Would love to know if these assholes are known to DCYF.

Would not be surprised if this is another systemic failure.

IIRC someone on a FB page said dcyf had been notified multiple times by neighbors and teachers of the children at school.

It took the state and the police 19 days to go to that home, after dozens of complaints... NH needs to do better!

Go read the dcyf thread.

It took that long cause they don't have enough people to take the cases.

Social workers are waaaay overworked, underpaid, disrespected, and impossible to replace as nobody wants a job that destroys them mentally, physically, and emotionally for shit pay and zero respect.

I said exactly the same thing in another sub. Why does everyone revel in crapping on the people who are doing one of the worst jobs imaginable? It's almost like the government wants the organization to fail and makes it impossible for them to be effective.

The other important thing a lot of people don't understand/don't want to accept is that the research right now points to keeping children with their families. Taking kids away from their families is not only more expensive, but the outcomes tend to be worse for them in foster care/group homes. DCYF is charged, therefore, with trying to keep children with their parents and provide help/guidance to the family.

Now maybe the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction and more kids will be pulled from parents in the future, but there it is...

Remember prior to 2016-2018 or so when they used to publish that in the initial story before the AG’s office and DHHS changed its internal policy and refused to release info about that part so they wouldn’t look as incompetent as they are instead of actually improving their services?

The kids are probably foster. She owns the home, clearly neither of them go to work, with mugs like that
