RE: What Is @familyprotection? What Are The Rules? How Do I Donate?
Before Steemit and discovering @familyprotection, I had no idea about CPS abuse and the tragedies so many families have gone through. It still is something my mind has a difficult time processing and I know I'm not the only one. The way I see it, this account is already doing a great job waking up people and exposing a merciless system bent on destroying families. Hopefully, we can find ways of helping the families separated by the so-called child protective services of the world.
One thing that is bothering me right now - why is it that most of these cases seem to be happening in rich countries, North America and Europe especially?! Is it because the richer a country the more money can be made by removing children from their families? Just a thought...
i Think perhaps it happens in America and Europe because we’ve moved to a system where hand to mouth needs are generally resolved and part of looking ‘civilised’ is addressing rights of children. Any system that monetises the protection of the rights of children is going to be open to corruption for sure.
In India it’s cheaper not to protect children. In the US for example, they have to be doing so.
Also, as a libertarian I strongly believe any system that starts to ‘nanny’ the people will become progressively more controlling and more arrogant. It’s group polarisation that happens within authorities. They come to justify their actions with their prejudices. It’s a kind of mind state Freud (hate the man!) called ‘camouflage’. We will do a lot of things that suit us by covering them (even to ourselves) with the ‘needs’ of another (for protection, ‘because they don’t know what’s best for them’ etc).
Even quite moral people can get wrapped up in corrupting a system this way.
I learned how their heads work whilst working with our local authority to deal with their awful treatment of home educators and in the UK education and welfare are dealt with by the same department and there’s frequently a conflation of education and welfare. We were flagged as an ‘at risk’ group without any cause and it was causing a lot of problems.
Do you mean when like when liberals hide their fear of radicals by making out they don't challenge them as they are "tollerant"?
The people who work for social services are as you mention. often. i find working class kids who go to university often end up looking down on and patronizing the communities they come from. Social services employ a lot of this type of person..
I think it's happening world wide. However, I suspect that in the less wealthy countries it's only a small amount of their worries so it doesn't really make it into the top list of problems to be dealt with and children are probably more easily then without anyone noticing.
Yeah! It is happening mostly in 'rich' countries, which proves that money is the root of pretty much all of our problems in this world.
Thanks for the feedback @ladyrebecca
