I met one little girl (aged 7) whose Mother used to get her to inject heroin in to her veins (into the Mothers veins). Childhood is supposed to be a happy, carefree time, but these children are neglected to the point where it is almost as though they don't exist. And yet, it is very, very rare that these children are ever put into care.
What do you expect - Roaming herds of social workers traipsing the streets in search of unattended children? Unless somebody gives them a call to let them know, I can't see how you could reasonably expect the authorities to act in scenarios like the one you describe.No sign of "the authorities" in this case...
There is no valid comparison. It is not a case of either/or. The resources used to address the O'Hara family would not have otherwise been used to chase families around inner-city Dublin. Note that I'm not defending what happened to the O'Hara family - I just don't see the relevance of the example you gave. We might as well complain about the politicians spending money travelling round the world for Paddy's Day instead of chasing families around inner-city Dublin.especially given that they can muster resources to raid a private home in small town and take children away from their parents in another case.
