Foster care and CPS violate children's rights

I'm kind of surprised no one seems to have ever considered this before. I'm not entirely sure what it would violate in other countries, but in the US taking children into foster care, where they are highly likely to be abused and even killed, violates children's rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It could and should also be considered a violation of the statues against cruel and unusual punishment, especially as supposedly foster care and stranger adoption aren't supposed to be a punishment for the children. When is the last time you heard about someone in protective custody (which is what foster case is basically supposed to be) beaten, raped or murdered by the people "protecting" them?

Keeping them from their parents, terminating parental rights and adopting the children to strangers violates their rights to freely choose who they associate with (not to mention steals their identity without their consent). Creating fraudulent birth certificates violates children's rights to equal protection. All of these also violate children's rights to due process and a fair trial. You may think it's perfectly fine to traumatize parents by taking their kids and terminating their parental rights based on flimsy/no evidence (and in many cases evidence proving they've done nothing wrong),but flip that around. Is it ok to traumatize CHILDREN by taking them from their parents, refusing to allow them to see their families, punishing their parents for reporting the abuse the children are suffering in foster "care"? You can't claim to be protecting children when what you're really doing hurting them, deeply and irrevocably. Children are being punished with abuse and loss of their families because of social worker bias, lack of knowledge or just because someone has a grudge against their family and people are fine with it because they're thinking about it the wrong way. "Those parents must have done something wrong." "I'm sure there's more to the story." "If they lost their kids, it's for a reason." How about the kids did nothing wrong and they are the ones being punished? Because that's what is also happening. And most of the time, their parents did nothing wrong, either.

Child welfare systems across the west need massive reform and it starts with one thing. Actually putting kids first. Put kids emotions first, put avoiding as much trauma as possible to kids, first. Provide support so kids don't lose their parents. Approve family first so kids don't lose their heritage. Stop buying the lies from the adoption industry, stop giving money to governments to give children to strangers and ACTUALLY FUCKING PUT PROTECTING KIDS FIRST. Not just their bodies, but their minds and their rights as well.
