To start, my heart goes out to the poor girl who unfortunately had to face that abuse. I may be wrong, but I feel that Janet is wrong as a person and mother of this child. As for Janet the director of San Benito County’s Child Protection Services, if you work with children every day and for their protection how can you be aware what is happening to your own child and your own flesh and blood and not report it. What kind of mother despite her career,can know that their child is being abused in such a way and no do anything about it. The law has been broken in this situation on many different degrees both factual and moral. I think that not only should Gerald face time, but so should Janet for not helping her poor child.
