When foster care is neither better care nor safer care, children need to be remain in their homes. Focus is on children in the foster care system, who move into the Texas Department Criminal Justice Custody for "crimes" committed while in Texas Department of Children & Family Services (CPS), and represented by court appointed attorneys.

Juvenile Court Judge John Phillips, who ordered the boys removed from the Del Bosques’ La Porte home last year after remarking in court that the 50-something grandparents were too old to raise them, recused himself from the case.
But he didn’t go quietly (Falkenburg, 2009).
News Report
Phillips began to be slammed for removing two very happy and well cared for children from their grandparents, stating the 50+ grandparents were too old, and this was unfair to the children who would need their parents long after they are adults.
CPS gave positive reports for 12 months, but when Phillips set out to have these childen adopted by strangers, odd reports of drug abuse, and other hearsay information began to be culminated.
If we don't have a case, then let's just make it up as we go along.
Carole Strayhorn, ex Comptroller, stated a child is five times more likely to be seriously injured or killed in foster care.
Rep. Hupp stated a child is four times more likely to be seriously injured or killed in state foster care than in the general population.
The agency designed to protect children has a higher percentage of serious child injuries and death, than the parents in the general public!
House A - A child may be at risk of harm.
House B - A child is FOUR to FIVE times more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Which house should the child live in? A ? B ?
The state of Texas believes it is better to take a child from Home A and place them in Home B.
I am not a math whiz, but this is insanity at its best.
Let's keep doing the same things over and over, expecting different results!~
