visit and go from there. Absolutely heartbreaking that innocent children have to endure the failures of government.
