Paranoia icant spell it , but I have it , i have been harrassed for 6 years , they kept coming by to asses things and check out "allegations" i dont care what word they use its accusations , I fought like a pit bull and proved myself innocent TEN times, and I remember saying how many times is it gonna take for them to get it? I might not be so great but for God sake I'm not the worst either. I had a theory if they came over snooping and prying 6 times 8,,, 9,, 10,, eventually they would find something, catch me on a bad day ect, and they did. keep rolling the dice eventually you'll get something, so one day they came and said the usual , we need to asses the safety of your kids, I refused , repeatedly, turns out , later i discover they were looking for drugs, this particular time, and agin they did not find what they were really looking for, wasn't the safety of my kids , I know that, so they nailed me for a dirty house instead. which by the way I disagree with. I have to pretend i was wrong and agree to their suggestions and pretend they are right, when in fact i believe that my dirty laundy does NOT pose an IMENENT danger, or an immediate danger , or threaten their lives , or cause serious health problems. Of course i am not going to tell them I think they are full of chit. my kids have never ever been ill. common cold once a year maybe. they have had MINOR injuries , like all kids , and I'm pretty sure my laundry and dishes didn't cause those. tey have phobias listed as real medical conditions like arachnophobia(fear of spiders) claustrophobia(fear of small spaces) ect.. we all have a real fear called cpsophobia.my thoughts are still if they could do it once they could do it again, and I notice how many people I know who have been "investigated"it's a lot. i see commercials a lot if you don't like the law change it, the child protection act needs to be changed , the government funds need to be stopped , but what law can we work on passing state by state to control cps, cut their power. lets not forget reporters only need a "suspicion" to call. my God doesnt everyone see that ANYthing could be suspicious? and reporters do not understand that if they call in a suspicion of say a kid with bruises being beat on, they figure well if the kid is not being beaten the nice cps folks will go away , they dont realize , when they come if they cant get the parent on beating , they will nail them for something completely un- related. OR the parent has a totally reasonable excuse why the child has those bruises , and they insist it is something else. We have concidered moving into a new place , because it would be clean and new, or moving to another state or even out of the country. then I think, if my house is acceptable now ,, and we dont let it slip from the last time they said so, we should be fine right here. I think it is real hard to have all of us living up to someone elses standards. for me i took some drastic measures , i threw away all of our clothes , nothing to pile up. i kept enough outfits for say school, and a few play things. everything else poof. we can afford closets full,but too much laundry, i did the same thing with bedding, we all have 2 sets , thats it.same thing with dishes , gone , no extras , so if you need a drink , better wash a glass. i have everyone in the house helping, which is a plus , because before it was all me. so the dishes and laundry are under control, i wash the bathroom, kitchen , dust, mop and vacume every day , thats it . the kids do chores , make their beds ect. i will not kill myself , i will not have a heart attack from stress. we use the dishes at dinner only, we use paper plates otherwise,:) these people do not work on sat, so i take sat completely off , for me , bath , hair, nails , hang out in the park with the kids , movies , wutever , sometimes i will pick up on sunday in case of an early morning visit on a monday, but usually not. i work mon- friday , just like they do. take ONE day you are pretty sure they are not coming ,for yourself , i say sat , because on sunday you will want to catch up. i could go on all day , but i have a saying sometimes I remember it . they will NOT break me , they will NOT win, I will NOT yield. when u get depressed and your crying in your damn never ending laundry , say it! I hope anything I have babbled on about helps ~Kelz~
There is a foster parent locally who has (KNOWN to CPS) left an infant foster child in a running vehicle while she went into the store. She has also left her foster children in her vehicle AT the CPS parking lot while taking another child in for visitation. But, CPS just says Oh, gee, someone should talk to her and let her know that's probably not a good idea. Ya think?!?!?! Had it been a bio parent, those children would have been ripped out of that home in a flash! The double standard is amazing.
