FLDS couple notches another court victory
FLDS couple notches another court victory By Brian West Deseret News Published: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 12:06 a.m. MDT http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700233634,00.html An FLDS couple won another temporary court victory Monday. But their quest to gain full legal custody of their children from Texas officials is still up in the air. Joseph and Lori Jessop appeared before a judge in San Antonio to ask for "full possessory rights" to their three children. They've been fighting to separate themselves from the massive Texas Child Protective Services case involving hundreds of children from the Fundamentalist LDS Church. Attorneys with the Texas Attorney General's Office asked Monday that the case be heard in San Angelo, where Judge Barbara Walther originally ordered all children removed from the YFZ Ranch and placed into state custody. San Antonio judge Martha Tanner declined to give up jurisdiction, said Teresa Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Jessops' attorney. Lawyers from the attorney general's office then notified the judge that they intended to file an appeal with the 4th Court of Appeals. Tanner agreed to put the case on hold and issued a temporary restraining order to keep CPS investigators away from the children pending the appeal. "There was a lot of procedural back and forths," Kelly said of the hearing. The San Antonio judge had harsh words for the state attorneys, according to a report in the San Antonio Express-News. I'm not going to allow CPS or any other agency to interfere with parents in this state," Tanner said. After one of the couple's children were sent to a foster facility in San Antonio, the Jessops went to a judge there and won a temporary restraining order May 13, preventing CPS from separating their infant son from his mother when he turned 1 year old. CPS had allowed mothers of children younger than 1 to remain with them in the facilities. The court also granted the parents temporary custody of their three children until Monday's review hearing. Days later, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that CPS had improperly placed the approximately 450 FLDS children in state custody and ordered them all returned to their families. The children were returned, but Walther imposed conditions on their release — including allowing CPS access to their homes for unannounced visits to conduct medical, psychological or psychiatric examinations. The Jessops have argued there has been no evidence of abuse in their family and have sought to be removed from the CPS case and the conditions placed on the other families. Texas investigators raided the ranch in April on a telephone tip about abuse. That phone call appears to have been a hoax, but CPS officials said they found evidence of sexual abuse there. An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and the Child Protection "INDUSTRY" Child Protective Services Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of CPS. every parent should read the free handbook from connecticut dcf watch... 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/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13 Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12 Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological 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.

Some experts estimate that about 30% of the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment than the general population. *Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support 80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system.
