RE: Justice Out Of Reach For The Poor
Not to sound like a jerk, but we are expected to know the law. We are expected to present our facts to a judge.
I do agree with 99% of what you wrote though along the premise that our justice system is broken.
My disagreement starts here
You don't have the voice or Right* to fair judgement if you are closer to the the impoverished class.
By stating this, do you really believe it? Ive seen poor people in a judicial setting upset CPS. How? Because they learned about how it worked, they never gave up citing inequality. I'm not going to cite all precedents that demonstrate being poor is not neglect.
Where my child to be taken today. Better believe this means war. Help me help others educate on how CPS works. Knowledgable families is a force that CPS/State is afraid of.
All true. Except that the rich don't need to spend the hours upon hours of research to understand their rights and how to fight back. They can just pay the best lawyer for that. Actually, their children will probably not be approached by CPS in the first place, because CPS knows that they will have to fight the best lawyers and that they will have a harder time trying to prove that the children are neglected when they live in a nice home.
It takes a lot of fortitude and intelligence to fight this system with no money. And that's if the person has even had the chance to gain access to the information needed.
Liberty and Freedom has never been claimed to be free. If ignorance paid as much as knowledge there would be no benefit to becoming knowledgeable.
"It takes a lot of fortitude and intelligence to fight this system with no money. And that's if the person has even had the chance to gain access to the information needed."
If it took no fortitude or intelligence than knowing the law would have also no value. The fact that your are correct that it takes fortitude and intelligence is actually a good thing to know. This is because what is needed is identified. More Fortitude and intelligence are needed.
Seems like a nice description of what many of us are trying to do for our fellow human beings? Thus anyone who takes up the challenge of having more knowledge and fortitude deserves respect and will get my encouragement. From experience currency is usually a problem that becoming knowledgeable solves. One of the reasons I donate to #familyprotection is the programs being supported with actually currency to help those who need it to get to the point where that knowledge becomes the solution to poverty.
Bringing more knowledge and fortitude into the world. I like being a part of that!
I agree with you completely.
ihashblox, I get the perspective you are coming from, you are right about it since you are basing it on parents being knowledgeable.
On paper this is true, and I have witnessed a little percentage doing so, but there is a huge margin between the justice system for the rich and poor on an equal floor.
If you ave attended a CPS hearing or have been unfortunately opportune to be a victim, you will see clearly that your words and knowledge seem to be effectively almost zeroed out.
I stand by what this post says and most times, the rich families don't get visited.
Show me the equality in this.
I agree. It is a predatory system.
Im just here to support you and familyprotection. On my account i show families how to take action. So intention was never to criticize you.
I think CPS should be done away with in general. However, I do agree. It is predatory.
