Thats good and all but thats not the deal. Youre perception of the deal is completely wrong and not even the wrong the game companies want you to believe is right. Loot Boxes and its variants are designed around getting you addicted and extracting extra cash from you. The deal you stated is the deal for a complete…

The enjoyment is not the reason for the mechanic they dont give a shit that your happy they want you hooked they want your money. Theyre arent asking how happy does this make someone they ask is this hitting the right brain centers and releasing the right chemicals.

Due to regional accents I think its the second R that gets dropped.

Overzealous managers* The worker doesnt do a removal without consulting their supervisor, their manager and Zone Deputy Director.

Im not saying the kid should not have been removed but it should not have been an emergency removal with the worker using their emergency removal powers. The child was in a safe environment(the hospital) and the child abuse specialist would be able to say whether or not the fracture was the result of a fall or blow.…

Theyre SVUs. Theyre job is to figure out these things out as compassionately as possible (not to say they dont get all Stabler from time to time). They spend a lot of time with Social Workers and children.

The removal in the first story seems odd. Some more context would he helpful like what city and some time frame of when it happened. In NYC the rules for emergency removal is that the children are in danger of harm or soon to be in danger of harm. If there is no immediate “danger” then just go to court and have the…

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.
