[@frowlinian8175]

Now, I dont have anything at all backing this up beyond personal experiences with friends/family but I truly believe that it you make it out of a dysfunctional family/childhood healthy (mentally and physically) then you'll come out of it just as Jennifer has; more loving, caring, and kind than you could ever imagine. I'd imagine it having to do with them knowing full well what's it's like to be on the other and to never want to do anything remotely like that to another person, even if it's just being rude or not caring about someone. It boggles my mind how someone can go through something like that and be the opposite of what you may expect them to be... lord knows I couldnt do it and the difficulty isnt lost on me. I suppose it's kind of like how someone who is depressed might try their hardest to make other's laugh, I'm sure that's called something but I'm by no means a psychologists. It makes sense in my head though.

@@robertsmith4157 Yeah but a lot of normal people will still protect their family members even if they committed a serious crime like murder or rape. My 26 year old cousin was molested by our other much older cousin when she was a little girl. She told her parents but they wanted her to keep it a secret and not say anything about it because they didn't want to cause drama in the family. She only told me later on because she was afraid he might have done the same thing to my little sister. Luckily he didn't or I would have killed him for those evil actions. I hate him and am still pissed that he didn't go to jail for rape. The cousin that was molested is a very important person in my life and I despise that she had to go through what she did. I sadly can't do anything if she doesn't want me to confront him. My parents know too and my mom still loves him and tries to defend his evil actions.

And “supervised” doesn’t mean shit if the supervisor that's assigned isn't required to be armed and/or proportional in strength to the untrustworthy parent, and the judge knew the system doesn't work like that. If the social worker here, who was a 65-year old small woman, had made it inside with the boys, Josh would’ve killed her too.

If you go listen to the full 911 call you will see who dropped the ball here-the 911 operator delayed the boys’ rescue which almost certainly caused their deaths.

[@nicktalk8589]

@@THEOLYMPIAGUY360 you mean NOT the federal gov't? Nevermind, CPS works with law enforcement, courts. GENERAL ....it's all gov't. The feds DID get involved in this case, they had to because of the suspected possible location of Susan's body. I'm not trying to argue with this. THE COURT ORDER FROM THE JUDGE was STUPID. KIDS ARE DEAD after being handed to a murderer right through his front door, END OF STORY. Maybe some would hand their kids over to a CPS worker and follow the rules. That's FINE for their children, it would have NOT been for MINE. Mine's alive and well btw. Theirs are DEAD.

No the father failed them. Don't blame the system. The system can't go around taking children just because the stupid public thinks it's best. There are steps that are required in every process and obviously they didn't see it fit to take the kids genius.

[@RYMAN1321]

@@flexl9214 But the fact that Josh claimed to have taken the children out camping during a blizzard didn't raise alarm bells? And aren't most supervised visits supposed to take place at a neutral site? And not in their f***ing house?

[@flexl9214]

@@RYMAN1321they can't check with every parent to check if their stories check out. The parents need to raise these kids not the system. But In regards to the visitation. It can be anywhere they decide to do it. They see a mediator before hand and all this is decided heforehand with location to meet and times and duration. So this is decided by both parties unless one party does not make the appointment. Then it will be chosen for him/her. So it could be a house. A mall. A restaurant.. a park wherever is clever.

Flex L It’s their job. I was failed by the CPS of my country as well. Do you think I care that “they can’t check with everyone”? Being told I’m a liar and attention seeker by members of the CPS impacted my life in such a negative way. People should just in general be more on guard when it comes to child abuse. I don’t have sympathy for the system and I don’t have to. They didn’t have sympathy for me. They were sloppy and didn’t do their job.
