Child Protective Services "CPS" False Accusations | Family Rights v. Child Welfare

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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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.

Bad Child Protective Services agents deserve to be sued.

Caseworkers charged with child abuse

YES! Its about time caseworkers are being held criminally negligent for ignoring abuse in fosterincarceration facilities! This has been going on far too long.

Children are far more likely to be harmed or killed in fosterincarceration, but caseworkers turn their heads and ignore it way too often because there's no financial payoff for taking kids from fosterers... the only financial payoff is to take kids from their natural (or adoptive) parents... so guess who gets investigated most often?

Thank you Michael Duggan for bringing criminal charges against these two caseworkers!

Prosecutor says pair overlooked 2 earlier attacks on dead boy
By Jennifer Brooks / The Detroit News

DEARBORN -- Two social workers who were supposed to safeguard a 4-year-old in foster care have been charged with child abuse and criminal negligence after authorities say the boy was beaten to death in his new foster home.

The child, Joshua Causey, died March 18, and his foster mother, Lynda Carol Baker, is awaiting trial on a first-degree murder count. But on at least two occasions, prosecutors say, the boy's caseworkers overlooked evidence of abuse in the home -- including two black eyes and a fractured shoulder.

Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan Monday announced the charges against social worker Beth Kaplansky, 30, of Birmingham, and her supervisor, Lori Ann Wright, 33, of Taylor. They were charged Monday with second-degree felony child abuse and with failure to report child abuse. Both work for the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center in Farmington Hills.

Joshua was one of six siblings from Pontiac who were removed from an abusive home and placed in state foster care last year. He and his 3-year-old brother were placed in the Baker home in August. In the seven months that followed, records show that his caseworker visited only once, in December, even though his care plan called for monthly home visits.

On Feb. 18, Joshua arrived for his regular counseling session at the Fisher center with two black eyes and a sore arm. The next day, center staff reviewed the incident and took no action.

On Feb. 28, he showed up with an Ace bandage wrapped tightly around his arm from shoulder to wrist, crying in pain. Although there was a nurse on duty, prosecutors say Kaplansky took the boy to her supervisor, who called the foster mother and accepted the explanation that Joshua had hurt his arm falling out of bed.

His autopsy would show an untreated shoulder fracture. It was the sort of injury that could only come from an arm being pulled violently, not from a fall, said Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Patricia Leonard.

At the time of Joshua's death, he was one of four foster children living in the home. Baker earned approximately $96,000 a year from the state for caring for the foster children and an adopted child and for helping her mother care for her own foster children.

Officials at the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center are backing their caseworkers, even as they launch a review of the incident.

"St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center is confident that no act or omission by its employees caused Joshua's death," the center's president, Paula J. Herbert, said in a statement Monday.

Second-degree child abuse carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison; failing to report child abuse or neglect is a misdemeanor.
