The CPS Mill

The CPS Mill

CPS, CPS takes children away
Puts them in placement far away,
There are some children that do need to be taken
But for the innocent families they are left shaken

To the core of their very sad souls
It’s the states money out it doles,
For children placed in Foster Care
Years passing don’t have a prayer 

What will become of them I wonder
When grown will they put us under,
Turning to drugs and crime
Then sit in a cell and hence do time

Or adopted out into a “nice family”
But we really do not know their agony,
Other kids fostered to pay the bills
The “nice family” runs their home like a puppy mill

God help them all, what chance do they have
Depending on others on their behalf,
Getting through life suffering anxiety
In the future only to seek out psychiatry

CPS is there to thank
They all should really walk the plank,
For what they’ve done to families
And causing children to suffer maladies

Hello Maryann...

Did you hear about the Mother who's 4 year old daughter was screaming as the woman carried her to the Lake and drowned her?

Another Mother drowned her child and set her on fire...

Have you seen the World's 10 youngest Mothers?

There's something so very wrong and it's so hard to live in a world so messed up, but we're here and I don't really know if we live many lifetimes but, if we do...

I want to get it right...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hello!!
 Thank you so much for your kind words! I try to incorporate the two sides.  There are kids that need to be removed for obviously horrible reasons then there are the good parents that get their children taken away for no good reason.  Then what happens in Foster Care to them and how do they function afterward?  The world is a mess.  I don’t see it as a safe place to raise kids as a family who will be left alone by CPS.  It’s scary.

Thank you.  I become angered at this system and try to show both sides of it.  But the outcome is devastating to the kids that go through it.  CPS has got to be dismantled and handled some other way. Others say the police should handle the calls—maybe there would be less false accusations? And good families wouldn’t lose their kids.....  thank you for you kind words
