Fort Wayne Newspapers

For transparency I work here. People are great to work with. The Journal Gazette focuses on local news and issues, giving a perspective you can't get anywhere else.

Very friendly and helpful

We ran one ad in this paper 7 years ago. Since then we have received dozens of telemarketing calls (after we told them 4 times to stop) wanting us to run another ad. Same with email. They just will not stop.

I am a concerned parent that cares so much about my children and others. Yet the concerns that i have as well as other parent have been ignored by the system. The system cps or child protective services has been around to prevent and protect children from abuse. But what about the parents that have been mentally abused by children. I have watch this system ignore the parents who cry out for help. If you have them locked up the parents are still responsible for there action , because you still pay the fines and cost or you get locked up. Is taking away from them or putting on punishment really solving the issues that we deal with on a daily basis? You try and sit down with them mother to child or father to child solving these issue? The question is have we felled them or has the system felled us. I have set back and watched while we have giving control to minors and left the the parents stressed out. I seen young girls giving there bodies away to older guys. Young youth from the ages of 5 and up smoking marijuana. Disrespecting there parents daily, you say please get up and do your chores and they say its your house you clean it. You give them a curfew and they come home when they are good and ready. You call the police and they say we can take a report but there is not much we can do. They have to be missing 72 hours before we can do anything. These are just examples of some things that parents go through on a daily basis. Do outside counseling work? Do we continue to allow them to be in charge and destroy our society? Do we continue to stand back and watch our young girls become mothers at a early age? Do we continue to watch are children become drug attics? Or do we just continue to build more prisons? Last but not least wait for that knock at the door saying that your child has been found dead. As a loving parent you do everything in your power to keep your kids safe but talking is just not working. Where is pps better known as parent protective services.

Awsome
