Meow, forget about the school. They are just as terrified of CPS, not to mention, in Kahoots with them. And I'm a foster parent, so take it from me. The people WHO SHOULD NOT get their kids back do, often-times by the Judge (Or so CPS says, even though I think the judges go on their recommendations). Then the kids end up back in the system, and/or dead, abused, neglected, while the parents who are not doing anything, well ...they end up with their kids in the system for a long time, or whatever. So the ONLY reason I do foster care, is because I love the kids, and my 18 year old daughter on her death bed, when asked what we should do to remember her, was told to help other children less fortunate. So here we are~! Because of confidentiality issues, I cannot state "specific names, cases", but let me leave you with a story;
There were two kids placed in the system, ages 2 and 4. They had been "working" with the mother/father since the oldest was a baby. Both were alcoholic/drug addicts, and both children suffered a lot of harm because of it. Anyway, the children were FINALLY temporarily removed, and placed with a great foster family, who tried to help the parent/s out and get them back in line. The mother was 7 months pregnant and going for a Cleansing of her system once a week because she was full of Soma Compound, Heroin, and other pain killers, such as lortabs, etc. You get the pic! Her boyfriend was supposed to take a drug test as well since he lived with her, but he refused and nobody made him do it. Dad lived with his girl (nice girl btw), she had a child, and one with him), but he was also into drugs, etc. Long story short, kids were sent returned to mom after six weeks, baby born prematurely, addicted of course), next thing foster parents know, all three kids back in care with another foster family within 60 days after being returned.
Wait...it gets better;
Current foster family dad is only interested in baby, so keeps bothering the SW that he can't handle the two older kids. So...out of desperation (I'm guessing here), the SW goes back to court, and the two oldest end up with dad (ages 4 and 5 by the way). Stayed with dad all of 6 weeks, and the youngest dies. Supposedly he was playing in a crib and toppled over onto his head. Ambulance called, kid in coma, fly to another hospital. Never wakes up. Autopsy says; broken hip, broken neck, etc., Can't reveal what else, cause...well you know confidentiality and someone could figure it out I guess.
Anyway, someone please tell me HOW a 4 year old can fall from a crib and get that many injuries, not to mention a broken neck. When my kids were little they fell from climbing on bunk beds, maybe a bruise or too, but please! Anyhow nothing has come of it that I heard, and I think it probably hasn't because the judge and social services does not want to be involved because they were the ones who GAVE THEM BACK TO THE PARENTS. Anybody agree???
I hope this will even open everybody eyes further. BTW, whoever does not watch the Wednesday Night Series "Justified" , start watching it. It must be a true story.
