And see the distress it puts the child in when they are away from thier parents for any amount of time.

And so in the great wisdom of CYFS they think

IT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS TO PREVENT KILLINGS

Wow, no wonder these people who make these decisions get paid the big bucks.

Statistics showed children living in households with
an adult unrelated to them were almost 50 times as likely to die of
an inflicted injury as those living with two biological parents.- SO WHEN A CHILD IS BORN IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD, IT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS TO PREVENT KILLINGS

I stayed in one of those homes and I can tell you personally they are the worst. Very strict religiously with little empathy of what it is to be a teenager. And when I say religiously I mean using the rod helps the child learn discipline.

And this is what can happen now that we open the door for rape going back 20 years and domestic violence. Now we can all go against people who did things back in the days when things were not \’in the best interest for the children.\’
