Texas Shame
Texas Shame by BigJolly | 05/13/2008 3:56 pm http://lonestartimes.com/2008/05/13/texas-shame/ Pregnant adult women held in captivity until childbirth so that the state can take possession of the baby. Think this can’t happen in the US? In Texas? Think again. Texas Child Protective Services said today at a custody hearing for a child born to one of the YFZ Ranch children that the agency no longer believes the mother is a minor. Today’s custody hearing was continued to Friday to allow attorneys to prepare. The mother will need a new attorney because the attorneys representing her also are representing other minors and were concerned about conflicts of interest. Knowing full well that this mother is an adult, what will the state attempt to do when the hearing resumes? When the hearing resumes, state officials said, they will continue to seek custody of the infant. Think this is an isolated case? Think again. It happened again yesterday. A 22 year old woman with two children was held in captivity until she gave birth. A mother taken from a polygamist sect and being held as a minor in state custody gave birth Monday to a baby boy who was immediately taken into child-protective custody. The new mother has claimed she is 22 and has filed a writ of habeas corpus to be freed from state custody. Her 24 year old husband received an emergency court order to stop the state from whisking the child off to a foster home. State District Judge Orlinda Naranjo issued an injunction that temporarily halted CPS’ plan to move the mother, the newborn and the couple’s two other children, ages 2 and 3, to San Antonio within hours of the delivery at an Austin birthing center. The judge said the mother and the three youngsters will remain in Travis County until after a hearing Thursday on Mr. Jessop’s request that another district judge in Austin, Darlene Byrne, order his wife and children released from state care. So where did CPS put the woman and her newborn for the night, hours after the birth? Because CPS had no foster care placement in Travis County that was suitable for the newborn, the mother and child were poised to spend the night in a CPS office, a lawyer for the husband said. “This woman has been removed from the birthing center with a brand new baby boy and is now sitting in the offices of CPS because they don’t have anywhere else to put her,” Ms. Matassarin said. Why would the state not release a 22 year old woman? Rod Parker, an attorney and spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, accused state officials of deliberately holding a pregnant mother they to knew to be of legal age so they could take her baby into custody upon birth. “They just wanted to keep the mother in custody until they could get the baby,” Parker said. In a million years, you could not have convinced me that this would be allowed to take place in the United States of America, much less the State of Texas. Until I witnessed it happening before my very eyes. Think it can’t happen to you? Think again. 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.

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.
