WATCH your back
This message hopefully will serve to help make parents more aware of what may be more common than most want to believe about the doctor or pediatrician you choose to take care of your children. Here is what happened this week with a local mother who was using a "supposedly" well known and respected doctor for her son who happened to be diabetic.
Over the past several months this mom, who was using one such physician in the Dallas, TX area kept having CPS called on her right after she would take her son in for a check-up monitoring and treating him for diabetes. She couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, the local CPS agency is not an aggressive family destructive unit, or this family would have been destroyed, as is so common for several northern counties, particularly, Tarrant, Parker, Denton, and Collin counties, Dallas county has gotten better in the last few months, but the physician in Dallas apparently, is still working "for" CPS reporting parents and their children who have done nothing wrong so the agencies can keep their flow of government money rolling in.
This Mother "got smart". She went to a local pharmacy and purchased a brand new, one of the latest and best models of diabetic testing meters presently on the market and started testing her son and recording the results. She "KEPT" her receipt of purchase with her. Every time in the recent months she would take the child in to this doctor, the doctor was telling her the child's sugar was "way too high" and just ream her out! She was telling the doctor that the checks she was doing at home were good and her son was doing well. This doctor wouldn't accept anything she was saying and was calling CPS after "every" visit claiming or reporting her as "medically neglectful of her son" and deliberately not properly caring for her son. Of course, we all know what that translated into - a visit by CPS.
On this day, the mother using the brand new state of the art meter she had purchased, checked her son's blood sugar within minutes of being called back to see the doctor, recorded the results which were what they should be. Once again, soon as they were called back to the patient room, Mom used her new meter and checked the boy's sugar level right in front of the nurse and once again the result was what it was supposed to be. The doctor had sent in another nurse to check the boy's sugar level with "his" meter unit. When the doctor then came into the patient room, he informed the mother that the child's sugar level was "way too high" and once again proceeded to just ream her out.
This time, she was prepared and called his hand on it. She asked the nurse to come into the room who had witnessed and watched her test her son's blood before the doctor entered the room or had "his" test done. She also presented her "new meter and purchase receipt" and informed him of the tests she had performed in the presence of that nurse right there in his office, and then asked him WHY was his test reading so high when hers with the new meter was reading normal. She then asked him was he telling her that her brand new state of the art meter was wrong?
He turned quite red in the face and replied "He had mis-read the results". The numbers he claimed and the numbers of the actual result were not even close, so NO he did NOT mis-read it. He was "deliberately" reporting this family to CPS for the purpose of increasing or trying to "give" CPS a case against them.
He was caught red handed!
That incident now begs the question and an investigation as to "how many" families has this doctor reported to CPS to help them start "unjustified and unwarranted" cases in the DFW metro and north Texas who uses physicians in the metroplex? I have a feeling that number would be quite shocking!
I am working with this family to help them "expose" this doctor and clinic as well as file the documents into their CPS records to prevent any further investigation into the matter. Mom is going to insist that this "quack" doctor sign a statement admitting his "wrongful reporting with incorrect information" to CPS. She also got the witnessing nurse to put the info into the records at the clinic and give her a copy of that report for her records and to present copy to CPS locally.
I don't anticipate any further investigation by the local CPS. I know most of the caseworkers and supervisors and they do abide by the law here and are not so aggressive and family destructive.
The matter is "not" yet resolved so far as that physician is concerned.
There is going to be complaints filed against him with the state medical board. Wouldn't it be nice if he lost his license to practice?
We are working with the family now to get the child under the care of a local doctor, rather than this so-called pediatric diabetic "specialist".
Moms, Dads, IF you are having problems with your child's doctor reporting you to CPS, take a hard and close look at the situation. Take whatever steps necessary to "bust" those doctors for their mal-practice! It really makes us wonder just how many cases, how many families has this (*^%^%&*) so-called doctor filed false reports on that ultimately destroyed the family or caused harm?
As soon as I can get the information on this doctor, name, clinic where he practices, etc, I will post that information. In the meantime, BEWARE -- he is in the Dallas, TX area.

Proposed Bill Would Change Child Questioning Procedures in Abuse Cases
Proposed Bill Would Change Child Questioning Procedures in Abuse Cases on KFYR-TV North Dakota's NBC News Leader
Child abuse is one of the most terrible crimes a parent could commit, but some parents are falsely accused and may need more protections. So, lawmakers introduced a bill to address that.
However, many people who deal with the issue on a regular basis are afraid the legislation would jeopardize the safety of victims.
The House Human Services Committee discussed a bill today that would change the way victims under the age of 15 are questioned.
Legislators are considering a bill which would require the parents of suspected child abuse victims to be given the opportunity to be present during their child`s questioning with investigators.
Under current law, authorities don`t have to notify parents until after the interview is completed.
Opponents packed into the committee room to express their concerns. Representatives from law enforcement, social services, state`s attorneys and judges say things are fine the way they are and parents are protected.
"They have the resources to hire an attorney to represent them. And then they have the full rights under state statute and the constitution to protect them. Children don`t have that," said Jim Vukelic, former judge and prosecutor.
Supporters of the legislation say this bill is about protecting parents who are falsely accused.
Rep. Robin Weisz, R-Hurdsfield said: "The deck is stacked against them, from the standpoint if you have a social worker who is technically neutral, so the courts give high precedence to anything they say and under the assumption they`re only looking out for the child, and they will tend to discount testimony from other experts who testify on behalf of the the parents."
Opponents say the legislation would do more harm than good.
"The forensic interview is supposed to be a neutral environment to allow the child to tell their story," said Paula Condol with Dakota Children`s Advisory Center. "Having a parent in the room will influence the entire process."
Opponents say the legislation would also have a negative economic impact, especially for social services in rural areas.

Rick Casey: Judge's adoption express had one final run
Rick Casey: Judge's adoption express had one final run | Rick Casey | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
This time Juvenile District Judge Pat Shelton and CPS may get away with it.
As regular readers know, Shelton was stopped by a higher court last week from paving the way for the adoption of a pair of twins by foster parents while a home study of relatives who wanted to adopt them was under way.
But last Wednesday — two days later and two days before he stepped down from the bench - Shelton granted a fast-track adoption of a baby to foster parents over the objections of lawyers for the mother's aunt and uncle, who also wanted to adopt.
On both occasions, the babies' mothers wanted their aunts and uncles to adopt. And in both cases the aunt and uncle appeared well-qualified.

Is a child born bad or do they become so?
Is a child born bad or do they become so?
It has been asked, "Is a child born bad or do they become so?"
Is it nature or nurture?
I, myself, do not believe a child is born bad, however I have seen things that have led me to question that position. On the other hand, I have witnessed a perfectly healthy child become bad, on a number of occasions through the interference of the CPS ( Child Protection System ).
There was a time when necessity was the mother of the invention; that of the Child Protection System.
However, be it through much better communications, more research performed by parents and about to become parents, and many standards that have been imposed by law, the necessity of the CPS has become less of a necessity and more of an anxiety, in our society today.
If a child is beaten, starved of food, clothing, a decent place to live and sleep, I believe such things are within the purview and necessity of the Child Protection System, and indeed they should act. However, when superiors command their subordinates to find fault with a family over trivialities and invented causes, the entire system becomes counter productive to that for which it was originally founded.
Some claim it is a communist plot, with the State imposing itself to the extent that families live in fear of their mighty autocracy. Others claim they once had an extreme necessity in our midst, but that necessity has diminished but the system still grows to serve itself.
Whatever your opinion, it is a well based fact that the CPS in Canada, as well as in the United States is now exaggerating its' importance.
Reports have alleged that field agents of the CPS are overworked and have filled out fraudulent reports to cover themselves, because they claim to be overworked.
When their superiors hunker down and demand these workers spend a majority of their time chasing shadows rather than tending to real cases, it's no wonder these field agents find themselves so overworked.
Recently, a case has come across my desk, where a child in the kinship care of her grandmother accused grandmother of grabbing her coat collar. The workers panicked and sprung into action, removing the child from the grandmother's home, alleging an escalation of violence. When one person grabs another's coat collar, is that really child abuse? Can the grandmother really be charged with assault?
Further, the child has repeatedly lied to the CPS in the past. Can what she now claims be accepted, on its' face as truth? The CPS agent claims they investigated and further claim the grandmother did grab the child by the coat collar. Their investigative technique- "They asked the child if this happened". When the child repeated her tale, the worker claimed this was verification. So much for investigative technique.
Apparently this grandmother had kinship custody of her granddaughter, under a supervision order by the agency. So where was this supervision when this alleged attack took place? If this was evidence of growing tension and escalating events in the grandmother's household, then why didn't CPS step in and try to work with the grandmother and granddaughter to try and diffuse the situation?
Where were they and their high and mighty supervision?
In truth, in reality, and as a matter of fact, the CPS is no more than a glorified policing agency, least concerned with protecting children and moreover concerned with condemning parents. However, unlike other policing agencies, there seems insufficient oversight and control of this agency to grant the god given rights of every parent, as proclaimed in the United States Constitution and Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The CPS is a practical example of people doing all the wrong things for allegedly all the right reasons. But when the dust settles, at the end of the millennium, how will our children and our children's children fare in this very oppressive environment?
Through the use of perception, just about everything can be made to seem unlawful, unholy and even just plain wrong. I guess that's why there are so countless many law books in a lawyer's office. And a jaunt through the family courts can reveal the grand pomp and circumstance, displaying that which may seem like royalty, amidst the hallowed halls of great institutions. In Family Court, much of this is merely masquerade, to cover up a host of improprieties, indiscretions and the violation of even the most sacred of our tenets.
And so, with so many families being necessarily subjected to the onslaught of oppression, and so many children being funneled through the system, how many of them will turn out, "BAD", and how many of them will be able to attribute that to the mismanagement, mishandling and just plain old abuse of the system?
How many Jeffrey Dahmers, David Berkowitzs, Ted Bundies, and Charles Mansons will society have to deal with, in the future, because of indignations through the Child Protection System?
Charles Manson was quoted as saying, "The System made me what I am!"
Through the Child Protection System, this could be quite plausible.
What of the collateral damage to the friends and families of the victims as well as the perpetrators, who must suffer, as a result of this Child Protection System allegedly protecting children from abuse and neglect- where such abuse and neglect is more a matter of perception and perspective than a matter of fact?
And finally, what does it take to make it, as a caseworker for the Child Protection System?
Is there any special bread or qualification to become such a blight on our society?
If child protection workers find it necessary to lie, cheat, and manipulate their way through cases, just to substantiate their own existence, then what possible good can be derived from their very existence?
