Broken bonds: When the state severs family ties
Broken bonds: When the state severs family ties : Times Argus Online:
Annette Thornhill is putting money aside for her Amtrak fare and a hotel room so that she can journey north to celebrate her grandson’s third birthday on April 8.
The child is Thornhill’s son’s son.
“I want to bring him his present,” she said of the trip she must make from New York City to Rutland. “I want him to know me.”
The thing is, as of Feb. 4, the Rutland family court terminated her son’s parental rights.
Now Thornhill must visit the baby she bathed after birth and nuzzled to sleep at his Rutland foster home, as long as the toddler’s foster mother gives her permission to see him.
According to the Vermont Department for Children and Families Commissioner Ken Schatz, there is little recourse for grandmothers and extended family once parental rights are removed.

It Does Not Take a Village to Raise a Child!!!!!
The federal government is seeking to create a new bureaucracy that would intervene in family life and could even see state-appointed monitors conduct routine home visits to assess a child’s well-being.
The U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has published a draft document which outlines a plan that will treat families as “equal partners” in the raising of children, opening the door for government intrusion at all levels.

Hassan to seek no-bid contract for DCYF review
Hassan to seek no-bid contract for DCYF review | New Hampshire:
Brielle Gage, 3, of Nashua, died of blunt-force trauma in 2014. Hers is one of the cases that has drawn criticism of child protection services in New Hampshire.
Four months after announcing plans to do so, Gov. Maggie Hassan has yet to initiate an independent, comprehensive review of the state's much-criticized child protection services system.
My comment just in case it disappears from the UL: Thank you Senator Boutin and the Commission for setting up an independent DCYF Review, which has been badly needed for years. I hope the review goes back far enough to show the DCYF cases where many children were never harmed, physically or mentally, but were taken any way. Where parent's with criminal charges of child endangerment were dropped in Criminal Court because evidence proving innocence was allowed into Court. Evidence denied in Family Court by the same Judge and the children never returned, sent off to strangers and adopted out. And the cases where new Mother's were reported to DCYF after they requested their child be moved to another hospital, after the child was switched with another child and all security removed from the baby. Mother's given morphine in labor and then being accused of using illegal drugs that spilled into the newborn. Relatives never allowed placement, after the DCYF Lawyer relayed an already "Proven" false report to the Judge. The Mother's charged with "Anticipated" Neglect in the future, because as we all know, DCYF hires psychic's when they don't have a clue. Oh and Father's who were never contacted by DCYF or the Court's when it came time to terminate their right's, terminating the rights of faux pas father's and denying paternity testing of the Father's who came forward.And yes Pamela, in many cases DCYF DOES take children without cause. I took Foster classes also and I know exactly what Foster's are told. DCYF works at pitting Foster stranger against parent. At least that's how it was when Maggie Bishop was at the helm. Our Legislature is doing an excellent job of making badly needed changes within DCYF. And of course the Judges have no concern about DCYF because they all work together. Bias at at it's best.
