We also do not need overzealous social workers removing children because of domestic issues, sure sometimes its a valid case but I see an awful lot of violence against Children’s Services lately and the state taking custody of the kids. there is a troubling undercurrent of farming out these kids to foster homes, each being more competitive in getting the kid and then garnishing the parents wages.
I know because they took my son away three years ago and they take most of my paycheck away, and I am fighting to keep him with a foster mother I respect, but the state has another family that is demanding they get my son because they have a better home.
But they also want more money from me to go in their pockets.
And this has been festering inside of me for years, fortunately I prefer to be sane and logical instead of irrational and deadly.
The solution lies within the families themselves. Parents have to commit to working through difficult issues, to staying married, and to staying closely connected to their children, in all but the most extreme circumstances.
