I have had to deal with all the wrongfully statements from SRS and all there so called advocates."protective custody" means if a child is in an unsafe envoriment and a concern person thinks they are doing right to save a mother/child then they take from a safe home.Then they will try all LIES to adopt the child out ( the ones they no are not drug addicted).However, will give a child to a addicted parent and say rehab.or give to a parent that abuses the mother so that they can get money for there stay in the system.Meanwhile makes you go thru all these classes (which not a bad thing)and then turn around and place a child in a overcrowded abuser home.Now we see Nola Foulston wants to place a concern.I wonder if it from her policial stand point or is it just for show and after all this blah blah blah coming out of her mouth for her to get re-elected. I hope not due to we got a lot of children getting killed at the hands of the people they trust.
Prosecute people who make bogus reports and then the police will have fewer B.S. reports to investigate. That will give them plenty of time to save the kids who are in real danger. Also, save the space in "protective custody" for kids who are actually in danger! For each child that is going to be murdered NEXT year in Wichita by their drunk/high parents, there are probably 100 children in "protective custody" right now because they got hurt falling off a skateboard, or wore the same jeans to school 2 days in a row, or they had dirt under their fingernails, or all they had for breakfast was pop tarts, or they are "always bored" at home, or some other lame reason!
There have been a number of people in Wichita stepping forward and screaming and yelling and trying to get the word out to the public, people don't listen unless it is a horrific scene. The sad issue is abuse in foster care and in the system is ignored and swept under the rug so we have a nice pretty picture. There have been marches, candlelight prayers, trips to Topeka, Talks with Legislators. Sedgwick County has a problem. You ask where have the family advocates been? We were here all the time, spending after work hours, and vacation time to work on this problem. Where is all the child savers when a child is abused in the system or a parents rights are terminated because of lies. Bring on an invesstigation we certainly need one... when a child is abused
The "KEY" is when a person calls to report child abuse or neglect..SRS NEEDS and SHOULD respond to the calls..they have NOT BEEN PERFORMING THEIR DUTY. Fact: I and others I have known have called SRS regarding neglect and abuse on a child or children, SRS NEVER went to the home!!!! Sad that it takes 6 children to die of abuse before Child Safety Advocates steps in...
