No she should not have a childcare license any more, especialy now. I am wondering, did this lady want to retire but still needed income so she began taking in foster children? She must not be able to think clearly any longer if she left these children unattended. This is the problem with the system. These caseworkers could care less about the kids or who they are leaving them with. Yes, they should be arrested. Why not? Maybe they would think twice about taking the children who don’t need to be taken from family, maybe they would pay closer attention to the kids who have been abused and that need placement by not puting them in other dangerous situations. I also have to wonder, is this the first time she has done something like this the these kids or others that she has had in the past?

I think the caseworkers should pay as well as the person who left them at a casino.

But more importantly is that cps caseworkers should be the ones that pay the price for leaving them there.

Maybe she was forced to take them since there aren’t many foster parents out there.

Linda, what about the Asst. Principal in OH who baked her 2yo this week in her Mercedes SUV parked outside her school?

She had been warned about leaving her child in the car in the past few years.

Were she a young, unemployed Mom with a minority ethnicity, you can bet the child would have been seized by CS in Ohio.

Thanks to you , Linda, who have worked tirelessly on behalf of *good enough* parents who are not members of the old boys club, to impart basic education to them.

And folks remember that family members are entitled to foster their own kin in many states. Why don’t cw’s do their jobs with some adherence to Federal regulations?

The lady who left her child in the car should be prosicuted to the fullest. How does it take 8 hrs to deliver doughnuts into the school? How could you forget your child? Its an out rage that she is not in jail now, nore was she charged with endangerment or neglect. In Amarillo if you leave your child in the car for any amount of time CPS comes and takes the child away. They had already taken away 5 children at the beging of summer. I can’t say I don’t disagree just because people continue to kill their children by leaving them in cars.

Oh and Fern, maybe Ohio is differant but ethniticty and unemployment doesn’t matter, trust me they take your kid here no matter color, religion, or what working class you are. Maybe Ohio is differant but Texas doesn’t care. In fact in the case I experienced they even told one of the attorneys that the father couldn’t have his duaghter because he thought money could buy anything in their openion. Just because he did have alot of money and was able to inquire and hire the best of the best attorney. They had differant attorneys calling every day and they couldn’t stand it. But they were actually descrimating toward our family because we do have money. It goes both ways!

All C.P.S workers should be accountable for neglect and ignorance of the law as for that case worker that gave a 78 year old a foster care license needs to be put in a mental institution for psycological diagnosis it sounds like the worker is no better than the old lady when it comes to using her mind.

My newborn daughter was taken
from the hospital based on lies
and exaggerations that the doctors
at the hospital told. Of course
cps lied in the petition. My case is
a dependence/neglect. My daughter
wasn’t negelect. They assumed
so they took her from the hospital.
The case is based on my so-called
mental health issues. I had a couple
of suicide attempts a long time ago,
but have been doing fine for a long
time. My daughter is now four months
old and is attached to the foster
guardians. I don’t go back to court
until January. I don’t understand
how cps can get away with lying.
