I'm so glad the school got involved. People hate child protective services, but it saved me as an 8 yr old from being sexually abused and neglected. My brothers didn't experience what I did, but they were mentally abused. it was so hard being split up into three foster families. I know not everyone can handle multiple kids but I wish we could have been together. My heart aches for this child, chosen to be the whipping boy, locked up, isolated, hungry, bored, hearing the others get to be normal. And the parents maliciously trying to project negatives onto the victim.. I hope to God they experience things equal to or greater than what they did to that helpless child. I'm all for prison paybacks and righteous indignation.
