Thank you for sharing this, I have also followed you. Harm coming to children is something which I will never understand. I don't understand how a human being can inflict harm on a poor, defenseless child. I am unsure as to what the CPS is? Is this an American term for the social services (here what we call it in the UK?) If so, it is the same here. Many people are only in it for the money who choose to foster and as for social workers, we have children being taken left, right and center for minor issues however children who are at serious risk or are being neglected, abused and so on being allowed to stay in the care of their so called "parents" or primary care givers. Thank you for writing this, the truth needs to be told.

Thank you for the follow I genuinely appreciate it. I agree the thought that anyone could inflict harm on a child is rather sickening. But some people are just that horrible it seems. Yes CPS (Child Protective Service) is the US equivalent of social services. That's terrible and I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe sometime we could write about the injustice being done over in the UK as well.
It's the exact same story here. People who aren't fit to be foster parents get in it only for the money and abuse children. This is overlooked or kids are placed with people unfit to be foster parents. In the meantime, good parents have their child taken away for minor things such as Devani being taken away because the neighbors heard her parents shouting at each other time one while she wasn't even there.
On top of that CPS workers are pressured to "close cases" quickly and lots of them to ensure money keeps coming in for CPS. It's a horrible system. I plan to keep writing about this and more. I appreciate your support. I feel like people need to give serious thought about this and what can be done to help infleunc ereal and serious change.
