CYS is a shitshow in PA. I'm a mandated reporter and have had multiple reports and dealings with them.

“Christian Brewster, 25, and Nicole Stauffer, 45, were charged Thursday after their 2-year-old child died”

I assume they're toothless in that the law is not on your side, even though the worker probably wants it to be.

I really hope they do charge the social workers involved. It's happened pretty recently in Philly. https://patch.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/3rd-degree-murder-charge-social-worker-philly-childs-death

I read that and raised an eyebrow also. Twenty year age difference, only with the woman as the older one.

Yes. Then I searched her name and found another story with her pic, pretty good for 45. Now what else was I suppose to take away, the fent overdose? Sad,but the government has allowed this crisis to fester, causing untold misery,depravity,and homelessness. The child shouldn't have died, the government should have started a mass forced suboxone regiment for free, and the cys agent should have done something sooner.It's sad, but the entire crisis is sad.

What exactly would a mass forced suboxone treatment be? That sounds kinda insane to force meds on people. I’m all for offering free addiction medication I mean we spend way more on our tax dollars on the effects of addiction than if we just gave free medication but forcing people into treatment doesn’t sound great

I don't know, but I mean we got people injecting animal tranq mixed with fent into their veins. We gotta do something, forcing suboxone or methadone wouldn't be the worse thing.

I was once contacted as a pediatric health care provider about a patient who was being followed by CYS in Philly. I told them that they should worry less about that kid and worry more about his younger sibling who hadn’t had any immunizations since they were 2 months old and had never gone to school, even though they were 8 years old. CYS didn’t even know the sibling existed (which I thought was really strange because I saw them both as patients and the parents brought them in together).

MAT is great, very effective (Methadone and Suboxone aren’t the only ones even, so people should be able to find a med that works for them). The thing is people forget about the T in MAT.

Because it is a county by county system. It should be a state wide office.

Yes, jackass, it would be.

Blame those who make it illegal and criminal. People have and will do drugs forever. The only path forward is to quit criminalizing it.

According to the news report
"Authorities also learned there had been numerous allegations of suspected child abuse and neglect against both Brewster and Stauffer before, and that Stauffer reported using heroin during her pregnancies.
The 2-year-old had been born with neonatal abstinence syndrome and opioid withdrawal symptoms, but the child's parents had failed to take him to multiple follow-up medical appointments."
Somebody in the social service and court system failed this child miserably. Investigate and charge the civil servants responsible.
