However I know you are not up to speed on the title iv federal funding being used to legally kidnap non abused children so the states can make money. <BR/><BR/>Please begin to educate yourself by looking up Senator Nancy Shaefer and read her page including the articles.<BR/><BR/>I bet you will be SCHOCKED!<BR/><BR/>LouiseZoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137007897874209945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9217353884669167836.post-38204179580944473842008-03-03T12:01:00.000-05:002008-03-03T12:01:00.000-05:00Doesn't the government need to put more money into...Doesn't the government need to put more money into the system to help children? Aren't children worth the money? Do you prefer we put more money into this War? As a foster parent myself I see workers who are overextended and overworked and most likely underpaid. People who have to leave their jobs after just a few years because they are fried from overwork and disappointment when they can't do enough. They are given huge loads of cases even though study after study suggests each worker should only carry 10-15 cases I've never met a worker with less than 30 cases. Then who gets blamed when a tragedy happens? The workers who are really just trying to protect the children. YES there are many bad people who foster for the money (foster parents) but there are also many good foster parents who work hard to help these kids. We just want to protect and help them. Many of us go into foster parenting just to help the children even though we know we will be hated by many who do not know us.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's time we hold the bureaucrats up to the light for more inspection. What are they doing to help improve this situation? Stop blaming the workers and foster parents and enable the system to do it's job by not overloading it so much. Money is how this gets fixed. Money and education over time so less people will neglect and abuse their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9217353884669167836.post-75402091058359050692008-02-12T23:51:00.000-05:002008-02-12T23:51:00.000-05:00It's all a public relations campaign to get the go...It's all a public relations campaign to get the government to pump more money into the system. Forget about the fact that they've taken so many kids that they have to lower their standards for foster parents to warehouse them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
