Re: What is wrong with people? REALLY! OMG

I certainly agree on the case worker issue if they didn't think twice about putting so many children in one home - unless they felt that they were getting good care. How old were these kids?

But where will they be if no one takes them? Better or worse conditions than that described?


Look, if they're getting 80K a year, they can take turns watching the kids sleep and not cage them with no bedding. Period. End of story. It's not noble, what they're doing. It's also really stupid of whatever social services group placed them with these people. You can't have 11 kids in a one-family day care, much less 11 special-needs children (if in fact they all really are) in a single family household. And I still find it absolutely impossible to believe that 11 otherwise well-behaved children turn into such raving maniacs with the rising of the moon that all 11 of them have to be placed in cages without any bedding. It's complete bull pucky.


Let's face it -- even the most "law and order" among us would find it unacceptable if our prisons were to keep convicted felons in 3x3' cages to sleep. Why, then, should it be acceptable to do so with children whose only "offense" is to be disabled? Heck, I wouldn't even feel too comfortable about someone using that sort of arrangement for eleven dogs in one home.

I'm sure the parents didn't get all eleven at one fell swoop. At what point should they have discovered that they had their hands full and couldn't reasonably accommodate any more children? Certainly before they had all eleven. And why didn't whatever the agency which did the placement do an in-home investigation at some point in the process? Would any reasonable case worker approve a placement if the parents said they intended to keep the child in a cage at night? I have a feeling that the parents aren't going to be the only ones with a lot of explaining to do...
