    Stop paying the counties $86,000. Per child incentive and those kids being taken will drasticly reduce. We don’t need more foster homes, we need less children in the system. And inform tax payers that their money is being spent on these cps workers to learn manipulation, rather than to learn helping or correcting. Chautauqua county has the highest rates on children in homes w/o a legal cause.. A ” preponderance ” of evidence… ANYONE, can suggest that someone is on drugs and will loose their kids if reported to cps until proven not guilty.. These are facts.. Meanwhile our so called lawyers are being bought by this same system.. These are real facts. People need to be informed!
