services etc
Why should the tax payers have to fork over so much money to provide so many services to some of these people. It is crazy that our govt is giving 14 yo's the opportunity to parent using my money.
I saw that timeline listing out all the steps and how harrowing it can be. While they are going through these steps they can be working a job even if it is min. wage to help pull themselves together. They can do more than 1 step at a time. Imagine all the people who work and go to therapy and evaluations??? Why can't those that want to get their families back together do the same thing? There needs to be some motivation on their part not just sitting back and moaning about all the things they have to do to try and get their kids back.
I parent, take my a daughter to therapy because she was left w/ a 14 yo mother too long who messed her up so much had two children taken away at birth and they left her there, in a home where she was abused, neglected, and starved. This "family" had all the services and yet Mom still chose to spend the taxpayers money on drugs and alcohol instead of caring for her 3 year old. My dau knows how to treat a hangover! Isn't that great! Good thing so much money was spent on this waste of a mother- she should have been sterilized after her 3rd child before 18.
We also go to school functions, activities, are active in the church, place an emphasis on learning etc. Why can't someone who has lost their child and told to get their act together do 2 things at once? There is no reason except that they are not motivated.
Also, when has is become the responsibility of the taxpayers to continue to take care of these people. If you are going to be "adult" and "responsible" enough to bring a child into this world then you should take on the responsibilities of this child. It is not the taxpayers responsibilities. There are far too many brood mares who show no sense of responsibility and just moan about how their children were taken away. They don't care about the child at all - they care about the money they are getting for the children.
The real answer to the problem is that if you want to parent then you need to do so on your own without all the federal assistance but if you want to raise your children using the taxpayers money then by all means you should be scrutinized to the max. Adoptive families and foster families are. Far too much. If these same screening processes were in place for bio families we wouldn't have the amount of abuse that we do.
