MORE ABUSE AND MORE REGULATION
Here’s another abuse case that is being tied to the “need” to increase supervision of homeschools. It’s very confusing. Apparenly, the 10-year-old girl was chained to her bed when a fire broke out. She was unable to escape.

When will they understand that “not in school” does not equal homeschooling? Sounds to me like another case of educational neglect or truancy rather than a homeschooler. They act like public school children never die for stupid reasons like this. I remember reading recently in the local paper about five children who died in a fire while their mothers were out barhopping. Where they went to school was not mentioned so I assume they were in public school otherwise the media would have made a point of bringing up the “not in school=homeschool=abuse” angle. |

Wait a minute… the grandfather said his son told him in a phone conversation that Molly was being chained to her bed… Now the son says he didn’t know???(of course cause he’ll go to jail too) Social services had been called to investigate this family prior to them homeschooling, found nothing & just stopped following through. & Dad himself never ever had a clue that things were bad for Molly. There never was a time when Molly could privately tell her dad how bad things were & ask for help. I’m also fed up w/ these scummy people that do this to their kids no matter where they go to school or not Our local paper today has a story of a 9 month old baby being kicked & abused by her 19 yr old MOM. |
