Why we need more police (and caseworkers as well)

Many people associate the children's rights community with the police, and lump them into one. Quite a few make that mistake on the anti-CR side of things, meaning we must be an extension of the police or something to them. Most here are not vigilantes or police, but members of the psychological and counseling professions. I myself do support the police, but only to the degree that they support the law and the Constitution. We need police, and we need more of them, if these anti-CR bangers don't want cops cutting corners in their news feed.

We need more police if we are to have better protections for children, and have more laws to enforce. Most child abuse cases here in Berks County, Pennsylvania go ignored until the concerned adult reporting the case makes several calls, and sometimes, by that point, a child has perished and died due to languishing in an abusive home. Why do so many child abuse reports get ignored? There isn't enough police and caseworkers to enforce the law, so the authorities have to prioritize. 

God commands me to support the law as it stands, as long as it doesn't conflict with God's Law, as well as the men and women who put their lives on the line to enforce it, as long as they follow the law in enforcing it. It says in Romans 13:1-4 KJV:

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. But there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever resisteth the power, resisteth the power of God, and receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same. For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword for no reason.

This verse means God appointed the higher powers. That includes parent investigators for the police, as well as CPS. "The powers that be are ordained of God" means every higher authority is ordained by God. Thus, since CPS and the child abuse investigators that investigate parents are ordained by God, their every lawful order, including not to spank or strike a child, is spake from God. The Greek root word translated "submit" is υποτασσο (Latin: hupotasso) and refers to reverent fear leading to submission, which is in this case adversarial in that it calls for submission to an enemy, as the government then was the enemy to Christians. Christians today are a minority in every country, yet are influential in the United States in a unique way.

Many police practices go against Divine Law, including search party interrogations and showcasing of children in a way that the child finds abusive. So we defund them? Then the authorities will simply be more corrupt and ineffectual. It is called cutting corners, and cash strapped law enforcement agencies usually are the ones that cut corners. 

What is the answer? MORE funding to the child protection authorities. The problem isn't that we have these policing authorities, but that a) there is no money for them to do their job and b) child abuse definitions are so narrow that the authorities can't get to the child until something bad happens, such as a death or disabling injury. The laws aren't going to improve overnight, but why not fund the child protection authorities? Funding leads to more manpower, and more manpower leads to more enforcement of statutes prohibiting child abuse, making expansions of definitions necessary.

Government agencies are broke, across the board, and that is because our tax system is complex compared to most countries. In most countries, they take a consistent percentage and it is taken directly out of your pay stub, and they don't a tax code a mile long. This makes raising taxes in the United States to fund child protection more of hassle, because certain people could be screwed over by the IRS or state department of revenue. I support what is the case in Florida, which is FairTax, or eliminating the IRS and income taxes altogether, and just having a sales tax. The sales tax may be higher, but the lack of income tax evens it out, making paying taxes convenient.

We support the law and its enforcement agencies here at Opposing Parental Entitlement, meaning if the police had enough money to enforce a spanking ban, they would. The idea is to fund them so that they have the resources to do a better job. It's time that we lock up all these parents who defend entitlement and abuse of their children, punishing their children

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
