"Over the past decade, only tiny Wyoming and West Virginia may have removed children at a higher rate than Arizona. "
"Buried under huge caseloads, many workers defaulted to removing a child if they had the slightest doubt."

Nu, tas tā kā parasti. Viss kā pie cilvēkiem. Bet kur te ir sistēma?
"Two weeks before Devani's second birthday, she was taken away from her parents in Tucson by a state child-welfare caseworker.
"The little curly-haired girl seemed to be well-fed and cared for, but the caseworker cited drugs in the home and alleged domestic violence in deciding that Devani would be safer, at least temporarily, in foster care.
"Instead, over the next four years — as her mother fought to get her back — Devani suffered an odyssey of mistreatment in a succession of foster homes."
"She was physically abused. She was placed with David Frodsham, a man subsequently convicted of child molestation, who investigators suspect repeatedly sexually assaulted her and other foster children while he ran a pedophilia ring."

"In December 2016, Frodsham was sentenced to 17 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of child sexual abuse and pornography. John Doe was identified as one of the victims in the federal case."
“David Frodsham utilized the State of Arizona and the foster care system to funnel innocent, vulnerable children into his home, so he could run a pedophile ring,” the claim said.
"The neglect and abuse was documented by DCS, but still continued, the claim said.
"“The foster and other children ... were forced to eat hot sauce as punishment, handcuffed to the bed all night, locked outside the home and locked in closets,” the claim said. “John Doe and the other boys were beaten with fists, brooms, belts and other objects to the extent that medical care was frequently required.”
In an internal DCS document obtained by the Star, one caseworker noted in March 2007 that the Frodshams admitted to handcuffing John Doe one night, after he had gotten out of his room.
“The Frodshams did not hide the fact that they used the handcuffs and notified the agency immediately,” the progress report said, adding that the only “corrective action” to be taken against the Frodshams would be a review of policies and a “stern warning that this is inappropriate behavior and against policy.”

"[...] on the evening of last Dec. 29, for reasons that aren’t clear, Devani’s adoptive mother put — and kept — the girl in a bath so scalding that it gave the 5-year-old third-degree burns over 80 percent of her body and clotted the blood in her veins, according to police reports."
"Investigators noted scratch marks on the woman's forearms, and other signs that she might have held Devani down, possibly using a towel to avoid burning her own hands."

Sistēma tāda: CPS/DCS darbinieki piesedz to kas audžu ģimenēs darās. Kamēr no bioloģiskās ģimenes var izņemt par aizdomām, uz sūdzības pamata, vai vispār bez pamatojuma - kad bērns ir audžuģimenē, tad sistēma savējos "sargā". (Bet gan jau arī bija kāds(i) DCS darbinieks pedofīlu maizē, lai visus ziņojumus nolaistu uz bremzēm.) - 2 rakstair doma
