So tragic...so tremendously sad. This occurred close to my home and with a little one with the same agency I work with. I'd link to the monster's FB page but I'm afraid the child pictured might be the little victim. In whose home was the baby scalded? Foster homes must have their water temps set far far less than a temp that can scald and that is checked at every licensing visit.
And the couple is connected to a doula service?? Oh my.
