They want cash money.
and as to the social services, they do more harm than good, take children from their patents and place them in foster homes that are only in it for the money and usually give the children less care that they were receiving.

I do not believe that the govt has any business in family affairs, been there, done that. I over heard a kid telling another that if they weren't happy with what their parents were doing, just go to child services and tell them that they were abused at home and they would be put in a foster home.

Most in CS. have no children and have never been married, but do have a sheepskin that says they got a degree in psychology and that is enough to rule someones life. and they have not lived in the home and kinda hard to tell just from an interview.
If a child seems undernourished or is beat up then there should be an investigation to see what is going on but to just walk in and take someones children is foolish.

Besides that, there are plenty of laws in Thailand that they will not enforce and if there is not already a law, then it will do no good to make another one.

And I am not just talking to hear myself, I have been in what we are talking about and also have friends in the CS in California, never married and no kids but has a degree and has a lot of power over other peoples lives.
There are children being abused to the point of death in homes where they were placed just the same as is happening in their own homes,,so where is the line??

I give directly to the children and not to some agency where someone is making a living off the donations, and if they do not have a large savings or a job, then they are living off the donations, and maybe adding daily to the savings.

I know that I sound cynical, but have seen what happens....
