I hope that doesn't actually surprise you...it shouldn't
Social services are typically overwhelmed and taking four children out of a home is just going to cause the social worker some serious headaches...
It should not be up to strangers!!
It should be up to kin and friends.
My grandfather on mom’s side was a brutally cruel mafioso father. To be honest though, there’s no real correlation.
I’ve known Many gangsters who treat their kids like gold. Too much!!
Anyway, so my uncle Harry (WWI suicide squad) went after him with a gun for beating my grandmother. That helped a lot more than any Social worker could have.
