Every time I say "I've seen or heard it all" something happens to make me eat those words...and again, I say, I think I'm going to go throw up for a while now.

I'm not sure about the date. I got the link from a friend and just couldn't believe the story.

The headline alone made me sick to my stomach! What gets me is how long it went on without anyone noticing. Such a sad situation for all involved. Hope they all get some kind of help so other children are not harmed in the future.

I think it happens more than we are aware of. My son had an incident last year at his summer camp and he and the other child were 5 years old. Luckily my son reported it to me the same day and I reported it to law enforcement and DCF. DCF unfortunately did nothing about it as the camp was within staff ratios for the age of the children, which to me was basically not holding them responsible for the actions of the children under their care or for the level of supervision provided. I was very disappointed with the response of the system and the child care facility who then tried to label my son a liar. I did not wish to punish the other child but wanted to be sure he received help since the actions he attempted were adult in nature and he has witnessed or been victimized himself.

I too think that this happens more than we know. I am heartbroken that these families have to deal w/this now. I hope that they hold the staff accountable. If they were truely watching, then they should have noticied a couple of kids missing.
