Child Protective Services is competing for government funding,
and the more children that they take into foster care,
the more funding that they receive,
and the more workers they can hire, etc.
So of course it costs money,
but they treat government money like it is free and do not care that everybody else has to either pay more taxes or get less of other government services, or that the government debt keeps rising and rising.
Of course some children need to be protected from abusive parents,
but in many cases, the foster homes are abusive.
They will try their best to find any minor fault with the child's parents so that they can take that child away,
and then they place the child in a foster home that has not been properly vetted and where abuse occurs, which they completely ignore when shown evidence.
The system is broken,
and the Social Workers in charge right now should not be working in this field at all.
They all need to be fired, and ethical people need to replace them.
Oh, I think I get it now. Its not that they actually MAKE money by it, but simply take more out of what people pay in taxes to grow their empire as each department does. Many little fiefdoms. I guess that's what happens when there is little to no oversight. All public services should have some sort of watchdog to keep them on the straight and narrow.
Agree with you !
Yes the system is broken and the social workers should be fired and the children put into no schooling homes. Where parents put the children first in their lives.
