Research Shows Foster Youth Get Psych Meds, But Not Much Else | The Chronicle of Social Change:

A pair of rulings from the state Supreme Court this month illustrates just how powerful New Hampshire considers a parent’s connection to their child-to-be, even if the parent is absent or pays little for their child’s upkeep.

My Comment: Maggie, who are you trying to kid? DCYF supporting families? Is that something new? Are your workers finally doing their jobs thanks to the work of the NH Legislature? I see you no longer steal children from parent's in Methadone treatment. Funny how times have changed since stealing my newborn granddaughter, due to the fact the morphine IV given to her mother in labor for 19 hr's wound up in her. Anyone with half a brain knows what's given to a mother in labor winds up in the baby. And do your new assessment workers investigate now before filing a petition to steal a child, unlike your former assessment worker Melissa Deane who testified in Court she didn't investigate and had no clue the Mother was given morphine in labor. Duh! I also see you no longer force parents out of Methadone treatment as you did with my daughter. Was it because I was so vocal as to the illegality and discrimination? Or did it have to do with her case in general? All the perjury, the slander and all the deceitful practices used against my once happy family?
Maggie, you could tell me the sky is blue and I wouldn't believe you. I learned who to trust and who not to trust and you definitely can NOT be trusted.

Happy 14th Birthday Austin Where-ever You Are

Happy Birthday to our special Grandson Austin where-ever you are.
I know you can't be with us today thank's to the corrupt State of NH and their corrupt Family Court's, but we hope you have a great day.

It's been seven years since you were stolen from your REAL family and life will never be the same without you. I hope that you will read this if you're able and know that we have never stopped fighting for your return. I hope you're not drugged up so much that you've been totally brainwashed into believing your REAL family did anything to deserve the hell we've been put through by this corrupt State. You were NEVER abused and NEVER neglected. Your Mother was falsely accused and it was proven in Criminal Court. The DCYF Caseworker you liked so much (Anna the Homewrecker), was just that, a Homewrecker, who forced the break up of your entire family. I hoped you've learned who you can trust and who can never be trusted. We learned the hard way.

Your Mother is now divorced, thank's to Nashua DCYF, though your step father never was the Father he should have been to you and your sister. You know yourself, your Mom and the rest of your REAL family are the ones who did everything for you and your sister, while your stepfather was off doing God only knows what.
Your Mom is now married to the man you used to see working around town. The man you called Mommy's friend, even though you didn't even know him. The man you used to tell Mommy she should be with instead of your step father. You were a smart boy. Even you knew who was better of the two men at such a young age.
Remember the Birthday parties your Mother used to throw for you? Every year they were the best parties in town. Birthday's worth remembering. I hope you do and all of the other special day's spent with your Mom and Real family.We will never forget what a happy little boy you always were and how excited you were on your Birthday.

Picture's of the last Birthday party spent with you when you turned five.

We've missed so much time with you, needlessly. You were supposed to come and live with me and Grampie, but the DCYF Supervisor falsified the Home Study paperwork. They were afraid I would take you off the drug's they put you on. The drug's that make you forget. The drug's you never needed until they stole you. The drug's they tell Foster kids are just vitamins.
Also, one last thing. You have a cousin who was born on your birthday four years ago. A cousin who can't wait to meet you. Who talks about you all the time. She even asked for you and Isabella to come home for Christmas.
Some day you will be home where you belong. All of us love and miss you and can't wait to see you again.
Love always, Grammy, Grampie, Mommy and your entire REAL Family!

Federal Court in Ciavarella “Kids For Cash” Case Issues Groundbreaking Ruling: State Court Judge’s Acts Not Immune from Conspiracy and RICO

Federal Court in Ciavarella “Kids For Cash” Case Issues Groundbreaking Ruling: State Court Judge’s Acts Not Immune from Conspiracy and RICO « California Coalition for Families and Children, PBC:

What It Means for Parents and Children

“This decision will profoundly impact parents’ ability to pursue Family Court judges for civil rights violations based on judicial conduct occurring outside of the courtroom, which causes injury inside the courtroom.” says Colbern Stuart, President of California Coalition for Families and Children.  ”Every parent should take a close look at the judge, psychologist, and attorneys in their cases to see if they were involved in any out-of-court activity such as court policy-making committees, legal or judicial professional organizations, “CLE” for judges or attorneys, “think tanks” and “technical assistance” organizations that influence judicial behavior and the administration of justice.  Those activities are now clearly suspect if they result in constitutional injury.”  Says Stuart.  ”Illegal policies or guidance, and unethical conduct and business dealings that lead to a decision inside of court that deprives a litigant or their family of civil rights can be the basis for civil liability that is not immunized by the in-court act.”   “If a parent or child has been deprived of civil rights or otherwise damaged by such policies or illegal dealings, they may have recourse against the Family Court judge, psychologist, or attorney acting illegally outside of court.”  Says Stuart.

The purpose of this study is to make a critical examination of six official reports in an LVU (Care of Young Persons Act) investigation, to detect the possible occurrence of persecution strategies in the social welfare service reports and, in that case, to define the strategies used and examine whether the investigation complies with the legitimate claims of objectivity and impartiality.

New Hampshire's Prescription Drug Abuse Problem

Isn't it a sad state of affairs when our own Doctor's over prescribe medication to their patients? Our loved ones suffer, along with their families. Where does one turn? It seems to be a lose, lose situation. Complaints are made, still no-one listens. Our loved ones become, addicted while the Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies make money off of our pain, turning our loved ones into useless zombies.
I recently met a woman who was prescribed Klonopins (Clonazepam) used to treat seizures and panic disorder. I swear these are the worse pill's known to man and should be banned. They are highly addictive and often times abused. They cause drowsiness, confusion and so many more unwanted effects. They even make a person seem intoxicated. In fact, I know of one woman who was arrested for intoxication while on Klonopin's, but that's a whole different story in itself. And yes, her life and her entire family's life was ruined because of it.
This woman I spoke of went to a Nashua Pharmacy to get her prescription filled. They were all out and she got sent to another Pharmacy. The second Pharmacy was also out. She was told they don't get enough Klonopin's delivered for all the people who take them and they had no idea when they would get more. She was sent to another Pharmacy, who by some strange chance was able to fill her prescription. Another woman had the same problem when trying to fill her prescription of Klonopin's. What is wrong with NH Doctor's? Why is this highly addictive drug prescribed more often than not?
When more than one Pharmacy  run's out of a Klonopin's, what does that tell you? And when a Doctor is told that a patient is abusing this medication, many times so confused that they forget when they take them, but do nothing to stop the abuse, what does that tell you?
It's no wonder so many of N.H.'s population are walking around like zombies. That is, when they can even get out of bed. What does a person have to do to stop this abuse? Where do they turn?

Sioux Mother Rescues Abused Children, Faces Arrest

Sioux Mother Rescues Abused Children, Faces Arrest | Stephanie Woodard:

The emergency-room doctor was furious at what he had seen, recalled Audre'y Eby, who is Rosebud Sioux and the mother of disabled 16-year-old twins. One of her sons, who is blind and autistic, squirmed on the examination-room table, screaming, "Ow, ow, it hurts!" The doctor had found livid red and purple bruises covering his penis and scrotum, according to the Nebraska hospital's records. Those injuries would soon lead to an arrest warrant for the mother -- not because she had caused the harm, but because she did not return her son, along with his wheelchair-bound twin, to their abusers.

People No Longer Matter. It's all About the Money!

What has happened to today's society when the only thing that matter's is Money? No-one cares about people anymore, only the almighty dollar. Only the money to be made off of the backs of other's.
A former orphan, who was in DCYF custody as a teen, was hit with a lien for almost $207,000 in medical expenses by the State of Rhode Island. See:

Former DCYF ward billed 207K by state Hit with lien for medical care from years ago

This former orphan didn't ask to be removed from his family. No child does. Why should he be responsible to pay the State for kidnapping him? For making his life a living hell? The State should be paying him. For that matter, why should any parent be held responsible to pay for their children being kidnapped by the State? Again, the State should be paying them. Parent's and families don't ask for DCYF involvement. They don't ask for the hell they're put through, but they're supposed to pay for it.

A NH Lawyer, hired by the Family Court, to fight for an accused Mother states he has more important client's than her and the State doesn't pay him enough to fight for her. Like I said, it's all about the money.

We all know drug companies pay Doctor's to push their medications, many times prescribing these medications to people who don't even need them. Many times causing these people to become addicted to the drugs they shouldn't be on in the first place. Many times causing the ruination of families when the Doctor's won't listen to relatives who complain of the unnecessary drugging of their loved ones. Of the addiction their loved ones now have making them unbearable to be around. Again, it's all about the money.

An article in a NH paper: 

Medicaid expansion gets new life in House, heads back to dubious Senate

State Rep. Cindy Rosenwald, D-Nashua, said New Hampshire already lost $4 million in enhanced federal grants by not expanding Medicaid on Jan. 1.

In my opinion, expanding Medicaid will only bring more problems, especially for low income home owner's. But again, nobody cares. Many of the people forced on Medicaid will lose their homes, just as the former orphan is now responsible for a lien on his asset's, the homeowner will also be responsible. Again, it's all about the money.

Children removed by the State, after their parents and families are accused of abuse and neglect are taken because of the Adoption Promotion Act. For every child removed, the States anti goes up. For every adoption, the States anti goes up. For every child the State drug's, their anti goes up. Again, it's all about the money.

When will people get a clue there is so much more to life than money? I've heard since I was a young child, Money is the root of all evil. And it is. It's been proven time and time again. Where there's money to be made, there's corruption. People these day's are just a dollar sign and families are expendable!

Gov. Deval L. Patrick and officials at the state Department of Children and Families were quick to claim last week that the agency's failures to protect 5-year-old Jeremiah Oliver of Fitchburg — who has been missing since September and may have been killed — was a "unique" case and does not indicate a systematic problem in the agency.

Gov. Deval Patrick’s insistence that it was individual failures — “not systemic” ones — that allowed a now-missing 5-year-boy to fall through the cracks of the state child welfare system was panned as a hasty assessment that smacks of the administration’s quick-to-downplay reputation, according to one top lawmaker.

Happy New Year-2014! Could this be Our Year?

Happy New Year Everyone! Could this be our Year? The year of Child Protective Services demise?
I sure hope so. With all the stories this past year, shared around the world of CPS worker's finally getting their just desert's, this just could be the year their reign of terror comes to an end.

Maybe the Family Court's will even stop treating families worse than convicted criminal's. Maybe families will finally be given "due process" AND "Open" Court hearings, no longer hiding behind closed door's. Maybe the Federal Govt. will finally investigate the deceitful practices used against families and put an end to Title IV funding, used to destroy families. Maybe this year they will finally get it right and only reward CPS for families kept together. How about Services to at-risk families and Relative placement to truly abused children instead of Foster care. Better yet, abolishment of CPS and let the Police handle REAL cases of abuse, like it used to be. Put an end to the Adoption Promotion Act, responsible for the endless removal of children.
Responsible for the States trying to outdo each other in child removals in order to obtain more Federal funding. Jury trials would be nice also.

Here are just a few of Child Protective Services screw ups and firings for 2013. Let's hope 2014 see's many more firings, Worldwide. These stories also include innocent children, who died while in Foster care, where CPS was responsible for placing them:
