Forgive any voice typing errors I'm in too much pain to correct anything but a friend of mine who is now 43 suffered such horrific abuse of every imaginable kind throughout her childhood and of course on into adulthood the likes of which are just incredible to hear and even she said calling CPS and the Foster system is worse than what she endured with horrific sexual abuse rape horrific physical abuse starvation the system is a nightmare and then there are some overzealous caseworkers like what happened to me when my son was depressed and in junior high and although he went from the hospital to a Subacute facility they threatened to send him to a residential home in handcuffs and I wanted to discharge him because if he had to go there I wasn't going to have him take him there like a prisoner but the Oregon caseworker decided to fax in an emergency custody order just because I had questions about some papers he wanted me to sign and I wanted to talk to a lawyer there are far too many narcissists Control Freaks and just utter sociopaths in the social work system it boggles the mind and I don't know what anybody can do about it to make anything any better but there has to be a better way to screen and monitor foster parents so that the bad ones don't get through and so that more good people are motivated to participate
