This really burns me up
There are a lot of good, decent
people working in the foster care system but they are far outnumbered by people
like the clowns below in the AP article. Of course the fact that we pay the average
social worker about the same that we pay a fast food worker has something to do
with that.
Why did a 14 year girl hang herself?
Where was her social worker? Where were her foster parents? Where were her parents?
How come nobody noticed that child was on the edge?
I’ve said this hundreds of times;
if the average American knew what was going on in the foster care system they’d
call for blood. These are children we're talking about, not a bunch of soulless social problems and the guys that are supposed to stand up for them are largely idiots who don't really give a damn.
I came across this sentence today
“You are not what you have done. You are what you have overcome”. If I ran things, I’d arranger for
every foster kid to get that message.
Child welfare lawyers to judge:
We made a 'simple mistake'

MIAMI – Florida Department of Children & Families
lawyers told a judge they made a "simple mistake" when they gave her
incorrect information about the welfare of foster children who may have
witnessed a teen hang herself on Facebook live.
Judge Maria Sampedro-Iglesia had
ordered the agency to explain why they shouldn't be held in contempt of court
over a mix-up in identifying a girl who was in the home Jan. 22 when
14-year-old Naika Venant died. In a Feb.
28 order, she threatened to possibly jail the agency's top Miami attorney.
Attorneys said the children are getting the services they need and that the
agency never meant to mislead the judge.

One of my neighbors down the road has these midget horses, I've never met him but it occurred to me he might be a midget, how great would that be?

We went to a dog show on Sunday, Eli's mother, aunt and sister were showing. I didn't use a flash in fear of upsetting the dogs so the few photos that came out aren't very good, but anyway...
