When you read about students behaving in this manner it makes one question the perintal discipline given at home. Do parents correct their children when they are growing up? Do they teach that there should be respect for authority, or has DHR became so powerful that they are ruining our children? I'm not saying that anyone, under any circumstance should do bodily harm or emotional injury to children, but they should be taught to respect adults. They need to be corrected at home with out parents fearing that their children will be taken from them. DHR has so many parents concerned about what is acceptable punishments. When one thing with a child doesn't work you have to try alternatives. What are the rules for DHR taking your kids? How far can it be taken? Will they come in your home and remove them if the child says that they are punished to severly? Who decides what is to sever of a punishment? Why does DHR always know what's best for your child you have raised from birth? Children don't come from a "cookie cutter" pattern. Who can tell more about your own child than you? When will DHR have to pay for some of the mistakes they make in a childs life? They can remove children from their homes and place them with family's that they really know nothing about personally. This just creates a job for the workers, attorneys, and judges in the over crowded courts.

DHR is absolutely necessary for the children who are truly abused. But these people try to play the all seeing, all knowing and they are not as wise as they claim to be. They DO make mistakes, but you very seldon hear of those instances unless it results in death or hospitalization. What are the reprocutions to those workers? Are they ever jailed or carried to court for their negelect of doing a thorough job and causing the child more pain than the origional family it was taken from? Do they ever loose their jobs, or are they allowed to say well their were no clues there was anything wrong in the foster homes they placed the kids in? Should they have to carry insurance to cover kids, who are abused because of their mistakes and misjudgements in placing them in homes that are truly unsafe and unsatisfactory, and need to be in theripy for years to come because of their choices for those kids?

So, if they don't pay for this who does? They recieve a check for damaging kids, unknowingly (but that doesn't change the fact) then the tax payers get to pick up the bill for the hospitals and theriopy.

Does anyone reading this think I have a point or have hit on a subject that is sensitive and avoided by most? LET'S HEAR IT!!

in addition to arresting the kids, they ought to arrest the parents as well.
