For many problems that we encounter in our life, we
try to see if money is an option to fix it. Money is the thing that we rely on
to fix at least half of our problems. But why is it that, in order for the
children in the care of Child Protective Services (CPS) to receive the adequate
care after being abused and after being removed from their families, we see
that money is the only way for them to get what they really need.
Texas is willing to tap into its emergency funding
and pull fifteen million dollars in order to help the Department of Family and
Protective Services fill the gap that they need in order to help these children.
As I am reading this article I keep reading that they are hiring a little over
eight hundred workers and raising the annual salary of the current workers
nearly $12000. Why is it that the money that they are supposed to be using for
these children, they are using to give these workers a raise. Yes, it might be
key for the workers to stay and not quit due to low pay, but what are the
children receiving from this? My question is, why are we not using this money
in order to create more community homes for these kids? Or even to help better
their education?
On my opinion we shouldn’t be using this money in
order to increase the salary of the workers but we should be using that money
in order to better the life of these children, especially for those at the
younger age that might not fully understand what is happening.
