This is becoming almost a daily situation... Another child dies at the hands of those responsible for insuring his/her safety and well being. So-called "child protective" "services" (CPS) in New York State is involved in another infanticide, and, apparently there will be an "investigation," but we all know how that usually goes. The death of 6-week-old Eli Ojeda is in the news...but not much is being said yet. Check out the link:

Here is an excerpt:
"A call for review of Cohoes Police and Rensselaer County CPS came from the Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin who sat down with CBS 6’s Anne McCloy on Friday.
'I had those same questions immediately,' McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin responded to our CBS 6 investigation from last week when Rensselaer County CPS said it could not respond to our questions regarding Anthony Ojeda, now charged in the death of his 6-week-old baby named Eli.
'Clearly there was a tragedy here and there's a lot of things we can’t say because of the ongoing investigation,' McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin tells us he does not suspect any misconduct at CPS, which falls under Rensselaer County Social Services, but he announced Thursday he's calling on the state to review the department's handling of the case."
That's pretty much it. The public is being told so little here that it immediately takes on the aura of natural suspicion that always seems to surround a CPS-involved murder. You have a County bureaucrat telling us that he doesn't believe that the agency that takes the largest line-item of his county budget is guilty of anything (of course,) even though he will be pushing for the State of New York to investigate the county's CPS.

We have law enforcement being coyly and immediately besmirched to the benefit of CPS. We have the now so-typical "we can't tell the people who pay our salaries anything" because it's "under investigation" (READ: under early-stage cover up planning and operation.) We have the cops being blamed when we all know who the far more likely culprit is.
We'll let this shady situation play out a bit more for now, and will let you know if we get any real answers in the future. In the mean time, my money is on CPS being the real culprit here, despite the stage-setting for blaming others taking place right off the bat here by the local MSM outlet.
