The Most Powerful Person in a Child Custody Case Isn't the Judge:
Courts in the U.S. have sentenced thousands of children to live with a parent who abused them. The family court judges who reach this decision — and restrict or end the relationship of the parent who reported concerns of abuse — usually do so based on the opinion of a court-appointed expert.

The Obama Youth Movement & the Seizing of American Children:
There is presently a massive conspiracy designed to separate you from your children and give the government complete control over your children. To put it simply, Health and Human Services (HHS) and their state level emissary, Child Protective Services (CPS) are engaged in a conspiracy which will culminate in (1) the Agenda 21 designed breakdown of the family; (2) the eradication of any semblance of parental authority over children; and, (3) unbridled and unfettered access to seizing children from the home in unlimited quantities for whatever nefarious purposes which might dictate the volume of child seizures.

NH Child Abuse Laws Don't Consider Fetuses as Children, So Why are Newborns Being Stolen at Birth For Alleged Abuse?
In NH, Child Abuse Laws Don't Consider Fetuses as Children, Then why are NH mother's being charged with abusing/neglecting their unborn children, recognized only as Fetuses at the time of the alleged abuse/neglect?
Why is NH DCYF and the NH Family Court's getting away with removing the newborns of these Mother's?
In 2005, the Legislature considered a bill to make it a crime to harm a fetus, but it didn't pass. See: http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20060801-NEWS-308019987?cid=sitesearch The bill specifically exempted pregnant women from being charged with harming their own unborn child. If they can't be criminally charged, why are they charged with abuse and neglect,
when according to The Child Welfare Information Gateway:
Child abuse and neglect are defined by Federal and State laws. At the State level, child abuse and
neglect may be defined in both civil and criminal statutes.
Definitions of Child abuse and Neglect-See: https://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/define.pdf As in the case above pertaining to Parental substance abuse-
Parental substance abuse is an element of the definition of child abuse or neglect in some States.11 Circumstances that are considered abuse or neglect in some States include:
• Prenatal exposure of a child to harm due to the mother’s use of an illegal drug or other substance (14 States and the District of Columbia)12. If you click on the above link and scan down to No. 12, Notice how New Hampshire is NOT one of the States who consider Prenatal substance abuse as Abuse or Neglect.

http://digitalcommons.pace.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1478&context=lawfaculty
So WHY are newborn babies being Stolen from their Mother's, right from the Hospital for alleged prenatal substance abuse and WHY are New Hampshire Family Court Judges allowing this miscarriage of Justice to happen?
Also, pertaining to the NH woman in the above article, she was allowed substance abuse treatment, but her daughter was still never returned to her, while other Mother's are forced out of treatment by the NH Family Court's and DCYF in order to regain custody of their children. They're still not returned, in fact the the little girl in the top article is in the same adoptive home as my granddaughter Isabella. Another Injustice by the State of New Hampshire.
According to SAMSHA guidelines 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.
Why is New Hampshire getting away with these abuses? Why won't anyone put an end to these abusive practices?

My introduction into child protective service cases was due to a grandmother in an adjoining state who called me with her tragic story. Her two granddaughters had been taken from her daughter who lived in my district. Her daughter was told wrongly that if she wanted to see her children again she should sign a paper and give up her children. Frightened and young, the daughter did. I have since discovered that parents are often threatened into cooperation of permanent separation of their children.
