[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly does it mean that the children will be in DC CPS?[b]  I mean, are there just "stand by" parents out there to accept 2 toddlers into their homes?[/b]  Would DC CPS try to get the children into the care of family members?[/quote]

Well, yes.  That's what foster care is all about.[/quote]

I guess I cannot see how it is better for these young children to be placed in a strange home with complete strangers than with their own parents in familiarity of their own home.

I know that others have written that the judge suspects that the parents have done this before, but I just don't know how a foster family placement would be preferred here, particularly now that parents know they are being supervised closely.

I mean, does the judge really think the parents would do ANYTHING like this again?

Do you know that they are with strangers and not, say, family?  Do you know how healthy their home environment is?

This thread is such a fascinating exercise in privilege. You can almost literally see how PP's are envisioning this family as just like theirs. [/quote]

No, PP, I am definitely not envisioning this family as just like mine.  No need to throw insults towards people who are truly interested in this case.  I have NOT heard it confirmed that the children have been placed with family, and hope that YOU or someone else might confirm this information.

I hope that the children would be placed with family or close family friends/caregivers.  So do you know?  Do YOU know how healthy their home environment is?[/quote]

Insults? what are you talking about? I'm usually aware of when I insult people. Did you think mentioning privilege was an insult of you??

You said you couldn't imagine how a stranger's house could be better than their house. That means you cannot imagine how these kids' million dollar house and affluent parents could be a bad environment, or how a stranger's house could be a good one.

My questions were intended to point out how much we don't know. given how much we don't know, all we do know is that people who are in a better position to judge these parents have made a certain decision. I'm PP with the CPS-working sister so I tend to trust that such people have the child's safety in mind.[/quote]
