The sad fact is kids are not thought of as people. If child is forced to have sex its molesting. If an adult is forced to have sex its rape. A cop killer gets more time than a child killer. I am not saying its any less devastating to kill a police officer I just am just trying to say our system is flawed. Children should be protected and loved.Im not sure if anyone has said this yet, but it was probably this incident between EGs boys and JH that prompted her arrest. The timing of the report and her arrest is not coincidental. It was extremely critical that Lucas and the baby were included because she had not yet been stripped of access to those two like she has her older two. This is so important because if she were to make bail and shes not formally charged with a crime against her children, by law SRS would be forced to start working towards a family reunification plan. I spent a year with SRS for my practicum several years ago and its common for a child to be removed from both parents who reside together even if only one was responsible for abuse. I dont believe for a second EG kicked out JH, it was just good timing for her to claim that as they were moving from one place to another. The only way for EG to regain her visitation with her kids was to separate from the accused abuser. I cant tell you how many times wed catch a parent violating conditions in which a particular person wasnt supposed to be around the children if they wanted to keep their kids in the home. Since the complaint was against JH however, the fact EGs been charged with endangerment due to drugs, that accounts for the 3 charges listed against her online. Most likely she either admitted to using something or she failed a drug test. Its very difficult to take an incident with the two boys against her for Lucas and the baby so its a much safer thing to find something else like drugs instead.
I will say this, there is no question in my mind that SRS has failed many children over the years, but keep in mind the only cases you will ever hear about publicly are the bad ones. I have seen first hand all the kids who were saved and taken out of horrible situations. And because I was a MSW student I got to see the entire process-from the very first phone call all the way to termination of parental rights in court. Its sad because parental rights trump a childs wellbeing, and it all boils down to what you can, and what you cannot prove in court. I think the straw that broke the camels back for me was meeting with a parent behind bars to work a family reunification plan all because we couldnt prove yet a child was at risk. Im thankful for the experience because it successfully cured me from ever wanting to work in that environment again.
Anyway this is my opinion.
That and Im wondering if there is such a thing as a lo-jack for kids. Some kind of GPS so I can locate my kids anytime I want.
