Children are Our Most Valuable Resource in Our Country

All Families, including Foster Parents have one common concern--the Monopolizing effects of the Child Welfare Agencies against Families all in the Name of Child Abuse. Consider these Facts, gathered over the last few years:

What’s Wrong with Picture?????


One report has stated that 80% of Allegations where false-What's Wrong With This Picture?? (Please check out this story used by a volunteer editor for a Foster Parent Association, who was fired and a few months later, False Allegations were charged… Learn More)

Most Child Abuse reports, based on Child Welfare Agencies Figures, only take percentages from allegations reported. However, if one takes figures based on the number of families with children in the US, real child abuse is about 1/2 of a percent.

However, the Child Welfare Agencies highly publicize the unfortunate incidents. How many times have you seen an article that talks about how families in need or any family are doing a great job with their children???????? I'm still waiting and looking for those articles. By all means, if you find one e-mail the link to me and I will feature it on our Good Newsletter.

Yes, there is true child abuse. But many states CW agencies are taking the stand, if there is even the slightest hint, ie reported allegation, there must be a problem and children must be removed and we will determine later. Is this right???

Seems like the Social Workers missed Family Class 101 since everyone should know, ever time a child is removed, this is very traumatic for the child. And the damage done by this can be even worse than the so called abuse.

1.    Federal Funding for Child Welfare Agencies has been decreased over the past few years-What's Wrong With This Picture???

2.     Child Welfare Agencies receives $2,000-$6,000 every time a child is taken from their family-What's Wrong With This Picture???

3.     62,000 Foster Parents are leaving Foster Care Nationally each year-What's Wrong With This Picture???

4.     Asked 100's of Foster Parents if they had bio, guardian, and/or adopted children while being a Foster Parent and over 80% said yes.
Child Welfare Agencies are the lead agency that handles the Children for Bio Parents & Foster Parents-What's Wrong With This Picture???

I have been a Foster Parent, now retired, and now GranPa to a three generation family. Had many heart warming stories of reunification of children to their parents. However, my wife and I asked too many questions about the system and care of children. Got on CPS's Black List and a shotgun effect of False Allegations were charged against us. What started it, an active 3 year old had a small bump on her head, where she fell down. Sound Familiar??

Until we have Families working with Families in a Holistic approach, there will be no changes to strengthen Our Families in need. Government Regulations and Laws are NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!
God Bless GranPa Chuck..
