Previous injuries.... after they'd adopted the girl?

Re-read my post.

The way he's treated this little girl might be the first incident of him ever doing something like this. Hence his partner maybe not suspecting him (although I always question cases like this where they live in the same house bringing a child up together but whatever) and also hence him passing all of the adoption procedures.
