Let Innocent People Have Children & Families Without Government Interference
- Target: George W. Bush, President of the United States of America
- Sponsored by: monica keehn
I want Child Protective Services(CPS) to leave stigma and stereotypes alone and to quit saying that a certain type of people will abuse their children, and take children into their custody when no abuse has occurred.
The day that I had my son, CPS took custody of my son because my husband and I have mental illnesses. We are in treatment, but they still think that we have the potential to harm our child. I have joined many clubs online for mothers - because of their mental illness, having a C-Section, being single and weak after giving birth, etc... - who have had children taken away at birth.
It is not fair to assume that these people can't take care of their children. People with mental illnesses have the right to have children and have families. Just because people who have an occasionally messy house, have a disability, go to McDonald’s everyday or have had a troubled past doesn't mean we can't be good parents. Save your money for kids who are being abused, not for ones who have a so-called potential of abusing their children.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
