You can't fix the system. You will never eliminate the things it is meant to eliminate, you will only empower bureaucrats to exercise power over others.

Things can be done, but relying on an agency of the state/government will never solve the problem.

I just want to go on a crusade complete with armour, swords and a large horse.
But that’s not practical, so what else can I do when politicians are dense and indifferent and all the groups who have all the power spent more time on trivial issues that cannot be nearly as important as the wellbeing of millions of children!

No kidding, Sue. This is OUTRAGEOUS!

Noise, Sandra? Did you say noise? Is there any other way, my friend?

you’re singing my song, Sandra! argh! don’t get me started!

I would hazard a guess that in developing countries, a caring neighbor serves as a better safety net for most children than all the social workers combined do for the US kiddos.

That is exactly what you've been saying, Chromesthesia!

Fact is, that controversial happenings are almost daily, but the public isn't paying enough attention.

Let's make some noise, shall we?

That’s what I’m saying. A lot more effort needs to be put into fixing the system in the US and in other developed countries, but how many politicians make that a priorty when it’s not election season and when something contraversal has not happened?
