What the hell am I talking about? Texas is one of the worst states and there are multiple organizations fighting CPS everyday... I have been in family court too, and listened to the lies, the delaying tactics and the other outrageous behavior of these CPS workers, so I'm sure you are more aware of this than you are letting on...
There is no panacea in any state agencies, which are charged with managing abandoned, abused, and neglected kids. It cost between 2000.00 to 5000.00 a month (per child) for the state to place kids who are not considered to be "special needs". Those children can cost a state 10.000 a month and up.
Most CPS agencies are working on a shoestring budget. Caseworkers might carry 50 plus kids. They work endless hours. They are significantly underpaid. The burnout rate is like 3 years. The paperwork produced on each kid per month is beyond belief.
My point is that there is no conspiracy at work here by agencies to abduct kids and make sure that their lives are miserable. What possible motive do you suspect is at play according to your claim?
Being under CPS manage is the last place kids need to be...granted.
But I assure you that I've seen many, many, many abusive, neglect, etc parents lie their asses off in court. We live in a world where not all things are equal by any stretch of the imagination. My role in representing children was to do just that...I worked for the kids, not the CPS, not the state's interest, not the parents. It might amaze you that some kids being a ward of the state are safer. And believe me when I tell you that I'm not a fan of children being away from their families. But when their families are the source of their being physically and mentally disassembled and exploited...just know that there are a hell of a lot of people who should never have the right to reproduce.
