Sacramento CPS Racks Up Seventh Dead Child

By the state agency they depend on?

Nannycrats Back and Fill as children’s bodies pile up in Sacramento County

Under fire for a string of seven recent deaths of children who had been known to Sacramento County Child Protective Services, county officials said they will conduct an independent review of the troubled agency. Children’s advocates have called for a stronger response, specifically a new investigation of the agency by the county grand jury.

The county’s Health and Human Services Department said an oversight committee that reports to the Board of Supervisors will handle the review. Not good enough say child advocates fearing a white wash and more dead children.

Earlier this month a 4-year old child who was the subject of a CPS case opened five weeks before was beaten to death, and authorities have charged the mother’s live-in boyfriend with murder. The case piled on top of six other deaths spawned a firestorm of criticism of CPS.

Meanwhile a legislator has introduced an anti-child spanking law that compared to seven dead children seem like classic hypocrisy or simply stupidity. The child was not spanked to death he was beaten to death while supposedly being protected by those county bureaucrats.

Of course there is no shortage of plan stupidity inside or outside the nannyocracy like the harebrained grandmother who put her month old granddaughter through an airport luggaged xraying machine

  1. The Sacramento area CPS has been the most pathetic group I have seen in a long time. There have been so many cases of wrong-doing. They should be investigated by the state.
