68 - Have you ever heard of Logan Marr? She was taken from her mother because her grandmother "didn't like the way her daughter raised Logan" (although there was zero proof of any abuse, neglect etc). CPS came in after the first complaint and seized Logan without any further investigation. After a while, she was put into foster care. A CPS worker fostered her and her sister then decided she wanted to adopt them (which is against policy in CPS, but they didn't care and ended up helping her adopt them faster). Long story short, one day 911 gets a call and turns out the CPS worker restrained and suffocated Logan with duct tape at age 5. So no, it's not always better.

87- if you read some of his other comments, it seems like he has no respect for female parents.

87- I had never heard that story before but it's definitely horrendous. I cannot even begin to IMAGINE the pain and suffering that poor child went through, as well as his real family after he was taken so abruptly away from them with NO good reason at all on CPS' part. Unbelievable. What a horror - this is why I fear for my child, as I love him so much, and would never want to get on a family member's (or neighbors) bad side and for them to do this sort of thing to us. 110- Uh, maybe it's YOU who should go back to 1st grade. The other person could have very well been on the application version of this site, where it does not immediately show gender in posts. Also, you obviously can't seem to grasp what's actually going on in this FML, and by the way to keep talking about parents (especially the "female parent", from your other comments), it seems like you need to start thinking about therapy or some other form of help. This extreme hatred you have towards parents, saying that they do not love their children and treat them as a toy, is not normal. And you're upsetting a lot of people here. You need to re-read what you've posted and maybe think about how it may have affected others. Just trying to help.

The uncle died 2 years ago, not necessarily IN the bed. The boy would have been 5 and at that age possibly transitioning from a toddler bed to a "big kid" bed. The uncle's mattress could have been relatively new, before he died, for all we know. Throw out a perfectly good mattress because someone dies (not necessarily IN it), or pass it on to someone who could use it... Hmmm, doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. Guilia needs to get off their "female parents are horrible" high horse and go see a counsellor for the issues they are harboring.

Ugh, 69, just fall off the face of the planet please. Everyone's done with your stupidity.

112 - I.. Uhm.. Wait, what? Your comment made no sense. You basically just proved my point, in case you didn't notice.

Haven? I think you mean Heaven... You should really stop commenting and save yourself the embarrassment of being called out on every single comment.

Giulia, you obviously are holding onto resentment for something that has happened to you, or someone close to you, and have not resolved it within yourself. Rather than bashing on the parents, as you have been doing regardless of the actuality of the situations, why not consider the facts. It was a misunderstanding on the part of the teacher. There was no real harm done to the child - in this situation (and in quite more than you'd like to believe when it comes to CPS investigations). I'm not the one who is crying out foul to assumptions of bad parenting, not caring/loving, less knowledgeable than "professionals" when it comes to raising children, etc. That would be you. I would be willing to bet many would agree with me in saying you should talk to a councilor/therapist about your blanketed resentment issues towards parents... Either that or you just need to reach a higher level of maturity and start using your cognitive thinking skills before spouting off at the mouth (or keyboard as the case may be).

.... And I wish my phone would make up its mind on how councellor/councillor/counsellor is spelled.

Giulia276, you're really in no position to comment about someone being retarded. Haven's comments have been reasonable. We're judging you by your comments and they are, ..., well, using your own words, retarded.

I came back to see if Giulia had replied another ridiculous nonsensical statement, to find her posts all deleted... at that time The Zombie's "She's Not There" started playing on the Pandora channel I'm listening to.

(Ran out of time to edit)... Of course with Giulia's comments gone, it makes our replies to her seem a bit non-sensical. Oh well.
