Has anyone else been following the curious case of Ke'shaun Vanderhorst? I recently came across the fact that the social worker involved with the family had closed the file just a month before he disappeared, thinking everything was okay. Knowing what happened later, doesn't this seem like a major oversight? It makes me wonder if protocols for cases like this have changed since the '90s. How soon is too soon for ending supervision? If only more consistent checks were in place, maybe things could've turned out differently for Ke'shaun. What do you all think about the role of social services in such situations?

Hey everyone, I've been reading through the threads about Ke'shaun Bryant Vanderhorst, and something that keeps circling my mind is the role of the social services system in this tragic case. I understand they closed their file just a month before Ke'shaun was last seen, thinking the family no longer needed supervision. How does that even happen? I know hindsight is 20/20, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the criteria they used to make that decision. It makes me wonder if there were any signs overlooked or if resources were stretched too thin back then. Has anyone else come across similar cases where social services dropped the ball, so to speak? It's just so frustrating thinking that a little more vigilance could have made a difference. Thoughts?
