The recent case of Banita M. Jacks having murdered her four children is sad. Several newspapers have claimed it proved homeschooled needs to be regulated.
Dr. Helen responds with What's Homeschooling got to do with it? She writes
"Sorry, I don't buy this, kids fall through the cracks at school everyday (they even get abused in DCS custody!) and the D.C. case had little to do with homeschooling and more to do with finding an excuse to keep the police out of the house."
Kate makes a similar point in Mother’s Abuse Brings Scrutiny To Homeschooling.
It turns out that the government failed these four children. The D.C. Mayor is going to fire 6 social workers.
We don't need more laws. An infinite number of laws will not stop stupid, crazy, or evil people come committing crimes.
This was not a result of "homeschooling" needing more oversite. This tragic event is the result of a crazy woman doing unthinkable things to her own children.
