If you click on this link, it will piss you off.

How nice.  My wife has to spend Mothers Day with CPS up her ass.  The kids mentioned in this article (except for one) have to spend Mothers Day with strangers.  And the real mothers are probably devastated and heartbroken and would want nothing more than to spend this day with their kids. 

People who write articles like this should be knocked down and pissed on.
Kim Richter of Dunbar expects her Mother’s Day will be loud. 
She’s got five children in her Fayette County home: her adopted son, Michael, and four foster children.

Don’t Give Kids Holiday Gifts That Can Spy on Them

During the holiday season, my husband and I tend to offer suggestions to those who are generous enough to insist on buying presents for our kids. Things like “Don’t spend more than $50” and “No guns.” Or, for those with whom we can be comfortably blunt, “Just cash, please.”

The idea is to make gift-giving less stressful and expensive and to make it less likely that the gift givers will waste money on things our kids don’t need — or that we simply would rather they didn’t have.

This year we’re adding a new rule to our list: No toys that can spy. The idea: to keep seemingly innocuous internet-connected devices that may compromise our privacy and security out of our home and especially out of our children’s hands.

Mounties, businessman save Christmas for B.C. children seized by ministry worker

Mounties, businessman save Christmas for B.C. children seized by ministry worker

Two children seized from their British Columbia home on Christmas Eve weren't overlooked by Santa thanks to a couple of Mounties and a businessman.

Note: This is a perfect example of how the Mass Media takes the focus off of the real issue of kids being stolen by CPS, or the plight of kids in foster care, and puts it onto the wonderful people who made it all happen.

If you think that getting a few Christmas presents from your kidnappers the day after you were stolen from your parents makes everything all better, then you are as full of shit as a Christmas Turkey.

At Christmas, don't forget the uncaring side of state 'care’

At Christmas, don't forget the uncaring side of state 'care’

We may spare a seasonal thought for those thousands of children removed from their parents by social workers for no good reason who are spending this Christmas unhappily in state “care”, wanting nothing more than to return home to their equally unhappy parents.

Foster Kids Can Be Torn Between Worlds On Mother's Day

Foster Kids Can Be Torn Between Worlds On Mother's Day


Children across the country will be rolling out the breakfast trays and handmade cards for Mother's Day. But the holiday brings up mixed feelings for many foster mothers and their children.

"It can be really confusing for a child when there's Mother's Day and the child is supposed to celebrate their 'new mom,'" says Cris Beam, author of To The End of June: An Intimate Life of American Foster Care. "The child is still really attached, and it's a complicated holiday, and they need sometimes a new way to think about this other parent."

Santa is a CPS Rat!

Santa tells child he is going to 'report mummy to social services'

A MOTHER was furious after Santa threatened to call social services because her daughter was too small - despite being just a few pounds lighter than the average child.

Note: This from a guy who "sees you when your sleeping," and then goes around letting little kids sit on his lap bribing them with toys and candy canes.

Connie Schultz: Teens in foster care deserve a Christmas, too

Connie Schultz: Teens in foster care deserve a Christmas, too

Remember how hard it was to be a teenager? All that angst and self-doubt, surrounded by family who didn't understand you.

Now try to imagine what it's like to be that teenager in foster care, at Christmas.

Note: That was the sugar coated version, LT, one of my personal favorite bloggers, wrote a really good post about Christmas in foster care too. Check it out.

Hold the “happy” — holidays are hard for foster kids!

Some early morning bullshit for you

This is one of those stories about people who think that they're doing something nice for kids. And in a way they are, but it's a tease. After all is said and done, the kids go back to the group homes for their regularly scheduled torture and mind control.

Foster Kids Find A Holiday Home Through Oklahoma DHS Program

Hundreds of Oklahoma children are away from their families, through no fault of their own.

This probably also helps to give staff time off for the holidays.

Guess what
