[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 495717, member: 1550"] Working in a day care center, we KNOW many of the kids are abused. Heck, some have mother's new boyfriends (some looking very menacing) to deal with every month or so, whenever she switches boyfriends. In Wisconsin (not sure about the entire country) we were told at an inservice which had two CPS workers there that there is NOTHING they can do about verbal abuse, no matter HOW abusive. I raised my hand and asked about if a parent routinely said that he/she hated the child and that the child was the devil, they could honestly get away with it? I was told "yes." The only way they can really remove a child from home is if there are serious bruises or proof of sexual abuse. Kind of shocked me. There are many children all of us feel sorry for and wish to help, but there is nothing we can really do other than send over a social worker of ours and try to teach the parents how to parent (if they want to learn). It would be very difficult for me to sit and listen to a child being abused all day. It would break my heart as I'm sure it breaks yours. [/QUOTE]
