Your same rant was answered here:

You didn't respond to it there, so I'll repost it here (credit to miner89)

After some quick searching on the internet I found the follwing facts (some from the first article you listed)

1. After 5 year old Riya Wilson was discovered to be missing, Gov. Bush ordered the department to see ALL children in the agency. This apparently lead to the list of "1,000" missing children

2. 401 were runaways. Do you think that Gov. Bush is responsible for preventing teen runaways? And that children's services should prevent all runaways?

3. 135 were taken by non-custodial relatives. Doesn't that make it a law enforcement issue and do you really expect DCS to prevent every divorced parent from EVER taking a kid?

4. 421 were placed in OTHER STATES, and the OTHER STATES caseworkers had not checked them. Is it your position that Gov. Bush is now responsible for child care in all 50 states?

5. Gov. Bush signed new legislation strengthening requirements for caseworkers to report timely and accurately on child visits, including penalties for falsifying forms.

6. Gov. Bush set up a Blue - Ribbon panel to review the states child care system and make recommendations for further improvement.

Guess all that is nothing huh? I notice all you do is quote one liberal who is not satisfied with anything.

Since you did not respond, I suspect you may really have a different (fallacious) Gorebone to pick:

He saved Florida's electorial votes for his brother…

Perhaps you would prefer Reno so you could find missing children by following the smoke.

After all, you're only concerned "for the children."

An excellent. well thought out response. Unless we have disruptors trying to stir it up, this should calm the seas.
Thank you for taking the time to present facts to refute the "feelings". zip

That'll fix the problem, that will round up the missing children. Sheeze, Sounds like the actions of a democrat, pass some laws to make people obey already existing rules.

And finally, I REPEAT, JEB Praised this person who resigned, even though long ago the states clamored for this, but Jeb wouldn't have it, he protected this person.
