Protection of children a big challenge
Creepy families and crazy boyfriends and drug-addicted moms and abused kids and assorted pregnant young girls are an unappetizing stew of pathology and bad news.
Each morning, the heads of various state and county child-protection and family-services agencies across the country wake up and rip open the local paper, hoping against hope there will be no corpses for which they will be held responsible.
Note: One thing that this article fails to mention is that some of these workers actually get off on the power trip. Along with a few other tid bits that could be thought of.
Over the weekend, a football player's assault of another person, caught on video, resulted in an immediate criminal charge.
ReplyDeleteHe should have assaulted defenseless children and MR adults and no one would care. People who beat up on little kids in foster care only risk losing a minimum wage job.
Cell Phone footage of staff beating the crap out of MR adults and children - Each vid is about 60 seconds of pure hell for the clients.
No Criminal Charges and the Fight Club was discovered last year.

250 cases of abuse include a staff-provoked fight among 7 girls. As in 2005, the state of TX placed a "monitor" at the facility.
If parents were caught doing the same, the children would be ripped from their homes immediately but state contractors' employees are fired. Whooptie Doo!~
