Uuugh. There is absolutely no benefit to those things besides demarking the boundaries of dangerous neighborhoods so that you know Google sent you a way you ought not go and you need to turn around. I don't even understand how they make money by being anything other than a front for low-level money laundering.
@eva_chaos @VikingChieftain Well eva you explain exactly how we imagine it is in the countryside in the United States. Rednecks etc.
Tbh, you might not be able to tell if you looked at it from Google Street view and didn't pay attention to all the dollar stores and payday loan places. It's different from failing urban areas in that people try incredibly hard to maintain what they have, at least outwardly. You don't see it until you are in people's homes and then you realize the kids have never eaten a nutritious meal in their lives and there hasn't been running water in months.
@eva_chaos @VikingChieftain Ive got family I Us so I know white out to look at (f......) Google . And it always sad when this shit involves children. You need more socialisme.
It always involves kids, and that makes the cycle so much harder to break. Once a family loses its knowledge of how to successfully raise children, there's no getting that back without intensive intervention that sometimes violates human rights.
@eva_chaos @VikingChieftain I know it all too well, my grandson was taken away from us at the age of 3 because his parents were assholes, my wife and I were not allowed to look after and raise him because the municipality thought they knew better. So yes there are the children who always have to pay the price
I am really, really sorry that happened. That is horrifying. I almost ended up that way, but Louisiana never had the money to pull a kid out of a home unless they were starving to death. I got raised by my neighborhood, but I knew kids who did end up in the system. That is some of the worst shit out there.
@eva_chaos @VikingChieftain Thanks , Yes typically it is always bad to end up in the system, and in our case the municipality has violated the law on several points, but we are powerless against them, we can not just drag someone to court And certainly not when it is not our child, but it also says in our law that the family network should have the task if they are interested.
It's the same rules here, but our family courts have little oversight and are pretty much free to do what they want as long as the ruling "is in the best interests of the child". I suspect it's the same everywhere. It requires a lot of money to fight that when few people have it.
@eva_chaos @VikingChieftain Ok but here it is the municipality that decides 100% and yes you can take it to court but it rarely helps because the municipal caseworker is ALWAYS right.
Yeah, it's the same then. I suspect with the same broken long-term results. It's shit any way you slice it.
@eva_chaos @VikingChieftain Yes, we are fighting for a constitutional court like the German one, it would help in cases similar to ours and many others.
I hope that gets done.
