I realize that CPS is probably under-funded and short-staffed. And, that they try to do a good job. But, clearly, the process isn’t working.

I’m a firm believer in better safe than sorry. In too many cases, if CPS would have taken the children away from an obviously bad situation, these children would be alive today. Possibly in foster care, but at least ALIVE.

Why do these women stay with these monsters? Perhaps because they figure any man, no matter how evil, is better than being alone? Or, they are just too young and immature to know any other way. Or, they are just too lazy to get off their butts and DO SOMETHING. Who knows?

I knew when my husband started abusing me, it was just a matter of time until he started beating my son. So, we packed up what little we had, in the middle of the night, and left. My son is now a successful, well-adjusted adult.

I strongly believe that in such cases as this, the mother should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, as an accomplice to murder.
But, sadly, we all know what will happen.

Add another one to the list...top news story today is a mother (so called) and boyfriend who have had the dead body of a 6-month-old baby in their motel freezer for a year. When is enough enough?

The child in the freezer is so macabre! I was investigated by CPS once. My husband and I went to Louisiana and left our daughter (who was 2 at the time) with my mother. She had been drinking and Brittany had to go to the ER because she had a seizure. Since my mother was drinking while babysitting, CPS investigated us. Needless to say, that was the last time she babysat. Anyhow, they made one visit to our home and after checking Brittany out and ensuring that she had no bruises, etc., they never bothered us again. That one visit unnerved us, though. That is why I cannot imagine that some of these child abuse cases go as far as they do, with the child ending up tortured or dead. I never abused my children and it took that one incident for CPS to come calling.

This is a major problem all across the nation. In my opinion the women that put themself and their childern in these scenario have very low self asteam, or may be on drugs and let there men have control over the house hold. My husband is a step father to my oldest daughter and beleive me I had a hell of a pregancy and my baby almost didnt make it so if he ever yelled at her inaprperately or put his hands on any of our kids in a physical way you would proably see me on the news and he knows it. But that is aside from the noramal disaplin like taking their stuff away when acting up there are otherways of disaplin then hitting your kids. Now when it comes to the CPS agency I am not sure they do a thural examination in the house hole just asking question is not enough when being investagated I beleive the investagator should be in the house hold for at least 2 hours out the daybut I understand the time and effort that would take. I know people who were taken from a unstable house hold and the foster home they were sent to was no better. One of my friends was raped by her foster parent and nothing was ever did about it. There is no way around this problem you can tell some one how to treat their kids but you can advise them right from wrong, the situation of child abuse and neglect should come to an end because childern are defensless and it is not their fault they are learning the rope of the world. But we as humans and peolpe of the community can only inform people we cant stop the abuse untill we know it is happening!!!
