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.

Secrecy in the Juvenile Dependency Courts by Diane Booth

The Mondale Act of 1974 was the communist manifesto for American children and families. The road of good intentions to protect children from “abuse” was paved with quicksand. Children, ripped from falsely-accused parents, fall into the quagmire of institutionalization and subsequent abuse by the State. The question is, was this pre-meditated trafficking in children by agents of the State? Or was it just an ill-conceived experiment gone tragically wrong? Facts point to the former. Prosecutors in criminal cases don’t believe in circumstantial “coincidences.” Why should we? Hindsight and investigation uncovers too many simultaneous events and sinister ramifications of Child Protective Services (CPS) modus operandi and its connects to liberals with an agenda who created this monster. The most obvious clue pointing to the ‘acting together by design’ is the secrecy in the juvenile dependency courts and the collaboration with the so-called helping professions, i.e., teachers, psychiatrists, social workers and the pharmaceutical companies. Zoe Lofgren, (D) San Jose, helped to write these laws while working as an Aide to former FBI and Congressman Don Edwards (D), whose son, Leonard, was the supervising Juvenile Dependency Court judge in California. Rob Reiner held conferences with Judge Edwards, who solicited money from Hollywood for his agenda. (He recently resigned simultaneously with Rob Reiner who is being investigated for misuse of public funds). Coincidence? I don’t think so.

In 1998 a conference was held by the National Institute of Health (NIH) to determine what constitutes the newly-manufactured “disorder” of ADHD in children. Although no brain abnormalities have ever been proven, symptoms and causes were discussed, and the remedy for noncompliant children and their parents was planned. This phenomenon started in the United States but is quickly spreading to other nations. All of a sudden, what used to be considered normal childhood behavior is now defined as a “mental disorder.” Psychiatry, whose bread and butter is fed by the pharmaceutical industry, determined that children with “ADHD” may be “victims” of parental abuse.*

What is the cure according to them? Drugs are peddled to children apprehended by CPS at billions in profit to the beneficiaries: the psychiatry industry and all involved in the apprehension of these children by CPS.

Who benefits? The teacher, having a Union job, (the union dues funding liberal political campaigns) can discard any child she finds irritating by reporting “abuse” to CPS which gets billions of dollars in federal funding – your tax dollars. Affirmative Action creates jobs called “social workers” for minorities who claim to be shut out of the private sector due to “discrimination” but who, in fact, simply lack education and skills. Twenty-year-olds with no children of their own, no college education, some of whom can barely even speak English, are now given authority with impunity as social workers to remove your child from your home at their whim. Scary? You bet!

Psychiatry gets a steady flow of lifetime paying Medicaid clients. Juvenile Dependency judges, and a very select few lawyers, get an easy regular paycheck. The adoption and foster care industry also feed at the public trough, making this a multi-billion dollar industry paid for by you.

Who loses? An entire generation of intelligent children are exploited, institutionalized and indoctrinated by the State with the gay and anti-Christian agenda. The family unit is destroyed to make way for gay marriage and pedophiles who want to adopt your beautiful child. Some children languish in institutions to be exploited and severely abused and neglected, and they are not allowed contact with the outside world. All this is done in strict secrecy.

How does this happen? Parents can be deemed “abusers” for any reason. Actual abuse by parents is never proven in a criminal court. Not submitting to the State by giving your child a dangerous drug that has already killed at least 51 children, according to the FDA, can be labeled “abuse.” Teaching your child about Jesus can be determined “abuse.”

Enter the Juvenile Dependency Courts. These thugs discovered a gold mine. They operate entirely in secrecy. They are not held accountable for any violation of our Constitution. They destroy evidence, cover up evidence and use hearsay alone as evidence. Gag orders are put on parents and the media. All court documents are held top secret. Why? So they can get away with trafficking, drugging and even murder of children. If the liberals have no conscience about abortion, why would they feel any remorse about exploiting or killing your children? They don’t. Juvenile Dependency Court judges hold conferences and solicit money from Hollywood. Why would Hollywood be involved? There is a huge market for trafficking in children for pedophiles. Under the guise of “charity” for “troubled children,” foundations are set up as money laundering activities to operate trafficking in children from children’s shelters and “mental health” institutions. This is what was behind Rob Reiner’s push for pre-schools. The sooner the thugs get access to your children, the better, according to them. I thank the California voters for defeating Reiner’s plot.

How can we stop this? By writing to your state legislator and demanding the immediate repeal of the Mondale Act and requesting an FBI investigation into this pedophile ring of criminal authorities. Prosecute these gangsters under RICO. Support President Bush’s move to impeach activist judges who support this trafficking in children. Tell Congress to write a fair and sensible child abuse law whereby the accused parents have a fair and public trial by jury in the criminal courts where it belongs. End the cloak of secrecy by dismantling these Juvenile Dependency Courts as soon as possible.

If a California state legislator determines that child pornography is okay, and if a 9th Circuit Judge determines that parents have no right to object to what is being taught to their children in school, do you need any further evidence? Be aware that your child can be removed from your home on hearsay at any time without a court order, without an investigation and without a warrant. Juvenile Dependency Courts have free reign to ignore our civil rights. Once your child is removed, you may never even be able to contact them again, let alone see them. This is all done in total secrecy. A simple Google search will verify all the aforementioned statements.

Modern Day Lynching -- It is no Longer Rope but our Heartstrings We Dangle By!

[Just because I Can – Cold Hearted (W)itches!!!]

Diana Ross, a Black woman from Massachusetts, raising two boys as a single mother -- lost her two children, Kyle and Damien, to the Department of Social Services (DSS) on allegations of “neglect.” Older brother Kyle, then four years old would wander away from home which led to previous clashes with DSS over similar incidents, according to published reports.

DSS would eventually separate the siblings placing then two-year-old Damien with male domestic partners; and four-year-old Kyle with Linda McNeil and her ‘boyfriend’ Eddie Finklea, Jr. Ms. Ross expressed her displeasure with the departments decision to place Damien with two gay men but was told that she has “no say in the matter.” The young mother assured the public that she will definitely have the boys checked out at a hospital for molestation immediately after getting them back from DSS. This amidst reports that a gay foster parent, in a neighboring county, had been arrested for raping two boys in his custody … just one month prior.

While in the states care, four-year-old Kyle did what most children have or will do … and what he had done previously while living at home, under his mother’s care – he “wandered” outside the foster home … but this time into the unlocked pen of the couples Rottweiller, who mauled him to death.

Ms. Ross devastated and distraught, naturally, clinched a photo of Kyle after receiving the horrific news of his death. She tearfully held the photo of her little boy while regrettably remembering a promise to him that she would “get him home.”

In what I feel was no more than retaliation because Ms. Ross filed suit against the dog’s owner and DSS for the wrongful death of her son and emotional distress, DSS would later seize her newborn son Aaron, shortly after his birth TWO YEARS LATER! According to several sources, the “legalized” kidnapping of little Aaron was orchestrated without a judge’s permission – which I find hard to believe, as they usually work together … hand in hand! The newborn would also be placed with the same gay couple caring for his older bother, according to news reports. As if “removing” her son Kyle for crappy reasons, and placing him in the ‘love nest’ of Linda and Eddie …where he would eventually be killed by their dog weren’t enough … they also took her newborn child years later – Wow, the beauty of Absolute Power and control without accountability!!! In what could be described as the filming of a motion picture on a Hollywood movie set, DSS agents, local police, and state police, would swarm the hospital room where Ms. Ross was celebrating the birth of her new baby and seize the child. The infant’s grandmother would later report seeing the DSS agent running from the hospital clutching the newborn, with police escort.

Foster Children Doped into Compliance

[Oppression that cannot be overcome does not give rise to revolt but to submission --Simone Weil]

It appears not only are states rewarded with incentives when they turn a blind eye to potentially life threatening physical risks to children in foster care (see: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13304867/); They are also given incentives when they request and administer psychotropic drugs to the very children that they have emotionally tormented and tortured by “removing” them from their families. Just to make sure that you understand me, let me rephrase. The state, with its Absolute Power, can remove a child from family and everyone and everything he holds near and dear … place the child in the home of strangers … and tell the child that he will never see his Mom, Dad, siblings, neighbors, and friends UNLESS his parents do everything they are told. And when the child negatively responds, naturally, to the social workers perceived threats by exhibiting signs of ‘extreme’ stress … i.e. misbehaving or simply having a “bad attitude,” the state can then turn to our government and request federal money to treat the “troubled” child with mind altering drugs. Most troubling, California and other states do not attempt to track the number of children given these drugs or if the drugs were needed to begin with. As with most things dealing with Foster Care, there are no checks and balances in place … so this too is riddled with abuse! For actual accounts of foster children forced to take Paxil, an anti-depressant, and other drugs to include Zoloff, and Resperdal, please read the news account linked to this letter.

In California when then Senator Dick Mountjoy introduced a bill which would have required the Department of Social Services to “study the administration of these drugs” being given to foster children, the bill was vehemently opposed by no other than … the California Psychiatric Association! As a matter of fact, California Rules of Court allow group homes to act as “mental health experts.” Rule 1432.5 states: “once a child is declared a dependent child of the court and is removed from the custody of the parents or guardian, only a juvenile officer is authorized to make orders regarding the administration of psychotropic medication to the child.” However, any parent that has lost a child to this corrupt and crooked system will tell you that prior to receiving the child’s complete medical history, the juvenile court Judge will agree with the social workers “professional” recommendation and subsequently issue an order that “while placed out of home, the social worker will ensure that the child receives medical care as needed …” And when a nine-year-old child, who has never spent the night away from home … and still crawls into bed most nights with his mom, shows signs of extreme stress and anxiety, the average social worker who has little to no training in medicine, pharmacology, psychiatry, or chemistry … is allowed to administer these drugs to a dependent “with or without court authorization or court delegation of authority to a parent.”

If you are wondering why dedicated, caring and concerned, social workers paid to “protect” children would engage in this gross injustice … let me share another interesting fact with you. Group homes are given anywhere between $2,000 - $6,000 plus PER FOSTER CHILD! The actual amount depends on the different types of meds they take – this is the reason child “welfare” workers are quick to label a child “troubled.” For each state, Foster Care is a BIG MONEY BUSINESS!!!

For more information and to see how children are punished, illegally might I add, for refusing the meds, click on this articles title.

Family Court Judge Shot in Nevada

[An ever Expanding Wave of Apathy]

Let me begin by saying IN NO WAY do I condone violence or the taking of a life in which one can not give … or in this case, the ‘attempted’ murder of Judge Chuck Weller. Having said that, I am utterly amazed … No, shocked and stunned by the sheer fact that this does not happen all day – everyday in the U.S.

Judge Weller, a family court judge, was shot sniper style in the chest as he stood in front of his courthouse window, according to Associated Press writer Scott Sonner. There was also speculation that the alleged shooter, Darren Roy Mack, was so determined to end Judge Weller’s reign on the bench that he planted explosives in or around the Judge’s car -- a discovery made after bomb-sniffing dogs picked up a scent in the court’s parking lot. It appears that Mack was upset, which is an understatement, that Judge Weller had recently ordered him to pay his ex-wife $10,000 per month in alimony , although he earns/earned $50,000 per month in disposable income … is the owner of several successful businesses, and has a pilots license, if reports are true. Determined to have the final word, he allegedly killed his wife before hunting down Judge Weller, according to published reports.

Worth reiterating, I do not condone violence; However, having experienced the unthinkable act of losing my first born and only child for ten years due to several felony acts committed by an officer with the Riverside California Police Department and a social worker with Child Protective Services – Metro Division, also in California … I truly understand the burning desire to ‘get even!’ Nevertheless, my faith and belief that God will “make straight” all that is crooked has prevented me from following in Mr. Mack’s footsteps. Perhaps it is faith that has also prevented the over 500,000 families torn apart by CPS and their co-conspirators from seeking their own form of justice. It shows unimaginable yet commendable restraint by those affected not to engage in a rebellion or insurrection against the corrupt authority here in the U.S. For the details of my case, please see http://abolishcps.blogspot.com/2006/06/call-to-action-my-personal-story.html.

It was reported that Judge Weller is currently recovering with his family by his side. Call me cynical, but the image of his “family by his side” is unsettling. Am I glad that he wasn’t killed … of course; but this man makes a ‘good’ living tearing families apart. So the image of his children by his hospital bed hugging and kissing him really bothers me – when so many children, including my own, are sleeping in the homes of strangers every night. Most of us are “court-ordered” to stay away from our children, unless supervised – and these visits are often restricted to once or twice a week for extremely brief intervals. As a matter of fact, I was told on April 7, 2006, that if I return to my son’s school, which I am not suppose to know what school he attends, I would be arrested. If I were shot tomorrow, would CPS bring my son to the hospital to be by my side … I think not! Better yet, God forbid my son was shot tomorrow … how soon, would it take CPS to notify me, if ever. I wrote about a mom whose daughter was raped while in foster care, but was not notified of the rape – see: http://abolishcps.blogspot.com/2006/06/spank-your-children-and-we-will-take.html.

Guess what Judge Weller and everyone else participating in the “legalized” kidnapping of OUR children … We Love Our Children Too! And although I may not have as much money as you, I was a great mom! As I am sure that so many other parents are/were. Perhaps you will think about this the next time you issue an order to “remove” another child. You are not a bank repossessing an unpaid automobile … you are not animal control picking up stray dogs and cats in the neighborhood … you are not Rent A Center picking up furniture that some down-and-out schlep was unable to continue paying for … and most importantly, you are not God!

I wish you a speedy recovery,

TMajor

Thank God for Whistle Blowers!!!

[Promise of federal money is pushing kids into dangerous adoptions]

What if I told you that states are awarded bonuses if foster children are adopted quickly?

What if I told you that two children in Kentucky were about to be adopted into a home with a convicted felon? AND, the Child Welfare ‘Supervisor’ was instructed to “shut up and get the adoptions completed?”

What if I told you that social workers are encouraged, by their superiors, to jeopardize the safety of children all in an effort to get their adoption numbers up?

What if I told you that states can earn federal bonuses for keeping “adoption numbers high” and in some states social workers are even rewarded extra vacation time?

If you find this too hard to believe, read what the “whistle blower” has to say by clicking on the title above.

It is my recommendation that investigations be launched into the criminal behavior of the social workers, their supervisors and managers, as well as juvenile court attorneys and judges. If proven they engaged in any of the following activity: violation of civil and constitutional laws, felony perjury, conspiracy and corruption, falsifying reports, racial profiling and/or discrimination, ‘their’ children should immediately be placed into foster and group homes and them sent, where all felons belong ... to prison! There should be no trial by jury, due process, or equal protection of the very laws that they knowingly violate everyday. Let’s see how they like it!

Biological Mom vs. Psychological Dad

[ALASKA’S SECRET]

Hi my name is Tonya Ryan. In October of 2000, I made plans to leave Alaska for good -- along with my six-year-old daughter who is now 11. One of the main reasons for leaving was to get away from my possessive ex-husband, Javier O. Robinson, whom I mistakenly tried to continue a friendship with after marriage. I even allowed him to baby sit my daughter, Ahshah, while I worked. Well, one day after work and after Javier had left my apartment, my daughter told me that he kept asking her questions about me -- like who comes to see your momma, what's your momma planning to do, and where is she going? Although he had been in a new relationship for about a year, he's asking my six-year-old child tons of questions! He told my child if she didn't tell him what he wanted to know he would spank her. So I talked to him and explained if he wanted to know anything about me ... ask me not her; and if I wanted to share my personal information with him, I would. He said O.K., yet he continued to question my daughter – and she would tell me every time; which made me even more determined to get away from him. He would continue to totally disrespect my wishes as her mother, regarding what’s in her best interest … and totally disrespect her by using intimidation. So while packing, selling my stuff, and preparing to leave … he deceptively misled and convinced the court and his lawyer that we shared joint custody of my daughter, and had done so since her birth -- although it is clearly stated in our divorce papers that he IS NOT the biological father of my child. That didn't seem to matter to Anchorage Alaska. Anchorage Alaska's Court system provided him with a court order prohibiting me from leaving the state of Alaska with my own child! They also named him my child's "psychological" father, even though the three of us never lived together as a family. So in Anchorage Alaska If a woman decides she doesn't want to be with a man anymore, and does not want him around her child or children, the man can simply claim "psychological father," and take your child! It does not matter that he is not the child's biological Father -- How sick is that? He not only intimidated my child but also rubbed his private area against her bottom twice ... and got away with it!

When I left Alaska, against a court order, because it was in the best interest of my child -- He simply went back to the Judge and got another court order and began trying to locate us. He eventually found out where we were, went to my child's school while I was at work, and kidnapped her from school with the assistance of police. He then put her on a plane back to Alaska, without allowing her to say bye to me or anything. Then after my child was already in the air, on her way back to Alaska with this psycho, the police came to my job and told me what had just occurred; and there was nothing I could do about it because it is Alaska's law and they couldn't interfere. So naturally, I came back to Alaska to fight for my child! I got her back after DFYS conducted an investigation and found nothing on me -- because they had no reason to keep my child, she was returned to me. And at the time we were living in a homeless shelter and the shelter refused to be a third party for us, as requested by his lawyer -- so they took my child again! But this time she was put in a foster home, for over a month. I was only allowed supervised visits with her at the DFYS office. Once I found another place to live, they returned her to me. Javier and his lawyer then went back to court and won her back! The reason given by the court was I am a “psychological threat” to her well-being -- this because they couldn't come up with anything else! I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs … I don't have a criminal or DFYS record for abuse or anything! So they had me take a psychological evaluation which is not an exact science -- which I later found out I didn't have to take, but agreed because I didn't have a lawyer to advise me of my rights. They would then use information from the evaluation, and misfortunes from my childhood to declare me a “psychological threat” to my child's well-being.

As if I had not been through enough, one of Javier's cop brothers gave me a traffic ticket which was my first ticket ever. He claimed that I was speeding, which I was not; But he used his position of authority to harass me. Finally I got my first lawyer who screwed me for my money -- which I barely had in the first place, to retain a lawyer … so I fired him. Later on, I got another lawyer who did the same thing! So here I sit with no lawyer and all I get are supervised visitations with my daughter, who is now 11. It is now 2006 … and we're still dealing with this injustice!

So to date, Javier and the Alaska court system is guilty of sexual, physical, emotional, and mental abuse on a minor. My daughter is forced to go days and weeks without her hair being combed; she wears clothes that are too small, and shoes with holes in the bottom – so when she walks through water or snow, her socks get wet. I have bought her two pairs of shoes, but he will not allow her to wear them on a consistent basis and she continues to walk around with holes in her shoes. They even made my child swallow her own vomit! I reported all of this to Judge Mark Rindner -- and what is being done about it? Nothing! My child and I continue to be in this prison against our will and for no fault of our own. My child was taken from me on bull crap! She has been traumatized, violated sexually by him twice, and the courts gave him physical and sole legal custody of my child! He continues to abuse her with absolutely no accountability to anyone, and sits back and laughs about it like it's a game. He's ruined my child’s life just to get revenge on me for leaving him … and the courts helped him. This is the norm here in Anchorage Alaska! He gets her dividends and spends them on himself although he should be putting them in an account for her future college tuition and expenses. He gets tax breaks as well, yet she needs clothes and walks around with clothes that are too little -- And I have to pay HIM child support! He then spends my money on himself and not my child, while I'm struggling to make ends meet. How can such sickness happen in America … land of the free! What's free about the prison that my child and I are in? And while the rest of the world remembers September 11, 2001 … I remember September 21st, 2001 … the day they let this monster take my child! Who then got a restraining order against me! So if I attempt to take my child back, I go to jail! And what would be my crime … rescuing my child from the prison of a psycho? And he is not even her father! However, the courts have declared him her ”psychological father,” and she still cries to come home to this very day. I have written every agency here in town for help, but every one keeps passing the buck. I've even written all the talk shows, to no avail. I have contacted television stations, also to no avail. It's like no one cares, but me. Can anyone out there expose this injustice in hopes that my child can come home? It is time to stop this monster from taking anymore years of our lives! Life is short enough, and we can’t get these stolen years back. Please help for the sake of my child and my sanity!

When this madness began, I was pregnant with my current husband's child. It was a very stressful pregnancy; I was put on bed rest and had to have an emergency c-section. Due to the stress that I have been forced to endure, I now have terrible pains in the back of my head. And I recently found out brain aneurysms run in our family and have killed family members. So my fear is the stress of all this injustice will kill me and take me away from both my kids, this because the courts here in Anchorage Alaska helped a psycho get revenge! They call Anchorage Alaska … and all of Alaska, A Man’s State! I now see exactly why … because this is the kind of madness men get away with here!

Now Javier has set out to break up my current marriage, by sending a forged letter stating “I said my child was not my husband's child.” This letter, of course, was shown to my husband. But my husband knew better and came home and told me all about it -- he regretted not getting a copy of the letter to show to the court. Unfortunately, my husband and I are getting a divorce, due to his ‘hidden’ drug problem. I had no idea he had this problem before we married, or I never would have married him.

This back-and-forth courtroom battle has been going on now for six years! So to date, Javier and his wife Kim have gotten away with sexually violating my child twice. They have gotten away with kidnapping, and mental and emotional abuse. Javier has even threaten to beat my child to death, if she ever told on him again. Why would he threaten her, if he had nothing to hide? He even spanked her about something that was written in my “motion for return of custody.” By the way, the Judge that let him get away with this is Judge Mark Rindner. Also, my child has been assigned a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL); but she has not done her job properly, since coming aboard this case. She even used her connections as a GAL Lawyer to try to block the Judge from getting my 'motion' paperwork. She also used her connections at child protective services, to help Javier cover up his abuse of my child! The child protective worker that assisted them is Erica Johnson. Erica Johnson went to Ahshah's school to interview or question her about Javier’s mistreatment of her. According to Ahshah, Ms. Johnson was very mean to her during the questioning. Ms. Johnson kept trying to get my daughter to say mean things about me. Sara Acharya, Erica Johnson, Javier Robinson, Kim Wild, and Val Miraglia, have all put their heads together in an effort to attack me with their lies and to prove me unfit. I have been accused of ‘making up’ lies to turn Ahshah against Javier – which is not at all true. This crap has been going on for far too long! – and although I have been telling Judge Mark Rindner about all this, he ignores all the facts and information I provide; and he continues to let Javier get away with this. I even suggested that the Judge talk to Ahshah himself in chambers. But he refuses, claiming he is not qualified. When all he has to do is have someone who IS qualified interview Ahshah while he sits in on their interview or meeting – anyone but Sarah Acharya or Val Miraglia who have a habit of telling Javier everything Ahshah discusses with them; By doing this they continue to put Ahshah in harms way, because Javier threatens to beat her for saying certain things to her counselor, Val Miraglia. So while Ahshah is crying out for help, all she continues to get is more abuse – obviously, in Alaska no one gives a damn! That’s why Alaska has the highest rate of child abuse in the nation! And it is not abuse at the hands of parents, as much as it is ‘the system’ – the same system that has an obligation to protect children. The acronym DFYS (Division of Family and Youth Services) has been changed to the Office of Children Services, but the same injustice continues … because the same wicked people work there! And Sarah Acharya should be helping to protect my child, but is helping to hurt her -- all done in retaliation because I told the Judge she wasn’t doing her job – which she wasn’t, then or now!.

There MUST be a thorough investigation of all parties mentioned in this letter and ALL Child Protective Service agencies, If this is how they operate! This happens all the time on a daily basis in Anchorage Alaska … THE LAST FRONTIER – It should be called: THE CAPITAL OF CHILD ABUSE! And Judge Mark Rindner has a history of wrongfully taking children away from their parents – there are three cases that I know of personally … and all of us are Black, me included. So I don’t know if he’s anti-Black, anti-woman, or just downright anti-JUST! But he must to be investigated to the max! I’m sure there must be hundreds if not thousands of children that have been wrongfully traumatized because of his unjust rulings and he just should not be a Judge, in my opinion. So many of his rulings have been overturned, for wrongfully removing children from their families – all with the help and support of Guardian Ad Litem, Sarah Acharya and Erica Johnson with the Office Of Child Protective Services. They collectively down-play everything that has happened to my child, both then and now. Javier Oddie Robinson initiated this courtroom feud by lying to them and leading them to believe that “I hate White people,” and I “hit my child in the eye.” And, of course, Javier’s lies were supported by his family and friends. He also has two brothers who are cops who misuse their positions of authority and connections to help Javier harass me. So while my child is being abused mentally, emotionally, and physically, a wall has been constructed around her which can not be penetrated … so she can’t get any help and she can’t come home. This is what happens in Alaska to women who try to stand up for themselves and leave crazy men like Javier Oddie Robinson! A woman should have the right to end a relationship, if she so chooses – And once this decision has been made, he should not be able to gain custody of her child! A child that is not biologically his! A “psychological” parent should not trump two “biological” parents! But I guess that’s just life in Alaska, if you don’t have money to fight the injustice. They are allowed to all gang up on the woman and label her with a personality disorder or some other crap … which they make up along the way. I also feel that I’m being targeted for what I believe in … and I am being targeted because I am outspoken, both of which are my rights. I have been screwed from every angle possible -- I continue to get railroaded; and my child continues to be abused. With all that has happened to both me and my child, and all that continues to happen … I have grounds for some serious law suits against the State Of Alaska, the Court System, and these so-called professionals!

Schizophrenic and Bipolar Woman Granted Legal Guardianship

[Three generations tragically affected by Social Services ... When will it stop?]

Perhaps I am just overly emotional tonight as I write about this next story; Nevertheless, I am profoundly moved and deeply troubled by so many aspects of this case. 15-year-old Ciara Jobes, an African American girl from Maryland, was beaten and brutally raped while in the care of her court appointed legal guardian, Satrina Roberts. Ciara began living with Satrina at the request of her mother, Jackie Cruse, who was dying from AIDS. Other reports have stated that Jackie also battled drug addiction before succumbing to her illness – which would explain her impaired judgment and decision to select Satrina as a viable guardian to begin with. According to records, Satrina had a long and consistent history of mental illness – As a result, she would be clinically diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder and subsequently approved for federal disability.

Just two months before a Circuit Court judge decided to appoint Satrina guardian of Ciara, with no courtroom objection by the social services caseworker who attended the guardianship hearing, Satrina was favorably being considered for foster care licensing – More likely than not, she would have been approved. Buried in a caseworker’s file were reports that Satrina “Had been cooperating with the foster program and that her application looked promising …;” However, due to some unexplained reason, Satrina voluntarily ended all contact with the agency … which led to her application being terminated. Worth emphasizing, her application was not terminated for lack of sufficient income to adequately support two people while on disability … it was not terminated because of her clinically diagnosed mental condition … it was not terminated because an investigation, to include a home study and perhaps interviews with friends, family, and neighbors unearthed disturbing findings … her application to become a foster “parent” was simply terminated because SHE chose to remove herself from the application process … WOW! It was reported that Satrina’s mental state was not an issue for the courts or social services because “It is not their policy,” when making guardianship determinations. It must have been by the grace of God and the protection of his angels that this woman was prevented from following through with her ‘I wanna be a foster parent too application!’ I can only imagine how many foster children would have been abused and raped in her home before Ciara’s death forced the close of her torture chamber! But what would it have taken to prevent Ciara from being tortured and killed?

The agency that claims to “oversee” Social Services, The Department of Human Resources, believes it is the Baltimore court’s responsibility to set, regulate, and enforce guardianship standards … not social workers, responded a spokesman for the Department. According to Sue Fitzsimmons, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore City Department of Social Services, “Guardianship is not an issue we deal with” – this coming from the very agency ‘dedicated’ to “protecting” children. It appears that although guardianship is not an issue for their agency, dirty dishes, a messy home, a parent who drinks too much, verbal abuse, and spankings are! Perhaps it was The City Council who summed it up best by “passing a resolution” stating that Ciara was “neglected by school officials, ignored by neighbors, and abandoned by the very system that had a moral and legal obligation to protect her.” An enrolled student at Patterson High, Ciara had not been in school all semester. Perhaps if social workers weren’t wasting precious time trying to “build a case” against decent, innocent, hard working families they could have taken a trip to Patterson High, picked up a truancy report, spoken to her teachers, and attempted to locate the MIA student before she was killed! According to police reports, Ciara was “savagely beaten, denied food, and locked in an unfurnished and unheated room for months” while being forced to “use a hole in the wall as a toilet.” It was just before Christmas that Ciara was found by police who report that she “had as many as 700 wounds – most of them whip marks” and there were signs of “recent violent sexual abuse.”

The collaborative and conspiratorial efforts by social workers, teachers, medical personnel, psychiatrist, attorneys, judges, and foster care providers to fabricate stories, violate every civil and constitutional law known to man, complete falsified reports to be submitted to a juvenile judge in a court of law, attend court just to commit felony perjury … and just the sheer time, energy, and money used to cover their butts could and should be spent protecting children … like Ciara Jobes, Rilya Wilson, and Nixzmary Brown. But to the honest, trustworthy, hardworking, teachers … medical doctors and nurses … psychiatrist … attorneys … and judges who still respect and honor their professions, thank you and please join us in this modern day battle between good and evil. We must join together in our demand that our government immediately stop funding and therefore supporting the rape, molestation, and murder of our nations’ children. After all, is a junky house, dirty dishes in the sink, and spankings really THAT serious? For those of you that answer yes, let me say that I would choose a messy home and alcoholic parents to rape, molestation, broken bones and skull fractures any day of the week! Remember that God has a way of making sure that the pain you intentionally inflict on others is returned to you tenfold – that would be moira, karma, or kismet for all nonbelievers. I apologize but I absolutely must make one final biblical reference … Pharoah regularly issued orders to kill the first born of the Hebrews … but it was not until God took ‘his’ firstborn that he saw the error of his ways. So to you social workers who nonchalantly and with reckless abandon continue to terrorize innocent families, and continue in this profession for the pay, government benefits, excellent work schedule to include every-other Friday off … and the job security that Absolute Power allows … God will ‘personally’ hold you accountable for your actions. Having made a personal and spiritual plea that you end the violence against our children, the rest is up to you.

Ms. Iva Cruse, Ciara’s then 54 year old grandmother, lovingly remembers many discussions with her granddaughter about music and her dreams for the future. Ciara wanted to attend either Georgia Tech or the University of Georgia, with hopes of becoming a pharmacist. A student who had earned A’s in middle school, she definitely had talent. Her grandmother, who worked nights at a factory, was determined to do whatever it took to help Ciara realize this dream … even if it killed her! Grandma Cruse was also determined to “make good” on a promise she made to Ciara when she was 11 – “to throw her a fabulous 18th birthday party!” Grandma Cruse would wait outside of Ciara’s now abandoned row house for relatives and other invited guest; wearing a red dress which was her granddaughters favorite color, in anticipation of keeping her promise. While waiting, Iva expressed her extreme sadness to be celebrating Ciara’s 18th birthday without her, “I’m still hoping to wake up and find it was all a bad dream,” said Iva. If you are wondering why such a loving, thoughtful, caring, and attentive woman was not granted guardianship of her granddaughter -- it is because she too lost her children to social services for “leaving them alone and unsupervised,” and therefore did not “qualify”… although Satrina Roberts DID meet the qualifications! I am left to ponder whether the decision to take Iva’s children, many years earlier, was the catalyst to Ciara’s mothers drug addiction – one can only speculate. Iva, who visits Ciara’s torture chamber once a year, when asked if she will ever get over her pain, responded by saying “I don’t know if I can ever really get over it until I can get inside that room. I want to feel her pain, her agonizing pain, her bruises. Nobody can understand what a mother feels,” – perhaps also reliving the hurt and pain of losing her children to ‘the system.’ In an act that epitomized Ciara’s short existence, no one came to join Grandma Iva for her honorary 18th birthday celebration – which prompted her to say “Aint nobody here but me, baby – just goes to show, nobody but grandma remembers.” A few cousins did, however, show up as Iva was preparing to leave and said they were stuck in traffic. After prayer and a few brief discussions the cousins encouraged Iva to stop returning to the torture chamber, as they piled back in their car to leave. After they left, grandma Iva remained standing, staring at the boarded window of the room where her granddaughter had spent the last years of her life.

To Ciara Jobes, if you are looking down on us, I would like to say that you are not alone and WE ARE HERE. We acknowledge your worth and value. We recognize you and so many others as true gifts from God that were not treasured, appreciated, cherished, and cared for by some. I want you to know that we are fighting in your honor … we will continue shouting as loud as we can … and praying incessantly and fervently that if our government will not stop voluntarily, that God will make them stop soon!

In the Childs Best Interest

[Thoughts to Ponder to All Involved with Foster Care]

Is my child better off with strangers who own a Lexus, Mini Van, and Dodge Durango … because I rely on public transportation?

Is my child better off with strangers who live in a $500,000 home in the suburbs … because I live in an apartment in an inner city ghetto?

Is my child better off living with strangers in a traditional nuclear family … because I am a single mother?

Is my child better off living with strangers in a house with a stay-at-home mom … because I am a single mother who works full-time?

Is it better for my child to live with strangers who can feed him lobster … because I can only afford chicken?

Is my child better off with strangers who are college educated … because I only have a high school diploma?

Is it to my child’s advantage to live with strangers of a different race … because I am a Black woman who is forced to live with the daily burdens of racism, bigotry, and discrimination?

Is my nine year old only-child better off living in a home with two parents and 10 teenaged foster children … because our two bedroom apartment is roach infested?

Is it in my daughter’s best interest to be removed from my home due to ‘verbal abuse’ because my boyfriend and I argue too much … and placed with strangers who will rape and molest her?

Is my child who occasionally wanders away from home … safer in the luxurious suburban home of strangers with an olympic sized swimming pool or a vicious rottweiler in the backyard? http://www.massnews.com/past_issues/2001/aug%202001/8231baby.htm

Is my child better off with strangers because they can afford ballet, tap, and gymnastics classes … and I can only afford occasional lessons at the YMCA or Boys and Girls Club?

Is my child better off living with wealthy strangers who work long hours and travel frequently on business which keeps them away from home … because I earn minimum wage on both of my underpaid jobs which also keeps me away from home more than I care to be?

Is my child better off living with wealthy strangers who can afford hired help and a nanny to raise the children … because I am a single parent with no family support?

Is my son better protected from the ‘verbal abuse’ at home … now that he is placed in the home of domestic partners and susceptible to their sense of morality and vulnerable to their sexual advances? see: http://www.itv.com/news/britain_2023818.html

Am I truly an abusive and/or negligent parent just because the social workers, supervisors, department managers, regional managers at Child Protective Services, and the juvenile court judge have declared me as such? see: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060513/NEWS0104/605130392/1008/NEWS01

Is my child better off in the home of strangers because I drink forty ounce malt liquor on the weekends … even though his foster mother drinks four to five glasses of Dom. Romance Conti (1997) every day?

Is my child better off in the home of strangers with a mother who has no marketable job skills and supplements her husbands income with government issued monthly foster care payments … because I am currently receiving AFDC?

Is my child better off living in the home of her previous social worker who regularly engaged in acts of felony perjury, conspiracy, corruption, and other unconstitutional and criminal acts all under the guise of “protecting” children … because I am a stripper?

Is the forced assimilation of my little Black child into White American society to his advantage … because it will expose him to the things that I can not financially provide? Never mind the loss of cultural identity, traditional teachings, and often irreversibly damaged family bonds. Let’s not forget the advantages of forced assimilation on Native Americans who are still paying the price to this very day in high poverty rates, excessive alcohol addiction and abuse, as well as the lack of economic self sufficiency.

Is my child safer and better protected in the home of strangers because I lack stable housing and battle substance abuse … after all, the temporary care providers are able to offer stable housing and are not alcoholics? See: http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060425/BREAKING01/60425008

Is my child better off with strangers because I am in and out of treatment facilities battling my drug addiction … although his foster parent abuses prescription drugs? See: http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1145956934113500.xml&coll=1

Is it to my child’s advantage to stay in a stranger’s home that has the option to serve a seven day notice to remove the child when his behavior becomes too much to handle … Or should he already be in the home of loving extended family members who will love and care for him for the rest of his life!

Is my child better off living with strangers until the age of 18 who will then declare him “aged-out” and release him to the streets without money, shelter, or the loving support of family to whom he was forced to abandon years earlier.

Most importantly, will my government continue to turn a blind eye to the unconstitutional and often criminal behavior occurring in our juvenile courts? Will my government continue to add more money or fuel to the fire that is Foster Care … which is already burning out of control!
By doing the aforementioned, I hereby declare that my government is participating in the “legalized” kidnapping of our nations children.

$525,000 Victory!!!

My search for commonsense replaced by a whole lot of nonsense led me to Broward County Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF). Once you begin researching children abused and neglected, raped and molested, due to the actions of OUR government, it does not take long to realize that Florida’s DCF agency is one of the most notorious offenders. Some of you will remember 5-year-old Rilya Wilson who just vanished in thin air, while in the care of Florida’s DCF agency. Rilya simply disappeared from her foster care provider’s home and from DCF’s radar completely! It would be over a year before DCF would recognize her disappearance, if you can believe that! Rilya’s story is one that I will talk about at a later time.

Which brings me to the case of little John Jones, the name assigned to him for legal and privacy reasons, who entered Florida’s foster care system at the age of six. John and his siblings were taken from their biological parents “for their protection.” Interestingly enough, I was unable to find the ‘exact’ charges or allegations against John’s parents. If anyone in cyber land is familiar with this case, please let me know what the allegations were. My personal experience with juvenile ‘justice’ leads me to believe that the allegations were so obscure or completely fabricated which possibly led to all charges eventually being dropped or the case completely dismissed. After all, if John’s parents had been homeless drug addicts, the information would be readily available.

Before being placed with his foster “parents,” to whom I will refer to as foster family X, DCF had received numerous complaints about the family; It was reported that they were both physically and verbally abusive to other children in their home, and failed to provide them with adequate medical care. They were also said to be “hostile” towards both children and DCF employees. The Dad, Mr. X, had even previously been arrested for “stalking his girlfriend.” Also in the home of family X was a 13-year-old foster child “who had a history of sexual abuse, both as a victim and possibly a perpetrator.” In addition to these allegations and ‘issues,’ and most disturbingly, was a report that four foster children had been sexually abused by two of the adopted children of family X. Although these extremely serious complaints had been filed against family X, DCF made the decision to place John and his three siblings in their home with the recommendation that Mrs. X should “keep the boys as separate as possible.” Needless to say, the 13-year-old sexual predator would later admit to “repeatedly sexually abusing John Jones.”

Commonsense would have led any rational person to the conclusion that placing John and his siblings with family X would be the proverbial equivalent to taking the children, whom we are to ‘believe’ were abused and neglected at home, out of the ‘pot’ and throwing them into the ‘fire!’ I would like to know what the foster “parents” culpability in this case was; although they were not ‘directly’ responsible for the child’s abuse and the perpetrator was an under aged child, one would think they would also be held accountable for their role in this crime, as well as being held responsible for the behavior of their under aged legally adopted child. As a result of DCFs inability to foresee the obvious, a law suit was filed on John’s behalf, who has now been diagnosed with both “post traumatic stress and explosive disorders.” The law suit was filed by Broward County Children’s Advocate and attorney Howard Talenfeld. Ironically enough, DCF was represented in court by a lawyer from the attorney general’s office which is the same office that I was instructed to file a complaint with, when attempting to report the criminal actions of several employees of child 'protective' services in my state. During the proceedings, DCF officials pretended that they were unfamiliar with the details of the case according to Leslie Mann, a spokeswoman for DCF. After a two year court battle, a $525,000 settlement was reached in John’s favor. The attorney, Mr. Talenfeld, would later make the assertion that the $525,000 settlement amount equals “… $10,000 for each of the 50 times the boy was molested;” As if ANY amount of money could compensate this child for what he has and will continue to live with for the rest of his life! I personally am outraged that he was only given $525,000! When you deduct what the government, who is responsible for his torture, will get back in taxes … and what the attorney will get in fees … AND the long-term cost for his physical and mental healthcare needs, what is left for John? So I hardly see the need to celebrate his “victory.” The hidden tragedy behind so many of these cases of children raped, molested, and beaten to a pulp while in the states care is that very few are able to recover money for their future needs; and they are not given the help, support, and assistance they need from the state.

I would like to see child ‘protective’ service agencies nationwide hit with an automatic one million dollar fine for each child raped, molested, abused and neglected while in their care … AND THEN begin legal proceedings to determine what additional monetary fines should be imposed. As a result, we would immediately see several things happen – First and foremost, the government would get out of the business of “parenting” and leave this responsibility to the people that God has assigned to each child … and that’s their parents! If a child is ‘truly’ orphaned, abandoned, or physically abused, there should be private, independent, agencies set up to handle these cases – the keyword being “independent” of the government. Second, you would see these inexperienced, talent-less, untrained, non empathetic, cold and heartless, social workers in the ‘unemployment line’ where they belong competing for jobs with college graduates who hold ‘real’ degrees like chemist, physicists, engineers, computer programmers, and others who were required to go above college level algebra in order to get a degree! If you are reading this, and have a degree in education or nursing … I also have a lot to say about your “respected” professions, but that will have to wait.

Because no one can articulate the passion and zeal to help “abused” children better than an employee in the field of social work, I will end my rant with a letter written by a person who shall remain nameless: “It is a fun place to work – convenient for my college schedule, the rest of the staff are other young adults so I have lots of new friends! The pay is … well, they would attract better staff if it was higher, but this is a non-profit! We have four kids where I work – three boys ages 12, 9, and 9 and one girl age 9 –guess who needs the most supervision so he or she won’t perpetrate anything on the other kids! There are always two staff members around 24 hours a day, and at least three staff during the day (sometimes four). This is also a transitional residence – these kids typically come straight from the hospital and eventually move into a less restrictive setting after they have been here a while. The kids are usually pretty good now (since they have been here a while), although last weekend I had to carry one up to his room because he refused to go to bed, and another one was getting ready to whack me with a dining room chair (he’s strong for a 9-year-old!).”

Folks, it is time that we put an immediate end to this ‘beyond gross’ injustice and stop allowing the fox to guard the hen house!

What's a Mom to Do?

There is a ‘new’ problem brewing in America and illegal immigration, high gas prices, and Anti-American sentiment have nothing to do with it! Behind the closed doors of our juvenile ‘justice’ system, abuse and corruption is running rampant. Parents are being victimized in unimaginable ways by current child ‘protective’ services laws … especially here in California!

I watched a mother, on the Montel Williams show, that has been in prison for the last 27 years because ‘her boyfriend’ killed her daughter. She has been sitting in prison for years undoubtedly blaming herself for not ‘standing up’ for her daughter. She has been led to believe that she should have fought the boyfriend with any and every ounce of her being to protect her daughter. I have no idea what the juvenile court system was like then, but ‘today’ it would not have made a bit of difference how hard she fought. The juvenile ‘justice’ system is designed to snatch children and fabricate stories after the fact. Today, if she had fought him … she would have lost her children because there is “domestic violence” in the home. If she failed to fight him, she still would have lost her children due to “failure to protect.” The ‘powers that be’ tell women not to stay in unhealthy relationships … they are encouraged to check into safety shelters, if necessary. Sounds good right? Not exactly, shelters are now required to ask moms a series of questions … to include, do you have an open Child Protective Services case? If you answer yes, they are required to report any ‘suspicion’ of abuse or negligent care by the mom while she’s in the shelter. And even if you do not have an open CPS case, you are watched closely for possible ‘signs’ that you may be abusive or negligent – after all, they are ‘mandated’ employees and are required to report even the smallest incidents. More than likely, you will be investigated by CPS just for checking into the shelter because there is a chance that you may lack the necessary ‘skills’ to raise your child (ren) i.e. the ability to get/keep a job, the ability to keep a roof over your head, homemaking skills, and definitely ‘alternatives to domestic violence.’ So I ask you, what the heck are moms suppose to do? Lord forbid you get involved with a man who either (1) lied to you about his criminal past and led you to believe that he either has no criminal past or he had a ‘minor’ brush with the law in the past. Or, (2) you become involved with a man who engaged in the ‘violent’ act of getting into a bar room brawl while in college 10 – 20 years prior. If the latter scenario applies, and your new beau spanks your child and the authorities get involved, you run the risk of losing your child(ren) because you knew about his ‘violent’ tendencies yet you continued your involvement with him. The bottom line is ... it is ‘open season’ on American families. If you choose to spank your child (ren), you have to explain your decision and methods to outsiders. If you choose to keep your child (ren) out of the horrific public school environment and home school them, you have to answer to outsiders. At seven days old, I chose ‘not’ to allow the hospital to inject dye (CT scan) into my daughters head and refused to allow them to perform a spinal tap on her without ‘first’ performing less invasive procedures. After much resistance, I demanded to have her transferred to a different hospital for a second opinion … which they ‘refused’ to allow me to take her from the hospital. I had to wait hours for a transport team to take her to the second hospital. As a result of my ‘refusal’ of the recommended medical ‘treatment,’ I had to explain my decision to no less than five different hospital staff members … to include a ‘twenty something year old’ social worker. It appears that without money in America … it no longer pays to have children. We no longer live in a society that honors and values parents’ rights and everything you do, as a parent, is ‘suspect.’ If you have any doubt about the enormity of this problem, click on the link “Petition to Oprah” at www.fightcps.com -- there are almost 3,000 signatures on the petition, when the goal was 1,000. Please read comment #2,804 written by A Hampton on May 15th at 7:27 pm.

If the government has the ‘right’ to tell parents how to raise their children, minus the presence of abuse and/or neglect, then it should also support us financially.
We as parents are no longer able to raise the children that God gave us, without unnecessary government interference and intrusion; Therefore, it is my suggestion that welfare reform be completely overhauled. There should not be a five year limit on government benefits, and parents should be allowed to sit on welfare indefinitely. Why should we get up everyday, go to work, pay taxes, and live as upstanding citizens of this country; Yet, we are unable to parent our children -- This, might I add, without ever being charged or convicted of a crime!

Recently I read an article titled A Mother’s Day Report Card: The Best and Worst – Countries to Be a Mother. Needless to say, the United States was in the top 10. It truly amazes me that Americans have such a distorted view of what life is ‘really’ like in the U.S. Perhaps this is due in part to the strong media influence or our inability or failure to verify facts before accepting them as truth.

I was truly incensed by the article. The writer basically compared life in undeveloped countries to that in developed countries. He wrote about the high percentage of maternal and infant mortality rates in undeveloped countries, while ignoring the fact that thousands of mothers in the U.S. are giving birth to 'healthy babies' just to have them 'legally' kidnapped by their own government! Our children are being kidnapped from loving parents with tons of extended family members and 'sold to the highest bidder.' Parents are losing their 'healthy babies' to a very broken and corrupt system because of dirty dishes in the sink, failure to immunize their children in a 'timely' manner, the baby fell from a defective infant swing, the mothers boyfriend slapped her or was 'verbally' abusive, the parents failed to 'child proof ' their home and the baby drank something it should not have and as a result was rushed to the emergency room ... I could go on and on. The fact is, American children and their parents are no longer safe in their own country. There appears to be an attack on the ‘traditional family unit,’ although the government and society encourages ‘civil’ unions.

The writer reported on children, under five years of age, suffering from moderate to severe nutritional wasting; well, what about the tons of children that are dying in foster and group homes each year. What about the children in state custody, due to false allegations launched by a crooked cop or overworked/underpaid social worker. While in the states' care, many of our children are needlessly wasting away on mind-altering psychotropic drugs. The writer also touched on the percentage of women giving birth with the assistance of skilled personnel in certain countries -- what about moms, in the United States, who are forced to run and hide while delivering children in non-sterile environments for fear that the state will kidnap 'yet another' one of their children. Some mothers are lucky to survive childbirth right here in the U.S. The writer also claims to "Know what it takes to help these mothers and children survive and thrive,” in developing countries. Perhaps we can all put our heads together and figure out 'how to help our mothers and children survive and thrive' under the current government oppression and abuse here in the U.S.

Although I am happy to know that organizations like Save the Children are working with communities and governments to provide beneficial programs for mothers and children in developing countries; I would like to see Save the Children ... SAVE OUR CHILDREN! I would like to see Safe Kids and other organizations participate in efforts to remove government tyranny and truly provide a safe environment for American children and their families.

It was also written that "Life is not easy for mothers and children in the bottom ranked countries." Might I suggest that we lower our binoculars and stop looking abroad for 'international human rights abuse and issues' and start paying attention to the DOMESTIC human rights issues right here in our own backyard. I am FED UP with our government officials 'globe trotting' preaching democracy and diplomacy when the U.S. is as screwy as a cork screw.

Last but not least, the writer made a comparison between mothers in Sweden to those in Ethiopia … which I thought was simply ludicrous! To imply that there is some underlying correlation between literacy and infant mortality is sad and deeply disturbing. Until we put down our cell phones, blackberrys, bottled water, notebooks, charge cards, and spend a few years in Ethiopia … we will ‘never’ know what life is like for moms’ in that region. It is then, and only then, will we truly understand ‘why’ 37% of Ethiopian mothers are forced to watch their babies die in the first year of life … trust me, literacy has NOTHING to do with it.

Perhaps at the next local congressional hearing a child welfare advocate will speak on the need for juvenile ‘justice’ reform. It is time that we all come together and insist that our government ‘immediately’ stop turning a blind eye to the unconstitutional and often criminal behavior occurring in our juvenile and family courts. How can we expect foreigners to view us in a favorable light, when our own citizens are ashamed of what we have become. It is not until peace, happiness, and respect are restored ‘at home’ that others will once again view us favorably.

Spank your Children and We Will Take Them!!!

[From spankings at home to rape and molestation in foster care]

Let’s apply a little commonsense to the nonsense in the state of Connecticut and their Department of Children and Family (DCF). In September of 2001, Andrea Starkweather of Gales Ferry Connecticut lost custody of her three children due to a form of corporal punishment being administered on the children by Ms. Starkweather’s fiancé. It was stated that the fiancé spanked the children using a belt. In my family and community in general, that’s called getting a good ole’ whipping … but we will stick with her verbiage … the children were "spanked."

Naturally, because children have the right to safety and protection under our laws, DCF without hesitation stepped in and removed the three children from their home. Eight months after being “rescued” by the state of Connecticut’s DCF agency, Ms. Starkweather’s five year old daughter was raped and molested while in foster care. Interestingly enough, the rape and molestation was not disclosed to the mother. It was not reported to the appropriate authorities, if reported at all; And form 136 was never filed by the agency. I wonder what happened to the urgency to protect this child? Was the child immediately removed from the foster home? Were charges ever filed and the perpetrator prosecuted? Why, if parental rights had not been terminated, was the mother not notified of the “incident” and involved in the care and treatment of her child? It was during one of the child’s many therapy sessions, in August 2002, that the rape and molestation was reported to the therapist. Despite the mother’s efforts to regain custody and while the state vehemently fought to terminate her parental rights, a recommendation was made to place the child in “long-term hospitalization.” I can only assume that the trauma of being ripped from her mom, siblings, friends, and family compounded with being raped at the ripe old age of five, rendered this child an excellent candidate for long-term mental health care. It truly sickens me to think about the long-term physical and psychological affects of being raped and molested at the age of five!

DCF would also refuse the mother’s request for full-disclosure submitted by her Attorney. Could this have been an attempt to hide pertinent information? Ms. Starkweather made several complaints about the child’s unusual and frightening behavior while in foster care but to no avail. Her complaints included the child's “unkept” physical appearance; the lack of safety and protection as the child attempted to jump from a moving vehicle in an attempt to be with her mom; and the many “bizarre sexual interpretations,” to include trying to “tongue-kiss” her mother. The child also threatened to kill herself. According to the mom, the story gets progressively worse … if you can imagine anything worse than what was previously described.

Ms. Starkweather feels that her treatment by DCF and the state of Connecticut was the direct result of her being an unmarried, “poor Black parent,” with four children by four different men. So I ask you, was the treatment of Ms. Starkweather and her children a “safety” issue or a “morality” issue? Or, as she implies a "race" issue?
She also questions whether DCF employees were slightly perturbed by her decision to marry a White man.

Knowing that “the mother” which is DCF terminology when referring to the “abusive and/or negligent” parent, gave birth to four children without the benefit of marriage … and by four different men, did she get what she deserved? Did the state have the right to use the “whipping” as an excuse to put these children in a better or morally sound environment? Before you make your decision here is a little more information about Ms. Starkweather: (1) she was an employee of the very government that participated in the “legalized” kidnapping of her children. Yes folks, Ms. Starkweather is a veteran of the Army National Guards and was honorably discharged from service; (2) She has “15 years of education;” (3) She had been on the same job for 10 years and owns her own home … and takes pride in the fact that she raised her children all by herself, before her succeeding nuptials.

Having stated the above I ask you, was Ms. Starkweather and her children treated fairly? Were they treated the way you or I would expect to be treated? The most important question is, did the short-term affects of a “whipping” justify the agency's decision to jeopardize the children’s long-term physical and emotional health? Did DCFs decision to prevent the children from sore, red tushies warrant the loss of a five year old girl’s innocence and virginity? Was their decision truly worth the emotional devastation and trauma inflicted on this family? Sounds like a lack of commonsense to me!

Mad Momma!!! He That Laughs Last ...

Mad Momma wrote this letter, but naturally it was not posted as written, to
Ms. D G Morrow an obvious CPS and social worker empathizer.

To Ms. D G Morrow

You appear to be rather empathetic to the ‘plight’ of the social worker. Well … let me and the thousands of parents that have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong but ‘still’ lost our children to this vicious, malicious, venomous, corrupt and crooked, unjust, ‘black-hole’ of a system tell you that the social workers are NOT just “In the middle of things.” More often than not, their ‘Pulitzer prize worthy’ works of fiction … or allegations … are the reason children are ripped from their parents arms and placed in foster and group homes to begin with. And to say that the children suffer always – that’s true but it’s an unnecessary suffering. These children are being tortured and tormented emotionally and sometimes physically … for what? You also stated that 26 children have died this year, while in foster care – this is JUST May! So, five months into the ‘new’ year and there are already 26 dead children … this is outrageous! You ask “What do you do?” I say … enough of this emailing ‘stuff.’ It is time to take to the streets! It is time to picket! It is time to STAND UP and refuse to be treated like second class citizens in our own country! We have illegal immigrants pouring onto our streets, displaying their native
flags, DEMANDING rights … but, we as legal citizens are sitting at home leaving messages on a blog, HOPING that something will change … what’s wrong with this picture? My ancestors and their allies fought and died for the rights that we are now privileged to enjoy. If main stream media refuses to tell our stories and stand behind what is RIGHT, then we MUST go down kicking and screaming until they hear us! ENOUGH OF THIS BULL CRAP!

I, personally, DID NOT lay on a hospital operating table, have my gut cut open (caesarian birth) bringing my son into this world, raise him BY MYSELF for ten years, just to have him taken from me because ‘someone else’ slapped him in the face! My son went from private schools, as early as kindergarten, to foster care … piano and Spanish lessons, boy’s gymnastics, tennis lessons, etc. to foster care! The U.S. has become a place that I am completely ashamed of. Have we reached a point in society that law abiding, tax paying, non-criminal citizens of this country need to defect to some third world country just to have a peace of mind and to enjoy freedom? The government does not have the ‘constitutional right’ to do what its doing. Furthermore, no ONE agency should be this powerful – they are dealing with children and their families … with human emotion and feelings … with parent to child attachments and bonds … NOT animals. One would expect this type of treatment from an animal care worker, employed by the Humane Society, sent to pick up stray animals in the neighborhood, but not police and public service workers!

Ms. D G Morrow … no offense, but you were in family court for foster care/adoption related issues. You were not in court because a child that you carried inside your body for nine months, gave birth to, and raised, before government interference made that impossible, stepped in. You are not the parent of one of the 26 children that died in foster care ‘this year.’ You are not the parent of a child that died in one of the preceding years. You are not a relative of a parent that committed suicide because the pain of having their child kidnapped was simply unbearable. To all of you crooked cops, Judges, Social Workers, Attorneys’Ad Litem, and ‘any and everyone’ that knowingly allows this injustice to continue, without taking a stand, SHAME ON YOU! I have the strength to remain strong because I KNOW my God does not lie when he says that you will reap what you sow … Also, vengeance is mine, said the Lord! And to you Atheist and Agnostics who laugh at these words … remember, he that laughs last ... laughs best!

If you believe that foster care should be reserved for children that are orphaned, or have TRULY been abandoned by their parents and ALL extended family members; If you believe that children in foster care should actually be victims of abuse and/or neglect, once proven by a judge and jury NOT a social worker with a God complex; If you believe in the Constitution and civil rights for all, no matter what their economic, social, or cultural group may be – Please sign the petitions referenced at www.squidoo.com/abolishcps/ (scroll down to Get Involved!!!).

Call to Action! My Personal Story

FKTMP1_0002

Names, dates, and additional events intentionally withheld ... for now!

To: The American Public and the World

There is a ‘new’ problem brewing in America and illegal immigration, high gas prices, and Anti-American sentiment have nothing to do with it! Behind the closed doors of our juvenile ‘justice’ system, abuse and corruption is running rampant. Parents are being victimized in unimaginable ways by current child ‘protective’ services laws … especially here in California. Therefore, I am sending out an urgent request that investigations be conducted and explanations provided to the public explaining why over 500,000 children are in Foster Care with over 100,000 living right here in California!

To be more direct, It is because of these alarming statistics and the disproportionate number of minority children in ‘the system’ that I am requesting that an immediate investigation be conducted into the "legalized" kidnapping of our nations little Black and Brown children. These children are being ripped from the arms of loving parents with tons of extended family members and placed in foster and group homes. This is a big money business for the states and most of what they do is done in secrecy. If you have any doubt about the enormity of this problem, click on the link “Petition to Oprah” at www.fightcps.com -- there are almost 3,000 signatures on a petition, when the goal was 1,000. Please read comment #2,804 written by A Hampton on May 15th at 7:27 pm.

I recently watched several episodes of Adoption Stories on the Discovery Health Channel and everything became painstakingly clear. It appears that little children of color are being used in a modern day social experiment to appease gay and lesbian couples and their "right" to adopt children. Four of the five episodes were stories of little Black and/or Latino children taken from their families, placed into foster care, and adopted by Gay and Lesbian couples. I find it hard to believe that these children were without extended family members willing and able to adopt them prior to them being placed into the system. It is not my intention to offend members of the Gay and Lesbian community; I am merely advocating that in a parents willful or forced absence from their child, extended family members should be allowed to step in prior to handing the child over to strangers. Nevertheless, If you investigate the covert and often illegal tactics used by local police and child "protective" service agencies and the lucrative benefit to their respective states, you would understand why their criminal activity is allowed to continue. Let's be honest ... this is the year 2006 and Black families are seldom, if ever, allowed to adopt little White children and put them in their predominantly Black neighborhoods, schools, etc. However, it appears that it is ok to rip children of color from their communities, schools, friends, families, culture, and place them anywhere. Do you know what, if anything, Black religious and community leaders are doing about this?

HERE IS MY PERSONAL STORY:

Let me begin by saying this is not a family law issue. This is a case of racial profiling and discrimination, police and government employee misconduct, conspiracy and corruption, extreme defamation and slander. Most importantly, this is a case of civil and constitutional rights being violated which subsequently led to the family courts involvement.

Having stated the above, on January 1, 2005, my son was slapped in the face by my ex-boyfriend. I regrettably instructed him to call the police ... a mistake that we will feel the effects of for the rest of our lives. The police arrived, arrested the ex-boyfriend (Nick), and then joined me in the apartment. When asked, I told the officer that my son (Ty) informed me that Nick slapped him. Immediately the officer became irate and accused me of "Trying to protect my little boyfriend" and lying to his face. Perhaps he did not appreciate the way I phrased my response; but I stood there stunned by his reaction. According to the officer my son told him, during his interrogation without me or an attorney present, that I tried to prevent Nick from slapping him by saying "Do not hit my son." I was not in the restroom at the time of the incident, as I had alleged. If you can believe what the officer said, my son told him about every single argument Nick and I had ever had. The officer began telling me about an argument in Barstow California, to which I just listened. After less than two minutes in the apartment, the officer said "Oh ... you're unfit and this place is a mess! I asked why do you feel that I am unfit and tried to explain that we do not live here -- The studio apartment is being shared by Nick and his roommate Johnny. Also, if you're declaring me unfit "I'd like to exercise my right to remain silent until represented by counsel." The officer immediately looked into the open accordion style closet and saw nothing but men's clothing and Nike shoe boxes from one end to the other. He walked through the apartment and saw no indication that a woman or child lived in the apartment before exiting. As he walked away, I remember sitting on Johnny's bed stunned and wondering did he really say that I'm unfit. Knowing that my first born and only child for 10 years had never been a victim of abuse or neglect, I was certain that an investigation would prove his claim unsubstantiated. The officer then returned to the apartment and asked me if Ty had clothes here, to which I said no. Our clean clothes are in storage until we get the keys to our new place in two days. The officer then asked if Ty had any toys in the apartment and was given Ty's teddy bear and his two favorite cars -- He took the items and left the apartment. I stood up and followed him to the lobby and argued the legality of him removing my son from my care and custody and furthermore from an apartment that we do not live in. I asked to take my son and was denied. The officer was determined that I was an unfit mother. I kissed my son and told him that everything would be alright and to trust the officer.

The officer left with my son and I returned to the apartment. Shortly afterwards, a social worker knocked on the door and asked what happened. I told him the same thing that I had told the officer. He asked me about Ty's Dad, to which I said "He is absent." The social worker began to tell me that the officer had reported me as having said "The state can be his Daddy." Once again, I was stunned and in a cloud of complete confusion. I explained that this was no more than a feeble attempt to justify removing my son from an apartment that we do not live in. After all, it makes absolutely no sense that I would instruct my son to call the police and upon arrival I would say "Oh by the way officer ... while you're here, take my son ... the state can be his Daddy." I demanded the immediate return of my son, as we argued briefly. He left me a hand written document, and left the apartment.

Please take note: My son spent kindergarten, 1st grade, and 3rd grade in private schools before his legalized kidnapping, while in 4th grade. Also before being kidnapped by the state, just before his 10th birthday, he had visited Disney World, Disney Land, Sea World, The World Famous San Diego Zoo, The Wild Animal Park, Niagara Falls, The Hoover Dam, Las Vegas, climbed Lady Liberty in NY, visited the top floor of the Sears Tower in Chicago, and had taken TWO cross country trips, and was headed to Hawaii before being kidnapped, just to name a few. He had been involved in boys gymnastics, tennis, piano and guitar lessons, Chess, studied French and Spanish, lived in a gated community with a pool and Jacuzzi, above average in EVERY subject, straight A’s in private NOT public school, perfect attendance for years in school, etc. He was always impeccably dressed, because after all he is a reflection of me, to include professional hair cuts weekly at the barber shop. He had excellent private medical and dental coverage for years, and was not on public aid. He had BOTH a mother and father working to care for his every need. And most importantly, he has a mother that loves, adores, treasures, and cares for him like no other child I know. So you see if this happened to my child, IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANY CHILD!

In an effort to expedite this story, Child Protective Services (CPS) never gave me verbal or written notice of the jurisdiction/disposition hearing date. When I called the social worker to inquire about the date of the hearing, he told me that "The hearing will be towards the end of the month." This he would also later state in his report to the court. He also told me that CPS would send me written notice of the hearing, which they would intentionally send to the wrong address. Having missed the disposition hearing, my son was placed into foster care and a review hearing set for six months. After almost a month after my son's kidnapping, my then attorney and I finally received a copy of the "allegations" which were opened by the attorney in his office. Needless to say, I was simply shocked by the completely fabricated allegations. The officer and the social worker pretended that they had both interviewed me and I made several statement that were never made. I allegedly told them both that I do not want my son. I was accused of shoving him towards the officer and saying you can have him, etc. It was also stated that I provided them with his father's name and told them that he does not support Ty and I do not know where he lives. Nevertheless, I had received child support for years and submitted medical/dental receipts along with daycare expenses to his Dad so that he could pay his court ordered percentage. I was also accused of telling them both that we lived in the studio apartment. It was even reported that according to me or Ty, one of the two beds in the studio was shared by me and Nick. The second bed, which belonged to Nick's roommate Johnny, actually belonged to Ty. Also, Ty's open hand slap became a closed fist punch with a kick. It was also reported that I admitted to knowing about Nick's long criminal history which was somehow ok with me. I could go on and on quoting their lies -- all of which could have easily been proven false, if given the chance. The bottom line is, The officer did not have probable cause ... he created it! Although I exercised my right to remain silent, they exercised their right to create a story. My son was not the victim of abuse and neglect but assault on a minor. He would later also be victimized by several government employees ... to include the Regional Manager at CPS who boasts that he "Has been doing this for 18 years."

Without money or case exposure, my son is one of many Black and Brown children lost in a very broken and corrupt system. Never in my life have I personally experienced corruption and conspiracy on such a grand scale. This is the exact reason the O.J. Simpson trial divided the nation along racial lines. Blacks know, and believe, and have experienced the effects of what happens when police officers and their co-conspirators lie. It is truly amazing and deeply disappointing to know that their lies are often supported by the District Attorney's Office. I now stand embarrassed to say that I was one of few Blacks that thought O.J. was guilty.

As of April 7, 2006, I lost all hope that these glorified felons would be held accountable for their actions. Eagerly awaiting the criminal trial, since they managed to keep me from the juvenile hearing, I just knew in my heart that the DA's office would do the right thing. Most importantly, I would finally be able to expose every single lie told. It is my understanding that police reports are not allowed in lieu of actual testimony in criminal court. I was desperate to see if the officer, social worker, and regional manager would perjure themselves on the stand. However, on April 5, 2006, Nick was declared incompetent to stand trial. He was then transferred to a state mental hospital on April 7, 2006. It actually took the state 16 months to declare him incompetent to stand trial ... so there will be no criminal trial! Excellent work, don't you think, by the crooked cops, social workers, attorneys, and DA's office. They managed to prevent all involved parties from testifying in both the juvenile and criminal courts. What creative legal maneuvering! I can imagine them smiling and high-fiving' one another -- Another one bites the dust! Wow, what a close call!

In the meantime, my son is still in foster care. Nevertheless ... his grandmother, aunt, and uncle applied and were all approved for home placement in Illinois. CPS, however, is stating that my sister's home is inappropriate because "It was reported" that I moved to Illinois and now live with her. My mother was denied, according to CPS, with no reason given. My brother was completely removed from the equation with no explanation given. No one will provide us with a copy of the home study evaluation conducted on my mother or brother. My mom flew to California and personally requested a copy of the evaluation conducted in her home but her request was denied by the juvenile court. She then called Cheryl Brister @773-XXX-XXXX to find out why she made the decision to deny her home. Ms. Brister said "Ms. Major I did not deny your home ... I had no reason to deny you or your son ... If there is any funny business going on, it's going on in California." As a result of several unconstitutional and criminal acts, here is the new face of "neglect" ...

FKTMP7_0008

In the meantime, Grandma still waits in Illinois ...
SCAN0010_010
Although Grandma's home was approved for placement, which includes an Uncle who also lives in the building, who applied and was approved for placement, Ty remains in foster care ... with the recommendation from the current caseworker that he continues in "longterm" foster care with the current providers -- go figure!

I feel that Californias' refusal to release my son is their non verbal way of saying you'd better watch what you say and what you do because we still have your child. My son is an exceptionally gifted child. He is/was above average in every subject, had perfect attendance in school, is extremely athletic, and just a really great kid. I'm sure the current care giver who previously adopted two other children, would love to continue in the capacity of "mom;" However, this is not right and has never been right. Furthermore, he has a grandmother and uncle in Chicago that have been waiting for over a year now for his arrival now that I have been declared unfit. Please help us to expose this injustice. Most importantly, please help us free Ty from foster incarceration.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL POINTS TO CONSIDER

If by some chance Nick is now
extremely violent and insane, please answer the following:
Why after assaulting my son, was he released almost immediately from jail on his own recognizance and allowed to stay out for seven months while going back and forth to court?
Why was he paroled early from prison in October 2003? Also, why was he paroled to his sister's home who was also a single, working mom with an under-aged child?
Why was he not paroled to a halfway house or a facility designed to treat mental illness?
Why was he able to work, attend college, and do relatively well in the classes he chose to complete?
Why would his father, a Christian and longtime Deacon at a neighborhood church, move him into my gated luxury town home apartment just five months after he had been paroled early from prison ... where he would stay for three months before I put him out?
Why would his sister, who lived .6 miles from my apartment, pick him up six times per month from my home to attend church -- a church where it was recommended that he be a youth minister ... why would she send her son to our home to swim in our pool ... why would she allow us to take her son to the Circus ... but not inform me that this jail house Christian had some hidden mental problem and the propensity for violence?
Why would his Dad, who I would later find out is the payee on his SSI check, not share his son's mental or criminal background with me prior to moving him into my home ... knowing full well that I was a single, working mom, with a nine year old male child?
Why, if crazy, did he spend the preceding night before the assault (New Years Eve) partying with his new girlfriend? Let's not confuse the lingering effects of what may very well have been drugs and/or alcohol as insanity.
Most importantly, when I found out that he was on parole, got a restraining order against him, found out who his parole agent was, walked the restraining order into the parole office, shared a copy of the restraining order with the duty officer ... why was his parole not revoked and him sent back to prison; After all he had only been out of prison for nine months at that time. why would his parole agent call me to advise that she had made contact with him at his sister's home, issued him a warning, and assured me that everything should be ok? I'll tell you why ... according to Nick, his parole agent is the daughter of a longtime member of his father's church.
Why, when I tried to remove him from my home would the police show up, issue him a warning, and escort him from my home without notifying his parole agent that contact had been made with one of their parolees.
Why, when he appeared unexpectedly in my parking lot and jumped into my car with my son present, would I drive him to the closest police station for intervention (this being his second contact in one day with the police ... the Barstow incident being the first) and once again the police did not notify his parole agent and his parole, yet again, was not revoked. So I ask you who is actually guilty of negligence?
Why was he competent to stand trial for every other crime he committed but not able to stand trial for slapping my son? I will answer this question as well -- for fear of the following crimes being exposed:
1. Racial profiling and discrimination.
2. Violating our civil and constitutional rights along with felony perjury.
3. Corruption and conspiracy as well as defamation and slander.
4. Falsifying police and juvenile court petition reports.
5. Falsifying WIC reports 300 (b) & (g) -- No provision for support and failure to protect.
6. Police and government employee gross misconduct.

If you are a civil rights attorney or know of an attorney that may be willing to help us, please contact me. If not, please circulate this letter to as many people as you possibly can.

Please tell everyone you know that federal laws are being violated all day, everyday in Riverside California's Juvenile Courts and throughout our country. Police and social workers are allowed to completely fabricate stories in the juvenile court and their falsified reports, unlike in criminal court, are allowed as evidence in lieu of actual testimony. They are not held accountable for their criminal actions. Also, did you know that CPS is not required to serve parents with the actual dates of each hearing? They are only required to make "reasonable effort" to notify parents of the hearings. In my case, "reasonable effort" meant we will not notify her of the hearing date but we will all pretend that she was issued verbal notification. Additionally, any written correspondence will be mailed to parents three calendar days before review hearings ... preferably late Friday evening which would allow only 1.5 - 2.0 days for delivery. Now imagine how great it would be if we were only required to make reasonable effort before suing someone in small claims, civil, or divorce court ... or issues involving paternity or eviction. I speculate that due process would be a thing of the past and all court orders would be the direct result of a default judgment.

I have been told that justice delayed is justice denied, but I will continue fighting. In an effort to expose this injustice, even if it takes me years, I will push for legislation that requires the juvenile court to uphold constitutional laws and civil rights. The violations that are taking place behind the closed doors of the juvenile courts are examples of domestic human rights abuse and this should not be allowed in the United States of America!

If you are a parent, sister or brother, cousin, grandparent, aunt, or uncle, or simply a concerned citizen who has been or know someone that has been victimized by current child protective service laws; please contact me with your story.

It is time to join together in a nationwide, organized and peaceful protest to demand that our civil and constitutional rights NOT continue to be disregarded and trampled on. Do not be ashamed to tell your story. Please find the courage to join me in my fight to keep our nations children protected from the true criminals who knowingly, willfully, and maliciously jeopardize their emotional and physical safety. Many of us are single working moms/dads or "the working poor" and do not have the resources to fight them ... which is exactly what they are counting on. It is time to use our collective voices and pool our resources to demand change!

I am not sure when justice in America became something that only the rich could afford, especially here in California, but it is time for a change! Although we may not have money, we have a voice -- Let's use it!

[UPDATE: July 7, 2006]

Well, well, well … what a difference seven months can make. Or should I say … what a difference a change in jurist and some much needed but unwanted attention can make!

After the District Attorney’s office declared Nick “Incompetent to Stand Trial,” in December 2005 ... this date according to the DA's office, it was to our surprise that his mental state miraculously improved on Friday, July 7, 2006.

It appears that, after a short stay in a state hospital, his mental competency has improved to the point that a judge has declared him now “Competent to Stand Trial,” and criminal proceedings are to resume! Who knows … maybe justice will eventually be served and ALL criminals in this case will be brought to justice!

There will be a “Mandatory Settlement Conference” on July 26, 2006. In the meantime, Ty is still in foster care -- Lets see what happens next!

[UPDATE: July 26, 2006]

Mandatory Settlement Conference set for August 3, 2006.

[UPDATE: August 7, 2006]

The hearing scheduled for August 3rd was continued to August 7th.

On August 7th, the games reconvened! And although the licensed professionals at the State hospital declared Nick competent to stand trial; THE COURT has its doubt. So now that THE COURT “doubts” the defendant’s mental competency AGAIN, criminal proceedings are ONCE AGAIN suspended. I tell you … anything to avoid a trial! You would think this guy was on trial for murder! But I guess because the State CANNOT, legally, build a case on information THEY KNOW is false … this takes veryyyyyy careful maneuvering.

I am willing to bet you guys in cyber land that he will once again be declared incompetent … sent BACK to the State hospital, where they can take up to one year to “get him ready" for trial, and then there still will be NO TRIAL. What do you guys think? After another stay in “The Hospital,” do you think he will simply be declared certifiably insane, and simply released “Time Served?” I think so. One year in county jail and another one in the State hospital should DEFINITELY avoid putting the lying cop, social worker, and additional CPS employees, ready to lie at the drop of a dime when called upon, on the stand … this, although under oath.

The licensed team players/court actors, or should I say doctors assigned to “examine” the defendant and furnish a written report to the court, have been told to do so on or before September 11, 2006. I personally think the social workers, judges, attorneys for the state, and others who knowingly participate in the mental and physical torture of OUR children and innocent parents, should be ordered to take psychological evaluations ... because they TRULY are sick! As well as, those allowing this to continue without putting an end to it.

It is interesting that September 11, 2006 was chosen as the next court date -- this being the anniversary of the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster. Our government and the world cried because almost 4,000 innocent people were killed; why isn’t the world crying for the 500,000 innocent children in foster care. Many of whom are simply there because their parents were not given due process, their day in court, or had every single right afforded by our Constitution and additional laws of our land violated. Poverty is NO JUSTIFICTION for kidnapping, and the black-market selling of children!

Check back after September 11th for another update.

[UPDATE: September 11, 2006]

Hearing Status: DISPOSED

“The boyfriend,” title given to him by the responding “officer,” has once again been declared mentally INCOMPETENT to stand trial. Here is the exact quote: “Court has read and considered reports of the duly appointed doctor(s) and counsel stipulate that the court MAY base its finding on said reports.”

I’m just a little curious … any idea why the court decided that it MAY NOT use the findings of the previous licensed professionals that declared him competent to stand trial, after a short stay in “the hospital?” Well, I guess if you’re trying to avoid a circus-like trial, which would unavoidably and inevitably lead to putting a bunch of liars on the stand, then it’s smart to go with the “duly appointed” doctors “professional” assessments. Don’t you just love the legal jargon “the court MAY base its finding on said reports”— Ohhh to be a legal beagle DEFINITELY has its advantages!

In the meantime, Ty remains in foster care; but who cares – right? As long as your own children are safe and secure in the comfort of their homes and you can kiss them goodnight, and they are not living in the home of strangers, THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS!!! The world is a gloriously wonderful place!

Now that “The boyfriend” has ONCE AGAIN been declared incompetent to stand trial, there will be a hearing regarding placement October 13, 2006 – this should be interesting! Maybe we should start placing wagers on what these "professionals" will do next. I’m thinking stick him back in “the hospital” for 90 days and simply release him – what do you think?

Check back after October 13th!!! The saga continues.

Take note: Said child, Ty, has now been in foster care for almost two years without a jury trial in either court (juvenile or criminal). Not only has he been held in foster incarceration for almost two years, but the “crime” allegedly committed by his mother was so severe that he is not allowed to telephone her, his grandmother, aunts, uncles, or cousins.

[UPDATE: October 13, 2006]

Hearing Status: Disposed

As of today’s date, no record has been received from the Department of Mental Health; therefore, criminal proceedings remain “adjourned/suspended.”

Defendant has been referred to county mental health for recommendation regarding placement – report due November 3rd, 2006.
