A foster father for a 2-year-old girl who suffered brain injuries has
been indicted on a first-degree assault charge.

Portland police arrested 37-year-old Cesar Cruz-Reyes late Tuesday and
booked him into the justice center jail, police said.

He was indicted in the case of toddler Stephanie Kuntupis, who lost
consciousness and collapsed June 22 in her foster parents' home. She was
rushed to Legacy Emanuel Children's Hospital with bleeding around her
brain and remained there for two months.

Her injuries prompted a state investigation that found that
child-welfare workers apparently didn't interview Cruz-Reyes before
certifying him as a foster parent and didn't make sure he took the
required 10 hours of training before sending children to live in his house.

The workers also knew that Cruz- Reyes had a criminal history, which
included lying to police. And they knew his wife, Michele Cruz- Reyes,
had a criminal history, too. But the state didn't find their criminal
history significant enough to reject the couple's application to become
foster parents.

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...

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.
