S2, Ep. 14- CPS Stories:The Realities of Child Welfare System


In this episode of our podcast, we sit down with B. Drake, a seasoned professional in the field of child welfare with years of experience. We team up to really get into the nitty-gritty of the child welfare system, swapping heartfelt stories about kids finding their way through state custody and foster homes.

We dive deep into the challenging realities of the child welfare system, shining a light on the serious issues it faces. We're not shying away from talking about the troubling presence of corruption, often linked to financial motives. It's like pulling back the curtain on how some foster parents, instead of putting kids first, treat it as a business opportunity.

Our chat also delves into the heartbreaking issue of abuse within the system, giving a voice to the tough experiences many children go through. We also tackle the immense stress and pressure on case workers, unfairly taking the blame for the system's shortcomings.

As we chat, we get real about how being a caseworker can deeply impact personal relationships and physical health. This episode isn't just scratching the surface; it's a raw, honest talk about the challenges, injustices, and complexities woven into the fabric of the child welfare system.

Come join us as we unveil the harsh truths, share stories that deserve attention, and have a genuine conversation about the multifaceted issues within child welfare—issues that urgently need acknowledgment and change.
