About the cruelty of the world... this is a long, sad story, if you don't feel like being depressed, then don't read it...
My mom knows this family because they had a premature baby in her unit. This family isn't very wealthy or educated, but the love for their baby is incredible and they are great parents. The baby is still very sick. They took it home, but at one year, she only ways 14 pounds. She is still on oxygen because she needs help breathing because her lungs aren't fully developed.
Well, this baby is in and out of the hospital and she has several specialists who take care of her. She also occassionally turns blue because she stops breathing, and the parents have to call 911. The specialists and a social worker called a meeting with the parents and told them that they think the parents are only taking her to the hospital and calling 911 because they like all of the attention. So, CPS is taking the baby away from them and putting her in casa de los ninos. This is a day care place where the baby is exposed to all these kids with different sicknesses that aren't a big deal for them, but are fatal to such a fragile baby. Even the common cold is this baby's worst nightmare. She won't recieve the constant attention that she needs, and this is probably one of the worst places for her.
And the worst part... the only reason the CPS is taking away the baby is because they can. Because this family doesn't have the means to fight against it. Because they're an easy target. Because they can.
I was eating dinner and I couldn't even chew anymore. It made me so mad. I feel so naive because I though the CPS and social workers were there to protect the family, but here they are practically killing this baby, because I doubt it will survive there. They are taking the only child away from this couple.
