There may be no organization on earth I hate more than CPS (Child Protective Services). There are few organizations in America (other than possibly government schools or Planned Parenthood) whose works are so contrary to their purported mission or whose followers are more deluded. Well, CPS is at it again.
They have decided to investigate the family of Will and Jada Smith entirely on the basis of a single photo that a family friend posted to Instagram. The photo depicts 20-year-old actor, Moises Arias, sitting upright in bed with his shirt off while Willow Smith, Will Smith’s 13-year-old daughter, lies down on the same bed. She is fully clothed, and there is nothing explicitly sexual about the photograph.
But of course, everyone came out swinging to talk about how inappropriate it was—statutory rape, half-naked man in bed with innocent girl, etc. That’s just how our culture works. And, honestly, I wouldn’t allow either of my daughters to lie down in the same bed with a man, especially without his shirt on. I don’t even allow them to hang out with men unsupervised at all. But I’m obviously a different kind of parent than Will or Jada Smith.
Is that wrong? No. They don’t need to be the same kind of parent I am. We have different values. Different lifestyles. Different occupations. Different worldviews and parenting strategies. But does that mean they’re not fit parents, or that CPS needs to investigate them? No. CPS really doesn’t need to be involved. At all. It’s a publicity stunt and a continued ploy for money and attention. And it does no real good. CPS regularly ignores cases where there is real need to pursue safe and spurious investigations that keep them well funded.
I’m sure Willow Smith is probably better off with her parents than most young people in Hollywood, but she will still have a lot to endure, the least of which I’m sure is an imprudent social media post. Perhaps CPS should have investigated the families of Miley Cyrus or Britney Spears… Or CPS could just quit bothering people altogether.
If Will and Jada Smith are aware of the nature of Willow’s relationship to Moises (it’s not like he did anything to hide it), and they permit it, that’s really their business isn’t it? Whether or not we agree with their parenting strategy, they should be allowed to exercise freedom in it until they actually break the written law of the land. Breaking the unspoken law of CPS is, or rather should be, immaterial.
Would have been nice if the photo was posted.
I would have put things more in context, yes.
CPS should think about investigating young girls at planned parenthood for abortions – ??
Absolutely! Those butcher shops arefar greater risk to young women and girls, than even the illegal places back in the day, that allegedly were the EXCUSE for Roe v Wade! Children going to such abysmal and dangerous places without their parents’ knowledge even, much less written consent is worse than a joke! Infections, hemorrhages and other SERIOUS complications and even deaths are FAR more common than people suspect! And in many states those are NOT required to meet the same minimum standards as all other medical care facilities!
Somebody needs to investigate the CPS!!
I saw the picture and it is not bad, besides there were like 3 or 4 other people in the room with them. He is one of their good friends. He is not even touching her. OMG, people please!
I think they should investigate how often Willow is in the White House…
So Child Punishment Services is at it again. They are the biggest child abusers on the planet, taking kids from their families and psychologically ruining them by destroying their sense of security. And most of the time is on a whim to justify their existence.
How about CPS investigating 12 year old girls at planned parenthood getting abortions?
I doubt that this is just because of the picture. They are well known for their lack of discipline with their children, even allowing one to declare their independence at age 15 (Jaden). I’ve thought they needed to be investigated for a long time. Glad it’s finally happening.
What a waste of time for the CPS, while many other kids who are in need for help fall through the cracks.
Are you aware that those kids were brought up in The Church of Scientology?
The Hollywood Smiths contribute to the support and justification for these people to pry their ‘authority’ into our lives. Congrats Will and Jada. Yes – even for people as Special as You – elections have consequences.
Enough all ready! What do we have here, another Hitler regime? Mr. Smith must not be following the administrations protocols maybe?
The Smiths are separated & they are Scientologists. One concern has to do with Will allowing his son (Jaden) to become an actor.
The latest ego trip for father and son was, “After Earth.” It was panned by the critics and moviegoers. Jaden started acting at an early age. First, the kid has no talent for acting. Second, the Smiths are rich enough to steer their child in a different direction. Third, Scientology is a CULT. It’s an abusive “religion” and the best thing for those kids is to get the hell out of there.
Know and understand, having been a foster parent. I always wondered why social services investigated some of these families while others were ignored. We turned over evidence of sexual abuse by parents while the kid was on a visit, but they ignored it. We wern’t allowed to adopt black kids because we were white and the social workers and their supervisors were bigots. We saw a case of the murder of a good social worker by her supervisor when the SW likely confronted her super for taking money from the kids legal funds. THe super over the super said the 2 had no common cases when asked on TV. I often wondered who was worse – the social workers or the parents.
CPS has time for this when they can’t track the kids in their own care. Whenever one of their wards dies at the hands of someone they should have been monitoring, they claim that they are overworked…but they have time to nitpick something as innocuous as this. I can only wonder if the Smith’s did or said something that was unappreciated by the powers that be.
Jada and Will Smith to be investigated by CPS ???
What about Miley Cyrus and her clearly suggestive of incest phtoshoot with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus? How come there was no CPS investigation of that event?
Don’t commit the same error I did and attempt to exchange the Forex advertise that is a losing business beyond any doubt. Go to the site Traders Superstore, that is the place I went now I’m exchanging the fates market which is such a great amount of superior to the Forex. Exchanging the fates I’ve not had a losing week yet and I’m improving and better at it.
CPS is a bunch of idiots. I have very little patience with the idiots that work for them. There are some decent ones but they are far and few between.
Also, it is a liberal thing. If they see a man and a woman talking in the grocery store o on the sidewalk, they are having wild sexual encounters. We live in a filthy minded society.
From what I know, I think Will and Jada Smith are about to discover liberalism at work. By Hollyweird standards, by all appearances, they aren’t so bad But they are liberals and support a “liberal-intrusive/government-knows all” Demon-cratic administration. Let them experience a bit of the misery we all endure and maybe, just maybe, they’ll open their eyes to the “liberal machine” and her horrible un-American agenda. Let’s see how Will and Jada respond to this………
