I will wait before passing judgement on this one until some actual information comes out rather than vague ambiguities and inuendo.
Poorly written article with too little substance.
The press is fading away for more reasons than just their bias. They are also lazy and incompetent.
One of the missions of Social Services is to equalize the percentages of white and black children taken from homes. So we have white children removed from mostly stable home environments simply to ‘even out the numbers.’
Before we adopted her, our daughter spent 11 months in foster care. They were wonderful people. But there are evil people out there for whom it’s just a paycheck.
What a sweet looking child she was. While there are undoubtedly many good foster parents, there are some evil ones who are basically in it solely for the money the state gives them. This little girl found herself placed by negligent state employees into a dysfunctional foster home. The foster parent or parent needs to be prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned for causing the death of this child.
I don’t approve of smoking dope, but that alone is no reason to remove a child from their parents.
Texas might as well open up the checkbook now, because it is going to get expensive.
If child abuse/neglect was treated as an actual crime, the parents would have been punished with fine or jail time. Child stays at home, lesson learned -— 90% of the time. Foster care would be reserved for those few truly needy cases.
Normally, you can find out a lot by “following the money.” Does a foster mother/father get paid? Sure.
Who makes the placement decision? Start there to see if there is a felonious relationship btwn the foster mother/father and someone in government.
To bad CPS people have the strongest sort of immunity there is.
Another very sad sad part of this affair (other than the child dying) is that these very CPS people who took the child, and the ones who the father complained too probably feel like they did the best job they could and none of it is their fault. The judge who signed the original order taking the kids probably doesn’t even know her eventual fate. They’ll just keep auto signing warrants and orders as they cross their desk.
I would be curious to know how the child welfare people came to know this.
In my experience it is usually a spiteful act on someone’s part. Anonymous tips to child welfare are often the initiating point of investigations in to “neglectful” parents.
All the while, there is an admitted pot smoker squatting in public housing at 1600 Penn'a Ave, W DC.
It ain't so much whatcha do as who does it.
