What Is Wrong With Children And Youth?
Posted by: Alan in Alcohol Counseling, tags: Children, What, With, Wrong, Youth
My cousin went out for her birthday with a friend, She has 2 kids that she sent to grandmas for the weekend. She did a very stupid thing..She did cocaine(First time)..and last. Her and the friend got into an argument and the friend call C&Y and reported her for doing drugs. They came checked her house and everything was fine, they gave her a urine test and left that was on a friday. They came back monday and took her 2 kids. Luckily her mom took them when C&Y placed them.. They told her she had to go to parenting,,which she finished successfully..she had to go to counseling which she finished successfull too. She also had to go to drug and alcohol…the worker told her to stay at her moms and help with the kids but do it with supervision, Thats 45 minutes away. She did becuz she wanted to be with her kids..In the meantime she lost her benefits and her job because she didnt have the gas to travel. She missed her appt to D&A classes because of this. She begged for her kids back.

Because apparently when you are a parent, you lose all you rights to be an adult. All you are is a parent nothing more. Any slip up means you cannot take care of the precious children therefore you must have the gov’t step in.
That is ridiculous!
You cousins friend is a c**t for called C&Y on her just because they had an arguement.

Their job is to protect children and that seems to be what they are doing. It is unfortunate that your cousin got caught the first time she did cocaine, but the job of Child & Youth services is to do what is in the best interest of the children and that is what is being done.
Lets hope its a lesson she doesn’t have to learn again.

C&Y or DCF are complicated governemnt social service programs.
Your cousin did NOT have to submit to a drug test, she could have refused. Also C&Y can NOT drug test unless they find the housing conditions questionable.
It is a sad story but a common one among low income families.

Sounds like the “child protective services” screwed up, not the kids. They’re big on hauling children away just because a two year old dashed out the door in the nude.

Sucks for her. What’s your question. Sounds like your title should be “what’s wrong with parents”

Very stupid decision. Hope she’s learnt her lesson. But what’s the question?
