A very young child on the bus is explaining to dad: "You can come with me, and play with my friends during playtime, and you can sit beside me when the teacher gives us lessons, so you don't have to go to work at all, daddy!!"

Problem solved.

…Mrs. Sullivan [was ordered] to wear an ankle monitor while on bail, Donald Therkildsen, an atty representing the state, told the court that when he met w/the victim, “his first question was, ‘Why is she out walking around while I was locked up in a room for 20 yrs?’”

As he heals, the city is grappling w/the failure of the authorities who were entrusted to help him. And another, more troubling question persists: How could this have happened to a #child that so many people were so worried about?

Continued thread

Many reports that may have documented these calls have since been lost, but what records remain show that responding *authorities* determined the boy was doing OK.🤬

After a while, w/o turning up any evidence of #abuse, the calls stopped coming. In fact, until the fire, the last recorded police visit concerning the boy on Blake Street was April 18, 2005, in response to a call placed by his own father.… to complain that he was being harassed by people continually checking up on his #child.
