This article from Safe Passage for Children of Minnesota mirrors my experience as a CASA volunteer guardian ad litem. They are investigating 80 child murders by caregivers in MN since 2015.
From their reporting;
“In the first record we reviewed, one father had four additional years of ongoing access to a child he started sexually abusing at age 5, despite a no-contact order. Another father had four domestic violence charges, four convictions, and five violations of no-contact orders prior to killing his 13-day-old son. The parents were never required to get help despite four official findings of child maltreatment. Child protection finally removed the surviving children a year after the infant’s murder due to the mother’s drug addiction, first documented nine years earlier.”
Remember, 4 year old Eric Dean had 15 ignored reports of suspected child abuse over a two year period when he was murdered by his mother.
Thank you Safe Passages for the work you are doing.
