Steps to Helping the Innocent to Obtain Safety from Child Protective Services

Steps to Helping the Innocent to Obtain Safety from Child Protective Services

You've just learned that a report has been filed against you with the Child Protective Services agency. However, you know that you've done nothing wrong and are completely innocent. Thoughts about losing your children to Child Protective Services run through your mind. You're scared beyond belief, and you fear for your children, as they can end up in some pretty abusive foster care situation. Worst of all, they can suffer some pretty damaging trauma by being separated from you and being placed with complete strangers, which is the ultimate death and destruction of a child. But before you allow your fear to consume you, it is important for you to know that there is recourse that you can take to insure the safety of you and your children from Child Protective Services.

The moment you learn that Child Protective Services has been called, consult with a lawyer. It is always best to get the advice of a lawyer when you are up against Child Protective Services because he can tell you what your next steps should be. A lawyer can also advise you of your rights and what CPS can and cannot do. Having knowledge of these things is important because if you do not, CPS will be more than happy to use your ignorance to their advantage. If you are worried about the cost of a lawyer or are low income, you will be elated to know that you have a number of options at your disposal to insure that your voice gets heard and that you obtain the justice you deserve.

One thing you can do if money is a problem is to take advantage of the free consultation that most lawyers offer to ask all the questions that you have on your mind. Keep in mind though that most consultations are approximately thirty minutes long, so you may want to prepare all of your questions beforehand to get the most out of your free consultation. Should your time run out before all of your questions are answered, find another lawyer and take advantage of his free consultation.


Another thing that you can do is consult legal aid. Legal aid may not be too much help, but they may be able to answer your questions, provide explanations, give you access to legal resources and put you in the right


direction. If you do decide to use legal aid at all, you need to be careful. Legal aid is government funded, and they will probably be sleeping with the CPS agency. This means that they may try to side with CPS and not offer you much help. Research everything they tell you to make sure you are not being steered into a trap. Google is your very best friend in this case.

Finally, you can find a Prepaid Legal representative and sign up. There are lawyers that work for Prepaid Legal that take on cases involving child protective services. Prepaid Legal is very inexpensive, with the average membership costing at around $17 monthly. That is a small price to pay when it comes to Child Protective Services threatening to tear your family apart and violate your family rights to the max, all for the sake of what they consider standing up for so-called child welfare. This monthly subscription to Prepaid Legal will enable you to have your very own personal lawyer who will fight with you to the finish, just as he would if you were paying the conventional way. Not to mention, he will be there to advise you whenever you have questions, and he will guide you through the entire process, so CPS will not gain more children into their system to capitalize on at the expense of psychologically damaging both children and parents.

Once you've obtained the legal help you need, it is time to start learning all that you can to protect your family rights, including the things that Child Protective Services does not want you to know. The Fight CPS and the American Family Rights Association websites are good places to start because there is so much to read on these websites that you will be awake for weeks or even months. The fight CPs website also has a forum, which will enable you to talk with other advocates, get some answers, and possibly find someone to help you fight the battle right along with you.

Along with employing these tips, you should also obtain an advocate. A good advocate will help you fight the fine fight until it is over, and they will insure that the rights of you and your family are protected. A good advocate will never leave you to face CPS alone.

Child Protective Services, an agency that is supposed to be there and protect society's most vulnerable citizens-our children, has actually devastated and failed them beyond belief. Children have been ripped from their


parents loving arms for the sake of corruption, and as a result, have had their childhoods shattered, having nothing more to live for. To save your children from being victims of this horrible fate, and to keep yourself from the heartache, it is good that you be proactive, get very well acquainted with your family rights, and fight the fine fight. After all, your family's future will depend on it.

Neglected or Abused Children in NH-Parent's INADEQUATE Representation

TITLE LIX

CHAPTER 604-A

Section 604-A:1-a

604-A:1-a Neglected or Abused Children. – In cases involving a neglected or abused child, when a guardian ad litem is appointed for the child as provided in RSA 169-C:10, the cost of such appointment shall be paid from funds appropriated for indigent defense pursuant to this chapter.

Note from unhappygrammy
As you can see, in child abuse and neglect cases an attorney is appointed to represent the parent, paid for by the indigent fund, better known as the DCYF fund. In which case, you can kiss your child goodbye. When your court-appointed puppet does nothing to fight for you, stating the court is his boss, don't expect the Nashua, NH Judges to allow you to fire him. It doesn't happen. No matter how many motion's you file, your stuck with the puppet. Even if you state you 'll represent yourself, God know's you can do a better job defending yourself. You know your case better than anyone else, Nashua Judges still deny you the right to fire the puppet. In such a case, your child is gone forever, which is what DCYF, the Judge and your court-appointed puppet were all working for. Innocent or not, you lose. That's a fact of life in NH!

Indiana child welfare supervisor convicted of perjury

Indiana child welfare supervisor convicted of perjury
By Associated Press
Washington Times-Herald

Princeton — A supervisor with Indiana's child welfare agency has been convicted of perjury for allegedly lying under oath in connection with the case of a teenager who was held in a shelter for 30 days without a court hearing.

Gayle Edelen of Poseyville was convicted Wednesday on three counts of perjury and one count of misconduct. She will be sentenced July 1.

Edelen is the supervisor of Gibson County's Department of Child Services supervisor.

Prosecutors say she lied at a November 2008 hearing a county judge called to determine why the teen was held for about a month at a Vincennes shelter without a required court hearing.

Edelen testified that she told the judge, the girl's attorney and a DCS attorney that the girl was at the shelter. The judge and two attorneys said she never told them that.

Nashua, NH DCYF Kidnap Undamaged Children-Their Worth More Money!

I have recently come to a conclusion on the reasoning behind DCYF's kidnapping of non-abused, non-neglected, un-damaged Nashua area children, while abused and neglected children are left suffering in their homes.
There are MANY Nashua mother's who have given birth to drug addicted babies and are NOT reported to Nashua DCYF by their cohort hospital. If they are reported, the DCYF worker will ask the mother if she still plans on using illegal drugs. Of course the mother say's NO and the case is dropped. Mother's who smoke crack, shoot heroin and whatever else while their pregnant, still have their children. This proves to me that DCYF only goes after the un-damaged children. The children of mother's who went into methadone treatment, to make sure their baby was born healthy. The baby's were born healthy and these are the baby's kidnapped by DCYF. The babies who didn't suffer brain damage, low birth weight or any of the other complications suffered by newborn babies of drug addicted mother's. Babies whose lives will be hell. Babies whose lives may be cut short due to the drug abuse of their mother's.
The healthy babies are the ones DCYF can make more money off of. The State won't have to provide lifetime services for these children, as they would have to for drug addicted children. Drug addicted children are too hard to place.
I've spoken to mother's whose newborn babies have been kidnapped, after being in the methadone program for pregnant women. They are sorry they went into the methadone program, after seeing all the drug addicted mother's who still have their children. Their damaged children! They've told me they never should have gone into the methadone program and they wouldn't have lost their child. These mother's trusted the staff of the methadone program. They trusted the people who CAN NOT be trusted. I guess the corruption is everywhere. Mother's to be can only trust their family. Not outsider's, who say they are there to help. They are only there to help themselves, making money off newborn babies. Drug addicted mother's would be better off staying away from any methadone programs. They are pushed into it after refusing abortion and told by the Counselor that their baby will die if they don't take the methadone. What a crock! Methadone withdrawl is much worse than heroin withdrawl. So if you want to keep your baby, get off drugs and stay away from any methadone program.
I've also noticed how DCYF kidnap's older children with no behavior problems or violent behavior. When these children fight back, they are automatically given a label. First the parent is told their drugged for their new-found violent behavior. Once the child get's a little older and placement becomes nearly impossible, except that is to the child's own family who is NOT allowed custody because DCYF will lose money, the child is given a new label and fed more drugs, without consent of his parents, yet rights have NOT been terminated. Consent by the parent doesn't matter any way, because the NH Judges will sign the order whether the parent likes it or not. Parent's have NO say in the NH Court's. Ask any DCYF worker. They laugh in your face and tell you NH Judges have NO SAY! And they don't! DCYF get's whatever they want.
In the Nashua area, white children are in high demand. If the baby look's white at birth, but is actually half Spanish, the caseworker tells the mother not to tell anyone. Is it true white children are worth more money to DCYF? Sick, putting a price tag on a child!
If an older child is half Spanish, which anyone can clearly see and the child is older, say six year's old, he has two thing's against him. His nationality and his age. This child is automatically given a label and fed drug's. Now he's worth more to DCYF and has a better chance of being placed with foster stranger's as they get more money for this child and even more money if they adopt him. My grandson Austin was kidnapped at age six and placed in a foster home, tried to hang himself due to the loss of his family, then placed in a childrens home, sixty miles away and sat their until he was almost ten, before DCYF could finally place him with an adoptive family.
Many foster stranger's went to meet him at the childrens home, but no-one could handle him. An angry little boy, traumatized by DCYF. He was on display like a puppy in a pet store. We fought for him since he was kidnapped and are still fighting for him. We want him regardless of any problems he has due to DCYF. But Nashua DCYF does NOT consider grandparent's or other relatives. They would lose money if he were placed with family. When you are finally considered for placement, the Nashua Supervisor falsifies paperwork and the child's family is allowed a half-assed home study. DCYF claims the relatives were given a home study to show them why they can't have custody, yet e-mails sent by Concord DCYF show the home study is being given for placement. How corrupt is this? DCYF, CASA, Austin's psychologist, the head of the childrens home and the court's are well aware of what Austin want's. Everyone testified in court Austin want's to be with us, but since when does anyone work toward the best interest's of a child? We did nothing wrong. Austin was first placed with us by the Nashua PD. Staying with us was a court ordered placement, against the wishes of DCYF's 2nd lying Lawyer, who had the Judge sign a motion to modify fourteen day's later, stating Austin's Aunt couldn't be around him. This was after the same Judge okayed his placement, knowing his Aunt lived with us. We were given fifteen minutes to comply with the motion. Just enough time for me to get home.
Austin will never forget the nightmare he went through that day. He will never trust. Especially not DCYF and probably not the Police, as they were ones who dragged him out of the house kicking and screaming. Now my whole neighborhood knows how corrupt DCYF is. The rest of you had better wake up to this corruption. Your children could be next!

Pfizer Accused of Experimenting on Kids

Pfizer Accused of Experimenting on Kids
posted by: Jessica Pieklo 12 hours ago


The Supreme Court gave a rare hit to private businesses when it declined to take up a case against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. The suit alleges the drug company conducted nonconsensual drug testing on over 200 Nigerian children, some of whom died as a result of the tests. The suit was filed under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) which grants federal judges the ability to hear civil lawsuits filed by non-US citizens for violations of the "law of nations". By declining to hear Pfizer's appeal and entertain its argument that it cannot be sued in an American court for these claims the Supreme Court has allowed the matter to move forward to trial.

According to the complaint, in 2006 Pfizer employees, working with Nigerian officials, recruited 200 sick children during a viral outbreak in Kano, Nigeria in order to test a new product. Half of the children recruited were given Trovan, an experimental drug never tested on children. The other half of the recruits received a Food and Drug Administration-approved antibiotic.

While Trovan had never before been tested on children, it had been tested on animals, and those clinical trials showed the drug had life-threatening side effects. But according to the complaint, Pfizer never advised the children or their guardians about those lethal side-effects, nor did Pfizer ever advise the recruits that the relief group Doctors Without Borders was providing a "conventional and effective treatment" for the virus, free of charge, at the very same hospital.

Plaintiffs of the suit are surviving children of the drug experiments and relatives of the children who died. The children who survived the experiments were left deaf, blind, paralyzed, or brain damaged. Normally such claims would be filed in Nigeria, the location of the drug experiments, but attorneys for the plaintiffs argue that Nigerian courts are too corrupt and only the American court system can adequately bring Pfizer to justice. Pfizer has denied that the Nigeria experiments were conducted without the consent and knowledge of the children and their guardians and want the case thrown out of court because, according to Pfizer, the drug experiments are not a specific violation of international law and thus not covered under the Alien Tort Statute.

And Pfizer is fighting this case hard, arguing that the Alien Tort Statute should not be read to allow these kinds of claims. Pfizer's issued statement claims that suits like these are in reality a discriminatory tax on American companies who do business abroad.

But the lawyers for the Nigerian children see it a little differently, arguing that multinational corporations should not get to hide behind jurisdictional arguments if they prey on the vulnerable. Quite simply, Pfizer wasn't engaged in any legitimate international commerce during these experiments, so to call ATS suits a "tax" on business is really something else.

Shortly after the US suit was filed Nigerian officials filed their own lawsuit which Pfizer agreed to settle last year. In that case Pfizer announced it would pay a $75 million settlement in exchange for the dismissal of all civil and criminal charges filed in Nigeria. The settlement purportedly also establishes a fund to benefit the children involved in the drug experiments.

It's doubtful that Pfizer would have engaged in similar behavior in the United States, and the positioning by the Supreme Court means a settlement is just as likely as a trial as Pfizer will want to keep as much of these events out of the mainstream American press as possible. But it does serve as an important marker for those trying to protect the most vulnerable from what seems like never-ending abuses from the private sector.
