RE: The Huge Price Children Pay For Being In Foster Care.. Many For The Rest Of Their Life...........
You are so right, that CPS has a double standard.
They say that homeschooling is neglect, YET half of their foster children will drop out of school anyways!
I had not put that piece of the puzzle together before ... so Thank-You @curlfamilyvlog !
thank you
I agree she puts a piece of the puzzle together here, but when shown she's wrong why does she ignores it hoping it goes away. I think that's dangerous and detrimental to those you plan on helping. The problem is a lot deeper than the CPS, surely understanding this will benefit everyone?
I don't understand why you keep hounding @curlfamilyvlog. I had already read your interactions with her a while back and privately messaged her not to let your rudeness get to her.
She is a busy homeschooling mom, who is also a former foster child and a former foster parent, and therefore has first-hand experience with CPS-related issues. The @familyprotection account resteems and encourages stories like hers.
She had responded to mindhawk when he asked her to look into a particular case. She decided to take time out of her busy schedule and spend hours investigating the information that she was able to find online, and relayed her impression of what it all meant. She did not need to take this time to respond to him but she did. She is not claiming to be any sort of expert, and the fact that you found a different conclusion than her does not give you the right to abuse her as you have been.
Why would it be "dangerous and detrimental" to anyone for her to have a different opinion than you and mindhawk? You are expecting way too much of her and I don't know why.
p.s. mindhawk seems to think that @familyprotection is some huge organization that can travel around the world looking for families to help with CPS issues. He is absolutely wrong. 2 bloggers (myself and @markwhittam) started the account to share these stories from people just like @curlfamilyvlog. We have lots of people right here on Steemit undergoing issues with them who need help, but we do not yet have much Steem or other cryptocurrencies saved up to help even the people who have been sharing their stories first-hand and live with us. Plus any financial help that we would provide would be in the form of Steem and cryptos, not $US or any other fiat. So for you and mindhawk to demand that we thoroughly investigate a CPS case of someone not on Steemit, when we have no ability to help anyways is presumptive.
I'm sorry if i came across abusive as this was never my intention, so again i apologise. My concern is also with those families that have nowhere to go when fighting the likes of the CPS to keep their children. We all have busy lives and spend whatever spare time we have doing our research.
Why i'm so frustrated is the case she looked at is more important to family protection than you realise. I don't agree with what she wrote and tried pointing out CPS is not the main threat and helping families in the courts is a battle you can not win. The Handrahan case exposes everything the government is capable of and to what lengths they will go if required. This in my opinion is crucial to understand when going up against the system.
''Why would it be "dangerous and detrimental" to anyone for her to have a different opinion than you''. My opinion is irrelevant, all that counts are the facts. When shown there is more to this story than it seems, curlfamilyvog said research was what she was good at and would look into this further. All those involved with family protection naturally form the same opinion after her research, that's why it's so important all information shared is correct. Have you read my comment from 4-5 days ago? I think if you do you might understand where i'm coming from and why i can't stress enough how important it is that your group looks at this case. If you still believe there is nothing to look at i'm happy not to bother you again. If you are interesting in finding out more i am more than happy to help. As i said before my concern is with the families, plus i don't have the spare time to join any group.
You said:
I already told you that you are expecting too much out of her and I tried to explain how @familyprotection works. But you still think that whatever opinion she forms automatically becomes our opinion??!! That is RIDICULOUS! She writes articles using our tag and has experience within the system that we can all glean from. But we all form our own opinions. I sure hope that you understand that this time and that I do not have to repeat myself yet again.
Just so you know, I do not fully agree with all her suggestions in the original post that you commented on (before this post). @familyprotection resteems articles that are on topic, even if we have minor disagreements with them. Steemit and @familyprotection is a place for discussion and brainstorming.
We do not claim to have all the answers. If you think that you have some answers you can write a post about it and maybe people will discuss your ideas and counter with their own ideas.
The main thing that @familyprotection does is share people's experiences with the system so that we can all learn from it.
If you read my last post, you will see that I think the biggest contribution we can make is to teach people how to avoid trouble in the first place -- DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOME WITHOUT A COURT ORDER!

People are too trusting and think that CPS is there to help. @familyprotection is helping to dispel that myth.
Once they have already gotten into your home and started to interrogate your children and you, there is not a lot that we can do. We could hire good lawyers but that sucks up a lot of money and even when you get a win in court it is really a loss, because the whole family has already been extremely traumatized by being separated during the long drawn-out proceedings.
@canadian-coconut mam, i'm new this steemit from Bangladesh.
See my #introduceyourself and support me this platform.
I was wondering if you planned on replying to my concerns pointed out in my last post?
