    As much as CPS and social workers are necessary, many of them perpetuate the problems they're supposed to solve. Arguably it's for systemic reasons.

      Yeah, I don’t know a single person who’s been through foster care who doesn’t have horror stories

        I was in foster care for a few months as a 3 year old. It was unpleasant enough that I still have several memories about it. But in hindsight it really wasn't that bad. Mostly just problems associated with having too many kids of too many different ages split between not enough caretakers.

          Yeah, even if everyone is well-meaning and does their best, a lot of trauma tends to come out of it. I’m sorry you have to deal with that
