This distressing article from Israel illustrates yet another situation in which a social worker has defiled a child in his care. Sadly, a child taken from his parents by social services is often at the complete mercy of the social worker, who is normally a complete stranger. It is shameful when those who are given power to take children from parents for alleged abuse are abusers themselves.

New Jersey social services has taken five children from an Army Major and his wife. The children were taken after one of the children had to receive emergency care for a medical condition. Social services claimed that this might have been a result of physical abuse, but after evidence was presented disproving the allegations, the children still were not returned home.
To keep the children in foster care, social services now accuses the parents of abusing their children by exercising corporal punishment, depriving them of television and video games, and “harming their social development” by homeschooling. A “therapist” hired by social services has called the parents “excessive Christians.”

A debate over giving psychotropic drugs to foster children erupted last year after a 7-year-old boy who was heavily medicated while in foster care took his own life. Since that time, the state of Florida has taken a closer look at the use of psychotropic medication in state foster care. In response to one suggestion that foster children should not be used for testing potentially dangerous psychotropic drugs, Jill Hartzler, an associate Food and Drug Administration commissioner, argued that Florida should not bar foster children from being used for psychotropic drug testing because the benefits can outweigh the risks. Who associate commissioner Hartzler thinks ultimately benefits in this benefit/risk balancing analysis is unclear. However, the benefit cannot be intended for the foster children who may be used like guinea pigs or their parents who are helpless to prevent total strangers from subjecting their children to potentially dangerous drug testing.

When a single mother turned to Michigan social services for help, a series of events were set in motion that would eventually lead to the death of her son. Social services allegedly coerced the mother into placing her son in foster care. However, when her son began to deteriorate, she complained that her son was not getting enough food and she wanted to bring the boy home. Social services then turned on her, terminating her right to visit her son in foster care. While the mother was doing everything she could to get her son back, she received a phone call notifying her that her son was dead. Although the foster care facility had received around $12,000 each month to care for the little boy, he had starved to death.
