Handcuffed boy's family: We've reported this abuse

If anything demonstrates societies lust for blood, it's how stories like this blow up in the news media.  Headlines like this cause people to buy newspapers as they are attention grabbing and I believe that every major news outlet in this country has probably presented this single story at least once by now.  Meanwhile, the state will pass some unpopular proposal behind the scenes, such as pumping more money into CPS so they can fix these kinds of problems, while the sheep are distracted.  I mean this was an outrageous case, but these kinds of high profile cases tend to benefit CPS who is then put under the microscope to find that the workers can't keep up due to heavy case loads, shortages of good homes thus forcing them to lower their standards crossed with a lack of training and proper background checks, workers not visiting the families every 30 days, etc.  The solution to this, of course, is more money.  That's what will ultimately happen because the anti-abuse mob have been given their springboard to hit up the tax payer.

It's all manufactured need.   "What!" cryeth the system suck, "you think that poor helpless child is manufactured?"

No Dumbass.  But this is a one of a kind case.  I hardly doubt that you will find very many kids, even in foster care, who are handcuffed to porches with dead chickens around their neck.  But everybody will have to suffer because of it.
