So many people in PA don't even know about Cash 4 Kids. It's bizarre.

And the state believes a good disciplinary procedure for CYS is to put on hiring freezes... Which only has the effect of higher caseloads and gaps in the system turning into Grand Canyons in the system for kids to fall through.

It's easy to have low child abuse numbers when you have counties like Luzerne just deleting records. Also helps if agencies call allegations unfounded even if the adult has admitted to the accusation because the agency doesn't get involved in cases where the child is 14 and up. I worked with the child population and have pictures of human bite marks in places a child could never do to themselves, boot prints from being kicked, and way beyond that have all come back unfounded. PA doesn't have less child abuse; we have worse child protective services agencies.

Reply to Can we increase the speed limits? Like 55 on a highway is too slow. It should be 80. And 25 on a major road is like way too slow. We need speed limits increased by 25 everywhere at least. by [deleted]
80 as the speed limit is berzerk. Columbia County's portion of Rte 80 is 70 now and that's working well, but 80mph would be bonkers with the number of tractor trailers around.
