Unbelievable! A neighbor who was a practicing witch became obsessed with my Christian daughter. She mage a report to CPS that I was a heroin addict. When they showed up I was friendly, but invited them to sit on my front porch. They wanted to inspect my home and have me take a drug test. I refused telling them to get a warrant. They said they didn’t have pc for a warrant. “Exactly “. I said. I invited them to go to my daughter’s work and find out if she was aware of me being strung out, abusive or negligent in any way.
That shut it down, but an emotionally unstable woman was able to prompt contact. It blows my mind that referrals from the police are ignored.

This poor girl deserved better. I hope everyone who failed her is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

So the take away children from healthy homes but leave the abused ones with their abusers?
We should demand accountability instead of letting them use their failures to demand more funds.
They're not overworked and underfunded when taking children from loving homes.
