As soon as I saw the headline, I closed the window. Really don't need to read about it.

The horrifying part isn't what the father currently did:

More than 20 prior criminal cases can be found for the father in court records, including a no contest plea in April 2006 on misdemeanor willful cruelty to a child. He was placed on probation at that time.

He actually was allowed to have custody of a child after that. What is wrong with our legal system???

I didn't read the story, but I assume it was a different kid.

While felons lose the right to vote and can't own firearms, and while parental rights can be terminated, we don't say to serial abusers of women and children--or Mickey Rooney and Liz Taylor--that they are banned from forming personal or parental relationships. Fundamental rights, probably, slippery slope and so on.

Actually it might be better to just sacrifice the current kid he has and write it off as a lost cause rather than taking them away so that he moves on to serially ruining children.

Sure, that one might whine but then we should just mock it for its selfishness.

This is life in Bakersfield. CPS follows up on people like me, but yet let kids live with people like him, without a backwards glance. In all honesty Bakersfield is very racist. If that man was white the kid would have been taken away. I know how harsh that sounds, but that is the way it is.

I shouldn't see that, period!

CPS is now being investigated. So far it has been revealed that 3 years ago the father was under suspicion of child abuse/endangerment and was still allowed to maintain custody. Everyone seemed to know the father had a history of drug abuse, but no one did anything about it.

The boy's uncle is trying to get pemanent custody of the boy. Nothing has been said about the mother.

I saw this story 3 days ago on Boing Boing, I haven't been able to shake it since. Horrifying in every direction.
