Another horror story of child neglect

Kid tries to sell teddy bear for food
This horror story of gross child neglect should not culminate in a banal moral condemnation of the misfit , incapacitated parents, Tammy and Michael Bethal. Why did the police discover the nightmare family residence before state social workers ? 

Many stories of child neglect and abuse point to the fragility of the nuclear family in the capitalist economic system. This " family " needs to evolve into a wider structure - where the fate of kids does not depend completely and precariously on the character and mental competence of the biological parents.
