OPERATION PAUL REVERE "UNCLE SAM'S KIDS, GENERATION
Shaymus Crow’s film is an excellent overview of the treacherous acts committed by the government funded program known as Child Protective Services (CPS).
Social welfare-agencies have been allowed the right to remove neglected and abused children from the care of their families since the early 1800s.
A report by John E.B. Meyers describes the birth of the first governmental agency supposedly created to protect children. The agency, born in New York in 1875 was called the New York Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC).

America’s Foster Care System: Test Lab For Big Pharma, Cash Cow For Caretakers?:
Hours after Texas Child Protective Services removed 5-year-old Tristen from the care of his mother and placed him in a foster home, Tristen’s foster parents took him to see a psychiatrist, citing concerns the young boy was depressed. That day, a psychiatrist prescribed Tristen three medications: one for anger, one for depression and one to help the 5-year-old relax.

What The Adoption and Safe Families Act Means To the Families of America
What The Adoption and Safe Families Act Means To the Families of America
In 1997, President Clinton passed the Adoption and Safe Families Act, which was intended
to “promote the adoption of children in foster care.”
In doing so, good ole President Clinton put a huge price tag on the heads of American children, though well intended, this Act has literally torn apart thousands and thousands of innocent families.
President Clinton's intent was to find adoptive homes for ABUSED children taken from their families and placed in Foster care. ABUSED children who are NOT safe in their own homes. ABUSED children without other relatives willing and able to raise them. Abused children with nowhere else to go.
Federal mandates were put into place when this Act was established to make sure families were not torn apart needlessly. To make sure children were placed with relatives when their homes weren't safe. It was a way to provide CPS/DCYF with incentive money for doing a good job. For finding homes for children who needed them.
As we are all aware, the intent of The Adoption and Safe Families Act has been totally abused by the people who are supposed to be "protecting" our most precious God given gift, our children.
Vice President Mondale stated this Act could very well be abused and he was right. It has been abused since the day it went into effect. Children are being removed at alarming rates throughout our Country. For every child taken and placed in Foster care, CPS/DCYF are rewarded. Children are taken for the most frivolous reasons. Parent's and families are lied about, CPS worker's perjure themselves, Hearsay without proof of abuse is used in these cases, though it's supposed to be illegal and Family Court Judges ALWAYS take the word of CPS/DCYF over the family.
The majority of the children taken and placed in Foster care have never been abused or neglected, while many abused children remain in their homes suffering.
Unabused Children are then adopted out. CPS/DCYF receive even more blood money for each of these children, even after innocence is proven. Fictitious father's lose the rights to their children, making it all the easier to adopt them out, while the Judges are well aware the REAL Fathers rights have never been terminated. The children are adopted out ILLEGALLY!
Why doesn't our Government have a clue? CPS/DCYF and the Family Courts are obtaining Title IV blood money FRAUDULENTLY! What don't they get? Our children are Not For Sale!
Put an end to The Adoption and Safe Families Act. Our children belong with their REAL Families. The Families railroaded by CPS/DCYF and the Family Courts!

A representative for the family involved in the case is demanding an investigation and has taken his complaint to the Scottish Government.

Audit called for Child Protective Services: America’s fourth scandal
Audit called for Child Protective Services: America’s fourth scandal - Hi-Desert Star: Letters To Editor:
With today’s serious government scandals being brought to light, there remains one that has eluded the national attention under the premise of protecting children.
It has recently been spotlighted again in the Hi-Desert Star’s May 15 article, “Lawmaker calls for audit of Child Services” and channel 11’s continued series of “System of Lies,” which aired May 15.
The latter reference documented a lawsuit against Orange County’s Child Protective Services, while more lawsuits continue to pile up.
It’s chilling to hear that when social workers are caught in lies and perjury, the punishment, according to Orange County’s director, is absolutely nothing! After attorney Shawn McMillan of San Diego won Deanna Fogherty-Hardwick’s case against Orange County CPS, the director refused to admit any wrongdoing. In reply to the Supreme Court’s decision on the matter, he stated, “That’s their opinion.” This response exemplifies an agency that has little or no accountability, which does not inspire public trust or confidence.
Hundreds of billions of our tax dollars are at work paying for:
1. A child’s “removal” (often unnecessary and unwarranted);
2. “Services” required to keep the child in foster care;
3. Group homes (up to $8,500 per month per child);
4. Contracted service providers for the parent(s) to earn the right to remain a parent(s);
5. Personnel positions (receptionists, caseworkers, supervisors, transporters, court clerks, transcribers, judges, etc.);
6. Adoption bonuses the department earns for going above the previous year’s quota;
7. Psychotropic drugs “needed” for children experiencing separation anxiety;
8. The department’s defense in lawsuits and the consequent settlements.

SC justices deny requests from birth father, Cherokee Nation to rehear adoption case
SouthCoastToday.com | Latest News from the Associated Press:
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's highest court on Wednesday refused to rehear a case involving a South Carolina couple's attempts to adopt a girl of Cherokee heritage, setting up a family court action - and potentially a federal lawsuit.
This little girl belongs with her Father, not with a couple who can't make their own children. God made people infertile for a reason and it wasn't to take children from other's who can have children.
What is wrong with our Justice system these days? Have they all fallen off their rocker's? What gives them the right to play God? This little girl will suffer immensely if she's taken from her REAL family she's grown to know and love. But what do the Court's care? They do it every day to our children. No wonder the Pharmaceutical company's are getting rich off of our children. Parent's no longer have any rights.
I though New Hampshire was bad adopting children out without terminating a Father's right's. I guess South Carolina's INJUSTICE system is in the same category!

Baby Veronica: Another side to the story
Local View: Baby Veronica: Another side to the story : Opinion:
On the surface, it appears from reading the Journal Star on July 18 that after a long legal ordeal, Baby Veronica is back where she belongs -- with the Capobiancos, the adoptive parents her birth mother, Christy Maldonado, chose for her.
But the Associated Press story and Maldonado’s op-ed piece, though they tug at our heart strings, tell only a small part of the story. They portray Veronica’s father, Dusten Brown, who fought to gain custody of her and raised her for the past two years, as a deadbeat dad. They represent his tribe, the Cherokee Nation, as an opportunistic entity and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) as an unwarranted government intrusion into the private decision of a birth mother.

Have You Seen Me?
Have You Seen Me?
My REAL name is Austin Ricardo Gamez-Knightly and I turned 13 January 25th. I was born on January 25th, 2000 and lived with my Mother and Grandparent's for the first three years of my life. I was always a happy little boy and my Grandfather was my favorite person in the world.
I was stolen from my grandparents home by Nashua DCYF on February 3rd, 2006 after my Mother was falsely accused of neglect of me and my sister. Even though it was proven to be a false report and all criminal charges against my Mother were dropped in Criminall Court, CPSW Anna the homewrecker and CASA Angela Delyani-Hart both vowed to make sure me and my sister would never be returned. Judge LaFrancois refused to drop the charges against my Mother in Family Court and refused to return me and my sister. I haven't seen my little sister since 2007 when my stepfather got custody of her, but left me at St. Charles Childrens Home. I alaway's thought he was my father until NH DCYF and the Childrens Home really messed me up and told me he wasn't.
My Mother never abused me or neglected me, or my sister. My Mother and my Grandparents were always there for me and gave me and my sister everything we needed. We were always happy until DCYF kidnapped my sister and I from our family. I have been separated from all of them since 2007, even though I told them from the beginning I wanted to live with my Grandparent's if they wouldn't let me live with my Mother. They didn't care. They drugged me instead stating I have violent behavior. Why shouldn't I be violent when they ripped me and my sister from my family?
I know my REAL Family is still looking for me. I was supposed to be placed with my Grandparent's, but they were denied after Supervisor Tracey Gubbins made false statements in their unfinished home study. At the time, they couldn't find anyone who wanted to adopt me, except my Grandparents. Then when they finally reeled in a family to take me, my Grandparent's were denied my placement with them. My name was even changed before I was adopted. I heard that was illegal, but everything they've done to me and my Family is illegal.
I'm lost without my Family and I know they are lost without me. If anyone see's me, please contact my Grandmother as I am forbidden to. I may be in the Seacoast area of NH, or God only know's where. They are trying to keep me hidden from my REAL Family, but one day they will find me. That is if I don't find them first!
I want to go home, where no matter what, my Family loves me and I love them!

Julia Steiny: Why ‘Bad’ Moms Still Should Parent Their Kids
GoLocalWorcester | News | Julia Steiny: Why ‘Bad’ Moms Still Should Parent Their Kids:
In her own opinion, Dr. Brenda Harden has made serious mistakes with other people's lives.
In her own opinion, Dr. Brenda Harden has made serious mistakes with other people's lives.
Thirty years ago Harden was a front-line social worker for Child Protective Services in New York City, frequently removing children from troubled, violent, or drug-addled homes. But now, as an Associate Professor at University of Maryland College Park, she develops remedies for what she now considers to be flat-out damage inflicted on vulnerable children.
"But such babies plunge into mourning. They can't express deep loss in ways adults recognize, but mourning it is. Babies know and love the sound of Mom's voice, smell, her familiar movements. Mom is inevitably the first relationship. The health or weakness of that bond affects kids' capacity to attach to others in healthy ways going forward. Strong mother-child attachments give kids a resilient, socially healthy start in life. Weak, screwed-up, or broken early attachments often lead to a range of future problems, including attachment disorders, depression, and other mental health issues. "
