Letter To CPS: Child Abuse Needs To Stop

To Whom This May Concern:

This is my open letter to the state paid workers who swore to protect the children of the world. Just a minute as I get comfortable, this is not going to be anything nice. You social workers go through years of school, trainings etc so you can get a degree and be able to put on your "super" cape and fight off the bad guys aka abusers. However someone where along the lines you begin to use your powers meant for good, for evil. You stop caring, you take off your cape.

As the author of this blog, I become attached to these children through their stories of beatings and torture and the one thing a majority of them have in common is the states failure to protect them. One case in particular, Gabriel Fernandez. If CPS is called 65 times, then that alone should be enough to remove all children from that household. That, I have a problem with. At what point is no longer about the children? At what point do you stop giving a damn? What class was that in your training? My question is simple, are you human?

So how can we fix this? How do we get you back in your "super" cape? You wont like my answer...criminal charges. Not a suspension. Not a paid leave of absence. Nope, criminal charges. If any CPS worker is called because of suspected child abuse or neglect and there are obvious signs of abuse and or neglect and the CPS worker fails to respond accordingly and as a result a child dies, that CPS worker should be charged with child endangerment and serve whatever that charge carries in that state. In my opinion, a CPS worker or 65 CPS workers who ignore signs of abuse are just as guilty as anybody else who witnesses abuse and does nothing. I am looking into getting that law passed.

Child abuse must stop. And if that means making examples out of bad social workers in order for the real super heros to do their jobs then so be it. It is about saving the lives of our children. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes that same village to keep them safe.

Sincerely,
B. Marie Austin
