Clearly, this is about the most traumatic event a child can experience. Children are resilient and, placed in a warm and nurturing environment where they feel safe and secure and given the appropriate therapy, and it can be very long-term, they can respond. |
I think what happens in a case like this one, it really touches a nerve with people and they respond. All of the sudden, we all start to think about a child we've had some suspicions about. |
It's critical that he is placed in a loving environment and he can reclaim the safety and security that obviously he lost in witnessing such a tragedy. |
