Laws and Government Websites

Chapter VIII:Protective Services Regulations - if you're being persecuted, read these and keep notes on everything the caseworkers have done wrong.

North Carolina Page At FindLaw - links to NC laws, regulations, media resources, directories, and more.

"Following a disposition in North Carolina, the court must conduct a review in 90 days and must conduct a review hearing at least every six months thereafter. Our permanency planning hearing must also be held before the court either within 30 days of a change in goal from reunification to some other plan, or within twelve months of being placed in non-secure custody."
There are two different "review systems" in North Carolina. One is the court review system, the other is the Permanency Planning Action Team reviews. Both follow the same timeline. 1st review within 60 days of coming into care. 2nd Review 90 days from there and then every 6 months. (6 month review). Those are the standards with allowances for making them more frequent.

Judges rule against home-schoolers - May 17, 2001 - unbelievably, judges stated that social workers are not "state actors" and that the Fourth Amendment doesn't apply to them! This case of 2-year-old 'streaker' goes next to North Carolina state Supreme Court. If the social workers don't work for the government, then who they hell do they work for? Satan?

What is Child Abuse? - how North Carolina defines child abuse. On alt.support.child-protective-services Jamie pointed out that the list contains such trivial "indicators" as speech disorders, delayed physical or emotional development, ulcers, asthma, severe allergies, habit disorders, sucking, rocking, unduly passive and undemanding, very low self-esteem, extremely demanding, aggressive, and angry antisocial, destructive, depressed and/or suicidal, attention seeking, delinquent behavior, especially in adolescents........ with a list of things like this for mandated reporters, every child in the state should eventually end up in state custody. Beware the child "protectors"!!

Her Name Was Candace - I am heartsick after reading about this child, who is, or was, the same age as my daughter. Candace was taken by North Carolina CPS five years ago and placed with an adoptive caretaker who gave her everything that money could buy. Then she paid for her to be killed with bad therapy in a "rebirthing" session. This child's life will educate a lot of people on how stupid it is to think a child is better off with a rich woman rather than her own loving mom.

Jamie's Place - hasn't this mother suffered enough yet? Another shocking North Carolina case. The court decided she is good enough to raise her teenagers, but they won't give back the 8 year old, because the foster parents want to adopt.

Allie's Story - North Carolina mom on a military base finds out that asking for help can cause all kinds of problems. Why can't people just help each other anymore, without calling for CPS?

Shelli's Story: Can You Imagine? - North Carolina strikes again - this mom's story puts you in her place, showing you what it is like to have CPS show up at the door. Can you imagine? Is life in America really that bad these days? Apparently so...

North Carolina Activists

Shelli Sexton - Can You Imagine? - I have been dealing with CP$ most of my life,as I was a foster child and aged out in the system, I thought that would be the end of my involvement with CP$,but boy was I wrong, less then 2 yrs later CP$ took my nephew, so I was pulled back in again due to him being family. Then when CP$ terminated my sisters perental rights of both of my nephews, I thought ok CP$ is out of my life again, but onve again I was very wrong. As my own children were taken over a false report and due to Me standing up for my family. I am in for this fight til the day I die. I fought CP$ hard and got my children returned to me in only 12 weeks, compared to the least normal in NC being 6 months.

Jamie Escobedo - http://www.dreamwater.net/jamie7 - I have been fighting CP$ now for 4 years. In those 4 years I have learned alot and would like to share with people who are going through similar situtions. I live in NC. I'm ready and willing to fight these people. If anyone out there in NC or anywhere else for that matter feels the same please contact me.
