Ken Schram: When more is not always better
With the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), it's always more. More dead children. More excuses. More bureaucracy. http://www.komotv.com/news/8232372.html Yesterday it was the 16-year-old girl who reportedly suffered 10 years of abuse and torture at the hands of her foster mother, including being stabbed in the eye with a hypodermic needle because she didn't pack a suitcase properly. Today it's the foster mother charged with killing a 7-year-old boy who died of thirst. Where was DSHS when that boy's femur was broken? Where was DSHS when his front teeth were knocked out? Eli Creekmore. Lauria Grace. Zy'Nyia Nobles. Follow the decades old trail of dead and abused children and you will end up at the DSHS door. We keep burying children; DSHS keeps burying us in empty promises of more accountability. Let's face it: the good people who work at this agency - and there are many - are stymied by the bumbling incompetents who set and implement policy and whose only real mission is to cover their ass when another child turns up dead or another multi-million dollar settlement is reached. Do something, governor. Do something now. If you'd like to urge Governor Gregoire to take action on this matter, the following link will provide you access to her office number, her fax and her email address: http://www.governor.wa.gov/contact/default.asp Please use it. SPECIAL NOTE: I'm asking any DSHS employees, especially those who work directly with children and/or foster families, to contact me via e-mail. If any substantive changes are to be made; if we are to force the issue of better care for some of the most vulnerable children in our state, your help is needed. I promise to protect your anonymity. ---- Have something to say to Ken? E-mail him at . CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....

No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed.

THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
