Born into poverty doesn't mean one must remain in poverty. In my day there was no stigma as many were poor. Today the stigma is harder to overcome than poverty itself.
My family was poor growing up, but not the "crushing poverty" that you are using as the standard for argument.I guess since you are incapable of intellectually trying to understand it that experiencing it might be the only way for you.
And I said much not all of poverty is caused by moral failing of individuals and government. You then changed it to suit your argument.And did i say otherwise?
Why are you making shit up and arguing as if I said it?
I said you people think that being born into poverty is some sort of moral failing and yo don't realize the effects of crushing poverty on children.
People born into that kind of poverty do not have the same chances to succeed and if they don't succeed it isn't because of some moral failing.
I actually lived on the streets for almost 3 years as a teenager.My family was poor growing up, but not the "crushing poverty" that you are using as the standard for argument.
Me at 11. Many wore hand-me-downs at that time. Did you ever have to dress like this?

that’s an option at times too, at least in my state.I have thought for a while children would do better in staffed homes like orphanages, with good oversight.
How much?And I said much not all of poverty is caused by moral failing of individuals and government. You then changed it to suit your argument.
not sure what state you live in but CPS needs a court order in my stateYes, I'm a teacher also, and I know teachers who have fostered and even adopted students who were in need of families. If I said that "all" foster families are evil, I must have not been quite awake. Tell me the post number, and I'll correct that.
I know that it is common that adults who report having been abused as children say that the abuse happened in a foster home.
Having a child taken away without a court order by a CPS worker with a gimme degree in social work is a frightening possibility that could happen to any parent who has a conflict with a neighbor, or a school, or anyone else willing to make a false report of child abuse. The fact that any children are abused in foster homes, turns that possibility from frightening to terrifying.
I agree completely.
At least two, and preferably three adults should be on duty at all times to monitor the children and each other. Allowing couple's to have control over other people's children with no supervision is asking for trouble. Crazy finds crazy and we all know couples who have resulted from that. Nothing prevents those couples from becoming foster parents.
True. My father and stepmother did this. I was shocked as neither were good parents, and it didn't end well.There are those too. And there are foster parents who just take in foster children for more money from the govt.
I've only mentioned it here, never to someone's face. If some poor person is offended they can respond to me in this thread.How much?
It's not even most.
Poverty is self perpetuating as those who are brought up in such conditions have fewer opportunities, sub par education and have to put up with people like you who tell them that it's probably because they are people of weak moral fiber.
It's Texas and here the removal can come first and the hearing later on.not sure what state you live in but CPS needs a court order in my state
Bullshit. You believe it so it shows in your behavior just like everyone's beliefs.I've only mentioned it here, never to someone's face. If some poor person is offended they can respond to me in this thread.
I do understand it "intellectually". I don't fully understand the reality of it and cannot unless I experience it, "crushing poverty" that is.I guess since you are incapable of intellectually trying to understand it that experiencing it might be the only way for you.
certainly there can be. emergency orders…like when mom and dad are busted for running a meth lab and they need to do something with the kids…so a full hearing can happen later but an order is needed and can come from a magistrateIt's Texas and here the removal can come first and the hearing later on.
My 'behavior', through taxes paid, supports programs for the poor. I also happily contribute to charities that aid the poor. It's my duty as a Christian and a privilege as one who is financially well-off.Bullshit. You believe it so it shows in your behavior just like everyone's beliefs.

I’m not sure you all have considered this. Right now, there has to be an abusive or dangerous environment before CFS can take a child. But if we start to take children for any old reason we can think of. Have you really thought it through?
A woman from CFS shows up. Sees posters on the wall lionizing Trump. Decides the parents are unsuitable and takes the kids to prevent them being brainwashed.
It will never happen you say? Are you sure? Start moving the threshold on when you can take a kid and you will see it.
Why would I voluntarily add to it through charitable contributions?Paying taxes under threat of arrest is hardly charity.
You get no credit for paying taxes because you are forced to do so.Credit where credit is due.
I take credit for helping through those programs.You get no credit for paying taxes because you are forced to do so.
