    Is NH Guilty of Taking Children From Disabled Parents?

    Recently there have been articles popping up all over the Internet regarding bias by CPS/DCYF and the Court's removing children from disabled parent's. Is NH one of these states? Your dam right it is!

    According to the ADA: http://www.jaapl.org/content/30/3/355.full.pdf
    On July 26, 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was intended as
    a broad, national, civil rights–oriented mandate “for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with
    disabilities,” both physical and mental. ADA protection is extended, in limited form, to those with addiction
    disorders. However, many addicted individuals are denied ADA protection because of exclusionary criteria in the
    ADA itself and because of increasingly restrictive interpretations of the ADA in recent cases. The benefit to the
    addicted persons, and to the larger society, is lost when unfair discriminatory practices preclude employment of
    otherwise qualified, though stigmatized, individuals. The ADA currently falls short, in many respects, of preventing
    such discrimination against those with addictions.

    Persons with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence are protected,
    but those with drug dependence are protected only if they are
    in treatment or have completed a treatment program, and are
    not “currently” using illegal drugs    


    Note: So according to ADA guidelines, doesn't that make it ILLEGAL to steal a child from a recovering addict? An addict forced out of treatment by the Court?
     According to SAMSHA guidelines, this is illegal also:
    See:
    http://pfr.samhsa.gov/docs/Know_Your_Rights_Brochure_0110.pdf


    Child Welfare System.  May judges, prosecuting attorneys, and others in the child 
    welfare system require parents to end their participation in MAT in order to get their 
    children back or to keep their children?
    No.  Courts and other government agencies may not single out people in MAT 
    and require them to stop taking legally prescribed medications.  Such a 
    requirement would be no different than telling an insulin-dependent, diabetic 
    parent that she may not have her children back unless she stops taking insulin 
    and addresses her diabetes through nutrition and exercise alone.  Courts may, 
    however, require people in MAT to comply with treatment requirements. 


    NH is not only guilty of taking children from recovering addicts and alcohol dependent parents, but they are also guilty of taking children from parents with physical and mental disabilities. 
    So why does NH DCYF and the Family Courts continue to Steal children from disabled parents? 
    Why do they continue to receive Title IV funding for these illegally stolen children?
    Do the ADA guidelines mean nothing? Evidently Not! Not in NH any way!

    Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children

    DMVC Productions = Results: Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children:

    This is America right? The land of equal rights, however what you believe to be equal rights must be questioned when things like the following occur and when reviewing these points keep in mind what Galileo once said "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them."

     First you have to wonder what the hell is going on when the President of the United States assigns a committee to look into how parents with disabilities and their children are being treated. See their full report here it isn't pretty Rocking-the-Cradle-Ensuring-the-Rights-of-Parents-with-Disabilities-and-Their-Children Parents with even minimal disabilities are having their children stripped from their care without valid reasoning.

    On top of it in NH every single parent is at a disadvantage because the Supreme Ct. has decided it will no longer even give them the lack lustrous lawyers it once did; these parent's disability stems from not understanding the legal system and while behind closed doors they are deprived by overzealous social workers and dysfunctional Judges who togehter are destroying the American Family.

    Addiction and the Americans with Disabilities Act


    Addiction and the Americans with Disabilities Act

    On July 26, 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was intended as

    disabilities,” both physical and mental. ADA protection is extended, in limited form, to those with addiction

    Such cases are found nationwide, according to a new report by the National Council on Disability, an independent federal agency. The 445-page document is viewed by the disability-rights community as by far the most comprehensive ever on the topic — simultaneously an encyclopedic accounting of the status quo and an emotional plea for change.

    The Manufacturing of Public Support For CPS

    Legally Kidnapped: The Manufacturing of Public Support For CPS:

    Thank you LK for this extremely eye opening view of the REAL CPS/DCYF!


    If you scroll down, you will see that I just posted these two videos.  However, it
    would be wise to read this entire post before watching them.  For those of you
     who have already watched them, oh well.

    http://legallykidnapped.blogspot.com/2012/11/failed-to-death-flaws-with-child-welfare.html
    and
    http://legallykidnapped.blogspot.com/2012/11/social-services-called-11-times-before.html

    Now before some System Suck gets their panties in a bunch over all of these
     kids,which of course would be the natural reaction for the normal people who sit 
    watching such videos instead of, oh for example, letting these kids rest in peace.
     I gotta warn you...

    This is nothing but propaganda aimed at manufacturing public support for CPS to
     get more money, more power, more workers, more training, more foster parent 
    recruitment efforts going to make room for all the new kids they're going to snatch 
    at a much quicker pace andbla bla bla.   It's called social conditioning.

    Notice how they're is no mention of the fraud.  Notice how there is no mention of the
    corrupt workers, judges or service providers who are already making a healthy living 
    off of the kids who were stolen protected.  Then there's no mention whatsoever of what
    ultimately happens to the kids who are snatched away rescued, except on National 
    Adoption Day when all of the new happy families are created and the system is 
    glorified thanks to all the success stories.

    Instead CPS is being portrayed as incompetent  or irresponsible, because they
    failed to protect a few kids.  Then, as the investigation continues they'll find that the 
    workers are  overwhelmed, overworked, have heavy caseloads, can't keep up with all of
     the families that they're juggling, etc. Workers will take a verbal beating for a little while.  
    A few will get shuffled around and a couple might even get fired, just to make the agency 
    look like it's doing something about it.

    You also gotta remember that the normal people who watch this crap, and who have
    yet to experience the pleasures of a social worker crawling up their ass generally
    don't understand what really goes on in the system or how these people operate.  
    They're sold on these gut wrenching news reports about dead kids and taught to
    believe that CPS needs to move faster in all cases in order to protect kids.  If they
    can pull on a heart string, they got you hooked in. A few of them will even be moved
    to action.  They'll call their state legislators or even attend a small local protest 
    demanding that CPS do more to protect these kids.  The'll hire more CPS Agents.  
    They'll recruit more foster parents.  You'll hear things like "when in doubt take them out" 
    and "err or the side of protecting children."

    In other words, they use your emotion to lock you into the story,  then fill your heads
    with bullshit.
    And thus we have the manufacturing of public support for CPS.

    10 Things To Remember If A Social Worker Comes To Your Home

    10 Things To Remember If A Social Worker Comes To Your Home | It's Almost Tuesday:


    1. Ask for the social workers business card. Have your attorney contact the worker on your behalf if the situation is hostile.
    2. Find out the allegations before allowing the social worker access to your home or child.
    3. Do not waive your rights to be protected from illegal search and seizures by allowing anyone in your home without a court order or warrant.
    These rights are guaranteed under the 4th amendment of the US CONSTITUTION.

    4. Insist on being present when your child is interviewed
     by the social worker.
    5. Tell the social worker you will call them after consulting an attorney. Then call an attorney.
    6. Ignore intimidations. Social workers are trained bluffers.
    7. Offer supportive evidence-
    ~A dr.’s statement after exam of child.
    ~References from individuals vouching for your good parenting.~Photos or home videos exhibiting happy healthy children.
    8. Bring a tape recorder or credible witnesses to all meetings. Limit discussions to allegations and try not to tell past family events beyond what they already know.
    What you say can and will be used against you.
    9. Avoid potential situations likely to lead to cps investigations-
    do not 
    ~spank in public
    ~do not leave children home alone
    ~do not spank other people’s children.
    10. Pray and elicit prayers and support of local church members.

    “The Government’s interest in the welfare of children embraces not only protecting children from physical abuse but protecting childrens’ interest in the privacy and dignity of their homes and in the lawfully exercised authority of their parents.” Calabretta v. Floyd 189 F.3d (9th cir 1999)

    Family Values vs. Valuing Families

    Jennifer Chrisler: Family Values vs. Valuing Families:

    November is National Adoption Awareness Month. Now, with the election behind us, it is time for us to stop focusing on the political rhetoric of family values and work towards laws and policies that truly value families -- especially those created through adoption.

    NOTE:

    "Now, with the election behind us, it is time for us to stop focusing on the political rhetoric of family values and work towards laws and policies that truly value families -- especially those created through adoption."
    This is the problem. Politicians should be working toward laws and policies that truly value BIOLOGICAL families. Family preservation, Not those created through adoption. More emphasis needs to be on keeping families together. Not tearing them apart!

    Rise Magazine - By and For Parents in the Child Welfare System:

    Under federal law, parents typically have only 15 months to prove that they can safely reunify with their children. For parents struggling with addiction, that’s a short time to break the cycle of relapse and recovery. Yet research shows that children in foster care do better when they have parents or other biological family members in their lives. Here, LaShanda Taylor, associate professor of law at the University of the District of Columbia’s David A. Clarke School of Law, describes how some states are making it easier for parents and children to stay connected despite termination of parental rights (TPR).
