Hello, all!! Long time lurker, registered user, but first time commenting. I must admit, the rules are a bit intimidating, so much so I read every post about Lucas Hernandez (over 6 months) but was afraid I’d break a rule. Lol.
I’m a Texan and this case has weighed heavily on my heart from day 1. I’m also a pediatric speech therapist, who knows a little about the brain. Someone above mentioned MH not wearing her helmet and that’s been a HUGE deal for me. I’ve looked for her helmet in every single pic I’ve seen, outside of the ones taken at the hospital, I’ve not seen ONE! In the CPS docs it states she should wear it 12-24 months, yet not one bit of evidence it was worn outside of the hospital. That, in itself, constitutes neglect of medical services and had I encountered her not wearing it, I would’ve lit the keyboard up filing a complaint with CPS.
As for those of you struggling with the lack of basic parenting by apparently every adult in her life, you will NEVER understand it. You all are good parents and incapable of understanding the life some children have to live. I spent the first 2-3 years of my career, as a therapist, in shock and disgust. I think in most cases, it a generational cycle that probably goes back longer than I care to know. Please don’t take this as an excuse or justification of anyone’s actions against MH. I’m just sharing insight from my personal experience. MH deserved everything in the world and a safe encouraging family safety net, but she got a few as&ho$es instead..which breaks my heart!
#EnoughIsEnough and we ALL have to do our part to make that message clear.
**for those of you discussing what the gas cab could’ve been used for....something that burns quick, unlike human remains. The rain in that area has been pretty constantly falling for at least a week. Obviously there have been breaks in rainfall, but about the time the ground starts to dry up, it rains more. MOO I think he probably burned evidence of the cleanup etc. I’m not sure why he didn’t torch that laundry basket, but his level of intelligence has been questioned from the onset.
