It has been 4 weeks since my illintentioned DHR worker visited my home and stated " Your kids are ready to come home". At the time I had completed over 500 hours of services required to have my children returned. Along with 40 plus urine drug tests and 3 follicle tests aIl negative. I spoke in a previous post regarding DHR's funding policies and the amount of money received from the government per child in custody. Each state receives different amounts however it can be confirmed if you would like to do your own research, DHR receives thousands of dollars to keep children in their custody. In my case my worker keeps extending my childrens stay in custody to receive these funds. In fact I have had personal conversations with county workers that have confirmed this corruption in the system.
My question is this Why are my kids still in care when you admitted over 4 weeks ago its time for them to come home? Is it because my children's welfare is not the main priority, is it because my beautiful children are merely a cash number on the bottom line of your monthly/yearly budget? This soulless government program violates the rights of children and parents due to the almighty dollar?! You've put a dollar amount on the wellbeing of our youth and it is appalling how you justify your choices.
DHR is not the only corruption, the lawyers representing them and seperately representing the children involved would lose billable hours if these problems were solved properly and expeditiously.
Every weekend my children go back home to a foster situation they do not want to be at and do not need to be at. Is another day, minute and hour this system continues to collect funds to keep families apart.
I ask why? Why is this system not reformed? Is anybody listening? Does anyone care our children are being victimized, why is no one paying attention?
