Thanks for encouraging us to keep focused on this issue. I've seen a host of terrible tragedies, and honestly, they're definitely getting worse. People are seemingly more and more willing to watch liberties be yanked from them. And also to watch that gap between the rich and the poor grow and grow. You're right that poverty is a big piece of the problem. I was forced to work an overnight right after my boyfriend and I had split up, and I had to leave my then 13 and 9 yo's home alone. If I had been found out, they would have been taken for sure. It's such a horrible burden hanging over your head. As a parent, the thought of losing my children is worse than anything. That said, there's more than poverty. Those of us who choose to go outside the mainstream are also targeted. I had a friend who was investigated for over a year because she unschooled and wanted her daughter to learn to read when she was ready. When she turned 7 and hadn't yet learned to read, the grandmother called CPS. It's absolute insanity. In any case, thanks. I am excited to write about it. Still putting it together in my head.
