When the government has no oversight this will happen. It’s not the first time and children have died under DCS care. They should be charged but won’t be because public officials have qualified immunity
That part made me tear up. I'm a mother of 3 and I'd never deprive my children or their friends of food. I grew up poor and remember what it was like not to have much food in the house and always being hungry on Saturday mornings with nothing to eat. Just breaks my heart.
Me too. 💔 That was pure fear and she was talking to police, knowing they could leave and punishment would begin. What a mind f*** to have chips/food in the house but the kids couldn't eat.
The first half got me teary-eyed but that second half where she said "I love you too because you're saving me from this house" was the part that broke my heart 😮
Right , when I was a little kid and cps came to my house because my mom bf was super abusive they asked us if we get abused in front of my mom and her boyfriend.
@@kooolllkatscat7830 that’s awful, I’m sorry for whatever you’ve gone through. Take this as a reminder that there’s people in this world that don’t even know but have love for you and care for you💗
Right! My mother was a foster parent and she had to keep the kids in the school they were in prior to being taken away...we once had siblings at school HR away n guess what?! My mom was doing that HR drive to and from school until summer came! Just shows how some case workers dont give 2fks about their job or protecting kids!! Makes me soo mad😠!! Its bad enough being in foster care but to have the ones who suppose to " help/ protect" them completely IGNORE THEM....Dcfs, Cps, ect. DO BETTER!!😒😞
@@Nikkole_B Your mother sounds like the right type of foster mom. Lucky kids. I am sure lots of parents like yours or just your mom made sacrifices to help young children. We only hear about the horrifying cases I guess. Your mom took the kids in knowing about the extra responsibility is amazing. God Bless all of you.
@@missmissy_90 ...Thanks i will definitely show her ur message she will appreciate it but ...yes, and then the appointments they have which we live in suburbs n they are all in city (like dr. Therapy ect) she even had to take them to places the social worker tells u (which were places just taking govt. $$ n not helping the kids at all) then visits with parents. Its a lot and those who are in foster care for the right reason do A LOT! So to think these kids were taken out of school n no one said anything or noticed at DCFS OR CPS baffles the hell outta me n shows just how they dropped the ball big time. They owe these kids for the lifetime of therapy they will probably need!
@@missmissy_90 definitely a red flag doll,why do they not realise that is a huge problem especially AFTER the the school made a report. Not my job syndrome..
@@Nikkole_B My respect to the super mums 🌹💪🌹 The most honourable and self sacrificing action a person can make,when it’s done right. and,your mum OBVIOUSLY did it right ❤️💖♥️ Again RESPECT from Yorkshire England 🌹🌹
I don't see 14 kids being fostered as that bad as long as the kids are close in age honestly and school age you simply need to feed them and give a crap about them🤷🏾♀️ People had lots of kids back in the day the problem isn't how many kids she has its about dcs dropping kids off and never checking on them truly
They'll take kids from a loving home because the parents smoke pot, yet they'll leave kids with an abuser when THE KIDS THEMSELVES ARE LITERALLY ASKING FOR HELP????
They take kids for even less than that. There used to be a web site a friend who had kids going thru it that exposed the kickbacks they were getting privately thru terminating parents rights for u abused kids and small kids or infants. Another one which idk if it's around anymore used to be honk for kids .com
Omg when the police was asking what she wants to eat while they waited and the absolute TERROR in her voice "she'll smell it on my breath" That's heartbreaking. Hopefully they can heal from this and get the families they deserve.
Those aren’t mistakes!! These authorities need to take accountability seriously and stop lying. Fire every one. That’s the only way to solve this problem.
No, they need more workers. DCS workers are extremely overwhelmed and overworked. These kids were neglected and the woman probably hid it well. Because abusers know how to hide things. I know this personally
Questioning the kids in front of the person that's being accused of abusing them, is PROOF of a cover up. Period. Heads need to roll big time. CPS takes kids from their homes and puts them with strangers who do THIS! Smdh.
When I was studying to be human service, our instructors told us to never interview the kids in front of the parents or someone can change their opinion.
"She's gonna smell it on my breath" Oh my god, that is so sick. Too scared to eat because she's afraid her mother will smell it on her breath and beat her.
How could they leave those kids there after they say things like That? I guess I would have been charged with kidnapping because those kids would have come home with me
@@Ephesians5-14 This was when the kids finally _were_ taken out of the home. You can tell because the police officers here actually sound much more competent (“No, I’m not gonna tell you what was said because this is an investigation.”) and empathetic.
@@Ephesians5-14 Yeah. A lot of people got confused because there was another officer who responded to the boy running out of the house naked to escape a beating, but still left the kids in the home after the fact. Because, you guessed it, "unsubstantiated". He was the one who got "ten hours of suspended pay", about a single shift's worth of money.
This is seriously so sad. The part where the kids said that they didn’t say anything again because the cops came and did nothing... that was heartbreaking.
Wilma Perkins The cops could have launched an investigation for child neglect now? Being as though they’re all government employees, I’m sure they had some pull.
As an adult who was severely abused as a child, I can’t tell you how many people either seen it or I told, no one ever helped. This makes me sick as I am 50 and nothing has changed
it's hard not to think that way. i think that a lot. but things are improving. it just doesn't feel like it because these crimes have to be processed and studied before we can start effectively preventing them.
@@franettesparks9949 thank you, I m happy to say that I have turned out great despite it. Made me stronger. But most importantly a better parent than I had ❤️
I'm so sorry this happened to you too. It happened to me as well. Everyone in my family on BOTH sides knew what was happening but no one did ANYTHING to protect me. Made excuses, kept quiet, even enabled and protected my abusers. Every single adult should be a mandated reporter of child abuse. If they knew it was happening and did nothing they should be held accountable. Even if it's a stranger seeing it happening. Every adult is responsible for children because children have no rights and they can't be their own advocates. Same with the disabled and the elderly.
How was she ever approved to be a foster Mom? She could barely move, breathe,the house a mess. The 10/13 kids where slaves to her that she used to help her while she sat on the couch 22/7. And it's evident who ate most of the food and why it was stocked so well. But there are many more bad foster parents and caseworkers know it & still place kids in their home.
Now charges needs to be brought up against the DCS and POLICE. They needs to be held accountable to the FULLEST. Start charging these people when they don't do right or ignored complaints. That WOMAN looks evil and stop giving people all those kids just to collect a pay check.😠
DCS can't just take kids or they will get accused of being child kidnappers. They have to do due diligence and substantiate accusations and follow state statutes which give Arizona parents a lot of leeway. Because of those factors it is very difficult to remove. There has to be very dangerous immediate threats to safety (needles on floors, guns laying around, etc). If you want different results give them more funding so they can reduce their caseloads and change state legislation.
Those kids would literally be homeless otherwise. Sadly, no one wants them. There are many good foster parents, don't judge the whole system off one person, that's exceedingly ignorant.
@@allaboutroofing2 There are a lot of bad people in the foster system and a lot of ok people are are just insincere. Plenty of people trying to make a buck off of fostering and a lot of investigators with the state know this and are generally harder on foster parents or adoptive parents than they are on genetic parents or relatives. The issue is that the child to caretaker ratio is so high and until Arizona dedicates more resources to supporting parents in general (drug rehab, therapists, financial support, educational support, etc) the issue will prevail. Arizonans want to cheap out on issues and hope it will magically take care of itself.
That part right there cannot be made up. That baby has EXPERIENCED that. Kids don't just make up something so small and specific to be afraid of. That witch has made them blow their breath on her so she could prove they ate the food. My heart broke into a thousand pieces when that baby said that. 😭😭😭
The system fails alot! Me and my brother went threw in our home mental and physical abuse. As well as emotional. To this day my mother will always try to remind me as a 36 year old woman that no 1 can stand me, no 1 wants to be around me. While I attended school, the staff wasn't of any help either. If anything I was condemned more so by the attendant of the high school office. My mother bullied me alot, in every way just about. This woman at school reminded me that there was no help for children "like me." She hated me since I was gradeschool. I went to school with her daughter and she didn't understand my home life, and why I'd come to school acting the way I was treated. She was a woman who was constantly involved in school and became a employee when I got to high school. Never gave me a benefit of a doubt nor help! I covered my bruises and more than half the time, didnt show up to school! I can honestly say the female principle at that time, "was the only 1 to ask questions and investigate." After she realized what kind of parents I had and what I was going threw...she didn't report it but no longer tried to have me treated differently. She worked with me to finish schooling and get out of there! Thank you, Mrs. Meade if you are reading this. I have not forgot you!! 💜💜
When that baby said " I love you too because you are saving me from this house" I cried so hard!!! I don't understand how someone can hurt innocent children who just want to be loved😭💔😭💔
@@Leeohlin89 ...BUT when it comes to an ADULT, who should know right from wrong, THAT goes out the window!!! So many of us mothers have been BROKEN, mentally/emotionally/physically abused, r@ped, mole$ted, etc....AND STILL HAVE BEAUTIFUL, LOVING RELATIONSHIPS W OUR BABIES, AND WOULD DIE TO KEEP THEM SAFE! Hurt people *DO* hurt people, *BUT* HURT MAMAS(w a heart anyway) LOVE HARDER, AND TRY THEIR DAMNED HARDEST TO KEEP THEIR BABIES SAFE AND DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER FOR THEIR BABIES TO *NEVER* GO THRU WHAT THEYVE BEEN THRU. 💯🤷🏽♀️🙏🏼
Omg that broke my heart too poor baby. What a shame to be scared to eat . Clearly that woman was only taking in children for money. That police officer showed her more love in just a moment then sadly she had seen or felt in god knows when. I wish I could hug the sweet little girl.😭
I feel for the girl in the pantry eating chips and crying. I remember having to only pee just a little at a time so it wouldn't be noticeable in the toilet, no bathroom privileges were sometimes a punishment.
I’m a survivor of terrible foster conditions as a child. This woman was in it for the money not for the love,care and support these children needed. This is terrifying for children but they will hopefully get through this like I did. Trust will be restored and I hope and pray that whoever has them now, never betrays that!!!
Lt Turner was already under internal investigations at the time, she has since been let go. Officer Takagi was arguably new at the time and made a genuine mistake.
They NEED to be charged because they are just as culpable as this neglectful authorities that failed the kids. How the hell is it just a suspension? Then, they have kids that shouldn’t be in the system that are being harmed when services aren’t being provided for those needed. They should have seen through this bitch’s bullshit manipulation.
@@rotweilerdc I don’t doubt it happens on a daily basis. The cavalier attitude of DCS and the police department proved that point. That’s why it is critical for people to advocate for these kids and put in the leg work necessary to change the laws. The police and social service should be held accountable criminally and civilly for BS like this. I don’t understand why laws are not on the books dictating standards and what will happen should they violate the law. AND sentencing guidelines dictating how many years imprisonment or whatever, should they be convicted. Until that happens, the same toxic cycle will continue.
Unbelievable!!!! That got me! That child should have been removed on the spot and taken to McDonald’s to eat or something so she could privately talk and feel comfortable that her abuser isn’t in the other room!!!!
100% agreed. I was thinking the same thing. And who the hell let’s 1 woman have 14 kids. Day cares can’t even do that. It’s 5 kids per adult. Such a shame.
I will donate to their legal fees hands down, these children among many many others deserve to be heard. And any CPS services should be charged and jailed for child endangerment
Wth is money gonna do . Money don’t fix mental illness or ptsd. I hate when something happens n the first things u Guam’s say is well they will get money . Like materialistic things is going to cover or make them for get the truma 😒
This was heart breaking to listen to. That poor girl at the end saying she loved the officer as well because he was saving her, practically ripped my heart to shreds. I hope that all these children are re homed to loving families and get the help they need after experiencing this vile woman's abuse.
Exactly! They need a settlement after that treatment. They didnt receive adequate education to give themselves the rght jumpstart on life. They've been failed on so many levels.
I agree! I am dealing with the same kinds of things now! With my kids, and even my friends' kids I am sure!! Its corruption! Its evil people selling other innocent people out to these demons! They will all go down man! I ain't afraid of these dam bigots and bullies! Their crazy ass nut bags!!
@@christinanelson7081 ...Im not sure if its the wine Im sipping right now but Im dying laughing @ "crazy ass nut bags." In all seriousness (even tho Im still laughing) I hope you all are able to receive some kind of compensation for your pain and suffering.🙏🏾
I'm so damn sick of hearing about DCS and their mistreatment of children. I wouldn't be surprise if some of those children start attacking the people at DCS or their abusive caretakers
@@LeeeroyJenkins I've never seen a huge uproar and nationwide protest to save all these children and make changes. Until we care more about the children then all of the other nonsense people protest over, politicians will do nothing. Society has to stand up, together, and say we will not accept this.
Some of these so called foster parents haven't been vetted, and the dcs caseworkers are hella over worked. Ten to one it's an administrative issue, because NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT 6 DAMNED DAYS ON A DCS WORKER TO SHOW UP FOR EVALUATION OF A COMPLAINT. REALLY??? 6 DAYS??? I'm surprised ALL the kids weren't dead by that time.
I have known people that had really delinquent Foster kids and they LIED to everyone and the police and child protection services that they were being abused, when they were actually stealing from their Foster parents and being violent. The Foster parents couldn't have kids and just wanted kids of their own to love. Of course this isn't at all what happened here but in most cases there needs to be hard proof of abuse or else any kid can cry wolf if they have a tantrum to get the parents or Foster parents in trouble. But this case was just handled horrendously and those kids were failed in too many ways. There was more than enough evidence on multiple occasions.
Not true. I worked at a residential facility. Kids would call the hotline on staff they didn't like, just to spite them. They were always unfounded because there was no physical or camera.
💯.... & For the ones saying that kids no how to work the system, I mean come on there was reports after reports & nothing done about it. They didn't even really check into anything & that's the main thing they should have did. Yea, kids lie but when there is more than 1 child saying the same thing, there's something wrong! Also, her own biological daughter was even reporting it & telling them they should be taken out of that house.
Young children don’t typically lie about how they’ve been treated. If a child tells you something, IT IS TRUE until proven untrue. They’re hurting, they’re looking for help. Even if they don’t tell you exactly what’s going on
I was one of these children back in the 80’s DHS didn’t do much about anything. By the time they decided to take action I was 15 and having my first child 🥺 I’m still healing from neglect 😮💨😪
100% AGREE! My kids lie about little stuff, ask them if they ate a cookie, noooo. Ask anything serious they tell the truth! This made me tear up bad! I hope she got hers! Omg!
That’s not always true,,, children do lie and make stuff up,,,, i know,,,, out of 5 relative children 1 was a liar to be evil,,,grew up and did time in jail,,,,, the other child told whoppers for fun!!! Yes children lie
She's dead so she can't be held accountable BUT everyone involved needs to be in jail. Children should not be treated like this. Children are to be loved and cared for. Not abused
I agree. Each and every worker (officers, CPS workers, etc.) need to be charged themselves. The fact that dcs not accepting an interview and denying sharing any records tells us something. They are hiding something.
The police told the little girl while waiting would she like some chips. Nooooo, she'll smell it on my breathe. Gut wrenching. The mom kept a stocked fridge and pantry but withheld the food. Sick. That's one reason why she got away with it for so long. They only expect the child to have a roof over their heads, food in belly and clothes on back. A decade of calls and nothing happened. So 😥
I personally understand this situation and what those kids are going through because I was abused in foster care at the age of three and taken away from my mother from a mis-altercation regarding bruises left on me from playing outside daily and they didn't even come to ask me how I got them, just woke up and random people knoked on the door and told me to go with them, didn't know what was going on but my mom told me to go with them so I did but I got back with my mother after 11 months but Ironically she was in a toxic relationship with someone and I'm pretty he was abusive to me because his kids will say something about me to get him to disciplinet me no matter how dumb there story was and how much I caught them in a lie and even called it out I never won and I was so called disciplined with hard almost full power hits 2 to 4 days a week for 8 years and because I had all these bad things happening so often I just assumed that was just life for me... So I know how this stuff can happen for years because of cruel selfish lies
None of these kid services do what they are supposed to. Ive called CYS on a child in my preschool class who also happened to be my neighbor, so at that time I had both a personal and professional view of the child. He was always screamed at, never spoken to nicely, he was allowed to play with broken glass outside in their yard. The parent never cleaned it up and told him to "go play." Their house from what I was able to see was atrocious to the point where when they moved out, the owner of the house actually did a full demo on the inside and sold it. There were other things too that I won't discuss. Anyway, so I called about him and they never came to check. No report was made and after they moved I lost track of him. So sad.
I hate humans, but I love the angels that walk among us thank you for trying miss and as a mother of two boys I support your efforts to try and protect those kids. Utilizing your mandated reporter obligation in situations like that. So many DO NOT.
@@crystalrosas6052 I explained in two parts of my post that he had moved and I lost track of him. Should I have followed him??? I didn't just "give up".
A child, with fear in their voice, said "she'll smell it on my breath." That is absolutely evidence of withheld food and harsh punishment in itself. I can't believe this---- I mean, I believe it happened, but it's disgusting that it did
Only a sociopath can listen to that and do nothing. I’m a grown man and damn near cried when I heard it. I would of stopped at nothing to help those kids and I like to think I’m not the only one.
This is heartbreaking!!! These kids were left high and dry with so many incidents to intervene. It’s disgusting the incompetence shown by that office. These agencies dropped the ball over and over
Uh, actually we would not even have DCS and foster care if parents were not Abusive! If we didn’t have so many shitty parents this would be a non- issue
There are so many people who should never be social workers and are probably abusive themselves at home; therefore they over look blatant abuse. How do they justify not removing the children when the abuse is so obvious. The mother was sitting there looking 400 pounds and denied the children food😡. That was a form of torture to let the children see all the food but they couldn't have the food. Everyone failed those children.
That completely broke my heart to a million piece...I will never understand how anyone can do such things to innocent babies..I woulda taken all of them an ran...I hope they are receiving some much needed therapy,
I wish the officers would have showed their love rather than claim it. Those kids have heard it all. It only serves to salt their wounds. “I love you.”
I grew up in a foster care home and was adopted. I was lucky enough to not experience much issues with the foster parents but my adoptive parents were abusive mentally and physically. They had an income incentive for each child they adopted and would make us eat less, wear our clothes inside out and share each other's clothes (I was a boy and had 3 sisters) to save them money so they could afford 2 brand new trucks and their toys. I use to resort to sneaking to food and risk the beatings as I was growing fast and my stomach would be growling during school like a lion. My social case workers were amazing, but I too was intimidated by my parents and I know they saw things but their hands were tied on being able to help us. It's pitiful these people can be entrusted with children. I wouldn't trust these people with dogs.
And everytime DCS does nothing, the parent/guardian becomes more emboldened and the children realize they don't have just one abuser. They have an entire department helping it continue.
And that's the same exact reason authorities don't do anything, they know they won't face consequences so why should they care? They still get that check. It's morally bankrupt people checking on morally bankrupt people. What kind of system is that?
This is exactly what happened to me, all the adults in positions to help me did nothing so I learned not to say a word when another adult would ask. I lied to protect myself because they did absolutely NOTHING to help me. Believe the children! I was also very shy and didn’t speak up as often like these courageous children did but all my siblings had called 911 for help many times and never got the help they needed and neither did I. Can you imagine how many kids don’t speak up because they are scared and ashamed of what is happening to them? I was so embarrassed about it, I didn’t even tell my closest friends.
My “mother” was tremendously abusive. After losing custody of their first two children my parents went on to have 3 more. We were constantly starved, beaten, screamed at and tortured. After my father left, things got worse. She would find some guys who couldn’t stand the way she treated her children but lucked out on one guy in particular (Dave) who took great joy in handing out punishments to 3 small children. DCFS visited us several times a month, we were removed multiple times, but handed back shortly after only to be beat again for telling the authorities anything. It’s a sick joke. These people are collecting a paychecks and could care less about children. I’m a mother of 3, 2 are adults now. I just can’t imagine my children living a life like mine. I made sure they didn’t.
CPS is not interested in protecting children from abusive homes! They are interested in snatching children from healthy homes and put them in the filthy abusive homes and ignoring the terror cries of children in abusive homes. That’s what CPS are secretly trained to ignore children who are in danger and take kids from healthy home and always take the false accusations from anyone.
@@anthonyguarino4242 DCS actually removes as a last resort. They will leave children with parents with substance abuse problems if they think they are still functional enough and offer the parents access to treatment programs. The bar is very high to remove in Arizona as it costs the state more to remove than leave kids with parents.
Because they sell them. It’s easier to sell kids that aren’t emotionally traumatized, or come from crappy homes and abuse. Those cases they don’t care about cause it’s costs them money, doesn’t make them money
As a former employee of The State of Arizona that has been on field investigations, I can confirm this. I later had a foster child illegally removed from my home by a AHIT worker. They lied and said I tested positive for cocaine. I immediately went down and paid out of pocket for a hair follicle test to prove they were lying. I had every bit of evidence that my foster child was probably cared for and loved and that their allegations were false, yet they were never held accountable. Meanwhile on a field investigation there were children allowed to stay in the home of their mother without food, diapers worn for more than 24 hours. Destroyed home and the children were in physical danger. I will never understand why the department or DCS workers are never held accountable. We need to implement change like YESTERDAY! No child should ever have to experience abuse by the people that are supposed to love and protect them and it's a shame that so many endure years of abuse within our foster care system. Unfortunately, so many Foster Care/Adoption providers are only in it for the money.
True and she probably hurt them even more after that smh i cant stand people that treat children like that for GOD SAKES THEY ARE KIDS I WOULD BEAT TF OUT OF THIS WOMAN HURTING SOMEONE THAT CANT HELP OR DEFEND THEY SELVES SMH
Blaming the police, DCS is the ultimate gate keeper. This is also why it is so easy for a viscous custodial parent to keep the non-custodial parent out of the lives of their biological children. Children have become chattel in the DCS system. The more dependant on social services the children and custodial parents are, the greater need for DCS. Doesn't matter if the custodial parent is male or female, with the help of DCS the non-custodial parent can be kept away almost indefinitely.
DSS ruined my life. Took my breastfeeding baby from my arms and gave him to my ex husband who was abusing both my child and I. I have never been the same since. Put these insane dss workers in jail for neglect
I believe you and know that it's true that CPS does this all the time. They get federal money to destroy families and also get Obama's fatherhood initiative money to give the children to the father even if he's the abuser!
I totally agree with you they cover up to much only cause they don’t wanna do any paperwork in replacement of the children. It’s supposed to be in the best interest for the child/ children but they really don’t care. I feel so sorry for the kids that go through this cause some kids don’t make it. And I’m very sorry that happened to you as well.
I can relate. My ex who beat me almost daily got custody of our son son because he had more money than me I was given mandatory visits and about a year in I get a call from my ex saying, "I dont think you should see our son anymore?!?!" "Why?!?!?!?!?!?" Because he "said so", that was 8 years ago and i have not seen my son and child support is still trying to come after me even after i told them he broke his court order and kidnapped my son... i miss my son with all my heart and pray for the day i can hold him again. I LOVE YOU JUSTIN E. OLSON!!! Mama's still trying back t... I will find you some day I promise...
@@paris-lovefromalaska8973 is dumb! They should go with the one that will take care of them and love them most. Not the abusive one because they might end up abusing the child and or let someone abuse the child 😤
“She’s going to smell my breath!”-the words a CHILD said to a POLICE OFFICER! This hurts my heart! I’m a single mother of two. And I could NEVER put my children in this situation, ever! It is so hard to fathom that this happens in my city. I’d love to adopt these children in a heartbeat! ❤️
That single statement from that little child's mouth is solid proof of evidence that they were being starved. No child would think of that without missing a beat unless it actually happened in the past. It was just a knowing that was verbally reactive from previous experience.
i agree but the limitations still has to happen because there are always a few rotten appels who would lie in order to make bank of the system which will hurt geione viktoms who will then be disbelived
7:09 same thing happened to me as a child that I'm 27 now and still living with all the trauma and the scars. CPS was involved so many times yet nothing came from it... Police showed up and nothing came of it. They don't care, they don't care at all!
I had been given temporary custody of my then 8 year old grandson because of parental drug use and drugs were also present in my grandsons system ... I had him for 6 months or so and his mother took back her signed agreement to let me keep him because I wouldn't let her just abandon him with me .. She had only been to see him 4 times the whole time I had him ... Hendersonville NC dss took custody away from me and put him in foster care ... I find out that his foster parent is a higher up dss worker for our county and she was now getting $2400. a month for him and has since put him in a group home after only 2 weeks in her care .. I did get ebt and child support for him from dss but nothing else .. When we went to court before they took him the presiding judge gave me full custody of him but that evening dss found a judge to sign off on taking him from me ... The only thing dss could prove I did wrong with him was we didn't have a fire escape ladder from his window to the ground ... We Don't need one because thare is a roof under both windows in his room ... I believe that ALL DSS across America are taking kids faulsely and banking government money to put in thare pockets. .. It happens a lot her in Hendersonville NC and All Dss workers and thare workers should be investigated deeply from top to bottom supervisors to case workers and beyond if need be ..... If that ever happens come look here bet your gonna find out about a lot more than just greed that's a 100 % fact ..... I got people who can and will tell what thay themselves have gone through trying to get help from them or trying to get thare kids back .... And don't get me started on SC !! They lose thare foster kids and either they are dead or dissappear. .. And dss offered me the same $2400. a month to take in foster kids .... this was after they took My grandson. ... If I was such a bad grandmother then why ask me to do it ... I was only getting $197. support and $115 in ebt a month ... Wouldn't it have been cheaper to let me keep him them pay out $2400 a month for foster care right ??????
shortly after 6 minutes when that kid was crying saying she couldn't eat because the foster mom would smell the food on her breath, was one of the most heart breaking things I've ever seen
I wanted to shoot the woman through my computer screen when I heard the little girl say that!!!! I will remember the girl the rest of my life!!!! My heart broke for that girl, it is beyond me how anyone could treat children this way. Now the witch will have to stand before Almighty God, I think that visit will not go well for her!!!!! Being a retired law enforcement officer this happens more than you think!!!
And if that doesn't count as substantiated evidence what will. DCS has a lot of files that need to be reviewed by a Public Inquiry. Get the a 'Special Master' if that will help cracks the files open.
This is how dcs handles things everywhere. My grandson was in a similar situation. We kept reporting his parents and they kept saying "unsubstantiated evidence ". Finally we got him out of the home and he lives with us full time, but the scars are still there.
Those scars are definitely there, But pls remind him that its not his fault and the parents have a sickness that took over their Moral compass, & he is going to continue to be loved on by other family
@@moneejimmerson536 It was a foster mom that did this I imagine his real family probably was not as bad as that thing.usely the case anyways. they have way to much power is the problem, they were started as a way to feed the cabal.
Absolutely. Random (possibly) disturbing and unnecessarily lengthy story: My sister was diagnosed with the most painful neurological condition known to science, which caused her to have constant, unrelenting hell-like pain in both of her legs from the time that she was in 5th grade. From that point onward, she was constantly recieving treatment -- often in crutches or wheelchair-bound. Treatment hardly helped at all. There is no true cure. My mother went with her to Pennsylvania to have her stay with the top leaders in treatment for CRPS (Her condition). After months of staying there, and countless hours of daily physical therapy, mental strengthening, etc. she was able to stand and walk. A sort of "remission." After being home for a short while, her condition relapsed after a blunt strike to her leg(s?). Long story short, she took her life freshman year of high school after enduring years upon years of unimaginable pain. (She described it as though someone replaced all the blood in her legs with gasoline and lit it on fire. This was constant.) The CPS agents that are dispatched mandatorilly after a child commits suicide had the _AUDACITY_ to say to my mother's face *"You are a terrible mother."* -- After all the _years_ she spent fighting so hard to keep my sister here. To get her well as soon as possible with the most specialized medical professionals for this field. To care for, and raise me and my brother on top of all this while being a single mother. I can hardly fathom that someone is able to say something so *evil* to a mother, who not even a day before just lost her daughter. This is why I hate cps.
I was left in a car while birth mom went bar hopping (I was 1) and it was in Philadelphia (bad part) dcs took me and placed me with my forver parents. Best thing that ever happened to me. I dont ever hear positive stories either but I am one!
Heartbreaking. I was also abused physically & sexually while in the foster care system. 19 different homes in six years until I was adopted by a wonderful family at age 12. I pray for all the kids in the system. Every child deserves love. I pray God raises good loving people to step in to be foster parents
Hi Catrina. I hope you're doing better today. I've never gone through anything like this myself, but is breaks my heart as well to hear about this garbage happening. Nobody deserves to be used as a thing or a means to an end, that's what THINGS are for. Peace and take care, wishing you a fulfilling and happy life here on.
I know this all too well. Dcfs first came to my house when I was 2, and I wasn't removed till age 14, after 14 broken bones including my jaw several times, my ribs ,and arms and legs. I was handcuffed to my bed, forced to use a trashcan as a toilet. All dcfs in every state needs to be overhauled. It is absolutely ridiculous that any worker believes the abuser over those reporting the incident and requiring a child to tell dcfs what happened in front of their abuser is abuse on its own. It infuriates me.
The fact that they did nothing with SO much evidence and calls is truly disgusting and horrifying. I can’t imagine what other stuff goes on with other cases.
The director of Arizona DCS should face criminal charges and be held accountable for his department’s total lack of action in this case. He definitely needs to be fired and repay the state his salary because he did not do his job for which he is being paid to do.
@Bb King bruh this isn’t abuse of power, it is the lack of awareness. I agree that the cops did not take the situation correctly, but to say they abused their power is weird. More like they did not use their power enough to handle the situation. Seriously you sound like that person that would blame others, and not associate accountability to the big reason why something happens.
Interviewing the kids in front of the abusers. That's really smart. Calling and tipping off the horrible foster parents. Makes you wonder if they would have been better off with a parent who got counseling and help.
These systems know what they are doing. True story, a mother was able to kill two of her daughters, chained one underneath a kitchen table for two years, after being shot by her little sister because the mother told her to hold the gun on her, the CPS came to the house after the second daughter ran away and told the authorities CPS shows up interview all the children right in the same room with the mother. After CPS leaves she locks the second daughter in a closet until she died. What's really messed up is a lot of kids think the behavior of these abusers is normal and it's happening in every home.
Dcs's laziness is the crack in the system they always talk about ,how pathetic ,they need to be held legally accountable and see how quick those cracks disappear.
The police officer saying “ I love you and don’t even know you” and her response breaks my heart because these kids only known abuse not love even though they will eventually heal from it it’s something that will never be forgotten. I’m speaking from experience with this stuff myself.
I was a Detention Officer for 20 years, that made me intensely proud of that officer. I am sure he would have taken her home to his family if he could!!!!
that's so heartwrenching. I hope these children are relatively ok today. It's such a god damn waste and shame that such a great proportion of their upbringing is so brutal and cruel. I could cry when I heard that part. An innocent, did nothing wrong, terrorized by her "mother". Despicable.
“She’s gonna smell it on my breath” this poor kid was too terrified to eat even AFTER the police were there. The mother is just plain evil there’s no reason to have a kitchen full of food but not allow it to be eaten unless you’re a sick individual that likes to watch people suffer. I pray any child that was abused by her gets the help they need and that they aren’t affected by this for the rest of their lives ..
@@eddiealbritton2462 She is Not the example of a mother, my Mom showed the true example by loving her 5 children and raising us into responsible adults.

You expected better from our lovely Arizona? Who has been in the top 10 worst states for education for decades? (Oh, looks - it's ranked 39th in education as of posting!! Top 11 worst, sorry) Sure, we have a beautiful state - but this is exactly whats to be expected, par for the course, sadly.
I did when I turned 18 in Tennessee. It is much harder than you think. Even with tons of evidence of abuse (even sexual), the judge dismissed it. The judges work with DCS and it is so hard to get anything taken seriously.
So the government will have even less money to fund the system? I realize the situation sucks but money doesn't fix everything. America is a very litigious society.
I swear CPS harms more kids than they help. The fact that the little girl was so scared to eat she was afraid she would smell her breath really?!?! How in the hell is this even ok?!?!?
I agree. "people united will never be defeated". the sick monsters who have the control are scared of our unity. start today and lets get involved, social media is a way for us to do this but people are more concerned with how they look and social status. forget about your false ego and we can save the planet. Life is not only to enjoy, service is much needed in all areas.
There are kids '' sold and trafficked.. '' by the system. Some stories are horrific to listen. This story of abuses and neglect is not a surprise and happen more often than people think.
Unfortunately this happens ALL the time! I was a foster kid. I know! The truth is: they don’t take kids away b/c there’s no where else to put them. Seriously. The majority of people say, “Save those poor kids” but will they open THEIR homes/hearts to these kids? No. It’s always someone else who should step up. 😔
My heart breaks for you. Sadly, there ARE wonderful people willing to be foster parents, but they are simply screened out! We were one such family. We bought a house with an private bedroom and bathroom specifically so we could foster to adopt. We are white, self supporting, loving parents who, even before we married, knew we wanted to foster. The case workers would come in and say things like, “those are the wrong bunk beds “ or “there needs to be a lock on this cupboard.” Hubby had the locks for the detergent cupboards right there, but they would say, “No, you have to make another appointment.” They would “reschedule” or not show. This went on for 2 years! We ended up meeting other good families and a widowed, former principal who was told her house was “too clean.” Yet, welfare families in our class were immediately given FOUR kids at $125 PER DAY ($50 for the first and $25 each for the other 3) These families put kids in basements and attics without outside exits. That requires a judge to sign off on in my state. The foster care system is designed to perpetuate welfare, traffic children, fill state coffers and protect abusers! We switched to a private company, but they were 2 hrs away and had a huge turn over of caseworkers d/t lack of pay and huge case loads of the least placeable kidsI We received a call, like clockwork every 6 weeks to tell us the name of our new caseworker. Not one ever scheduled a visit. I’d pull out my paperwork all the time and pray for children to love. After another 2 years hubby said to put the file away. I cried for years. We were blessed to be able to have biological children, despite fertility issues and losses. Here it is 18 years later and as I type this the tears flow. I thought I had healed from this, but I guess not. I am still heartbroken, angry and frustrated. I want to see the animal foster parents treated like the kids they abuse. I want to see neglectful/criminal CPS workers and cops jailed, but most of I want all of those precious children loved, nurtured and thriving.
Exactly, I watched videos on his case & that poor boy deserves justice & peace!! Every single person that knows about reports & does nothing should be charged. Every case should be followed up multiple times within a period of time & unexpectedly.
Poor Gabriel still hurts my heart every single time I think about him, which is often. He tried to get help and was just knocked down until one day he never got back up.
And when DCPS shows up, if the parents say they spank the kids the kids are taken away due to the parents' "abuse" of the children. If they say they don't spank them, the kids get taken away due to "neglect". Then we see houses of horrors such as this, or even worse!!! 😡
@Miss M Yep, it happened to indigenous kids for decades. Just taken from their mothers to sell through adoption to white families even though the mothers didn't DO ANYTHING and wanted their babies!
For every child they do wrong should be time in prison. Which is really not good enough because some of these kids don't even make it out of these situations alive.
DCS needs to start getting charged with child neglect for every child they fail.
Yes they do I bet they will start doing their job
That's Right Amen! Like it is ok for them to let all this Crap happen, sick , sick, sick!
YES
When the government has no oversight this will happen. It’s not the first time and children have died under DCS care. They should be charged but won’t be because public officials have qualified immunity
Defund DCS! That'll solve everything. (
The part where the little girl was scared to eat and told the police “she’s going to smell my breath” that broke my freaking heart
That part made me tear up. I'm a mother of 3 and I'd never deprive my children or their friends of food. I grew up poor and remember what it was like not to have much food in the house and always being hungry on Saturday mornings with nothing to eat. Just breaks my heart.
Me too. 💔
That was pure fear and she was talking to police, knowing they could leave and punishment would begin.
What a mind f*** to have chips/food in the house but the kids couldn't eat.
Damn shame and I have never heard that before. All that food and starving them babies! Now she herself is dead 🤔
The first half got me teary-eyed but that second half where she said "I love you too because you're saving me from this house" was the part that broke my heart 😮
Bro forreal
Maybe cps will stop “failing” kids when they start being charged for their negligence
Kids can’t vote, so politicians don’t care.
Right , when I was a little kid and cps came to my house because my mom bf was super abusive they asked us if we get abused in front of my mom and her boyfriend.
@@kooolllkatscat7830 that’s awful, I’m sorry for whatever you’ve gone through. Take this as a reminder that there’s people in this world that don’t even know but have love for you and care for you💗

They'll take kids from a loving home because the parents smoke pot, yet they'll leave kids with an abuser when THE KIDS THEMSELVES ARE LITERALLY ASKING FOR HELP????
They take kids for even less than that. There used to be a web site a friend who had kids going thru it that exposed the kickbacks they were getting privately thru terminating parents rights for u abused kids and small kids or infants. Another one which idk if it's around anymore used to be honk for kids .com
That is true,
Smoking pot is sometimes the cause
But Your point still stands
@@ninofromkitchennightmares1497 NEVER.
The money comes from removing them from their parents, not the state care
Omg when the police was asking what she wants to eat while they waited and the absolute TERROR in her voice "she'll smell it on my breath"
That's heartbreaking. Hopefully they can heal from this and get the families they deserve.
You know they won't though
Those aren’t mistakes!! These authorities need to take accountability seriously and stop lying. Fire every one. That’s the only way to solve this problem.
They can't even hire investigators as if with pay so low. Front line social workers are overworked and underpaid.
JAIL
They need jail time more than they need firing! What they did, and didn't do was literally breaking the law. Evil!!
They are so freaking LAZY; That's what it boils down to, LAZINESS!!!!
No, they need more workers. DCS workers are extremely overwhelmed and overworked. These kids were neglected and the woman probably hid it well. Because abusers know how to hide things. I know this personally
Questioning the kids in front of the person that's being accused of abusing them, is PROOF of a cover up. Period. Heads need to roll big time. CPS takes kids from their homes and puts them with strangers who do THIS! Smdh.
Right!?
Absolutely!!!!!
Exactly, not to mention yhe one's who end up dead in foster care.

@@Ephesians5-14 This was when the kids finally _were_ taken out of the home. You can tell because the police officers here actually sound much more competent (“No, I’m not gonna tell you what was said because this is an investigation.”) and empathetic.
@@rhondahoward8025 oohhh gotcha, that's great!
@@Ephesians5-14 Yeah. A lot of people got confused because there was another officer who responded to the boy running out of the house naked to escape a beating, but still left the kids in the home after the fact. Because, you guessed it, "unsubstantiated". He was the one who got "ten hours of suspended pay", about a single shift's worth of money.
This is seriously so sad. The part where the kids said that they didn’t say anything again because the cops came and did nothing... that was heartbreaking.
These cops now days are WORTHLESS
Well there goes their (and our) trust in the law enforcement. Now I’m curious how many swat team members in high population cities are crooked SWATS?
Cops suck that's why there's not alot of trust with them especially low income communities
the cops dont have the power to help that is up to CPS and DCS and they both failed horribly
Wilma Perkins The cops could have launched an investigation for child neglect now? Being as though they’re all government employees, I’m sure they had some pull.
As an adult who was severely abused as a child, I can’t tell you how many people either seen it or I told, no one ever helped. This makes me sick as I am 50 and nothing has changed

I'm so sorry this happened to you too. It happened to me as well. Everyone in my family on BOTH sides knew what was happening but no one did ANYTHING to protect me. Made excuses, kept quiet, even enabled and protected my abusers. Every single adult should be a mandated reporter of child abuse. If they knew it was happening and did nothing they should be held accountable. Even if it's a stranger seeing it happening. Every adult is responsible for children because children have no rights and they can't be their own advocates. Same with the disabled and the elderly.
The panic and fear in that kids voice when they say "she's gonna smell it on my breath" after being offered food just further proves the abuse
“Some mistakes were made” are you kidding me…. She was doing everything but killing them. Absolutely disgusting.
Sounds just like "Some people did something". - Ilhan Omar on 911-
How was she ever approved to be a foster Mom? She could barely move, breathe,the house a mess. The 10/13 kids where slaves to her that she used to help her while she sat on the couch 22/7. And it's evident who ate most of the food and why it was stocked so well. But there are many more bad foster parents and caseworkers know it & still place kids in their home.
Exactly right 👍
Mistakes were made, yet those pay checks still got cashed 😔
Same, felt the same when he said "some". So disappointing
Now charges needs to be brought up against the DCS and POLICE. They needs to be held accountable to the FULLEST. Start charging these people when they don't do right or ignored complaints. That WOMAN looks evil and stop giving people all those kids just to collect a pay check.😠
💯 NO DOUBT!!
DCS can't just take kids or they will get accused of being child kidnappers. They have to do due diligence and substantiate accusations and follow state statutes which give Arizona parents a lot of leeway. Because of those factors it is very difficult to remove. There has to be very dangerous immediate threats to safety (needles on floors, guns laying around, etc). If you want different results give them more funding so they can reduce their caseloads and change state legislation.
Those kids would literally be homeless otherwise. Sadly, no one wants them. There are many good foster parents, don't judge the whole system off one person, that's exceedingly ignorant.
@@allaboutroofing2 There are a lot of bad people in the foster system and a lot of ok people are are just insincere. Plenty of people trying to make a buck off of fostering and a lot of investigators with the state know this and are generally harder on foster parents or adoptive parents than they are on genetic parents or relatives. The issue is that the child to caretaker ratio is so high and until Arizona dedicates more resources to supporting parents in general (drug rehab, therapists, financial support, educational support, etc) the issue will prevail. Arizonans want to cheap out on issues and hope it will magically take care of itself.
If Arizona DCS was worth a damn, maybe the Vallow kids would still be alive.
That sweet child who said “She’s going to smell my breath.” That’s soul shattering
A tear almost came out my heart dropped 🥺. Man smh

Right they should've been gotten them out of there!
The system fails alot! Me and my brother went threw in our home mental and physical abuse. As well as emotional. To this day my mother will always try to remind me as a 36 year old woman that no 1 can stand me, no 1 wants to be around me. While I attended school, the staff wasn't of any help either. If anything I was condemned more so by the attendant of the high school office. My mother bullied me alot, in every way just about. This woman at school reminded me that there was no help for children "like me." She hated me since I was gradeschool. I went to school with her daughter and she didn't understand my home life, and why I'd come to school acting the way I was treated. She was a woman who was constantly involved in school and became a employee when I got to high school. Never gave me a benefit of a doubt nor help! I covered my bruises and more than half the time, didnt show up to school! I can honestly say the female principle at that time, "was the only 1 to ask questions and investigate." After she realized what kind of parents I had and what I was going threw...she didn't report it but no longer tried to have me treated differently. She worked with me to finish schooling and get out of there! Thank you, Mrs. Meade if you are reading this. I have not forgot you!! 💜💜

I have known people that had really delinquent Foster kids and they LIED to everyone and the police and child protection services that they were being abused, when they were actually stealing from their Foster parents and being violent. The Foster parents couldn't have kids and just wanted kids of their own to love. Of course this isn't at all what happened here but in most cases there needs to be hard proof of abuse or else any kid can cry wolf if they have a tantrum to get the parents or Foster parents in trouble.
But this case was just handled horrendously and those kids were failed in too many ways. There was more than enough evidence on multiple occasions.
Not true. I worked at a residential facility. Kids would call the hotline on staff they didn't like, just to spite them. They were always unfounded because there was no physical or camera.
But kids know how to work the system. Some claims are false
💯.... & For the ones saying that kids no how to work the system, I mean come on there was reports after reports & nothing done about it. They didn't even really check into anything & that's the main thing they should have did. Yea, kids lie but when there is more than 1 child saying the same thing, there's something wrong! Also, her own biological daughter was even reporting it & telling them they should be taken out of that house.
This officer who was asking what she wanted to eat was so caring. You can hear it in his voice, he feels so awful about what he's walking into.
Young children don’t typically lie about how they’ve been treated. If a child tells you something, IT IS TRUE until proven untrue. They’re hurting, they’re looking for help. Even if they don’t tell you exactly what’s going on
"She's gonna smell it on my breath" is NOT something a child can just make up on their own.
i also heard this video on family channel like youtuber wise has been taking down
I was one of these children back in the 80’s DHS didn’t do much about anything. By the time they decided to take action I was 15 and having my first child 🥺 I’m still healing from neglect 😮💨😪
100% AGREE! My kids lie about little stuff, ask them if they ate a cookie, noooo. Ask anything serious they tell the truth! This made me tear up bad! I hope she got hers! Omg!
That’s not always true,,, children do lie and make stuff up,,,, i know,,,, out of 5 relative children 1 was a liar to be evil,,,grew up and did time in jail,,,,, the other child told whoppers for fun!!! Yes children lie
She's dead so she can't be held accountable BUT everyone involved needs to be in jail. Children should not be treated like this. Children are to be loved and cared for. Not abused
She will be held accountable by The Most High Creator! Everyone must reap what they sow.
It's a damn good thing, too. If I knew where she was buried, I'd spit on her grave.
@@dezkerr3591 period friend
I bet she’s paying now.
I agree. Each and every worker (officers, CPS workers, etc.) need to be charged themselves.
The fact that dcs not accepting an interview and denying sharing any records tells us something. They are hiding something.
That kids voice in the pantry made me so emotional and so mad at the system failing those poor babies 💔
The police told the little girl while waiting would she like some chips. Nooooo, she'll smell it on my breathe. Gut wrenching.
The mom kept a stocked fridge and pantry but withheld the food.
Sick.
That's one reason why she got away with it for so long. They only expect the child to have a roof over their heads, food in belly and clothes on back.
A decade of calls and nothing happened. So 😥
I personally understand this situation and what those kids are going through because I was abused in foster care at the age of three and taken away from my mother from a mis-altercation regarding bruises left on me from playing outside daily and they didn't even come to ask me how I got them, just woke up and random people knoked on the door and told me to go with them, didn't know what was going on but my mom told me to go with them so I did but I got back with my mother after 11 months but Ironically she was in a toxic relationship with someone and I'm pretty he was abusive to me because his kids will say something about me to get him to disciplinet me no matter how dumb there story was and how much I caught them in a lie and even called it out I never won and I was so called disciplined with hard almost full power hits 2 to 4 days a week for 8 years and because I had all these bad things happening so often I just assumed that was just life for me... So I know how this stuff can happen for years because of cruel selfish lies
My heart fell when she said that in the pantry. She was so scared..😞☹️😢
Imagine how many kids are being failed by the system
It has for decades. CPS can not keep up anymore. There is not enough money and too many kids! People need to wake up and stop the cycles!
This is completely ridiculous... no one will talk if their abuser is right there 😵💫... this breaks my heart.
None of these kid services do what they are supposed to. Ive called CYS on a child in my preschool class who also happened to be my neighbor, so at that time I had both a personal and professional view of the child. He was always screamed at, never spoken to nicely, he was allowed to play with broken glass outside in their yard. The parent never cleaned it up and told him to "go play." Their house from what I was able to see was atrocious to the point where when they moved out, the owner of the house actually did a full demo on the inside and sold it. There were other things too that I won't discuss. Anyway, so I called about him and they never came to check. No report was made and after they moved I lost track of him. So sad.
Thy poor CHILD , id keep looking for him...and others
Unfortunately I’m not surprised they never looked into it. The system is failing too many kids
So u just gave up and stoppep
I hate humans, but I love the angels that walk among us thank you for trying miss and as a mother of two boys I support your efforts to try and protect those kids. Utilizing your mandated reporter obligation in situations like that. So many DO NOT.
@@crystalrosas6052 I explained in two parts of my post that he had moved and I lost track of him. Should I have followed him??? I didn't just "give up".
If a kid knows to say something like "she's going2 smell my breath" over eating food there's a problem.
Exactly. A kid doesn't just make up that kind of thing.
Exactly, Josh and Fatzy!! So true!
My heart broke when I heard that
That stuck with me listening to her say that 😢😭
A child, with fear in their voice, said "she'll smell it on my breath." That is absolutely evidence of withheld food and harsh punishment in itself. I can't believe this----
I mean, I believe it happened, but it's disgusting that it did
They were suspended for a single shift. Unbelievable.
The child said "she's gonna smell my breath when you leave" and wouldn't eat with the officer present. Yeah that kid is not staying when I leave
Seriously. How much more of a plea for help does a little kid need to give?
Exactly
@@shannaroe5189 oh trust you he surprise how many case like this is around smh
How did they leave the baby's in this monsters hands so long poor baby's 😤😿
A Child “ I love you too because you're saving me from this house “ 😢 How can they not see this as a cry for help? 🤔🤯😡
I felt that when that poor child said those words. You can literally feel the pain and anguish in her voice. 😔
Only a sociopath can listen to that and do nothing. I’m a grown man and damn near cried when I heard it. I would of stopped at nothing to help those kids and I like to think I’m not the only one.
💔💔💔
That broke my heart.
I know how that poor baby feels. Dear God there has to be changes NOW. Good people where ARE YOU?
This is so heartbreaking. That was one trifling woman. Her own kid had to speak out against her. Praying for those children
Notice mom & her daughter s can barely walk obese & the children are starving ! On the free food given to her for the children.
This is heartbreaking!!! These kids were left high and dry with so many incidents to intervene. It’s disgusting the incompetence shown by that office. These agencies dropped the ball over and over
DCS destroys children's lives.
Totally 👍🏾 , I hope you don't mind I'm going to use that one.
😡 THEY ABSOLUTELY DO! ALSO MONSTER FOSTER PARENTS LIKE THIS EVIL THING! 😑
Uh, actually we would not even have DCS and foster care if parents were not Abusive! If we didn’t have so many shitty parents this would be a non- issue
Always smh
Period.
The fear these children endured is beyond words. How many adults failed them is beyond comprehension!
Kids are going to go through a period in life when they will try self medication to stop the nightmares. Will they make it? Some don’t some do.
Harmed kids while getting a paycheck is embezzlement of state and federal monies. Period. This is embezzling money for incompetency !!!
There are so many people who should never be social workers and are probably abusive themselves at home; therefore they over look blatant abuse. How do they justify not removing the children when the abuse is so obvious. The mother was sitting there looking 400 pounds and denied the children food😡. That was a form of torture to let the children see all the food but they couldn't have the food. Everyone failed those children.
It's numbingly mind blowing how many adults this came across and no one did anything. The system completely failed them.
"She's gonna smell it on my breath"
💔 poor baby.
That completely broke my heart to a million piece...I will never understand how anyone can do such things to innocent babies..I woulda taken all of them an ran...I hope they are receiving some much needed therapy,
I wish the officers would have showed their love rather than claim it. Those kids have heard it all. It only serves to salt their wounds. “I love you.”
This is too much. Why were they left there!!!!! 💔💔💔😢😢😢
I grew up in a foster care home and was adopted. I was lucky enough to not experience much issues with the foster parents but my adoptive parents were abusive mentally and physically.
They had an income incentive for each child they adopted and would make us eat less, wear our clothes inside out and share each other's clothes (I was a boy and had 3 sisters) to save them money so they could afford 2 brand new trucks and their toys. I use to resort to sneaking to food and risk the beatings as I was growing fast and my stomach would be growling during school like a lion.
My social case workers were amazing, but I too was intimidated by my parents and I know they saw things but their hands were tied on being able to help us.
It's pitiful these people can be entrusted with children. I wouldn't trust these people with dogs.
How are you now? sorry that you experience all of that, wish the best for you always, don't let the trauma define you. Much love 💕
What’s even more disturbing is the fact this woman had fans on UA-cam.
She controlled her image so well that officials visiting the house took her side.. what chance does a UA-cam viewer have
@@Tysonhayter UA-cam is the problem.
Makes you wonder how many other UA-cam kid stars are being neglected and abused.
@@DrVideo2 probably a lot tbh look at hollyweird and some of the child stars .
What's her you tube channel
And everytime DCS does nothing, the parent/guardian becomes more emboldened and the children realize they don't have just one abuser. They have an entire department helping it continue.
And that's the same exact reason authorities don't do anything, they know they won't face consequences so why should they care? They still get that check. It's morally bankrupt people checking on morally bankrupt people. What kind of system is that?
This is exactly what happened to me, all the adults in positions to help me did nothing so I learned not to say a word when another adult would ask. I lied to protect myself because they did absolutely NOTHING to help me. Believe the children! I was also very shy and didn’t speak up as often like these courageous children did but all my siblings had called 911 for help many times and never got the help they needed and neither did I. Can you imagine how many kids don’t speak up because they are scared and ashamed of what is happening to them? I was so embarrassed about it, I didn’t even tell my closest friends.
FACTS
So true, then those kids don't know who to trust when they can't even trust the ones who are suppose to save them.
My “mother” was tremendously abusive. After losing custody of their first two children my parents went on to have 3 more. We were constantly starved, beaten, screamed at and tortured. After my father left, things got worse. She would find some guys who couldn’t stand the way she treated her children but lucked out on one guy in particular (Dave) who took great joy in handing out punishments to 3 small children. DCFS visited us several times a month, we were removed multiple times, but handed back shortly after only to be beat again for telling the authorities anything. It’s a sick joke. These people are collecting a paychecks and could care less about children. I’m a mother of 3, 2 are adults now. I just can’t imagine my children living a life like mine. I made sure they didn’t.
I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. Seems like you broke the cycle.
I hope your siblings are doing well.
I’m sorry that happened to you. Hopefully Karma gets them
🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏💝💝
I also hope you and all your siblings still see each other. Your parents were mean, but maybe your siblings are who you had with you during that
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Way to go MoMA🙏🏽
the baby eating the chips just broke my heart bc who knows how long it’s been since she’s ate something
When a child tells of abuse remove them what the hell is wrong with CPS
There is alot wrong with this cps dept
They actually have to investigate and substantiate accusations so they don't just get accused of kid snatching.
CPS is not interested in protecting children from abusive homes! They are interested in snatching children from healthy homes and put them in the filthy abusive homes and ignoring the terror cries of children in abusive homes. That’s what CPS are secretly trained to ignore children who are in danger and take kids from healthy home and always take the false accusations from anyone.
@@anthonyguarino4242 DCS actually removes as a last resort. They will leave children with parents with substance abuse problems if they think they are still functional enough and offer the parents access to treatment programs. The bar is very high to remove in Arizona as it costs the state more to remove than leave kids with parents.
@@stevo9er still, CPS is a corrupt system!
When kids need help DCS does nothing. When kids don’t need help DCS takes them from responsible & loving parents
THIS! 👏🏼💯
Yes
Because they sell them. It’s easier to sell kids that aren’t emotionally traumatized, or come from crappy homes and abuse. Those cases they don’t care about cause it’s costs them money, doesn’t make them money
As a former employee of The State of Arizona that has been on field investigations, I can confirm this. I later had a foster child illegally removed from my home by a AHIT worker. They lied and said I tested positive for cocaine. I immediately went down and paid out of pocket for a hair follicle test to prove they were lying. I had every bit of evidence that my foster child was probably cared for and loved and that their allegations were false, yet they were never held accountable. Meanwhile on a field investigation there were children allowed to stay in the home of their mother without food, diapers worn for more than 24 hours. Destroyed home and the children were in physical danger. I will never understand why the department or DCS workers are never held accountable. We need to implement change like YESTERDAY! No child should ever have to experience abuse by the people that are supposed to love and protect them and it's a shame that so many endure years of abuse within our foster care system. Unfortunately, so many Foster Care/Adoption providers are only in it for the money.
It really seems to be that way
What the hell? DCS failed all these children! They gave her a heads up every time the children reported her because they knew her in the agency!?😤😤
EXACTLY 💯 and now DCS needs to be charged as well.😠
Likely a quick easy placement and she was making a fortune and mistreating them! So disgusting!!
Pets deserve better treatment than that these are kids lives there playing with, unacceptable! Period!!
True and she probably hurt them even more after that smh i cant stand people that treat children like that for GOD SAKES THEY ARE KIDS I WOULD BEAT TF OUT OF THIS WOMAN HURTING SOMEONE THAT CANT HELP OR DEFEND THEY SELVES SMH
Blaming the police, DCS is the ultimate gate keeper.
This is also why it is so easy for a viscous custodial parent to keep the non-custodial parent out of the lives of their biological children.
Children have become chattel in the DCS system.
The more dependant on social services the children and custodial parents are, the greater need for DCS.
Doesn't matter if the custodial parent is male or female, with the help of DCS the non-custodial parent can be kept away almost indefinitely.
To be lucky enough to be born to loving and caring parents is really a blessing that shouldn’t be taken for granted
DSS ruined my life. Took my breastfeeding baby from my arms and gave him to my ex husband who was abusing both my child and I. I have never been the same since. Put these insane dss workers in jail for neglect
I believe you and know that it's true that CPS does this all the time. They get federal money to destroy families and also get Obama's fatherhood initiative money to give the children to the father even if he's the abuser!
I totally agree with you they cover up to much only cause they don’t wanna do any paperwork in replacement of the children. It’s supposed to be in the best interest for the child/ children but they really don’t care. I feel so sorry for the kids that go through this cause some kids don’t make it. And I’m very sorry that happened to you as well.

“She’s going to smell my breath!”-the words a CHILD said to a POLICE OFFICER! This hurts my heart! I’m a single mother of two. And I could NEVER put my children in this situation, ever! It is so hard to fathom that this happens in my city. I’d love to adopt these children in a heartbeat! ❤️
I raised my 2 kids. I let them eat as much as they wanted. Healthy food. I can't see how this obese women let 14 kids starve.
When the kid said that, my heart sank. That fear is deep.
That single statement from that little child's mouth is solid proof of evidence that they were being starved. No child would think of that without missing a beat unless it actually happened in the past. It was just a knowing that was verbally reactive from previous experience.
Throw away all these worthless people because everyone failed these babies.
Can't believe the officer didn't pick up on the distress and take that child out of that environment immediately!
Kids in the system should be able to sue the state/cps when they get older. And there should be NO statute of limitations for foster abuse.
Thissssssssssss
Kids should be probably able to sue them until it's too late. It's better to sue them now than later.
i agree but the limitations still has to happen because there are always a few rotten appels who would lie in order to make bank of the system which will hurt geione viktoms who will then be disbelived
7:09 same thing happened to me as a child that I'm 27 now and still living with all the trauma and the scars. CPS was involved so many times yet nothing came from it... Police showed up and nothing came of it. They don't care, they don't care at all!
She had to be friends with someone at DCFS. That foster mother, police and dcfs failed them. Sad.

And the raw fear in her tone just broke me 😭gosh I would have just took them all home
I cried when I read that
I had been given temporary custody of my then 8 year old grandson because of parental drug use and drugs were also present in my grandsons system ...
I had him for 6 months or so and his mother took back her signed agreement to let me keep him because I wouldn't let her just abandon him with me .. She had only been to see him 4 times the whole time I had him ...
Hendersonville NC dss took custody away from me and put him in foster care ...
I find out that his foster parent is a higher up dss worker for our county and she was now getting $2400. a month for him and has since put him in a group home after only 2 weeks in her care ..
I did get ebt and child support for him from dss but nothing else ..
When we went to court before they took him the presiding judge gave me full custody of him but that evening dss found a judge to sign off on taking him from me ...
The only thing dss could prove I did wrong with him was we didn't have a fire escape ladder from his window to the ground ... We Don't need one because thare is a roof under both windows in his room ...
I believe that ALL DSS across America are taking kids faulsely and banking government money to put in thare pockets. ..
It happens a lot her in Hendersonville NC and All Dss workers and thare workers should be investigated deeply from top to bottom supervisors to case workers and beyond if need be .....
If that ever happens come look here bet your gonna find out about a lot more than just greed that's a 100 % fact .....
I got people who can and will tell what thay themselves have gone through trying to get help from them or trying to get thare kids back ....
And don't get me started on SC !!
They lose thare foster kids and either they are dead or dissappear. ..
And dss offered me the same $2400. a month to take in foster kids .... this was after they took My grandson. ...
If I was such a bad grandmother then why ask me to do it ...
I was only getting $197. support and $115 in ebt a month ... Wouldn't it have been cheaper to let me keep him them pay out $2400 a month for foster care right ??????
shortly after 6 minutes when that kid was crying saying she couldn't eat because the foster mom would smell the food on her breath, was one of the most heart breaking things I've ever seen
I wanted to shoot the woman through my computer screen when I heard the little girl say that!!!! I will remember the girl the rest of my life!!!! My heart broke for that girl, it is beyond me how anyone could treat children this way. Now the witch will have to stand before Almighty God, I think that visit will not go well for her!!!!! Being a retired law enforcement officer this happens more than you think!!!
And if that doesn't count as substantiated evidence what will. DCS has a lot of files that need to be reviewed by a Public Inquiry. Get the a 'Special Master' if that will help cracks the files open.
This is how dcs handles things everywhere. My grandson was in a similar situation. We kept reporting his parents and they kept saying "unsubstantiated evidence ". Finally we got him out of the home and he lives with us full time, but the scars are still there.
Good on you for fighting for your grandson
Those scars are definitely there, But pls remind him that its not his fault and the parents have a sickness that took over their Moral compass, & he is going to continue to be loved on by other family
Because they are NOT there to help or save any child

In my almost 40 years of life I don’t think I have ever heard one single case of a positive experience with child services.
Absolutely. Random (possibly) disturbing and unnecessarily lengthy story: My sister was diagnosed with the most painful neurological condition known to science, which caused her to have constant, unrelenting hell-like pain in both of her legs from the time that she was in 5th grade. From that point onward, she was constantly recieving treatment -- often in crutches or wheelchair-bound. Treatment hardly helped at all. There is no true cure. My mother went with her to Pennsylvania to have her stay with the top leaders in treatment for CRPS (Her condition). After months of staying there, and countless hours of daily physical therapy, mental strengthening, etc. she was able to stand and walk. A sort of "remission." After being home for a short while, her condition relapsed after a blunt strike to her leg(s?). Long story short, she took her life freshman year of high school after enduring years upon years of unimaginable pain. (She described it as though someone replaced all the blood in her legs with gasoline and lit it on fire. This was constant.) The CPS agents that are dispatched mandatorilly after a child commits suicide had the _AUDACITY_ to say to my mother's face *"You are a terrible mother."* -- After all the _years_ she spent fighting so hard to keep my sister here. To get her well as soon as possible with the most specialized medical professionals for this field. To care for, and raise me and my brother on top of all this while being a single mother. I can hardly fathom that someone is able to say something so *evil* to a mother, who not even a day before just lost her daughter.
This is why I hate cps.

Hi Catrina. I hope you're doing better today. I've never gone through anything like this myself, but is breaks my heart as well to hear about this garbage happening. Nobody deserves to be used as a thing or a means to an end, that's what THINGS are for. Peace and take care, wishing you a fulfilling and happy life here on.
I know this all too well. Dcfs first came to my house when I was 2, and I wasn't removed till age 14, after 14 broken bones including my jaw several times, my ribs ,and arms and legs. I was handcuffed to my bed, forced to use a trashcan as a toilet. All dcfs in every state needs to be overhauled. It is absolutely ridiculous that any worker believes the abuser over those reporting the incident and requiring a child to tell dcfs what happened in front of their abuser is abuse on its own. It infuriates me.
Basically. By the time CPS “helps”, the kid is either too far gone mentally or already in the ground.
How can those people sleep at night knowing they are allowing it because likely they don’t want more work! Ugh sickening!!
They don't have a conscience.
Sounds like laziness, more problems, more paper work. They are not suited for this type of job.
The fact that they did nothing with SO much evidence and calls is truly disgusting and horrifying. I can’t imagine what other stuff goes on with other cases.
Yet other parents have their kids taken away for nothing. So interesting how they choose which cases to investigate.
After watching the Gabriel Fernandez story, stuff like this infuriates me.
This is horrible I'm so sick of these CPS workers they are truly disgusting. They need to start being charged along with these fosters.
The state agency should be sued for allowing this abuse to continue!
The director of Arizona DCS should face criminal charges and be held accountable for his department’s total lack of action in this case. He definitely needs to be fired and repay the state his salary because he did not do his job for which he is being paid to do.
They will if we the people cause such a big uproar. The foster care has a lot of abuse. Wake up!!!! Expose using the internet!
None of them did they job which says alot about the supervisors, and management
@Bb King bruh this isn’t abuse of power, it is the lack of awareness. I agree that the cops did not take the situation correctly, but to say they abused their power is weird. More like they did not use their power enough to handle the situation.
Seriously you sound like that person that would blame others, and not associate accountability to the big reason why something happens.
Full prosecution on everyone that determined these claims were "unsubstantiated". They all need to be in prison for child neglect.
Exactly💯
And children physical and emotional abuse.
Interviewing the kids in front of the abusers. That's really smart. Calling and tipping off the horrible foster parents. Makes you wonder if they would have been better off with a parent who got counseling and help.
These systems know what they are doing. True story, a mother was able to kill two of her daughters, chained one underneath a kitchen table for two years, after being shot by her little sister because the mother told her to hold the gun on her, the CPS came to the house after the second daughter ran away and told the authorities CPS shows up interview all the children right in the same room with the mother. After CPS leaves she locks the second daughter in a closet until she died. What's really messed up is a lot of kids think the behavior of these abusers is normal and it's happening in every home.
Dcs's laziness is the crack in the system they always talk about ,how pathetic ,they need to be held legally accountable and see how quick those cracks disappear.
The police officer saying “ I love you and don’t even know you” and her response breaks my heart because these kids only known abuse not love even though they will eventually heal from it it’s something that will never be forgotten. I’m speaking from experience with this stuff myself.
Takes alot of healing
They may never fully heal.
I never healed for trauma.
@@jenniferminnick1964 I didnt yet either. Im one of 23 kids and an advocate for things like legal immigration, early termination & stop polygamy!!

That cop saying “I love you and I don’t even know you” was so precious. I really hope and pray these children found loving and healthy homes.
I was a Detention Officer for 20 years, that made me intensely proud of that officer. I am sure he would have taken her home to his family if he could!!!!
that's so heartwrenching. I hope these children are relatively ok today. It's such a god damn waste and shame that such a great proportion of their upbringing is so brutal and cruel. I could cry when I heard that part. An innocent, did nothing wrong, terrorized by her "mother". Despicable.
“She’s gonna smell it on my breath” this poor kid was too terrified to eat even AFTER the police were there. The mother is just plain evil there’s no reason to have a kitchen full of food but not allow it to be eaten unless you’re a sick individual that likes to watch people suffer. I pray any child that was abused by her gets the help they need and that they aren’t affected by this for the rest of their lives ..
This was a "FOSTER" mother! Dcs put them children there!
You would probably agree? Calling this woman a mother?
@@eddiealbritton2462 She is Not the example of a mother, my Mom showed the true example by loving her 5 children and raising us into responsible adults. My Mom helped pin on my badge when I became a law enforcement officer, she was so very proud of her youngest son!!!!! I knew my Mom loved me because she told me that many times and her actions proved it!!!! The scumbag woman has to face God, that will not be a good visit!!!!!
@@eddiealbritton2462 that’s why i shutter when kids get taken away from their parents, especially when it’s not anything too awful because chances are they’re going to someone WORSE.
My mom would put a lock on the pantry so we couldn't eat and get us the most disgusting food the rare times she did feed us
@@sA-ny2jl 😯 Oh my gosh! I had no idea that that was going on!
This is absolutely uncalled for…I pray these kids gets better homes….I’m happy to help any of them. It broke my heart to hear the lil boys so scared to eat anything….he even said no she will smell it on my breath…please God helps these kids…all kids
The child is shaking and can't even eat the chips. Breaks my heart. I expected better from Arizona.
Really? Did you? You expected better from Arizona?
A r i z o n a 😂😂😂
You expected better from our lovely Arizona? Who has been in the top 10 worst states for education for decades? (Oh, looks - it's ranked 39th in education as of posting!! Top 11 worst, sorry) Sure, we have a beautiful state - but this is exactly whats to be expected, par for the course, sadly.
Its not just Arizona, crap like this happens everywhere in ever damn state, I heard way worse stories .. remember the case of Gabriel?
Arizona is the worst state for DCS. They repeatedly have had to be reorganized, or different training. It's awful.
The kids need to sue DCS for every penny. This is so sad.
I did when I turned 18 in Tennessee. It is much harder than you think. Even with tons of evidence of abuse (even sexual), the judge dismissed it. The judges work with DCS and it is so hard to get anything taken seriously.
So the government will have even less money to fund the system? I realize the situation sucks but money doesn't fix everything. America is a very litigious society.
EXACTLY LIKE WTF THIS COULD'VE BEEN ANOTHER GABRIEL FERNANDEZ CASE 😕‼️‼️
@@Weedybiscuit420 They probably pick the side with money more
@@nakmuay7705 When you have no parent support and are suddenly incomeless or stuck in an abusive home at 18 money means a lot actually.
When the little boy said she's gonna smell it on my breath my heart sank😔
When he said that I could no longer hold my tears back.
That was painful to hear. I hope one day I have the opportunity to adopt and help a child like him/her.
and the fact we were told she denied them a tooth brush so they can't brush food evidence away is horrific
He sounded so scared omg I don’t understand why she wasn’t behind bars the First time a report was made. So sad
😢😢
I swear CPS harms more kids than they help. The fact that the little girl was so scared to eat she was afraid she would smell her breath really?!?! How in the hell is this even ok?!?!?
CPS is never held accountable. It's like they're untouchable. When will this end??
That's civil service, for you.
Yeah it's like the credit bureaus...who put those hacks in charge?!
I agree. "people united will never be defeated". the sick monsters who have the control are scared of our unity. start today and lets get involved, social media is a way for us to do this but people are more concerned with how they look and social status. forget about your false ego and we can save the planet. Life is not only to enjoy, service is much needed in all areas.
There are kids '' sold and trafficked.. '' by the system. Some stories are horrific to listen. This story of abuses and neglect is not a surprise and happen more often than people think.
Sick these ppl are I've even seen ppl have ALL there kids taken away but 1 like WHY so 1 is ok 2 suffer. Ppl don't check
You see it got worse when she realized she was getting away with it.
when that little girl said i love you too because you are saving me brought me to tears i do not understand how you could ever do that to a child.
😥 I KNOW, POOR SWEET BABY. OMGOSH, HOW COULD NO ONE BELIEVE THEM? 😞
@JOHN 😥 OMGOSH, IT STILL BREAKS MY HEART TO THINK ABOUT ANY CHILD TO BE IN THAT HORRIFIC SITUATION 😥💔
Some people are just sick beyond words
They are ALSO abused children. They weren't able to heal from it and the harm CONTINUES.
Whoever worked for DCS needs jailing for neglect, along with the mother.
"I love you too cause you're saving me from this house" 🥺😓💔💔
but wasnt saved that day.
And still didn't save them after all of that. 🤦🏾♀️
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
Unfortunately this happens ALL the time! I was a foster kid. I know! The truth is: they don’t take kids away b/c there’s no where else to put them. Seriously. The majority of people say, “Save those poor kids” but will they open THEIR homes/hearts to these kids? No. It’s always someone else who should step up. 😔
Exactly! Also, thankyou for letting the little one's in your home and hearts. Truly appreciate it ❤️
@@jjjjjkwkk It’s been my HONOR to love 6 children! I only gave birth to 2 but tried my best to give a LIFE to them all.
❤️😔
My heart breaks for you. Sadly, there ARE wonderful people willing to be foster parents, but they are simply screened out! We were one such family. We bought a house with an private bedroom and bathroom specifically so we could foster to adopt. We are white, self supporting, loving parents who, even before we married, knew we wanted to foster. The case workers would come in and say things like, “those are the wrong bunk beds “ or “there needs to be a lock on this cupboard.” Hubby had the locks for the detergent cupboards right there, but they would say, “No, you have to make another appointment.” They would “reschedule” or not show.
This went on for 2 years! We ended up meeting other good families and a widowed, former principal who was told her house was “too clean.” Yet, welfare families in our class were immediately given FOUR kids at $125 PER DAY ($50 for the first and $25 each for the other 3) These families put kids in basements and attics without outside exits. That requires a judge to sign off on in my state. The foster care system is designed to perpetuate welfare, traffic children, fill state coffers and protect abusers! We switched to a private company, but they were 2 hrs away and had a huge turn over of caseworkers d/t lack of pay and huge case loads of the least placeable kidsI We received a call, like clockwork every 6 weeks to tell us the name of our new caseworker. Not one ever scheduled a visit. I’d pull out my paperwork all the time and pray for children to love. After another 2 years hubby said to put the file away. I cried for years.
We were blessed to be able to have biological children, despite fertility issues and losses. Here it is 18 years later and as I type this the tears flow. I thought I had healed from this, but I guess not. I am still heartbroken, angry and frustrated. I want to see the animal foster parents treated like the kids they abuse. I want to see neglectful/criminal CPS workers and cops jailed, but most of I want all of those precious children loved, nurtured and thriving.
@@elioraimmanuel I can feel you pain through your words😔. I agree the system is broken, corrupt & evil. I pray for healing (for us all).
This is exactly what happened to Poor Gabriel Fernandez. God Please change the system 🙏❤️
Exactly, I watched videos on his case & that poor boy deserves justice & peace!! Every single person that knows about reports & does nothing should be charged. Every case should be followed up multiple times within a period of time & unexpectedly.
@@brittanyriggs4369 have FAith He will come ❤️
That's the first child I thought of when I saw this.
Poor Gabriel still hurts my heart every single time I think about him, which is often. He tried to get help and was just knocked down until one day he never got back up.
Let’s not forget about baby brianna 🥺 is similar to gabriel case it would broke yu heart if yu look it up
"Neighbors didn't know"? A child ran naked from the house and was found in a neighbor's backyard. There were people who knew something was up.. smh
If you wanna ruin an adults life you call the police but if you want to ruin a child's life you call DCS.
So true.
And yet the true family will have their children apprehended over anonymous fictional ‘calls’.
And when DCPS shows up, if the parents say they spank the kids the kids are taken away due to the parents' "abuse" of the children. If they say they don't spank them, the kids get taken away due to "neglect". Then we see houses of horrors such as this, or even worse!!! 😡
@Miss M Yep, it happened to indigenous kids for decades. Just taken from their mothers to sell through adoption to white families even though the mothers didn't DO ANYTHING and wanted their babies!
The system is 100% broken
Exactly
For kick backs!!! Money!!! The more kids in the system, the more money the STATE DISHES OUT!!! 💵💲🤑💸
They should prosecute DCS employees. They should receive no assistance.
For every child they do wrong should be time in prison. Which is really not good enough because some of these kids don't even make it out of these situations alive.
DCFS has never been a helpful organization, the fact that the organization hasn’t charged at least half of the employees with child neglect is insane
