They DO NOT care about the mental and physical abuse of children! They will throw out reports that "don't meet criteria" when they never reviewed or invistigate those claims.

They destroyed my family... they destroyed the lives of my children and instead of helping they dug the hole deeper. No words can describe how horrible and two faced their methods are. They will lie to your face and claim they didn't know. I use the term "they" because it's never one person, they do their horrible decisions in what they call "teams", how much of this will people have to go through for someone to do something about the corrupt and injust system.

Questions & Answers

Why do we allow illegal abductions to happen to innocent children in order for dumbasses to receive a paycheck? Former Knox Dcs worker here.

The dumbies think that they are disabled too; the children deserve money from them though!

I read recently that "due to the opioid epidemic" in Tennessee there are currently 8000 children in foster care and only 4000 foster families. 8000!! Does that sound as insane to you as it does to me? I don't doubt there is serious drug problem in our community but I believe there is another reason this agency is stealing, kidnapping, or whatever you want to call it. Follow the money. There's a great deal of money to be made in the business of "protecting children. Foster parents receive a pretty decent pay check for each child that they qet. Add that to clothing allowance, free insurance, and other benefits and you'll find that there is money to be made by state sanctioned kidnapping.

I am a maternal grandmother seeking custody of my grandson who is in custody of non-family members. The young man wants to be in my custody. How hard can that be to do¿

You need to go to the juvennile court and file a petition for custody. Its a process but as long as you have you ducks in a row it should go pretty well. The system usually wants children with family if its in their best interest.

A child that is a drug baby is it critical to watch what kind of medication you give that child.

Charles Franklin | Nov 2, 2021

Yes. Doctors should give caretakers a list of what medications to give the child. Generally the hospitals do a really good job with keeping caretakers informed. If you're unsure of what you can and cannot give the baby ask your provider before administering any medication.

I'm looking for Lisa hatcher?
