THE TERRIBLE TRUTH ABOUT CPS AND DCS

Just recently, Gov. Janet Napolitano, Az. voted AGAINST a bill that would have helped change CPS.  The bill would have meant that CPS had a greater responsibility to investigate calls of alleged abuse rather than accept them at face value.  I can't imagine what she was thinking to have rejected this very important piece of legislature!  It makes me wonder just how aware she is regarding CPS or if she, too, like so many, is in "CPS' pocket."  I wrote the following letter to her:

Dear Gov. Napolitano,

DID YOU RESEARCH THIS MATTER OR JUST VOTE THE WAY YOU ARE BIASED?  ARE YOU
AWARE OF THE SHODDY WORK CPS/DCS ACTUALLY DO?  DO YOU KNOW THE NUMBER OF
FALSE ALLEGATIONS CALLED IN ON A DAILY BASIS AND THAT IF THEY INVESTIGATED
THEM, MOST WOULD BE INVALID?  BUT, INSTEAD, CPS/DCS TAKES THE REPORTS AT
FACE VALUE AND PROCESSES THEM SO THEY CAN PUT CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE.  ARE
YOU AWARE OF THE POLICIES/PROCEDURES OF CPS?  THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO ALL
THAT IS NECESSARY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER TO KEEP A CHILD FROM BEING PLACED
IN FOSTER CARE AND TO OFFER SERVICES, IF NECESSARY, TO THE PARENTS, TO
KEEP THE CHILD AT HOME.  ARE YOU AWARE THAT STATISTICS SHOW MORE CHILDREN
ARE ABUSED AND/ OR KILLED IN FOSTER CARE THAN IN THEIR OWN HOMES AND
CHILDREN ARE BETTER OFF LEFT IN A DOMESTICALLY ABUSIVE HOME THAN BEING
PLACED IN FOSTER CARE?  HAVE YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW BEEN PERSONALLY
INVOLVED WITH CPS/DCS AND YOUR/THEIR CHILDREN?  PLEASE RESEARCH, LIKE I
DID, AND BE KNOWLEDGEABLE BEFORE YOU MAKE AN IMPORTANT DECISION THAT
AFFECTS SO MANY! I SUFFERED FOR 16 MONTHS, LIKE HAVING 3 DEATHS IN A
FAMILY, WHEN MY  GRANDCHILDREN WERE PLACED IN FOSTER CARE.  MY HOME WAS
APPROVED FOR LIVING QUARTERS BUT DCS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE CUSTODY,
NOR ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER.  THE REASON IS IF THE MOM'S CUSTODIAL RIGHTS
ARE TERMINATED, THE CHILDREN ARE MORE EASILY ADOPTABLE.  THANK GOD, THEY
ARE NOW HOME WITH THEIR MOM AND I WILL GO TO MY GRAVE BEFORE THEY ARE EVER
PLACED IN FOSTER CARE AGAIN.  I LIVE IN TENNESSEE AND I FOUND SO MANY
AREAS OF NEGLECT AND VIOLATION OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND VIOLATION OF
CIVIL RIGHTS, I COULD PROBABLY SUE, BUT TO BE RID OF CPS/DCS IS EVEN
BETTER.  I ALSO BELIEVE BECAUSE OF MY DAUGHTER'S HARD WORK AND MY FINDINGS
AGAINST DCS, MY GRANDCHILDREN DID NOT HAVE TO STAY LONGER THAN 16 MONTHS. 
16 MONTHS IS A SHORT STAY FOR THE MOST PART.  SOME STAY FOR 2 OR 3 OR 5 OR
6 YEARS!  SOME ARE NEVER RETURNED TO INNOCENT PARENTS EITHER!  SO HELP ME
GOD THIS IS TRUE.  I FOUND IT OUT THE HARD WAY. HOW DID YOU?  YOU HAD THE POWER TO ESTABLISH A PRECEDENCE FOR A MUCH-NEEDED CHANGE IN CPS AND IT WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN THE BEGINNING OF SO MANY MORE THAT ARE NEEDED!  IF YOU HAD STEPPED OUT, BECAUSE YOU WERE AWARE THERE WAS A NEED FOR CHANGE, OTHER GOVERNORS MAY HAVE FOLLOWED YOU IN YOUR BRAVE ACT.  HOW SAD THAT IN THE YEAR 2006 THERE ARE STILL ELECTED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS NOT ATTUNED TO THE NEEDS OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS.  HOW SAD THAT "POLITICS" GETS IN THE WAY OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT CITIZENS; OUR CHILDREN!  WHAT A SHAME THAT YOU HAVE JUST ALLOWED CPS TO CONTINUE TO RIP FAMILIES APART IN A WAY AKIN TO DEATH AND TO CONTINUE THEIR CONTROL ON WHO BECOMES MEMBERS OF WHICH FAMILY, BY ADOPTING CHILDREN OUT THAT DON'T NEED TO BE ADOPTED OUT!!!  CPS CAN NOW CONTINUE TO OPERATE,  CLOAKED IN THEIR VEIL OF SECRECY AND PLOTS AND SCHEMES, WHILE MOST PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT EVIL AND HARM THEY DO.  GOD FORGIVE YOU FOR HAVING PASSED ON THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE BETTER PROTECTED FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.
