Defense attorney: hot car baby death 'unintentional' | Local News - Home:
WICHITA, Kan.
After being arrested for a deadly hot car death, defense attorneys for foster parent Seth Jackson said they believe the act was unintentional.
Comment: When is it EVER intentional to leave a child in a hot car? Foster stranger's are PAID to keep Foster children safe. Don't forget, these stranger's are the "Chosen", handpicked by the "Almighty" CPS. So yes, this does make ALL Foster's special in the eyes of the State. No-one can love or care about a child as much as their biological family. The State knows squat about raising children. All they are is a bunch of Psychic wannabees!

House Passes Adoption Incentives Bill, Senate Action Expected Soon
House Passes Adoption Incentives Bill, Senate Action Expected Soon | The Chronicle of Social Change:
The House passed by voice vote last night a bill that could usher in significant reform of the federal role in the adoption of youths in foster care.
Comment:
What don't you people get? This entire system need's to be overhauled. I thought the goal was to RE-UNIFY families with their children. How can this ever be accomplished when CPS is being rewarded for each and every child they remove from their home? It's a PROVEN fact that CPS does NOT follow Federal mandates. Children are removed for the stupidest reasons and services are not provided to their families. Most parent's are NEVER criminally charged, yet the removal of their children is worse than the death penalty. Those who are criminally charged often times the charges are dropped due to evidence proving their innocence, but they STILL Never get their children back. Evidence proving innocence is denied admittance in the Family Court's, parent's are ordered into programs that don't exist and "Relative placement is NOT an option," words of the CPS Supervisor.
Why in the world would CPS offer services to a family when our Govt. rewards them with Incentive money to remove them and adopt them out? When will the Fed's get their heads out of the sand and open their eyes to what CPS Nationwide is really doing? Put an end to rewarding CPS for the children they take. They should only be rewarded for the families they keep together. Isn't it time CPS did the job the Feds are paying them to do? RE-UNITE families? End Title IV funding, blood money for the theft of our children!

When the State Takes Kids Away From Parents: Three Perspectives
When the State Takes Kids Away From Parents: Three Perspectives - Conor Friedersdorf - The Atlantic:
In the reader correspondence that follows, a former child protective services worker shares her perspective on the system, the difficulty of working within it, and its paternalistic excesses. A woman who says the system saved her from an abusive father doubts the narrative that CPS is overaggressive at protecting kids. And a father investigated for child abuse says that the experience radicalized him.
Comment: It isn't just Michigan that receives money for every child placed in Foster care and adopted out. This is a Nationwide problem. The reason I say Problem is because CPS is only rewarded for every child they steal. This is definitely a backward system. The only time they should be rewarded is when they actually provide services to at-risk families and keep the families together. When one is PAID to Steal children, what incentive do they have to work to keep the family together? NONE! Title IV funding MUST end!

CPS-DHS does not want you to know this information
So many parents have made the mistake of trusting the system, I know from personal experience. Parents give up because it is very exhausting and that is exactly what social services wants you to do, but the only option that you have to to keep fighting. Parents that have been falsely accused feel as if they can not win, but you can you need to stay strong for your children and make sure they know that you are fighting for them. Advocates all over can not stress enough to get people to learn everything they can that will help.

This story tell's how the Foster stranger's feel, having a Native American child removed from their home and placed with Family member's. Isn't that how it's supposed to be, even if the children aren't Native American?
Don't Federal mandates matter? Mandates which state a child is to be placed with Family member's first? What don't these people get? Stop taking in Foster children and only hearing one side of the story. These children already HAVE families who want them! If a Nationwide investigation was done, just think of how many illegally stolen children would be returned to their families!
