Regulations of Child Protective Services Agencies

Families are being abused by the very system, which was put into place to protect them. A checks and balance system to control Child Protective Services (CPS) Family Abuse needs to be put in place to ensure that the rights of the families involved are not violated. Help protect the children and families who cannot protect themselves.

It has long been said that Caseworkers who remove children from their homes are being given %u201CBonuses%u201D for the removal of children. It is also said that Children placed for Adoption (and Termination of Parental Rights also known as TPR) bring the caseworkers additional %u201CBonuses%u201D. This practice is morally unethical and must be stopped immediately.
