Yes it's digusting abuse. He will now no longer have all of his adult teeth, when teeth decay to that extent they usually go in and also decay the permanent teeth. It coudl very well be that he won't be able to keep his permanent teeth due to the decay and will never have normal teeth, not to mention the pain with teeth like that is excruciating! I've had one cavity and it was HORRID. This could also have given him a system-wide illness and even given him heart damage from the infections in his mouth. Why do you think they said he would have needed to be in the hospital in six months?? It is digusting and lazy and damn straight he should have been placed with people who will give him proper care. If she can learn not to be so damn negligent then fine, but until then he needs better care. Foster care SUCKS, but she is unfit at present. There is no excuse, there are free clinics, Medicaid, etc etc etc .
