I didn't see that in the story or the video, but even it it's true that social services were called, preventing murder isn't a fair charge against them. This is a tragedy, and the husband/father and his wife and their son were the murderers, tried, convicted and sentenced. No government agency is responsible for preventing murder, not social services, not the police, none of them. I know your comment is dripping sarcasm. It just chaps me. There's little defense for children with sane (or insane) parents bent on harming their kids.
