Ella Vitalis, 1, died from cardiac arrest while police said he suffered a blunt force injury to her head while with her parents.
In ‘Blind Side’ spat, race-obsessed media went wildly wrongwas only three weeks old when her parents brought her to the hospital with two broken ankles, a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage.
While ACS and other child-welfare agencies reasonably take much blame for child fatalities when the children are known to the system — agency workers are responsible for keeping tabs on what is going on in the home after families are reported for abuse or neglect — judges ultimately decide if and when a child should be removed from her family and whether she should be returned.
You see, Pitchal understands what kids like Vitalis were experiencing because when he was 11 his parents went through a contentious divorce and he felt like his own lawyer didn’t listen to his concerns. And he proudly notes that when he followed this path, “I discovered that I was regularly fighting to get kids who were already in foster care out, and to prevent those who were not yet there from going in.”
“The parents asked for the child to be returned from care. . . I had no idea what happened to my client.”Pitchal regularly cites NYU law professor Martin Guggenheim, who argued that child protective services regularly take children away from their families unnecessarily, and for reasons that usually boiled down to poverty — an idea for which there is scant compelling evidence.
“Around the world,” Pitchal muses, “children are active participants in youth assemblies, school advisory councils, and other quasi-legislative arenas, helping adults decide matters of direct importance to young people.”
