Clouds in the Sunshine State

I Have Always Been Under The Impression That Children Were Only Removed From Their Families When In Severe And Life Threatening Abusive Situations. Never Did I Think For A Moment That The Very People Who The Public Put Their Trust In Are Actually Guilty Of Gross Negligence And Outrageous Behavior Far Worse Than Some Of The Reasons Why Children May Be Removed From Their Families. To Top It All Off There Are No Penalties For Dcf Workers Who Remove Children Without Cause. My Child Was Kept From Me For Absolutely No Reason Totally Without Justification Nor My Knowledge And Tossed In A System For Almost 3 Years By The Department Of Children And Families (Dcf) That Failed To Abide By Their Own Statutes Internal Procedures Policies Rules And Regulations. During This Travesty Of Justice My Child Suffered Lifelong Visible Scars And Irreparable Damage. I Was Totally Oblivious To What Could And Would Take Place In My Childs Life As Well As My Families And My Life. Upon Feeling Compelled To Write This Book I Am In Hope That My Story Will Enlighten Other Parents That Maybe By No Fault Of Their Own Are Faced With A Similar Situationi Am In Hope That My Story Will Somehow Inspire Changes To Be Made In A Now Very Broken System A System That Seems To Be Totally Out Of Control.
