Foster girls who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured abuse at state shelter - GMDino - 03-10-2022 Ah, Texas. Always looking out for the children, amiright? https://www.texastribune.org/2022/03/10/texas-shelter-sex-trafficking-children/ Quote:The children were sexually abused and neglected while at The Refuge, a facility located in Bastrop contracted by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, according to a report from a current employee. But don't support your trans child in Texas. That would be "abuse".

Always looking out for the children, amiright? Sadly, this kind of thing is not a rare occurrence. It happens at group homes, or residential treatment centers, all over the country, including California. Children removed by DCFS, or its equivalent, definitely need more support and care than they are currently getting. But congrats on trying to turn the abuse of children into a partisan political issue. Seriously, consider getting help.

RE: Foster girls who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured abuse at state shelter - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 03-10-2022 For those inclined to agree with Dino's disgusting effort to make this a political issue, I provide you with some extremely disturbing instances from California, that hotbed of far right ideology. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-01-19/dcfs-la-county-noah-cuatro-anthony-avalos-gabriel-fernandez-full-coverage Please note that these are only the instances that managed to make the news. Now, let me please say that CSW's (Children's Social Workers) are overworked, have a mentally agonizing job and, in the vast majority of instances do their very best. I have close professional colleagues who work for DCFS, and one of my former officers started their adult career as a CSW. Literally during their orientation trainings they are taught how to deal with the mental breakdown they will, not might, have. It's a rough job, no one likes to see children suffering. Also, with one exception from my experience, the children involved still love and admire their parents, and view those removing them from the home as the real villains. I've been in homes with dead animals and feces strewn about the home. I've seen children who were kept in pet kennels for years, to the point that their limbs had atrophied from lack of use. I will spare you the details of the sexual abuse I have encountered during the course of my job, none of you need to hear that. So you will hopefully forgive me for taking umbrage when someone tries to turn the suffering of children into yet another attempt to demonize those they disagree with politically. It's nauseating, self serving and worthy of the highest levels of contempt.

RE: Foster girls who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured abuse at state shelter - basballguy - 03-11-2022 Shit like this should be reportable in this forum. This has nothing to do with Texas and everything to do with bad humans.

Additionally, a quick google shows children are less likely to be abused or mistreated in foster care versus gen pop. https://youthlaw.org/publication/foster-parents-who-are-they-and-what-are-their-motivations/ Also, over 80% of the kids in foster care don’t get there as infants.

Texas will give rights to robots before they do parents who love their trans child or pregnant women. They want to ban abortions, even in cases of rape, let anyone int he state sue if they see a parent supporting a trans child and also run a horrible foster care system. RE: Foster girls who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured abuse at state shelter - SunsetBengal - 03-11-2022 It's not just Texas, it's everywhere. My wife works for Children's Services, and she has dealt with plenty of such cases in both NC and Ohio.

Texas wins this round for also not caring about children and parental rights even when the child is not in their system. A larger discussion of CYS is also a good thing. But if the people running Texas want to say how much they care about the children they should put their money where their mouth is. RE: Foster girls who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured abuse at state shelter - Sled21 - 03-11-2022 Wanna be these abusers get long prison sentences instead of the slap on the wrist they would get in Kalifornia?

Agee to disagree . Seems to me if you force someone to have a kid they don’t want then the chances of the kid being abused or just having a shitty up bringing increase if they stay with the parents. At the same time people who are forced to have a kid they don’t want are probably more likely to put a kid into foster care than people who are not forced to have kids.

I saw the Gabriel Fernandez story on Netflix or something. It’s hard to believe people like that exist. Yes we don’t want children’s services taking kids out of their homes at the drop of a hat but good Lord did they drop the ball there.

It’s hard to believe people like that exist. Yeah, I work with DCFS a lot and believe me your standard employee there was intensely embarrassed and distressed about that. I've trained a large number of officers and I always tell them that cutting corners to save ten minutes today could cost you your job at worse to taking hours, if not days, to fix later. Even if you're not motivated by doing your job right you would hope that simple self preservation would be enough to stay on top of things. Sadly, that is not always the case.

But your earlier comment implied kids were more likely to be abused in foster care thus the "pro choice" comment. That aside, there are MILLIONS of couple who seek out children to adopt. Infants have virtually a 100% adoption rate. Hell, often times the parents are already lined up before the child is even born. Which translates (to me) almost every single infant put up for adoption is going to a loving home. I support your pro choice stance but I think if you drill down a little you'll find tying it to your perceived view of foster care doesn't make sense.

It makes plenty of sense. Kids without loving parents are more susceptible to abuse imo.

Of course if a parent doesn't love their child they're more susceptible to some sort of abuse...though I'm not sure it's even possible to have data on who loves their kid and who doesn't.......but that has nothing to do with foster care or pro choice.

I'm not shifting my position. I already said agree to disagree. I'm not sure what you want to argue about. It's a story about kids being abused in the foster care system. Not the first time I have heard this theme and sadly won't be the last. I think forcing people to have unwanted children would increase the number of kids who experience this type of reality. It's a preconceived notion you are not going to change. And like you said the data isn't even going to be out there. RE: Foster girls who’d been victims of sex trafficking endured abuse at state shelter - BigPapaKain - 03-11-2022 Plenty of things to bash Texas for. This is just awful human beings doing awful things. You can find that in any 10 mile radius.

When it ties in to what Texas does under the guise of "protecting the children" they get extra special credit for this one. |
