Social Services facilitate child sacrifice.🤔

(Also this new kid who I forgot the name of I guess is going to be the ‘new Mikey’, only this kid is visibly more sympathetic and less greedy. My only guess is that someone who works at Dhar Mann saw my posts on him, thought of what I said for less than five minutes, and said “Hey, how about make this new kid character, who’s more sympathetic in voice tone only, but gets the equal amount of punishment Mikey does?” Because they didn’t read the second half my my post where I explained that the punishments needed to be toned down. But just a theory. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.)

This is the second (and third) instance of the legal kidnap of a black child this week. I wish I saved the other video. The mother hadn’t even left the hospital yet and they took her child away due to “neglect.” How can that stand in court? There were no drugs in the baby’s system or anything else wrong. She had given birth two days before. How could she have neglected him? There was actually a violent struggle as police pried the baby away from her and he easily could have been hurt but the video cut off. I am assuming that this happens a lot more than I had previously realized. I really feel like the natural progression of children being legally stolen from their families is going to result in women being afraid to give birth in hospitals and bring their children in for treatment. Like this was just basic treatment that babies get all the time. Imagine how scared black mothers must be to bring their children to the hospital if they are *actually* hurt. Women and children are going to end up dying because of this. (Black women are already dying at higher rates than white women in hospital births, but that’s a different branch of the same conversation. If you’re a feminist you probably already know this.) I really wish that BLM would pick this up as one of their causes. The destruction of black families is also a form of violence. This video says that they’ve been trying to get their child back for months, which is an eternity for the parents, but an extremely short amount of time to put a child up for ADOPTION. Soon these parents might lose any chance of getting him back and I don’t see it going differently for the newborn who they abducted from the side of the road. These siblings might never see each other or their parents again. Police violence isn’t the only trauma that affects black families, and police is not the only government entity that is full of corruption. Adoption itself raises ethical concerns. People make a lot of money from it in various ways and ALWAYS relies on a family being ripped apart and starts with the trauma of a child being taken from their mother. And all of this generational trauma can be set off by one social worker’s racism or classism, or it could be set off by a social worker who is in a bad mood because she spilled her coffee in her car on the way to work. I really, really wish that seeing videos like this would make people take to the streets to protest again. The genocide of black people continues because the government can steal their children at any time for any reason, and there is often nothing they will be able to do to get them back. This is unacceptable. And the sad thing is that this system is working exactly as it was designed. Traumatize black children in care and cement the foster care to prison pipeline—a steady influx of forced labor, a resource that will never run out until something drastically changes. I’m fucking furious.
