the state authorities are tearing children from their homes due to what their parents chose to name them.. but ignore this???

it seriously boggles the mind what protective services consider abuse and neglect these days. yer not allowed to name yer children after people you admire because most of society deems those people unadmirable.. but yer allowed to starve and neglect yer children to their deaths.
please explain this logic to me..

Ah, there's no logic to these people. It seems that it wasn't just the parent that is responsible here but those who were appointed to protect and help this poor kid.
It's bad enough when a parent kills their kid but when nurses and others conspire to let it happen I guess it's hard for the authorities to monitor everyone when it includes those who are supposed to be doing some of the monitoring!
Basically three people who were supposed to watch over that kid and each other all failed to do their jobs. In some ways they are worse than the parent.
I don't have any answers to how they got there. I dunno about the US but it seems that in the UK nursing was once a vocation and people used to go into it because they were caring and wanted to help, nowadays it's because it is well paid and they go to get a good job rather than to do a good job.
