Oh wow. Don't think I could do that. Did you talk to or consider talking to the parents?
Personally I feel paternal to all kids and would rather try a few steps before getting cps involved.
Kid says bad words, and plays outside so you call an agency known to kidnap kids by force, traumatize families relentlessly, trespass and harass them with armed individuals?
This world is so fucked up..
You probably need a job. Something to spend your spare time on.
I'm sure he'll be better off with cps. They always make the lives better
A lot of people have idealized versions of these agencies in their heads, they don't really understand the reality of it.
Cps will not show up and take this kid away on their first call. A cps visit may be a wake-up for the parents. If it's not the first call, maybe the kid would be better off somewhere else.
Yes, I got good knowledge of CPS in my country (not the US). I intended this to be a wake up call for them. They leave him alone afternoon after afternoon.
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
