As we say up here, You done good. People will always hate CPS because it sometimes takes children away, and there is nothing more painful for anyone than that. Our state tried very hard not to. Two kids who had been referred to CPS in the past year, though, died of abuse and some of that policy is being reviewed right now. Plus, finally, the state is coughing up the money for more caseworkers, which had been cut back so far we couldn't possibly meet our deadlines without massive overtime which they wouldn't pay for. I suppose we should have filed a grievance, but we didn't have time... we snuck in the OT anyway, but if we got caught, there was hell to pay.I don't need you to learn from me, nor do I need to research all the links to the documentation out there on the matter. Perhaps that paycheck you received as a CPS worker was a total waste.Learn? From you? From that poorly written rambling diatribe that you call research that makes bizarre claims that are not documented. The idea that case workers get paid for removing children is as stupid as stupid can get!Experience is a stout teacher to those who are willing to open their eyes and learn. Apparently deniers have a tough time with that process.I find it hard to believe that anyone would be stupid enough to believe this shit, but I was wrong.Stand by whatever you want but that doesn't make you right or correct.
Let me tell you something Bubba. I dedicated my career to protecting and helping children and I have a lot of good success stories . So do not fucking dare to suggest that what I did was a waist ! What the fuck have you ever done to help any body. ? I will not have a lying and delusional sack of shit like you tarnish and belittle the work that I, and many others like me have done. The crap misinformation and conspiracy horseshit that you spread undermines that work and puts children at greater risk. You re a fucking disgrace to humanity.
The last time there was a serious change in CPS policy in Maine, it was when a foster parent killed a child in her care. We bent over backwards after that to find ways not to remove children from their homes, or at least their families, if relatives could be found. The state also kept cutting back on caseworkers, saying other states could do it; why couldn't we?
I remember breaking down and sobbing one day when a second report came in on a baby, at the ER, who I had done an investigation on a couple months prior. I did everything "right," but I knew it wasn't enough and I just didn't have time to give it. Thank God that baby was alright, that time. No one realizes the weight we carry on our shoulders doing that job.
