The Sunken Costs of Human Tax Collectors

It seems that Australia, still, just does not get it.  But that may just be a good thing.


The entire concept of child welfare has to be revisited, but there are those at the helm of the child abuse propaganda machines who will fight to the death, wielding their imperialistic morality parade banner of sunken costs with such overly optimistic enthusiasm for the the bias of the probability that, with an increase in funding, everything is going to be chipper.


Being a front line worker in human trafficking is a hard job.  Workers are seeing that poverty should not be cause for a person to be forced to pay their entitlement debt to government by giving up their children.  


The investment in social welfare has degenerated over the centuries from a concept of investing in society to produce a future, productive, tax paying citizen, to sinking money into human trafficking to collect humans, children, as governmental debt for parents being on welfare.


Repairing the child welfare system would take almost a sadistic coercion on the part of those leading the imperialistic morality parade, to realize that, what they do in the name of God, is human trafficking, the same institutional principals that maintained slavery and stole a generation.


It seems they just did not listen to Kevin Rudd.


Pumping more money into a current child welfare system that has continuously proven itself to be systemically dysfunctional from day one is not the solution.  


You just cannot pay people enough to snatch kids for being poor any more!


So let's sit back with the rest of the world and watch Australia's child welfare system implode.




PHASE ONE:

FIGURES showing more than half of the south-west's child protection workers who quit last year had been in the job less than 12 months have exposed problems in the troubled sector.
The crisis gripping the state's child protection services is most evident on the frontline, with almost a quarter of the region's total workforce who help the most at-risk children leaving their jobs last year.
The Barwon South-West region, which extends from Geelong through to the South Australian border, had the highest turnover of new staff in regional Victoria, with 53 per cent of workers who left in 2009 staying for less than a year.


The Department of Human Services figures for Barwon South West also show that 32 per cent of staff left within six months of starting their job.


The figures were seized by the Opposition's community services spokeswoman Mary Wooldridge, who said they revealed systematic failures in the child protection system.


"As a result, thousands of neglected and abused children have not been allocated a case worker and instead of being protected may have actually been placed in further harm's way because of the Brumby Government's incompetence."


Community Services Minister Lisa Neville has defended its management of the sector, pointing to figures that show 84 more staff working in the child protection program at the end of June compared to the same time last year.
