Re: closing the valve on the openly running faucet of children pouring into pizzagate as "missing" foster "care" children.

The history of LE losing their potential funding to protect a sizable portion of their publics dates back to 1974 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Abuse_Prevention_and_Treatment_Act)), and possibly earlier. Some LE agencies have taken back some of the funding, as have six agencies of Florida, for example: http://www.centerforchildwelfare.org/kb/LegislativeMandatedRpts/AnnualSheriffPerfRptFY15-16.pdf

However, such reports as linked above may be flawed in showing a "greater expense" when they "experimentally" "give authority" (i.e., funding) to LE agencies to do LE's job of protecting its citizenry. Just as one example for starters, they do not seem to consider the initial crime identification factor cost in that DCF, by its own statistics, absorbs a high number of identified false positives, and innocent children suffer the consequences of such socially biased investigations, if not suffering the lifetime harm of being destructively torn from families based on flawed "investigations" by those poorly trained at identifying and documenting evidence.

Of course, the very impressively presented evaluations of LEAs taking back this protective societal function (as linked above) are "conducted jointly" with SOs... and, powerfully, directly invested DCF. LEs are generally not as trained as administrative-level social workers in compiling compelling research (i.e., academically using statistics to show alleged facts, followed up with producing supporting narratives).

Here are a couple of examples of such arrangements where LEAs (SOs) have been able to successfully take back a portion of their funding—but they are under the radar to lose this funding if it can be successfully shown that they allegedly "cost the taxpayer more money": http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/Departments/Department-of-Investigative-Services/Child-Protective-Investigations-Division.aspx & http://www.pcsoweb.com/child-protection-investigations

I am sure better and more complete sources exist than linked as follows here, but there is A LOT of increasing money on the table: http://www.flgov.com/2015/10/27/gov-scott-proposes-an-additional-22-9-million-in-funding-for-the-safety-of-florida-children

Just to possibly open the conversation, are there any LEs here interested in taking back their ability (i.e., funding) to protect children in their communities? I have talked with local officers, and they agree, of course(!) that children are in need of protection from all harms.
