#pressure cps

[youth-liberation-june]

CPS needs to keep parents more accountable than with semi-monthly visits.

make it so the kid can always—and has to be able to—contact the worker if there's anything wrong.

“but one worker isn't going to be available 24 hrs a day—” make it 2, then. double it & give it to the next kid.

they need to also make it so the birth parent can't take away the kid's phone, their contact.

i don't have a concrete idea as to how we could actually do that, but:

i'm thinking there could be an endless phone line the kid can stay on, (w/o any worries for data consumption) that doesn't track any personal info w/o permission, or lets them hang up w/o showing their face.

ik 🤷🏽 so if y'all could give me some recs or boost this post to get to ppl who have more ides that'd be gret 👀👄👀

Pressure The Incompetent

Child Protective Services (CPS) are not always helpful. Especially with cases of emotional abuse. From personal experiences and many relatable stories, CPS appears extremely unhelpful for children trapped in emotionally abusive homes and seeking a way out. Emotional abuse is extremely dangerous. It comes in many forms (body shaming, slut shaming, manipulation, negligence, picking favorites, etc.), it is a type of "hidden abuse", it is extremely mentally damaging, it is extremely hard to escape, and it is extremely hard to prove. Unfortunately, many forms of emotional abuse are often disregarded by society, and this includes authorities such as CPS. They will not defend a victim unless they present the effects of physical abuse. They will wait until you're injured or dead. There needs to be more dire consequences for perpetrating emotional abuse. There needs to be more attentive and thorough investigations done by the proper authorities (CPS). There needs to be more justice for emotionally abused children. In some states and/or counties in the U.S. emotional abuse does not make the parent unfit. This needs to change, or else many, many children will continue to suffer and/or die. Pressure those in power who ignore the issue of child abuse, especially emotionally abusive cases. Do not let them dismiss grave problems and leave the victims trapped and helpless. Pressure the incompetent.

like, what do you mean you can invite ppl i don't feel comfortable around to our house, at the expense of my comfort?

it's only the obvious cps needs to know about. kids deserve the same basic human rights as any adult.

and that includes adults with intellectual disabilities, whom you can't use the “their brains aren't fully developed! they don't know what they're doing!” stereotype on.

adults make MANY bad decisions, but they're never objectified for it. adults can act like adult-children. it's common sense that we shouldn't revoke them of their basic human rights because of that.

we can do this. pressure cps. pressure the incompetent.
