Default FLDS couple notches another court victory


FLDS couple notches another court victory

An FLDS couple won another temporary court victory Monday. But their
quest to gain full legal custody of their children from Texas officials
is still up in the air.

Joseph and Lori Jessop appeared before a judge in San Antonio to ask for
"full possessory rights" to their three children. They've been fighting
to separate themselves from the massive Texas Child Protective Services
case involving hundreds of children from the Fundamentalist LDS Church.

Attorneys with the Texas Attorney General's Office asked Monday that the
case be heard in San Angelo, where Judge Barbara Walther originally
ordered all children removed from the YFZ Ranch and placed into state
custody. San Antonio judge Martha Tanner declined to give up
jurisdiction, said Teresa Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Jessops' attorney.

Lawyers from the attorney general's office then notified the judge that
they intended to file an appeal with the 4th Court of Appeals. Tanner
agreed to put the case on hold and issued a temporary restraining order
to keep CPS investigators away from the children pending the appeal.

"There was a lot of procedural back and forths," Kelly said of the hearing.

The San Antonio judge had harsh words for the state attorneys, according
to a report in the San Antonio Express-News.

I'm not going to allow CPS or any other agency to interfere with parents
in this state," Tanner said.

After one of the couple's children were sent to a foster facility in San
Antonio, the Jessops went to a judge there and won a temporary
restraining order May 13, preventing CPS from separating their infant
son from his mother when he turned 1 year old. CPS had allowed mothers
of children younger than 1 to remain with them in the facilities.

The court also granted the parents temporary custody of their three
children until Monday's review hearing. Days later, the Texas Supreme
Court ruled that CPS had improperly placed the approximately 450 FLDS
children in state custody and ordered them all returned to their families.

The children were returned, but Walther imposed conditions on their
release — including allowing CPS access to their homes for unannounced
visits to conduct medical, psychological or psychiatric examinations.
The Jessops have argued there has been no evidence of abuse in their
family and have sought to be removed from the CPS case and the
conditions placed on the other families.

Texas investigators raided the ranch in April on a telephone tip about
abuse. That phone call appears to have been a hoax, but CPS officials
said they found evidence of sexual abuse there.



An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and
the Child Protection "INDUSTRY"

Child Protective Services Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of CPS.

every parent should read the free handbook from
connecticut dcf watch...

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/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13
Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12
Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological 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.

THIS IS AMERICA'S HIDDEN HOLOCAUST

Currently Child Protective Services violates more constitutionally
guaranteed liberties & civil rights on a daily basis then all other
agencies combined, Including the National Security agency/Central
intelligence agency wiretaping programs…

A recent study has found that 12-18 months after leaving foster ca

30% of the nation’s homeless are former foster children.
27% of the males and 10% of the females had been incarcerated
33% were receiving public assistance
37% had not finished high school
2% receive a college degree
50% were unemployed

Children in foster care are three to six times more likely than children
not in care to have emotional, behavioral and developmental problems,
including conduct disorders, depression, difficulties in school and
impaired social relationships. Some experts estimate that about 30% of
the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various
studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care
tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school
compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their
education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment
than the general population.
*Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support

80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system.

The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn
of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child
psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should
just be blown up.

http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991

Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s
foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing.

This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would
have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in
the first place.

The bottom line? - Child Protective Services and the Foster Care system
for the most part turns out young adults that are nothing more than
walking wreckage...

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CONSTITUTIONALLY
GUARANTEED LIBERTIES & CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER
AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS....

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...
