Sorry Tulip, I just don't buy it
Social workers, foster parents, courts and the whole rest of the world just don't act in pathological fashions just because they feel like it. There's probably a reason that your friend doesn't have custody right now. Birth parents are almost always given too much say in what goes on, not too little. The child "just fell out of bed?" I wonder how many times they've heard that one.
It's up to these people to make sure that this child is cared for. If that upsets a birth parent, tough. I wish that everyone in these situations could see that, unfortunately, that is not the case. In those cases, its up to the sw'ers and fps (who probably love this child very much) to protect this child against both the birth parents, and anyone who would return these children into harms way, their relatives and their friends.
If this child is returned to the parent and ends up dead three months later from "falling out of bed," it will be too late then to second-guess.
End of story.
