Who's the Real Criminal

We have truly entered a state of diminished responsibility.

It has come to such a mind bogglingly absurd state that now, it is not the man who beats his year old baby to deaths fault, but the over worked, underpaid social worker who was repeatedly lied to who is blamed with the child’s death.

Now I will admit, yes, they should of done more, should of followed up there every suspicion, but when they’re lied to on a repeated basis, and have no physical evidence of abuse, how are they to know? How the fuck could they do anymore to help? They’re not suddenly allowed to take the child, the process is a long and complicated one and even with solid proof it often results in no action beyond a warning being given.

And yes, this is a failing in the system in general, but for god sake people, why the hell do you let this unfortunate failing in the child protection system overshadow the fact, a sick, cold bastard and his wife, two bottom rung, down and out fuckers BEAT THIS CHILD TO DEATH.

Sure, point out the flaws in the system, and sure, use this horrible incident as a flag to wave in a call for reforms, but seriously, this has got to a point several people losing careers they’ve spent years to achieve, and in the long run will lose more then the two absolute cretins who’ll be cosied up in prison with a roof over their heads, food on their plates and with all the basic comforts these sacked people will potentially lose.

Am I the only one who sees that yet again, the papers have drawn the focus away from the actual problem, like they did in the storm of accusations against the McCanns last year?

Ah fuck it, it’s too retarded.
