I saw the story the other night on the local news. Apparently a twelve year old girl was murdered by her uncle and had been raped previously. CPS was aware of the case but did nothing to intervene for the child.

That is pitiful but what really enraged me was the response of the CPS supervisor. Ard states “that ‘State Office’ is aware of how these cases are being handled, and until they start paying a worker more money, this is the type of work they’re going to get.” That is beyond sorry as an excuse for being a lazy, good for nothing, state employee.

That makes me absolutely furious. How dare they use that excuse as a reason to cover up a sloppy investigation. I don’t get paid much money to take care of the elderly but that doesn’t mean I don’t try my hardest.

A person who is lazy and sloppy is that whether they get paid a load of money or not. People such as this should not be allowed to take care of the elderly or precious children.

It is a matter of character, not income. It is apparent to me that the workers that work for CPS have little to no character and throwing more money at them wouldn’t change that one bit.

Helen Keller had a wise opinion on character: “Character can not be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.”

Hmmm, doesn’t say a blooming word about money in that quote does it? If you are in the business of taking care of children or the elderly and care more about money than their welfare my suggestion is that you get out of the business. Those of us that do care don’t want you there.
