DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

Unversal Declaration of Human Rights:

DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD Adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution 1386 (XIV) of 10 December 1959
WHEREAS the peoples of the United Nations have, in the Charter, reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights and in the dignity and worth of the human person, and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,    WHEREAS the United Nations has, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status,    WHEREAS the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth,    WHEREAS the need for such special safeguards has been stated in the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1924, and recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the statutes of specialized agencies and international organizations concerned with the welfare of children,    WHEREAS mankind owes to the child the best it has to give,    Now, therefore,  Proclaims    THIS DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD to the end that he may have a happy childhood and enjoy for his own good and for the good of society the rights and freedoms herein set forth, and calls upon parents, upon men and women as individuals, and upon voluntary organizations, local authorities and national Governments to recognize these rights and strive for their observance by legislative and other measures progressively taken in accordance with the following principles: 1   The child shall enjoy all the rights set forth in this Declaration. Every child, without any exception whatsoever, shall be entitled to these rights, without distinction or discrimination on account of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, whether of himself or of his family. 2   The child shall enjoy special protection, and shall be given opportunities and facilities, by law and by other means, to enable him to develop physically, mentally, morally, spiritually and socially in a healthy and normal manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity. In the enactment of laws for this purpose, the best interests of the child shall be the paramount consideration. 3   The child shall be entitled from his birth to a name and a nationality. 4   The child shall enjoy the benefits of social security. He shall be entitled to grow and develop in health; to this end, special care and protection shall be provided both to him and to his mother, including adequate pre-natal and post-natal care. The child shall have the right to adequate nutrition, housing, recreation and medical services. 5   The child who is physically, mentally or socially handicapped shall be given the special treatment, education and care required by his particular condition. 6   The child, for the full and harmonious development of his personality, needs love and understanding. He shall, wherever possible, grow up in the care and under the responsibility of his parents, and, in any case, in an atmosphere of affection and of moral and material security; a child of tender years shall not, save in exceptional circumstances, be separated from his mother. Society and the public authorities shall have the duty to extend particular care to children without a family and to those without adequate means of support. Payment of State and other assistance towards the maintenance of children of large families is desirable. 7   The child is entitled to receive education, which shall be free and compulsory, at least in the elementary stages. He shall be given an education which will promote his general culture and enable him, on a basis of equal opportunity, to develop his abilities, his individual judgement, and his sense of moral and social responsibility, and to become a useful member of society.   The best interests of the child shall be the guiding principle of those responsible for his education and guidance; that responsibility lies in the first place with his parents.   The child shall have full opportunity for play and recreation, which should be directed to the same purposes as education; society and the public authorities shall endeavour to promote the enjoyment of this right. 8   The child shall in all circumstances be among the first to receive protection and relief. 9   The child shall be protected against all forms of neglect, cruelty and exploitation. He shall not be the subject of traffic, in any form.   The child shall not be admitted to employment before an appropriate minimum age; he shall in no case be caused or permitted to engage in any occupation or employment which would prejudice his health or education, or interfere with his physical, mental or moral development. 10   The child shall be protected from practices which may foster racial, religious and any other form of discrimination. He shall be brought up in a spirit of understanding, tolerance, friendship among peoples, peace and universal brotherhood, and in full consciousness that his energy and talents should be devoted to the service of his fellow men. http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/humanrights/resources/child.asp

Child Protective Services: A system in trouble

Child Protective Services: A system in trouble:

The best way to reduce child abuse and neglect and keep children safe is to help their families remain stable, experts say. That has become more of a challenge since the economy tumbled.

Faced with budget deficits, Arizona lawmakers over the past four years balanced the state's budget in part by cutting more than $300 million from programs that support struggling families, from substance-abuse treatment to housing to child-care assistance.

Legislators who voted for the cuts say the budget deficits forced them to make difficult choices. At the same time, they say caring for children is the job of families, churches and communities, not government.

In 2009, the Cheshire Superior Court issued an order denying Dr. Vandenberg ALL contact with his daughter because he was praying with her, reading the Bible, and taking her to church. These are all standard practices of Christians. Dr. Vandenberg was simply attempting the free exercise of his faith, when all of a sudden, the godless guardian ad litem, court, and adversaries decided to make false allegations of events that never even happened!

(CBS/AP)

NEW YORK - A son of Robert F. Kennedy is facing misdemeanor charges after he struggled with nurses who tried to stop him from carrying his newborn son out of the maternity ward at a hospital near New York City.

Sounds like the tactics of of a Nashua Hospital's staff. A Dr. spoke up for the mother at that hospital also, but the staff still continued to harass her and reported her to DCYF for abuse and neglect. The charges should have been made against the staff. Not the mother.

The Baby P Effect and Social Services

Is This Retaliation Against A Mother Fighting Domestic Violence and For Custody of Her Child

A Mother, in the vicinity of Broad St./Nashua Mall area today, was interrupted by her door bell around 2:20 PM. She ran to the door to find this brown paper bag with a note on the outside, stating it was from a secret admirer. Inside was dog do. A call to the Nashua Police proved futile. A neighbor reported seeing two young boy's, around 11 or 12 year's old walking up and down the street with the brown bag.
Could this have been in retaliation of the Mother's fighting Domestic Violence  and custody dispute with her ex-husband, or maybe even her lawsuit against the state of NH? Were the two young boy's paid off, bribed to harass the mother?
If anyone has any idea who these boy's are or who put them up to this please e-mail me.

In the US, Judges and Lawyers swear oaths to each other, invalidating the US Constitution. The secret societies, even the Free Masons, legislate abuse. Courts are to rip off houses, break up families, and railroad "Big Mouths" to prison. If there is enough abuse, the elites call it, "Mud People Reduction". [More info]

Either all courts are equal for all, no matter what, or they aren't. Taxation without representation is a crime. These criminals want to bomb Iran. International corporations and banks own America. They want to bomb us in America with their unmanned drones as much as they want to bomb Iran. Elected officials are getting that arrogant. They have chosen which side they are on ... traitors!

Sen. Pam Roach to hold news conference and hearing regarding Powell case
Press Release:


"Everyone in the room will have a story to tell. We are going to ask them, in short comments, what changes should be made in the way the department does business,” said Roach.

Hey CPS I've got some good ideas for your "business": 

1) Start by using ETHICS! Yes that's right, I said ETHICS.  Every "Business" should use business ethics.  If you don't know what that word ETHICS means, and you sure act like you haven't the slightest clue, then put some of those Title IV funds to good use to buy a dictionary and look up the word ETHICS because it's something that your "business" doesn't have and definitely needs!  

2) Stop FALSIFYING documents.  Your "business employees" shouldn't alter the truth in order to rip children from their homes,

3) Be ACCOUNTABLE for your actions.  There's nothing worse than a bunch of "business" people with overgrown egos who are delusional enough to believe that they're gods while proving they have the poorest judgement with the most twisted perception of reality.  But then again, I can't imagine any of your business employees having an accurate perception of reality while having their heads stuck so far up their asses that they just can't see properly!  

4) Immunity should never apply to criminals!  Those who break the law, including your "business employees'' MUST BE HELD LIABLE for their actions.  NOPE, you're not above judges, you're not above God,.and therefore you're not above the law either.  So, if you want to act low, then you'd better like the taste of dirt, because that's what you're going to be eating!

5) STOP STEALING CHILDREN FROM THEIR FAMILIES!  You're supposed to be in the "business" of providing helping "services" to the same families that you're stealing from.  See #4 you criminals!  Car thieves do time.  Bank robbers do time.   Those of you who steal children for money are nothing more than glorified kidnappers, and you're going to be held liable for kidnapping.  Those families you steal children from are going to sue your asses, and so will those thousands of children that you kidnapped.  Someday you'll realize that Payback's a real bitch after all.....Isn't it!

6) "IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN".....Well, read #5: STEALING CHILDREN IS NOT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST!  Children have families for a reason: and that reason is NOT so your "business employees" can steal children from their families for money.  It's in the best interest of the children to remain with their families.  Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Cousins, etc are there to take care of their families when the parents can't, so enough of the horse-shit about needing "foster families."  The only thing your "business" has been fostering is a legal baby black market scam that causes children to wonder why they've been stolen from their families, placed in a stranger's home and who their family is and what they did wrong to lose their own family.  If that's not confusing enough, then these kids are left out in the street because those federally funded Title IV bounties for these kids cease upon the child becoming an adult at age 18.....OK, now it's time for over 3/4 of those young adults to become criminals, and it's all because of the experience they've had with CHILD PROTECTIVE (OXYMORON) SERVICES!

7) TITLE IV FUNDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE USED TO HELP CHILDREN, NOT TO REMOVE CHILDREN FROM THEIR HOMES!  You can't take a child from their family and "make" a new family. Children are not "play-dough" and therefore you can't "mold them" into a "new family."  You can't "create" families.  The only thing your business people "create" is HELL for the children and families that you're supposed to be giving "services" to.  Your services are just about as helpful as helping someone over a cliff.....NOBODY needs that kind of "help!"  Your "business employees" need to stop harming children and families.  If you can't offer proper helpful services to people, then maybe you need to stop being in the "people business."  Here are some other suggestions that your "business" could be doing that would be much more helpful to the public:  Peeling potatoes, making license plates, sweeping the trash off the highways. and other forms of "community service."
