Jesus fucking christ.
There were so many balls dropped during this entire fiasco you have to wonder if there wasnt malicious intent against the family by someone with an axe to grind, and a position high enough to keep them out of sight.
I actually think the person who injured the child placed the report to cover it up and the hospital didn't know at first, but later colluded with protective services to keep the perp out of jail (although it would not shock me if he or she was fired or suspended)
I mean, even then, a cursory examination of the file, showing the child had been in the hospital for days, with daily scans, proving no fractures until like the 4th day or whatever it was, Should have been the immediate first step, and ended there.
DCFS dropped the ball hard to terrorize a family and sexually traumatize the kids with their genital "inspections". Especially with the fact that the file was fucking empty.
Think about all the time, money, and effort wasted on this provably false from the get go accusation.. Then think about how they don't even give a fraction of this time and effort to kids in actual bad, abusive situations.
