Child Safety and Justice FAIL!

A FATHER who shook his infant so hard he fractured its skull will tuck that same child into bed tonight after he walked free from court. ... The child was released from hospital in June 2012 into the care of his maternal grandmother, but just 18 months later he was back with his parents as the Department of Child Safety had no further concerns. Police charged the pair in relation to the injuries in April 2014, but the child still remained in their care. Today in Maroochydore District Court the father pleaded guilty to single counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and grievous bodily harm - while the mother pleaded guilty to cruelty to a child under 16. The basis of her charge was that she failed to notify the infant's doctor of the injuries and failed to prevent further "non-accidental" harm even upon seeing the bruises.
