I hear from an old friend and trooper

Subject: Trouble with Child Protective Services?

My case ended on January 31, 1999, but the consequences did not.

Thank you for keeping me in your email list.

On a positive note, CPS was a large part of the reason that I began school as an undergraduate, and receive my AAS, BA, and now MPA. Law and policy is what has driven me. Interestingly, my youngest son majored in cultural anthropology in college, and he went into this for the same reason I went into law and policy. Why do cultures believe what they do and how do certain institutions come to exist? How can an agency list this exist with so much power and so little accountability? Who would have ever thought that we would ask the same questions and go in such different directions?

(My older son was pretty much destroyed by CPS, is now 27, lives in a group home, has never held a job.)

Fondly,

Same here with the one CPS "protected". He does get to eat all he wants, watch all the porn and violent horror flicks he wants, gets all the dope he wants, sleeps whenever he wants, and certainly does NOT have to put out an ouce of effort. I don't know, but I will bet that a maid cleans up his room and washes his clothes too.

Communism has worked well for him.
