As a rule I see family protection stories about CPS in special publics but this time I was watching a family drama on TV.
I don't watch TV in my everyday life but this time this story interested me because it touched CPS activity.
This story tells us about people who still believe that CPS is an organisation for family protection and keeping kids in families.
This story shows us how many people are still kind and naive to believe in this fairytale that ruins families every day.
I know the roots of this kindness and sincerity of people. They are people from the USSR, and at that time it was normal to have organisations that helped to save families. And families were really saved! It was the greatest importance to save families and parents for kids!
Now times have changed completely, and kids are considered to be good profit for CPS so they use any chance to take them away.
Sometimes CPS even don't need reasons to take kids away, they create these reasons by themselves.
So this time when there was a definite reason for CPS interraction, it was obvious that they would use that chance for sure.
It was a family with 2 kids (girl - 19 y.o, and the boy - 15 y.o).
Dad works in another city and comes home rarely. But the price for his absence is good profit for the family. He dies his best to earn money.
Mom thought she was too lonely and had too hard life with 2 kids without husband, and...she began to drink much alcochol.
Neither her Mom, nor her hubby could change her.
It lasted for some months, until CPS got info about it....
The woman's mother decided to take their HELP in this hard situation, she hoped the service would help to "awake" the mother and return her to the family.
Actually, it worked. The woman really stopped her caless life because....CPS are about to take her son away to the orphanage.
"The mother is drunk, the father does nothing to stop it" - it was their words.
So they both are guilty, and they both have no right to be parents for the boy.
The family is in despair. The mother is ready to do anything to change the situation and prove she is a nice mom, and that was just a mistake, but....
it's not so easy to prove anything for CPS
If their trap has been opened, it's hard to close it.
The story was shown on Tv, it is loud now, maybe family protectors could help the family now, though the fight will be long and hard....
