Ever try to help people all the time? Even if it wears you out?

I been doing that, trying to help Adrianna. This child didnt deserve to be punished and murdered in Mexico because DHS was stupid.

Everytime I try to get help, people just talk about the mother. She was a drug addict, how her relapsing after DHS stole her child was a cop out, how she gave up her rights.

Those of us who are advocates for children and family realize that DHS will lie to you, harrass and threaten to you to sign over your rights. She was under duress. She was clean 2.5 years before the child was removed from her care. Taken because she had no medical insurance and didnt know how to get them. Instead of getting the medical this state pays for, she was removed instead. This was unfair, cruel and heartless.

Now, everyone focuses on the mother's past drug addiction, and on the fact she gave up rights. That doesnt mean she should have no rights to the remains of this child. Termination of rights or not, she trusted DHS would do what was right, they didnt.

But no one talks about the child's right.

What if it was their child, sent to mexico, after warnings that the family there were abusive. AFter hearing the grandmother nearly escaped them with her life in 1996. Then the child is brutally beaten and left to suffer for 3 days. DHS did not do a safetly check, they were warned abuse was happening, Mexico news paper criticize DHS for being so negligant. She is buried in a city cemetary. She is alone, even if she is just what is left of her body. No one will come visit her grave. No one will be able to.

Is this fair to Adrianna?

Why do so many think that its ok....

I dont understand how humans have become so cold, and heartless.

I dont get it.
