Hundreds? LOL. Let's forget that your use of hyperbole is inappropriate for the moment. There are millions of children living in shabby housing all across the country where there is no air conditioning. This is not an indication of abuse. I suppose we had better rush over to South Africa and remove every child from their parents since they are forced to exist without climate control devices.
He also states that the girls had the flu . No wonder the girls seemed dehydrated and malnourished. They were.
Only one child was said to have the flu. The youngest. And it is absolutely natural for a person to refuse food when they are sick. It's a function of survival. An evolutionary response to being sick. It actually helps you recover faster if you do not eat.
For some reason Sieradzki offers this information as proof that the Christines were not neglecting their girls.
No he doesn't. He offers it as an explanation for the circumstances. It certainly doesn't support the idea that the Christines did such on purpose which is what the charges allege.
To the contrary, his description of the living conditions bolsters the state's case.
Only if you think that camping constitutes child abuse.
Surprise, living in a hot tin bus with no a/c during a heat wave is tantamount to being put in an oven.
LOL. They were there eating lunch (kinda refutes the "witholding food" accusation). Even the cops admit this is so.
For you to extrapolate that the children were never allowed outside the bus or that the Christines were abusing them is absurd.
The Christines were aware the girls had the flu and still remained in the bus. Sieradzki, in his defense of the Christines, does not state that they sought professional medical attention for the girls. And they did not.
I don't know about you, but everyone I know doesn't consider the flu to be worthy of a hospital visit even for an infant. The flu is only in extremely rare circumstances, life threatening. It is also not treatable by any medication or anti-biotic. I know you are aware of this so it is odd that you would attempt to create a crisis where none existed.
A reasonable parent would have sought medical attention for the sick girls and/or made alternative housing arrangements. The Christines did neither.
B.S.
Sieradzki further states that Xrays did show an old injury of unkown origin and that the girls made incriminating statements implicating the Christines.
Not really. Again you distort the facts. The police have backed off of their accusation that the injury was caused by Brian. They won't repeat it.
It all could have worked out differently if the Christines had received the necessary counseling and reunited their family.
They needed no counseling on how to raise their children.
They chose to fight the system by teaming up with the already in-place local political protestors.
After their children had been taken. Hardly an indictment upon the Christines or the protestors who had seen this sort of thing occur in the past.
College educated or not, these were two ignorant parents that thought cooking their sick kids in a hot bus was their parental right.
You can't help making an ass out of yourself. These hyperbolic statements do not bolster your case.
I'm repeating Sieradzki.
Then it was more than the flu. They all spent several days in the hospital before being placed in foster care.
