One family's struggle with child protective services...

CPS hands kids their cards and encourages already

I believe that in this case there may well have been abuse prior to the
child having the card.

So if a child is abused they should not seek help from CPS?

What would you do if someone cut off your hair to punish you?

GREAT job of empowerment!
Straight out of NAZI YOUTH.

You are once more hallucinating.

It's interestiung also how the caseworkers repeatedly
blamed the Mom and how full of crap they were.

Well, it looks like you are wrong.

The Mom in this case might not have even needed
anger management if CPS hadn't ""empowered""
the teen age hellions in the first place!

You didn't read the descriptions of the mother's behavior. If you want
to make a teen frantic and fighting back, one way or another, be a mean
punitive parent, as this lady apparently was.

And the hellions turned out to really BE hellions
in the various other placements.

No, they simply have been taught not to trust adults. That means they
will test every place they go. Most folks don't know how to deal with a
teens (or younger children's) 'testing' behaviors. They tend, as YOU
did, Greg, to see the child as defiant.

Look what it got Lisa.

What's this bureaucratic garbage that says
that the YOUNGER kids have to be removed FROM HER
if a placement fails??

It was not linked to a placement failing. It was linked to the next
child in line being subjected to the mother's aggressive and abusive
treatment of the "oldest" child in the home. Already proven with one
kid, then with the second one. Read the actual article, Greg.

This case really showcases what a complete
bunch of worthless morons these caseworkers
really are.

Actually it shows they went way out of their way to accommodate this
family, and especially the mother. I suspect, like you, she just didn't
quite get the anger management piece...and that kids should not be
subjected to such things as a parent's uncontrolled anger.

But you wouldn't understand that, now would you, Greg?

So, presuming you can recover the article itself (that you have now
hidden so you and others can't see how stupid and factless your
accusations) how about going through it and highlighting each of these
things that relate to your accusations....LEAVING NOTHING OUT FROM THE
ORIGINAL ARTICLE?

Can you do that?

Make your argument based on facts, Greg, not your poor and biased recall
of the story.

Thanks.
