Very well said.
Two reasons that things work this way are:
- Social Services receives funding based on the number of children they take
- 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.
