What is it with grandparents starving and mistreating their grandkids these days? We have Jeffrey Baldwin from 10 years ago that we just heard about who died weighing just 21 pounds. Now we have another in Saskatchewan who was kept in a windowless room with a cement floor in the home of her grandparents near Regina.

It seems to me that family services does its best work when trying to break up solid good happy families. Otherwise, they are out of sight and out of mind, apparently.

Stories like this are absolutely heart-wrenching. It's hard to think about without that feeling of utterly deep crippling sadness.

This is where I find myself appreciating you. You have a heart.

Myself, I want to find the grandparents and strangle them with their own intestines.

The policy at fault is "family reunification".

Problem with that policy is some families aren't fit for children. This child never should have been given to the grandparents.
