In response to the comment above, take your own advice regarding “If you judge…”. You do not know the details and no one “allowed” a child to die. It was a tragedy that cannot be blamed on the social worker. Social workers do the best they can with the resources they are given.

What Dr. Gerald did is not worse than allowing a child to die.

What he did WAS WRONG. He was responsible for the patient’s welfare. He crossed a boundary he should have NEVER crossed.

But that is not comparable to allowing a child to die.

If you judge your brother, be careful, lest you, too fall.

Pathetic! Agree with the previous comment - how can Fenty fire social workers for poor performance and then hire someone as head of the agencey who arguably has done something much worse.

Please note that the court appeal was not done by Mr. Gerald, but by his former employer. As I understand the matter, Mr. Gerald did not hide from his responsibility in the matter and he handled his part of the suit w/o conflict.
