MORE JACKSON STUFF
Some details in the Jackson starvation case are beginning to emerge. The boys evidently were being homeschooled (contrary to earlier reports). In addition to filling in the details, this article includes some of the most statist, self-serving bureaucratese I’ve seen in a long time:
“We believe he needs us to be his guardian and to provide services,” said Ralph Siegel, a spokesman for Human Services…”An entity beyond goverment needs also to be protecting Bruce’s interests,” he said…Tom Blatner, a child welfare consultant and former head of DYFS, said the state owes the 19-year-old every chance for “the best possible life.”
Remember, these folks are the same group that failed to notice that the kids were starving to death during 38 visits by social workers.
