It has come to my attention that many child protection agencies across the country are making major decisions about families and have only a four year degree which does not have to be in social work, psychology or child development or be state certified. Many supervisors and even directors of these said agencies are not state certified and can hold degrees in other unrelated disciplines and yet can make life or death decisions about our nation's abused children and their families. Lawmakers should ensure that state agencies employ and ensure their personnel who work with such sensitive issues are qualified by more than attending a four year program in some subject to take children from their parents or provide intervention.

Social Security is for the citizen of We the People!! Social security was never meant for government to get their hands on to spend as they will.... Social security money belongs to We the People, not the elected officials who are suppoese to represent our interests!!
