Local Mom: My Daughter Was Abused In Foster Care
http://cbs11tv.com/topstories/local_...158180537.html Stephanie Lucero Reporting (CBS 11 News) McKINNEY A North Texas mother claims her daughter was physically, emotionally and sexually abused while in foster care. "I'm just beside myself and so is my daughter," said Teresa Canales. "My daughter's behavior is never going to be the same, I don't believe." Canales says her 16-year-old autistic daughter was temporarily taken away from her. There was an allegation of neglect -- an accusation she denies. "They not only didn't protect her," said Canales' attorney, John Stewart. "They put her in a situation where she was physically abused." Canales showed us a picture showing bruises she says her daughter received after being tied up and beaten by other teenage children in the foster home. She wanted to take more pictures and report it to police. But Canales says employees of the Texas Department of Child Protective Services threatened to put her daughter in a state-run institution if she did. "Because she had been tied up and abused and had bruising across her," Canales said. "She had been abused severely and she had� a police report should have been made and they told me I better calm down or it was going to get bad for me." In a lawsuit filed today by Canales' attorneys, she claims foster parents Larry and Gwen Chapman failed to supervise the children in their care. "And they failed to protect this little girl from abuse," Stewart said. "And if it was one occasion, we wouldn't be here. But this was a repeated event over four months, happened every week and there's no excuse for that." We tried to talk to CPS and the foster parents named in this lawsuit, but they wouldn't comment. Teresa Canales says she's afraid to go up against the system. But she thinks it's worth helping other children who may need protection. 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... |
