		<description>Florida DCF has placed one of my granddaughters in my care. She was born with drugs in her system and in order to keep her, her parents were told to bring her to my house. 30 days later, the case was droped by DCF. Parents moved out and left the child with me. They would come and get her about every other week for a few hours and according to parents room mates, the parents not only were doing drugs while having the child there but were trying to get her high also.
Now they have given the parents a case plan in order to get this beautiful baby back. 
The parents have stolen guns, sold drugs, starved to death a pet cat and  snake because they forgot about them.
Is the state really thinking that setting in a few classes are going to make sure they remember to feed this baby and when no one is looking they will not do drugs while she iis there? Give me a break. This Florida system needs changed. The first 6 months DCF was involved, the parents continued to do drugs, only visited about 1/2 of the time that they could have. Never payed child suport, never sent her a birthday gift. Forget the parents rights. This baby has never lived in another home, beleives that my husband and myself are her parents and trust us to all ways be there for her. If DCF has its way, the only thing this child has left to beleive in will be taken away also.
When are we going to think of the Childrens Rights? not just beleive the best thing is to be with their parents. O. lets not forget the fear that the parents might bring a suite against DCF if they do not get their children back. Government Open Your Eyes. These children are not objectives. They breath, feel, fear, think, LOVE and HURT.</description>

		<description>Why do you think cabinet agency SCDSS or the SC Family Court operate any better? 

But, Florida is a GREAT example of what happens when you start contracting-out CPS services (you know, for the sake of small govt and this has been going on at least since the Jeb Bush days). I have known some of those Florida private agencies to place children where you wouldn&#039;t want your dog to go.</description>

		<description>What in goodness&#039; name is wrong with our country and how it treats our children? Why is a great number of the population infected with the child abuse/neglect syndrome? It is a scourge and I believe that so many in positions to protect children are knee-deep in child porn, pedophelia, etc. that it&#039;s a trickle-down effect. God, this is sickening. In my county, I was told by a police captain that if they took every child out of an environment they needed to be out of, there would be nowhere to put them. What an attitude and what a shame.</description>

		<description>This article, albeit well written, is reserved in sharing the horrific truths in this case and 1000s like it here in Florida. Children in the system are without rights, they are disposable. 

These children have had their rights violated by their biological parents, DCF, and the court. The court took an oath so I hold that entity to the highest standard. The parents just reproduce. This court has its own agenda and the best interest of Florida&#039;s children is not even on the draft copy. Why? No idea. I would guess dead children and live children are equal. Not to me. Our children are our future. How can these politicians not feel that the same? We are supposed to address them as Honorable, why? When I read the obituaries of these children after they are “reunited” with this biological disaster,the mother, Should I send copies to the Honorable Governor or the Honorable Judge? I think not. Perhaps Dishonorable is a title more fitting.</description>
