RE: What Gives Our Government the Right to Take Our Children?

in #freedom7 years ago

True. But it seems that all to often Social Services leave the severely abused children in the abusive homes, and instead take away children from good homes.

And the foster homes or group homes that they get placed into are often way more abusive than their own parents were.

It is horrific that children who need a safe place to live are placed into further danger by the government agencies themselves. There are TONS of stories of sexual abuse and other types of abuse happening within the foster care system.

The Social Workers try very, very hard to find anything wrong that they can possibly pin on the parents to snatch their children away from them,
and then they turn those precious children over (in many cases) to homes that are MUCH worse and that have not been properly vetted.

The whole system is utterly broken.

Very well said.

Two reasons that things work this way are:

  1. Social Services receives funding based on the number of children they take
  2. Parents are the first line of defense against the state when it is time for them to learn to obey and conform. Many parents tell their children just the opposite. I tell mine to use their brains, make their own decisions, and decide whether or not to comply. By taking children from those who really care for them and giving them to those that do not they have an easier time training them to be good submitizens.

I'm sure there are other reasons, but I believe those two reasons are the largest.

If more people were exposed to what is really going on I think things would change. Unfortunately most people can simply dismiss any horror story as something that rarely happens without considering how they would feel if it was their own horror story.

I totally agree with everything you said here. I truly believe that the government agencies and social workers are doing more damage to these kids than helping. It makes me sick to my stomach of how this whole system works.
