The Irish state police child protection service found a Dublin girl with skin infections living in inhumane conditions and rushed her to hospital, publishes the Child Care Law Reporting Project (CCLRP). This case, along with 48 more, questions if the lack of teacher supervision makes vulnerable children ever more exposed to neglection.
The court would carry out assessments and place such children in interim care so that they could be provided necessary care. At the same time, parents are denied to be given therapies that would help to recover from their addictions and mental health issues so that they could be reunited with their children. Many of them in care have deprived contact with their parents as access to it is delayed. Meeting in person is almost impossible since foster parents are concerned about the coronavirus. The ongoing pandemic makes it even harder for these children to be reunited with their families soon.
A half-orphan girl with a relapsing alcoholic and drug addict mother, who abused and neglected her, was granted a one-year care order. The threshold was extended for another year with a review after six months before its expiry. The judge did not allow the girl's social worker to be cross-examined by the mother's barrister.
