Victims of CPS seek class-action lawsuit participants

Victims of CPS seek class-action lawsuit participants | Lake Tahoe News

Letter to the community,

Tahoe Victims of CPS has joined together with families on the West Slope of El Dorado County to form the El Dorado County Victims of CPS. All parties involved are either advocates for CPS reform, or families that have had their constitutional rights violated by CPS.

First and foremost, we do not want any more children removed from innocent parents; but we also want to ensure that social workers employed by Child Protective Services’ Investigative Unit have the proper training.

We have heard from numerous parties in the community that social workers are hired off the street with no training, and the funding is not available to properly train these social workers. So what we have are employees of the county that enter people’s homes by intimidating them, and removing children without a search warrant. Not only are the families traumatized by these actions, but also social workers then falsify the facts in their report to the court to cover up their illegal activities, a fact confirmed by a number of court-appointed family court attorneys.

Law enforcement, whom we support whole-heartedly, has somehow been misinformed that they need to support these illegal acts. We encourage all law enforcement officials called to a home by a social worker, to ask where the search warrant is, unless exigent circumstances exist that put the child in harm’s way. We do not want our wonderful law enforcement members, or even social workers for that fact, leaving themselves open to criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits.

El Dorado County is a great place to live, but as residents, we need to live here without the fear of renegade social workers misinterpreting the Child Welfare Codes, which were written to protect children from gross neglect, abuse, and possible death. We want our county’s CPS to be the model that other counties and states can mirror.

We are inviting any resident of El Dorado County, past and present, to write us with their experiences of violations by Child Protective Services and their interest in a class-action lawsuit against Child Protective Services for violation of their constitutional rights, namely the 4th and 14th Amendments.”

Family Planning and U.S. Foreign Policy

Family Planning and U.S. Foreign Policy - Council on Foreign Relations

U.S. support for international family planning has long been a controversial issue in domestic politics. Conservatives tend to view family planning as code for abortion, even though U.S. law, dating to the 1973 Helms Amendment, prohibits U.S. foreign assistance funds from being used to pay for abortion. Indeed, increased access to international family planning is one of the most effective ways to reduce abortion in developing countries.

Abuse Shelters Not Serving True Victims — Petition Calls for Accountability
Contact:

Teri Stoddard, 301-801-0608
tstoddard@saveservices.org

WASHINGTON / April 27, 2011 – Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) is calling for accountability in domestic violence shelter operations. Abuse shelters have become filled with drug-abusers and homeless persons who have not been physically abused. As a result, true victims are being denied services.

The SAVE petition calls on Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin, co-chair of the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues, to require that abuse shelters:

1. Assure real victims get the priority they deserve by requiring evidence of violence or credible proof of imminent violence.

2. Not engage in discriminatory practices.

3. Offer anger management and substance abuse services by qualified staff.

4. Assure a safe and respectful environment for victims and their children.

“It’s clear many of these programs aren’t reaching the persons who are most in need,” reveals SAVE spokesman Philip W. Cook. “And that means we’re not helping the real victims break the cycle of violence.”

The challenges facing abuse shelters are documented in SAVE’s Special Report “Are Abuse Shelters Helping the True Victims of Domestic Violence?“ at http://www.saveservices.org/downloads/Abuse-Shelters-doc.

Psychopsema psy-cho-pse-ma is a system of questionable actions that a Social Service agency or a Child Protection Service agency might utilize to achieve profit, through fraudulent means.

Psychopsema is mainly categorized as an orchestrated assault, utilizing several methods of fraud, psychological operations, psychological intimidation and other similar premeditated offense based systems, against a parent, a child or a family.

A malicious social worker or other malicious social service professionals (usually, employed by a Child Protection Service (CPS) agency or a similar social service agency) are commonly identified as utilizing this system or methodology to achieve profit.

Psychopsema is usually implemented to deflect attention, away from crimes committed by said workers against children. As, those children are sometimes canvased for the purpose of profit.

The term and description were created by Canadian and American social service crime researchers Nicolas Stathopoulos and Felicita Luna in early 2011. Both researchers are part of SSEC Social Service Economic Crimes (research)
1 - A false report of child abuse is authored by a group of social workers against a single parent or parents. The colluding workers then, utilize the methodology of psychopsema to profit from the crime.

2 - A malicious social service worker colludes with her peers to fabricate evidence and to practice psychopsema.

3 - The system of psychopsema subjects a victim into the social service system without merit or justification.

4 - Psychopsema is mainly categorized as an orchestrated assault against a parent, a child or a family by a social service worker, seeking to profit from a crime.

N.J. spent approximately 51 .7 million on 317 child neglect and abuse lawsuits on behalf of foster children abused while in state foster homes

The case Camreta v. Greene involves parents’ and children’s rights in child welfare cases. The case started when a mother in Oregon sued child protective services because of what they had done to her daughter. The child protective services (CPS) worker in the case did something that’s actually pretty common around the country: the CPS worker and a police officer came to a child’s school and took a child out of class to question her.

WKSU News: Social services area rethinking how they do business in Ohio

Kinship Care is a alternative to foster care. Grandparents or other family members adopt or become guardians of children. State assistance in such cases is typically less expensive for taxpayers than foster care.

Governor John Kasich says his proposed two-year budget will eliminate an 8 billion dollar hole as much by changing how the state operates as by cutting the dollars themselves. WKSU’s Tim Rudell takes a closer look at how some social services in Northeast Ohio will be forced to adapt – as will the people who use them.

$10 Million Settlement For Child Abused By Foster Parent Demonstrates Lapses In Oversight System | Jonathan Rosenfeld - Nursing Home Abuse - JDSupra

Summary: A significant settlement in a foster care abuse lawsuit demonstrated the defects in regulatory system meant to protect vulnerable children and infants. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of a 5-year-old boy who was placed into the foster care system after his birth mother was deemed unfit to care for the baby by her family.

From the time the boy was placed in the custody of his foster mother, he was repeatedly physically abused by the woman. An ancillary criminal trial of the foster mother demonstrated that repeated episodes of physical abuse resulted in a permanent brain injury to the boy.

Foster children and antidepressants
Meet the New Advocate for Foster Children—Giovan Bazan
Imagine for a moment that you're a child in the foster care system in the US; you don't have a family, you live in a state-run institution, and you along with more than half of the other foster kids are forced to take psychiatric drugs which give you horrific side effects. You are literally treated worse than a prisoner, and you're just a kid. The horrible truth is that today, 52 percent of foster care kids are being given psychiatric drugs including antidepressants and powerful antipsychotics. That's about a quarter of a million kids in the U.S. alone on drugs that cause depression, psychosis, aggression, mania, violent and suicidal tendencies. These children need a voice.

Meet this week's Watchdog Radio show guest, Giovan Bazan. A former foster child himself, he has been to hell and back and lived to tell about it.

Foster youth organization opposes bill to open dependency courts

Foster youth organization opposes bill to open dependency courts - San Jose Mercury News

A Democratic state legislator who vowed to better protect California's 58,000 foster children by opening up the secretive dependency courts governing their lives now faces opposition from the very youth his bill aims to champion.
Declaring that "children need sunshine to thrive and so does our dependency system," Los Angeles Assemblyman Mike Feuer is pushing a bill that would bring California in line with a growing number of states that have taken the foster care courts out of the shadows. Assembly Bill 73, set for a key committee hearing Tuesday, proposes testing open courts for four years in three of California's 58 counties, including Los Angeles. If the pilot program proves successful, the courts would be opened statewide.

Federal Jury in San Jose, CA Awards $3.25 Million in Damages to Family for Unlawful Seizure of Their Children Represented by The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson

Federal Jury in San Jose, CA Awards $3.25 Million in Damages to Family for Unlawful Seizure of Their Children Represented by The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson

In one of the largest jury awards in San Jose in the last 20 years, a federal jury took only 90 minutes to award $3.25 million dollars to a family whose children had been unlawfully taken by San Jose police officers as retaliation for asserting their rights as citizens. Most notably, the jury assessed $2 million dollars in punitive damages for the officers’ reckless abuse of authority. The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson in Walnut Creek, CA and Robert Powell & Associates of San Jose, CA represented the family in their claims against the officers and the City of San Jose.
ShareThis Email PDF Print
The jury rejected the officer's claims of exigency in seizing the children and took only 45 minutes to find they violated the entire family's civil rights.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 04, 2011

A jury in U.S. District Court in Northern California today returned a unanimous verdict against officers from the San Jose Police Department for the violation of an entire family’s civil rights and awarded $3.25 million in damages. The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson in Walnut Creek, CA and Robert Powell & Associates in San Jose, CA represented the family in their claims against the officers and the City of San Jose.
According to a police recording entered into evidence during trial, the action stemmed from an incident on June 29, 2005 where officers William Hoyt and Craig Blank with at least five other uniformed officers responded to an unverified claim of abuse, entered the home of a San Jose family on a child welfare check, then removed two children without a warrant and later seized a third child as well.
The jury heard testimony during the week-long trial that officers in the department have never sought warrants or court orders for removing children – in violation of federal law – and then falsified their claims of an emergency to justify taking all of the children.
In one of the largest jury awards in nearly two decades in San Jose, the federal jury took only 45 minutes to find liability for all claims against Hoyt and Blank, and two days later took just 90 minutes to award $1.25 million in compensatory damages for the family plus an additional $2 million in punitive damages. The case C06-4029 RMW, Watson v. Craig Blank, William Hoyt and the City of San Jose, went to trial on March 23, 2011 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division. After a week of testimony, the jury found Blank and Hoyt liable for constitutional violations against the family on March 30, and awarded damages two days later on April 1.
“We feel this jury verdict exposes a long-standing practice of warrantless ‘snatch-and-grab’ conduct by law enforcement agencies in Santa Clara County and sends a resounding message to the San Jose Police Department, as well as all other law enforcement officers in Santa Clara County,” said Peter Johnson, attorney for the family. “They are on notice their unlawful conduct will not be tolerated, and officers will be held accountable.”

Foster children would be allowed to get clothing only from second hand stores SICK!!!

Foster children would be allowed to get clothing only from second hand stores | Michigan Messenger


Under a new budget proposal from State Sen. Bruce Casswell, children in the state’s foster care system would be allowed to purchase clothing only in used clothing stores.

Casswell, a Republican representing Branch, Hillsdale, Lenawee and St. Joseph counties, made the proposal this week, reports Michigan Public Radio.

His explanation?

“I never had anything new,” Caswell says. “I got all the hand-me-downs. And my dad, he did a lot of shopping at the Salvation Army, and his comment was — and quite frankly it’s true — once you’re out of the store and you walk down the street, nobody knows where you bought your clothes.”

Under his plan, foster children would receive gift cards that could only be used at places like the Salvation Army, Goodwill and other second hand clothing stores.

The plan was knocked by the Michigan League for Human Services. Gilda Jacobs, executive director of the group, had this to say:

“Honestly, I was flabbergasted,” Jacobs says. “I really couldn’t believe this. Because I think, gosh, is this where we’ve gone in this state? I think that there’s the whole issue of dignity. You’re saying to somebody, you don’t deserve to go in and buy a new pair of gym shoes. You know, for a lot of foster kids, they already have so much stacked against them.”

Casswell says the plan will save the state money, though it isn’t clear how much the state spends on clothing for foster children or how much could be saved this way.

I recently came across an example which falls into the last category.

‘Grandfamily’ summit focus on law, kinship

‘Grandfamily’ summit focus on law, kinship — Maine News — Bangor Daily News

There are about 11,000 children in Maine being raised by family members other than their parents — aunts and uncles, grandparents, older siblings and others.

The challenges of being a “grandfamily” — the term that has been coined for such arrangements — are many, ranging from the physical difficulty older caregivers may have keeping up with active youngsters to legal issues of guardianship and custody. That’s why the Bangor nonprofit organization Families and Children Together has teamed up with the Center on Aging at the University of Maine and the Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project to present the third annual Maine Summit for Grandfamilies. The focus of this year’s event, to be held next month, is “The Law, Kinship and Children.”

Gabriel Baker is a red-headed, 3-year-old bucket of giggles. His energy seems limitless. He is playing with the cat, he is climbing on the couch, drawing on paper, “driving” one of his beloved train sets, showing off a craft project from Sunday school — all in the blink of an eye.

He’s a normal little boy in a normal living room in a normal home.

But if the state had not made major changes in rules governing when and why children should be removed from their homes, this family portrait would have looked quite different.

“Ten years ago, I have no doubt the state would have petitioned to have Gabriel removed to foster care,” Ellen Farnsworth of Maine Families, which provides services, assessments and referrals to parents, said on a recent visit to the Baker home.

Did you know that “the powerful billion-dollar drug industry designs and interprets studies to suit their interests”? Drug companies can hand pick the trials or studies of a particular drug to be published. In fact, drug companies are not even required to publish their studies nor are the researchers that are hired to do the study. What this means for psychiatric drugs in particular is that drug companies will only publish the trials that make their drug look effective and safe despite any greater amount of information that indicates otherwise.

Parental Notification: It's Not Really About 'Choice,' Is it?

GraniteGrok: Parental Notification: It's Not Really About 'Choice,' Is it?

House Bill 329. A law that will require the notification of parents for unemancipated minors prior to the performance of an abortion procedure, will get it's public hearing tomorrow before the Senate Judiciary committee. Most certainly, that public hearing will segue the militant hit-parade decrying this often-called, "anti-choice" legislation.

Planned Parenthood, making quick use of our tax dollars to lobby against this piece of legislation, gives us indicia that should the bill pass the Judiciary and Senate, Planned Parenthood might sue to block its implementation as they did in Alaska. In fact, Planned Parenthood has made concerted efforts all over the Country to block such legislation with various court challenges. Planned Parenthood shows their resolve and that they will not be deterred. In 2005, for example, A Minnesota court ruled that St. Paul Planned Parenthood violated a parental notification law when an abortion was performed on a 17-year-old girl without prior notice to her parents. History instructs us that Planned Parenthood not only actively opposes these laws, but that they are willing to simply disregard them.

Second Video Shows Planned Parenthood-Sex Trafficking Coverup | LifeNews.com

Second Video Shows Planned Parenthood-Sex Trafficking Coverup | LifeNews.com



A second videotape has been released showing a Planned Parenthood abortion business covering up an alleged sex trafficking ring. The first tape showed staffers in New Jersey engaged in the coverup and this one features a clinic in Virginia.

The undercover investigation sponsored by the pro-life group Live Action features the same setup in this second video: a sex ring operator and one of his prostitutes visit the Richmond Planned Parenthood abortion center looking for information about how to obtain abortions for the minor girls they allegedly illegally brought to the United State.

The new Richmond video presents a similar scenario as the New Jersey video. A man posing as a pimp and accompanied by his “bottom girl” seek assistance for getting abortions, STD testing and birth control for girls they “manage” as sex workers, who are from out of the country and as young as 14 to 15 years old.

One again, the sting operation has Planned Parenthood officials willing to bend over backwards to get abortions for the victimized girls and, in this case, bragging about how they can undermine the judicial bypass provision in the Virginia parental notification law to get a judge to approve the secret abortions on the sex slaves.

“But there are also ways, like judicial bypass, that we can get around that if you guys ever need it,” she says of how to get abortions for the 14 and 15-year-old girls they say are here illegally. “There’s a way to avoid that.”

The staffer, Kimberly, tells the undercover investigators: “If someone’s a minor and they don’t want their parents to know – parent’s insurance – so an abortion would show up. You fill out paperwork and we kinda help you set it up and we have a confidential hotline that will call you at whatever number you give us and handle the whole thing. So, for someone who’s a minor, that’s a really good thing. We do ‘em like once or twice a month here. We’re pretty good at handling if someone doesn’t want someone else to know.”

“We’ve kinda got it all,” she brags in the January 12 footage, about what Planned Parenthood can do to help the sex traffickers. The staffer also advises the sex traffickers that they can get abortions later in pregnancy in Maryland and DC if they want the girls they manage to get them.

When the Planned Parenthood staffer is told that the couple manage girls who are sex workers and that, “we gotta keep them safe, ” the staffer appears unconcerned, responding, “Yeah, yeah, of course” and “we see people from every walk of life.”

“For awhile we were treating all the girls at Paper Moon,” a local strip club. “No judgment, no sharing of information, like, uh, nothing here.”

The staffer says the girls, when informed they are not here legally, are welcome to get information and STD testing at Planned Parenthood. She ends the meeting by giving the sex traffickers her card and not appearing to show any concern about their law-breaking activity or that she will report them to law enforcement authorities following their meeting.



Federal law makes it so sexual trafficking of minors is a crime punishable by a 10 year to life prison term. And anyone who aids or abets the crime can be punishable as if they had committed the crime themselves.

Live Action president Lila Rose commented on the new video vootage and the problems at Planned Parenthood abortion centers.

“Planned Parenthood’s problems go far beyond New Jersey. Our new video shows their Richmond clinic willing to aid and abet the sexual exploitation of minors and coaching a pimp about how girls as young as 14 – 15 could circumvent parental consent laws for secret abortions,” she told LifeNews.com. “Watch the video – the clinic worker admits they do this ‘once or twice a month.’ Our investigations of 12 clinics in the past four years show a pattern of Planned Parenthood’s willingness to cover-up the sexual abuse of minors and young women.”

“We are sharing the full Richmond footage and transcripts with Virginia law enforcement officials and we are formally asking Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to conduct a statewide investigation of these heinous practices, just as the New Jersey Attorney General is opening her own investigation into Planned Parenthood’s compliance with the law in her state. Planned Parenthood needs to be held accountable,” Rose continued.

She said the investigation continues to unearth alarming evidence that Planned Parenthood, which receives more than $350 million from the American taxpayer every year, is willing to facilitate the sexual exploitation of minors and young women.

Responding to the video later on Thursday, the national Planned Parenthood abortion business defended the staffer in the footage:

In a recent round of secret videotaping in January 2011, at least four health centers in Virginia received visits in a short period of time from persons claiming to be involved in the sex trade, involving vulnerable minors. Local authorities, as well as federal authorities, were alerted to these visits. In this morning’s publicized tape, the Planned Parenthood staff member reacted professionally to a highly unusual person posing as a patient. After the encounter, the staff member immediately notified her supervisor, who subsequently notified members of Planned Parenthood’s national security team, who are working with the FBI, which is investigating these visits.

The statement also called Rose a a self-described “extremist” but Elisabeth Meinecke of Town Hall notes that quote is taken out of context.

In the New Jersey case, Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey released a statement saying the staff person, Perth Amboy center clinic manager Amy Woodruff, would be let go after the videotape showed her covering up a case of sex trafficking.

“We were profoundly shocked when we viewed the videotape released this morning, which depicted an employee of one of our health centers behaving in a repugnant manner that is inconsistent with our standards of care and is completely unacceptable,” Phyllis Kinsler, executive director of the local affiliate, said a statement.

“We have a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behavior, and the employee in the video was immediately suspended from her duties this morning and was terminated this evening,” Kinsler said. “We are fully committed to delivering high-quality reproductive health care to the women of our communities, complying with all laws, and upholding the highest ethical standards.”

Planned Parenthood officials were reportedly unaware of what Woodruff told the couple involved in the undercover investigation.

The national Planned Parenthood organization had also originally suggested that the undercover video was a “hoax” and an “edited tape” before firing Woodruff. Lila Rose of Live Action responded to that and the firing.

“It appears that Planned Parenthood decided to fire Ms. Woodruff over a ‘hoax.’ Or, maybe they are coming to the realization that they have a serious problem brewing,” Rose stated.

“Soon, we will be releasing more evidence to law enforcement officials and the public showing that Planned Parenthood is willing to aid and abet sexual exploitation of minors and young women. As our research and evidence will show, this is not only a problem for one clinic in New Jersey — it is much broader and more endemic,” Rose said.

“These practices are putting minors and young women in harm’s way — all paid for by the American taxpayer,” Rose concluded.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Paula Dow has asked the Division of Criminal Justice to investigate whether the former Planned Parenthood employee broke any laws in assisting the acting couple with securing abortions for the sex trafficking victims they said they managed.

“At first glance, I find these allegations to be very disturbing,” Dow said in a statement.

Doctors develop simple blood test for detecting a women's propensity for preterm labor

Doctors develop simple blood test for detecting a women's propensity for preterm labor | Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — Melissa Layton carried her first baby full term and delivered her second three weeks early. She was particularly anxious about the third, as doctors couldn't give her a straight answer about how long he'd be inside the womb.

"It was just scary waiting in the unknown," she said. Lucky for her, both early babies came without defect and have gone on to be perfectly healthy children.


While Layton's children turned out fine, many premature babies end up battling medical complications throughout their lives, which is a major risk associated with preterm labor.

Nationally, 1 in 8 babies, or 12 percent, are born prematurely. It is the leading cause of illness and death associated with newborns, according to researchers with locally based Sera Prognostics, which is working to develop a simple blood test that could help to predict preterm births.

New Hampshire Health Department Releases Drug And Alcohol Plan

New Hampshire Health Department Releases Drug And Alcohol Plan

My Comment:
Posted April 18, 2011
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Will the Alcohol and Drug Plan for New Hampshire include discriminating against recovering parent’s, court ordering them out of substance abuse treatment in order to regain custody of their children, as it has in the past? Is Medical methadone detox still non-existent in this state, as it was non-existent in 2006 due to budget cut’s, yet parent’s were still court ordered into these non-existent programs and when they couldn’t fulfill the court order, their children were never returned?
Does this program have anything to do with the failed statewide assessment’s of NH DCYF and is this also the reason DCYF refuses to do anything about mother’s using heroin in the presence of their children, stating they have to follow NH RSA’s? Why weren’t they following them before? Why were they taking children from mother’s in methadone treatment and then forcing them out of treatment to regain custody of their children, but were still never returned?
New Hampshire Health Department Releases Drug And Alcohol Plan
By admin | Published April 17, 2011


The Department of Health and Human Services today joined the Governor\’s Commission on Drug Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment, Dartmouth Medical School and the state\’s alcohol and drug service providers in announcing the Alcohol and Drug Plan for New Hampshire at a press conference today.

Overcoming the Impact of Alcohol and Drug Problems is a collaborative, statewide effort to reduce the impact of substance abuse. The plan represents the first comprehensive effort to coordinate all aspects of groups and individuals working on drug and alcohol prevention and treatment.

"Drug and alcohol abuse lead to many of the health and social issues that we deal with on a daily basis," said DHHS Commissioner John Stephen. "Substance abuse is a driving force in a number of the systems that impact all of us, from healthcare to law enforcement and corrections to mental health, and the cost to the taxpayers is staggering. We needed a plan to address these issues, one that encompasses the recommendations from all areas and walks of life, and that\’s just what this plan does.

The plan incorporates a number of recommendations to coordinate the efforts of State, local, community, religious and education groups, as well as employers to prevent and treat alcohol and drug misuse. The plan also focuses on addressing substance abuse, physical health and mental health in an integrated way and not the disjointed way that often takes place in service delivery today.

"I have been working on the problems associated with substance use for over 30 years and this is the first time that the State as a whole not just a single Department will have a guiding document in tackling substance use problems," added Joe Diament, Chairman of the Governor\’s Commission on Drug Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment. "I am pleased that The Governor\’s Commission played one of the leading roles in developing this Plan because the Commission too is representative of the State as a whole not any one Department."

"This plan represents a step forward in our efforts to address an issue we know is both treatable and preventable, and one that takes many voices to address," remarked Tym Rourke, President of the New Hampshire Alcohol and Drug Service Providers Association. "The youth and families in New Hampshire have been waiting for a way to address the problem of addiction, and with this roadmap we are well on our way."

"Dartmouth Medical School and the Department of Psychiatry have actively participated as a partner in this Substance Abuse Plan Development for the state of NH because it realizes both how serious the substance abuse problem is as well as the fact that there are interventions to address this problem that need to be implemented across the state," stated Paul Gorman, CEO at West Central Services and a member of the Board at Dartmouth Medical School. "Dartmouth Medical School looks forward to working with the other partners in the process of developing a plan of implementation for the state\’s service structure."

Another comment sent to me waiting to be moderated on the above site.

Gee I was under the belief that John Stephen hasn't been DHHS commissioner for approximately the past 5 yrs and that Nic Toumpas has been commissioner since at least 2008. I'm really surprised that John Stepen has been actively working for drug and alcohol programs for the past 30 yrs as I know of a young mother who was a recovering substance abuser back in 2005, during John Stephen's "reign" a DHHS Commissioner, This young mother who was already completely drug free for over 3 months when she was court ordered into a methadone medical detox program by Judge Tenney. There was no such medical methadone detox program in the state of NH at that time, due to state budget cuts, which were enacted Mr John Stephen himself! Gee what a coincidence.....And WHY would a young mother be court ordered into a detox AFTER being completely clean of illegal drugs? This makes no sense, except for the fact that NH DHHS's satellite company known as DCYF used substance abuse as their reason for taking the baby from this young mother 9 months later.....Guess there had to be money to be made and this young mother was the perfect target, eh? It's amazing to think that DCYF, the satellite for profit company of DHHS, would take a child from a mother who had already been drug free for 3 months, and insist that this drug free mom be mandated to use methadone and then she was court ordered to be off methadone treatment 2 to 3 months later which I believe is in violation of methadone treatment and in volaton of this mother's rights....and then this mother has her baby taken away by DCYF because this same mother was given iv morphine during labor and her baby then tested positive for morphine upon birth! Thank you so much John Stephen for helping DCYF to wreck the life of this young mother and her baby! Great job of destroying yet another family...

In September 2007, Child Protective Services removed the boys from their mother’s care, citing neglectful supervision. Although approved by Judge Laura Parker, CPS prevented Hope4KidZ from obtaining the medical and psychiatric testing that responsible parents of children with disabilities obtain, to ensure an accurate diagnosis of physical, mental, environmental lead poisoning, and developmental issues, as presented by minor children, ADB and DLB resulting in the most appropriate treatment.

Family Sues Child Protective Services for Parental Rights Violations

Family Sues Child Protective Services for Parental Rights Violations - Christian Newswire

Contact: Fred and Michelle Dinwiddie, 731-499-7471; Patrick Michael McGraw, Attorney for Plaintiffs, 540-904-5704, patmcgrawlaw@cox.net

ROANOKE, Va., April 18, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- A lawsuit has been filed Virginia Federal Court concerning violations of Parental Rights by a Virginia couple. Fred and Michelle Dinwiddie formerly of Giles County, Virginia have filed the lawsuit against 30 defendants regarding the removal of their children in March of 2008 for allegedly abusing and abandoning their children.

The Dinwiddie's children were removed for 8 months total and placed in foster homes throughout the New River Valley some up to two hours away from they're home. Although the Dinwiddie's were found to be innocent of the charges at tax payer expense the local Department of Social Services chose to keep their children and impose a host of "Community Services" upon the parents and their children in a prolonged effort to keep them separated rather than reunify the family.

Details of the lawsuit show that while the parents were suffering at the hands of authorities, the children were suffering at the hands of social workers, foster parents, therapists, foster care agencies, and even other foster children. In a 36 page document filed in Federal Court the Dinwiddie's assert that the Defendants violated their Constitutional Rights and accuse the defendants of Fraud, Defamation, Tortious Interference with Custodial Rights, Breach of Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Breach of Lawful Duty (Negligence), Breach of Written, Oral, and Implied Contract, Common Law Conspiracy under Virginia Law, and lastly Business Conspiracy.

"Before my children were taken into foster care they were polite and respectful towards each other and ourselves as parents but after their foster care experience we noticed a marked change for the worse regarding their attitude and behavior," said Fred Dinwiddie. "It took a long time for them to readjust and tell us their experiences, fears, and apprehensions related to being in foster care. They had lost respect for us because they felt we couldn't protect them anymore."

Michael Dinwiddie also listed as a Plaintiff in the suit is serving in Afghanistan.

How to Request for a Change of Judge on a Family Law Case | eHow.com

In family law cases, you usually plead your case to a judge, rather than a jury. A family court judge almost always makes the final decision in matters such as custody disputes, alimony, divorce or child welfare. Judges can, over time, show tendencies in the way they rule on certain cases. Because of this, requesting a different judge can sometimes be a good idea.

After the U.S. came in from the West and the Russians from the East, Germany was split. Hitler's top scientists were covertly brought back to the States under an operation known as Paperclip. The U.S. government wanted abstract knowledge from Hitler's scientists for the benefit of the U.S. military and the security of the nation. Another major concern was to capture the Germans from the Soviets who would definitely make use of the German scientists. Many of these scientists studied brainwashing and torture and several were prosecuted as war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials.

Chapter 169-C: Child Protection Act

It also proves substance and alcohol abuse are not included as abuse or neglect, but Nashua DCYF get's around these illegal allegation's by charging a parent with neglect under XIX. b. and get's away with it.

Conn. may consider more foster home options for young children to live with non-relatives

Daily Journal - Conn. may consider more foster home options for young children to live with non-relatives

HARTFORD, Conn. — Child welfare advocates say they're encouraged that Connecticut's state Senate has endorsed a bill expanding the types of foster homes considered for young children.

The bill would remove a restriction that says only children 10 and older can be placed with non-relatives with whom they have close relationships.

Department of Children and Families Commissioner Joette Katz says that can include godparents, previous stepparents and others qualified to house the children. They can be "special study" foster parents for up to 90 days before they must seek a foster home license.

Katz says removing the age limit would provide more foster care options for younger children with people they already know and trust.

The Senate unanimously approved the measure last week and sent it to the House of Representatives to consider.

DEA head: A thousand dead children means we're winning war on drugs - Drugs - Salon.com

Producing and distributing illegal drugs is a profitable business, because there will always be a lot of demand and because illegality allows you to charge a great deal of money. That illegality also means that the people who produce and distribute the drugs are generally not responsible corporate citizens. So thanks to our expensive, terribly ineffective and endless war on drugs, lots of people are dying.

Civil Claim from Abused Child Deemed Legally Invalid by Sac County b/c Filed Too Late

California County News: Civil Claim from Abused Child Deemed Legally Invalid by Sac County b/c Filed Too Late

A boy who suffered severe abuse while kept at a home that was arranged by Sacramento County's Child Protective Services is now suing the county for the treatment he had to endure before he escaped in 2008. It is not clear how much damages are being sought, but so far the county has been dismissive of the litigation by arguing that the civil claim is not legally valid because it was filed too late. Reportedly, a claim must be put forth at least 6 months after the occurrence of an incident. The litigation argues that the county Child Protective Services system did a poor job of tracking the child and there were reports of abuse over a 7 year period.

North Port boy sexually abused in foster homes, lawsuit alleges

North Port boy sexually abused in foster homes, lawsuit alleges | HeraldTribune.com

SARASOTA COUNTY - After moving from one foster home to another, and having twice been sexually abused by other children, the 10-year-old North Port boy wrote a suicide note and held a broken bottle up to his throat.

"I would try to kill myself and tonight I am gonna commit suicide by stabbing myself with a knife because no one care about me," the note said.

The boy did not commit suicide, but now his mother is accusing the foster care system of failing her child, allowing him to be the victim of two child-on-child sexual abuse incidents and providing no mental health treatment until he was driven to two suicide attempts.

The mother's lawsuit filed this month describes how the boy was moved to 11 different homes in 18 months. He stayed five months too long in a temporary foster home. He once wrapped a vacuum cord around his neck in a locked bedroom and got no immediate treatment.

"That he got to the point that he actually tried to kill himself at that age, it's just outrageous," said Sarasota attorney Richard Filson, who represents the mother. "He still has behavioral issues he's getting help for as a result of this."

The suit seeks more than $15,000 in damages from the following defendants: the Sarasota YMCA, Family Preservation Services of Florida, Manatee Children's Services, Florida Mentor Inc., foster parent Harriet Higgs, and the Florida Department of Children and Families.

The boy, now 13, has been reunited with his mother since May 2008. The Herald-Tribune is not naming the mother to protect the identity of her son.

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 169-C:24-a (Lexis, WESTLAW through 1999 Reg. Sess.)

The State, through an authorized agency, or if required by a district court, shall file a petition for termination of parental rights or, if such a petition has been filed by another party, the State shall seek to be joined as a party to such petition, where any one of the following circumstances exist:

Where a child has been an out-of-home placement pursuant to a finding of child neglect or abuse, under the responsibility of the State, for 12 of the most recent 22 months;

Where a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that a child has been abandoned;
Where a court of competent jurisdiction has made any one or more of the following determinations: That the parent has been convicted of murder or manslaughter of another child of the parent; the parent has been convicted of attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit any of the offenses above; or the parent has been convicted of a felony assault that resulted in serious bodily injury to the child or another child of the parent.

The State may not be required to file a petition for termination of parental rights, or seek to be joined as a party to such a petition, if one or more of the following conditions exist:

The child is being appropriately cared for by a relative;

A State agency has documented in the case file a compelling reason for determining that filing a petition for termination of parental rights would not be in the best interests of the child; or

The State has not provided to the family of the child such services and reasonable efforts as the State deems necessary for the safe return of the child to the child's home. In determining whether the State has made reasonable efforts to prevent placement and reunify the family, the district court shall consider whether services to the family have been accessible, available, and appropriate.

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 170-C:5 (Lexis, WESTLAW through N.H. 2003 Legis. Serv., Ch. 79)

The petition may be granted where the court finds that one or more of the following conditions exist:

The parent has abandoned the child. It shall be presumed that the parent intended to abandon the child if the parent left the child without provision for his identification or left the child in the care and custody of another without any provision for his support or without communication from such parent for a period of six months. If, in the opinion of the court, the evidence indicates that such parent has made only minimal efforts to support or communicate with the child, the court may declare the child to be abandoned;

Although the parents are financially able, they have substantially and continuously neglected to provide the child with necessary subsistence, education, or other care necessary for his mental, emotional, or physical health or have substantially and continuously neglected to pay for such subsistence, education, or other care when legal custody is lodged with others. However, it shall not be grounds for the termination of the parent-child relationship for the sole reason that the parent relied upon spiritual means through prayer in accordance with a recognized religious method of healing in lieu of medical treatment for the healing of the child;

The parents, subsequent to a finding of child neglect or abuse, have failed to correct the conditions leading to such a finding within 12 months of the finding, despite reasonable efforts under the direction of the district court to rectify the conditions;

Because of mental deficiency or mental illness, the parent is, and will continue to be, incapable of giving the child proper parental care and protection for a longer period of time than would be wise or prudent to leave the child in an unstable or impermanent environment;

The parent knowingly or willfully caused or permitted another to cause severe sexual, physical, emotional or mental abuse of the child. Subsequent to a finding of such abuse, the parent-child relationship may be terminated if return of the child to the parent would result in a substantial possibility of harm to the child. A substantial possibility of harm to the child shall be established by testimony of at least two of the following factors:

The parent's conduct toward the child has
resulted in severe harm to the child;

The parent's conduct toward the child has continued despite the reasonable efforts of authorized agencies in obtaining or providing services for the parent to reduce or alleviate such conduct;

The parent's conduct has continued to occur either over a period of time, or many times, or to such a degree so as to indicate a pattern of behavior on the part of the parent which indicates a complete disregard for the child's health and welfare;

Such conduct is likely to continue with no change in parental behavior, attitude, or actions.(This is where the DCYF/CPS Psychic's come into play)
Testimony shall be provided by any combination of at least two of the following people: a licensed psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist, a physician, or social worker who possesses a master's degree in social work and is a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers.

If the parent or guardian is, as a result of incarceration for a felony offense, unable to discharge his responsibilities to and for the child, and in addition, has been found to have abused or neglected his child or children, the court may review the conviction of the parent or guardian to determine whether the felony offense is of such nature, and the period of incarceration imposed such duration, that the child would be deprived of proper parental care and left in an unstable or impermanent environment for a longer period of time than would be prudent. Placement of the child in foster care shall not be considered proper parental care and protection. Incarceration, in and of itself, shall not be grounds for termination of parental rights;

The parent has been convicted of one or more of the following offenses: Murder or manslaughter of another child of the parent or of the child's other parent; attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit any of the above offenses; or a felony assault which resulted in serious bodily injury to the child or to another child of the parent, or of the child's other parent.
