The home interventions are all contracted out so there is another financial incentive to keep them in the home. By the end of this insane year, I'll have a firmer grasp of what they do, attempt to do, and don't do.

back BP (before prison) I was on a jury for a week in a capital murder case. guy beat the hellyons out of his 2 year old boy. left him to suffer for 3 days before he died. cps had visited numerous times. they would call and set up appointments to visit which i think is wrong. they should do surprise visits imo. he was supposedly living at his mothers so when said appointment was made he would go to mom's and prep the place to make it look hospitable when in fact he and his g/f were living in a trashed out apartment. i still shudder to this day from remembering the pictures provided by the prosecution. i know and understand cps has a huge caseload especially in the densely populated cities however i think there is a lot of room for improvement.

I might tuck it away, but I do not think I would get rid of it.

right on. that's what i'd like to do with the vid. hell the houston police will never admit that they're wrong. if i can find a lawyer that would take the case they can have the wrongful compensation that innocent prisoners get when proven innocent. i just want my name cleared.

The most dangerous parents to deal with also have long rap sheets and other troubled kids in the district so they can try to make my life miserable but in the end they won't get much love from the system.

not to mention the mental issues that these people have. some of these people just can't help it. IQ's of 80 - 85 or lower. i'm not trying to be funny here but this kinda is, the other day we had a birthday party booked at work. these people couldn't drive a go kart worth a shit! i'm stressing the importance of using the brake pedal when exiting the track and this one lady, when i was seating the next ride, said "they can't help it. their parents are cousins"
and not from the married related side.
