Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.

Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.





Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.

Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.

Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.

CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now give up these unworthy professions and find something more dignified to do with your lives. Let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.

Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.

It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.

Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.

California: Baby damaged by drugs in foster home



$4 million settlement proposed for child with brain damage

LOS ANGELES - The county should pay $4 million to care for a child who was left severely brain-damaged because her foster mother fed her Prozac, Xanax and other drugs for years, a panel recommended.

The lawsuit settlement, if approved by the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 9, would be among the largest the county has ever paid to a single plaintiff, County Counsel Lloyd W. Pellman said. It was recommended Monday by the county claims board.

The money would provide overall care for the 4-year-old girl, who is in a round-the-clock care facility, said attorney Richard Voorhies, who filed the negligence lawsuit in Superior Court on the girl's behalf.

"What happened to this child was absolutely horrendous," Voorhies said.

In a memo to supervisors, county lawyers said the county failed to follow its own guidelines for supervising the girl, identified in legal papers as Baby S.

The girl, then 6 months old, was placed with Lynette Harms of Carpinteria in 1996. According to the lawsuit, Harms, who had adopted Baby S's older sister, was a drug addict and over several years gave the child Phenobarbital, the sedative Xanax, the antidepressant Prozac, the sleeping drug chloral hydrate and other drugs.

Some drugs were prescribed by a local pediatrician but required court approval was never sought, according to the lawsuit.

In 1999, the comatose girl was taken to Santa Barbara Hospital, where she was found to have brain and liver damage.

The lawsuit, alleging negligence, said some of the five social workers on the case failed to make legally required visits to the home. None were made between April and October 1998, according to a claims board document.

Harms was convicted of shoplifting in Santa Maria in 1998 and her foster license was revoked the next year, the lawsuit said.

Harms, the pediatrician and pharmacies previously agreed to settle their parts of the lawsuit for $3.45 million.
