The woman is a total POS, but here is also another sterling example of Child Protective Services in action.

“A Mesa woman arrested on suspicion of turning her 13-year-old daughter onto cocaine and prostitution had recently won back custody of the girl from Child Protective Services after the beleaguered agency briefly placed the girl in a shelter but failed to discover her addiction or her criminal activity.”

I can’t take this shit. Why do I even read the paper anymore…

Don’t move to Florida then. CPS is so screwed up that don’t even notice a kid is missing for over a year. And thats just one of hundreds of similiar cases here in Florida.
