Neglected boy shut in room with heater on dies of hyperthermia

Gunce • Head of research at Glow. Unwilling infertility expert. 2 kids after 6 IVF treatments.

This. This makes me so sad and so furious.

And to think after letting one child essentially cook to death, she is pregnant with another! I honestly do not know what the solution is: Better education, better rehab centers, more access to health care, more involvement by CPS....but whatever it is, I do know that we have, as a society, failed that poor little boy. 

What do you think should be done in situations like this? Before and after? And especially now, with the baby she is carrying?
