you know i feel like i am in a nightmare,so i don’t bother trying to sleep anymore,because i want to know why this man picked my daughter. I am asking him to sit down,and explain it. You know those cracks Paul Mac Kinnon is talking about that children might fall thru,well that would be my two grandhildren. I would like to ask you Comm. did you come up with this plan all by you’re self chances are no. All new plans need a scapegoat to have in the backround,so if it doesn’t work,and this will feel terribly, it will be you that will be blamed. When the citizens of Mass. want someone to blame,its you. You will be asked to resign or fired. I am interested in how you came to be this hard on young people who are trying to raise there family’s. All the money thats being pumped into foster care,could go to these family’s some i know that called on themselves,thinking they would get help,and all they got were wo workers at there door,taking there children. Please Comm. McClain meet with a few of us,and talk to the people of the commonwealth, I see you meet with you’re investigaters,to make it easier on them,but their not saying exactly how. I don’t get why you’re saying all of a sudden,there is an ergency to remoe children, it almost sounds the more i read it, a very paranoid man is saying its now hurry up ,im not backing down,you sound like you’re going to war,in some ways you are. All i can say is God Bless you,and forgive you,for undoing his work. Maybe you can make him understand. I know when i meet my maker,i have nothing to be ashamed of. I will be helping any family i can. I’m sickened that you are still in you’re positon,but 2700 employees,have no trust in you.

This is exactly why we should have a “no reasonable doubt” law passed like 47 of our other states have. Rep. Dennis Rosa of Leominster (D) has been trying to pass this bill for two years. Check his bills out,if you ask me,he should be appointed Comm. This state can you remove you’re children with cause for reasonable doubt,do you know how many cases are opened up,that shouldn;t be with that in place. They remove children everday,without even a visit first, ,just a fifteen minute phone call. I don’t want to here they have to many cases ,then stand up and say it,don’t remove children to shorten you’re case load. Shame on you.

listen to this poor woman, a perfect example. She is a product of DSS, obviously in their custody for what ever reason,and i tell you to being on here making a comment after it sounded like DCF,DSS has been in her life since what seven. I applaud this woman. Imagine they steal her childhood away,and then they steal her children away from her,i womder how many stories there are like this. Well if McClain is saying if you’re a runaway stop,exactly how do you stop being a runaway. Most of our runaways are made up of mostly aged out foster children,that have been sexually malested or physically malested by there foster parents. I am fifty years old,my mother was an alcoholic,she had a stroke when i was 10 ,she never had a drink afterwards. So you see you never no what is going to happen,i grew up with the most loving mother,everyone loved her, and she treated most of my friends like her own. if DCF were around then,i would have been removed when she was drinking,and missed out on having the best mother anyone could have. Help the family unit, GOD placed us in our mothers womb. I know their are mothers that haxe to many problems,but no one loves you like their mother. And i thank God they were not here when i was a child. To marutunsi,i am so sorry for what they did to you’re family and children, and i hope who ever is responsible for this is arrested and punished like any child abducter,only these ones are payed by our state,or maybe it goes further then that. I am starting a non-profit agency to hellp woman like this woman,and all the familys that are not strong enough to speak up themselves, God Bless You for bringing this further into the light,maybe its in time to help my grandchildren,but i won’t stop,until their home safe in there beds. love to all

“Your article indicated that caseloads were high “about 20 children” per worker. The reality is “about 20 families” per worker, that is, about 20 to 30 children and 20 to 30 adults per worker. DCF Supervisor”

Um….let’s be reach 30-40 kids and 30+ adults!
