    Details to be aware of: Everybody knew there was a problem when this man was still in elementary school. He reported that food was withheld from him. Teachers would bring food for him to school. CPS was called 20 times. He’d been ordered to tell them that everything was fine. Then he just stopped coming to school. Everybody knew there was a problem. Nothing was done.

      You can’t say nothing was done when so many people tried. He was let down by government agencies. Those are the people who need to be strung up.

      I hope he sues for the last 20 years of collective dental and medical. Also existing medical. And then on top of that, all the pain and suffering. That poor man. 20 years of abuse and neglect.
