RE: We are Family Protection, Keeping Families Safe, Together.

Having seen how the numerous DFPS Offices are run, the lack of professional training, and how little some of the DFPS workers care, I like the fact that someone is actually looking out for families.
When my wife and I opened our home to foster children eight years ago, we did so with the desire to give love to children who had been abused and neglected by idiot parents.
What we got were children who's parents loved drugs and alcohol more than they loved their children.
We would take those children into our home and give them love and shelter, hoping that they could move to a better home where someone would just love them. Instead, what we watched, was them being forced to go back to parents who were still hooked on drugs and alcohol.
Now, keep in mind that DFPS isn't perfect. For every child that they manage to save; once they are in a foster home, DFPS really just wants to maintain the status quo. They don't really help the parents out, or if they do, it's often substandard help, and if there are medical concerns, DFPS would rather let the child suffer than get medical treatment.
What I would dearly love to see happen, is for the people to step up and help the families that are going through rough times. I would love to watch addicted parents get help with their problem, and for the children to go back to the parents that they love.

If the system actually worked for the betterment of the children, it would be great, but since this is government we are talking about, it's not. It's about justifying why DFPS must be around.
