How come this scumbaga life sentence is only 18 years

[qccfc]

truly sickening
who vets the prospective parents ? you would hope the whole process would be vigorous
18 years is a joke he should never be let out ever let the evil scumbag rot

Yeah of course the system is vigorous. However looking at the evidence is that the adoptive parent, became aggressive when he struggled to cope with the child's behavioral and sleep issues. You sometime find that foster and adoptive children will come to you with problem from the child's previous situation, and then also having to settle into a new environment.

No amount of vetting will find out how you will cope with this pressure. If your back ground is squeaky clean going through the whole process, no social worker would be able to see the future.

Social workers case loads are massive, and it tends to be the case that the workers will watch you initially and if there are no problems will leave you to it until they become notified of an issue. They then focus on their case load where reported problems occur.

The X-ray seemed to be a missed opportunity, but there will always be cases like this.
