INDIANAPOLIS -- Hospitalized Boy's Relatives Blast Foster System,
Hospitalized Boy's Relatives Blast Foster System
Mother: Child Shouldn't Have Made It To Pool http://www.theindychannel.com/news/14195364/detail.html POSTED: 8:13 pm EDT September 24, 2007 UPDATED: 8:35 pm EDT September 24, 2007 INDIANAPOLIS -- Relatives of a 3-year-old boy who was found unconscious in a swimming pool while in foster care say the state's child welfare system failed him. Bruce Rawnsley (pictured) was in a coma and in critical condition at an Indianapolis hospital Monday after being pulled from a pool Saturday, his family said. A Martinsville-area foster family was baby-sitting Bruce for the foster family to which he was assigned when he got to a neighbor's pool, according to his relatives. "I told them time and again, you can't turn your back on him -- not for one second. He is fast," his mother, Kathleen Lawrence, told 6News' Ben Morriston Monday. State child welfare workers took Bruce and his three siblings from Lawrence two months ago. A hearing on whether the Indianapolis woman could get her children back was postponed last week, before the pool incident. "They're supposed to be in protective service. (The children) are more protected with their mother than what they are in the system," said Bruce's grandmother Carolyn Lawrence. Bruce's baby sitters told investigators that the child was out of their sight for just minutes. Kathleen and Carolyn Lawrence told 6News that they should have known he had a tendency to wander. The Indiana Department of Child Services and the Morgan County Sheriff's Department are investigating the pool incident. "They'll speak with all the adults involved and anyone else who may have been around, and then what they'll do is they'll really assess the situation and they'll try to determine if neglect or abuse would have been a factor involved in that," IDCS spokeswoman Susan Tielking said. The state's investigation could take up to 60 days to complete, Morriston reported. 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. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. 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. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... 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... |
