[quote=Anonymous]The worst is that the current motto is keep the family intact at all costs. Children basically don't have rights and aren't seen as equal with their parents rights. Kids can be flagged multiple times, get calls from mandatory reporters, be taken into foster care and their parents take a few classes and the kid is back in their care. Kids are easy targets because they are easy to blame, easy to overpower, etc. There is still no one to protect them because at the end of the day, the courts/state don't have the funds to house them nor the people available to foster hence the emphasis on parental rights and "keeping the family intact". Its sickening. I look at my son some days and think how lucky he is, how lucky we are and know there are children who haven't felt love or safety or trust. And that missing those isn't the worst of it. On top of that there are kids who literally get beat and assaulted by family/relatives/etc. [/quote]
