It is a twice a month thing as a matter of fact. <BR/><BR/>Why then do the press and the politicoes find this case so urgent and different?<BR/><BR/>In my opinion Bloomberg has just been re elected and contract talks are at a start with municipal employees. Were these two facts not in alignment, there would be no uproar about Nixzmary Brown....<BR/><BR/>??????????????????????<BR/>From Gotham Gazette during Giuliani time no, not the Daily News, not The New York Post, not any big media, because teflon was in effect><BR/><BR/><BR/>by Caroline Howard Guest Reporter<BR/>Children's Services<BR/>The agency whose job it is to keep the city's children safe, the Administration for Children's Services, is now a permanent agency, thanks to a charter proposal that the voters passed in November, after a six-year separation from the Human Resources Administration. <B>But Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta, widely hailed as the mastermind behind the agency's reinvention, is stepping down and his replacement has yet to be announced. <I>At the same time, as if to mock all their best intentions, tragically, at least six children under the age of seven have died recently, allegedly at the hands of their abusive parents.The list is a heartbreaking reminder of the agency's grave responsibility: Inez Bennett, 7, found dead in her family's Bronx apartment with a smashed jaw and hot water burns, cuts and bruises covering her body; Signifagance Oliver, 4, drowned in the bathtub by her mother in an exorcism ritual; Sylena Herrnkind, 3, beaten to death by her mother in the Staten Island home she shared with four siblings; Sidney Achan, 2, who died from multiple skull fractures and brain injuries; and Kyron Hamilton, 15 months, beaten to death by his mother who said the baby was bothering her while she watched television. A Brooklyn man was charged with second-degree murder in the death of De Andrew Monroe, the 15-month-old son of his girlfriend. According to police, the baby was shaken to death because he would not stop crying.</B></I><BR/>If the Administration for Children's Services is......<BR/><BR/>You won't remember any uproar in the press at that time because there was none. <BR/><BR/>I've got more on my blog for any who care to see......Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952273816595239919noreply@blogger.com
