RE: The System is Stacked Against Parents (FamilyProtection Series -- Anna's Family Story Part VI)
Wow. It sounds like the courts and the judges have been bought off in addition to the social workers. The cards are stacked against families and children. I would like to think there was a time we had good judges and good courts. We didn't get this way over night. I know here in the United States we have the Supreme Court that is a check and balance. I wonder if they have ever heard any CPS cases. I also wonder if we have anything like the United States Supreme Court in other countries as a check and balance for this crap. That is why we must make sure to vote for good judges. It is my opinion that people do not check the background so judges when voting for them. And also sounds like the system needs a complete overhaul. Anna's story brings tears to my eyes I so fear that this tyranny and terrorism will spread to other populations the senior citizens and the middle aged. It's interesting they chose to first pick on children. Children are helpless and it seems like only a coward would choose to attack and destroy a child. Thanks for sharing
At least in my state, Therapists, social workers, caseworkers, GAL's, and most public defenders work for non-profit organizations. This means they will get paid the same amount no matter how large their caseload and no matter which way the case goes. This gives them absolute freedom to do what is best for the client and the child, not what is best for their own wallets. I have seen, however, lawyers and at least one therapist for-hire who have dragged out the case - likely for their own benefit. There are some things that simply should be non-profit (like health care).
