There are, of course, instances of terrible child abuse, and it’s the mission of ACS and child welfare agencies across the country to intervene. But often the child is not in danger and the caseworker has made a judgment call based only on the way the family is living. “With the vast majority of parents who have children in the foster system, their children are there not because they’ve done something abusive or harmful or abandoned them,” says Emma Ketteringham the managing attorney of the Family Defense Practice at Bronx Defenders, a public defender nonprofit. “They are there because of related stressors to poverty.”

Anyone who thinks CPS should be eliminated should be forced to watch autopsies of children who die due to parental abuse/neglect and then should be forced to read the autopsy report front to back. So they can see what could have been prevented with CPS intervention.

WHY DO WOMEN THINK THIS? I've read about situations like this over and over, and it continually amazes me..."He doesn't hit my children, so it's okay that he beats the shit out of me in front of them." Wtf.

Her ordeal began at 5 a.m. on August 15, 2013. While her partner and their 2-year-old son slept, Montauban retreated to the bathroom with her cellphone. She dialed the number of Safe Horizon, a domestic abuse hotline whose services include counseling and relocation assistance she had seen advertised in subway stations for years. Montauban had just experienced violence at the hands of her partner that made her fear for her life. Trying to stay as quiet as possible, she was looking for help to break a cycle of toxic behavior. Maybe Safe Horizon could refer them to couples therapy or find transitional housing for her and her son as they worked things out.

At around 5:45 p.m., Carmen Nelson called Montauban, who was still at work at a school. ACS had filed a petition requesting that her son be removed from her care for a few reasons: He had allegedly observed domestic violence; Montauban’s partner had neglected the child; and Montauban refused to file an order of protection against her partner that would stop him from seeing his son. While Montauban had originally made the call for help, she felt like no one was doing anything to help her. Instead they were ruining her life. The petition had been approved by a judge, and Montauban’s son was taken from the daycare and put into foster care. He wouldn’t return home that day—or any day over the next five years.

She also said that fathers in the black community are quite often absent and she didn't want her kid to be just another fatherless statistic.

Because apparently a violent bastard father is better than no father.

Why is this so hard? Why are Moos always ready to do everything except the most sensible thing when they wind up in shitty relationships?

To put it bluntly, CPS saved my life.My mother drank whilst pregnant with me, then neglected me after. The whole thing came to a head just shy of my second birthday, when my brother was seen by a neighbor running the street naked. When they came to the house, they found both parents passed out drunk. When they examined me after removing me, i could not walk, or talk...at all--and my main fontanelles were still open. When my adoptive parents got me, I could still only say three words--at 3 1/2 years of age.
What these bints don't "get" is that CPS does not remove children from their birth families lightly. The foster system is over-stressed and adoptive parents willing to adopt special-needs, racial minority, or older children are few and far between. It is not in the system's or the child's interest to remove a child unless she or she needs to be removed. Today, especially, the trend is to try to keep the family intact if possible, with couselling and other services. To put it bluntly again, these bints have NO idea of what they're talking about.
