'When he died it never crossed my mind to think it was anything but an accident. Asked if either Mr or Mrs Macklin was under suspicion in either the younger boy's death or the older boy's disappearance, Chief Richard Borton declined comment. I got the message.'Īsked if the doctors who treated the Corcoran boy might have been derelict in their duty when it came to reporting either an incidence of child abuse or the actual cause of death, Borton said, 'They will have serious questions to answer when Mr Macklin comes to trial.'Įdward Corcoran, ten, was reported missing late Wednesday. He said a reprimand did not have to be on a teacher's record. I asked him if a reprimand in a matter like that would go on my record. I went to the principal and he told me to forget it or I would be reprimanded. She told me that when school employees get involved in cases of suspected child abuse, it always comes back to haunt the School Department at tax appropriation tune. I was told by the assistant principal, Gwendolyn Rayburn in those days, to stay out of it. The first few times I had a student with a parent who was confusing beatings with discipline, I tried to do something about it. When asked why she had not reported a beating of such obvious severity, Mrs Dumont said, 'This isn't the first time I've seen such a thing as this in my career as a teacher. TEACHER SAYS EDWARD CORCORAN 'OFTEN BRUISED' I pray that when he reads in the paper or hears on the news that Macklin has been locked up, Eddie will come home.' Mrs Dumont went on, 'Since this thing came out I get down on my knees every night and pray that Eddie Corcoran just got fed up with that beast of a stepfather and ran away.
