O..."Maybe I am reading this wrong..."<BR/><BR/>Yes, you are. Our job is to follow the rules. If we don't, we lose our license. We have to work within the guidelines we're given by the system.<BR/><BR/>"the parents they were more than likely ripped away from for some mundane dysfunction that we all have inside."<BR/><BR/>You mean the ones that got too drunk to wrap their Christmas presents a year or two ago, so they had to wrap them themselves? How about the parent we're working with that can't be bothered to stay home and visit with her child on the rare occasions her child gets to visit? Maybe the one that didn't get her child medical help when she was hit by a car, and it resulted in a brain injury that child will have to live with for the rest of her life? I have no problem with dysfunctions most of us have inside. I have them too. It's when people let them out, and take them out on the kids, that I start to object.<BR/><BR/>"most of the foster kids and the parents-removed we have now known have so many trumped-up charges told to YOU by the social workers, I would probably think the same exact things you do of their "dads" and all."<BR/><BR/>I make any judgements--positive or negative--until I either meet the parents or see records of proven fact. The incidents I speak about are real. If they're hearsay I usually disclose who said it (usually the child). I've had social workers screw things up enough times now to know to take what they say with a grain (or a shaker) of salt.<BR/><BR/>"It is so sad and shameful in America. I still cry MYSELF to sleep over it, and there's no one to come hold me."<BR/><BR/>Maybe you need a good foster parent.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565391786475786128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17048852.post-1166407967334049882006-12-17T18:12:00.000-08:002006-12-17T18:12:00.000-08:00Quote:" I will get one of them someday.

I already busted one of them for contacting her dad when she wasn't supposed to."<BR/><BR/>Maybe I am reading this wrong, but it sounds like pure personally motivated evil reading it just now. I feel for these kids, and for the parents they were more than likely ripped away from for some mundane dysfunction that we all have inside. Don't get me wrong, the real abusers should rot in the basement of ****, but most of the foster kids and the parents-removed we have now known have so many trumped-up charges told to YOU by the social workers, I would probably think the same exact things you do of their "dads" and all. It is so sad and shameful in America. I still cry MYSELF to sleep over it, and there's no one to come hold me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
