Beware Child Protective Services: What Victims, Advocates, and Mandated Reporters Need to Know

Beware Child Protective Services: What Victims, Advocates, and Mandated Reporters Need to Know:
Probably no other public agency leaves victims and advocates more perplexed than Child Protective Services.

Most mothers say they would rather be threatened with jail than to be threatened with the loss of her child. Yet as invasive, terrifying, and awesome as this governmental threat is, virtually all the decisions as to her fitness, compliance, and fate are being decided at the lowest judicial standard of evidence, 51% of the evidence, the 'preponderance of the evidence' standard. This is a far cry from the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard the government must reach before sentencing someone to jail for even the briefest time.

Texas Judge Orders Removal of YouTube Video Exposing Abuse in Foster Care System

Texas Judge Orders Removal of YouTube Video Exposing Abuse in Foster Care System:

13 yr old Tx boy wants a voice



The Truth Hurts Doesn't it?

HOUSTON, Texas -- In a continuing cover-up by Child Protective Services (“CPS’) in Texas, Judge Keith Dean this week ordered the removal of a YouTube video produced by a 13-year-old boy that exposes the sexual and physical abuse that he and his brother endured while in CPS foster care. The video also reveals the 377-day nightmare suffered by him and his six siblings after they were ripped from their loving family and placed in four different foster care facilities out of county. The mother told Breitbart Texas “they are trying to rake this abuse under the rug.” Breitbart Texas has procured the YouTube video from a source outside the family.

Nashua, NH DCYF STILL Refuse Relative Placement Before Foster care

It has just recently come to my attention that Nashua, NH DCYF is STILL not following Federal Government mandates when it comes to children being placed with relatives before Foster care.

NH DCYF's Director Maggie Bishop prides herself in contacting relatives first for the child's placement before placing the child in Foster care. What a crock!

By law, the State of New Hampshire must make efforts to identify and notify all adult relatives of a child within 30 days of a child going into placement. If a family relative is not available or not appropriate, the child may be placed in a licensed foster home.

After failing the Federal Statewide Assessment's in 2003 and again in 2010, which clearly show failure by the State to place children with relatives first, especially in Nashua, it's the same old same old. Children are still being placed in Foster care instead of with fit and willing relatives.

I was recently told about a Mother who was arrested a few months back, who was raising a toddler and an older child. The arrest had nothing to do with child abuse, yet the children were placed in Foster care instead of with their Grandmother, who went to the home at the time of the arrest to specifically take the children to her home. She was denied and the children were placed in Foster care. This Grandmother is a good woman, not a trouble maker and neither was I when my Grandchildren were stolen. And that was nine years ago and DCYF practices still haven't changed.

The NH Legislature claim,s auditing DCYF and watching over their practices would be too expensive, yet DCYF fail's both Govt. Audits and still get's their almighty Federal Funding even though Federal Mandates STILL aren't being followed! Whats up with that?

Michele Bachmann admits children in foster care are lab rats

BEVERLY TRAN: Michele Bachmann admits children in foster care are lab rats:

To a great surprise to many, Michele Bachmann has made a public admission that children in the United States foster care system are subject to medical experimentation.
Even though her powerful message was unintentionally ensconced within the hate-platform of non-American child protection, the meaning is evident with her legislation inspired by Justine Pelletier to end funding of medical experiments on foster children.

Former Child Protective Services Caseworker: ‘I’ll be blunt: this is insane.”:

My last couple of posts have touched on issues relating to children’s welfare and safety, and the issue of what role child protective agencies should play in that. Here’s another fine piece by Conor Friedersdorf, although in truth, it’s less his work than that of the three people he called on to comment on their experiences with CPS (The Atlantic, 7/24/14). Sometimes it’s best to just allow others to speak and listen to them when they do and, to Friedersdorf’s credit, he does just that in a sensible and balanced way. A former CPS worker, a woman who credits CPS for her removal from her family and a father who was abused by the child protection system were Friedersdorf’s choices to speak out about what to do when children may, or may not be, at risk.

Child Policy - Asfa - An Assault On Family Preservation | Failure To Protect

Child Policy - Asfa - An Assault On Family Preservation | Failure To Protect | FRONTLINE | PBS:

The New Federal Adoption Law

It is often said that American child welfare policy operates like a pendulum. It swings from expressing the predominant objective of keeping troubled families together to making protection of children from parental harm its top priority. Family preservation and child safety are treated as two opposing ends of the spectrum of child welfare concerns. These shifts have not been based on any real changes in rates of child maltreatment. They are often responses to highly publicized incidents of abuse by parents or by the system and to the political currents surrounding child welfare debates. "Watching federal policy develop in the field of child abuse and neglect over the past two decades has been like watching the sunrise in Barrow, Alaska in late November!" proclaimed one expert. "Federal and state political action over the last several decades could be characterized as being symbolic rather than substantive, reactive and punitive rather than proactive and supportive (of either children or adults)."2

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!
