Note: My heart goes out to this family. The article continues...
The Florida Department of Children and Families almost immediately began an investigation to determine whether there was any neglect involved in the child’s ability to get out of the house, said agency spokesman John Harrell.
Note 2: And I love this next line...
“What we need to find out is what was happening at the time of this incident and how the child was being watched,” Harrell said. “We’re certainly going to be sensitive to the poor family.”
Note 3: Sensitivity from a babystealer during a state sponsored anal probe? Bullshit! I can't even imagine how that would work. And what if they do determine neglect was involved? Are the police going to be just as "sensitive" when they turn it over to them?

If anybody needs sex toys contact Andrea Hagen a Children's Caseworker at Holy Cross Children's Services in Grand Rapids Michigan
It takes a special kind of person to steal and sell other people's kids, such as your Pure Romance Consultant and Foster Care Social Worker Andrea Hagen from PrettyPinkToys.com and Holy Cross Children's Services in Grand Rapids Michigan.
On the Holy Cross Facebook Page, she left a comment...
Which linked to her own Facebook page...
which ends in the same number as her Yahoo Email...
I'm not sure what it is about the number 329 that she likes so much, but it's like a calling card.
I did contact Holy Cross Children's Services in Grand Rapids Michigan at # 616-551-1605 and the receptionist graciously gave me her work cell number 231-942-9662 but told me that "what Andrea does on her personal time is her own business" and refused further comment.

I personally think that child stealers should be held to a higher standard in both their professional and personal lives, especially when their Facebook page claims "Healing children and families to meet the social, emotional, educational and spiritual needs." but Low Life's come in all shapes, sizes and sexual orientations I guess.

Advocates for abused and neglected children are raising red flags over pending legislation that drastically expands the number of child abuse investigators. The problem -- lack of funding once the state knows who is being abused or neglected.
Note: It's all a matter of perception. Make's the stupid think that they're addressing the issues. And the Republican's will call these services "welfare" and vote them down anyway.

Here to Help: Caseworkers say taking children is ‘last resort’
Child abuse caseworkers often encounter the misconception that they are out to take children away from parents.
Child abuse caseworkers often encounter the misconception that they are out to take children away from parents.
That simply is not true, they say. Child Protective Services doesn’t want to take children. But if an investigation uncovers child abuse, then CPS will do what is in the best interest of the child and the family.
Note: Baby stealing liars is what they are. Don't let them fool you.
