Child Protective Services

     The post Will our Child Protective Services get better? by my colleague Selena Herrera is well-explained, and stated her strong point of view. She starts off with general information and tied it down to how money should be used for children in need. As we all have known that Legislature is willing to fund more money for CPS to help abused and neglected children to receive adequate cares. However, this money is also used for hiring more staffs due to the shortage of staffs. Selena expressed her opinion that this funding can only be used for children care only, and not for increasing staff salaries or hiring more staffs. Her thesis is strong and well developed with her supporting; some readers may be convinced with her thought. However, I am not quite strong to agree with her on this issue; I understand that children cares are more important, but the staffs’ families are also important to them. Their families would expect them to go to work and earn money, but it turns out to be an unexpected income. How can children approach their needs with the shortage of staffs? I believe that this funding is just the start to reform the program. It starts to hire more staffs and train them to work as best as they can, and start to approach children in needs. All of this funding will focus not only for hiring staffs but also for caring facilities. So this is still a promising start to help abused children and children in need.

     In sum, this post is an interesting commentary expressing local issue that we may need to know. Overall, this still a good post with my colleague opinion and supporting on the issue.
