when we talk about back row Americans this woman is the sort of person who should perhaps come to mind for you. her IQ has been tested and it was in the low 90s. she is not out of the ordinary

she should not have gotten pregnant. she is not married. she does not have consistent employment. there are multiple potential fathers. she nevertheless deliberately got pregnant because she was envious of another woman who had a baby

all right. so what is to be done considering this fait accompli well, one might suggest that her extended family pitch in to help her. or perhaps social organisations or government.

unfortunately her dysfunctional extended family is working against her. one of her relatives is envious of *her* having a baby and decided that the appropriate response is to fabricate CPS reports to attempt to have the baby put in foster care

this is a credible threat as much of her extended family has a history of making such reports against people who piss them off the risk of such entanglements also discourage her more functional network from engaging with her

the ability of the dysfunctional extended family to interfere in this counterproductive manner, as you can see here, is being enabled entirely by government programs that are supposed to be helpful

there's really not any good solution here. the sort of thick society that would have used somewhat coercive pressures to discourage her from getting pregnant doesnt exist anymore. government programs are worse than useless

more competent people who could plausibly help her structure her life are fairly systematically discouraged from doing so could i help? maybe on the margins. is it worth the risk of multiple lawsuits and fights against fabricated CPS reports putting my daughter at risk? uhhhhh

Replying to @eigenrobot
I'd urge you to keep a long distance between your family and CPS. They by-pass all sorts of restraints on the usual gov't powers.
