You make a very valid point and I agree there MUST be NATIONAL ABUSE REGISTRY. How do we make this HAPPEN ????????

And what exactly would that change?? Is there less sexual abuse because of the registry? NO! Its because women and children just arent that important.

​@@mynameiseve.1 This is a sad truth. Women and children really aren't that important to our society.

House tried passing a Bill for a Registry of CA; that CPS, police etc can check the history. It made it to the Senate; and stopped so they could review the financial cost, and if a database was needed. They determined from prior CA cases - I forget the number, it was either 800 or 8,000 children that would would have benefitted from that databases. The Bill was dropped in the Senate .... end of Bill. The State of VA now has a state law that is attempting to bridge this; out of state families moving in -- IF child services are needed / CYS has to research 5 years about their out of state dealings with CYS/police.

There is a national register for child abuse and neglect.

Right!😡

@wideawake8415 Fact, totally so in numerous cases.

The system itself is a red flag!

Yes, CPS needs to be well funded, and they need to hire far better ppl for that job. That costs money! They need to pay well and therefore hire far better ppl for that job. And they need to massively increase the amount of workers. Whoever mishandled this case needs to be fired and jail time for not going there physically as they are supposed to do. CPS is not a place where lazy ppl should ever be allowed to work. That is absolute laziness to not go speak to Melinda physically. There is no excuse for this to keep happening. It is happening all over the Country and it needs to STOP! If this Administration can spend billions arming other Countries for their wars and bring in 40 million illegals and give them free everything. They damn well can fund services for the protection of children! This is an outrage! It is a total discgrace!

💔

In Illinois 1 case worker in central Illinois just released a video crying, she said she has 137 cases to visit every month with just 30 days to do so. She was begging Illinois for funds to hire enough employees. She truly seemed absolutely heartbroken and exhausted. There’s zero ability or 1 person to adequately home visit 137 families a month. It’s impossible and disgraceful. Illinois has legal rec weed- use that money - find money, the state is taxed heavily- I looked this all up. It’s not a lack of funds it’s a lack of desire to fix the problem - poor girl was ready to have a nervous breakdown.

Too many children and workers stretched thin. This isn't an easy job in best of times and it has a high burn out rate. There are many people that don't have the money to get a college degree.. If the government really wanted to, they could train workers to do this job. I used to work with MH/MR adults and children. I don't have a college degree but this stuff can be taught. Especially to hard working people that would really like this job and just have that good inside them that wants to make a difference in a child life. They should really start training people to do this job without the college degrees. Most people can fill out forms and referrals. Most people can look at a child and know there is something wrong. Wouldn't it be better to have a lot of social workers trained then a few with college degrees? Most mothers have what these kids need already built inside them just from raising their own children. Don't get me wrong, im not making light of a college degree. But right now there are so many children that need a stable adult in their life it would be worth trying. Like with teachers they could require background checks, finger prints and then completing training courses. They could even do hands on with other social workers until you know what you are doing. Then require so many extra training hours a year. I just think its something that could be done if they really wanted to solve the problem. With taking abortion off the table for women, there will be a lot more babies going into the system. They will need even more trained adults to help with the growing need.

All across the United States !

That’s the American way! Don’t expect the state to look after you! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Why are there so many of these cases 😡😭

@@cindyjoadams Ask the Republicans. They don’t believe in looking after anyone but themselves. 🤬

This country needs to help its own citizens which includes children…stop putting tax money into illegals.🤬 Help our own…..

​@@Cecil-hotelyou think money will stop this woman and man ..not worth calling a father from beating this child 😒 sounds so clueless and part of the problem

@@supme7558 yes I do. More money that would hire more children service employees their case loads are to large to handle…so there is this oh clueless one. Your probably for defunding the police and then cry when they don’t respond fast enough…yes money for our citizens…grow up.

@@Cecil-hotel 🤔🙄😕

System failed once again.

I read that children are _20 times_ more likely to be abused when an unrelated person resides in the home.

Let's not forget about abusive 👹 spouses. Although much harder to prove some types of abuse when foul play, abuse & blackmail (full of lies) is constantly aimed & physically done to you 💔

Better yet, if you’re a single parent and can’t figure out that you need to stop dating losers to begin with, you probably shouldn’t have those kids at all. So heartbreaking 😢

In this case the child should not have even been with the parent.

NOT all partners do things like this Fathers and Mothers also do terible things to their children.

EXACTLY… How many more innocent children must suffer without the proper protection of authorities

Always. Just like the case in Silver City New Mexico I think where the little girl died. She was dead and her parents were passed out on drugs ON TOP OF HER. and it was reported multiple times and no one did anything. And she has a brother who can't walk that now is all alone in foster care. This is wrong but now it's in PA. We gotta do something! 😢😢😢😢

Government systems by nature cannot solve these problems! Government is the problem!

Unfortunately, the system has failed many, many children. They need to make some big changes, STAT!

@@KatWilliams-xp7cc I don't think "God failed her", I just think God doesn't exist. If there is a God, and he lets things like this happen to children, even though he has the power to stop it, he's not a God worth worshipping. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is incredible how many people know abuse is happening and do not even anonymously report it which makes social workers and police jobs even harder. Delia Morris

Is there no d.p.

This me, me, me mentality is the very problem with our society. You ppl don’t care unless you too are somehow affected/included. That’s not real empathy …

Video title and description says 12 years old. Not that it changes anything, but just thought I'd let ya know.

That “father” was complicit. He ALLOWED his child to be tortured by a monster. COWARD

​@@xx_Joker_xxThere was a 2 year old beaten to death in her prior marriage! And only the Dad was charged.

@@alesiap.6062 not surprised.

I don’t know how you enforce that once someone is off probation. A child abuser registry?

If they had just stayed in touch and gone by to 'visit' regularly, this could have been avoided. But really the father is to blame. He knew of his girlfriend's history. Disgusting.

They said here they were “estranged” from their father, as in he wouldn’t allow them to visit. Also they were in a rural area (hard to get to if you don’t have a licence or vehicle) & we don’t even know how old the sisters were, maybe young teens? Leave them out of it!

Eating

@@Sc-dd6hb No, they should not be left out. They're opening their big mouths now saying how much they cared about her and they knew their father, what did they think was happening?

Well they told u if u listened and stop trying to blame her sisters

@@agds91078 same here. I'm a mother of 4 and was a step mother to 3. To this day, I absolutely love my stepdaughters. I actually call them my daughters. We keep in touch, they (my kids and step kids) still call each other brothers and sisters and are friends on Facebook. We've celebrated the births of their babies, etc. Heck, their real, biological mother came over to the car one day (I thought she was mad about something) and told me "my girls tell me how nice you are to them. I just want to thank you. It gives me such relief and peace, knowing that when they're not with me, they're safe with you." I almost cried, because I know that feeling too well. This is how step parents should be. If you have a new boyfriend/girlfriend in your life, if their step parent isn't good enough to walk over and thank them for what they do, get that step parent OUT of their lives. Immediately!

I agree, if a child is murdered that they had an open case with, they should go to prison for Manslaughter. They need to stop hiring just anybody for that job. That should require loads of schooling and training and they should have to have a full degree in Child Psychology. And they should be paid accordingly. The lack of funding for CPS is a disgrace! These Senators, Congress ppl and Presidents need to stop funding other Countries and their wars. And put that money in to our own ppl and Country.

Like you said, they come up all the time. They have too many broken families to monitor. So, instead of placing responsibility on an agency already overbooked, how about you put responsibility on sh*t parents who hurt their kids? Personal accountability has to matter. Your mindset is not advanced enough. If it was, your comment would've been different ❤

@@TheINFJChannel I never said it was 100% the fault of CPS. Of course it is the fault of sh^t Parents. That is a no brainer. But what has led to this issue in this Country? Lets go back, shall we? Let's go back to the 90's when the Clinton's were in office. When they pushed that children do not need a Dad. They just need a Mom. The whole anti family values movement, led by the Left, and the flaming feminists in this Country. You want to talk about cause and effect? It began there and only got even more radical from there.Have you ever read the Communist manifesto? You should. The total destruction of the family is number 1 on the list of Communist planks. Then add in Mr Obama. With his radical leftist ideology. He filled the courts across the Country with leftist activist Judges. And DA's who do nothing but make plea deals with child abusers and p^dos. The chickens come home to roost. Add in this horrific economy under Biden and a wide open border and fent coming over the Border daily. This is what you get. There is no value of human life. These kids are being taught there is no God and no moral construct. What did ppl think would happen?

@@TheINFJChannelThese workers have knowingly places children in abusive placements or leave them in a place of danger. CAS in Canada does the same thing. It is an incredibly broken system with little being done to revamp it and to hold those who fail to do their duty, accountable for their lack of intervention. My father worked for two boys groups homes when I was young. Both were loaded with SA. My father reported it and got those places shut down. One of the staff from a group home in Ontario trafficked a girl. There are plenty of other horrific stories.

Sadly taxpayers are paying these folks..for what??..more wasted taxpayers money..

Hopefully, their fellow inmates will see that these two get the true justice they deserve.

So do psych nurses and many others. I was a psych RN for 22 years. I will never recover from the things I have seen. I am NOT a hero and neither is LEO or lawyers. We do the jobs we signed up to do. Stop already with the disgusting hero worship people.

She's with in the arms of Jesus safe never to be harmed again

Well the father wouldn't allow the sisters to see Malinda after they said they were concerned about possible abuse.

I had an upstairs neighbor that was a CPS salary taker. She was INSANE.

more concerned that parents use the right pronoun for their own children.....forget about these murderous situations...

Many times is the Judge that made the decision to send the kids back to the parents.

Right! I'm sick of the way laws don't protect women and children!

Our federal government has now "lost" over 100 thousand children who've come across the border the last three and a half years.

Take pictures. Record everything in a journal. Video tape whatever you can. Continue to call CPS. Get police involved. Don’t stop

U need to report this to child welfare..police & keep reporting..keep a notebook of every date & time u report & who u spoke to & always get an event number..Go over people's heads..u know what needs to be done..save those babys❤️

@@rhettoneill836 I have videos And a camera pointing directly to their yard I am gonna start writing down dates and journaling.

I would call police immediately.

​@@thatgardeninggirl2864Call the police now! Don't wait

Hold teachers accountable as well.

@@mskiva3054 She was probably home schooled. Teachers are mandated reporters. They would have Reported if they saw something.

You do t blame the helpers. There are many horror stories of false accusations from neighbors, police, hospitals etc and children taken away.

Exactly what I said

@EdZirul Many workers, in many state and government programs do the job of 3 people with unrealistic case loads. The system is broken not the social workers.

I take it her mother isn't in the picture? Or if so she didn't know what was going on? I just don't understand why no one helped this child!! RIP sweet angel!

Another report said the school did report suspected abuse multiple times. The dad then pulled her out of school. CPS just called the dad, never checked on her in person.

Did this child go to school? I find it hard to believe that if people had contact with this child they would not notice that she was malnourished and abused. No one can be that abused and not show signs.

Where was the girl’s mother? Maternal grandmother or grandfather??

You are not understanding, this WAS reported to CPS. CPS just called the Dad and never went to the home physically, to make sure Melinda was ok. Reporting abuse does nothing when the agency taking the call doesn't even go to the home to make sure the child is ok.

@@alesiap.6062 I understand that is why there NEEDS to be better training and background for CPS often you hear same stories and the CHILDREN are the ones HURTING!!!!!!! So with all do respect dont tell me i dont understand i work over 25 plus yrs helping children from abuse i know the system is mess up I am an advocated till the day I die for protection of children. Instead of pointing out what you didnt hear what i said get on these legistrated congress to change how these agency are to care for our children ..Be proactive not just productive...

See something and then say to yourself.Wow that must suck. Calling CPS and having CPS call.A father seems to me that would just amph up the abuse. We pay for cps but we have no control over cps. Not many businesses run that way unless they are government (you and myself) Managed. Anyone can say anything they want and get elected.That doesn't mean they have to do what they said they would do. Ballots should be sent out where our tax dollars are involved. Show the company's credentials and how pay will be allocated as if we are business owners because in reality, we are. Our government is our representation, our voice. We forgot that. Elon Musk wouldn't run a business like that. Neither should we

Exactly

Kids aren’t going to admit they are being abused. They have usually been threatened or so on

Most likey won't say if they did. I didn't tell my teachers anything because it will always get back to your parents that it came from you. Then when you get sent home it's gonna be worse for you than if you didn't say anything.

A lot like my own hometown. Bystanders don't want to step in. And people in authority to fix things openly refuse to do it. The girl isn't family: So, they're not concerned about her at all.

The mom was in a nursing home. The sisters were likely young teens (dealing with an extremely unwell mother). This is ALL on the FATHER.

Prayers are not going to help one bit. Eyes that see and respond, ears that hear and hands that actually help is what makes a difference. How thick a person must be not to notice this torture in a cimmunity/neighbourhood. I would think it is nigh impossible. 👀

On her death bed they said at the beginning.

Where was her mom? Did she have visitation rights!?

Animals don't do this 'stuff' to their young.
