America's dead children and Child Protective Services

CPS in Sweden also often acts in an irresponsible way and they have never ever got any penalties of the abuse that they have caused children and their parents, the lack of CPS responsibility of the abuse they them selves have caused is really a very big issue.

"The pattern of these types of deaths has become the norm in this country.  A child dies of abuse or neglect and then it is later discovered that CPS was already involved with the family, that the child was a foster child, or had been adopted by the parent who killed them.  CPS is rarely held accountable in these cases, even when negligence is proven; there is no punishment for the agencies that are legally obligated to perform the duties of Child Protection.

The director's and social workers in these cases hide behind confidentiality laws, that were initially implemented to protect families and children, but that now seem merely in place to protect CPS.  They also hide behind immunity laws that make it nearly impossible for them to be held accountable for these children's deaths.

Criminal prosecution for these workers is almost unheard of, even with proof of forged documents, perjury, failure to perform statutory duties, and in some cases a complete and total disregard for the well being of the children entrusted to their care.  These workers, their supervisors and all involved, walk away from these deaths free and clear without any ramifications for their behavior at all, often times right back into the office and back to work, like nothing ever happened.

It is hard to get a District Attorney or the Police to investigate the people they work so closely with on a daily basis, who they may even consider friends."
