[@yangpaan453]

It doesnt really fail children, it has red tape and cannot do anything without enough evidence. I used to get spanked by my parents when I did something wrong, and at the time as a dumb kid I hated them for it. But looking back on it I turned into a well adjusted adult and rarely make big mistakes that I see most zoomers making. If I had the chance I probably wouldve cried to CPS and had they taken me away from my family I always would have regretted it. So it's a good thing CPS does not have the power to simply break up families because the kid asked them to. And it's incredibly ignorant to blame them for this situation.

[@CloudyOrchards]

@ciscornBIG My mother was a foster kid, she was lucky, my nana was an amazing woman and foster mom. Sounds like shes one of the few. There are... Horrible, horrible stories from so many foster kids, and CPS fails them time and time again. It's genuinely so horrific, and it's not changing. Its not quite a foster situation but a kid my younger brother knows took refuge at my parents place a while, but kept getting sent back to her very abusive(documented, she's got multiple assaults on file) grandma because CPS would rather "keep her in the family." And "not cause unnecessary trauma", cause y'know beaten little girls running half naked to a neighbors home at 2AM is clearly just a "misunderstanding" and "different generation" problem

I shouldn’t have been abused like I was. I shouldn’t have had to waste so many years trying to drink the pain away. I shouldn’t have had to do years of medication so I didn’t try to kill myself every waking moment. I shouldnt flinch everyone someone raises their hand at me.

I am from Utah, where this family is based, and I grew up in a broken household with an abusive mother that refused to get proper treatment for her bipolar disorder, PTSD and severe depression. CPS services were involved in my life for a majority of my childhood, and I can confidently say that CPS and DCFS are completely useless more than 90% of the time in Utah. The abuse has to be blatant, the conditions for the children have to be deplorable for them to even act, and even then they are lacking. We told them that we didn’t feel safe, that my mother would stay in bed for days or weeks at a time and leave me and my 5 year old sister to fend for ourselves, expecting a 7 year old boy to prepare dinner and take care of everything. When CPS would be involved, we told them we had no food and she wouldn’t feed us. Yet CPS fell for every lie and trick that my mother could come up with. They are incredibly unsympathetic to the child and will almost always believe the parent/legal guardian. All my mother has to do was maintain appearances when CPS would get involved and they would fall for it. Every. Single. Time.

They do not feel remorse and they do not stop when warned.

[@cklounge2096]

I feel the main reason nobody did anything for so long is because MANY MANY adults with kids who hate them have a 1950’s mindset where they UNIRONICALLY think emotional availability, food, and care will raise “a soft generation.” Realistically, Kevin probably took some sort of plea deal with heavy restrictions surrounding his children and the internet, since people would really prefer that kids don’t have both of their parents arrested. Since it was implied that the mom was the executor of most of the abuse, she’s probably the one people want arrested the most. The dad is just as wrong for letting it happen, but it gets really nuanced and complicated from here.

I lived in a household with an emotionally and mentally abusive step parent, who made it clear that she loathed my very existence (as did most of her family). Living in that house was fucking hell and I was basically the glorified maid and babysitter, who couldn’t do a damn thing right and would get screamed at for it, and everything had to be done perfectly. Then she would take all the credit for the things I would do, while telling everyone what an ungrateful, lazy, antisocial asshole I was, when I just wanted to make myself as small as possible and get away from all the bullshit. But trying to avoid the source of the problem apparent makes one a “hermit” and warrants more instigation. There were also a few nights I had “food privileges” revoked, because I pissed her off. (I was the scapegoat in a narcissistic family unit and my half sister was the golden child… for those who know, you know…) CPS got called a few times… but it was on my half siblings. Someone called in saying they were getting beat because they had bruises, when the reality was they would just beat the shit out of each other or jump off of the couch/out of trees and shit (because no one was watching them most of the time- something I’d get screeched at for, when my step mom slept all day) and CPS didn’t even acknowledge my existence, any of the times they were called out. In therapy sessions, she would sit in with me and pretend to be my best friend. Like, of course I’m not going to say, “this bitch has been doing some abusive shit”, while she’s in the room, but I didn’t even really register what was going on, either, back then, and that it was wrong, because it had become so normalized for me. It took me being out of the situation for about 10 years to realize something had been wrong. And when I came forward to family members about it, the biggest slap in the goddamn face was, exactly like in this case, them knowing (or suspecting) something was going on and doing nothing about it… And I get that there’s nothing to be done, now, but most just treat it like, “whoopsie poopsie. Our bad! Be like jesus and just forgive and forget, eh?” That shit just makes me even more spiteful, like wow… you suspected some shit was amiss and now you’re pulling the, “sorry fam. We good?”, card…

Speaking from experience as an abuse victim that faced similar "punishments" as the victims here, Ive been crying for help since the age of 9 and no one ever took me seriously. My little sister and I were actively scavenging for food and sneaking them into the house in order to survive and when I told our mom about it she assumed i was exaggerating because I was a kid. When i told my classmates about it they assumed i was lying because they met my father and he "didnt look abusive". I told my cousin, she didn’t believe me. I told my aunt, grandma, and grandpa how much i disliked my father because of his punishments and they told me he is my flesh and blood and i have to love him no matter what. Crazy thing is 14 years later after my mom finally realized that he was a piece of shit and divorced him, they still never took the abuse allegations seriously until THIS YEAR.

As someone who had the displeasure of working with CPS on multiple occasions, they are the most useless organization I've ever dealt with. They either ignore our calls about kids being abused by their parents or call the police on us for harassment.

The same family that refuses to feed and makes the kid sleeps outside.

I'm curious what industry you work in if you have to contact CPS but also are considered "harassing" them for calling, but I also don't want to make you say what it is if you aren't comfortable doing so.

As a former social worker... I think it's too easy. This is why 96% of our budget was spent on removing kids and only 4% on supporting families to become better. Worse one I've seen is a boy who came through my home. He was removed because he wasn't getting food. His mum actually called CPS for help because she had such severe depression and anxiety she couldn't get to the shop. Instead of helping her get the shopping, which she had money to do, they removed her kid. As a foster carer I ended up helping her to find a lawyer to get him back but it took 6 months and he had been through the dreaded group homes before getting to me. They damaged that boy so much. As a foster care I can say that foster care is often worse than an abusive home. I take the most difficult kids and I can point to two I've had who haven't been abused by foster carers, their kids or other kids in care. One of my kids had PTSD from the act of being removed.

[@jessbellis9510]

@@MrZoomah You ever think that so much money is spent on that _because_ it's incredibly hard to achieve? Also, as someone with major clinical depression who can't go off meds, I can say 100% that at my most depressed I was 100% incapable of looking after _myself_ let alone a child. Depression isn't something that just quickly goes away either. If you can't look after a child that is solely reliant on you, you shouldn't have them in your care.

[@MrZoomah]

@@jessbellis9510 No matter how much money it costs supporting families, it's cheaper than foster care and much cheaper than the torture placements known as group homes. (Which I have worked in for 3 years). Placing a kid in a group home costs $1800 in Australian dollars... per day. That's right. $650,000 per year. That's on the low end too we some estimates pushing $1mil a year. And in over 90% of cases the kid will come out with a criminal record and addiction due to the other traumatised kids they are placed with. (Note, it's similar in the USA but it varies by state) You could employ a nurse, a psychologist and a chef to spend 8 hours per day with the mum for the same cost as to put a child in a group home. (Not that I think that's what is needed to support a mum) So the cost of a friendly face coming around to drop off some shopping, or to even come around every day to offer some supports is nothing compared to putting a kid in care. People have to remember that most parents love their children. I've seen parents do amazing things...but only with help. Unfortunately, governments worldwide refuse to do this. In my area they reduced kids in foster care by 20% by a nurse visiting at risk mum's once a week for the first 6 months of the babies life. Post natal depression also fell in the area. They cut the funding last year.

She makes her 8 year old boy make food and care for the brothers/sisters she does have (she had 6 kids total, two taken from her custody). My wife’s mother has custody of the other two children of hers (one has autism, the other had his arm broken as a baby by his father). She took up for the guy that broke her son’s arm, and still defends him today. This p.o.s. has since moved on to another guy and popped out some kids to him. One day this guy was shooting a pellet gun in his backyard and left the children unattended. According to the p.o.s. Mother and father, their youngest boy ran in front of the father and the father shot him in the head with the pellet gun. The boy suffered a TBI and is never going to live a normal life without requiring assistance. His brother, the 8 y/o who has to cook and clean for his siblings, witnessed everything and requires extensive therapy. He went from being an ornery, playful boy to being mean and callous. He no longer has a youthful spark in his eyes. Instead, he has cold/dead eyes. The father and mother had the nerve to blame him for not watching his younger brother, and the father is constantly cruel to him as a result. Since then, he has become increasingly violent, and has even pulled knives and other weapons on people. I have no doubt he will turn to drugs and/or be a killer when he grows up. The father was initially arrested, but somehow got a sweetheart deal in court where he was only sentenced with probation and time served. CPS has been called on them numerous times since. They have done absolutely nothing to help those poor children. And she continues to collect from government assistance, popping out baby after baby. I don’t typically support the death penalty or sterilization… but just thinking of her being free while actively ruining her kids’ lives makes me think otherwise.

what saddens me about this situation is how i wish the teacher could've reported this sooner, they're literally mandated reporters for child abuse and such but not everyone can see the signs. i'm just hoping the children will get their justice and hopefully, get taken in by someone who actually cares about them. i don't trust the father at all.

About the sisters and saying they were keeping quiet to protect the kids: the way I interpret this, perhaps for my own sanity, is that they meant it in the same way that it's not wise to tell a friend's abusive SO that you're going to get them to safety. When an abuser gets the idea or knows that their control is in jeopardy, existing under them becomes so much more dangerous. I think the sister's statement means that they were not vocal and using their platforms to bring attention to the fact that they were making attempts behind the scenes to get those kids away from their monstrous parents.

I'm glad that this type of abuse is finally being cracked down on. I remember being 14 in school using my computer time to Google "is it child abuse to not give a kid breakfast or lunch money". I ate once a day for years, my dinners were portioned for me and I was not allowed to have seconds because I was not allowed to gain weight. I was just barely over 100lbs all through high school. I was not allowed snacks. And when I tried to become vegetarian I was starved for days until I agreed to eat meat. I was also forced to do intense workouts daily and was not allowed to stop running to take a break. Thank you for agreeing that this parenting style is disgusting and abusive, it was my normal life for a long time.

[@kenirainseeker539]

The sad truth of the matter is, the state doesn't want abused kids. CPS goes after normal families instead because they want healthy young kids to sell to the highest bidder. The state doesn't want to have to care for mentally/physically unhealthy children until they're 18, they want kids they can quickly adopt out and make a quick buck from.

[@kikidoesitall]

In many places CPS is afraid to do anything because well - look at the comments on videos of CPS removing children in a lot of cases and watch how many people say CPS is evil, CPS is child traffickers, this and that. Add to the fact that the social workers within CPS are woefully overworked, underpaid, barely able to make student loan payments (often they have to have a Master's degree for this absolutely thankless job) and have none of the resources they need to do their job the way it needs to be done. We can't blame CPS for this - society is the one who made CPS as non-functional as it is. We need to blame legislators for not funding them properly and as a society judge them fairly for doing the job instead of berating them no matter what they do.

[@probablyajaegerist7300]

This is so terrible it hurts to watch and hear about. The worse thing is these children will never recover. The first year of your life decides what connection you form with your caregivers. If they treat you properly, you feel safe, comfortable, and you trust them. If not, many many things can happen and affect you through your life. This changes the way you form attachments to everyone, even outside of family. And that’s just the first YEAR. The first 5-6 years are also so so important that you really cannot fully recover if abused during this time period. My heart goes out to these kids and I hope they find a psychiatrist/psychologist who they trust and can help them through this now and in the future. Bless these kids I hope they can find a new home they feel better in and can relearn how to love and be loved. Poor things. 💔

CPS/DCFS seldom does anything substantial in helping abuse victims. I would know. I dealt with them at 16/17 when I was being SA’d by a parental figure and abused in every other way by my mom. Despite them knowing that I was deeply traumatized and didn’t want to go back into my mother’s care, they gave me back to her since I wasn’t a legal adult and couldn’t live on my own, and there wasn’t any “substantial evidence” proving their abuse. Two years later, she wound up beating me in a drunken rage. I went to the police and she got charged with domestic assault and battery.

So keeping quiet doesn't make sense unless you've seen the parents behavior. Theres a good chance that if they stepped up and tried to stop it themselves, it might not stop the abuse, but it also might make it worse. I had that happen as a kid. Someone called out my stepdad for being abusive and instead of stopping because hed been caught, he just waited until we got home and he beat me and said that my behavior made him look bad. Abusive parents dont tend to see what theyre doing as abuse. They see it as a response to their kids behavior.

I wanted to get a degree for social work until I realized just how broken the entire system is. Social workers are underpaid, overworked, and constantly burnt out. And there are hundreds of laws about when and how we can remove children from homes. Most of the time, we aren't even given proper training -- we are pushed out into the field after three years of mediocre university classes and basically have to pray we don't fuck someone's life up. And that doesn't even account for the blatant racism that happens (black and native children are removed more frequently than white children, even if the abuse is less severe). I saw all that happen and went, "huh, I'm not gonna do this," and dropped out. I wanted to help people but it's hard to do that when the entire social system is fucked.

We had to go to court. Anyway, I CANNOT believe that cps will take a call from a Karen in our neighborhood into account, and not take legitimate calls of abuse into account. Cps has limited resources and it uses it on nothing. It’s infuriating. Even when I was 9 I kept on thinking “don’t they have better stuff to do?” Yes, yes they do.
