Dr Phill needs to be aware!!!!!
Quote From: swampwitchDr. Phil has a lot of trust in CPS,I have none.My child was 7 years old when he was raped by a cousin,who was 18 years old.My son went to the school and told a counselor,she believed him.She called the state police,they believed him.They called the CPS.But CPS talked to the man who raped my son.Then they told us they did not believe it happened because the man said he didn't do it.I could not believe what they were telling me.I said "of course he is going to say he didn't do it,they always say that."But CPS said they usually admit it.IF it happened after they think they are caught.I called my state rep.Thank God he wasen't stupid.To make a long story short,after the investigation,this man had not just raped my child,he had raped two others.He was sent to prison for 10 years,not long enough,but it beat the hell out of NOTHING.Don't have so much trust in CPS,they are just people too.Some are just drawing the pay for as little work as they can.But I do think there are some who really try to make a difference,wish there were more. Like so many others, CPS did not follow through with my situation. When my son was three, he came back from playing with his eight year old cousin and started describing to me some very explicit sexual activities. I was horrified about how this could happen. I called CPS right away. I was very sad for my nephew. I knew that to do this to another child, he had to have been molested himself. I wanted him to get help. CPS investigated and said that they belived the claims made by my son were true. I was expected my Nephew to get help from CPS. Instead they just visited his parents who were in denial and suggested they get him help. They did not even persue who hadmolested him. The parents decided that he did not need help, and to this day he has had none, and he has also done this to other children since then. CPS had good intenions, but they did not have the authority needed to help these children. It is a sad truth, but i want Dr. Phill to see thatproblems in the system do exist, and it does not mean you as the parent are to blame! Please Dr. Phill, consider the other side!
