Do You Want Your 10 Year Old to Have Sexual & Reproductive Rights?
Do You Want Your 10 Year Old to Have Sexual & Reproductive Rights? | Vision to America
The United Nations is once again trying to underscore Christian and American principles by pushing for worldwide sexual and reproductive rights for youth.
The United Nations Youth Conference taking place this week in New York has set the stage for the Y-PEER statement on sexual rights of youth. Y-PEER, a United Nations Population Fund initiative announced that youth need to have more sexual and reproductive rights including the right to chose (aka – abortion). While the statement does not define or specify an age limit for youth, the standard used by the United Nations in all of its dealings defines them as ages 10-24.

New Jersey School District OKs Random Drug Testing for Middle School Students
New Jersey School District OKs Random Drug Testing for Middle School Students | Conservative Byte
Now here's a sure way to lose your child's trust! School's are to teach your children. Not to drug test them!
A New Jersey school district has signed off on a new policy to allow random drug testing for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students.
The new Belvidere School District program will begin in the fall, with parents choosing whether or not they want their child to participate.
Testing will take place in the nurse’s office, and students who test positive would not be punished or turned over to the police — instead, their parents would be notified and they would be required to attend an early intervention program. Parents would pay for the cost of treatment.

Do Grandparents Have the Rights They Should?
Grandparents Rights and Grandparent Visitation Rights
The experts report on the state of grandparent rights in the U.S. today
by John Bringardner
Richard Kent, a family lawyer at Fairfield, Conn.-based Meyers Breiner & Kent, frequently goes to courtroom battle for grandparents seeking visitation with, or custody of, grandchildren.
"The state of grandparents' rights is terrible," says Kent. Under the current laws, if a couple's adult daughter dies, he says, those grandparents could be denied visitation with their grandchild by the child's father.
Even if they had what most people would consider a classic grandparent-grandchild relationship and, let's say, saw their grandchild every Sunday afternoon. But in the eyes of Connecticut law, says Kent, unless grandparents have functioned as de facto parents — meaning they lived with their grandchildren or took care of them while the parents were at work — they are treated no differently than strangers.

The other Supreme Court decision: It’s a slippery slope from provider to deadbeat
The other Supreme Court decision: It’s a slippery slope from provider to deadbeat - On Parenting - The Washington Post
Many readers weighed in on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on violent video games this week. The controversial ruling that California’s attempt to prohibit renting or selling violent games to minors violated free speech has inspired a spirited debate about parental and industry responsibility.
But the court also issued another ruling this term that will affect millions of families, even if it has received less public attention.
The case is officially called Turner v. Rogers. Unofficially, it was known as the “deadbeat dad” case.
The justices ruled in a 5 to 4 decision (PDF) to uphold the appeal of Michael Turner, a father who had been jailed for a year because he did not — he said could not — pay the nearly $6,000 in child support payments he owed.
The court decided that Turner’s incarceration violated the due process clause because he had not been told that his ability to pay was crucial to the case and the court never determined whether Turner could, in fact, make his child support obligations.

Antipsychotic Drugs Can Harm Kids with Bipolar Disorder
Antipsychotic Drugs Can Harm Kids with Bipolar Disorder
The number of American children diagnosed with bipolar disorder increased 40-fold over the past decade. But now many psychiatrists are backing away from the diagnosis.
Many are worried that thousands of children may have been mistakenly diagnosed with the disorder. Overzealous doctors, quirks in the health insurance system and aggressive marketing by drug companies all contributed to the explosion of bipolar diagnoses.
According to the Star Tribune:
"The profession's about-face could help the next generation of troubled children, but it also raises questions about the harm done to children who shouldn't have received either the diagnosis or the potent drugs used to treat it."

MANCHESTER—
— Local and state officials say they are working to address residents' concerns about safety and a frequent police presence in what had been a quiet neighborhood.
The focus of the concerns is a home for abused and neglected teenage boys run by a contractor for the state Department of Children and Families. Town board of directors member Jay Moran, who lives near the raised ranch at 89 Nutmeg Drive, said residents want some assurance of safety.

New Hampshire should invest in GPS units for DCYF worker's. It would be nice to see them finally get caught visiting friends and God only know's who else when they're supposed to be investigating report's of abuse and neglect! And how about the caseworker's who sit around after railroading a parent at a TPR, who state, "It's too early to go back to work, so I'll just sit around here and pass the time."

Teenage mother found hanged days after discovering her baby had been adopted
AFRA Front Page News: Teenage mother found hanged days after discovering her baby had been adopted
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 3:24 PM on 1st June 2011
Tragic: Annabelle Lee Morris hanged herself when she found out that her son (face blanked) had been adopted A tragic teenage mother's body was found hanged days after she discovered her baby had been adopted by another family.
Annabelle Lee Morris, 19, could not cope with her son being taken into care and then put up for adoption.
Her father, Thomas James Morris, found her in her bedroom on March 18 last year - nine days after she found out that her son had new adoptive parents, York Coroner's Court was told.
The authorities had intervened as she was struggling to look after him herself.
Speaking after the inquest, her cousin, Lorna Dawber, said: 'She adored her son and had she accepted the help when it was there her future would have been completely different. In time she would have got there.
'That was the one thing in life that was hers, she absolutely worshipped him.'
She said Annabelle would not have put her family through that deliberately.
'She was a good soul and she had a good heart,' she said.
The inquest heard that the child was taken into foster care when he was less than a year old.
Annabelle, from York, was still allowed to see him a few times a week, but when a psychologist raised further serious concerns, steps were taken to have the baby adopted.
Although it was arranged for Annabelle to meet mental health workers in 2009, she did not attend an appointment.
She saw her son, then 15 months old, for the final time in January 2010. At the time of her death she was on a doctor's waiting list to see a counsellor.
Prior to the adoption, her social worker, John Corden, said Annabelle was 'ambivalent' about accepting the support offered to her as this would involve 'putting boundaries around her lifestyle'.
But he said that he and other colleagues had been impressed by the 'high quality of interaction' between mother and child and that she had been 'dignified and honest' in her work with social services.
Mr Corden said 'I had frequent discussions with Annabelle about the way the case was going. She never suggested to me that if adoption were the outcome she would harm herself.
'Annabelle was blessed with a warm and benign personality. She could present herself as a well functioning and capable young lady.
'In the fullness of time, that may have been a considerable asset to her.'
Coroner Donald Coverdale recorded an open verdict and said the cause of her death was asphyxia due to hanging.
Noting that she had strong support from a loving family and from social services, he said: 'Miss Morris was a 19-year-old with a number of problems relating back to childhood.
'In recent times she had gone through the trauma of having her child adopted.
'The final meeting with her child had been in January and that time must have been the most difficult of all.
'It seems to me that she had time to reflect on the unhappy course of events culminating in the adoption. My best guess is that what has happened was an impulsive act, it could be described as a cry for help.'

Militants Kidnap and Hang 8-Year-Old Son of Afghan Policeman
Militants Kidnap and Hang 8-Year-Old Son of Afghan Policeman | Care2 Causes
When Mohammad Daoud, an Afghan police officer, received a phone call demanding that he give his police truck to anonymous militants, he didn’t take it very seriously. After all, members of Afghan security forces like Daoud who have access to official vehicles are often the targets of these kinds of threats. When the callers said that they had kidnapped Daoud’s son, he dismissed them as irritating pranksters. Little did he know that his son was indeed missing, and that in retaliation, the militants would strangle the young boy.
“I became angry,” Daoud said, recounting the conversation with the militants. “I used bad words and told him, ‘cut off his head.’ I didn’t think that they would kill my son,” he added. “They claim that they are religious people and wage jihad against evildoers.”

Fathers Claim NH Courts Biased Against Them - New Hampshire News Story
Fathers Claim NH Courts Biased Against Them - New Hampshire News Story - WMUR New Hampshire
CONCORD, N.H. -- It has been an allegation about the family court system for years -- that fathers don't get the same treatment as mothers when it comes to custody cases. But whether that's true depends on who you ask.
Note: I and so many other's waited close to a month for this segment of WMUR to air. Had the real story with interviews been shown, without the threats of WMUR being sued, everyone would have seen just how bias the NH court's really are.
The segment aired by WMUR tried to put the blame on father's.
Father's and mother's alike are getting the shaft, while the court's sit by and make a killing off a families pain, playing one parent against the other.
In many cases the court's are bias against father's. In many cases they're also bias against mother's. Even grandparent's. It seem's to me, whichever parent run's to the court first with tales of abuse, wind's up with custody of the children, whether the report is true or false.
I know of one father who abused his wife after she found out he was cheating on her, after finding another woman's undergarment's under her bed. She confronted him and he punched her in the face, with witnesses watching. The mother was arrested and charged with domestic violence. The father has custody of their child and has never been held in contempt for refusing to let the mother see her child.
Another mother, beaten by her admittedly abusive husband, the husband wind's up with custody after filing a false report with DCYF. I know many other mother's alienated by both DCYF and our illustrous NH judicial system, with the father's never even given the right of custody to their children.
I know of three father's whose right's were never terminated in Nashua, after DCYF took their children from the mother's. Two of the mother's were falsely accused by DCYF and the NH court's, which was proven. The father's of all three of these children were never contacted, while two of the Probate Court Judges both lied in their decision's. All three children have been illegally adopted, after fictitious mens right's were terminated. DCYF and the court's were well aware they weren't the children's father's. But DCYF and the court's figured it was no big deal.
So yes, many of the men in NH are getting the shaft in NH and many women are also. Many of the custody order's made by the NH court's are very unfair.
The entire justice system in NH is nothing but a greedy money making machine. Money made off the pain and suffering of families.
This News segment was nothing worth waiting to see. It was a total flop, full of bias. The NH judicial system's failure will one day be out in the open. With or without the help of WMUR.

False Allegations of Child Abuse

Another Tale of Our Anti-Parent DCFS Establishment
Another Tale of Our Anti-Parent DCFS Establishment : Stop The ACLU: "It is a sad truth that from coast to coast our departments of children and family service (DCFS) agencies are in disarray. All too often they ill serve the children they are supposed to be helping and they almost always step on the rights of parents without much bothering to give a good reading of the situation before action is taken. The travails of 13-year-old Chloe Faulkner is another such story. Taken from her parents, isolated in a world of faceless bureaucrats, used as a cash cow for state aide, abused, repeatedly raped, and eventually impregnated without her loving parents being given a chance to be heard, this tale is another DCFS/State intervention horror story."

fter years of trying to whip Southern California into a frenzy about some kind of Vast Family Preservation Conspiracy, after a failed effort to scapegoat a waiver from federal funding restrictions and, of course, after doing enormous harm to children by setting off a foster-care panic, Los Angeles Times reporter Garrett Therolf finally noticed: According to a Therolf story published on July 18 about an investigation commissioned by the county Board of Supervisors, the real reasons children “known to the system” sometimes die typically are things like buying the wrong computers so workers can’t get the information they need, or not being able to get the best people to work the toughest jobs.

Kansas City - Mid-April - It began as a routine check-up. New parents Calob and Ashly had taken their 2.5-month old baby, Caden, to a weight specialist because he was slightly underweight.

Homeschool, Anti-vaccine Family Ripped Apart by CPS: Chronology of a Kidnapping
Activist Post: Homeschool, Anti-vaccine Family Ripped Apart by CPS: Chronology of a Kidnapping
PASADENA, CA - The case of Jeffrey and Erica Henderson provides a continuation of the critical examination of Child Protective Services in the United States, as well as the legal framework in which CPS operates.
The Hendersons were investigated at their home following an anonymous tip that Mr. Henderson had slapped his daughter. Jeffrey Henderson was arrested on the scene, and their 6 children subsequently put into foster homes. The Hendersons speculate that the call was placed by their landlord, whom they had reported to the Health Department for having dangerous mold issues in their rental. Regardless of who placed the call, it is instructive to look at the chronology of how the system of "protecting children" has responded to this perceived threat to the welfare of six children ranging in age from 10 months to 8 years, all based on one phone call. This story might prove to be a similar cautionary tale as that of citizen spy programs in tyrannical regimes. The Hendersons' story, as well as the wider story of CPS abuse, reveals American society and its values, while questioning whose interests are really being served by removing children from the custody of their own parents.

The Hendersons' story, as well as the wider story of CPS abuse, reveals American society and its values, while questioning whose interests are really being served by removing children from the custody of their own parents.

Men Should Be Allowed to Veto Abortions
Men Should Be Allowed to Veto Abortions - FoxNews.com
The abortion debate has left one issue largely off the table: The proper rights of men to prevent the abortion of their children.
I believe that in those cases in which a man can make a credible claim that he is the father of a developing child in utero, in which he could be a proper custodian of that child, and in which he is willing to take full custody of that child upon its delivery, that the pregnant woman involved should not have the option to abort and should be civilly liable, and possibly criminally liable, for psychological suffering and wrongful death should she proceed to do so.

Rick Perry Pardons CPS Kidnapping
Rick Perry Pardons CPS Kidnapping - Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyer Blog
Texas Governor Rick Perry has opined on the CPS YFZ disaster. What would Mr. Perry have to say to the hundreds of children who were wrongfully taken from their parents?
If responsibility needs to be taken for [court edicts] saying that we stepped across some legal line, I'll certainly take that responsibility," Mr. Perry said. “I am substantially less interested in these fine legal lines that we're discussing than I am about these children's welfare, that's where my focus is. That's where CPS' focus is."
That fine line is the Constitution!

The Real Biederman Scandal
Alliance for Human Research Protection - The Real Biederman Scandal
"One million children have been diagnosed with this new and controversial diagnosis – “childhood bipolar.” And one million children are being treated for “childhood bipolar” disorder and more and more at younger and younger ages."
After the AHRP Infomail about the ever so gentle rebuke meted out to Drs. Joseph Biederman, Thomas Spencer and Timothy Wilens by Harvard University-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, we received an essay (posted below) from Jacob Azerrad, PhD, a clinical psychologist.
Dr. Azerrad notes--and we wholeheartedly agree:
" The real scandal perpetrated by Biederman has nothing to do with his consulting fee shenanigans and everything to do with the real life (and death) consequences of the methods now used by modern pediatric psychiatry to tag normal childhood behaviors with diagnoses – like “childhood bipolar” -- and the pediatric medical profession’s complicit acquiescence to such malarkey. It has been nothing short an epic assault on our children by those who prescribe antipsychotic medications as an antidote to normal childhood behavior."

Foster care is and should be a last resort. It is an option used only after a child's biological parents cannot properly care for him or her and adult relatives are unavailable.
Note:Who are they trying to kid? Foster care is the first and ONLY resort in today's world. CPS wouldn't have it any other way.They depend too much on the Federal $$$$$$ for every child they steal!

New Hampshire Adoption
The Rights of Unmarried Fathers

Legal Definition of 'Father'
Rev. Stat. § 170-B:2
The term 'birth father' means a person or persons other than a legal father who has been named, pursuant to § 170-B:6, as the father of the child, or who is the subject of a pending paternity action, or who has filed an unrevoked notice of intent to claim paternity of the child pursuant to § 170-B:6.
The term 'legal father' means:
The person designated as the father pursuant to § 5-C:24 on that child's birth certificate
The person designated as the father pursuant to a court order resulting from a paternity action
The person designated as the father upon legitimation pursuant to § 457:42
The person who was determined by the court to be married to the birth mother at the time of conception, birth, or any time between conception and birth
Paternity Registry
Rev. Stat. § 170-B:6
A person who claims to be the father and who has registered his claim of paternity with the Office of Child Support Services in what shall be known as the New Hampshire Putative Father Registry or in the putative father registry of the State where the child was born shall be given notice by the court of an adoption and shall have the right to request a hearing to prove paternity.
The registration form filed with the appropriate putative father registry may be filed prior to the birth of the child but shall be filed prior to the birth mother's parental rights being surrendered or involuntarily terminated. Failure to register with the appropriate putative father registry prior to this time shall bar the alleged father from thereafter bringing an action to establish his paternity of the child and shall constitute an abandonment of said child and a waiver of any right to a notice of hearing in any adoption proceeding concerning the child.
Any person entitled to notice from the court shall have 30 days from the date of the court's notice to request a hearing at which he shall have the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that he is the legal or birth father of the child. The failure to request such hearing within 30 days from the date of the court's notice shall result in a forfeiture of all parental rights and any right to notice by the court of any adoption proceedings concerning the child.
Note: And what happen's when the father is NEVER notified? Don't think it doesn't happen, because it definitely DOES happen in New Hampshire! New Hampshire Court's are known for terminating fictitious mens right's to make adoption that much quicker, even when ALL paperwork has been filed by the father on the day of his child's birth. New Hampshire DCYF and the Court's Never bother to even try to contact the REAL father. They just terminate someones right's with the same name or a fake name! Then comes the ILLEGAL adoption! Be warned. NH DCYF and the court's believe they have the Power of God!

Once the completed rescission of paternity form is filed, the clerk of the town or city shall remove the name of the father from the birth record and insert 'not stated' in the space provided for the father's name or, if the original birth record was filed prior to the completion of an affidavit of paternity, change the child's name on the birth record back to the name stated on the original record before the affidavit of paternity was filed.

Texas (M.D. v. Perry) — Children’s Rights
Citing longstanding and pervasive issues that have caused thousands of children in Texas foster care to spend their childhoods in poorly supervised institutions and repeatedly move from one far-flung place to another, Children’s Rights has joined the prominent Texas law firms Haynes and Boone LLP, Yetter Coleman, and Canales & Simonson in filing a class action in federal court seeking widespread reform on behalf of approximately 12,000 abused and neglected children in long-term foster care statewide.
The lawsuit (PDF), known as M.D. v. Perry, charges Texas’s Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) with violating the constitutional rights of children who have been in foster care for at least a year by routinely failing to either return them safely to their families or find them safe, appropriate, and permanent new families — and therefore failing to meet its legal obligation to ensure the safety, permanency, and well-being of all children in its custody.

Harvard Psychiatrists Disciplined for Conflicts of Interest
Harvard Psychiatrists Disciplined for Conflicts of Interest « Fight Corrupted Family Courts and CPS
The primary promoters–inventors, one might say– of diagnosing children with “bipolar” disorder, who for over a decade, aggressively promoted the biopolar diagnosis and use of antipsychotics in children, were disciplined by Harvard University and its affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.
An investigation, prompted by Sen. Charles Grassely, was conducted by Harvard University-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. It concluded (earlier this month) that psychiatrist Joseph Biederman and two of his proteges, Thomas Spencer and Timothy Wilens -each of who failed to disclose millions of dollars they had each received from the makers of antipsychotics, the drugs they promoted for the treatment of bipolar in children–had indeed violated the University’s/ and hospital’s conflict of interest reporting standards.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A lawsuit alleging that foster children in Rhode Island are routinely neglected and at risk of harm while in state custody may go forward, a federal judge has ruled.
The class-action lawsuit filed by the national watchdog group Children's Rights says the state's foster care system is plagued by widespread, systemic problems that leave children's needs unmet and put youth at risk of emotional and physical harm.

Public Law 105-89-TITLE I--REASONABLE EFFORTS-Do Not Exist In New Hampshire!
Public Law 105-89
TITLE I--REASONABLE EFFORTS AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION PLACEMENTS
SEC. 101. CLARIFICATION OF THE REASONABLE EFFORTS REQUIREMENT.
(a) In General.--Section 471(a)(15) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 671(a)(15)) is amended to read as follows:
"(15) provides that--
"(A) in determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect to a child, as described in this paragraph, and in making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the paramount concern; "(B) except as provided in subparagraph (D), reasonable efforts shall be made to preserve and reunify families--
"(i) prior to the placement of a child in foster care, to prevent or eliminate the need for removing the child from the child's home; and "(ii) to make it possible for a child to safely return to the child's home;
This section is a joke in itself. When are children ever left in their homes with services? NEVER! Family Preservation is non-existent in NH!

"(i) prior to the placement of a child in foster care, to prevent or eliminate the need for removing the child from the child's home; and "(ii) to make it possible for a child to safely return to the child's home;

Cosleeping Is Fine For A Child's Development and Behavior
Cosleeping Is Fine For A Child's Development and Behavior | Care2 Causes
It can be a very emotional issue if you choose to debate it: Whether to go to sleep with your children in your bed or whether to make them sleep in their own rooms. You’ll find plenty of parents on both sides of the argument, and plenty of parents on both sides of the sleep situation — and the bed — whether they planned to be in that situation or not (case in point: I coslept with my daughter for over a year until she simply started sleeping through the night in her crib). For those who are against cosleeping, it seemed for years that there was plenty of evidence on their side to back up their claims that it was harmful: Bad for sleep habits, bad for the child’s emotional development, just plain bad.

THE PRICE OF PANIC, FLORIDA, 2011
By Richard Wexler, NCCPR Executive Director
Released April 26, 2011
The chart on page 4 shows the extent to which the outcry over the Barahona case has terrified
Florida DCF workers into tearing apart more families and throwing far more children into foster
care.
It is, of course, a foster/adoptive parent who is accused of killing Nubia Barahona and almost
killing her brother. By placing more children at risk of abuse in foster care itself, and by
overloading the system so more children in real danger are more likely to be missed, the
response to the death of Nubia Barahona is making the next such death more likely.

Edited-NHFAPA.org Shut Down it's New Hampshire Web-site-It's back up!
Last night, while doing more research, I found NHFAPA.org no longer has their web-site. At first I figured they just didn't pay to keep it going. After thinking about it a little longer, I have come to the conclusion that NH DCYF shut it down due to my post last month which can be seen HERE .I surmise they didn't like me alerting everyone as to the illegal adoption's of their stolen children and who the highest bidder's were! As DCYF would say, "Oh well. No big deal." I guess my tenacity is getting to them! Oh well! There's more where that came from!
The NHFAPA.org web-site is back up
I guess they were too busy stealing kids and forget to pay their bill!

A newspaper by Chicago public housing residents helps reverse unpopular policies.
In 2010, the Chicago Housing Authority tried to require residents to turn over their kids’ report cards as a condition of tenancy, saying they were doing it to assess for “potential need for services.” Then in 2011, the Chicago Housing Authority wanted to require that all residents, including thousands of seniors, undergo drug testing as a way to fight crime in public housing. If anyone in the household tested positive, the Housing Authority could begin eviction proceedings. Luckily, residents of public housing in Chicago have a voice through Residents' Journal, a publication written by and for residents of the Chicago Housing Authority as well as low-income residents of the city of Chicago at large. Ultimately, residents were successful in having those policies thrown out.

Improperly used Medicaid Funds - No surprise here.
The Truth Bites "NH"
On May 16, 2011; you were forwarned about the corruption in New Hamsphire's choices of commissioners and the fact that a federal audit showed medicaid funds were improperly used in 2004; the truth does bite ... but the current commissioner Toumpas is glazing it over, so I guess if you live in NH you can just look at it as .... a 7 year interest free loan for what exactly Toumpas probably knows since he was under Stephens when he did it.
How much will DHHS lay on the tax payers when the federal audits catch up with them on the fraud in the division of Children, Youth and Families. Records and NH RSA 169:C show that the Childrens Trust Fund set up for children in the foster care system at age 18; is now a non-profit with diverse interests and money layering.
Funding for state aid to children is being redirected and not one child since 1986 who has left the foster care system has received the stipend due them when they turn 18 to help them get on with their lives...
Just look at it as another interest free loan I guess and oh those state taxes are coming closer and closer ........

Improperly used Medicaid funds to cost NH $35 million
Improperly used Medicaid funds to cost NH $35 million | New Hampshire NEWS06
Federal officials have decided that New Hampshire must repay $35 million in Medicaid funds that were improperly used in 2004, state health officials said yesterday.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas said the state will ask for reconsideration of the decision, but in the meantime he will work with the Legislature and prepare a contingency plan.
If the Fed's dig a little deeper, 35 million in payback for New Hampshire will just be a drop in the bucket!
Note: Isn't it also Medicaid fraud when a hospital keep's a newborn in the hospital for a month and feed's the baby morphine when the baby doesn't have withdrawl symptom's? After the baby has already been evaluated to be discharged with a clean bill of health? Only in NH!

Virginia father loses bid to overturn his daughter’s Utah adoption | The Salt Lake Tribune
The Utah Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a Virginia father’s appeal to overturn the adoption of his daughter, a child known as “Baby Emma,” finding he did not meet required deadlines for asserting his parental rights.
Note:All states are the same. New Hampshire terminates fictitious men's right's and when the father's finally find out their children are in state custody, their told they have no standing and are denied paternity testing. Even father's on the children's birth certificates get screwed over. The court's never contact them and illegally adopt out the children!

Posing as Russian drug smugglers who drive an exotic, $800,000 sports car and hire out their underage sister as a prostitute, O'Keefe's operatives reportedly applied for Medicaid assistance for their father with the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services, where government employee Traci Daniels told the applicants to omit listing their expensive car as an asset and report their line of work as "babysitting."
