Judge upset about foster care....
Judge upset about foster care
By Lisa Marchesoni - July 3, 2007 - 3:58 PM http://www.murfreesboropost.com/news.php?viewStory=5150 Operators of Therapeutic Intervention will be ordered into Juvenile Court to explain why a child in state custody remained with a foster family whose adult son is on the state’s sexual offender registry. During a hearing Tuesday, Juvenile Court Judge Donna Scott Davenport asked why Therapeutic Intervention, an agency that contracts with the state, allowed the child to stay with the family, even though the adult son lives in Franklin. She set another hearing in September to hear from the group’s attorney and operators whom she said were supposed to attend the hearing. “I want to shut them (Therapeutic Intervention) down,” Davenport said, explaining that potential foster families with a relative convicted of a less serious charge cannot be foster parents. Attorney Stacy Miller of the Department of Children’s Services said the state will review its contract with Therapeutic Intervention and will suspend admissions with the contractor. “This home seems to be totally inappropriate,” Miller said. A Therapeutic Intervention employee, who conducted the home study, said the adult son was convicted of statutory rape and doesn’t live with his parents. The information was included in her home study. The foster child never had contact with the sex offender. Davenport asked if the state was aware of his conviction and inclusion on the state’s sexual offender registry. DCS attorney Jim Wiseman said the documentation was in the file but added the son was not allowed at the home and was not allowed to be around the foster children unsupervised. Davenport expressed concerns about similar placements statewide. Miller said DCS would make sure no foster children remain in the household. Davenport said she’s holding the agency responsible. She was disturbed that Therapeutic Intervention sent a trainer but not an operator or attorney. If they do not attend the next hearing, she threatened to arrest them for failure to appear in her court. “I have to be the watchdog of our children,” Davenport said. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY 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. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
