Compare the kind of worker the Florida Department of Children and Families fires to the kind it keeps
I’m just catching up with a story from late last year, reported
by The Palm Beach Post, that
perfectly sums up the dangerous, defensive and arrogant mindset of many child
welfare agencies in general and the Florida Department of Children and Families
in particular.
Tiffany Sicard left her children, ages six and three, in a
car to rush into a CVS pharmacy and pick up a prescription for the younger
child. It was 85 degrees outside, but
the car windows were partially open, the doors were unlocked and police said
the children “did not appear to be in distress.”
That part about “police said” is due to the fact that when Sicard
got back to the car, about fifteen minutes after leaving it, the police already
were on the scene. They arrested Sicard and charged her with two counts of
child neglect.
