Murdered Florida Girl Suffered Years of Abuse

Not their job to protect the children ???

What is an exact word "CPS" for (see my response post to Eve).

What CPS do with their job if protect the children is not belong kind of their job tasks?

It IS their job to protect children, but they aren't doing it. This is what I am saying to you. They aren't doing their job. They aren't protecting the children in their care.

And, this is not just in Florida. This is true all over this country.

Yes, I know what CPS stand for.

Sorry to confuse you with my post.

I mean:

What´s that word of "Child Protective Services" (CPS) for??? That´s what I´m wondering about their job task.

Their job task is supposing to protect the children from unsafety enviroement.

Child Protective Service ( CPS ) is where they investigate reports that anyone called in regarding the children being abused or whatever...Their job is to follow up each report that were made, and to check up on those children to be sure they're in a safe home etc....

CPS don't always removed children from the householder unless they have more report on that case, and they may as well do something about it, sometimes they're too late and children end up getting killed or if they removed the child from the householder for a short period of time or maybe longer then they return the children back to the home where they have removed them in the first place....

I have very less faith in CPS, they do not do their job right and they do not take care of the situation as good enough, that why more and more children are being killed cause CPS just put their fingers up their azz and leave the children behind in a home where it's not safe....

That's why there is no hope for those children out there who are still stuck in an abusive home where there's not enough help to get them out quickly!

Liebling, CPS is to protect children, but they can only work within the guidelines that have been established for them. They can't simply walk in and snatch up your children without cause, and the word of one witness is not enough without physical evidence to support the case. This is to prevent the government from simply taking over our lives and freedoms. Unfortunately, our history indicates that we tend to swing from one end of the pendulum to the other, without ever finding a happy medium. Sadly, the children are the ones who suffer from our ignorance and apathy.

All of your points bring up questions for me... what are the costs of having freedom? and security? what would be appros in such a possibly abusive situation regarding children?

Like some have said.. We can be the ones to decide on this, if we add our voice to the seemingly intimidating machinations of the governing body that determines the guidelines or laws or whatever it is that can affect a child.

I'm glad to know everyone cares in this thread! I am pleased to know all of you!

You are very very very very correct, Eve.

Angel, when I said "qwitcherbichen" I was not merely referring to you alone. I am simply saying that we should all be registered voters who thoroughly investigate who we are voting into office and what platforms they stand on and vote accordingly, thereby making an "informed decision". You obviously have some very definite opinions on Child Protection issues, but airing them in this forum will not solve anything. As one has previously stated, "actions speak louder than words." I know this because I have been petitioning my congressman and senator to increase the Child Protection laws in my state to include emotional abuse. I have called CPS on my husband's exwife numerous times and nothing can be done because the extent of her abuse on the children is not within the realm of Child Protection guidelines. I know that if I want that to change, I can't simply sit back and complain about the situation without actually doing something about it.

Sorry, I´m total surprised about this.

I was raised in England to know what CPS is. CPS took my siblings away from my abusive and unsafe family to give them to foster parents and children homes... I spent aboarding school for many years and come home to my Grandparents 3 times a year. What they doing is protect the children. It´s the same as in Germany, too because I witness it myself that few of my friends´s children were took away from them due neglect and school problems.

Child abuse was not as recognized back then as it is now. Same thing with rape for that matter. It didn't really have as powerful a name as it does now. I have friends who are well into their forties and fifties, and even they say that they had no idea what date rape was when they were teenagers. Off topic, I know...but it kind of goes hand in hand with the gentle reminder that CPS perhaps is not what it used to be...especially here in the USA in comparison to England or Germany, etc. They all have different systems and rules.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

wow, interesting thread here.

Thank you for explaining, OB, Angel, Eve and Mayolische. I still find it very sad and scary that CPS system are not support the children enough to against unsafety environment.
I wish that the CPS law does improve to help poor and innocent children.

Yes, you were right that our country has different law system, Mayolische.

Yes, you has good point, Eve that we should do SOMETHING is write a letter to government to change and improve the law system.

Didn't they had evidences the times that Sarah and her siblings allegedly were beaten on several occasions with belts, boards and fists, and a black eye in 2002?

I have come to the conclusion that some in this forum only bother to read what they want and exclude anything that doesn't fit in with their way of thinking. Even when I back up my statements with credible proof that still isnt enough because it isnt what some WANT to see. I keep seeing these same individuals saying that this forum is open to debate, but I don't see it. All I see is a couple of imbeciles who would argue with a fencepost and if they don't get their way and someone offers an opposing view point, they go running off to their boyfriend.....err moderator. How is this an open debate?

Again...

This thread is a failure and I'm locking it. It seems like lately there's been more and more bashing. I'm asking you all to review the forum rules at http://www.alldeaf.com/showthread.php?t=95 because obviously some of you don't take them seriously. And to those who still don't give a damn it won't be long before you get banned, I'm serious.
