Dr Sardonicus was disturbed by the latest case of sever child abuse in the papers. The poor girl was starved to death by her aparently sane but sadistic parents. Social services turned up 3 times and each time the parents wouldn't let them in.
Eh?
Why didn't they call the police? I mean what were they expecting? The abusers to come out and say it's a fair cop guv you've got us banged to rights. Are modern socials services being trained in investigation by watching old episodes of Dixon of Dockgreen?
Perhaps part of the problem that know one talks about is the world of malicious calls to social services. Amongst a certain class of personage (they aspire to swear on Jeremy Kyle, took the pram to Woolworths on closing day and think Brighthouse is a bargain you know who you are), a call to social services to make an anonymous call is a hellfire missile strike from a Predator.
Neighbour think she's better than herself, boyfriend shagging some one else, or jsut bored?
Then why not accuse them of child abuse, cannibalism or doing things to the Doberman Barbara Woodhouse wouldn't have aproved of.
Dr Sardonicus supposes the only real answer is to judge each other less. I mean with less shame about needing help and not being able to cope, then maybe those who really do have problems will stand out more.
