When a teenager runs away to avoid a parent’s structure, CPS forces the parent into lots of services. The same child runs from the foster “placement,” group home and the child is labeled with a military term AWOL. Its about the money and strengthening the system not children

ACS often places parents who has been abused by their partner under on going supervision, sometimes for years, even when there is a PO against the abuser. For Domestic Abuse Victims, Child Welfare Scrutiny Adds Further Trauma - The New York Times nytimes.com/2024/07/31/nyr…

Everyday I block emails from unwanted solicitation ads and they find another email address to continue sending the unwanted spam mails. I wish we could sue them for harassment at this point. I don’t want what you are offering; leave me alone.

There is a false belief that children are safe when taken into state custody and placed with strangers. But the over 800 lawsuits that have been filed by former foster children disputes that. Advocates for removing children for reasons related to poverty are ignoring that.

Judges be like, I’m afraid to sign an order to either keep a child home or return the child; b/c if the child gets hurt, I don’t want my name in the paper. But judges are never afraid to separate a child from their family, placing them with a stranger for the same reason. Hhmmm!

Can someone please explain to me - how a Judge takes the word of a child’s attorney & foster family to say the child doesn’t want to go home, but then in the same breath says the child is too young to come to court.

Wonder if Mayor Eric Adams is going to take today as an opportunity to dress up, and pretend to be someone other than his normal scary systemically problematic self.

In NY Judges say a 10 year old child is too young to come to family court to be a part of the conversation that will determine if their rights to be with, know and be loved by their family gets terminated. But those same judges will bring a child to court on criminal charges.

Congestion pricing began on Monday. My understanding is-fees for driving will be used to funnel money to the MTA. NY never thinks things through clearly. The subways that are not safe to ride will have money, but no one will buy cars for fear of not being able to afford tolls.
