The Power of Words - Foster Care Providers

The Power of Words - Foster Care Providers

Written by Brenda Alexander-CPS-A System Out Of Control

Posted: 28 Mar 2010 10:22 PM PDT

It seems a small thing, saying foster mother or father but to the biological parent whose children have been stolen by CPS, it is huge. We either carried these children for 9 months, gave birth, raised and nurtured them or, in the case of a father, he helped to create this remarkable human being. By virtue of that alone, you are a mother or father. Regardless of what CPS tells you or your children, YOU are their mother or father. You are they're parent.


Foster care providers are just that...they are supposed to provide interim care until the real parents are finally able to regain custody of their children. Only in extreme cases of abuse and neglect should a child ever be placed up for adoption out of the foster care system. Yet thousands of parental rights are terminated every single day in this country because stealing children and selling them to adopters are the norm these days. The federal government gives the states millions of dollars each year, earned off the backs of your children. They get money from the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA); Title IV-E funding; Medicaid and Medicaid fraud; child support from the biological parents, SSI and disability. The more "special needs" labels you can paste on the child, the more money the state gets.


Also, it use to be that when a foster care provider adopted a child, the money stopped pouring in. Oh, that's not the way it is now. Foster care providers continue to get money each month (between $600 and $900 per child/per month) until they reach 18. It's interesting to me that we're now hearing of all these homeless 18 year olds that the states are trying to help because they were kicked out of their "foster" home the day they turned 18. Now the government is saying they'll continue to give them money up to the age of 21 IF they are allowed to stay in the foster home!


Let me ask you an honest question. How many biological parents do you personally know who have kicked their 18 year old child out of the home without a job, money, place to go, etc? Me? I don't know of any but that's just me. Do you think it might have something to do with the fact that all this "love" that fosters talk about (saying stupid stuff like "I do it because I LOVE the children") is really the love of money? They want that 18 year old gone so they can make room for their next little nest egg.


So please, when you write articles, emails, letters to government officials, etc., use the term "foster care provider" rather than "foster parents." They haven't earned that right. When it stops being about the money then maybe they'll deserve the other word but until them, don't give them more power than they already have.

Note from unhappygrammy:I personally call them foster "stranger's", because that's all they are is stranger's to our illegally stolen children. Only strangers would hold our children hostage for CPS/DCYF.

Wendy Osborne, 31, received 12 months' probation and a $1,000 fine and was ordered to complete 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a misdemeanor.

"There is no way the court can lessen the anger and frustration of those who loved the child," Judge Bob Adamson said at last week's sentencing in Jackson County Superior Court, according to the Braselton News. "This act is at the highest level of criminality of a misdmeanor involuntary manslaughter charge. If not for the recommendation of the district attorney, the court would have considered [jail] time in this case."

Osborne told authorities she returned from a doctor's appointment about 2:30 p.m. Sept. 2, 2008, and took her two adopted 3-year-old girls into her Nicholson home. She forgot about the baby in the car seat.

Osborne said she fell asleep, waking around 5 p.m. Then she remembered the baby in the minivan. The girl, Jessica Marie Scovil, was pronounced dead by emergency personnel called to the scene.

Osborne told authorities she had been sick for several days and was taking medication, which might have contributed to her drowsiness.

The infant had been living with Osborne for five months. Her birth parents were on the verge of regaining custody at the time of Jessica's death, relatives told the court.

"I will never understand how anyone could leave a 9-month-old baby in a hot van to die," said Jessica's grandmother, Georgia Nicholas, according to the Braselton News.

Osborne and her husband, Chris, had fostered several children before Jessica. Osborne even helped train new foster parents.

Before sentencing, witnesses testified on Osborne's behalf.

"I can't imagine that any punishment you can give her can be worse than what she's already been through," said Osborne's pastor, the Rev. Kent Barry, according to the Athens Banner-Herald. "She deals with this every day. She still has her two [5-year-olds] to care for, and when she looks at them, she can't help but see Jessica."

Rebecca Riley-- Death by Standard Psychiatric Care

Rebecca Riley--
Death by Standard Psychiatric Care
(801 word)
Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD
Author: THE ADHD FRAUD—How Psychiatry Make ‘Patients’ of Normal Children
28 Mar 2010

At 2 ½ years of age Rebecca Riley was diagnosed by psychiatrist Kayoko Kifuji to have ADHD and bipolar disorder. She was deemed ‘brain-diseased’/ ‘chemically imbalanced’ and in need of the chemical balancers—clonidine, Depakote and Seroquel—an especially poisonous antipsychotic. When she died at 4 it was said she was overdosed with clonidine by her parents, Carolyn and Michael Riley—both of them recently convicted of her murder.

Not only did organized psychiatry and her psychiatrist—Dr. Kifuji, get off scot-free but with clonidine blamed for her death, Depakote, Seroquel and most of the pharmaceutical industry, got a pass, as well.

District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said he believes the psychiatrist, Dr. Kifuji, who prescribed the drugs to Rebecca, should not be allowed to practice medicine in Massachusetts. He opined: “If what Dr. Kifuji did in this case is the acceptable standard of care for children in Massachusetts, then there is something very wrong in this state."

What Mr. Cruz seems ignorant of is that such glib, anti-scientific, diagnosing and drugging of normals, that Kifuji, and all psychiatrists, get away with, is psychiatry’s standard of care/practice not just in Massachusetts, but nationwide and worldwide. They brand every normal child brought to their offices ‘brain-diseased’/’chemically imbalanced’ and in need of chemical balancers—pills—just as Dr. Kifuji did to Rebecca Riley. This was the end of Rebecca’s life as a normal child.

On November 3, 2001, I wrote to Bernard S. Alpert, MD, President of the Medical Board of California:

“Dear Dr. Alpert, in the November 20, 2001, Family Circle magazine, Richard K. Harding, MD, President of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) proclaimed that psychiatrists diagnose and treat "diseases” just like all other physicians.

Children and adults are told they have ‘brain diseases’/ ‘chemical imbalances,’ when, in fact, they are entirely normal.

Parents who resist are deemed ‘medically negligent’ and have their children taken from them, made wards of the court and diagnosed and drugged nonetheless.

Testifying before the Committee on Education and the Workforce, on “Behavioral Drugs in Schools,” September 29, 2000, I stated:

“It would be fraudulent of anyone to claim that any psychiatric condition is an actual disease.” Claims such as those in Family Circle, violate Senate Bill 836, under which: “… it is unlawful for any person licensed in the healing arts to disseminate any form of public communication, containing a false, fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive statement or claim.”

On June 14, 2002, Dr. Alpert responded:

Thank you for your letter relating to the mental health profession’s representation of emotional and psychological conditions as diseases of the brain. It is unfortunate that such advertising is allowed, and that it often serves to mislead consumers rather than educate them. As you have outlined in your letter, there is tremendous professional support for categorizing emotional and psychological conditions a diseases of the brain. In published materials…you will find that support from chairmen of psychiatric departments, the American Psychiatric Association and professors of major medical schools. It is clear that the psychiatric community has set their standard, and while one might disagree with it, that standard becomes the legal standard upon which the Board must base its actions.

Unbelievably, what Dr. Alpert, was saying here is that whatever the majority in a profession or specialty do--even lie and poison children and adults known to be physically/medically normal--that that becomes the unassailable, legal “standard of practice. ”

Conversely, for an ethical, scientific physician to tell patients the truth—that ADHD and all psychiatric diseases are not diseases at all, or to fail to prescribe drugs for each and every one would be contrary to the “standard of practice” putting that physician, a purveyor of truth and science--in legal jeopardy.

Now you know what the ‘standard of care,’ the ‘standard of practice’ is and how psychiatry commissioned by the pharmaceutical industry has authored it both in their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and throughout their own entirely perverted, fraudulent ‘peer-reviewed,’ ‘scientific’ literature.

Do you wonder how they killed Rebecca Riley and got away with it?

Do you wonder that her parents were ‘fall guys’ convicted of her murder?

Nor is Rebecca alone. In the years, 1990-2000, 186 deaths due Ritalin/methylphenidate ‘treatment’ were reported to the FDA/MedWatch program—a number, like all such voluntary reporting systems thought to represent a mere one to ten percent of the actual number of deaths.

But then, this was the result of psychiatric care meeting psychiatry’s own best standard of care/standard of practice.

This is what was found to have been the case with Dr. Kifuji. This is why she is back labeling and drugging again, on the staff and faculty of the Tufts—New England Medical Center.

Child care reforms are investigated

Child care reforms are investigated
4:10am Sunday 28th March 2010


By Richard Vernalls »

THE rules around how children are taken into care across the county are being reviewed.

Councillors are forming a task force to look at the criteria for how vulnerable young people are taken into care.

Worcestershire county councillor Barry Gandy, chairing the task force, said the review decision had been taken in light of recent “high profile” cases of child neglect including that of Baby P in Haringey, north London, and Khyra Ishaq, in Birmingham, which had highlighted failures in other councils’ children’s services departments.

Members will look at the existing criteria in which children are taken into care in the county, the caseload of the children’s services child protection team and whether performance can be monitored.

A timeline of death
12 troubled years for L.A. County's Department of Children and Family Services

RELATED
As more L.A. County children die, reform still falters
March 28, 2010


March 1998: A consultant sharply criticized oversight of the "non-system" of care provided by Los Angeles County's Department of Children and Family Services and its director, Peter Digre.

May 1999: Digre, hired eight years before as the troubled department faced possible state takeover, abruptly resigned amid signs he had worn out his welcome with supervisors. Board later hired Anita Bock, citing her toughness.

July 2002: Bock was forced out as supervisors complained of a failure to adequately staff the child-abuse hotline, quickly investigate abuse, streamline adoption and prepare children in the system for adulthood. David Sanders was later named director.

February 2004: Supervisor Gloria Molina tore into Sanders after a Canoga Park toddler was beaten to death by a mother who had been the subject of six previous abuse complaints.

January 2005: A 3-month-old baby was found dead in a washing machine after the mother burned down the house. The mother had been convicted of child abuse 10 years earlier.

October 2005: Sarah Chavez, 2, was beaten to death by her great-uncle, who later was convicted of manslaughter. The girl had been removed from a loving foster home months before.

June 2006: Sanders resigned. Trish Ploehn was later promoted to director.

April 2007: Two-year-old Angel Montiel died after being moved from foster care back to his parents. His mother later pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter after his battered body showed signs of burns and untreated fractures.

August 2007: A 2-month-old girl died, apparently of malnutrition and neglect, on skid row a day after a social worker investigated reports of possible abuse and left the 4-pound child with her mentally ill mother.

May 2008: A 2-year-old Pomona girl starved to death. She and her siblings had been taken from foster care and returned to their parents. Months earlier, social workers found they were doing well.

June 2008: A 5-year-old boy suffered what police called "unbearable physical and psychological abuse" at the hands of a mother and her girlfriend, both with histories of violence. Numerous agencies in the county interacted with the family but didn't communicate with one another.

April 2009: The Times reported that 14 children died of abuse and neglect in 2008 despite having been under the scrutiny of the Department of Children and Family Services. The next day, supervisors expressed shock but county officials acknowledged that 12 died under similar circumstances in 2007 and 14 in 2006.

June 2009: The Times reported that for at least 18 years, the county had ignored urgent and sometimes gruesome reminders that its agencies didn't share key information about neglected children.

July 2009: Six-year-old Dae'von Bailey was beaten to death by his mother's ex-boyfriend, who later pleaded guilty to his murder. The boy's family had been the subject of roughly a dozen abuse complaints, most of which were not substantiated by social workers.

December 2009: A 4-month-old in Santa Monica was beaten to death, allegedly by her stepfather. The girl was left in the home despite the recent removal of siblings because of allegations of abuse.

March 2010: A 2-year-old was beaten to death in the home of a foster mother who had been the subject of five previous abuse complaints. The woman lived with her boyfriend, a convicted armed robber.

March 2010: Deandre Green, 2, was beaten to death, allegedly by his mother's boyfriend. Family members said they had warned police and child-welfare officials about bruises and other injuries.

Family rights advocates across the country are mourning the death of former Senator Nancy Schaefer. The bodies of Schaefer and her husband Bruce were found by their daughter Friday. They were both in the bedroom of their home in Georgia, and each had been shot once.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that The Georgia Bureau of Investigation found a suicide note written by Bruce, who was alledgedly suffering from cancer. Nancy had been shot in the back and Bruce was shot in the chest. People who knew Nancy balked at the idea that she committed a murder-suicide, as had been reported earlier, claiming a devout Christian wouldn't do such a thing.
Several people have posted on facebook that they had just spoken with Nancy, some saying they'd recently been with the couple. Each one saying that everything seemed fine. Mary Cadei Johnson wrote that she and Nancy had discussed, "the excitement of being able to meet each other in DC this July," adding, "she wanted to help me with a speech for my oldest daughter to give at the [Family Preservation] festival regarding Sibling Alienation."
Conservative Nancy Schaefer gained respect from both conservative and liberal family rights advocates for her bold and brave work exposing the corruption in Child Protection Services (CPS) and the US family courts. She gave a speech at the World Congress on Families in the Netherlands last year where she described how the US govt. was involved in human trafficking. View the speech HERE. Another speech on the subject can be seen in the video below.
Rumors abound that the couple were murdered for her work exposing this corruption, and that it was made to look like a murder-suicide.
