1. The children are removed from the family they know and love and put with strangers without being told why. If they are told anything, it is negative against the parents in an attempt to discredit them and destroy the relationship. If the child sees that the allegations are false, nobody will believe them when they try to tell the truth. They feel completely helpless and devastated. Swat teams are becoming more frequent busting through doors and aiming rifles at the whole family including the children.

2. They may act out because of the removal and doctors will prescribe psychotropic or antipsychotic medications. These medications have horrific side affects and may not be suitable for children whatsoever. This is child abuse at its worst but because the doctors have titles everyone is supposed to assume they have people's best interest at heart. They do not. One of the medications that is gaining in prescribed frequency is Seroquel . http://bipolar-disorder.emedtv.com/seroquel/seroquel-side-effects-p2.html This drug has a rapid onset of type one diabetes. In other words, a perfectly healthy child may find themselves an insulin dependent victim for life at the hands of the family physician. Frequently doctors are taking action under the pressure of schools, daycares and the financial incentives of pharmaceutical companies. Why is the state encouraging such a thing? Because once a child becomes "special needs" the money to the state triples and goes as high as $50,000. Follow the money trail and see who is taking money from pharmaceutical companies in the house and senate. Know that this is where the corruption starts. http://www.infowars.com/articles/brave_new_world/fosterkids_drugs.htm http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354129,00.html      http://ahrp.blogspot.com/2007/08/skyrocketing-antipsychotic-drug-use-in.html 

It is my opinion that doctors who prescribe medications that are not approved for use in children should have their licenses revoked and be charged with child abuse.

3.  Children are ostracized from their family immediately under the term "detox" where the parents are denied  visitation or regular visitation initially. The thinking behind that action is absurd and heartless for all parties. Not only do the children lose contact with the parents, but often any extended family they might be close to. The legislature has deliberately avoided passing laws that give extended family visitation in CPS care. I personally fought for grandparents to have visitation with children in CPS care and all elected officials on both sides of the house refused. This shows the power of CPS and the ability of the child savers to brain wash our elected officials.  Occasionally visitation is allowed, but the vast majority of grandparents and other extended family get denied.

4. Statistics show that six to one, children are more likely to get abused or killed in CPS care than in family care. Children tend to thrive more in family care over placed care even when their family is dysfunctional.   http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/sloan-fostercare-study-0703.html

Parents find themselves in unfamiliar territory.....

PARENTS: Parents find themselves in unfamiliar territory and usually don't know what their rights are. The system prefers that and ignores Title IV funds that encourage community education. Faced with removed children, they go into a panic stricken emotional state looking at their options which are few. The horrified parents find out quickly that little to no proof of wrongdoing is required to remove children and the reporter doesn't have to be a solid citizen. Because the Federal Government has passed discriminatory laws aimed at the removal of children from poorer families, hiring a lawyer is moot. If the allegations are false that doesn't matter. Either they will have to admit their guilt or lose their children forever. If the parent(s) agree to their terms, more than likely they will lose their jobs and end up homeless. The system will tax their time, money and ability to stand on their feet until they have lost everything. The system is supposed to work toward family reunification. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the state finds that there is more money in adopting out children.

The parents frequently stand by and watch what the state does to their children in horror and have no say in the process.  Sometimes the children are abused in foster care and the parental pleas go unheard. Often children  get moved from home to home and lose all stability. They watch their children get drugged, physically and sexually abused, and moved around like sacks of potatoes. Complaints are recorded as a lack of co-operation and poor attitude. If the parents didn't have mental health issues at the onset of CPS action, they will after a few months.

Its a weird sick twist in the plot of child removal.....

EXTENDED FAMILY:  Well meaning extended family might be the ones who called CPS only to discover they are not their friend.  CPS will actually use the fact that extended family called child protection against the parents and use it as a schism between extended family and parents. There is a smug look of prideful self satisfaction that crosses the faces of CPS workers as they tell extended family they have no rights and no visitation. It is a weird, sick twist in the plot of child removal. The picked up children may never be seen or heard again.  The state is supposed to place children with extended family but they are usually screened out. This is hard to believe by some who got through the process easily, but know that the easy placements are few and far between. Usually, CPS looks hard for reasons to not place with family and uses a different and less strict set of criteria with foster placements. This picture again is clear by looking at statistics.

Here in Washington State, only 1/3 are placed with relatives, the rest are used for Title IV funding of the State interests. This statistic is actually deceptively high, because it only includes long term dependency action, not those that are eventually released back to the family under unsubstantiated claims. If you pick up that phone, there is a 75% chance that you will not see the children again for years, and maybe never. The government is a poor substitute for the family working out their own problems. Sometimes it just can't be avoided if the adult children are on a drug addicted child neglect roll and refuse all reason. Most phone calls aren't necessary, however, and should be avoided. The government has way, way too much power and is training their workers to involve themselves fully gaining information in every facet of the family's life then overpowering each member with prescribed services.

Foster families are often the target of false accusations.......

FOSTER FAMILIES: Some may be surprised and even upset that I included them. Actually, they are nothing more than warehouses for children yet are frequently promised children for adoption by the case workers. Because of the shortage of foster families and the rather large exodus out of that business, the state will tell families just about anything to get a placement. Foster families are often the target of false accusations and are not provided attorney services to defend themselves. They too, find that they become attached to children only to have them pulled out of the home and often for reasons that are not fair to them or the children. Foster care organizations are starting to actually stick up for parents who they see as victims frequently. They may not get accurate information about the family and find out later that the accusations against the family and the state actions were not appropriate and even illegal. Many fosters get disgusted with the lies and criminal behavior on the part of the state and leave fostering never to return. True enough, there are fosters out there that see the whole process as a competitive endeavor and destroy the family in any way possible to obtain full custody. Horror stories abound with unethical actions to keep someone else's children, yet more are starting to get the full picture of state actions. The state often keeps fosters and parents apart so that they can't compare notes or hear each other's side of the story.

So, how are they getting away with it all? First and foremost, they are misinterpreting the Constitution by focusing on the amendments that are most favorable to the government and ignoring all others. It is a misapplied standard of pathological lawmaking. Then the Federal Government is handing out huge sums of money to each state with incentives to adopt out children but not preserve the family. This all by itself creates a significant imbalance in schools of thought regarding child safety. The money goes to organizations that the government has declared "immune" from lawsuits and community action giving these groups unlimited power and control. Our legislative bodies have made laws that encourage abuse of power through "disclaimers" where the law says one thing then a single statement in the presented law takes all the power out of the hands of the People and back into the State. I challenge each reader to look through the RCWs and see how many laws in there regarding child safety falls into the category I am refering to. After you are done, copy and paste those laws and send a copy to your legislator requesting revision.

Then there are the court rules which are clearly biased in regards to processing the "conviction" of parents. Using "expert testimony" that may or may not even be familiar with the case, these overpriced morons are destroying family after family with bogus opinion that tax payers are supporting at the tune of $500 to $1000 per hearing. Because they discriminate by targeting only poor populations who can't afford their own "expert" they find themselves trapped in an adversarial situation with no way out.

The conviction through family courts is done by civil law and not criminal, using a low level standard of proof to remove children. In some cases, family court is done in a juvenile setting and what people don't realize is they have absolutely no rights because it falls under juvenile law. This is the case in Thurston County where the pilot project is a major threat to Civil Rights.

It is critical at the beginning stages of CPS action to document everything large and small, then STUDY, STUDY, STUDY all the applicable laws, know what you should get in the court file, make copies of everything and start your own file, obtain a copy of their file, and get ready for the appeals process. The chances are real high you will need that process and the more you have prepared for it, the more likely getting out of the lower courts and into the appellate process can be successful. THIS APPLIES TO PARENTS, EXTENDED FAMILY AND FOSTER PARENTS.
