It really is baffling. It's a no brainer, the child should be heard by the services around him. Children's voices matter, and if this is being done for him why does nobody care what he wants?

Cps often just want to close the case and move on. If something happens on an open case, that's an issue...but if your case is shut and you can justify the close, it's less risky. Abusers have an amazing ability to manipulate people and agencies to keep in control and torture people.

The whole thing is shit and none of it is fair.
