Political Notebook by Daniel Scarpinato : Comparing CPS errors to
typos draws ire Political Notebook by Daniel Scarpinato Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.04.2007 http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/194902.php Maybe there's a reason you're not supposed to compare apples to oranges — oftentimes, mixing the two can leave a real bad taste in your mouth. During a press conference this week, Ken Deibert, deputy director of the state's Department of Economic Security, which oversees Child Protective Services, was asked what he would say to legislators who are critical of his agency. CPS has been under intense scrutiny after two children died, and a third is presumed to have died, under the agency's watch. Deibert tried to do what a lot of officials try: Compare what his agency does to what the reporters in the room do. "I can read the newspaper every day and find typographical errors," he said. "I can find misquotes. I can find errors in what you all do, but I'm sure you strive for perfection and have processes in place to try to make yourself more perfect. We do the same thing. We're dealing with human beings, and human beings, at times, are unpredictable." State Rep. Jonathan Paton, the Tucson Republican who is calling for changes at CPS, didn't care for the comparison. "You can fix typos," he said. "But there's no way for you to fix three dead kids, and to compare the two diminishes these kids as human beings." Deibert, calling Paton's criticisms "incredibly incredulous," said he was not trying to equate the two. "It's an analogy," he said. "I was talking to a group of reporters. ... In no way was I ever trying to make the comparison that the death of a child is no worse than you guys making a typographical error. That's absurd." CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington.

BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
