Anyone Listen to 1332 3SH At About 8:30? Disgusting!

[BradZ]

On the way home today, was listenting to 1332 3SH and a particular story come on which interested me, so i started listening and this is what i got.

A 9yr old disabled boy was found alone at a lake by himself at 9pm last night. After a lady found him she alerted the police, and the DHS (Department Of Human Services) and found out the child was supposed to be under the care of DHS in that area. The police came and found the child who was extremely distressed so they made several attempts to contact the DHS with no luck. After time had passed and the child had gotten even more distressed, they got in contact with the nominated carer.

They let the person know what had happened, the person (whom was obviously well aware) was then asked by the cops to take the child home, they replied with, "Oh, but its knock off time, you can take him". So the child was delivered home by the police safe and sound. The police then contacted that carer again to get information on what had happened. They discovered that the child had been part of an excursion earlier that day and after he become frightened and ran off, the carer called their supervisor who said plainly " Leave him there". So they did.

I for one find this to be absolutely disgusting, that carer and the supervisor need to be punished severly, possibly even charged with some form of child abuse. I for one would not be leaving my goldfish in the hands of these people.

EDIT: To make matters worse, the supervisor said that area was too dangerous for staff to be around at night because of crime, so they decided they should just leave the child there!
