The thing is, if you’ve not actually seen it happen you wouldn’t just assume that your child had broken ribs or a fractured skull etc. If they were being irritable or acting off (especially as an inexperienced parent) you’d probably think they were just tired, maybe coming down with something, maybe going through a phase. If all these injuries occurred with SB (after FS saw Star bump her head on the bed or the coffee table) then I can kind of see why she didn’t investigate further in regards to the bruises. The limp/fractured leg doesn’t look right, the amount of times she referred to it over the months and never got it seen is hard to justify but again lacking that maternal instinct, having someone seemingly more experienced than you telling you nothing’s wrong. It’s absolutely terrible, but I can still believe it wasn’t sinister. It seems all she is saying is “I don’t know” or “cos savannah said” which sounds like she’s just passing the blame but based on all the evidence so far I really do think that’s all she’s got.
