People tend to automatically associate government and it’s bureaucracies like CPS with a sense of good and that they will do the jobs they are supposed to do effectively and properly. But this is a prime example of the many where they fail the American people, waste our tax dollars, and with the CPS most tragically fail our children. Children are frequently removed from homes where the situation may not be most ideal, such as this case where the parents were smoking pot, but still well meaning parents who are meeting or at least attempting to meet their child’s needs into a home where all the foster parent wants out of the deal is the pay check they receive from the government every month in return for caring for the child. And as a result many times the foster parents see this as a big imposition on them and the work, time, and finances that go into caring for a child even though they’re getting paid to do it and this resentment manifests itself into the parents neglecting, abusing, sometimes even murdering the child under their care. The best alternative in my opinion would be to first of all leave parents and families alone and as long as the child is not being significantly endangered, neglected, or abused leave them with their own family. And exactly how do we define abuse or neglect? I don’t personally condone marijuanna use for anyone especially for parents, but as long as they are providing good care to their children and not abusing them in any way is this really a reason to break up a family and take children away from their parents into the hands of a stranger? And if parents are truly abusive or incapable of caring for their child then at least place the child with next of kin or some other family relative or close friend who is able and willing to care for the child because most of the time there is an evolutionary innate desire to protect and care for a member of ones own family, so while there still may be some degree of imposition on the person in charge of caring for the child it seems to me there would still be less of a chance of abuse or neglect occurring than if a child is placed with a total stranger simply being “paid” to take care of the child. Foster care or group home placement should be an absolute last resort if there really is nobody else in the child’s family or close circle of family friends who is willing and capable to take care of them. Of course the statist would say that by feeling this way that I must hate children or not want what is best for them, but it is very clear to see the current system is broken and many times isn’t working and government does not always know or care what is in the best interest for us as a whole, much less what is best for individual families. And if a government or one of it’s bureaucracies isn’t performing it’s assigned duty properly or efficiently and unnecessarily upsetting and endangering children instead of protecting them then it is also wasting our tax money by doing the opposite of what it is “supposed” to do and we should consider elimination or at least total restructuring.

Oh please don’t get me started on CPS. I have nothing against anyone smoking marijuana but what I do have a problem with is CPS not doing their job on legit complaints. Last year while my kids where being abused by their step father (physical and mental, nothing sexual) CPS would not go investigate, even after I snuck photos of the bruises and showed them they would not go to my ex’s house to check on things. The only reason they went out there because I filled charges against my ex and her husband. And even then CPS didn’t do anything bc there was a pit bull outside the house. Once in court they just got a slap in the wrist, however I later was awarded partial custody bc their lawyer, well let’s say I think he got his license out of a Cracker Jack box and I walked all over him in court. No follow up from CPS either no phone calls no nothing. I hear of stories like this all the time here in Louisiana and all over the US. It really saddens me when kids are abused in any way, hell I almost did something really stupid when I got the phone call about what was happening knowing CPS wouldn’t do anything.

Dammit Archie I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this with you’re children, I just hope the abuse has stopped now. I’m glad you were able to handle things rationally because if it were me if anybody, especially a piece of shit stepdad, I’d stomp his ass into the dirt so fast it wouldn’t even be funny(Damian when you said you’d be proud if somebody killed a man using SDTS tactics, well if this happened to me dammit I’d make you proud
). What I find rediculous is how courts seem to always award custody to the mother even though it’s clearly in the best interest for the children in cases like this for them to be with their father. Reversed gender bias against males if you ask me. And CPS is useless like you said they don’t intervene in cases like yours where children are very clearly being abused and other times jump in and snatch people’s children away when they have no right or legit reason to do so. Take care Archie keep your head up and I know you will do what is best as you can to take care of your kids and be a great father to them despite all of the bad circumstances you guys are going through now. -

After me and my ex divorced I moved to Miami for a job. I came to visit them every two months for 7 years until I was able to move back, the issue last year just sped up the process. When I got the phone call about what was going on I was ready to put the guy in a box, but American Airlines stopped that. There wasn’t any flights that day to New Orleans. Needless to say me and this guy have gotten into it years ago over him disciplining my children, he received a broken jaw in that conversation. Not bad for a 175lb fresh new BJJ blue belt against a 280lb redneck. But any way I controlled myself this time (took every ounce I had) and contacted the police since CPS wasn’t doing anything. Luckily everything is working out now and my son is now training SDTS with me!

I’m very glad to hear that Archie, at least now your son will be able to protect himself if that jerk off or anybody else tries to hurt him again. But in saying that I find it awesome when a little guy kicks some big guy’s ass who deserves it and thinks he can dominate the smaller due to the size/strength differential. The good thing about this SDTS is that anybody can defend themselves against anybody because when typical rules of “fair” fighting are taken out of the equation and you’re allowed to use weapons, strike preemptively, or do strikes that would be considered illegal in boxing or mma then it pretty much neutralizes any advantage your opponent might have over you with all other things considered. The thing to remember(it’s hard for us young guys) is assholes ain’t worth going to jail over if they’re not being a physical threat to your safety at the time. Hell the other day I was in town with my Mom and we were walking down the street and this hoodie dude who was with a couple of buddies said “Hey sexy bitch.” Grrr that pissed me off I turned to look at him and she grabbed my arm and said “Baby don’t it’s not worth it.” and we kept walking and that was the end of it. It’s like one thing if somebody insults or messes with me but when you start screwing with my family(wife, parents, kids, siblings) it takes shit to a whole nother level. Glad things are working out for you man just keep your head up and you’re giving your kids the greatest gift you could give them by showing them how to take care of themselves and protect themselves from harm no matter who the source is. By the way speaking of fatass rednecks you should check this shit out lol, this neo nazi punk flapping his jaws and challenging Damian to a “duel”
! That’ll be the day. -

Here’s the thing – I do what I do full well knowing that someday someone will challenge me.
If you’re going to set up shop you better be ready to defend yourself.
Now regarding this wing nut – he’s one of many.
Why the hell would I spend money on a nobody, fly him in, commit a homicide and then spend my life in jail.
Next question…

Next question…Gotta love the keyboard warriors. He even had the neve to say krav was better than SDTS. I’m not sayin SDTS I the absolute best to end all but for me an man others around here it’s perfect for us. Anyway back to the topic on hand… CPS sucks and keyboard warriors suck.
Oh yea that guy said he was in Louisiana wonder if he knows Glockfu lol.

Apparently he does haha
! “Best defense is to avoid hand to hand combat all together if you can just pull out your .45 and blast them like Yosemite Sam JACK!” Lol amazing how many people have the false sense of security to think self defense is nothing more as having a gun and pulling it out and shooting. Also maybe I’m missing something here but I thought these white supremacist groups hated liberals, yet notice the Freudian slip how he uses the word “LEFT” in all caps! -
I find that the best response to keyboard warriors like him is to first address their “concerns” seriously and than finish with an insult for the sake of everyone else reading the comments section. The reality is that the “concerns” he brings up are legitimate in the sense that other people who are looking at clips of the SDTS but aren’t willing to troll with a comment will have the same questions related to “how do you not control the weapon when everyone else is showing that” and “how can you not have a training partner when everyone else does” and “how would these simple techniques possibly work on someone bigger and stronger, everyone else is showing more complicated techniques to specifically deal with someone bigger and stronger” etc.

You never know until you try it. I used to be in that I need a training partner mentality. Then I just started training honestly and realized you don’t need a partner. This guy private msgd me and I explained just that to him and that the fact that with a partner your pulling your punches an when the time comes you will do the same on someone holding a gun to your head. He has yet to reply.

Wow! You nailed it there, my friend. I have been in martial arts of one form or another since I was 14. I can honestly say I never realized just how bad I was pulling my punches for the “safety” of my partner until I got my BOB dummy. When you can smack the crap out of something without worrying that you’re going to hurt it, you start to develop some real power. And this goes for partners with pads, too. Even though they have some protection, I promise you are still pulling punches and kicks, because, if you weren’t, they’d still be bruised and battered. So, the best advice I can give is to pinch your pennies if need be, buy a BOB and a brick, and go to town!
