Dirty redaction?
I'm surprised the Judge didn't rubber stamp for CPS on this.

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has ordered the release of Child
Protective Services case files for three Tucson children who were under
its watch.

Judge Edward O. Burke ordered the release of the case files to the
Arizona Daily Star and the Arizona Republic, which sued for them.

The case files are for 5-year-old Brandon Williams, who died in March
from a skull fracture; 4-year-old Ariana Payne, whose body was found in
a trash bin in February; and Ariana's brother, Tyler, 5, who is presumed
dead, although his remains have not been found.

In both the Williams and Payne cases, a parent, along with an
accomplice, has been charged with killing them.

While Burke said CPS did an "admirable" job removing confidential
information from the Williams file, he was extremely critical of heavy
redactions from the Payne files.

The judge said, "Many of the proposed redactions make little sense,"
adding that the amount of information CPS wanted to remove from the
Payne files would make the records "practically meaningless to even the
brightest journalist."

Burke provided an outline for what should be restored to the files. It's
unknown when the case files will be released.

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA
WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....

CPS Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of Child Protective Services.
