I've been following this blog...

I've been following this blog which is the blog of a foster mother who had to give the kid back to the real mother. This was devastating to her, but those posts are way back in the archives. Since the reunification, the real mother has allowed this foster mother continued contact with the kid. At the same time, this mother is being bashed and criticized on a blog by a person who lives a higher standard for every little move she makes...

And she's scheming to get her hands back on the kid...

http://fosterhood.tumblr.com/post/12211648391/one-good-note

I would urge anybody who knows this kid to notify the mother of this blog and of this foster mother's scheme, as well as the states Attorney General's office in regards to her violations of confidentiality laws. However, I doubt that will happen.

And this is why foster caregivers should not have a say, because a foster parent who grows attached to your child can be a real nightmare.

DCF Increases Transparency Through Information on Website

It never ceases to amaze me just what people will believe.
DCF Increases Transparency Through Information on Website

The Florida Department of Children and Families gets many questions every day related to the services provided to help all Floridians enjoy a better future.
This, my friends, is what we call bullshit in it's purest and simplistic form. This is not how they become more transparent. This is how they redirect the attention of the simple minded sheep who still believe that these people actually protect children from abuse and neglect until they actually experience the sensation of a social worker crawling up their ass.  At which point they usually come to terms with reality.  Which I remember was a very shocking revelation, but that was a long time ago.

"You can now find out all kinds of information about us. We'll even tell you what questions to ask!"
How many child protective investigations did we conduct last year? 
The Department, through a partnership with the University of South Florida, has created the Center for Child Welfare online at http://centerforchildwelfare.fmhi.usf.edu/kb/PerfData/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Click on “Child Protective Investigation Trend Report” to get data on
how many investigations, what type of abuse is alleged and if the
findings were verified for abuse.
I have a few questions that they should put out there.  Like: How do you people sleep at night, pulling their little power trips, perjuring themselves in court so they can steal children and playing the heroes when they're really nothing but frauds working the government child trafficking ring?  Oh, we know that they're all so darn good at child saving that all of these kids come out all screwed up in the end.  http://legallykidnapped.blogspot.com/search/label/age%20out
