“Staff and volunteers worked around the clock to care for the children, with some spending nights huddled in blankets outside to give the families more space and privacy.”

 

When I first read this statement in the Eldorado Investigation report, I brushed it off as a total fabrication, like so many other things we have heard from CPS. Too many mothers gave the same story of having no privacy in the shelters, of the continual presence of CPS workers day and night, wandering among the cots and taking notes on every action and conversation. Especially disturbing to them was the large number of male workers wandering among the mothers and children at night. This seemed especially ironical in light of the fact that all of the boys age 11 and older were transported to another location because CPS claimed that it was improper for them to be in the same room as the ladies of whatever age. 

 

Since that time, I have learned from some of the mothers who were at the shelters that CPS workers really did huddle outside at night; and with this new information, in all fairness to this much-maligned agency, I hasten to set the record straight.

 

Almost every CPS worker at the shelters was a smoker. For mothers and children used to breathing fresh, unpolluted air, the continual cloud of tobacco smoke was highly offensive as well as injurious to their health. At the earnest entreaties of the mothers, CPS workers agreed to move outside for their cigarette breaks.
