FBI Investigates Baby Kidnapped from Couple in Alabama Who Declined Birth Certificate and SSN
FBI Investigates Baby Kidnapped from Couple in Alabama Who Declined Birth Certificate and SSN:
It has been almost 2 months since itinerant missionaries Christian and Danielle Holm’s newborn baby was ripped from his mother’s breast in an Alabama hospital by the Department of Human Resources (DHR). Social workers called in hospital security, police, and a sheriff’s detective after the couple declined a social security card and birth certificate for their baby. There was a case of mistaken identity, but that was easily and quickly demonstrated to be false. There was no abuse and no neglect, but that didn’t stop DHR from seizing the 1 day old infant from his parents, allegedly without a warrant, court order, or emergency circumstances.
Their baby is reportedly still in foster care.

Foster Care Children Abused with Psychotropic Drugs.
CCHR STL Foster Care:
Whether under the care of Child Protective Services, Departments of Family and Child Services, or Youth Welfare Offices, foster children—often removed from family homes because of abuse—are further abused when they are prescribed psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs. Already troubled over their circumstances, these children are drugged for emotional and behavioral issues, sometimes with tragic outcome.

After reading about Maurita Johnson’s appointment to the Division of Child and Family Services, I am hoping that Ms. Johnson will take on the task of cleaning up an extremely broken system that is causing far more harm to our children, and families, than good.I am one of the many grandparents, trying to cope with the corruption of Child Protective Services. Currently I am battling for the return of my granddaughter, who has been in our lives since birth. Does CPS really try to keep families together? Not in my experience. Not in mine either!

Another Christmas Eve is Here-2016
Another Christmas Eve is here,
It's now 2016,
Eleven long, painful years,
The stolen grandchildren we still haven't seen.
Their stockings are hung with their siblings,
And many cousin's too,
Still waiting for their return,
But when,we have no clue.
We don't even know if they remember us,
I'm sure they're told we didn't care,
They're probably afraid to make contact,
I'm sure they've been threatened don't dare.
How insensitive can the stranger's raising them be,
Knowing these children have REAL family,
Family that love and miss them,
Family they won't let them see.
I feel like there really is a Grinch,
It goes by the name of CPS,
But instead of protecting children,
They make families a total mess.
So another Christmas Day we'll spend,
With three empty chairs at the table,
We pray to God we'll see them again,
We pray we'll still be able.
We hope they know we love them,
And that we always will,
We hope there will come a day,
That all three will come home,
Come home at last to stay.
Love, Grammy

Sununu says many solutions needed to address DCYF issues | New Hampshire:
CONCORD — Staffing upgrades in the next state budget and changes in state law need to happen to improve the care of abused children, Gov.-elect Chris Sununu said Tuesday.
My comment:"He’s also met with DCYF staffers, who complain that existing definitions in state law and the actions of state judges prevent them from moving forward on what they suspect."Have the NH Legislator's made it that difficult to simply remove children from homes for "Suspected" abuse without proof of any wrongdoing? Or no abuse or neglect at all, but "anticipated" neglect in the future? Thank's to the Legislature, DCYF is no longer removing every child when a report is called in, be it false or true. No longer is every child considered to be in "imminent danger", immediately taken from their families and never returned. Are we going to take ten steps back now because DCYF and the Family Court's are finally following "some" of the Federal mandates? Will "relative placement" again be a thing of the past? Will ALL families again be treated as guilty from the onset of a case? The two children mentioned died because DCYF is too busy making cases against innocent families instead of focusing on children suffering from REAL abuse. Instead of spending more money, the dead wood Supervisor's that have been there for year's should be replaced. The Supervisor's are the ones giving the order's that the caseworker's have to follow. The Family Court Judges are now just that. Family Court Judges. No longer are they Judges who just sit in on any and all cases. No longer are they all bias against ALL parents and families.

Legally Kidnapped: System-Suckology: Thoughts on Pizzagate Connection to CPS Vs. The Real Child Welfare Pedophiles
Legally Kidnapped: System-Suckology: Thoughts on Pizzagate Connection to CPS Vs. The Real Child Welfare Pedophiles:
I'm sure that many of you are by now aware of and jumping on the Pizzagate train.
I've recently seen many links popping up on this Pizzagate issue. These links include Reddit banning the #Pizzagate hashtag. Some blogs trying to link CPS as human traffickers to this group of high society pedophiles. I've even seen blogs trying to link our beloved Senator Nancy Schaefer and her fight against CPS to this nasty scandal which is really sad since her death has been reduced to a conspiracy theory that has never been proven or debunked by anybody with the power to do so leaving us to speculation.

DCYF investigated about 10 cases of abuse involving Nashua mom prior to daughter's death | New Hampshire
DCYF investigated about 10 cases of abuse involving Nashua mom prior to daughter's death | New Hampshire:
NASHUA — Prior to the 2014 death of 3-year-old Brielle Gage, the New Hampshire Division for Children Youth and Families investigated about 10 cases of abuse and neglect allegedly at the hands of her mother, according to Jeffery Strelzin, assistant attorney general.
My Comment:
I will never understand why in God's name, DCYF and the Family Court returned Brielle and her siblings to their Mother while Felony child abuse charges were pending. I also don't understand their reasoning behind ALL of the other many children, whose parent's are proven innocent in Criminal Court of child endangerment charges,the children unharmed, why Family Court charges are never dropped and the children never returned.
The death of this precious little girl should never have happened and if the State had given custody to her Grandmother, like they should have, she would be alive today.
This has nothing to do with enacting new Law's, but everything to do with abiding with the Law's we already have in place.
R.I.P. Brielle.
