Our Child Proctection Services are severely harming our children and has turned into a family abuse warehouse industry to many of the families they are supposed to protect. There are false accusations of child abuse that demean the innocent parent (s), and create harm for the very children the anti-abuse laws were designed to protect.
In most cases a parent is assumed guilty and are made to go through the ringer called the system to prove they are good people. It is not the job of the system to make the parent good they are to help them become safe parents for the kids. The most profound problem with child welfare, is that it is not always about the welfare of the child but rather, the welfare of the Agency.
It is the policy of the department to remove a child from the home due to speculation that a threat exists, when the research shows that removing and placing a child in foster care is always more detrimental to the family unit. Unfortunately, child welfare is not held accountable for the unattributable damage it causes when a child is removed from the home prematurely, unwarranted and placed in an inadequate foster home at best.
Often times the children are worst as a result of their dealings with the Agency than they were at home. If there is a problem with one child and there are other children in the home the department will take them all and put them in foster care. What is that really about? It is merely a numbers game and the children are the stakes being placed.
It is time that we do our part as a community and become the Village for the children.

I for one believe this to be true. I was a foster child and today my life is not what it was supposed to be.
