RE: Our Homeless Experience Part 6: The Shelter, Part 1
This type of behaviour is so typical of CPS (Child Protective Services.)
They force you away from a home (your RV) that was WAY BETTER than the shelter they made you and your children stay in. They actually put your children into danger, when there was very little danger to begin with before they got involved.
They do the same thing when they remove children and put them into foster care -- much of the time their parents (even if they had some real problems) were MUCH MUCH better and more loving than the Foster Parents who they are forced to live with.
They consistently put the children in worse situations than they were in the first place.
I am so sorry that you were forced to go through this, and live in deplorable conditions all because they blackmailed you that they would kidnap your precious innocent children if you did not do it.
Thanks for sharing your story here on Steemit with us.
Most likely the lady at the CPS believes the family shelter is an OK place - and who would blame her with such a spotless first impression of that shelter. It could also be that the other rooms are OK, that @hickorymack has just been super-unlucky with her room.
Based on what I see, the children of the previous tenant there would probably have been much better off in a foster home than with their mother (or perhaps, father).
Unfortunately it was not just our space. I publicly embarassed these people by getting these photos on the news. They then did an inspection of all six family shelter apartments. Three other sofa sets soon sat at the dumpster next to mine.
Four out of six are bad odds.
