      Yeah when people talk about kids lying to social workers to try to avoid getting taken away from their parents they talk about it as though this were an irrational act, Stockholm syndrome And devotion to parents may be part of it But it also *actually is a rational choice*https://twitter.com/UpFromTheCracks/status/1385358461387554820 …

      Khadijah *Receipt Custodian* @UpFromTheCracks
      I’m not denying that sometimes kids are unsafe in their home, that sometimes parents can’t parent but 9/10 people don’t understand that child welfare is a system that produces death, jail and sexual assault.

      Even in an ideal system, one that worked the way it's supposed to on paper, getting taken away by CPS would be inherently harmful -- child psychologists are unanimously agreed that family disruption is a severe "adverse childhood event"

      Even if you live in an abusive home, getting taken away into the unknown is a *fundamentally* shitty thing to have happen to you that causes you damage Losing your old environment and starting over fucking sucks at any age but especially for a kid

      And that's leaving aside that the foster system *doesn't* function as advertised most of the time and the situations kids get put into *really fucking suck*

      As much as there are decent people in the system trying to keep it from happening -- foster kids get beaten up, foster kids get sexually assaulted, foster kids get killed It happens all the time

      There are no good, easy answers to the problem of child abuse and bad parents The state wants foster care to be vetted, monitored and guaranteed "good parents" as a backup safety net for all the bad parents out there but that's a fucking tall order and they fail constantly

          From my perspective, the best & easiest answer is to knock down the myth of the nuclear family as the fundamental unit of society, and really start to understand that the extended family and the community should have an obligation (and commensurate authority) to help raise kids.

          I jest but after spending time studying data on parentally perpetrated homicides, the best solution I can come up with is that every kid should just be raised by robots until like age five.

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          We need to figure out how to help families. Sometimes the greater harm is keeping the kids in the home, but often, the family needs help. Resources- therapy, money, education. Whatever combination makes sense for them. But even that isn’t perfect.
