This is a load of bullsh**. Parents should not be charged with kidnapping for taking their OWN child. CPS is not trustworthy enough to assume they were right taking this child from its parents. If Someone from the government tried to take my child, the slaughter that would result would make the world news.
I have to agree with 7:25am. There's not enough information as to why this girl is in danger. Reading the dispatch, it sounds like she's with her parents who are married (or at least were, given all three share the same name). Is there proof that the mother is an abuser or the father is a molester or anything like that?
I'm certain that there has to be something that caused MBI to put out this alert, but it would be nice to know why the state considers this little girl to be in danger when she is with her biological parents.
Oh whatever, 7:25am. We get it. You think you’re a badass.
@7:25 and 8:04
As horrible as it may seem DPS and ultimately the court does not randomly remove children from the custody of their parents. Something rather drastic has to happen for the child to be removed. Are mistakes made? Possibly so but not very often. You would know this if you had ever been able to be in the courtroom during a hearing. Do right by your kids and you have nothing about which to worry.
@8:40--You nailed it!
Well said, 8:55. CPS is not out to "get" parents and I can guarantee neither of the first two posters has any experience with them.
@8:55
They are required to take custody of a certain number of children to be eligible for government grants. I agree with 7:25. Any government employee that tried to take my child would be shot on site.
Whenever a non-custodial parent/parents take a child, there is usually anger and vengeance involved. Alcohol and/or drugs are almost always involved to a great extent. If alcohol/drugs are missing, then mental health issues are probably present.
I’m gonna side with the commenters of blowing these beaurecrats away. So & so is in the graceyard, daddy’s in the pen type stuff. I have a good friend whose daughter had some markings and no one knew where it came from. Cps came in and investigated and determined it was doings of the grandmother who is now no longer allowed around the child. The mother is devastated as she knows her mother would never hurt the child, holidays are fudged up, etc. grandmother is totally broken and ashamed for something most of us who know the folks are certain she had nothing to do with. It is her only grand child, granddaddy is dead, she basically just got ex communicated from her family based on the thought process of some double digit iq gov. Employee
11:17 - I totally disagree. I'm trying to put myself, mentally, in this scenario of having my child taken by a state agency. Anger, vengeance, drugs and alcohol would not be involved. I'd simply be distraught at the thought of not having the one thing I love the most by my side, under my care, in my house. And once I realized that it was real and was not going to change, I'm not sure what I might do. I do know I could not simply 'accept' it and I might act out of desperation.
So, your final grade as to your psychological profile of the parents is D-.
