Answers are due from DSS brass...
Answers are due from DSS brass By Boston Herald editorial staff Friday, July 6, 2007 http://news.bostonherald.com/editori...9834&srvc=home Jessica Silveira is a “wonderful mother” and her live-in boyfriend a regular Mr. Rogers around kids, at least according to the couple’s family and friends. Of course, how Silveira’s 3-year-old daughter ended up mauled and disfigured - by a human, allegedly that same live-in boyfriend, Bryan James - is a total mystery to those folks. But frankly we shouldn’t look to maddeningly impassive neighbors and friends to explain how a little girl could allegedly be bitten and mutilated for months, even after someone notified authorities that she might be a victim of abuse. No, that explanation simply must come from the Department of Social Services and its newly-minted commissioner, Angelo McClain, who is about to undergo a baptism by fire. That’s because DSS received its first report of abuse against the little girl back in January. But it wasn’t until May, after she was brought to Children’s Hospital Boston with bite wounds so severe they cost her part of her upper lip and one ear, that the child and her brother were removed from the home. Never will we underestimate the ability of an abusive parent to lie, and lie this “wonderful mother” allegedly did, according to New Bedford police, to cover up her boyfriend’s alleged assault. “The detective . . . noticed a pattern developing in regards to keeping the assault from DSS as well as other health care workers,” police said in a statement. But sadly, given the agency’s track record, the public doesn’t have much reason to be confident in the DSS response. If we’re wrong, then a detailed accounting of the response to this gruesome case - and a thorough explanation from the man who took over after the merciful ouster of hapless Harry Spence - will say so. If the allegations by police and prosecutors prove true, then it is Jessica Silveira and Bryan James who must be held to account for preying on an innocent child. But DSS certainly has some explaining to do, too. 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.... 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. 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... |
