It is sad when the system doesn't work the way it should. A few years ago in Chicago, a family friend's sister murdered her little girl by beating her to death. The little girl had been to the ER on different occasions with broken bones and a social worker had been sent out and they found no reason to remove the little girl. After an autopsy was done they realized she had incurred other broken bones that were never treated. Even family member called social services to have them investigate when things didn't seem right. Sometimes I think in bigger municipalities it is easier to fall through the cracks unnoticed.
