Maryland Gets An "F" Grade In Child Abuse Cases Involving Death & Severe Abuse

A national report has concluded that Maryland is among the 10 worst states when it comes to releasing information to the public about child abuse in cases involving death or serious injury.

GO HERE to read WBOC's version of this story.

The report found that Maryland policy is written in "severely restrictive conditional language."

Thats horrific!It only hurts the most vulnerable, the kids. I recently checked into the foster parenting program and since I do not own my home I wouldnt qualify-yet in the homes that look good "on paper", the children are exposed to dangerous people and conditions,like Kayla Edwards.Lets not forget her or Shamir Hudson or any of the other of Marylands children who fell through some gargantuan cracks.

Maryland officials want to protect the stinking actions and reputations of child abusers. They are scared to silence if the abused child'd death is a minority. Somebody might get sued. The public should be aware of all child abus,ers- their names photos on line and where they live and work.The normal American citizen needs to know all information possible so he can protect his family.A criminal has no rights as far as I'm concerned. Another reason crime is increasing. We police officers work hard to lock them up and their lawyer has them out on bail in an hour. This is called working together to reduce crime.Keep playing games with these repeater criminals and eventually one of your family will be touched . So sad.

But, the DEMs want to allow these bastards the right to vote.
Idiots, all 'round.

Maryland deserves lots more "F"s regarding the criminal element.

Who agrees with me that we should be able to grade all the different departments' effectiveness? Would it make a difference? I think it would!
