#only for the bastards to take one sweeping glance at the apartment and go “welp… looks fine to me!”

If watching true crime has taught me anything; it’s that the criminal justice system very often does jack shit about obvious cases of child abuse, and only takes it seriously after the parents kill the child.

#It’s disgusting how literally dozens of people all living in the same apartment complex can all make the same reports #about the same apartment for the same reason (extremely loud sounds of child abuse) #and neighbors can even make RECORDINGS OF THE CHILD’S AGONIZED SCREAMING to give to the cops #only for the bastards to take one sweeping glance at the apartment and go “welp… looks fine to me!” #death tw #child abuse tw #For the record: I’m specifically interested in crimes against children because I work with kids #When I am at work; I view them as my own babies #I’m extremely protective of them; so I want to know how bystanders and the system failed other kids so I don’t make the same mistakes #I want to know what abuse looks like from every angle conceivable to mankind #I want to be prepared to Handle Shit if I have to. #Which is why I’m constantly vigilant not only about the kids in the playground; but also the area outside the playground #Every few minutes I do a visual sweep of the area outside the fence to make sure no one’s there #If I see someone; I watch them like a hawk and make it clear with my body language that I am watching them just as much as the kids #even if they’re not that close to the fence
