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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

In the rush to protect children, 'experts' use junk science to accuse innocent parents
(Filed: 13/12/2003)
Evidence is growing of disturbing flaws in the way allegations of child abuse are made and then pursued. James Le Fanu and David Derbyshire investigate
First there was Sally Clark, then Trupti Patel, and now Angela Cannings.
Three women wrongly accused of serial infanticide - one of the most horrendous crimes imaginable.
Each prosecution relied on evidence from Sir Roy Meadow, Britain's leading cot-death expert who decided that, on the balance of probability, these mothers had murdered their children.
Yet, according to a growing body of concerned lawyers, doctors and parents, these are not isolated cases but symptomatic of a legal and medical system so determined to protect children that it fails to protect the innocent.
In this culture junk science can be seen as fact, medical opinion is confused with truth and guilt is determined not by hard evidence, but by a checklist of medical or psychological symptoms.
Three further diagnoses - shaken baby syndrome, Munchausen Syndrome by proxy and recovered memories - account for hundreds of other wrongful convictions of innocent parents over the last two decades.
What they all have in common is that they are based on flawed opinions rather than forensic evidence. Too many doctors still embrace pseudo explanations for things they do not really understand.
There is no obvious medical reason why Sally Clark and Angela Cannings should have lost more than one child: therefore they must have smothered them.
This boy's injuries seemed too serious to have resulted, as the parents insist, from a minor fall: therefore he must have been shaken violently.
There is no clear reason why this teenage girl is suffering from anorexia: she must have been sexually abused by her father.
In the past it has been almost impossible to counter such accusations. Over the last 18 months, however, the scientific basis of each of these diagnoses has been seriously undermined.
The most common false allegation is Shaken Baby Syndrome.
The "characteristic" sign for this is the presence of bleeding at the back of the eyes, known as retinal haemorrhages.
This may sound plausible, but recent studies have shown it is actually very difficult to generate the necessary forces to cause such an injury.
Rather, it is now clear that there are several alternative explanations.
The impact of a baby's head on a hard floor, following a trivial fall, can burst a vessel on the surface of the brain.
A rapid increase of pressure within the skull impairs the return of blood from the eye and can cause a retinal haemorrhage.
It may also occur immediately after birth - caused by pressure on the baby's head in the birth canal - or as a result of meningitis and other devastating illnesses.
Retinal haemorrhages, are, in short, not "characteristic" of SBS.
Next we have Munchausen Syndrome by proxy, a diagnosis first described by Sir Roy Meadow who claimed that some mothers seek the attention of doctors and others by covertly harming their children.
MSBP has now been invoked to explain over 100 unexplained patterns of illness, including epilepsy, abdominal pain, bleeding, diarrhoea, fevers, lethargy and so on.
The third source of false allegation is "recovered memories" of sexual abuse.
Here, the guiding principle is the assumption that there must be a "cause" for an adolescent's psychological disturbance - and if it is not forthcoming, this is because she is repressing her memory of some traumatic event - ie that she has been a victim of sexual abuse. It is easy enough to imagine oneself in any of these situations, when your child tumbles off a bed, bangs his head, has some mystery illness or goes temporarily off the rails.
If you are then swept into a legal nightmare, the only protection against intimidatory tactics, threats, court orders and technical jargon is a good lawyer.
Campaigners for parents wrongly accused of abuse say that the system has to change.
They believe that a handful of medical experts have had too much influence in the family court system.
"LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson's parents said in a TV interview that their son is innocent of the child molestation allegations against him and that they would care for his children if they are taken away from him.
In an interview that aired Friday on ABC, the couple also accused Michael Jackson's handlers of trying to keep them away from their son.
'Some people are trying to accuse him of being a pedophile, and that is not true,' Katherine Jackson said in the interview.
She said her son told her the allegations were not true and not to worry.
'But I told him you don't know these wicked people, these people are just mean and wicked.'"
I guess they've heard. I wonder if the Jackson family would be willing to throw any support or money towards our cause. For example, Dr. Shirley Moore of LA is accepting donations for her campaign for CA State Assembly. She's a member of AFRA. We could also use money for demonstrations against CPS, like the one mentioned below, scheduled for Feb. 14 in LA and Sacramento... for mailing media packets out, for contacting legislators. The list could go on and on.
LITTLE ROCK - Frank Oscar Todd and Debra Nelson, both of Benton County, should retain custody of their child, despite his facing a capital-murder charge in the death of her 5-month-old grandson, their attorneys told the state Court of Appeals on Wednesday.
Todd is being held without bond in the Benton County jail. His trial is expected to occur in June, said his court-appointed public defender, Lora Noschese, after Wednesday's oral arguments.
She told the judges her client has only been charged and no charges have been filed alleging abuse against his own son, now 4-years-old.
'There's no evidence that they should find grounds to terminate' parental rights, Noschese said.
Nelson's attorney, DeeNita Moak of Little Rock, argued she has cooperated fully with the state Department of Human Services since the death of her grandson and she has not been charged in connection with the death.
'She did everything DHS asked her to do in this case,' Moak said after oral arguments. 'She did not try to defend (Todd) and she left him immediately.'
DHS attorney Gray Turner argued that the circuit court judge who heard the custody issue said he thought Nelson either knew, or should have known, that the baby was in danger.
Turner also said some evidence found at the scene indicated that child abuse may have occurred previously in the home.
Nelson and Todd had a son, Jacob, in 1999.
In January 2002, Nelson was living in Pea Ridge with their young son. She also was taking care of her two grandchildren, a 1-year-old girl and 5-month-old boy named Noah, while her daughter was in Texas, according to police and court documents.
On Jan. 12, Nelson went to a hospital to visit a friend and left Todd, who at that time was living in Garfield, to baby-sit the three young children.
Less than 25 minutes later, Todd called 911 to report that the 5-month-old was unresponsive.
The infant was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Rogers and then transferred to Arkansas Children's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Doctors have said in affidavits that the child had multiple skull fractures and other severe injuries commonly associated with physical abuse.
Todd was charged with capital murder in connection with the boy's death and ordered held without bond.
The following day, Nelson's 1-year-old granddaughter and her son were removed from her home. The granddaughter was placed in the custody of her paternal grandparents in Texas. Her son was placed in a foster home.
Ten months later, DHS moved to terminate Nelson and Todd's custody of their child.
Circuit Court Judge Jay Finch later upheld the request to terminate their parental rights.
The boy's foster parents are now considering adopting the child, Moak said.
The court is likely to rule on the custody issue by early next year.
What's a parent to do? She's not accused of any crime. She cooperated with child protective services plans for her life, expected reunification, and now they want to pull the rug out from under this family because a fosterer wants to adopt. Our legislators need to put an end to this suffering. Children belong with the parents God gave them, and in a case like this where the child wasn't being abused and a non-abusive parent is available to take care of him, he should be sent home as quickly as humanly possible.
Six foster-care children from the Bronx and Brooklyn and their legal guardians have filed a lawsuit against a Rockland County school and residential center, charging that the executive staff severely abused the children over the course of at least the last two years.
The suit, which was filed on Wednesday in State Supreme Court in the Bronx, accuses the staff at the Edwin Gould Academy in Chestnut Ridge, N.Y., of carrying knives and guns, abusing drugs and alcohol, and beating, choking and illegally injecting their charges with antipsychotic drugs like Thorazine. It also alleges that some members of the staff offered to share marijuana with the children under their care and harassed them verbally, warning them to "sleep with one eye open" and telling them they would likely "wind up dead or in jail."
The academy, which was founded in 1990, receives foster-care children by referral from New York City and state child welfare agencies. It currently houses 150 to 200 youths from ages 12 to 20, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit says that students there "live in fear and are beaten, assaulted and battered regularly."
Instead of nurturing and encouraging the students, Edwin Gould's staff antagonized and ridiculed them, telling them that they were going to "end up on the street" or "sell drugs for a living," the suit said.
Neither Thomas L. Webber, the superintendent and executive director of the academy, nor members of his staff returned phone calls yesterday seeking comment about the suit.
According to the suit, one student's arm was broken when two staff members threw him to the ground during an altercation. Two other students were awakened by staff members choking them, the lawsuit says.
In all, 11 staff members, including Mr. Webber, were accused in the suit of negligence, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The suit, filed by Christopher Seeger, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
A woman facing a manslaughter trial in the death of her autistic foster daughter has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of felony injury to a child.
Denise Whittle, 34, was released Tuesday on her own recognizance pending her March 1 sentencing, court officials said. Whittle has spent about 250 days in jail awaiting trial.
�We�ll be free to argue for probation,� public defender Pat Kiernan said.
Elizabeth Goodwin was found drowned in the bathtub in the Whittles� Coeur d�Alene home Oct. 22, 2002.
Denise Whittle told police she looked away from the bathing girl for just a moment. When she looked back, she saw Elizabeth was face-down in 6 inches of water.
Denise Whittle was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter. She has entered an Alford plea, meaning without admitting guilt, she acknowledged prosecutors� case was strong enough to convict her.
Meanwhile, a felony charge of injury to a child remains against her husband, James Whittle, 36. On Tuesday, a judge denied a motion to release him or reduce his bail from $100,000.
James Whittle is accused of allowing Elizabeth�s leg to be broken 19 months before her death.

The foster care mess
Some children are put in harm's way for a buck.
Wednesday, December 10, 2003 - A wronged father called L.A. County's foster care system "legalized kidnapping" for profit, and a pattern of disturbing evidence shows that he isn't far from the truth.
A two-year investigation by the Los Angeles Newspaper Group (an organization that includes the Press-Telegram) found that the system has taken thousands of children away from their parents in cases where it may not have been necessary or advisable, sending them to homes that are sometimes more dangerous than the ones they left.
The reason? It appears to be a twisted system of financial incentives that rewards states and counties for placing additional children in foster care from $30,000 to $150,000 for each child.
The reward system, which one expert called the "perverse incentive factor," has led L.A. County and others to whisk children away from their parents when alternatives might have worked as well or better, such as parenting classes and family counseling. It is also thought that the financial incentives are making workers less likely to pursue claims of neglect and abuse.
In some extreme cases, children have been taken from their parents for little or no reason. The father who accused the county of kidnapping spent $150,000 in legal fees before the county admitted its mistake and returned the daughter it had wrongfully taken from him. In that context, his comments actually sound restrained.
In the LANG investigation, experts inside and outside the foster care system said that as many as half of the county's 75,000 children in foster care and adoptive homes may not really need to be there, and the money motive is probably to blame. With the right kinds of services, many of those children could have stayed with their parents or relatives.
The number of children in L.A. County foster care has more than doubled since the 1980s, and as a result the system is now overburdened, strained and dangerous. Previous studies have shown that children in L.A. County's foster care system are three times more likely to be killed than children in the general population. Since 1991, 660 children in foster care have died; 160 of those deaths were homicides.
In many cases the system is still working as intended, when it moves abused and neglected children, born to parents who never should have had them, into better homes. But it is also much too quick to remove children in less harmful situations where other solutions could be used.
There is hope. Child advocates are optimistic that L.A. County's new foster care director, David Sanders, will undertake the reforms and changes necessary to fix this badly broken system. This week the presiding juvenile court judge, Michael Nash, called on county attorneys, judges and social workers to determine which children in foster care could be safely returned to their parents or relatives. And the U.S. Congress next summer is scheduled to hear legislation that would change the way funding is allocated, and give states and counties more flexibility to utilize services that could help keep more families together.
Among other changes, these reforms must take the price tags off children's heads and force the system to treat them as human beings, not dollars in a budget.
Results from the Maine 'Walk for Accountability' and demonstration at the Capitol:
Surrounded by about 50 supporters, Maine state Rep. Edward Dugay concluded his 'Walk for DHS Accountability' Monday with a rally at the State House Hall of Flags and a warm pledge of support from the governor.Dugay, a Cherryfield Democrat, started his 88-mile journey from Ellsworth last week in an attempt to highlight the need for systemic change throughout the Child Protective Services Division of the state Department of Human Services .
A former staffer for Gov. John E. Baldacci when the governor was Maine's 2nd District congressman, Dugay believes the department is pursuing policies that frustrate efforts to reunite families.
As the result of existing DHS practices that are monitored and enforced by the state Attorney General's Office, Dugay said, many children who have been placed in foster care by the state have little or no hope of re-establishing relationships with their birth parents.
Baldacci, who did not comment specifically on any of the child protective policies at DHS, indicated changes were needed there.
Coping now with intense legislative scrutiny, DHS is perceived by some lawmakers as a "rudderless ship" under the supervision of acting Commissioner Peter Walsh. Baldacci has, in fact, assigned several of his top staffers to oversee day-to-day financial operations at DHS, where bookkeeping errors have cost the state more than $100 million.
The administration is in the midst of merging DHS with another large social service agency - the Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services - to create a more efficient and less personnel-intensive state welfare division. The governor said Monday plans for the DHS overhaul are flexible enough to include the consideration of Dugay's concerns.
"I appreciate your leadership and work to organize this walk," Baldacci told Dugay. "It reinforces the importance of what we're trying to do about [improving] accountability. We want to make sure we have an organization that has unification between its different levels, bureaus and departments. We want individuals to be assigned with responsibility to make sure we're supporting families. ... The best social service department is the family."
Mary Callahan, a foster parent who was instrumental in organizing the walk with Dugay, said the needs of many state wards are often misperceived by DHS caseworkers whose assessments are shrouded in a fog of psychobabble.
"Any unnecessary separating of parent from child is cruel," Callahan said. "Common sense would tell us that children behave better where they are happier and are destructive in a home where they don't want be.
"But DHS says when children are destructive in their foster home after a pleasant visit with their birth family, it indicates that they are only comfortable being themselves in the foster home and they are demonstrating their negative feelings about the visit they just had," the foster parent said. "This bizarre logic is frequently used to stop family visits and even cease reunification efforts."
Dugay, whose 88-mile walk was interrupted Sunday by the heavy snows from this weekend's nor'easter, plans to prepare and support legislation aimed at restructuring DHS policies when lawmakers return to work Jan. 7.
In the event that any of the proposed legislation fails to produce the kind of changes he feels are needed, the Health and Human Services Committee member said, he would launch a citizen's initiative to place the issue directly before Mainers in a statewide referendum.
"We want [DHS] to reallocate existing funds and place children with kinship or to place them with birth parents or grandparents," he said. "We want the funds allocated to these divisions to be spent objectively and in a way that shows us how the money is being spent and whether or not it's accomplishing its purpose."
Dugay was joined Monday by foster parents, biological parents and children who felt they were treated unfairly by DHS.
The rally also was attended by several Republican and Democratic lawmakers who agreed that the kind of revisions in policy being recommended for the state agency were long overdue.
Rep. Al Goodwin, D-Pembroke, said he already had prepared a bill to eliminate what he referred to as "hearsay" testimony offered by DHS caseworkers in child custody cases, claiming it is wrong for courts to reach determinations based on what a social worker thinks or feels.
Although the 121st Legislature is scheduled to adjourn in April, Rep. Rod Carr, R-Lincoln, said that with Baldacci's support, the Legislature should be able to effect some positive and constructive changes at DHS.
"The work needs to be done by the administration and from what we've heard from the administration, I'm in hopes that something will be accomplished because there definitely needs to be some changes," Carr said.
Praises for Representative Edward Dugay - willing to speak out against draconian child welfare practices in his state. What a blessing that is for those heartbroken parents, grandparents, and others.

Critics also expect heavy opposition from what they call the private 'child-abuse industry,' which has grown wealthy and powerful over the years off the $20 billion-a-year child welfare system, a two-year investigation by the Daily News found.
In the private foster care agencies that oversee most of the children, some executives receive up to $310,000 a year in salaries and benefits and spend millions of taxpayer dollars for posh offices, expensive furniture and luxury cars, according to tax returns and county audits.
Shocking, isn't it? But not surprising when you consider group homes receive from about $2000 to $5000 per month for each child they have assigned to them. Most groups homes have about six children. Can you imagine any family with that much money for the monthly budget? The house is owned by a corporation. The employees living in the home receive a mere pittance.. maybe $1000 to $2000 per month. But the income from the children incarcerated there is somewhere between $12,000 to $30,000 per month depending on how the children are classified in terms of difficulty of care. Now I don't know about you, but most people I know don't have $12,000 for a monthly budget, let alone $30,000. So the house is given a very small operating budget, probably $2000 or less, and the excess money goes to administration.
Manhattan Beach attorney Sanford Jossen, who filed a class-action lawsuit in 2000 alleging staff at MacLaren Children's Center manhandled children and broke their bones, wrote in a court objection to the ACLU settlement that it seduces the public into believing reforms are on the way, but in reality does little more than create a six-member advisory panel to make recommendations with no timeline for implementation.
"In this respect, history continues to repeat itself," Jossen wrote. "Studies are done. Recommendations are made. Implementation does not occur. More delays result. The proposed settlement agreement creates the illusion of promise, but on closer inspections provides for nothing."
EXACTLY! Thanks for making this clear. All the reforms are useless so long as we're having people profiting from child welfare in charge of the reforms. They are NOT interested in real reforms. They want business as usual, because that's where they get their money.
Prime example:
State Department of Social Services spokeswoman Blanca Castro said the state is redesigning the foster care system and focusing on what can be done to keep families together.
The result is several recent reports by the Child Welfare Services Stakeholders Group, a group of 60 child welfare experts, that call for an "ambitious and far-reaching overhaul" of the state's foster care system.
The reforms, starting in January, call for Los Angeles and 10 other counties to use a series of innovative programs that have been successful elsewhere in the nation.
"We don't expect to turn this around overnight," Castro said. "It's taken us 20 years to get to this point. It's going to take five to 10 years to turn this boat around."
Of course she wants it to take another ten years. She benefits from the status quo: $$$ System Money $$$
This is a 'must read' for anyone wanting to understand the child welfare system better. I truly believe Sabrina could have been a good parent to Imesha, if she'd been given a chance. But with the stress of a child welfare case, the parents were torn apart and unable to cope. This is the story of a tragedy that replays itself in similar forms all over this country every year.
Wherever you are, Sabrina, we love you and care about what happened.
Apparently Santa Clara County's 'ombudsman' who supposedly 'helps' families in trouble with CPS has moved out of the country after altering files and scattering private confidential client files as if they were rubbish. Naturally, nothing was getting investigated right either.
That's what you get when you appoint a wolf to guard the chicken house.
So what did the county do to remedy this situation??
For now, Social Services Agency leaders say calm has been restored. An interim ombudswoman has been named: Jocelyn Crumpton, a former San Francisco child welfare official. She does not speak Spanish, so non-English speakers are being directed to Gil Villagran, a longtime family and children's services employee and former social worker.
Yup, more wolves (their own employees and cronies) to guard the chicken house practically guaranteeing nothing will change, nothing will get better. Well, they've gotta protect caseworker jobs, you know. That's probably more important to them than protecting Constitutional Rights of poor families.
That's your government - not caring about you or your kids. For all the times we've told this man over and over for years now about the terrorism against families in this country - there he is, signing yet another stupid adoption promotion law to give bounty payments to states, thus encouraging them to kidnap more of our children under color of law. BUSH IS NOT OUR FRIEND.
Bush renewed a law passed in 1997 that sends $4,000 in federal money per child to state governments that exceed their placement performances from the previous year. His signature also provides new financial incentives for states to place children 9 and older with adoptive families.
Under the reauthorized law, states will get an additional $4,000 for every adoption of a child 9 or older, over a baseline set by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Yes, that's the bounty payment for every child they can steal then sell out. Sick, isn't it?
Bush said the 1997 law, an expansion of an adoption tax credit he enacted in 2001 and a new government Web site had fueled a surge in adoptions.
"In just five years, from 1998 to 2002, the states placed more than 230,000 children in adoptive homes, about the same number that had been adopted in the previous 10 years," he said, speaking in the Roosevelt Room surrounded by four adoptive families. And 33 states and the District of Columbia have at least doubled foster-care adoptions, he said. "We're making some progress here in America."
PROGRESS? It depends, Mr. Bush... if you think progress is to destroy American families by encouraging states to rob poor people of their kids so they can get federal money, well I guess you've made progress. Karl Marx would be proud of you. A Communist Goal from the Cold War: Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Yes, you Mr. Bush have taken their side and destroyed many families and children's lives by letting us down this way.

"The Daily News' investigation of the child-welfare system, which is shrouded in secrecy by confidentiality laws, involved the review of tens of thousands of pages of government and confidential juvenile court documents, studies, computer databases and several hundred interviews."
I'm glad to see the major media is finally 'getting it'. The tide is turning. I've been working towards this for fourteen years. There are numerous talented activists working to expose and eradicate the harmful child welfare system.
There are so many good parts to this article I can't point to just one or two... I urge whoever comes through here to read it all.
"As the investigation progressed, state and county officials acknowledged that the financial incentives built into the laws encourage the needless placements of children in foster care, and officials have started taking steps to reform the system."
Sure, after twenty-plus years of destroying American families, their dirty little secret is out. Suddenly "officials" are jumping all over each other to try to make reforms. We're supposed to think if they reform things, they can just carry on their systematic family destruction as usual, maybe with a new name or new mission statement. But most likely, nothing will change until the federal laws change, and until the system is entirely wiped out. It is a plague on our land, nothing less. Child welfare 'reformers' are just miserable slobs trying to keep their systemite jobs.
"She [researcher Susan Orr] noted that nearly 50 percent of child-abuse deaths occur in families that have had some contact with children's services agencies. That statistic, say experts, shows the system is failing in its basic mission of protecting children from truly abusive parents."
The system doesn't work. The answer is to end government terrorism against American families now!
