Increasing incentives is not the answer to help our families. It is a known fact that Child Protective Agencies are in it for the money, not for the children. A better incentive would be to help the families in need to keep families together, not award those who take children from parents with little or no proof of abuse.
In order to justify an increase of incentives, there must be a balance in the transparency, accountability, and oversight of the child welfare industry. Child welfare agencies consistently violate material provisions of law and policy on a daily basis and shall now be rewarded for such egregious activities from this legislation. The time has come to measure these Child Welfare Agencies with the rule of law.
Poverty is, once again, codified as a crime under this bill. The time has come to end the reward system for the improper removal of children.
To make the historic story of foster care and adoption short and sweet, allow me to cost-effectively sum up the policy for the Industry of Child Welfare: Poverty is abuse and neglect. Abuse and neglect is a crime. A parent(s) who is poor has abused and neglected the child for failure to provide for the welfare of the child. The state must protect the welfare of the child. People and corporations make tax write-off financial contributions to child welfare agencies. Children get medicated; pharmaceutical companies get profit; social workers get jobs. The longer a child is in foster care; the more jobs are sustained. Sustaining and creating jobs saves money for the states. Foster parenting is a job. The states and child welfare agencies are given financial incentives and receive financial rewards for each child transitioned into adoption. States need to create more jobs. Foster parenting is significantly more economical than providing services to birth parents. Adoptive families receive financial rewards for each child adopted. Child Welfare Agencies receive financial rewards for each child adopted. The states are no longer financially responsible for the child. The states are no longer financially responsible for the birth parent. Everyone contributes to the economy. A stronger economy eradicates poverty. Poverty is a crime. When you stop poverty, you stop abuse and neglect.
The passage of this bill justifies human trafficking as there are no checks and balances are in place.
Increase incentives of oversight.
