I am at it again. I can’t get over the facts, statistics, petitions, bringing awareness to America regarding our civil rights and violation of childrens’ rights. Yes I get that parents are distraught, so can you imagine our children. In a way, if I have to look at the bright side, even though it is very dim, the bright side for me, was having a say in where my children were placed. As soon as I seen that my family called cps, I signed over my rights.Still under cps provisions, they tried to take my daughter after she was born, and tried putting her in a foster home. I made sure she went home to her brother and sister. Once again, abortion not being an option, when my son was born, the father of my oldest son adopted my baby, after finding out his girlfriend couldn’t have any of her own.
Not everyone had it as good as I did. I pray and thank God if not for his grace, it proabably wouldn’t had happened that way. I remember being on the streets and just being fed up. I’d call my mom, crying like a baby, wanting to give up. She would put me on hold and as soon as heard my son’s or my daughter’s voice, I could feel the pieces of my scattered brain being put back into my brain. There would be a moment during my time on the phone with them, the crying stopped, the world around me was ignored or non-existant. Those little voices put my shattered self back together as a reminder of what I am here for.
The pain and suffering has turned into anger. This anger will turn into something else if I allow it. My dream, goal, mission, strive, maybe it’s my destinity or fate will have me do something to change the main foundtion the department of human and health services established the children’s bureau. Those were a different time. The 1800s were different times, but guess what, things haven’t changed. There are still, if not more, people homeless, there are still disabled not receiving their benefits. Elder not being cared for. Foster kids in the 1800s were immigrants who really didn’t have familes. Instead of taking them from their family, they were looking for families to adopt them and the same time making sure they foster and adoptive parents weren’t going to put them to labor.
I have slowly been putting out spurts of facts for people to kind of understand here cps is coming from, as far as the history goes, to get insight on why they need major training and develpment. Social service, much like teachers, need to have a purpose as to why people ask for the services deemed rightfully theirs. If they forced the homeless into homes, I wouldn’t be mad. Or made everyone without income receive GA automatically. Wouldn’t that make social services mad! How about we make a law to take children away from the foster home. I wonder what cps would do if there a mass raid on all foster care facility, every group and residential home, just intrude into their lives making sure our children aren’t being abused.
I have yet to come up with bugdet to work on the the root of the problem. It is in the making, I just have to piece it together.
