It would appear that the Brits have the same Child Welfare Standards as are found in the US. I mean, give me a break! After reading the article I see that the authorities had recently inspected and found nothing amiss. Likewise, school authorities either ignored or not concerned about the condition of these children. The "Relatives" suggested that something be done. All of this in the face of the obvious long term abuse of these children. Sounds like something out of Texas!
Just curious, why is it that you choose to focus your invective upon Texas, specifically?
Yeah right troll, remember the case in NYC where the little girl DIED and the "father" is now out of jail and had jobs waiting for him in TV and/or radio ?
