Hi, this is Ty and he was "legally" kidnapped by CPS on January 1, 2005. To view his photo log, please visit http://abolishcpsnow.blogspot.com/ As his mother, I will continue praying and fighting until he is returned home. To see what you can do to help put an end to family and juvenile court injustice, please visit www.squidoo.com/abolishcps/. There are several petitions that you can sign and a host of additional information. Working together we can end the abuse of power, lack of employee accountability, and remove the umbrella of immunity that shields their deliberate and intentional felony acts! If you feel that the decision to remove your children was based on race, please reflect on the beautiful and encouraging words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that ‘unarmed’ … truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” IF YOU HAVE A PERSONAL STORY TO SHARE, PLEASE SEND TO: victimizedbycps@hotmail.com.

Message to the United Nations

Attention: Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)

It is my strong suggestion that all members of the OHCHR reread your Preamble and the articles listed below and set forth in your comprehensive body of human rights law, which the United Nations has gone on record as having stated that the creation of its human rights law is one of its greatest achievements. Now that “the law” has been created, it is time for the United Nations to enforce its law … as well as other great laws which are repeatedly and consistently being trampled on … for example, the civil and constitutional laws that should govern our judicial, administrative, and legislative authorities. Having stated the above, I have made your jobs a little easier – here is your Preamble and several important articles:

Considering that, in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Recognizing that, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of free human beings enjoying civil and political freedom and freedom from fear and want can only be achieved if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his civil and political rights, as well as his economic, social and cultural rights,

Article 1: 1 All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. [Child Protective Services (CPS) has destroyed our ability to pursue economic, social, and our children’s cultural development. Our lives have been completely destroyed based on hearsay, biased third-party testimony, uncontested allegations, and complete and utter fabrication]

Article 2: 1 Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to respect and to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the present Covenant, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. [It is my personal opinion that CPS is fueled by bigotry, racism, and profit]

3 (a) To ensure that any person whose rights or freedoms as herein recognized are violated shall have an effective remedy, notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity; [What is an effective remedy for parents that have lost their most loved and treasured children? Furthermore, when crimes against children and innocent parents are committed by persons acting in an “official capacity” i.e. local police officers, juvenile court judges, attorneys for the state, and social workers protected by immunity, what is the effective remedy?]

3(b) To ensure that any person claiming such a remedy shall have his right thereto determined by competent judicial, administrative or legislative authorities, or by any other competent authority provided for by the legal system of the State, and to develop the possibilities of judicial remedy; [EMPHASIS ON “COMPETENT” … If this article is suggesting the “competent” attorneys assigned to parents by the state, employed and working for the very county that has perpetrated these heinous crimes against innocent, often law abiding citizens, I see a CLEAR conflict of interest!!! Might I suggest an independent review board, with members from the Federal Bureau of Investigations and/or the UN]

(c) To ensure that the competent authorities shall enforce such remedies when granted. [Until you strip away child protective services ability to shield their blatant and intentional felony acts under their umbrella of immunity and start holding these “professionals” accountable for their criminal actions, nothing will change]

Article 7 No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In particular, no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation. [to remove a mother’s child from her nurturing arms, to strip a child from his parents care and from his family, to place a child in the home of strangers – especially, considering how critical our currents times are, often refusing to allow parent-to-child contact by phone or in person, removing a child from their school, friends, community, and family … stripping the child of all cultural and family ties, administering psychotropic drugs on children in order to numb the pain of being torn, often needlessly, from their families … and completely altering the child’s chosen path in life is BEYOND cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment or punishment!!!]

Article 8: 1 No one shall be held in slavery; slavery and the slave-trade in all their forms shall be prohibited.

Article 9: 1 Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedure as are established by law. [Children being held in foster incarceration ARE being unlawfully detained!!! Where is their right to be heard? Why are they not allowed to speak out in court and vehemently contest, if old enough to know the difference between right and wrong, the lies being told by social workers and other “authoritative” figures? Especially, when they are allegedly "quoting" the child]

Article 9.4 Anyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings before a court, in order that court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of his detention and order his release if the detention is not lawful. [Why are children allowed to be detained by the very agency that is being paid to “build a case” against their parents – this, I feel, is also a conflict of interest. If child protective services is paid to “protect” children, then a separate agency should be paid to preserve the family unit and to reunify children expeditiously with their biological families. As a matter of fact, children should not be pulled from their homes unless the state has grounds to charge parents with a crime! It is simply deplorable that CPS can go into a home, terrorize a family, traumatize children for life, based on “allegations” or just their gut feeling. They can then walk into a juvenile courtroom, dressed as the “professionals” they ARE NOT, and submit a bunch of lies and their hunches to a juvenile court judge, who simply signs their works of fiction into law?? Does this make sense to anyone … because it sure DOES NOT to me??!!]

Article 10.1 All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person. [Before CPS can accurately spell your name, they have sized you up! You are not deserving of respect, what they feel about you will be shared with your neighbors, co-workers, and extended family members]

Article 14.2: 2 Everyone charged with a criminal offence shall have the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law. [NOT IN JUVENILE COURT!!! What the social worker says is LAW!!! And unless you have about $100,000 to prove your innocence, you ARE NOT getting your kids back]

Article 14.3.(e) To examine, or have examined, the witnesses against him and to obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses on his behalf under the same conditions as witnesses against him; [I think this would fall under the category of due process, correct me if I’m wrong. Yeah, I’m right – Due process does not exist in juvenile court. Your case is not decided by a judge and jury of your peers – but by an under qualified social worker with a God complex. The social worker, it appears, actually has more authority than the guy in the robe holding the gavel. In juvenile “justice” an MSW DEFINITELY trumps a JD – NOT the other way around]

Article 15: 1 No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time when the criminal offence was committed. If, subsequent to the commission of the offence, provision is made by law for the imposition of the lighter penalty, the offender shall benefit thereby. [Where does the term “neglect” fit into this scenario? Because although there is no criminal offence committed 99.9% of the time, in juvenile court, the heavier penalty will ALWAYS apply – you lose your children! Perhaps the UN should modify its human rights law to include an additional article which addresses parents losing their children due to dirty dishes, an untidy house, “failure to protect” … which often means the boyfriend or husband disciplined the child NOT the mother]

Article 17.1 No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his honour and reputation. [Unlawful interference with privacy, family, home … attacks on his honor and reputation ... boy oh boy, members of the OHCHR you had better act now!!! CPS is in constant and clear violation of this article – but I guess immunity also protects them from crimes against humanity and your human rights laws. After all, if they are allowed to violate constitutional and civil laws, what are a few articles written by your committee members]

Article 17.2 Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks. [If this is true, who will be courageous enough to step up to the plate and save our children and innocent families – Castro, Kim Jong ll, or some leader from the Middle East?]

Article 18: 1 Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right shall include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice, and freedom, either individually or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.

Article 23: 1 The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. [So why is our government along with world leaders allowing the senseless destruction of this fundamental and natural unit?]

Article 27 In those States in which ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right, in community with the other members of their group, to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practice their own religion, or to use their own language. [When little children of color are taken from their homes, families, and communities … where is their right to enjoy their own culture, practice their own religion, or to use their own language – even if it is Ebonics!!!]
