Child Protection

[Joe_in_RP]

Many people in North America are unaware of the problems in Child Protective Services.

The feminist movement has painted ALL men evil and coined the term dead beat dads.

I suspect this will be a long thread.

I have a friend Mike (please pray for him) who has 3 children. He has no job. He used to drive a truck but got behind on the payments and it was repossessed.

The courts don't care. If the men don't pay their child support they go to jail. Mike has friends like him who consider suicide because they don't want to go back to jail.

People think the debtor prisons have been done away with. No they just have a new name. Please investigate this for yourselves.

The only reason Mike is not in jail is because Detroit is so bad and so many can't pay the judges don't fill the jails with poor fathers.

So last week my buddy goes to apply for a job at a truck repair facility. The owner is very impressed with his experience likes him and almost hires him. But because mike has CPS on his back the owner will not hire him. Its a paperwork nightmare for his office people.

Now how is that for a kick in the seat of the pants? Mike is depressed. More about this topic later.

Now the London Telegraph and the Guardian are reporting on new powers the CPS will have there.

Worst families in Britain will be put in 'sin bins'

Tens of thousands of the worst families in England are to be put in "sin bins" to improve their behaviour, under a government scheme.

Published: 6:32PM BST 22 Jul 2009

Under the Government scheme, members of "Shameless" families are given intensive 24-hour supervision to make sure children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.

Parents are also given help to stop them leading dysfunctional lives and to combat drug or alcohol addiction.

Now some may think it good for the government to take control. I urge you to investigate the history of CPS.
