[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:59 again.  I've been thinking a lot about blame, listening to this podcast.  And thinking about the person a few pages back who kept asking why this was in the DCPS forum.

I thought this at the time, and I still think this now: of all involved, DPSC seems the least blameless to me, but seems to have absorbed a higher percentage of blame.

But blame is a hard thing to pin down.  Clearly Tatum deserves the blame.  And I think Relisha's mom deserves a large share of blame.

But then where do you go in terms of defining what made Relisha's mom that way she is, what pressures were on her from her own upbringing, having too many kids too young, the shelter breaking all their rules (hiring Tatum to begin with), etc.  I don't know.  [/quote]

Yes, AND I can’t help but think...

I’d someone at the school had just ASKED Relisha what was going on. “Hey, Relisha, I noticed you missed school. Is everything OK? Tell me about it? You saw the Dr? Which hospital?”

Someone at the school or the shelter could possibly have prevented this. It doesn’t mean they we to blame. Well, maybe whoever hired Tatum and looked the other way when he broke the rules repeatedly by fraternizing. [/quote]
