As I have pointed out innumerable times, child welfare, particularly in Oregon, operates as a human trafficking ring.
Incompetent, malicious, criminal workers abuse children....while failing to rescue even the most horribly abused. 75 percent of sex industry workers got their start as minors...in state custody.
The state maintains they need more money, more *intervention* but in reality it's their *interventions* that are victimizing the children. It isn't that there isn't enough of these scumbags, it's that there are too many.
"...DHS places these children in inappropriate institutions, ships them out of state where they are placed in costly and questionable for-profit congregate programs that do not address their needs, or largely abandons them so they wind up in homeless shelters or on the streets.”
"The complaint also says the state’s foster care system is so bad it can’t accurately track how dysfunctional its services are."
"Kylie, 7, and Alec, 8, are also siblings. They have been in the care of DHS since January 2019 after allegations of neglect and abuse. The state could not find a substance abuse program for their mother to enter, according to the lawsuit. Both Kylie and Alec are very bonded to their mother and removal was traumatic. In two months, Kylie was moved to five different places, Alec to four. Kylie ran away and went back to her mother’s house at one point, according to the lawsuit. Once they were dropped off with a foster family on a Friday afternoon. The new foster parents didn’t have their last name or their insurance information. When the foster parents tried to take Kylie to the hospital because they were concerned she would hurt themselves, they were unable to fill out the appropriate information and could not reach anyone at DHS. Both children also had lice, visibly crawling on their heads, which was not treated for six months."
