[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am scared of this too. You guys should all read “small animals:parenting in the age of fear”. These days someone will call CPS on you if you let your kid out of your sight. I definitely helicopter more than I would because I’m scared of someone calling cps and having my kid taken away, rather than kid stranger danger. Most foster homes are not safe either, so if you are falsely accused there is a good chance of your child being abused or traumatized. [/quote]
Omg every single thing here is absolutely false. Most foster homes are totally safe. No one will take your child away upon false accusal! Do you people even understand what a severe shortage of foster parents exist in most of the US?! CPS is not out looking for kids to put in an already insanely overcrowded system. The vast number of CPS calls end in a visit and a recommendation to do something. Ex: CPS is called by neighbor because a child is in a hoarder house with dog and cat feces lining their carpet. CPS visits the house, witnesses dog and cat feces, and then tells the super neglectful mother to clean up the mess and the date they will return to verify. The child is *not* removed.

There are so, so many children in the US that are being neglected. Most of them never set foot in a foster home. That people think there is an epidemic of innocent parents crying for their children who are being ripped from their loving hands is idiocy at best. [/quote]

Former foster care worker - hmmm... no most aren't that great or safe and many are in it for the stipend.  I worked with a few good ones but very few I'd consider good or ones I'd want my kid in even for an hour.

Lots of bad things happen through CPS.  You have no idea.[/quote]
Uhm I’ve had foster children in my home, my niece was fostered and then adopted and my parent retired from many years at DCFS, so I know exactly what I speak of. It is such a lie that foster homes are hotbeds of abuse. My niece was found at two weeks old crying in a dark, crumbling house with a strange man sitting by her on the bed high as a kite. She was duct taped, with a hernia and injuries. My foster brother was removed from his home as a toddler when he set fire to a couch while his mother was gone on a drug run. Please, by all means, leave those children in their horrific conditions because a clean room and sane foster parents who “want a stipend” are definitely the problem in the US right now. [/quote]

That is great your family home is safe and good but not all of them are.  [/quote]
Guess what percent of the homes of abusive and drug-addicted parents are safe and good? I wish CPS abolitionists would come out of their senseless theorist towers, mumbling about race and constructs, and hold an infant screaming in pain from opioid-induced lung damage. Or maybe they can explain to a child whose parent “lends them” to strange men why it’s better she stay with her horrific abusers because there might be foster parents who are “in it for a stipend”. I hope every one of these people are haunted by the nightmares they will cause.[/quote]

It depends on the situation.  I've seen some kids in foster care in such bad homes they were better off with their families even if its not a great situation.[/quote]
