No way, no how. Are you trying to say that because of confidentiality, the police couldn't prosecute the foster parent? Are you saying DHS refused to give the police the name of the foster parent so the police couldn't investigate? Or did they try to prosecute and nothing came of it? Your story raises more questions than it answers. How old was your son when this happened? How old was he when he died? (I'm very sorry about that, btw - I'm a mom, too).
How many children has your daughter had? How old is she?
What sort of wound did she have when she was attacked by the father? Did she go to the hospital? Was there an investigation? Why do you think they might think the wound was self inflicted? If it was a minor wound, why are you claiming it was attempted murder?
Where was your daughter living when she wasn't living with you or at the home?
Do you have anyone else living in the home?
Oh, and I am an Okie - thus the screen name. I am working out of state and can't wait to get back home, permanently (where I have a home). I certainly don't think Okies are stupid - I think they are wonderful.
