David Eastman, a Republican lawmaker in Alaska, suggested during a round of expert questioning that 'it's actually a cost-saving because that child is not going to need any of those government services that they might otherwise be entitled to receive' if a child dies.
A politician in Alaska's state house who suggested children dying from abuse could be good for public finances, has been censured by his colleagues.
Expert witnesses were testifying about the long-term harm child abuse has to the economy, to the workforce and to taxpayers, when children who face abuse, and the adults they grow up to be, rely on the government. He asked one expert:"How would you respond to the argument that I have heard on occasion where, in the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it's not good for the child, but it's actually a benefit to society because there aren't needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of that child's life?"
