do not judge, least ye be judged!
Quote From: pearamedicI've notice its the people who accuse and dictate to everyone else how to parent their kids who have the most annoying, rude, back talking brats. Child welfare worries about some of the dumbest things. Child welfare should be a form of government that I believe should be banned.
My daughter was bitten at the daycare. Child welfare NEVER investigated it. The police department was the only people who gave a crap and investigated it. They investigated the bite nothing but the bite. Didn't do a home inspection, didn't invade our privacy (not that they would have found anything if they had). But the police did a better job and cared more then Child Welfare could ever have a concept of doing. Or should I say, Child-We-Really-Don't-Care-About-Their-Welfare.
So I say let's get rid of case workers who think they're better then everyone and above the law and place chldren in abusive foster homes. Let's get rid of child welfare and use our police who are real trained professionals. Also to the parents, grandparents, and everyone who have to worry about how others raise their kids. While your watching my kids your kids are committing the crimes you complain about and leaving you grandkids to raise. You cannot judge all child welfare people in the same category, nor can you honestly believe that the agency has not helped more then it has hindered. The fact is you HEAR all about the screw- ups but little about the successes. Let me tell you a story that inspired me to go back to school to make a change, and put myself in the shoes of a caseworker.
I am a Married mother of seven, and I feel I did nothing wrong(NOTHING) and I had my children ripped from me placed into foster care and was not even allowed to return to my own home. my children were taken from me for a year( they were placed with their fathers, two of whom were my husbands children and we lived in the same home which i was not allowed to return to. you know what I did, I let my 15 year old daughter and 11 year old son babysit for and hour and a half. while I was out getting sponsors for a community day to rid our neighborhood of drugs and violence, the neighbors boy walked across the field to McDonald's when she walked into the house for a minute, a police officer picked him up and took five of my children( the other two are adults and not in the home.) to the children services. I did everything they ask me to do(everything) and every time I finished what they asked me to do, I was told to do something else, family counseling, in home counseling, family circle, one parenting class( i took three) , individual counseling,and stair steps for toddlers,. all of the people that I had to be involved with were confused as to why I did not have my children, why they were taken, or why I was not getting them back. when I was at my wits end I called the news channel, when they questioned the children services, they threatened me to keep my mouth shut or they could place them back in foster care. there is much more to the story that if you want to hear e-mail me at bsrossman@thewavz.com and I'll tell you the whole story, but instead of crying about a situation I could not change I went back to school to gain my degree in human services and a masters in social psychology, so that I can make a change in someone else's life, in an agency going the wrong direction and in the lives of my family. the agency was put in place because there is a need, but there also as to be a balance of control and power.
