[QUOTE="klmno, post: 480732, member: 3699"] That's exactly my point, too, DJ. And, the state is backing that families need to be reunited when possible (not in extreme cases like your examples). Money comes in- local jurisdictions just keep spending it to do more of the same. It reminds me of when discrimination became illegal- the local people spent years going thru loopholes just doing what they'd always done before 'bigger' people stepped in enough to make a change on a local, ITRW, change,. The same with accessibility laws and Special Education laws- heck - look at the local jurisdictions that still try to pull koi on a parent in IEP meetings- 'we voted on it so you have to agree and sign'. The general public really doesn't know this is against the law. How hard is it to find an attny to back you up against a local agency that a typical American can afford? People complain that 'parents won't raise their kids'- the majority of parents DO try to raise their kids- in spite of a sd telling them how to, the threat of dss called in if they discipline them, and Department of Juvenile Justice taking over their lives when they hold their kid accountable. It's the local govs trying to raise the kids- actions speak louder than words. [/QUOTE]
