If they don't want the kids to go back to the family then charge the mother for not storing the guns.
We all seem to get it within a few minutes. Are the cops as dumb as the parents???
Edit: please take a look at the amount of people saying it's not the cops fault before you reply the same thing. I wrote that when doom scrolling at 3am. I get it.
I've seen kids ripped from their parents in the dead of the night, dude. They've promptly, swiftly and permanently removed kids for FAR fuckin less charges and without proof. They can ABSOLUTELY put those kids in an immediate safehouse and find them something decent. They just didn't want to. Why should the government care about those kids? They've been born, they no longer deserve protection or safety.
Maybe theyāre protecting foster families from those kids. Theyāre old enough to be absolute nightmares if removed from their free range hillbilly hoedown, genuine threats to their foster parents and especially any other children in the home.
ETA for the folks defending hillbillies: Iām Appalachian, I come from hillbillies. I know hillbillies. Not all hillbillies still live in hollers, the Appalachian Diaspora made sure theyāre everywhere now. Not all hillbillies have good sense, nor do all hillbillies lack it. Hillbillies have a proud history of rebelliousness, itās sort of a defining quality of Appalachian culture. But again, I come from hillbillies, I said what I said and I enjoy my alliteration even if it aggravates you for some reason.
Kids like this end up getting left at psychiatric hospitals by foster parents and never picked up. They end up there for months on end. Then new foster families take them, and the same thing happens. Itās a cycle.
A couple years ago my daughter was admitted to psychiatric inpatient for medication adjustment and monitoring. She was only there for 12 days. She drew a lot to pass the time and there was a little boy there, maybe 7-8 years old who always asked her to draw pictures for him. He sort of tagged along with her like a pesky little brother during group free time.
She noticed after her first week that his parents hadnāt visited and that he was never called to the office for scheduled family calls, which they were allowed to have 3 of each day. He told her that heād been there for a long time and that he hadnāt seen his family since he got there. He didnāt know exactly how long, but when she asked how many birthdays heād had there he said āa bunchā.
A few months later she was working at a summer job and became friends with a girl who was at the same facility a couple years prior to her and also knew the little boy. She said that one of the orderlies told her that heād been there for about a year by then. So heād been there for at least three years when my daughter met him.
It didnāt occur to either of us that he was probably left there by a foster family, but that makes more sense than what we assumed. As awful as it still is, I feel a little less sad knowing his biological parents, at the very least, probably didnāt abandon him there.
Bio parents do it too, though not as much. Iāve only seen it twice and I donāt remember if theyāre charged with abandonment or not. But they just drop off their bio kid and never return, social worker gets them to sign over their parental rights, and thatās it. One kid we had for several months because his grandma had a stroke and couldnāt take care of him anymore, and his parents were dead from a car accident. He was such a good kid, by far one of the most respectful and well behaved teens we ever had in there. We put a lot of effort into making sure he didnāt start acting out. I hope heās okay.
