I’m betting it’s a ‘hungry kids yearn for the mines earlier’ sort of thing

State doesn’t pay for kids lunch. If parent can’t afford lunch, state takes child and places them in a foster home. State pays foster home to take kid.
Tell me what the goal of this system is so I can call someone else a conspiracy theorist for a change.

Original goal was probably to send kids to Epstein. Idk what current situation is, probably another hidden island that politicans visit.

May I introduce the Victorian concept of Children in Workhouses.
That’s where you’re heading.

This is EXACTLY what they want. They sell the cute ones (check the protective services website, they have them listed for placement like a weird dating service or pet adoption site). They will prison to pipeline the rest while working them in “skill camps”.

CPS is a dystopian hell. I advocated for a child for a while, they would fuck up absolutely basic things, would not find out about things like hospitalization or legal trouble for weeks. When I brought up several months of basically no mental health care, they insinuated that I might be abusing the child.
They won’t take action on actual abuse. It’s Kafkaesque.

To justify their budget, they must find “clients” to put in their system. Getting clients means finding just the right parent(s) that they can bully, intimidate, and exaggerate charges against. Child services no longer operates in good faith. They won’t even allow you to record their conversations because they are so apt to lie. The foster system is just as bad. Putting people on payroll to take care of kids that no one knows the location of. 23,160 foster kids were reported missing or unaccounted for in 2024. These were just the ones REPORTED. Where is the politician rage over this?
