Thing That Never Happens So How Dare You Mention It, happened (Preston Davey child death)

Straights can be monsters too, so this item is not too LGBT-specific.
Why post it then? LGBT adoption angle. When LGBT are turned down for adoption, it is not always homophobia.
Standards. We should DEF exclude some people.
"UK gay couple found guilty of killing, sexually abusing 13-month-old boy they sought to adopt"
Former teacher Jamie Varley was found guilty at Preston Crown Court of murder, child cruelty, sexual offences, and possessing indecent images relating to [13 month old Preston Davey]. Varley was in the process of adopting the toddler with his partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, who was also convicted of allowing the death of a child, child cruelty, and sexual assault, per the Crown Prosecution Service.
Just four months after being placed with the couple, Preston was rushed to Blackpool Victoria Hospital unconscious and in cardiac arrest. He could not be saved. Varley claimed the child had drowned in the bath, but prosecutors proved that his airway had been deliberately obstructed, per the BBC.
DCI Andy Fellows of Lancashire Police, who led the investigation, described Varley as a “serial manipulator and a serial liar.”
The prosecution's case against Varley was built on evidence, including indecent images found on his phone, taken by the perpetrators of the victim, as well as the post-mortem examination, which ruled out the defendants’ claims of drowning as the cause of death. The post-mortem found 40 external and internal injuries to Davey’s body, some being consistent with "forcible penetration" and sexual abuse.
