Responding To A Comment From CeCe

I have got to respond to a comment from CeCe, the blogger from Diary of a Foster Mom, who left a comment on this post.

LK, you know I have my own serious issues with the system, but it really is about the laws. We need to come together to change the laws first, then the system. Teach people at young ages how to make choices so that they can be better parents. Perhaps, high school health should be changed to parenting classes? At least the CPS system is doing something to intervene for the sake of abused/neglected children. You seem to think that the CPS system portrays itself to the solution to abuse. The only solution to abuse and neglect is for parents to stop abusing and neglecting their children. For parents to admit that they are ill-equipped to adequately care for their children, and get the help they need. For parents to put their children's needs above their own. Period.

Now, I am not going to be mean to CeCe. I honestly believe that this is a well meaning foster parent who cares for the child in her home. I don't believe she is in it for the money like many others or anything like that, but I do believe that she has a lot to learn.

So my response to CeCe's comment is this...

Don't believe everything that the nice social worker tells you. They bullshit the foster parents too. If they actually did their jobs, they wouldn't be removing half the kids that they do.
