It’s not business as usual, anywhere.

And people will fall through the cracks.

Under the circumstances, what would you do?

Orders not to go visit your family members who do not live with you? Blank your elderly family members living all alone? Yes, you can call but what if they do not answer their phones? That has happened with my daughter when I have texted her asking for a video chat with my grandkids in NY? Where did my Autistic grandson get that bruise on his face? Their divorce has been put on hold in the courts, and police have been called twice for domestic violence.

I am more concerned about the welfare of CHILDREN, especially my own grandkids, than I am about YOU strangers getting Cornoavirus. Sorry but FAMILY comes first. Throw Selfish Granny in Jail for non-compliance.

As a former social worker it’s sad about the kids. However, we cannot sacrifice a large percentage of the population just to be more available for child abuse. People that suspect abuse should call it in.

Lord help these little ones. I had some very dark thought on wife beaters - as I heard spouse abuse has increased dramatically. And with no employment, no booze or drugs, some of these maniacs are going to go ballistic. Not sure how much more the police can handle, thing are not good.
