Who's to blame?
Many say the Department of Social Services. But the DSS head says they did "absolutely nothing wrong." Even Haleigh's doctors were fooled into believing her wounds were self-inflicted, he says.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-life advocates have created a new political action committee that will support lawmakers who backed Terri Schiavo and her family's efforts to prevent her euthanasia death. The group is also meant to counter a political action committee set up by Terri's former husband, who won a legal battle to take her life.

Bureaucrats never do anything wrong. Ever. Trust me. You do believe me, don't you? Please...!
Mainly what bureaucrats do is follow their own book of rules dictated by the legislature or congress that brought them into being. These rules have no relation to reality. It is not possible to frame fixed government rules in tune with changing human action and belief. The rules always slip further and further from being true or helpful. The result is that the very word "bureaucracy" is in the dictionary as slow, menacing, idiotic, wasteful, expensive, obstructionist, unresponsive and draped in red tape.
We must stop consigning children to a bureaucracy. They will be devoured.
I unleashed on a CPS worker a couple of years ago. I asked her why she was doing my ex husband's dirty work instead of caring for children who actually were at risk. I cited my civil and constitutional rights, and she literally was speechless. That one, like the others were closed.
I found out later that my ex's new wife (we met once at my son's middle school graduation), used the standard language from the directives for mandated reporters, to accuse me of neglect. I could have her prosecuted, but right now she's the only person between my baby and her father.
