This is a political issue too technically. Accountability. They need to pass laws for it. With very strict penalties. It's their job. WTF?!!! And often it's more than one worker. How can YOU ESPECIALLY FAIL A CHILD?!!!
I agree but since when does our government protect our people and especially children, elderly, etc.
Part of what started SOME of this is years ago I believe it was the Clinton Administration offered extra big money for states that adopted out so many children a year. The catch of it was to get that money each following year they had to adopt out as many again AND surpass that number by how many. WELL you can imagine what that did to corrupt agencies or ones wanting that big money, etc. and Cali is one of them. And where the West boys were was VERY MUCH ONE of them (the agency). They basically took these two boys and where they were to be fostered and there was every chance the mom would get them back and there were family members AND fathers that could have taken them, etc. and they somehow let the West ADOPT them and faster than what is allowed if I recall. ALSO Jacqueline and Trezell had NOTHING, no jobs, no home, etc. AND three children of their own and other foster children. Not a thing about them would have been approved to adopt in the days we remember and most people think still are the case with adoptions (it isn't, it isn't at all like it used to be).
So these agencies get big federal extra money but do you think it goes to training more social workers, etc. or such? When does anything in a government office or agency go to such things. It goes in pockets or to the higher ups, etc. So many people say the issue with CPS agencies is not enough workers, not enough help and that they need more money. NO that isn't the answer. First the money doesn't go where it should imo and SECOND if they can't do a decent job or do their job WITH ANY CHILD or check on them, etc. then they sure don't need MORE that are trained like this or told to do this or whatever goes on.
And THEN people think when you have adopted children there is no money like there is with foster care. That IS NOT TRUE either. There is financial benefit. It is really really hard to find even on the internet, I don't think they WANT the public knowing but it is HARD to find. Maybe it's gotten easier to find now, not sure. I looked har more than once over the years and FINALLY found some things on it back when the West case was hot.
We don't know it but somehow apparently loser abusive parents KNOW THEY CAN GET MONEY for it.
I hate to be cynical but this world is so many years past where anything could have been turned around it isn't even funny. On to top of it all they keep us too divided and too busy dealing with our own ******** and red tape in life to do anything about anything else. That's my opinion. And while doing that (and many just give up and care less about following it, caring or taking care or helping anyone but themselves and their own). I'm sidetracking but feel it is the truth.
It takes constant yelling and constant never letting it die and making it big. The West case was the most overboard YT and SM (beyond okay with some doing shows) and now it is hardly followed. All were yelling then about the agency, the parents, etc. and now it is hardly followed that I can see. They wait for the hubbub to die down like about that ROTTEN agency, etc. There were people like daily yelling in front of the grandparents' home for months, etc., one of THOSE cases. Off the rails. Now silence even during the West trial which ALL WANTED but also it was kept pretty quiet from arrest to trial for the most part and the trial was going on when our other big ones were with NO cameras, etc. and not the news of the day compared to the other ones.
Okay now I am really sidetracking.
This agency with AJ imo is another one that should be destroyed and ALL FIRED, all higher ups for SURE. ANY worker who had ONE time looked at his case or handled it. AND BE PROSECUTED criminally. NOT JUST THE WORKERS. WHO was OVERSEEING THEM?
I need to stop. Just got done with a 10+ hour day and have another tomorrow that starts even earlier.
Trust me in that I am not going to shut up about this stuff when I see it either BUT it isn't like I am on many places online or in life I can make big waves about it or have the time and that's sad. Some YTer needs to do a channel just taking things like this up becuase MOST PEOPLE AGREE WITH IT. About sentencing, what is going on in our courts, about early release over and over for felons, etc., etc. ABOUT child molestors, murderers of children, failure in our system to protect, etc., etc., etc. and make it just a platform about such things and get a big following and keep it growing. They need to be like one of these laywers that are on or someone that won't get zany, off the rails, go beyond what will work. Logic, common sense, fairness, JUSTICE and expecting our government and our agencies to do their jobs, lawmakers and judges, etc. too. Most of them touch on such things while talking of cases here and there but it isn't enough. It needs to be a movement. And you know what, that's probably a DREAM, a fantasy and I'm cynical. Never used to be but when it comes to this stuff I am...
And again I need to stop. I have like no time and right back to work in few hours and haven't even taken my shoes off yet. Sigh.
