I've been following the horrifying case of Banita Jacks, who apparently murdered her four children back in May, and then let the bodies decompose in her SE Washington townhouse while spiraling downward. The bodies were not discovered until she was being evicted.
There is a lot of discussion about failures by various D.C. agencies, but what about personal and family responsibility? Apparently there were three rows of family members sitting in the courtroom when Ms. Jacks was arraigned earlier this week. They should be ashamed to show their faces in public. Was there not one family member who could have checked on those children, and insisted on checking on them, to the point of breaking down Ms. Jacks' door?
