UPDATE: Storm Troopers From CPS

Recently I Posted an item on the San Francisco "Child Protective Services" (CPS) assault on a family and their dogs.

Although not bothering to publish my politically incorrect letter, or for that matter any other letter questioning the fundamental systemic problems with California's CPS, the SF Chronicle, August 15, 2006, had a followup news article on the current family situation. Briefly, Andrew is back home, and his mom is diligently working on finding a forever home for Cricket, the three-year-old dog who has lived with Andrew since Cricket was a pup. Kudos to mom, in this day and age so many people just murder their family pet when the government scares them. Perhaps young Andrew will learn the value of loyalty from his family, and be able to overcome the lessons of abandonment and disposability that the government seeks to teach.

The Judge gave lip service to Andrew's bond with the dog, but chose to further traumatize Andrew by making the family give up their friend and companion. Thanks Judge (Commissioner) William Gargano, with friends like you, why don't we make it official, child abuse is public policy? Or is that one of those kicks that is permitted only by government officials who hide behind their immunity and taxpayer-paid hoards of attorneys ready to leap to their defense?

The Chronicle, not one to rock the boat, threw in this gem of a line: "[Andrew] Louie will be required to continue with therapy 'to deal with parenting issues,' she said.", apparently referring to a comment made by Andrew's mom. Perhaps mom has been brainwashed, or perhaps mom is just cowtowing to the Storm Troopers and their Judge/Commissioner. But really, Chronicle, why not point out the fact and the reality that Andrew is going to need quite a bit of counseling because he has been traumatized and screwed over so royally by the government?
