Judge Boyd is poetry in motion, always 💯 dedicated to trying to better this sometimes sick world and to right the wrongs done to those who suffer from bad and undeserved behaviour of others. I can’t imagine why people think she won’t follow through on her orders, she will 💯 because she cares!

[@lanapace1047]

Glad the judge has the backbone to drop the lid on CPS too.

[@ellendickey4769]

Yes! As she often points out, when she was a defense atty. as well as a prosecutor, she learned what CPS is supposed to do and why, when, and where. Don’t try to bamboozle Stephanie Boyd. 😀❤️😀

When do we all just stop paying taxes to get this crap in line? Lol, I'm totally just kidding...

[@nevermind5321]

I do NOT like CPS. They’ve f****ed up many times causing children to die because they deem unstable parents/ home safe or they take children from a home that is safe and put the children in foster care. There’s many untrained workers who don’t know what they’re doing and I just don’t trust their decisions. This is only my opinion, I don’t know what I’m talking about really.

[@chineseworkethic9]

I don't know. I worked with a caseload and I had 400 people. So unless Ms. Boyd wants to increase resources on her dime, there are a lot of issues that can affect the amount of time you can spend on each case. I'm sure they are overworked. But I agree CPS screwed up.

You are incorrect and as a caseworker you should know that resources and time is scarce. Unfortunately that is the way of the world. Most of the resources we have are allocated to dire situations.

I think the first case worker seemed high herself. The second case workers seems to be on point, even though this person just showed up and was not assigned to her. I think the second case worker, simply relied back to the original case worker. Which is very sad..

[@DavidWilliams-yo9um]

This is the kind of Court I work in, child abuse/neglect, and I've seen how CPS has failed so hard on some issues, but overall they've helped and done as much as they can. They aren't paid enough and are so very overworked. For example, as of September, in my county, there were 890+ active ca/n cases and only 19 social workers for CPS for all of them, this is one reason things fall between the cracks. And, believe it or not, this is a fairly tame court room for abuse/neglect cases, many times it's having to stop so that the parent settles down and will listen to the Court.. Cheers to the Judge, reminds me so much of the Judge in my Division.

Thanks for bringing awareness, Mike. I code medical charts for a living and have seen this so many times. Moms coming in positive for drugs or alcohol; newborns going through withdrawal, born premature due to in utero exposure, etc; young children and teens being admitted for psychiatric treatment due to history of abuse (physical and sexual) and neglect, addicted to drugs themselves, etc.; children, teens, and adults coming in after suicide attempts…even the elderly. These issues don’t go away. They need to be addressed and dealt with as soon as possible or it ends up in a cycle. 😢🙏

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Absolutely, your comment is spot on! Thank you so much for your work, but especially making people AWARE by your comment alone :)...

[@cheriremily9360]

In order to break the cycle means that education is the key and when you have religious beliefs dictating that's not going to happen. We both know that woman like the defendant got pregnant merely because she wanted to plead with her belly. Most children are born into hostage situations to people who only want what they can get out of the state and/or partner.

[@TexasQuailGirl]

Texas CPS is definitely overwhelmed. It has been privatized in the last couple years and has been a detriment to the department. My caseworker (who is awesome) bent over backwards for my foster kiddos and I. No longer a foster parent because I adopted.

[@bend3rbot]

Privatising Welfare - it's the future propounded by the G.O.P. as being the cost-effective future for services. And yet Texas ' experience is a poorly funded fail-project, with only the lives of children relying upon its integrity and successful delivery of competence.

She kept a straight face while the lazy CPS workers testified, but she was furious. I was an RN. We were overworked, but did our job. Peoples’ lives depended on it, just as these children’s lives depend on the probation officer and. CPS workers. Which one did her job?

I called ocs(louisiana) on a girl that i sponsored. I told them about physical abuse, no food, neglect....they did nothing. I called 3 times over 6 months and the kids are still there😮

[@projectionv.accountability1010]

CPS is a disaster of an organization. My husband's ex called CPS on us over a dozen times for things like "pulling loose teeth too soon" and "boogers on the wall". They were all dismissed, until enough spaghetti was thrown at the wall and she was able to convince their 9 yr old to say my husband "punched him in the chest". Even with zero evidence, because nothing happened (we actually had cameras up to protect us, but the judge denied them as evidence), my husband went to jail ... because though they'd been dismissed, CPS was able to testify that they'd "been called to the house many times". It was a hellish, scary time for all of our kids, my husband fell behind in child support (because jail) and ended up losing his license & passport, which he needed for work. We lost almost everything, it was pure unadulterated hell and I still panic 6 yrs later when someone rings our doorbell. Then I see sh* like this and FAR worse cases- like that lesbian couple who murdered all their adopted kids- and I see an absolute trashbag of an organization. My experience and my knowledge of others in my area is actually not that of neglectful workers, but that they have to find problems in homes or they'll look like they aren't doing their jobs. There is too little oversight of their power.

OK Show me evidence of your last three tests right now, or you're taking this oral swab. If you refuse, it gets reported to probation and the judge. / Your "paramour" has been accused of SA against your kid? You have 24 hours to get your kids away from him or I'm filing an emergency motion for removal. / The one worker didn't know how long she'd worked with this defendant, how many times she was drug tested, what services she was doing, when she visited, etc. What the actual Hell?
