CPS employee caught on camera telling 14-year-old girl to become a prostitute

Is there a CPS from the CPS?

Da **** kind of people we're hiring....

 

Crazy situation. Hard to imagine.

 

Qanon was right all along, deep state is taking our kids and selling them for sex in the big shithole liberal controlled cities.

 

I think CPS/DFPS is run by the state government so those would be members of the MAGA deep state.

 

Why is this in D&D - fire the employee and move on.

Nothing to debate about this.

yeah she looked like your typical Trumper.

 

We agree on something. Yet another dumb topic.

 

Sometimes people like to rage on CPS because they have power over your parental rights. So I can understand a hesitancy for putting it in hangout. It looks like no one wanted to go there in this thread though.

 

I knew you would come around

 

Ones that will take the job.

It's a thankless position that does not pay a lot and takes a huge emotional toll, you are not getting great people to sign up and the ones that do get burned out.

Not excusing this woman, just saying the applicant pool is not deep.

 

Absolutely

I seriously doubt anyone here would step up to take the position

Wow has 9 kids…. Which she cannot take care of emotionally or financially.

As a result of her and the fathers lack of accountability there are 9 kids that are not being raised well.

At least one of her children lives in a hotel and has a CPS case worker.

CPS case work pays little and is hard, and these case workers have limited resources.

CPS case worker tells 14 year old to become a prostitute because her parents are irresponsible and cannot support her and likely because the CPS workers gets a kick back from sex traffickers.

The parents, the state and the case worker all let the minor down. Yet the mom finds time to blame CPS for the situation the 14 year old is in and seeks money. The CPS claims it is an isolated person.

My guess? The 14 year old ultimately ends up a prostitute.

 

Per the article, the mom asked for CPS' help. She is obviously in a tough spot and it may be of her own making, but it sounds like she was trying to do the responsible thing and get help where she couldn't do it alone. Don't think we should assume the worst of her.

 

The issue is there is little oversight of people who have a lot of power. This includes CPS, judges, and police officers.

 

CPS rank and file don't have a lot of power, they are essentially worker ants that just do the busy work in the field and administratively.

The court system holds all the power there.

They certainly don't have the power of judges and cops.

 

Probably isolated incident. Much bigger problem:

Texas child welfare agency scrambles as turnover hits new high (houstonchronicle.com)

Nearly 2,300 employees have left the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services since the beginning of the year, stressing an agency that has already experienced some of the highest turnover rates of any large state department.

In interviews and at public town halls, more than two dozen current and former employees described a department that has been stretched thin for more than a year, needlessly losing passionate workers who carry decades of experience and knowledge. From dangerous overtime shifts watching children in hotels to political drama to problems with their supervisors, workers say the agency has lost its mission — and in the end, it’s Texas kids who suffer for it.

 

Yea, like this. For-profit child detention - a norm in the US.

Kids-for-cash judges ordered to pay more than $200M (yahoo.com)

Two former Pennsylvania judges who orchestrated a scheme to send children to for-profit jails in exchange for kickbacks were ordered to pay more than $200 million to hundreds of people they victimized in one of the worst judicial scandals in U.S. history.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner awarded $106 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages to nearly 300 people in a long-running civil suit against the judges, writing the plaintiffs are “the tragic human casualties of a scandal of epic proportions.”

In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, Mark Ciavarella and another judge, Michael Conahan, shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and accepted $2.8 million in illegal payments from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups. Ciavarella, who presided over juvenile court, pushed a zero-tolerance policy that guaranteed large numbers of kids would be sent to PA Child Care and its sister facility, Western PA Child Care.

Ciavarella ordered children as young as 8 to detention, many of them first-time offenders deemed delinquent for petty theft, jaywalking, truancy, smoking on school grounds and other minor infractions. The judge often ordered youths he had found delinquent to be immediately shackled, handcuffed and taken away without giving them a chance to put up a defense or even say goodbye to their families.

“Ciavarella and Conahan abandoned their oath and breached the public trust,” Conner wrote Tuesday in his explanation of the judgment. “Their cruel and despicable actions victimized a vulnerable population of young people, many of whom were suffering from emotional issues and mental health concerns.”

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out some 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 kids after the scheme was uncovered.

It’s unlikely the now-adult victims will see even a fraction of the eye-popping damages award, but a lawyer for the plaintiffs said it’s a recognition of the enormity of the disgraced judges’ crimes.

"It’s a huge victory,” Marsha Levick, co-founder and chief counsel of the Philadelphia-based Juvenile Law Center and a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said Wednesday. “To have an order from a federal court that recognizes the gravity of what the judges did to these children in the midst of some of the most critical years of their childhood and development matters enormously, whether or not the money gets paid.”

Another plaintiffs' attorney, Sol Weiss, said he would begin a probe of the judges' assets, but did not think they had any money to pay a judgment.

Ciavarella, 72, is serving a 28-year prison sentence in Kentucky. His projected release date is 2035.

Conahan, 70, was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison but was released to home confinement in 2020 — with six years left on his sentence — because of the coronavirus pandemic.

I believe that would be OIG.

Nothing to discuss with the idiot worker maybe worth mentioning article says she was support staff not a caseworker. It would be interesting to hear the full story about mom because you don't call CPS for help with your kids -- that would be the county MH/MR. Sounds like the kid was removed and they can't find a placement so she was put in a hotel supervised by some sort of tech which is crazy.
