I have seen you post about this before ... I’m a little torn in this issue ... I believe they overreact sometimes ... and I feel like a lot of time , the system fails children by not reacting enough.... the line of work I’m in requires our staff to enter tons of apartments a day ... and some of these conditions the children live in is disgusting.... some of these children have parents that honestly don’t deserve to have them.... I’m really torn on this topic.
Thanks for reading, first.
Im in no way shape or form saying bad parents dont exist, and that is never a good circumstance. I think in situations like you describe children should goto family, etc. Instead of running a for profit business.
However, a vast majority of the time the agencies im speaking of are targeting normal parents. Parents that love their kids, this is what i don't get.
We need to find a constitutional basis where families can get treatment-rehabilitation while still being able to see and participate with their children.
I knew this couple... the mom worked ... the dad was unemployed.... he watched the kids .... well when the kids would act up ... he would spank them ... and when the dog would act up ... he would hit him too .... well ... the mom thought he would overdo it ... and would fight with him ... but she also felt he was on the line between discipline and abuse .... one day .... the neighbor heard all the commotion and called the police on him ... the children were placed in the mother’s custody and the courts placed a restraining order against the father .... the mother was made to take parenting classes etc ... well because of all the medical exams the kids had to go thru they found the son had major hearing loss and other physiological issues they thought were normal.... the father was eventually allowed to have supervised visitation with his children .... eventually when he completed his anger classes .... and all the other evaluations he needed he was finally able to go back home with his wife and kids .... but honestly I think they both needed that ... they were young parents and weren’t ready to be parents ..... they put themselves before their children ... they didn’t treat their kids properly ... they brushed everything off and didn’t seem to think anything was a big deal .... And the anger issues came back ... but this time the mom
Knew what it was and it wasn’t ok ... and she left him . If they would have stayed together ... who knows what would
Have happened .
