Poor girl. I hope she survives.

I don't understand how people can sit by when their child wastes away like that. Unconscionable.

Right here....couple on trial for allowing their 2 yoa child to suffer and eventually die from scalding water 2ed and 3rd degree burns covering 35-40% of his body.....State going for death penalty....why even wait?...

Horrible.

I have to ask where are the other family members or neighbors who ignore some of these things? These non-parents should be "fixed" so they can't even accidentally breed again if and when they get of prison.

The Humanium (Help the Children) website gives Venezuela a moderate grade related to the treatment of children... so, it is not abysmal.  However, they say:

Quote :

Venezuelan police are not always protective of the children they encounter. In fact, when faced with children who are not always aware of their actions, the police officers often resort to violence or other inadequate means.

The Venezuelan justice system is also greatly suspect: torture, illegal execution and forced disappearances are commonplace.  Not even minors are spared from the shocking conditions of detainees, often being subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment.

In this way, the police and judicial protection to which children are entitled are regularly overridden, going against the principles posed by the CRC.

CRC is the International Convention on the Rights of the Child is a treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989.

The stench from gangrene and rotting tissue is the worst smell ever.
