Hospital Officials, Family Struggle With Boy's Fate: Child ProtectiveServices would be taking custody if they didn't take him home to Mexico.
Hospital Officials, Family Struggle With Boy's Fate
Romero Needs Extensive Medical Attention http://www.ksat.com/news/14008740/de...s=ant&psp=news POSTED: 10:48 pm CDT August 29, 2007 UPDATED: 10:55 pm CDT August 29, 2007 SAN ANTONIO -- The clock is ticking on a boy's life, but now his family is embroiled in a battle to keep custody of him. The Night Team's Jennifer Dodd reported that Jesus Romero, 14, has seen very little of America. He's a Mexican national and has been in the hospital since he has been in the U.S. undergoing dozens of surgeries. He's doing better but has one last hurdle, Dodd said. Hospital officials said he's not ready for a transplant. They said he first needs to go home, get weekly dialysis treatments and get stronger. His sisters said they can take him, but they said they can't afford the $250,000-a-year treatments. In a meeting with Methodist officials, Romero's sisters were informed that Child Protective Services would be taking custody of Romero if they didn't take him home. Romero can't go back to Mexico, his sisters said, because he has no family there. If he stays at Methodist Hospital, CPS could take him from the only family he knows. State Rep. Joaquin Castro has been advocating for the family for months, and even he admitted there is no easy answer. "Jesus is at such a critical point (that) really for him every day counts," Castor said. Romero said he knows that he needs help, but he said he doesn't know from where it is going to come. "I'd like to ask them to help me live, if they can help me live, so I don't get sick anymore," Romero said. Methodist Hospital officials said they have dished out more than $2 million to treat Romero over the last nine months. They said they care deeply for Romero and are just trying to do what's best for him and his medical needs. Copyright 2007 by KSAT.com All rights reserved.

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... |
