Honestly, I am surprised the shortage of child care workers did not happen sooner. With all the rules, regulations, and restrictions of what can and can not be done. The fun that was associated with watching kids is basically gone. Not to mention the lack of corporal punishment causing kids to not respect authority or listen to directions.

Corporal punishment is seen as horrible by many modern parents because they look at it as dirty or abusive. But unless there seems to be a better way, which I am not aware of, that is the method that is tried and true. It has worked for centuries. Kids these days are spoiled rotten, and I have no wonder why the child care system is falling apart. We have taken away its only method of operation by coddling irresponsible parents.

Even OCY (Office of Children and Youth) has fallen apart in holding parents to standards. It is now a corrupt system that only cares about financial gain. A lot of social workers have stopped doing their job of detecting abuse because they are paid more for reunification, leading to kids being abused and not taught the way things should be or what is expected of them.

Who would want to work in that broken system when there is no way to correctly do the job, still being as “productive” in terms of cases closed as someone who does not actually care and is only in it for the money?
