That's a GREAT question! Let's figure this out:
1999- There was a reported 3,000,244,000 calls of alleged maltreatment reported to CPS agencies
From 1987-1997 the calls increased 45% (could have something to do with the anonymous number given to anyone who has a bone to pick with a parent)
62% of these reports were considered "neglect" which could include anything from unwashed dishes in the sink to refusal of a parent to give their kid a snack just before dinner.
National statistics show that a child is 3 times more likely to be abused, neglected or die in foster care than in parental care.
Most children removed are under the age of 5
Approximately 96% of all cases are Unfounded and Unsubstantiated, meaning a social worker visited the home and could not find any reason to continue the case.
The agency is so corrupt, Senator Nancy Shaefer of Georgia, spoke to Congress about the gross misconduct around October, 2008. She was promptly voted out by December of the same year.
In my opinion, it costs Billions to run the agency and the damage it does to families and children......
is priceless.
