I could swear there was a recent thread about the Boston Herald's investigation into the Massachusetts DCF (or one of the particular cases related to it). I would have posted this to it, but I can't find it. Anyway ...

Orwellian "Child Welfare" in the People's Republic

Scott Lazarowitz (17 February 2014)

In an earlier post (http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/the-cult-of-the-state-and-the-sexualization-of-everything/), I mentioned the ongoing Boston Herald investigation (http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2014/02/dcf_handbook_shocker_criminal_past_doesn_t_disqual ify_foster) of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) guidelines allowing foster children to be placed in the homes of those convicted of “violent offenses, including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, armed burglary and involuntary manslaughter;” and “inducing sex from a minor.”

Only in the People’s Republic of Loonychusetts.

Obviously, there should be no government “Department of Children and Families,” or any government bureaucrat with control over the lives of children in need of a home. That goes without saying.

The ongoing Herald investigations are associated with the 5-year-old (http://topics.masslive.com/tag/jeremiah-oliver/posts.html) Fitchburg boy who has been missing since September and presumed dead. Prior to that, there had been several ignored reports of abuse in the child’s home.

The Herald has documented (http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2014/02/documenting_dcf_troubles_throughout_the_bay_state) several troubling cases throughout the state.

Besides that case, there is the case (http://www.wickedlocal.com/x825438845/Orloff-charged-with-child-pornography) of a teenage girl placed in a foster home in which the foster father was allegedly secretly filming the girl in the bathroom. He has also been charged with posing as a teenage boy online to lure girls into making porn films with him.

And the case (http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2014/01/dcf_deems_alleged_assault_of_boy_11_consensual_sex ) in which an 11-year-old autistic boy alleges that another youth in that foster home sexually assaulted him. The Department of Children and Families dismissed it as “consensual sex.”

Hmmm. An 11-year-old.

“Consensual” sex.

Given everything I have read about these agencies, I am convinced that those DCF flunkies really believe that.

It gets even more bizarre. [...]

Boston Herald columnist Holly Robichaud states (http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/columnists/holly_robichaud/2014/02/robichaud_dcf_political_spin_turning_out_badly) that from 2009 to 2011 over 100 children under DCF’s watch had died. Robichaud also noted that under the Department of Early Education and Care, “During a one-year time span, there were 119 instances of addresses of EEC-licensed child care facilities matching those of level 2 and 3 sex offenders.”

What is it with so many “liberals” (like Gov. Deval Patrick and his derelict administration) who either encourage or defend the needs of sickos and pervs to intrude upon and corrupt a child’s innocence?

And the Left says that conservatives and traditionalists have “sexual hang-ups”!
