While I agree that cps can take children away from loving parents .... and may sometimes get the facts twisted ..... seeing the way some children in low income and poverty levels are raised ... there are too many times where cps should have acted and didn’t.... the mother in the south Bronx that leaves her toddler home alone with rodents running around and sleeping on a bare mattress ... while she is out at the club or bar . I have seen this happen way too often ... when someone should have interjected and taken These poor children away from their unfit families .
I agree with what you said here.
I think there needs to be a fundamentally fair procedure, or something.
Maybe they should revamp some of their methods but they definitely something in place to protect the children that are in unhealthy homes .
How does this go unnoticed? I guess that's where i am at now.
It especially goes unnoticed when children aren’t in school yet bc they are sheltered.... and also when children are a little older and know how to cover up for their parents .... and even in low income areas where government and others who can make a difference don’t care to or aren’t exposed to it .
Appreciate your insights. Maybe will give me something to think on, a better solution.
I hope so .... I wish there was a clear cut answer ... a close friend of mine worked as a counselor in a high school in the south Bronx ... and the stories she would tell ... was sickening .... 6-7 kids under 15 living in a rat infested apt ... with one mattress up against the radiators with no sheets or blankets ..... freezing in the dead of winter ... or the step father that abused the kids but the kids were afraid of being taken away from the only family they knew ... it’s a scary world out there .
Send me a way to contact you ... and I’ll be more than happy to help.
