2nd Congressional hearing on CPS conduct adoption, foster care

Fortunately, our legislators are not as EASILY FOOLED as the mercenary posters
to this NG.

They know that we are funneling money to an EXTREMELY DYSFUNCTIONAL Government
institution--who sorely lack both accountability and oversight.

The House Ways and Means Committee does not just willy-nilly convene hearings
on what Child Protective does. Even they know that real REFORM IS NEEDED, and
quickly, too.
