I know a number of kids that got "a good walloping" more than once. None of them sodomized any other kids.

New Jersey doesn't have a Lemon Law for adopted children?
I believe this 100%.
Not matter how sick, twisted and evil a kid is, no matter what heinous crimes that child might have perpetrated, the Juvenile "Justice" system labels that child a "victim," and treats him or her exactly the same as an innocent child placed in the system for reasons of parental neglect.
I don't know about NJ but in TX the problem is there is so much pressure (not by DHS but by law so many times the social worker's hands are tied) to either 1) reunite the original family unit or 2) find an adoptive family asap so as not to have kids stay in foster care for years on end. Once parental rights have been terminated the state will do anything to get the kids adopted. Anything to the point of not informing the prospective parents about the child's history. Sadly, this is not the first time the info hasn't been given to the family and it won't be the last.
"A good walloping" is apparently part of how the kid got that way in the first place.
Oh, my! That just won't do. How very un PC of you. Don't you know that will end you behind bars and your kid taken away? At the risk of being blasted, I totally agree with you.
If ever there was a misnomer, it is that children are actually served. Most of the Social Services agencies are full of "beaurocrats", in the classic sense. Shuffling papers, standing at the cooler gossiping, and "keeping a low profile", are what they do best.
Many of them come into the job with a fervent zeal to do good, but are quickly overwhelmed with the baseness of humanity. They see the results of cigarette burns, broken bones, malnourishment, and psychological and sexual abuse of every persuasion, and then they get to go home and try to sleep.
IMHO, The Organized Church fell down on its job long ago, and abandoned the role of protector/leader of the family. The Church leaders became so busy with making sure the offerings provided for bigger buildings, but left it to gum't to fill in where the Church was failing, in helping to hold families together.
All of those buildings look nice. They have truly become empty sepulcres. Though there are still some churches that feed their flocks, more are just marking time, and allowing people to perish...
Pray for our nation... and our world! The only real answer begins and ends with God. Redeem the time!

That 7 year old should have been in an institution - not in a family with children.
Sometimes monsters are created - but can't be controlled.
Yes, the agency SHOULD be held accountable - in the same way that judges (or Governors) should be when they give early release to a violent criminal who repeats their crimes.
A known danger placed with other children....real smart move.
This kid is already messed up -- abuse is something he expects and emulates. Given that he's already got a screw loose, your "closed fist to the face" would make you the twin of the abusive father he was just taken away from -- now he knows he can't trust any males, and you've given him a good start on a life of crime.
You might check out the prison statistics to see the results of the brutality you're calling for.
Gosh. And if I read your post correctly, "good wallopings" didn't have the desired effect, since they had more than one.
But then, were any of those kids you know sexually abused? I thought not.
There are times when a good thwack on the bottom is just the ticket. But not when a kid has mental problems stemming from physical abuse -- to him, it's just more of the same.
"Whatever treatment he has had hasn't worked, and they have moved him and kept the problem a secret, etc, etc, etc."
Liberals have created quite a system, huh.
The rest of your little rant is no better.
