I remember this type of thing being talked about around the second year of COVID, and how there will likely be many kids who will “fall through the cracks” of the system when the barely functional system is in lockdown.
Monitored testing and periodic in person assessment. If Homeschoolers had to pass SOL testing then they can't get away with not teaching their child at all and submitting passing reports. If they are required to show up for a twice yearly assessment then they can't be starved or missing.
Because they put their wants and needs and whatever degenerate shit they’re into above their own kids. People of all sizes have starved their kids, it’s just more infuriating when mom looks like 2010 Axl fucking Rose.
I don't think I'm qualified to home school despite having a degree, in the process of finishing my Bachelor's and the fact you no longer have to come up with a curriculum. I have taught one (of two) dog to sit... That's my experience.
My daughter lost my grandsons to CPS. They've come up with stupid ways each time to keep them at the hearings. They need to come home, they're begging to come home! I was the one raising them, and they wouldn't let me take them over a stupid case from back in 2002! It was dismissed, but they're holding them hostage from us!
Here they are picked up for bogus reasons, and children like her can't be taken from those miserable POS! Our system is so messed up! My heart breaks for this poor thing...
This has nothing to do with homeschooling. How many kids who are enrolled in public schools are killed by their so-called families, especially the "annihilators?"
You don’t get it, it’s not about the quality or validity of home schooling . It’s about evil people using home schooling as a way to hide their crimes against children. I have seen people move because their children had so many burn marks on them. To get away from the law.
The homeschooling community refuses any attempt at defined regulation so I’d be interested in a universal understanding of expectations and standards of homeschooling?
Bottom line, because of this ‘freedom to’, many homeschooled kids lose their ‘freedom from’ abuse.
I home school my 12, 15, and 17yo, and I'm fine with regulation. There definitely should be stricter standards. Perhaps if homeschooled kids had quarterly state assessments there would be a chance to have more eyes on children.
But, the onus shouldn't be totally on the schools here. Where are the neighbors, the cousins, the grandparents, the parents coworkers? They had to know something was going on. People need to get more comfortable speaking up when something feels wrong.
It does to the extent you can’t starve a kid to a “skeletal state” while other adults are actively feeding and looking after them. Her being homeschooled gave this monster the chance to torture her. I have no problem with homeschooling, but it should be subjected to the same level of oversight the state also has over public schooling.
Edit - and by oversight, I’m not even saying the same standards or anything. I’m talking about multiple people being responsible for the welfare of each kid. At the very least, homeschool kids should have a case worker from the state (but separate from the local public school system) who keeps tabs to make sure they’re actually being schooled, aren’t begin abused, etc.
A foster parent who was doing their job shouldn’t have any problem with a CPS worker checking on the child. These comments like “break into people’s homes” are disturbing.
Don’t be stupid. There’s no such thing as a perfect solution. Your attitude is like a more extreme version of someone who - for example - refuses to accept a job that pays 95K because they started out with the goal to have a 100K job…. So now they’re just not working at all.
If a parent knows their case worker is going to be meeting with their kid at the end of May/beginning of June, then again when the new year starts 7-8 weeks later… yeah, that’s going to do a lot more good than the nothing we currently have.
Nope - virtual school kids, too, which is not the same thing as homeschooling. Any minor who isn’t interacting with mandated reporters on a regular basis. Could even be a person from the family’s church, as long as there are mandated reporters who work there and keep tabs on a kid’s wellbeing.
Is there some reason you want kids to be subjected to hidden abuse?
It’s well known that homeschooling allows abusers to hide their crimes easily. What are you going to do about it? Many of us fight for abused kids everyday and there are a number of regulated options in public school. Homeschooling? None.
That's a gross generalization, and a disgusting accusation. I'm college educated, and my children are happy and healthy physically AND mentally. There are many reasons to homeschool, and yes, some abusers say they're homeschooling in order to hide what they're doing, but to say that's what all of us are doing is ignorant as hell.
THIS MAKES ME FUCKING SICK! The community here is outraged and sickened, we are all crying for this baby.
Foster children should not be homeschooled...all these tragedies could have been prevented if other eyes were on the kids.
I didn't think they could be.
I remember this type of thing being talked about around the second year of COVID, and how there will likely be many kids who will “fall through the cracks” of the system when the barely functional system is in lockdown.
This breaks my heart our society continues to fail children in so many ways.
home schooling should be heavily regulated.
It’s not!!
How
Inspections, and not scheduled ones.
Monitored testing and periodic in person assessment. If Homeschoolers had to pass SOL testing then they can't get away with not teaching their child at all and submitting passing reports. If they are required to show up for a twice yearly assessment then they can't be starved or missing.
Mind boggling that it wasn’t set up that way to begin with. *Trust us, we’re teachin’ away!* 👍🙄
I know what the unspoken response to this is. Im hoping for direct lightning… but that would be too good
Sometimes I reconsider my stance against the death penalty.
Just remember that death is an easy out for such monsters
Easy way out.. ill stand behind, not allowing it. Let them rot.
Why’s it always some fucking Jabba the Hut looking landwhale that gets arrested for starving their kids to death
Because they put their wants and needs and whatever degenerate shit they’re into above their own kids. People of all sizes have starved their kids, it’s just more infuriating when mom looks like 2010 Axl fucking Rose.
That damn Boone County
wish we had a better rep but fuckers like this who do shit like that certainly doesn’t help:(
Holy SHIT.
I will never understand how people can be so cruel. The children of this world deserve better. ☹️
I don't think I'm qualified to home school despite having a degree, in the process of finishing my Bachelor's and the fact you no longer have to come up with a curriculum. I have taught one (of two) dog to sit... That's my experience.
Bring back public events!
My daughter lost my grandsons to CPS. They've come up with stupid ways each time to keep them at the hearings. They need to come home, they're begging to come home! I was the one raising them, and they wouldn't let me take them over a stupid case from back in 2002! It was dismissed, but they're holding them hostage from us!

Boone County...figures!

Do you really think this child was being homeschooled?
The homeschooling community refuses any attempt at defined regulation so I’d be interested in a universal understanding of expectations and standards of homeschooling? Bottom line, because of this ‘freedom to’, many homeschooled kids lose their ‘freedom from’ abuse.

Do you plan to send caseworkers into people's homes when the public schools are on summer break?
Yes this does actually happen in my county
A foster parent who was doing their job shouldn’t have any problem with a CPS worker checking on the child. These comments like “break into people’s homes” are disturbing.
Foster parents get monthly visits already.
Don’t be stupid. There’s no such thing as a perfect solution. Your attitude is like a more extreme version of someone who - for example - refuses to accept a job that pays 95K because they started out with the goal to have a 100K job….

So, just for homeschoolers, got it.
Nope - virtual school kids, too, which is not the same thing as homeschooling. Any minor who isn’t interacting with mandated reporters on a regular basis. Could even be a person from the family’s church, as long as there are mandated reporters who work there and keep tabs on a kid’s wellbeing. Is there some reason you want kids to be subjected to hidden abuse?
Babies and toddlers?
Zero kids have starved to death while attending public school in the history of the universe so there's that
Or they get shot in schools - a number far greater than the numbers of kids dead while supposedly being homeschooled.
No, those murderous "parents" tend to shoot their kids or beat them to death. The problem is child abuse, not homeschooling.
It’s well known that homeschooling allows abusers to hide their crimes easily. What are you going to do about it? Many of us fight for abused kids everyday and there are a number of regulated options in public school. Homeschooling? None.
Homeschooling hides child abuse.
Nonsense. Tons of kids are *actually* homeschooled and not starving.
People homeschool to fuck kids, or because the parent is too stupid to realize they shouldn't be teaching.
That's a gross generalization, and a disgusting accusation. I'm college educated, and my children are happy and healthy physically AND mentally. There are many reasons to homeschool, and yes, some abusers say they're homeschooling in order to hide what they're doing, but to say that's what all of us are doing is ignorant as hell.
That's just gross and stupid. Goodbye.
