RE: A Family Ripped Apart: Medical Kidnapping by a Child Abuse Pediatrician
so many strange things happening in CPS. I dont know much about the US, but in germany there are some major flaws. They can take your children by their own assessment and the only thing you can do is go to court. But that takes 3 years on average .... By that time your child will already be deeply traumatised.
Political decisions are influenced by the providers of foster homes. Number of children taken into care is rising since years even though all scientific studies show that separating children from their family is expensive and the results are bad. Ambulant help is by far more efficient while also cheaper. Right now the place for one child in a home can be as large as 5000 euro a month! That money goes somewhere...
The number of children taken are crazy! Currently about 1% of all children per year!. A lot of them return to their parents after a few weeks, but a fair amount is permanently separated form their parents often with severe restrictions for the parent to visit the child.
Something needs to happen.
Just like charities, the money is being sucked up for the bureaucracy in the systems. Welfare mindset is out of control and bleeding everyone dry as they state-payed employees and corrupt system keeps sucking the blood. It's a corrupt system brought on by motivations to do good, but an inability to do good in many cases. It's out of control.
