Well, now we know that the agency that was supposed to protect Haleigh Poutre neglected her as badly as her adoptive parents, allowing her to suffer months of horrible abuse. And now we know that the agency that was supposed to protect her wanted to remove her from life support just six days after she was admitted to a hospital with brain damage.
...
What else don’t we know about this case? Even Haleigh’s biological mother was forced by DSS to sign a gag order in order to see the child. The agency continually hides behind its supposed need to protect the privacy of the children it serves, when time after time it is merely covering up its own incompetence.
I'm somewhat ambivalent about the agency wanting to pull the plug on Haleigh, she was severely brain damaged. What is unacceptable is the conceit that DSS typically has precisely because they never have to admit they screwed up, as in this case.
