Some things can be avoided she more than likely had one if those workers who think less if people who received assistance….and they are plentiful….its sad that this isnt the first time something of this nature has happened and social services have gotton worst for instance I lost my job and couldnt get the verification from my employer and I was cut off and the worker told me it wad my problem…..they want be satisfied til it happens to their families and with the closings of some of the dfacs it will be soon…..reality check to all of them

i feel like no one hear her cry…..maybe if you (social service) would take time an see what going on an why she moved from state to state……then she might would have been alive today…not making excuses but she could have been running from a really bad situation..now im not saying what she did was right but if social service would use less paper work and help more familes……we might not see this again….sometime when your back is aganist the wall an there is no doors open for you we do things that we might regret an cant go back an change….my heart go out for the kids as a kid that lost her mother to suicide its not going to be easy….

As a former Food Stamp/Med worker and a CURRENT Children Protective Services worker, I agree with Carla. There are steps and procedures that have to be followed. This poor woman never followed up so there was def other issues going on. And for CPS to “take” her children, there would have had to been a report prior to this one with CPS. Although it saddens me to read what happened to this family, people have to stop blaming FS/Med/CPS when something goes wrong in someone’s life. I wonder if she had friends or family or someone who was aware of her life situations. And yes, I too, sleep very well each and every night. Instead of pointing the finger, get up and go out to see trouble families that you know are out there before CPS gets involved. We gotta start being a village again and stop waiting on the government to do it.

As a worker myself, we have rules and regulations that MUST be followed in order to continue to get the funding to help families in need. Most workers try and help their clients get the paperwork they need to get approved but we can’t do everything!! My prayers are with this family. I totally agree that Child Protective Services should have intervened with this family, but money is tight in every state which limits the services we can offer. And oh yeah…I sleep very good every night because I try and do everything within my power to help my clients.

That’s every state these people could still be alive..Why have these government office when every time you go for help they turn you away about paperwork you have a mother with kids wanting help to feed her family and the only thing they think about is the paperwork being completed. How do they sleep at nite.
