  6. It seems like a lot of people just want to vent and share and express and unload all this trauma, and I get it, we all do that. Everybody wants to share and talk, but some of these CPS workers probably came from households like that and wanted to help, but soon learned and realized the scope and enormity of the situation was much more than any listening to the trauma-dumping could help. They have bosses and their bosses are eventually the courts, and the limited funding and the corruption and etc etc. I guarantee there are many cases where they helped, or many cases where they tried and were taken advantage of by bad people. And Retired52 said it best "And it's the poor kids that have to suffer." The kids are the victims here, true, and all the comments seem to come from the victims. It's fucking sad, especially when you deal with these traumatized kids. I know kids in middle and high schools from situations and homes like these that do drugs, fight or don't respect authority, and 2 (1 middle schooler and 1 high schooler that call themselves "trans.") The boy took hormones and turned himself into a girl and does make-up to look like a chola, and the little middle school girl shaved her head and acts like a tough boy. Their facades are strong, but when you get them in vulnerable moments, they're hurt and lost and scared and traumatized beyond comprehension- sexual, physical, emotional trauma, the obvious neglect. It sucks to say, but some people should just not have kids. What do you do when they do though? I knew a girl strung out on drugs once that got pregnant. Luckily she had a miscarriage because that baby would've been traumatized. One time I saw a drug deal go down in an alley where a little girl was standing by a guy's legs and the mom was nearby just watching and waiting.

  10. wow, sorry to hear that @King Dungee, i grant your frustration, but what more can even a cop do if he comes to a situation like this!? again, it leads to the courts, and that gets expensive for the family. "they know a lot but do nothing" what could they do. a lot of these public servants actually work for the courts and they get their protocol from their superiors. "all they do is try to pacify the situation and let you figure it out on your own" imagine taking on cases like these day in and day out, it seems these poor workers get desensitized to the violence and are at a loss for what to do! "tbh it's just a job to most of them" because it is! i work with kids in schools and there's a line somewhere where we as educators just cant and don't get involved. the more serious cases all have highly sensitive legalities attached to them where an appointed mediator can only talk to the parent's or a psychologist appointed and approved by the school as a mediator between the case carrier and the parents, nevermind the actualy kid. i get that you guys are all passionate about this, but what exactly would you recommend to do to actually fix that fact that a mediator like a cps is even needed between the kids and the parents!? it's more difficult than just hating cops cuz they can be corrupt, a lot of them got into the job for all the right reasons but soon learn how that organization works. it's all fucked. everybody's just "doing their job." we all got life to deal with outside of work.

  14.  @retired5218  it's breaking the cycle that is the most difficult part. the resources are there, but the kids have to rewire not only their brains but their whole physical and mental existence. i've seen happen. i know one family where the mom had a severe chemical dependency throughout the first and second borns childhood, and even had a third thereafter. the eldest slept and slutted around till her late teens, the middle child was raised mostly by the fatherless eldest, while the mom struggled to make ends meet, and the youngest is getting the first taste of sober mom. The eldest girl is actually trying to set a better example for her sisters now and live as an eldest sister could without all the trauma of that childhood that her and her little sister experienced. Luckily, that mom got married to a friends of mines friend, and they're kinda gettin their heads above water and buying like starter cars for their oldest daughters while mom continues to live sober and break the programming she probably inherited from her fucked up childhood. it's like a last minute barely by the skin of her teeth survival story turned hopeful future ending. I know a kid that started a successful painting company after growing up pretty much on his own in a similar situation. It's not easy, but it's possible- if they can break the legitimate victim's cycle of poverty. That's what it comes down to in this world- can you get up financially? If you can get up financially, you can pretty much design your life the way any more affluent or financially secure and even well financially endowed or empowered kid could. But you have to want it. You have to take it. Nobody is gonna give it to you on a platter after fillin' out some forms.
