I am shocked and amazed. The CPS in Texas told me that a mother that chose to not enroll her school aged children in school, decided to live in a tent city in the homeless area in freezing tempratures instead of staying in a warm shelter, was a ok with them. They do not think it is wrong to be poor, totally missing the point that they live in a tent and do not go to school. Child neglect prone people can get around that by pitching a tent and not protecting their children against the elements. How in the world is this not neglect. If you are stationary, have an unruly teen pron to getting their way via CPS, you are investigated and have a record of this. The real neglectful ones stay below the radar by not enrolling their children in school and have the backing of the CPS that being poor is not an issue. No one said being poor was an issue, children in a tent in 30 degree weather is.What jacked up ### runs the CPS?
@cindyswing Clearly you would not be here if you were in the wrong. Stick to your guns, prove them wrong, and actually take them up on the offer to take your kids. They won't because they can't! They have to prove abuse. They love going after parents that actually love their kids, they will not go for a child that the parents don't give one ###, their is no reward in that. Don't let them scare you, laugh them down, believe me... I went through that and they gained no traction but fear in me. Now my kids are successful adults, and when I tell them the ### that The CPS says about tent city kids, they laugh and so do I. They are a joke, do not fear them. Take them up on their threats, tell them you are just fine with them taking your kids THROUGH a court of law. They will scamper away, tails tucked.
