Yet, DCF is quick to take children away from spanking parents. What gives?

No examination of serious systemic deaths?

What a horrible way to die. A young teen, expiring on the floor of a jail,
while the Nurse, sworn to protect him--declines to examine him.

Unconscionable.

Subject: Dying Miami Teen Ignored in Jail

A supervisor at a juvenile jail told a dying teen to "suck it up" as the boy
retched, wept and moaned from stomach pain, The Miami Herald reported Friday.
"Ain't nothing wrong with his ass," one nurse said, according to seven boxes
of documents examined by the newspaper.Loperfido visited him that afternoon
and diagnosed him with a stomach virus, the documents say. Guards say they
never saw her touch his abdomen for signs of appendicitis. More than two hours
later, Mixon again called Demeritte, who asked him what was wrong with
Paisley."How in the hell (should) I know?" he says he replied. "All I know is
something is wrong with him. And she stated, 'I'm coming down there, but I
don't want to take this (mess) home to my kid.'"
Demeritte arrived about 10 minutes later and made Paisley walk out of his
cell, even though he barely
had the strength to stand, Mixon said.
She took his temperature and then said: "Ain't nothing wrong with his ass. Let
his ass go back in the room,"
according to Mixon. Then she left. After Demeritte spoke to a supervisor, she
completed paperwork to transfer Paisley to the hospital. She then went on a
45-minute break.
When guards and supervisors came to get Paisley, they found him slumped in a
chair. They tried to stir
him. When they picked him up, brown, foul-smelling fluids drained from his
body.
By the time paramedics arrived, Paisley was dead.

From the name and the way she talked, one of them sounds like a Haitian bitch.
The other one, who knows, just another Florida criminal justice nazi.
