Social worker rules in dispute over disabled couple's 10 children
Social worker rules in dispute over disabled couple's 10 children
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...40-662,00.html Craig Binnie September 03, 2007 12:00am AN intellectually disabled couple with 10 children are at the centre of a dispute with child protection workers over who is best able to care for their children. A Children's Court has heard allegations of over-zealous child protection workers acting simply to justify their existence. But the Department of Human Services claims the children have been forced to sleep on mattresses on the floor in bedrooms that smelled of urine. In one of the fiercest attacks on the credibility of the department in the Children's Court in recent times, a highly experienced former childcare worker accused child protection staff of seeing things in a way that suited themselves. The man said the staff considered children taking two steps out of a playground to be so big a problem that they had to intervene. The beliefs of the department's expert witnesses were also questioned when one recommended a child be given a feather duster or cloth to play with instead of shaving cream for a tactile experience. The case revolves around how much time the mildly intellectually disabled parents should be allowed to see their three youngest children, whom the department put into foster care. Child protection workers have painted the couple as being unable to adequately care for their children, up to six of whom are also believed to be mildly intellectually disabled. But the former worker said the couple were loving and capable parents who were raising their children to be happier than those in many so-called normal families. Two of the workers, flanked by their lawyer, refused to comment outside the court on the allegation that they created problems to justify their existence. The magistrate in the case was critical of the department's witnesses, likening the workers' expectation of what should occur during child access visits to what one could expect in Stalinist Russia. 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. 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... |
