It is just weird that the visits were not reverted to visitations at a center after the last court date- just as a precaution.

I absolutely agree with you.

Something that I have also been thinking about (and have seen back when I worked in agencies) is the possibility of race being part of why the justice system was not paying attention to red flags with this guy. He was white, educated, well groomed and had no prior record. He did, however have flat affect (saw his interviews last year on the first dateline episode about him).In fact, my guess is if he were a POC, the psych eval would have been required prior to supervised, on site visits. I have seen this far too many times to not wonder about it- and stats demonstrate how white's are far more often given visitation in the child welfare system.

Interesting. Very. I have never worked in the child welfare system, so I have no sense of this. What studies are you referring to? Percentage of POC versus caucasian who had to take psych evals prior to visitation? Or what do you mean when you say caucasians are given visitation more often? I am not asking for a specific study (of course!)
