I am sorry but ignoring a problem because you are afraid that you will lose your kids to cps is abuse and very self centered. My guess is that you would be screaming bloody murder if you had dislocated your shoulder at work and the place you worked at refused to send you to the Dr because they were afraid of a workmen’s comp claim and a visit by osha.
“I am sorry but ignoring a problem because you are afraid that you will lose your kids to cps is abuse and very self centered.”
Not really...it was actually centered on the TRAUMA that my kid would have gone through if he spent weeks away from his parents. As an adult basically in control of my life, it would not be such a big deal for me (other than being worried sick for my kid), but with a kid, it is literally THE END OF THE WORLD.
So yes, a few hours of screaming on his part still is better on him than the alternative.
It is outrageous that you stand in judgement of a parent doing what he thinks is best for his child.
His child was not ripped from his parents by the state monsters - so in that alone he is justified.
Your attitude, that you know better, is EXACTLY the attitude that has caused this abhorrent situation.
YOU DO NOT KNOW BETTER THAN MOST PARENTS MOST OF THE TIME - NOR...DOES...THE...STATE!
If you, and the state, approached situations with the humility to recognize that you can be very wrong, and the attitude that MOST parents are trying to do the very best for their children, you more often will be far closer to the truth than otherwise.
Instead of assuming the parents are loving, and concerned about the well-being of their child, you and the state assume the parents, at best, are stupid and self-centered and the children MUST have your advocacy or suffer. The arrogance is staggering, the assumption more often wrong than right, and innocent children, loving parents and nurturing families are needlessly traumatized because of it.
