DCF takes blame for beating death of Tampa baby - St. Petersburg Times
TAMPA

ReplyDeleteMy next concern is that grandparents are almost always isolated from potential or active abuse cases. I know I am constantly told by the maternal side of the family, law enforcement, DCF that I don't have rights. In reviewing a number of cases in Florida, I found that if they'd listened to information of the grandparents, some persistent abuse and deaths may have been avoided.

Contact your State Legislature. The House of Representatives. They have been a big help in NH.
