DS is on the forum nearly everyday and could have replied at anytime if he choose to do so, I believe he must have a good reason for not doing so and It might be time to respect his decision for not saying anything further as it is a very serious topic.
People who live around him probably know he's a brewer and if they ever looked up this forum and recognized him as the author it might create a situation that go's down a path he doesn't want it too. When he first posted he would have been on the spot and very upset and maybe thought asking for guidance here was a good idea. I myself don't think it was, but it was understandable. Maybe we should now let this thread die peacefully and just take away the message how important it is to always keep a focused eye on our children's welfare as they grow up.
