5 Children Beaten and Starved. What the Hell is happening. No more kids. I really think that people should have to go through a psychiatric workup before being allowed to have children today. I have never in my life seen such horror done to children. This has to stop now!! What do we have to do to end this Terror on Children. I hate thinking that Children are living in Terror but they are. NO PRO LIFE. NO PROLIFE. NO PROLIFE. PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE CHILDREN TODAY A judgment filed today with the Clark County Superior Court outlines a record-setting settlement reached between the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and five siblings who were beaten and starved for nearly a decade inside their Vancouver home at the hands of their parents. The state of Washington will pay the children a total of $9.75 million to settle a lawsuit filed on behalf of the children in 2013. The suit alleged that DSHS social workers and their supervisors did not follow state policy or law when they received dozens of warnings that the children (now between the ages of 13 and 19) were in harms way. I think the taxpayers should be upset when they hear a number like this ($9.75 million). The state is paying this amount because these kids deserve it. But the question is, how did we get to this point? There are caseworkers here who just simply arent doing their jobs. And if the state is allowed to just cover up these things by paying off settlements, DSHS is never going to learn, said plaintiffs attorney David P. Moody. The parents -- Sandra and Jeff Weller -- were sentenced last March to 20 years in prison each after being found guilty of 14 counts of abuse. Clark County Superior Court Judge Barbara Johnson, citing the severity of the crimes, leveled prison sentences that were double the standard penalty.
