DCS, a worthless institution

[Mommieof3]

    >> Interesting.......  they think that living with someone is an unstable home, but you said your mom wasn't married.  So, someone who just isn't married is stable.  Amazing! (Not really.  I know all about how the courts work.)<<
         Yep, pretty contradictive huh?


   >>  I am sure you have already figured out that this was a "parenting plan" that was set up for failure.  They make appointments so close together that you can't keep all of them, or make them during daytime hours so you have to miss work.  When you miss so much work that you loose your job, there is another tool for them to refuse to return your child.<<
             This is so TRUE-- I had a week to complete all of this and not to mention all the money we had to spend for it all!!!!
 

  >>   Actually, you are lucky.  It is a miracle that they haven't terminated your parental rights yet!  How old is your daughter now??<<

             Lucky?? No way, not all. They can't terminate my rights, I'm not a push over. My daughter just turned 13.

             I got news today that DCS is wanting to move my daughter to a new foster home, and I'm not gonna let it happen!!! Her foster family now are friends of the family and because they are unable to complete the Path (foster parenting) classes they are trying to move her. I am so over all this B.S.!!!!! I don't know what to do anymore!!! I just want my baby girl home and these self-centered pieces of crap, that are suppose to be for the child, are doing everything to be against us.

[TIDDYBEAR]

>>supposed to be for the child, are doing everything against us<<

     Yes, DCS is SUPPOSED to be out for the "best interest of the child."  Wrong!!  What DCS is for is the "best interest of the AGENCY!"

I Know these people who live across from my mother in laws house and they take in kids who don't have a home from beating or just

abandonment. They are horrible kids they have broken into her house and her car they trash the dead end street. i can't even go

down that street without getting a nail in my tire. the family who took them in are no better than the ones they were with. I will admit i have

seen some that are really nice and treat them great but this one is
horrible. music loud all the time. i have called and so has his mom

but they don't want to do anything. its horrible. the woman who keeps them...the worst thing about it...she taught them how to pick

locks on cars and houses so they won't get caught its horrible DCS puts kids in the worst situations and don't even realize it. She was

even at Walmart when i was there one day and made the 7 year old carry a dvd player right out the door with out paying.

[Mommieof3]

That's horrible!!!!! This is why DCS should be picked apart and done away with. I know that when my daughter was placed in custody I threw a fit because of the placements until they put her with a good family friend. The first placement was with my aunt, by marriage, and this lady made her write horrible letters and she also sells drugs out of her home, I threw a fit and so they moved her. Well, the next placement was at another family members home. This person had a DCS complaint from their own stepdaughter of sexual abuse!!! and they placed her there until I found out and raised @#$$ about it. Then their response was "okay, we'll move her. We're sorry but in the case file it was never investigated because the daughter moved out of that home and in with her real dad." What the crap is that?? These people do nothing to help!!! WORTHLESS   WORTHLESS   WORTHLESS

 No this is when CPS should be called to investigate.

If you know all of this stuff then why have you not called CPS?  You are setting back and complaining and you know these kids are not in the right environment.  If this foster home is doing this and CPS finds evidence it will be very likely she won’t foster any more kids.  I am not trying to sound harsh but you are just as guilty as the kids doing the crime IMO by not calling CPS and letting the kids continue in this environment.  This is a prime example of people knowing bad living situations for kids but not reporting it.  What is else is there to do?  Blame DCS that will make it better.

  Someone I know her son was with the Daddy and he spanked him with a wooden spoon and left bruses on his bottom, DCS said ot was just a displin problem, this is the second incident with this person and they didnt do anything cant someone stop these people from letting child abusers keep the kids without supervision. 

[TIDDYBEAR]

>>No this is when CPS should be called investigate....... If you know of all of this stuff then why have you not called CPS?<<

     You then run your mouth and say she is as guilty by
not calling, and knowing of a bad situation but not
reporting it and "Blame DCS that will make it better."

     <shaking head>  Are you hard of listening?? Um, they DID call DCS to investigate.  DCS just didn't do anything.  What she said was "i have called and so has his mom but they don't want to do anything."

      *I* for one am NOT surprised!

For your Information I have called, my husband, my mother in law and even other neighbors have called they don't ever come out here. they came out once and took a four year old away from her and that was it i guess they figured the others are all 15-17 yrs of age and can take care of themselves. its horrible. A lady down the street gets accused of abusing her child and she never did... i know her personally...her daughter is 15 yrs old and wanted out of there because her mom wouldn't let her go out with a guy by herself. her daughter is a trouble maker even in school. she got into a fight in school my aunts daughter goes to school with her and saw it. she blamed the bruises on her mother. its horrible. the ones they really need to investigate they don't

[TIDDYBEAR]

>>The ones they really need to investigate they don't<<

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!  I have been screaming that and screaming that.  It falls on deaf ears.  Joe Blow out there just can't BELIEVE that DCS isn't this God given organization out there to help abused children.  They don't want to hear that they are an out of control money mill!!

Shakes head and rolls eyes  .  Thats why you keep calling until something is done.  A different worker may come out and the outcome could be very different.  Like i said before blame DCS its all you have for a scape goat

First off you are saying they are not coming out which is false.  When an allegation is called in someone has to report and investigate.  I am not sure what area you live in but sounds terrible to me if this is really happening (not the allegation DCS not coming out).    Another thing if a foster home loses a child through DCS (the 4 year old you stated) then I am certain they won’t be fostering again.  The 15 year old is probably in states custody because she is a trouble maker.

You have a lot to learn do you even have your GED?  Just curious. 

[TIDDYBEAR]

>You have a lot to learn do you even have your GED?<<

     Like it has anything to do with the conversation, I don't have a GED, I graduated from high school.  And went to college.  My statement stands!!  DCS is TOO busy hassling innocent parents (like us) to take care of the truly abused children that need their help!  I don't need to "learn" anything to know that fact.

  way to go Tiddybear DCS only harrasses innocent parents I was one of those 13 years ago yet that very year a child died because DCS took their time responding to an allegation. WHY DONT DCS DO SOMETHING BESIDES SIT ON THEIR TAIL END A ND ACCOUSE INNOCENT AND LET THE GUILTY GO? My middle son kept doing bad things at school and when he got caught he would get the blame off himself by saying I beat him and boy was knox count schools on the phone with DCS right then, they even today question my youngest 14year old aboout our home life. Which by the way he tells tem none of their business and we never taught him that he does it on his own.
