I'm not going to say that the children may or may not have been in danger in that home.
I don't understand, if the neighbor saw that, why she didn't call the cops, and they didn't arrest him and put him in jail.
I really, don't understand why this sort of stuff can't be handled with the normal criminal justice system. I know that I have heard that it would
strain their resources. Maybe if they weren't fighting 'the drug war' they could attend to crimes like violence against children.
Ok, that said..... Why did no one ever have to prove that the GOVERNMENT wasn't a BIGGER danger to children than the families? Have you ever looked
at how many children die while in foster care? Or how many end up with mental problems - and a lot of that deals - not just from the issues of the
families they came from, but a lot of times, from the abuse they suffered as foster kids.
I had a patient once. She was really quite crazy. Her mom died when she was young. She had not been abused by her mom - but she was in several
foster homes and was abused in ALL of them, the last one being a man that raped her and burnt her as a teenager.
I was a psych nurse for 14 years. There's a LOT of those stories out there. The DFCS (CPS) system as we know it - it isn't that long it's been so
involved in family life. I expect, any day now, that there will be a survivors of DFCS group started so these stories get out. Might already be one
- I dunno. It looks like it IS starting on youtube though. There's survivors of CPS stories out there.
I follow them. Nearly every day - if you follow them, and I challenge you to - you will see widespread abuse IN THE SYSTEM BY THE GOVT. Kids
abused, neglected, raped, killed. You'll also see a lot of DFCS workers arrested for child molestation.
So anyway, while we all sit here informally putting this guy and his wife on trial - why don't we put the govt.'s kinda care on trial too.
What happens when you really DO love your child, and someone accuses you and they take your child before you can prove your case? You probably won't
accept my challenge, to follow them in the news, because if you do, you'll life in fear until your child is of age.
