Brenda's grandsons were taken from her and given to an abusive father and then taken from the father the very next day. That was a neat end run. No reason could be found to take the boys from the grandmother so they moved them to the father.
Betty's grandsons were taken away from her. One of the boys learned to smoke marijuana while in foster care. Then, after coming home, he was found to have been on marijuana and placed in another foster home in which there was a boy who had been busted for smoking marijuana.
Cindy has her daughter and grandchildren in a trailer on her property. CPS continues to try to remove the children from her though there is no charge against her or her daughter.
Andrea : CPS tried in court to remove Andrea's two year old because there had been a case of domestic violence in the home when he was six months old (which he did not see.)
Christine was placed in a foster home at the age of four and is now the single mother of five children, at least three of whom are in foster homes. This is the multiplying result seldom thought of, but highly beneficial to the federally funded FIA and very costly to the tax payer.
Ron's grandson was taken at the age of five. The FIA in it's twisted reasoning would not give him into the care of highly qualified grandparents. He was returned to his mother over two years later psychologically damaged.
William had a step daughter whom he was accused of molesting. He was proven innocent, but the stepdaughter, who was an honor student, after being removed from the home by CPS, is now a dropout living with an older man. The fastidious CPS people don't seem to mind that.
The majority of children who "graduate" from foster care when they become adults are misfits in society. They are homeless, unable to work, dropouts from schools or are in prison. Supposedly the government is the expert on raising children, far better than parents (in their minds). Actually, when it comes to raising children the government is a proven failure. If there is any doubt about any of these examples, these people would be only too glad to speak to anyone. But it might be wise to stand back ten feet or so.
In almost every one of these cases, if the families had just been left alone, they would have worked things out. FIA interference caused endless confusion, loss of money, heartaches and harm, mostly to the children.
