About the I am not the victim mantra... migrated to a discussion of Child Protective Services. So let's do some more.... I'mcurious about more stories.....
1. Any CPS stories You want to share?
2. What is your opinion (good/bad) about CPS?
Let's see where this goes...
Bear this in mind, most of the kids end up better off after CPS gets involved, but at what emotional price to all?

PS: I personally see a need to rethink the CPS mission so as to not favor the poor by going easy on them and do gestapo tactics on those who can pay, as I have witnessed with my acquaintances in the past who were descended upon... I got testimonials from county social workers who didn't realise who they were talking to. They laid out the details (names, dates, and circumstances) of how they must not be unfair to the poor because their lives are already so rough. Also, they can't play favorites with those who can afford to pay or they will give CPS a bad name. I found these two attitudes so messy and dysfunctional, I was stunned and later, angry, then determined to see wisdom take over where "chuckleheads" are now in charge. Cps is a "band-aid" process that needs some mature research and discussion to remove the emotional tearing of souls that goes on today. Its a mess, that luckily seems to benefit more kids than not.
