The History of Child Protective Services Suggests that Protecting Children Has Always Been an Interest of Americans
Studying the History of Child Protective Services Shows You Where the Agency Should be Now.
The history of child protective services dates back to the 1600’s when the English were working to protect their children.
The idea of protecting children may have come over with the settlers, but the agency today does not represent what the original agencies sought to accomplish.
If you look at the landscape of the average family you will see that there is a vast difference between the families.
There are many different families that have no business having children in their homes because of the atmosphere that they create.
Children every day are living in conditions that most people would not even want to subject animals to and in fact would amount to animal cruelty charges of they did.
There are parents out there that were not ready to have children and others that never should have children no matter what.
These are the people that the CPS has been designed to protect children from as they need a better situation in which to grow up.
The unfortunate thing is that there are too many children that are being removed from good homes and put into the CPS system.
Getting “lost in the system” as the agents call it is all too common for the children that come from good homes with loving parents.
The emphasis is not placed enough on making sure that the children that are getting put into the system are in need of being in the system.
Parents are facing agents that have been trained to make it near impossible for them to get their children back.
The agents have been taught to treat all parents like they are the worst examples of parents that ever walked into their offices.
The reason why the agents are taught to act this way is because of the system’s funding is based more on numbers than on actually helping children.
By changing the emphasis of the system to get back to what it was originally started for, there can be a greater interest in helping the children again.
Basically the system needs to look back at the history of child protective services to reorganize it’s model.

In the history of child protective services, there has never been a time worse than now when the children were interrogated as to how their home life is.
The agents are taught to question in a suggestive way by which they tell the children what hey want to hear.
They are trained to do this with the explanation that children are scared to get their parents in trouble and need to be helped in order to speak the truth.
The reality is that the people that are scaring them are the ones doing the interrogating and they will tell them exactly what they want to hear.
Be Fair
By putting the weight on the child to give a confession to the agents, they are forced to leave their homes and be dropped into a system where they don’t know anyone and they are scared.
The history of child protective services is not one of scaring children, but of helping them.
By rewarding agents that have a high success rate in not removing children from good homes they will be encouraged to do more up front investigations.
In doing this the system will be able to work the way it was intended and help out families.
