VOCAL SITES= Victims of Child Abuse Laws

[Fern5827]

Children are victims of the CPS industry, too. Even Dr. Richard Gelles, THE
EXPERT on child abuse in the US lables the *Child protective industry* as no
better than flipping a coin (in keeping children safe.)

Some sites for families to network to reform the laws:

Of course children are victims of CPS. Every time budget cuts take money out
of CPS rather than spend money to fund a better system and ensure more
qualified workers with smaller case loads, children are victims. And parents
are victims.

This is why I advocate a well-funded CPS system that allows hiring of qualified
workers with manageable caseloads. It's so easy to point fingers when one is
unwilling to pay for the fix.

Speaking of finger pointing...I always thought truth and love was the fix.
