I can't understand people. You hear it everyday on the news about kids getting taken, and what happens to them.
People like that should get a huge fine and go through mega classes, and really be taught a lesson to that leaving their child a lone will be more of an inconvenience due to consequences.
Sick. I could rant more. But it won't get to the mother who is the on who really needs to hear it...  |
You're right. This is a bit of a tangent but I wanted to add that people don't know that calling child protective services DOESN'T mean the child gets taken away and put in a foster home. Having worked with them in the past, I know that they do try to keep families together in cases of neglect. The point of the agency is to protect children, and education, visiting with the family, and monitoring is a HUGE thing they do to effect change. A guilty parent will often raise caine about suing the state or caller (if they know who it is, you can report anonymously), but it won't hold water.
