Obviously, what Joyce's daughter may of may not have said was not found by Children's Services to be of any consequence, as no charges have ever been filed against Joyce Harris.
HOWEVER, the charges against Cheryl, which are multiple, with multiple children, were found to be credible enough that Cheryl has been formally, criminally charged.
Now, I see a big difference -- a real big difference.
There are witnesses to Cheryl throwing or pushing, at least, two boys down stairs, on two different occasions. These incidents are only two of many.
I will ask again, why would anyone keep or put their child in a facility, with these charges being brought against the owner? Why take a chance with your child's welfare? It seems to me the smart thing to do would be safe than sorry. Better to error on the side of caution.
