Social workers charged with child abuse in case involving torture killing of Gabriel Fernandez - LA Times:
Four social workers have been charged with child abuse and falsifying public records in the case of the torture death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez in 2012.
In a rare criminal case filing against social workers, Los Angeles County prosecutors allege that the social workers minimized "the significance of the physical, mental and emotional injuries that Gabriel suffered... [and] allowed a vulnerable boy to remain at home and continue to be abused."

DCF responds to allegations aimed at agency by father on hunger strike
DCF responds to allegations aimed at agency by father on hunger strike | CJOnline.com:
The Kansas Department for Children and Families on Tuesday countered a man’s allegations that his children haven’t been returned to his care because he has used medical marijuana by stating his accusations are false........................
Determining whether an allegation is true is separate from a recommendation to remove children from the home, said Theresa Freed, communications director for DCF. Though an unsubstantiated finding that doesn’t lead to a parent getting their child back may be confusing, Freed said, substantiated findings account for only 4 percent of the removals the agency handles.
My Comment: Why are children NATIONWIDE being taken from their parent's when the findings are UNSUBSTANTIATED?

Lawyers: Privacy shields DCYF in sex abuse case
Lawyers: Privacy shields DCYF in sex abuse case | New Hampshire:
CONCORD — Attorneys representing the adoptive parents of two children who were victims in a highly publicized Claremont sexual abuse case argued before the state Supreme Court that a lawsuit they plan to file should be filed in public court, to shed light on the way the case was handled by child protection agencies.
My comment: I agree the children's names should be redacted, but Atty. Capace is right. The secrecy in Family Court IS most definitely a shield to protect DCYF and CASA AND Family Court Judges.As I was once told by a Former DCYF worker, "DCYF can do whatever they want, because our Government gave them the power to do so." There is no transparency or accountability within DCYF and Family Court. No checks and balances. Anything goes. People would be shocked if they knew what really goes on behind the doors of the "Secret" Courts.It's way past time to "Open" the NH "Secret" Family Court's. Maybe under watchful eyes Government mandates will be followed and innocent families won't be railroaded. Maybe then only the truly abused children will be "Saved" and the unabused children will be left with their INNOCENT families.Why should anyone do the jobs they're paid to do when they aren't held accountable for their negligence?

Austin, What are You Waiting For?
Austin, you were STOLEN from us on February 3rd, 2006 when you were six years old. You are now sixteen and we still haven't heard from you. Why? Were you told we didn't want you? Were you told we didn't love you? Were you told we didn't fight for you? Have you been brainwashed into thinking these things are true? None of them are true!
We did everything in our power to bring you home, after you were ILLEGALLY removed from our house. We petitioned the Court for custody, not once, but several times. We were told to be at the Court to be heard and then denied the right to be heard. We tried to intervene, only to be told we had "No standing." Actually we DID have standing as you were living in our home!
Hopefully, you read my blog and you realize all the fraud that was used to keep you from us.
We were never given a Home Inspection when you and your sister were placed with us. That was ILLEGAL. There was NO Court Order or Warrant to take you from our home. There was never a Hearing as to why you were taken. We were never given the chance to speak up.
You were drugged, supposedly diagnosed with ADHD, just to keep you in line. They were hoping you would forget us. Now I'm wondering if you did.
You cried for Grampie every day. We cried for you also. Our lives have been turned upside down. Life just isn't the same without you. We go to sleep at night looking at your picture, wondering if you're ok.. We wake up in the morning looking at your picture, praying you'll come home.You have new cousins who can't wait to meet you and a new stepfather.
You told the orphanage all you wanted was to be with us. In fact, you told everyone that, but you were worth more money to them in Foster care. Money means more to the State than a child's happiness. They didn't care what hell they put you through, as long as they got their money!
I know you must be on the Internet and I'm sure people you know have seen my blog. You probably read it yourself. I hope you don't believe the lies you've been told. All stolen children are fed lies about their REAL families, in hopes that you won't try to go home.
Grampie and I are getting older. We would like nothing more than for you to contact us. We tried to sell the house so we would have the money to fight for you and your cousin Isabella. That didn't work out, so we decided to stay here and wait for you and Isabella to come home. I even have the same car, hoping you would see me one day driving and stop me.
Please Austin, contact us. We love and miss you and worry about you all the time.
Love Always and Forever,
Grammie and Grampie, Mommy and your ENTIRE REAL FAMILY!

Another Unhappy Grammy Denied Placement of Her Grandson Angel by CPS of Monterey County, Ca.
Kathrine Lester, aka Kathrine Rosas Regarding the placement of my Grandson Angels case
It is a long heart wrenching story where it began, my adult daughter, my only child is a heroin addict... We had tried to help her. Had her in many rehabs to no avail. She is still strung out on heroin, so I had to let go and let GOD...... So she is homeless, living in the streets of Salinas, CA, County of Monterey. I worked for Social Security for twelve years and a registered process server for eight years, no criminal record of any sort. Not even speeding tickets, because I was a federal employee, my fingerprints are registered by the FBI.
Recently a horrible case broke out of the same County that lies to deny me placement and need protesters to come with me at the next hearing, I am attaching the Stories to that recent case and a copy of a lawsuit I found wherein the very social worker that denied me was named as a Defendant in a Wrongful death case yet she was not FIRED FROM THAT OLD CASE WHERE A BABY DIED ON HER WATCH...

THE LONG STORY SHORT
I got a call at work one day from my daughter, "MOM I AM PREGNANT". My heart sunk to my stomach as I knew of her addiction... I said to her, "what are you going to do", meaning about the pregnancy. I am going to have it MOM.... I then said, " well you have great insurance", as she was still covered under my federal insurance. I told her she needed to get to the OBGYN and be seen and get the proper prenatal care, so she did that.... I also said to her, " you will also need to get into an in patient rehab," as it was not healthy for her to be living in the streets in our homeless district, better known as China Town. She said she would. About two weeks went by. She was not in rehab, but was going to the doctor. I then called the Doctor, spoke to the head nurse, explained the background and my concerns. The nurse said she would let the doctor know.... So her next visit of course, the doctor asked her. Sadly she never went back to the doctor or a rehab.....
I, in my effort to protect my unborn grandson, called cps and local police and was told by BOTH, there was nothing they could do because he wasn't born yet. I said, " but this is child endangerment." They said again nothing they could do.... So I started doing research and found the Marchman Act out of the state of Florida and thought I could bring it here to California.... I got a local reporter to help. We went to the Capitol. Shot down there too as they said it would take two plus years to even attempt to bring this into California .....
My Grandson is born, cps gets involved, denies me placement, citing not level headed and that I threatened them.... All hearsay. I did not threaten them, but did mention I would file a lawsuit against them as they were not following their own policy and procedure and I seen the agency saying untrue statements regarding my daughter, because she was finally in a rehab and trying to do all that she was told to do. In some of those cases, the Social workers were stating untrue events. I seen that and called them on that. Fifteen days later I was sent a denial of placement.... They did not do their part via their own policy which was to do a life scan on me and a homecheck. I earned about 90 K a year, had a 3,000 sq foot home on four acres, where my Grandson would have thrived and I would have adopted him and protected him....
If you need further information please let me know,
Respectfully,
Kathrine

While much of the attention in this legislative session has been turned toward the budget, there was a major step forward for children with the passage of Senate Bill 40, which will finally lift the veil of secrecy in some child abuse and neglect cases in Kentucky.
