St. Petersburg DCF files to get privacy review...
St. Petersburg DCF files to get privacy review
By MELANIE AVE Published July 3, 2007 http://www.sptimes.com/2007/07/03/So..._DCF_fil.shtml A judge Monday delayed releasing state child welfare records on a former Pinellas County foster child whose caseworker failed to report her missing for four months, to give a child advocacy attorney time to review them for privacy concerns. Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Chief Judge David Demers said he believes there is "good cause" to release the records on Courtney Clark because of an overriding public interest in the case. But first, he ordered the Florida Department of Children and Families to allow the records to be examined by Christina Clemenson, attorney for the Guardian ad Litem program. Courtney, now 2, disappeared with her mother from a Sorrento foster home in September, but her caseworker did not report her missing to the Lake County Sheriff's Office until January. The delayed hunt ended June 14 when authorities found Courtney at a Portage, Wis., home. She and her two younger sisters were found safe, but an 11-year-old boy was found mutilated and starving in a closet and his mother's body was found buried in the back yard. On Monday, Clemenson joined a Wisconsin attorney representing the four children in asking the judge to weigh the children's privacy rights against the public's interest. Unless Clemenson finds objectionable information in the 885 pages of records, in which names and other information have been removed, Demers said, they will be given to the St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune at 8 a.m. Friday. [Last modified July 3, 2007, 00:50:24] 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... |
