This was an SVU story I could truly identify with. As a former investigator at the
New York State Crime Victims Board I saw in my own agency this relentless pursuit of numbers and statistics.. Close your claims and whether the crime victim
clients were serviced was definitely taking second place.
A young pre-school kid is found wandering the streets and when they find out who he is, Mariska Hargitay finds the older sister locked in a cage and nearly starved to death in their apartment and the child dies in hospital. After that it becomes a personal crusade.
At the Department of Social Services indictments come down on John Magaro, Whoopi Goldberg, and Josh Marcentel.
Whoopi Goldberg is the high point of the episode with her scene in the witness box with ADA Raul Esparza. Guilty as she was I can truly sympathize with her.
