When I’m reading one of these, I never know if it’s the nonsensical rant of a stubborn asshole, or someone who genuinely needs psychiatric help. In other words, I don’t know whether it’s okay to laugh or not.

I never post the mentally ill ones. You are safe to laugh.

It's a little mean because usually they are losing their home or their children to CPS, and while the reasons are always good, they're obviously pretty desperate. They are the shittiest parents and they all "home school" their children which means making them parent each other or propping them up in front of conspiracy theory videos on Rumble. I'm attaching an example.

Ah right, that's understandably a bit troublesome... Then I trust your judgement when it comes to vetting the posts. I'm not going to join facebook to get the first hand experience.

Every person on social media whose kids are in foster care will never admit to doing anything wrong. It's always false allegations according to them. Then they will post all the court and social work documents and it's such a different story. It's honestly horribly fascinating how consistent it is, they always insist CPS trafficks children for money from the government as they make money off each adoption, and that it is an attack on Christian family. It's literally EVERY person involved in CPS on Facebook. I've never seen one person admit to anything. It's sort of horrifying really.

Ok, i have first hand experience in this. My child has severe autism, liver issues, and epilepsy. He had a seizure at school, because the pharmacy was out of stock of his medication and we ran out. They got stock back in but never notified us. So someone, I'm assuming the school but don't have any proof, issued a medical neglect notice to cps. They came to the apartment, interviewed us(everything was nice they were very cordial) and investigated the claim.

When everything came back verified and we showed the multiple doctors he regularly visits (I had to request extra time off work just to handle his appointments, never mind vacation) they dismissed the case. Yes he had a seizure(it's not uncommon for him) and yes I understand it's important he's taken care of. But there are some cases where it's truly not medical neglect just our poor health system at fault.

Sure, but you didn't go ranting about on facebook. That's what the OP meant, not that there are genuine investigations resulting in nothing.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

True, come to think of it this was the first time I mentioned it on social at all

[–] rooroo@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

Even so, this doesn’t qualify as a rant in my books. You seem way too reasonable.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Was it divalproex? That was bad when they had that shortage.

I'm sorry you went through that, but I bet you sure weren't yelling on Facebook how the government had stolen your kids.

I'm glad your kid is better and that got cleared up.

Kid probably had the cavities before going to foster care and they were just the first ones to take them to the dentist. Fortunately, those teeth will get replaced in a few years. Best time to get cavities is before your adult teeth come in, if you absolutely have to have them.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That's exactly what happened. Thankfully they ended up adopted.

Are we sure everyone must:

  • have a license to fish, but also
  • have the unencumbered right to have as many kids as they like?

The screenshot parent is running a human puppy mill.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But... how do you know? Did they passed mental evaluation?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can see the difference between the ones arrogantly not having licenses or paying taxes versus the ones whose kids are in CPS care or losing their homes.

I'm attaching an example.

IMO they're probably one and the same. The idea indoctrinates those seeking answers to their problems in their hours of need. Then they celebrate their new found illusion, before reality hits them like a brick wall.

We should take issue with the idea not the people.
