They dont actually do much for curing cancer but raising money and awareness.

Conan also hit a poignant note:

The token black dude is just happy he doesnt have to rely on Nick Cannons paltry checks as much anymore.

Counseling takes time and its unsafe to put a child back into that situation when almost nothing has been done to help the parent with their grief especially when the parent wasnt ready to admit to anyone she had grief issues.

Ok so yes a guilty plea looks bad but that isnt the only part that will preclude you from a childcare job. The ACS case itself which is done within 60 days also makes you ineligible for a childcare job. She could have fought the case and won and still have that on her record.

Havent heard about this in a while. There used to be stickers all over the place warning people not to do this..

CPS workers have some say in the service plan but dont actually put it in place. When it comes to removals the foster agency is the one that handles the service plan and compliance. If there arent any removals the CPS worker makes a referral to the agency and then hands off the case to another division of ACS that is…

There are multiple factors at play and compounding issues. Her home was probably deemed not safe as a two year old managed to get out of the house and into the street. A belt is pretty severe for a two year old. On top of that the mother was arrested and then there is a “failure to plan” since no family members could…

In NYC there has been an effort bring the child into the equation more if they are at least 10 years old I believe. Older kids definitely do have some pull into how things go. I helped out on a removal of 7 children once and 5 of them ended up in non kinship foster care while the oldest child had a family friend he…

Less prosecutor and more investigator. Management is more akin to prosecutor since they actually make the calls and decisions.

Cant hold people against their will. Hell CPS has a central building where 90% of removal kids go through and they cant force the kids to stay there. Sure doors are locked but no one can physically stop them from leaving.

Also in NYC at least parents do get an advocate. Cant speak for other cities such as the one the person from the article was in.

As per NY Family law EXCESSIVE Corporal Punishment is against the law. There are actually 3 different sets of laws at play: Penal Code followed by NYPD, Family Court Law and then the rules and regulations of ACS itself. Family Court and Criminal Court proceed differently and then ACS and Family Court are very close to…

I think I actually met Jeannette Vega when I was training to be a CPS worker. The training academy really tries to drill home a lot of the empathetic qualities we should have and makes sure we try to see all sides of these situations. The reality is that the job is ridiculously difficult and takes a devastating toll…

Listen I may be 29 now but I remember just not having time for most of that shit. Literally. Im in school for 8 hours and then I got all my extracurricular shit like sports and clubs and I still had to do 7 hours of fucking homework(3 of which were spent writing essays about the symbolism of blue curtains in some emo…

Their large dedicated space was how they made money. I worked at a TRU and my assistant manager let slip that the new giant decal being put up by the entrance was being installed at 6 other locations and the company was making about half a mil off of that. That was just for 1 part of the store. Imagine what companies…

I was living in Helsinki awhile back ago and discovered that over there I fit into teen size jeans. They were almost 20$ cheaper. Apparently your average 14 yr old Finnish male is the same size as a full grown hispanic male.

The article backs up my point. They havent hit land but they have been occuring. They have been getting stronger due to climate change. There is an intentional mislead with the use of the word drought which implies a dryness or a lack of making it seem like “There have been no hurricanes for a long time!” when the…

We havent been in a draught. There have been the same amount of hurricanes they just havent made landfall. Just because you dont see a bear shit in the woods doesnt mean the woods arent full of bear shit.
