Texas turned CPS into horror show and that wasn't an accident. They've been putting foster children in unlicensed facilities for years, including facilities out of state, on the other side of the US.
There are about 9,000 children in long-term custody of the state, and an average of 80 children per month were staying in unlicensed and unsafe housing last year. This includes poorly supervised motels rife with sex trafficking, leaving already vulnerable children exposed to abuse. In the past three years, there have been 2,100 serious incidents involving these children without placement, including death, abuse and neglect.

Nope this is totally better than abortion guys, come on! Abortion is literally killing a child! What kind of monster would do that, when we could [checks notes] abandon the child in an abusive, underfunded system and slowly watch it die instead?
And this is why Project 2025 also says that all babies have the right to be raised by their biological parents-- they also want to get rid of adoption and the foster system! Isn't that lovely?
Forced parentage? Amazing! Truly nothing is better than a child being raised by their real parents, even if love/basic needs met arenât in the equation! Itâs Gods Willâ˘!
This is exactly why they want to stop abortion- more kids to molest - abuse - enslave - indoctrinate. Look at how many Republicunts are found to be pedohiles - they are absolutely salivating at the opportunity to get their hands on as many children as possible.
Canât wait to see what happens when they become adults out in the world. The crime rates are going to skyrocket in the next 12-18 - just watch. âCcHrIsTiAn fAmILy VaLueSâ my ass - fuck these people forever.
It's not stupid, it's awful. And it's awful because it's true.
Look. They're sabotaging the care system at the same time that they're putting way more lives into their hands. What sort of behavior motivates that? Anti-social behavior. Psychopathic behavior.
If you honestly believe that any significant amount of Republicans want to stop abortion because they want to molest kids then you have spent far too much time on the Internet.
They just want more babies. Once babies get older, they start to lose their appeal and start having opinions and preferences and flaws. They start acting like people instead of voiceless props. So the only solution to this is to toss aside these flawed, uncooperative people and bring in more babies.
They're situationally voiceless when an adult can talk over the baby about what they want and what their opinion is. For example, "Kids don't want free lunches because they'll feel too ashamed to accept them."
So Texas govt officials are straight up sex and human trafficking kids legally. No wonder the republicans in Texas are always so concerned about what sex a child is. They want to know who theyâll traffick out to their rich buddies. Epstein was small time compared to them
Give it a rest. The comment was facetious and you know it. The pos Texas republicans are responsible for whatâs happening to those kids. They might as well be doing it themselves.
And do not act like the republicans donât constantly bring up kids genitals bc thatâs all they do, along w trying to lower the age a little girl can be forced to marry an adult man, now that theyâre forcing raped ones to give birth. You see how it all connects Cletus
Oh, and, in 2023, Texas also passed some measures to make it easier for parents whose children were removed by CPS to get those children back. They tucked that in with 'foster kids will be provided with a duffle bag for their belongings instead of garbage bags when changing homes.'
I remember when they started giving us duffle bags! The construction size trash bags were too expensive to keep giving out and we were expected to keep up with that duffle bag until we left care. I aged out in 2019.
Texas Tribune has covered it extensively. There's a twelve year old lawsuit about unsafe conditions in Texas foster care. The judge started cracking down this year... and Texas is trying to remove some of the judge's ability to impose punishment.
Paxton should honestly be in jail for corruption. When I heard the dude got 100 hours of community service... man... there is no justice in this world.
And you know all those politicians who are behind this crap are absolutely thrilled at everything weâre reading here. We read it and feel concern, empathy, sorrow. The Reich wing assholes read about all these dire outcomes and are filled with glee at causing all this misery.
Texas Health & Safety Code prohibits abortions outright, except in certain circumstances. Section 170A. 002 prohibits a person from performing, inducing, or attempting an abortion. There is an exception for situations in which the life or health of the pregnant patient is at risk
Because itâs totally legal to get an abortion in Texas within 6-7 weeks after conception. A whole month after most people have figured out they are pregnant.
So you got time to decide if you wanna terminate a pregnancy.
Still valid from what I can see. Though Iâve been on vacation since the 22nd. Unless something happened during that time then thatâs what I know to be the law in Texas.
Thanks lol. For the record even as a conservative I thought the roe v Wade reversal was a bad move. I have little skin in the game. We had a kid, my wife and I. But weâve also taken plan B when we werenât ready.
I do think there is plenty of room for open discussion. Abortions into the 15-20 weeks range becomes a very unsavory practice when you research exactly whatâs happening.
Also I do think the states having the choice to chose is inherently a good move for the federal government because theyâve long over reached in many many avenues, though I wouldnât of picked this particular one to be the flag ship.
In 2022, a Texas CPS worker got fired because a 14 year old girl they had put up in a hotel asked for food and the CPS worker told her to go turn tricks and buy her own food.
Buddy, Michigan has the second most major outages of any states in 20-21 and doesnât share the population or demand of Texas. This just became comical.
Texas is a leading state in green energy production, surpassing many others in the U.S. In 2023, Texas produced over 154,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of renewable energy, primarily from wind and solar sources, making it the largest producer of wind energy in the country and second only to California in solar energy production.
I'm sorry but if you are supposedly a leader of the free world you should plan for unreliable situation's they get enough federal funding to fix any Short comings! I had 2 few seconds outages, didn't even need to call cuz it came right back on, it was so short that the oven clock didn't even say PF that's power failure in case you aren't sure? Today it was 113° yes it was defiantly struggling and that's because I'm on the 3rd floor & the central air isn't cutting it and I'm running a portable AC unit also, oh the few Sec power outage was in 2023 TX sucks
Texas is going to start a running tab on these babies and when they turn 18 they will have to pay it all back. I want to say this is sarcasm, but this is Texas and it might be a prediction.
Waiting 18 years is too generous. Try orphanages where the kids "learn a profession" from the time they're big enough to hold tools. And of course these orphanages are going to cost money to run, so why not combine the "profession training" with lucrative private manufacturing contracts?
"Ok Timmy, you're five now so the free ride is over. Get to stamping those licence plates. Debbie, you are being assigned to textiles. Those uniforms won't stitch themselves."
But not impossible. Prisoners are already been used for cheap labour. Child labour laws are being rolled back in some states. And if people like Vance and Project 2025 get their way there's going to be A LOT of babies being born that are going to end up in the care system.
Some fucker is going to add all that up and get cartoon dollar signs in their eyes.
When I lived at a few different group homes in Texas if we werenât in school we were expected to work full time. Theyâd then take 75% of our paychecks and put it into a forced âsavings accountâ we were supposed to get when we leave the placement. I never saw any of that money and I know I worked 60 hour weeks just to get out of that place.
active shooter drills in schools in the u.s. suggests that, in a way, what youâre saying has been going on for years already, at least since the late 90âs
Yes, literally. Any of these babies could have been surrendered to a hospital or fire station anonymously, and most states have infant adoption waiting lists months or years long.
I think he was speaking sarcastically because none of those "Christians" protesting at Planned Parenthood with the signs saying "We will adopt your baby" want anything to do with babies that are being abandoned to the state.
Some guy even attended those protests with adoption forms for those people to sign and shockingly none of them wanted to fill them out.
It's not "none," though. I'm not pro-life but my brother and his wife are, and they foster and have adopted older children. Many of the people in their church have as well. Many who don't donate time or money to programs that serve underserved children.
Sure, some people at these protest are hypocrites, but quick reddit is to judge millions of people they've never met.
Well, no, but the reason Roe was overturned has little to do with people protesting outside PP and everything to do with the pro-life movement being the most organized and disciplined political movement in the country over the last 50 years.
You're mad at the wrong people if you think the PP protesters took your rights away.
Folks like you say this as if someone discovering the pregnancy and baby arenât dangerous to her already.
You all assume every single pregnant person has people supporting them, or worse, not the ones impregnating them.
Texas created a state of fear surrounding pregnancy and that emboldened a lot of people against pregnant people. Yâall really enjoy forgetting murder is the main cause of death for those that become pregnant.
Couple those situations with Texas bounty laws and the criminal laws and THIS is what you get.
Babies in dumpsters.
Your family was warned. They helped cause this. Fuck them.
They unironically do, but it's not so much safety as just all net.
Poor children who never had a chance at life are a great resource for for-profit prisons, the military, and anyone else who relies on abusing impoverished persons for gain.
