CPS: Can it ever be made to actually serve society and the people?

I have my doubts, frankly. As is the case in many other areas of modern Amerikan life, c. 2019, the very organizations you would think you can trust to do what is right for civilization and freedom, are actually some of the worst offenders in the realm of oppression and totalitarianism. So-called "Child Protective" "Services" (CPS) is simply too important to the PTB for them not to have well-financed front organizations in place to play the "controlled opposition," running interference against real reform or popular movements to abolish the CPS leviathan.

This is certainly true in the realms of public policy, religion and politics. Take The Heritage Foundation as exhibit A. This group is supposed to be a conservative, pro-freedom, laissez-faire capitalism-supporting organization, but they actually are the ones wrote NAFTA, are involved in the push for mandatory vaccination, the McSchool Charter-school agendas, and are always pushing for more foreign entanglements, etc., despite being presented by Faux News and others as the trustworthy "conservative" alternative that they most definitely are not.

Take the Catholic Church as exhibit B. They are supposed to be (officially) all about supporting the Biblical family, but have actually been all about pushing the LBGT agendas for the past 30-40 years, have a horrible record of covering for pedophilic rape by their employees, and are behind the push to mongrelize America and other Christian nations with unassimilable Muslims and other terrorist-infused elements of the third world.

Exhibit C, sadly, I am strongly suspecting, is the current occupant of The White House, who--hearkening back to Reagan (as he always does) seems to be playing the populist/conservative for election purposes, while running in the other direction on fiscal matters, and on many other fronts--a direction more akin to that of his liberal New York Democratic Party political upbringing, and lifelong (mostly now never discussed) political associations.

Sadly, I am beginning to suspect that the largest "pro parental rights" group in American may be becoming exhibit D...if they haven't been from the beginning. Consider this recent article, for example:

https://parentalrights.org/cps-video-critical-flaw/

I don't want to go overboard and declare it as fact, but my suspicions about the nation's largest "anti-CPS" group are continuing to mount as time passes, and this article is the most concerning evidence yet. While I agree that CPS has a serious hiring problem, and that the root of it is that there simply is not this immense pool of qualified investigators emerging from our liberal-left workforce training centers that pass as "colleges," ParentalRights.org seems to think there is, and that hiring "investigators" to supplement the "social workers" at CPS is a some major cure for what ails the entire milieu.

While I agree that this MIGHT make CPS occasionally act in ways the appear to be more in line with their stated mission, I have very strong doubts that "the culture" at the agency would permit any real improvements for families or for parental rights, no matter who they have doing which functions, and no matter how much money society is bilked for to "fix" a simply unretractable problem.

Take this excerpt:

"To improve our child welfare system, we have to improve the recruitment of the people working in it,” says AEI Resident Fellow Naomi Schaeffer Riley in the one-minute video.

Far too often, agents are not equipped to investigate and must rely on personal bias and 'gut' instinct instead. It’s damaging to families and can be heart-wrenching to those who thought they were getting into social work.

The video cites a national study showing a 30% turnover rate at CPS, with some agencies experiencing turnover rates as high as 65%. No wonder the employees leave so fast, if agencies are hiring the wrong people to begin with."

Maybe...or maybe there are simply way too many people who get hired who--despite the best efforts of their Communist professors--maintain a vestige of Americanism in their psyches, and simply are either too lazy to work even to the extremely low work-load standards that CPS has set in place, and/or too "decent" to adapt smoothly to the corruption merry-go-round that is modern CPS.

Nowhere in this article does the possibility of doing what I am now convinced is THE only RIGHT THING, and simply abolishing CPS altogether ever raised. Hmmm...

Another excerpt:

"Having the right people in the job—people trained in investigations—will reduce the number of unnecessary removals. That’s because an investigator will follow a process of deduction and not break families apart without hard evidence.

This highlights one reason we’re working in Congress right now to guide pending changes to the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. This bill, which funds and determines how CPS works in the states, must include basic privacy protections for families and recognize these agents not as “warm fuzzy” service providers, but for the investigators they are.

It’s a change that can save families. Eliminating unnecessary trauma to children while lowering caseloads for investigators sounds like a win-win to me."

A lot of times, the people you think are working for you are actually working for the western "swamp/deep state" and the moves they make (as good as they might sound on paper) towards political oversight and legislative reforms are designed PRIMARILY as pressure-relief valves to put the public back into state of complacency and inaction, while it's all "business as usual" at CPS.

I have actually made (and will continue to make) a somewhat similar argument to that proposed by PR.org here. YES, the people doing the investigations NEED TO BE PROPERLY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS, but they need to be law enforcement officers, strongly corralled by Constitution-respecting courts and trained/steeped in the rights of citizens and parents-- not more of he current crop of untouchables who are above the law at CPS.

This article may sound great on the surface, but NOTICE THAT THE END RESULT (per usual) will be a bigger, possibly more invasive CPS, with a greatly increased budget.

Sound familiar?

Beware both of Greeks bearing gifts, and policy-making bodies bearing elaborate solutions.
