Forceful State Interventions Have Long Term Damaging Effects on Child Health

The sometimes overreaching powers of the state, particularly in the aspect of family life, has often been abused, despite the call to order by several freedom groups. A popular arm often used as a groundhog in the execution of the states influence on the basic family rights and structure is the dreaded CPS - Child protection services.

CPS has over the years carried out actions in the name of 'protecting the child' that have often begged the question for a review of their core values. Perhaps there was a time when this was the case and the child was protected, but that seems ages ago with the current operating system of the body, and indeed, the system.

Their operations represent an open and we'll funded abuse of the children they claim to protect by taking from their families. These children throw their despair and distrust along with their few belongings, and head off to the next place the next let-down 'home'. They are abused and neglected long before they ever reach our abusive and neglectful foster care system - and once in, things often only get worse.

There are increased links between CPS interventions and mental health/juvenile behaviour, not only in America, but around many First World Countries. In a recent study carried out by Laura Van Duin of the University of Amsterdam, Studies found that the majority of kids under CPS interventions resorted to substance abuse, violence and developed some chronic mental illnesses. Suffice to say, it is increasingly difficult to justify the existence and overreach of CPS at this rate.

So if it's not about the kids or values, what then is the goal of CPS, what keeps driving this insane social exploitation tool? That answer is still unknown to me at the moment, but as always, Money is definitely at the root of the matter.

As advocacy for family freedom steps up, the goal to defeat or at least reform some of the overreaching powers of the state, including CPS, must not be forgotten.

Good read, agree on lot's... I feel like this is written on a USA perspective and I just know our shortcomings in Canada, so I can't disagree with full authority on some of the other stuff. The systems in place are unfortunately the best we have, but they can sure be a bit better. I think in large part there is a combination of too much legislation and not enough at the same time. The people at the top haven't spent enough time on the front lines, to really figure out what is working for the kids. They read paper work and adjust from there which is part of the problem. I feel like I am rambling a bit, and hope this makes sense.
