State House Passes Folmer's Foster Family Bill
State House Passes Folmer's Foster Family Bill
http://www.thebulletin.us/site/news.... 618959&rfi=6 Harrisburg - The state House of Representatives yesterday unanimously passed a bill giving foster parents greater input into the permanent placement of the children under their care. Unanimously passed last week by the state Senate, Senate Bill 1156 sponsored by Sen. Mike Folmer (R-Lebanon) would bring state policy into line with the federal Child and Family Services Improvement Act of 2006. In addition to guaranteeing foster parents the right to speak at the children's permanency hearings, the bill also requires a court to take account of the dependent children's views on future placement. "Ultimately, this bill will help ensure that the best scenario for children is achieved," Mr. Folmer said. Many advocates for dependent children reside in Mr. Folmer's district and have written him to apprise him of the fact that the deadline for the state to comply with the 2006 federal law would come at the end of this year. If the state failed to act, it would stand to lose as much as $300,000,000 in federal grant money. The bill was sent after passage to Gov. Ed Rendell's (D) desk for his signature. It would take effect by January 1, 2008. 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 PROGRAMS.... 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. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... 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... |
