A thought: Child welfare as a money-making enterprise department?
A thought: Child welfare as a money-making enterprise department
Posted by RiShawn Biddle http://blogs.indystar.com/expresso/a...ght_child.html "You should have heard how the Illinois agencies used to proclaim that money had nothing – nothing – to do with their decisions. The reason there was 50,000 children in foster care, back in 1996, was just that these cases were soooooooo difficult and the children simply HAD to be with them for a long, long, time. "But in 1997, the state of Illinois broke the stranglehold of the agencies and forced through a change in financial incentives that rewarded agencies for finding permanent homes and punished them for holding children in foster care. Lo and behold: The “intractable” became tractable, the “dysfunctional” became functional. Today, the number of children trapped in foster care in Illinois is under 17,000. And independent, court-appointed monitors say the children are safer. "The funny thing is, I’m sure Doctor Franson really believes money has no impact on the decisions made at The Villages. But what happened in Illinois, and most changes in financial incentives in most human endeavors, not just child welfare, prove otherwise. "Rationalization is powerful. It can take a change in how one is paid to start seeing children and families as they really are." -- Richard Wexler of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, in an e-mail responding to The Star's story on the merger of the Villages with Prevent Child Abuse Indiana and the economic incentives in the child welfare sector. A reminder that economic incentives are a major player in all activities, even on behalf of the children. P.S. be sure to read the comments http://blogs.indystar.com/expresso/a...ght_child.html they're very informative... FX 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... |

A thought: Child welfare as a money-making enterprise department?
Kane wrote
You have an agenda. To discredit CPS. CPS discredits and disgraces THEMSELVES better than anybody else possibly could! How many families did you think they could tear up before it would catch up to them in terms of public testimonials and video footage of their outright abuse of families? To do this you will say anything, do anything in the way of tricking yourself and trying to trick others. Are you getting desperate Donald? Did you see all of the public comments on that Indiana article? The fact is all the gimmicks tried have NOT been proven to work. CPS agencies have had to make excuses for over THIRTY YEARS! They haven't even come close to fulfilling their obligations. The CPS corporate or agency culture is like a religious cult and extremely resistant to meaningful change. You are stupid, or liars. Or both. You WORKED for the Oregon CPS agency, you're an arrogant Megalomaniac and a GROUPIE or Lobbyist for the Child Protection INDUSTRY. You have an agenda to defend the BUREAUCRACY! You deliberately posted gratuitous public profanity for over a YEAR and bragged about it! Was that your way of enhancing the Public Relations for the Child Protection INDUSTRY? Comments Comment from bif on March 30, 2007 10:30 AM Just look at the KY IG report , said that 14 caseworkers should have charges filed against them for lying in court Comment from Frank on March 30, 2007 10:41 AM I told Tim Evans that 8 years ago. You're just now getting around to publishing that? Comment from tinfoot on March 30, 2007 1:49 PM DCS is a total wreck and getting worse every day. I know a family that lost five children. The parents are low income and have below average IQ, but they do love their children, had a roof over their heads and food on the table. Now the state is paying for foster care at the rate of $70,000 a year plus tutoring, therapy and all the medical benefits that go with it. Do you think maybe this family could have been kept intact and given the help they needed for much less? Hitler established a criteria as to who was fit to bear and raise children. Is that what we want in this country? Comment from hoosiermommynow on March 30, 2007 6:15 PM I know first hand about how caseworkers lie in court. I am licensed to foster children. I have a grandchild in the system, now over two years. If I have a safe home for other children, why not my own grandchild? Whats up with this? It only makes since that the true reason would be that the state won't pay the county benefits if they don't adopt her out to a non family member. It makes me sick to know that my grandchild means nothing more to the state then a little person to line someones pockets. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 9:59 PM The main goal of Child Protection Services is to make money. Children are not protected, as this agency hides behind secrecy to cloak a "facade" to the public that children would be better protected by their agency' intervention. This is a horrific lie of government fraud and misuse of tax payers' money. First of all, CPS violates both the parents and children' right for factual investigations to be done, as most all the workers are not trained to investigate or have full knowledge of the state statutes, the definitions of "abuse" or 'neglect", unfamiliar with the policy and procedures of both state and federal guidelines, and lack the ability to identify what socio-economical issues play a role in the issue at hand, to be aware of any validity to the allegations, by way of for the need of the parent vs true abuse and neglect. Parents are not given any rights noted in the Constitution, nor are citizens given the right to protect their own children from this govenment agency that literally abuses their authority to make biased and harsh decisions without any proof, does nothing in regard to maintain a family unit, and is never held accountable for their lack of ability to actually identify if a child is in danger or not. Parents are violated, as if we are under dictatorship as parent's are not given ""the right *To by informed of the charges *To be questioned in the presence of an attorney or non-CPS advocate acting on behalf for the parent' and children' sake *For a fair jury, the right to a speedy trail *To compentent and honest counsel, the right for presumption of innocence until proven guilty by "facts, tangible, valid, and un-refutage evidence to be true beyond a ponderance of doubt" *The right to face the accuser, the right to due process, the right to redress of grievances *For an appeal in a timely manner *To legal and/or criminal action against the false and/or malicious prosecution set forth by false allegations of the person who maked the false claim and/or the CPS worker if the worker fails to perform a complete investigation and ignores valid evidence of the falsehoods of the allegations *Against forced or coerced confession and/or waiver of civil rights."" *To have given any and all medical reports, statements made by others, and any an all information related to their children and themselves. Again, CPS does not protect children, this is not their goal, as the money is the reason for the agency' functioning. The more money given the more children removed from their homes, the more children are killed by other than parent. Those people that kill and abuse the children are NEVER PROSECUTED, for the protection of CPS/DCS. This allow no accountability and hides the crimes of their lack of utilizing the money dilegently and for the good and "protection". CPS is the abuser to parents and children, as this agency uses threats, intimidation, and force, to obtain signatures from the parents, forcing parents to take classes that are not necessary, forcing the children to say things for the CPS workers to turn the words around, and most of all, CPS does not listen to the parent regarding the situation at hand. The courts are made a mockery of as the judges sit as a monkey to rubber stamp the bogus and perjurious statements of CPS workers, and we, the citizens get to pay for the care of children for months and months and years, as this agency does everything to terminate the parents of their rights, again by force and no right for a fair trial, and then the bucks roll into the state's funding for more waste or political parties of fun and self glorification. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:00 PM Duplicate of her 9:59 PM comments Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:07 PM Money to the state to steal a child is done as a criminal activity. CPS can commit perjury without any penalties. CPS can take a child from a parent that has done nothing, then give the child to a foster that abuses or kills the child, but nothing is none. The workers will use names in their allegations without speaking to the person. My name was used many times, but the social worker that wrote and signed the report never spoke to me. CPS will walk into court with allegations, but yet document on their affidavant that they knew the claims are false, but, we are still keeping the children in foster, and court after court, after court, CPS drags out the drama to make sure the time line goes beyond the time to adopt the child out for even more money. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:31 PM The Village makes big bucks for children, but the children they place may not need placed, but returned to their own home. Why should they care, they are making money, as no one can do anything about it, as this is all in secret files to never be reviewed. As children are stolen from their homes by DCS by false allegations, parents have no fair or just trial, the Village helps dispose of the children that had safe homes to strange and unfamiliar people. Does Tony Dungy know the truth of what CPS/DSC is doing, how they function, how the children are abused and murdered more often under state care than by the parents, and CPS/DCS' lack of responsiblity and accountability as they ignore written policies and willingness to commit perjury, falsify court records, and deliberately withhold the truth from the judge?? Most importantly, the fact that the judge does nothing to evaluate what is even being said or refusing to allow the parent to speak for their own sake? So, Prevent Child Abuse Center can tell people to call about child abuse, but they can only continue to allow CPS/DCS to abuse and murder children under the state's care, at a rate of 25-30%, but do nothing!!!! Now, it is understood that a change of statistics is noted that 37% of the children under state care dies. How is this prevent? Why are we paying more and more for nothing or no improvement of this agencies negligence and irresponsibility of performance? I question, how many children has the Village placed that was literally taken from a safe home and parents were threatened to terminate parental rights and denied a fair trial with an un-biased council?? The government agency is political, not for children, but for the money. As when a crime is committed by the state worker of CPS/DCS, not even the Attorney General Inspector, Governor, State Police, or Marion County Prosecutor will do anything, even with evidence in hand, medical records of an infant's head bashed in with a large brain hemipheric lesion of trauma, that was done by the person CPS handed the infant to, who made the false outragous allegations without any evidence to support the claim. Money or protection?? It is not to protect. The money spent is wasted and should be used to promote safety, education, programs to allow families to be successful, NOT destroyed. Don't make your neighbor mad, as she can call you in as hitting your child, (even though you didn't), because CPS will take your child, and you, dear soul, will loose everything you ever had and will ever have to attempt to protect and prove your innocence, and still loose the most precious thing you will ever have, your child. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:54 PM The government agency, Child Protection Services, is out of control, violating the very essence of our civil rights, allow children to be murdered, and the records kept by this government agency is non- existing, they can not valid their use of funds, they duplicate services, force people to have services that are unnecessary, and they can not account for the truth of why services are provided. They function in secrecy, conspire with lies, and do nothing to prevent the need of funds to be utilized, as they lack a proper method to investigate, collect all pertinent information, carefully evaluate the allegation, and listen to the truth. Be happy friends, as you, the tax payers' get to pay and pay for this agency to do this to many innocent families, as the state is making money at the suffering of children being abused and murdered under state care providers, parents being defamed, financially exhausted, and family units destroyed. What effectiveness has CPS/DCS had for the children's protection? Behavioral facade and grandiose use of tax payers' money does nothing to protect children. Point: A person can call CPS to make a false allegation that the mother of a child does drugs. But mother is tested, and tested, and tested, for over a year, as the tests are all negative, as the mother repeatedly stated, "I do not do drugs" The child of this mother was given to the person whom made the allegation of false claims, who was reported to be a true drug user by court docu;mentation and seen with drugs, but CPS does not want to hear this, and ignores this, even though this person' drug screens are so high off the chart for cocaine and THC, benzodiazapines, ect. but this is okay for this person to keep the child. EXCUSE ME!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??? So, remove a child from a parent for false allegation the parent uses drugs, that is proven not true, but allow a person to have the child when that person is proven to be an active and chronic drug user. This makes sense in what way??? It its the money!!! Protection is not even a thought. They do not have to fear, as no one can review their lies or see the lack of evidence they did not have to remove the child in the first place!!!! Comment from hoosiermommynow on March 30, 2007 11:14 PM Isn't that the truth. I have a relative in another state who wishes to adopt a baby. Her and her husband just recently became foster parents because the case worker promised them that this would be the fastest way to adopt a child. This caseworkers words were, "We fight really hard in court for the foster parents to adopt the children". Not only that, but the state will also pay their adoption expenses. This relative of mine just recently got this baby, and is already calling her " her child" It is my understanding that a foster parent is suppose to be a professional, and work with the family for reunification. Are they when they are promised before hand that this is the way to go in order to adopt a child fast? How can a caseworker know this if this isn't pre planned, and part of normal procedure for them? If it smells like a fish, it probably is a fish! Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 11:47 PM How is it that money can be the focus to remove children from their homes, have more children abused and killed at the hands of the intervention of CPS, but yet it is not stopped?? If an policeman ran the streets shooting people he thought looked like a criminal, the policeman would be put into prison for murder. But our CPS/DCS workers can remove children by hearsay and biased non-factual misuse of word play, place the children in danger, and abuse or death occurs, but nothing is done. Why?? Why?? This agency has been and currently is known to be the death trap and abuse arena of children for many years, as the numbers of abuse and deaths by this agency' negligence and lack of accountability and responsibility is year after year, is rehashed and rehashed, while millions of children are placed into a grave or suffer post traumatic syndrome day after day!! This must stop!! The government will spend more time to evaluate and spend millions of dollars to find out the reason a whale swam to shore to die, than to protect the life on ONE precious child! This government agency will allow choas and lack of documentation, education, investigation, and pure deliberate employee negligence, for a child to be abused and murdered if one buck was to be made! Comment from Rita Staton on March 31, 2007 12:06 AM The Villages will make a profit, CPS will continue to remove children from safe home by falsication of allegations and hearsay, and parents in Indiana will be devastated, over worked, over stressed, bankrupt, fore-closured, car repoed, over taxed, to continue this dictatorship of a fraudulent and fleecing of tax dollar agency, that reports to NO ONE. In essence, according to the track record of behavior by state workers of CPS, a person with a low income deserves to have their children stolen from them, and 1 of 3 children under state care is murdered ... isn't this a form of genocide? Isn't this what Hitler did? I will continue to pray for these Republican figures and all political figures that willingly turn their head regarding the number of children that are being devastated or murdered under state care, by CPS' irresponsibility and negligence, with great hopes that He will give wisdom, knowledge, and most of all, good common sense. (Regardless is the statistics is 25% or 42% of deaths of children under the state wardship, it is 1% too many, un-excusable, a reportable -- should be- and investigated for quality control and prevention, NOT damage control!! Hide it, seal it, burn or shred it. That is what they do.) Not all citizens can live the financially stable and cushy privileged comfort as the political figures in Indiana, the "Good Old Boys", as we, the citizens are paying for their richness of the Republican disrespectful and careless use of the citizens' tax dollars. The recent study done in Berlin, that found that out of a total of 21 industrial countries, the United States was 2ND to worst regarding the government' ability or concern for family. This is not acceptable!! We pay too much, but yet get nothing for a return. Wade Horn said the study was "Meaningless". This is the quote of all quotes, as it is known to many citizens, children are treated as "Meaningless" by our government agency, CPS, as it is the money, not the welfare of the children that is of any concern. All this information that is available to validate that children are in more danger for abuse and deaths under the care of the state providers, of which has been for many years, Perpetrators of Maltreatment: Physical Abuse - 160 by CPS and 59 by parents Sexual Abuse - 112 by CPS and 13 by parents Neglect - 410 by CPS and 241 by parents Medical Neglect - 14 by CPS and 12 by parents Fatalities - 6.4 by CPS and 1.5 by parents Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the United States. These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington . BUT WHAT IS BEING DONE???? ARE WE YAHOOS THAT CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE SHOULD NOT PUT OUR FINGER IN THE FIRE?????? DAH? Children are being abused and murdered by our own government and our own MONEY!!! Not one of Indiana' political figures cares or has the dignity, integrity, morales, or ethical values, to STOP the horrific destruction of the lives of parents, children, and family unit. We need God' Hand to raise a leader, that is not fearful of the political party' issue, but the heart-felt desire to truly serve the people with respectful dedication to the people, for the people' well-being, protection, successes, happiness, and free of self-glorification. I pray, this comes soon, as many children are suffering right now, as I send this letter to beg for change. Comment from Amanda on March 31, 2007 1:18 AM I know some children in foster care with their aunt. They are no better than they were with their parents. They are not treated well and certainly not like family. Quite sad really. However, the aunt receives funds from the state AND her brother to take care of his kids. She isn't supposed to take any money from the childrens father. She is a money-grubber on many levels. That is one other sick story where a caseworker has dropped the ball. Comment from chitchatt on March 31, 2007 2:14 AM CPS was called by my x husband when I was only 15 minutes late in picking them up. He called and told them I had abandoned my children on him. He in no way wanted them, but he wanted to hurt me some more. I divorced him because he was an extremely violent man and they knew this because he had knocked me out in their office! No one seen anything! They told him not to return them to me for any reason and that they would pick them up the next morning. Which, they did. 4 days later the Judge ordered them returned to me because the only thing they could hold against me was that my children had 1 unexcused absent day at school that year! They made them miss 3 in that time. I won so, after that there was nothing I could do right. They had my neighbor to report to them, they even had our town marshal in on their reign of terror on our family! I was not a bad mother. They just wanted revenge! And they got it. They ended up winning because, how could I continue? I had already sunk over 20,000.00 into atty fees and whatever my atty said, proved, countered, was on deaf ears. My case was decided before we even got there. CPS even tried to go so far as to set up what would have looked like sexual abuse but the funny thing was, neither I or their father had ever, ever been alone with any of them. And that left only the bbysitter. But then they let that drop. (later handing out this bbysitters card=highly recommended!)They took my children, never to have given them back to me. I tricked the system into getting them back though. I used the x husband. I promised him no support would be asked for ever if he would just tell them that he wanted them. Was 3 years into this and they finally gave them to him, which he handed them to me. We lost over 3 years. Trust of others. Friends. Family. This was in the early 1990s and I was an only one I thought. They were just gearing up. The woman who got mad at me in CPS office and yelled at me, just this Dont you come in here and yell at me! Do you know my power? Let me show you! I am taking your children as of right now! And ,,she did! Comment from chitchatt on March 31, 2007 2:25 AM The woman that ordered my children taken away is now I believe, Head of The Villages? Or something big in there. She used me for practice while she was in training to steal and cash in on taking our children! I tell alot of fact's in what I write, and if someone were to read this that knew my story would know instantly who I am, so, how could I get on here and lie to you people knowing someone could then turn around and sue me?? Please people, wake up! I did not deserve what they did to me, my children did not deserve what they did to them. The abuse they recieved in those places was by far worse than anything I would ever dream of doing to a child! They were instantly split up. One, the oldest went to stay with an officer of the law,,,who proceeded to hancuff my son to the bed so that he would not come in and interfere with their christmas party! I would have been in jail for sure but they say it was ok,,:::???? How can we not do something??? Please people, check out the stats for yourself! Lots of webs out there now! Our group is growing daily as they daily steal our children! Try your first search for info at: www.honkforkids.com (We are real people just like you) We could be you. You could be one of us! Just know, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely! Comment from offineerkitty on April 1, 2007 3:50 PM I have some questions? Why is it in the State of Indiana the children who are maltreated and severely abused are left with their abusers? Why is it in the State of Indiana the children who are loved and cared for by their parent/s are taken from them to be abused by the State and/or foster care? Why is it when the children who were maltreated and severely abused grow up to be adults they are left with no medical insurance or the means to get the proper help dealing with the abuse they suffered under? And do not claim that this isn't true because it has/is happening to me! But then again, this is the State of Indiana, and how stupid of me to think Indiana is a Just State and protects the children! Comment from Frank on April 2, 2007 10:07 AM offineerkitty, Standard procedure is to take the children and hold them until the parents confess. Confession is an automatic substantiation. Substnatiation is important because they don't get reimbursed without it. It is a lot easier coerce a confession than to actually investigate. When the parents give in, the children are returned. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, nothing else happens. The other time turns out badly, makes the headlines, and people wonder why CPS gave the children back. You can abuse your children, you just have to cooperate with CPS, grovel a lot, and butter up the caseworker. It is the parents who maintain their innocence, insist on their rights, and fight the system who get hammered. Comment from Forensic6 on April 2, 2007 4:27 PM Wow. None of you know a THING about DCS/CPS that is rooted in FACT. Try this one on for size: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Now, go do your thing. Comment from hoosiermommynow on April 2, 2007 5:57 PM Oh yeah?, And what makes you the know it all? Is your feelings hurt? Like you said in the J&C, you haven't sold any kids in the black market, so why are you so defensive? Oh no, now I know you will steal my government cheese. We post because we know from experience just what is going on with CPS/DCS in Tippecanoe county, and Indiana. Didn't you say you were from Colorado? Then why worry what people know about Lafayette Indiana? You yourself said it was ugly. You are right. It's getting uglier all of the time. Comment from Parrish Peeples on May 10, 2007 5:03 PM My name is Parrish and I reside in Illinois. The State of Indiana DCS has been harrassing me since 12-14-06 regarding my daughters case with them. Her 1 yr. old was removed because of a bone fracture. Her 4 and 6 year old reside in the State of Illinois and always have. Since the beginning of her case I have been verbally threatened that if I did not bring my grandson to Tippicanoe County to be put in foster care I would be arrested. Well, I did not let DCS tell me what to do, my grandson is a resident of Illinois. Exactly 7 weeks into my daughters case the Case worker Kevin Hintzman called me (1-18-07)to tell me that since I did not do as I was told he called DCFS in Illinois on me so that they could remove all children from my home because of abuse and neglect. My State fell for this trick even though I explained that they only wanted my grandson at any expense at which I became. Well , Illinois could not remove him because there was no abuse or neglect. But to keep an eye on him I was indicated on injuries that my 1 yr. grandson received while in Indiana even though I was in Illinois. Now five months later my daughter is on life support plus she is in a coma and they still want my 6 year old grandson. I was told that if I don't turn over him the family will not get to see her 1 year old again. They are holding him for the ransom of his brother. I am looking for a Civil Rights Lawyer to this day and I will not give up. The State of Indiana used false information to start the case on me in another State although they have never been to my house or seen my children they have accused me of abuse and neglect harrased me, defamed my character and put my children through hell. I am hoping to use my case to help all others that are in the same situation. The Constitution was created to protect our rights as citizens as well as human beings. The State of Indiana stripped me of those rights and lied to the State of Illinois to uptain their help in removing a child from a stable home. Although they did not remove him, he has been torn apart from my home. He's now in another State with relatives to keep him safe. So Indiana still tore my family apart. |

This is presumptuous claptrap that misleads decision makers. For instance, a claim was made by the propagandists, such as those above, that child deaths went down...as though ONE year comparison to the next year is actually significant and CAUSED by the change in out of home care. WTF are you talking about - the article says nothing about child deaths. Grasping at straws seems to be your default debating stance. lol. The fact is by 2004 it was right back up. snipped Don's attempt to introduce strawman FX, you and your idiot cronies combined with these idiots, Richard Wexler being one of the greater of the crowd, are, to my view, among the most dangerous forces AGAINST families and children ever assembled. Coming from a pervert who lied to get access to vulnerable children, then spammed these poor children to faggots on usenet - your comments are a GREAT BIG HAHAHAHEHEHE. You have an agenda. Don you're hilarious. To discredit CPS. CPS needs no help -- they have scum like you to discredit them. lol.

FX 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.

Kane on the citizen comments posted in Indianapolis:

Did you see all of the public comments on that Indiana article? The fact is all the gimmicks tried have NOT been proven to work. CPS agencies have had to make excuses for over THIRTY YEARS! They haven't even come close to fulfilling their obligations. The CPS corporate or agency culture is like a religious cult and extremely resistant to meaningful change. You are stupid, or liars. Or both. You WORKED for the Oregon CPS agency, you're an arrogant Megalomaniac and a GROUPIE or Lobbyist for the Child Protection INDUSTRY. You have an agenda to defend the BUREAUCRACY! You deliberately posted gratuitous public profanity for over a YEAR and bragged about it! Was that your way of enhancing the Public Relations for the Child Protection INDUSTRY? On Jun 12, 9:58 pm, fx wrote: A thought: Child welfare as a money-making enterprise department Posted by RiShawn Biddle http://blogs.indystar.com/expresso/a...ght_child.html "You should have heard how the Illinois agencies used to proclaim that money had nothing - nothing - to do with their decisions. The reason there was 50,000 children in foster care, back in 1996, was just that these cases were soooooooo difficult and the children simply HAD to be with them for a long, long, time. "But in 1997, the state of Illinois broke the stranglehold of the agencies and forced through a change in financial incentives that rewarded agencies for finding permanent homes and punished them for holding children in foster care. Lo and behold: The "intractable" became tractable, the "dysfunctional" became functional. Today, the number of children trapped in foster care in Illinois is under 17,000. And independent, court-appointed monitors say the children are safer. "The funny thing is, I'm sure Doctor Franson really believes money has no impact on the decisions made at The Villages. But what happened in Illinois, and most changes in financial incentives in most human endeavors, not just child welfare, prove otherwise. "Rationalization is powerful. It can take a change in how one is paid to start seeing children and families as they really are." -- Richard Wexler of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, in an e-mail responding to The Star's story on the merger of the Villages with Prevent Child Abuse Indiana and the economic incentives in the child welfare sector. A reminder that economic incentives are a major player in all activities, even on behalf of the children. commentshttp://blogs.indystar.com/expresso/archives/2007/03/a_thought_child.html Comments Comment from bif on March 30, 2007 10:30 AM Just look at the KY IG report , said that 14 caseworkers should have charges filed against them for lying in court Comment from Frank on March 30, 2007 10:41 AM I told Tim Evans that 8 years ago. You're just now getting around to publishing that? Comment from tinfoot on March 30, 2007 1:49 PM DCS is a total wreck and getting worse every day. I know a family that lost five children. The parents are low income and have below average IQ, but they do love their children, had a roof over their heads and food on the table. Now the state is paying for foster care at the rate of $70,000 a year plus tutoring, therapy and all the medical benefits that go with it. Do you think maybe this family could have been kept intact and given the help they needed for much less? Hitler established a criteria as to who was fit to bear and raise children. Is that what we want in this country? Comment from hoosiermommynow on March 30, 2007 6:15 PM I know first hand about how caseworkers lie in court. I am licensed to foster children. I have a grandchild in the system, now over two years. If I have a safe home for other children, why not my own grandchild? Whats up with this? It only makes since that the true reason would be that the state won't pay the county benefits if they don't adopt her out to a non family member. It makes me sick to know that my grandchild means nothing more to the state then a little person to line someones pockets. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 9:59 PM The main goal of Child Protection Services is to make money. Children are not protected, as this agency hides behind secrecy to cloak a "facade" to the public that children would be better protected by their agency' intervention. This is a horrific lie of government fraud and misuse of tax payers' money. First of all, CPS violates both the parents and children' right for factual investigations to be done, as most all the workers are not trained to investigate or have full knowledge of the state statutes, the definitions of "abuse" or 'neglect", unfamiliar with the policy and procedures of both state and federal guidelines, and lack the ability to identify what socio-economical issues play a role in the issue at hand, to be aware of any validity to the allegations, by way of for the need of the parent vs true abuse and neglect. Parents are not given any rights noted in the Constitution, nor are citizens given the right to protect their own children from this govenment agency that literally abuses their authority to make biased and harsh decisions without any proof, does nothing in regard to maintain a family unit, and is never held accountable for their lack of ability to actually identify if a child is in danger or not. Parents are violated, as if we are under dictatorship as parent's are not given ""the right *To by informed of the charges *To be questioned in the presence of an attorney or non-CPS advocate acting on behalf for the parent' and children' sake *For a fair jury, the right to a speedy trail *To compentent and honest counsel, the right for presumption of innocence until proven guilty by "facts, tangible, valid, and un-refutage evidence to be true beyond a ponderance of doubt" *The right to face the accuser, the right to due process, the right to redress of grievances *For an appeal in a timely manner *To legal and/or criminal action against the false and/or malicious prosecution set forth by false allegations of the person who maked the false claim and/or the CPS worker if the worker fails to perform a complete investigation and ignores valid evidence of the falsehoods of the allegations *Against forced or coerced confession and/or waiver of civil rights."" *To have given any and all medical reports, statements made by others, and any an all information related to their children and themselves. Again, CPS does not protect children, this is not their goal, as the money is the reason for the agency' functioning. The more money given the more children removed from their homes, the more children are killed by other than parent. Those people that kill and abuse the children are NEVER PROSECUTED, for the protection of CPS/DCS. This allow no accountability and hides the crimes of their lack of utilizing the money dilegently and for the good and "protection". CPS is the abuser to parents and children, as this agency uses threats, intimidation, and force, to obtain signatures from the parents, forcing parents to take classes that are not necessary, forcing the children to say things for the CPS workers to turn the words around, and most of all, CPS does not listen to the parent regarding the situation at hand. The courts are made a mockery of as the judges sit as a monkey to rubber stamp the bogus and perjurious statements of CPS workers, and we, the citizens get to pay for the care of children for months and months and years, as this agency does everything to terminate the parents of their rights, again by force and no right for a fair trial, and then the bucks roll into the state's funding for more waste or political parties of fun and self glorification. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:00 PM Duplicate of her 9:59 PM comments Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:07 PM Money to the state to steal a child is done as a criminal activity. CPS can commit perjury without any penalties. CPS can take a child from a parent that has done nothing, then give the child to a foster that abuses or kills the child, but nothing is none. The workers will use names in their allegations without speaking to the person. My name was used many times, but the social worker that wrote and signed the report never spoke to me. CPS will walk into court with allegations, but yet document on their affidavant that they knew the claims are false, but, we are still keeping the children in foster, and court after court, after court, CPS drags out the drama to make sure the time line goes beyond the time to adopt the child out for even more money. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:31 PM The Village makes big bucks for children, but the children they place may not need placed, but returned to their own home. Why should they care, they are making money, as no one can do anything about it, as this is all in secret files to never be reviewed. As children are stolen from their homes by DCS by false allegations, parents have no fair or just trial, the Village helps dispose of the children that had safe homes to strange and unfamiliar people. Does Tony Dungy know the truth of what CPS/DSC is doing, how they function, how the children are abused and murdered more often under state care than by the parents, and CPS/DCS' lack of responsiblity and accountability as they ignore written policies and willingness to commit perjury, falsify court records, and deliberately withhold the truth from the judge?? Most importantly, the fact that the judge does nothing to evaluate what is even being said or refusing to allow the parent to speak for their own sake? So, Prevent Child Abuse Center can tell people to call about child abuse, but they can only continue to allow CPS/DCS to abuse and murder children under the state's care, at a rate of 25-30%, but do nothing!!!! Now, it is understood that a change of statistics is noted that 37% of the children under state care dies. How is this prevent? Why are we paying more and more for nothing or no improvement of this agencies negligence and irresponsibility of performance? I question, how many children has the Village placed that was literally taken from a safe home and parents were threatened to terminate parental rights and denied a fair trial with an un-biased council?? The government agency is political, not for children, but for the money. As when a crime is committed by the state worker of CPS/DCS, not even the Attorney General Inspector, Governor, State Police, or Marion County Prosecutor will do anything, even with evidence in hand, medical records of an infant's head bashed in with a large brain hemipheric lesion of trauma, that was done by the person CPS handed the infant to, who made the false outragous allegations without any evidence to support the claim. Money or protection?? It is not to protect. The money spent is wasted and should be used to promote safety, education, programs to allow families to be successful, NOT destroyed. Don't make your neighbor mad, as she can call you in as hitting your child, (even though you didn't), because CPS will take your child, and you, dear soul, will loose everything you ever had and will ever have to attempt to protect and prove your innocence, and still loose the most precious thing you will ever have, your child. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:54 PM The government agency, Child Protection Services, is out of control, violating the very essence of our civil rights, allow children to be murdered, and the records kept by this government agency is non- existing, they can not valid their use of funds, they duplicate services, force people to have services that are unnecessary, and they can not account for the truth of why services are provided. They function in secrecy, conspire with lies, and do nothing to prevent the need of funds to be utilized, as they lack a proper method to investigate, collect all pertinent information, carefully evaluate the allegation, and listen to the truth. Be happy friends, as you, the tax payers' get to pay and pay for this agency to do this to many innocent families, as the state is making money at the suffering of children being abused and murdered under state care providers, parents being defamed, financially exhausted, and family units destroyed. What effectiveness has CPS/DCS had for the children's protection? Behavioral facade and grandiose use of tax payers' money does nothing to protect children. Point: A person can call CPS to make a false allegation that the mother of a child does drugs. But mother is tested, and tested, and tested, for over a year, as the tests are all negative, as the mother repeatedly stated, "I do not do drugs" The child of this mother was given to the person whom made the allegation of false claims, who was reported to be a true drug user by court docu;mentation and seen with drugs, but CPS does not want to hear this, and ignores this, even though this person' drug screens are so high off the chart for cocaine and THC, benzodiazapines, ect. but this is okay for this person to keep the child. EXCUSE ME!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??? So, remove a child from a parent for false allegation the parent uses drugs, that is proven not true, but allow a person to have the child when that person is proven to be an active and chronic drug user. This makes sense in what way??? It its the money!!! Protection is not even a thought. They do not have to fear, as no one can review their lies or see the lack of evidence they did not have to remove the child in the first place!!!! Comment from hoosiermommynow on March 30, 2007 11:14 PM Isn't that the truth. I have a relative in another state who wishes to adopt a baby. Her and her husband just recently became foster parents because the case worker promised them that this would be the fastest way to adopt a child. This caseworkers words were, "We fight really hard in court for the foster parents to adopt the children". Not only that, but the state will also pay their adoption expenses. This relative of mine just recently got this baby, and is already calling her " her child" It is my understanding that a foster parent is suppose to be a professional, and work with the family for reunification. Are they when they are promised before hand that this is the way to go in order to adopt a child fast? How can a caseworker know this if this isn't pre planned, and part of normal procedure for them? If it smells like a fish, it probably is a fish! Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 11:47 PM How is it that money can be the focus to remove children from their homes, have more children abused and killed at the hands of the intervention of CPS, but yet it is not stopped?? If an policeman ran the streets shooting people he thought looked like a criminal, the policeman would be put into prison for murder. But our CPS/DCS workers can remove children by hearsay and biased non-factual misuse of word play, place the children in danger, and abuse or death occurs, but nothing is done. Why?? Why?? This agency has been and currently is known to be the death trap and abuse arena of children for many years, as the numbers of abuse and deaths by this agency' negligence and lack of accountability and responsibility is year after year, is rehashed and rehashed, while millions of children are placed into a grave or suffer post traumatic syndrome day after day!! This must stop!! The government will spend more time to evaluate and spend millions of dollars to find out the reason a whale swam to shore to die, than to protect the life on ONE precious child! This government agency will allow choas and lack of documentation, education, investigation, and pure deliberate employee negligence, for a child to be abused and murdered if one buck was to be made! Comment from Rita Staton on March 31, 2007 12:06 AM The Villages will make a profit, CPS will continue to remove children from safe home by falsication of allegations and hearsay, and parents in Indiana will be devastated, over worked, over stressed, bankrupt, fore-closured, car repoed, over taxed, to continue this dictatorship of a fraudulent and fleecing of tax dollar agency, that reports to NO ONE. In essence, according to the track record of behavior by state workers of CPS, a person with a low income deserves to have their children stolen from them, and 1 of 3 children under state care is murdered ... isn't this a form of genocide? Isn't this what Hitler did? I will continue to pray for these Republican figures and all political figures that willingly turn their head regarding the number of children that are being devastated or murdered under state care, by CPS' irresponsibility and negligence, with great hopes that He will give wisdom, knowledge, and most of all, good common sense. (Regardless is the statistics is 25% or 42% of deaths of children under the state wardship, it is 1% too many, un-excusable, a reportable -- should be- and investigated for quality control and prevention, NOT damage control!! Hide it, seal it, burn or shred it. That is what they do.) Not all citizens can live the financially stable and cushy privileged comfort as the political figures in Indiana, the "Good Old Boys", as we, the citizens are paying for their richness of the Republican disrespectful and careless use of the citizens' tax dollars. The recent study done in Berlin, that found that out of a total of 21 industrial countries, the United States was 2ND to worst regarding the government' ability or concern for family. This is not acceptable!! We pay too much, but yet get nothing for a return. Wade Horn said the study was "Meaningless". This is the quote of all quotes, as it is known to many citizens, children are treated as "Meaningless" by our government agency, CPS, as it is the money, not the welfare of the children that is of any concern. All this information that is available to validate that children are in more danger for abuse and deaths under the care of the state providers, of which has been for many years, Perpetrators of Maltreatment: Physical Abuse - 160 by CPS and 59 by parents Sexual Abuse - 112 by CPS and 13 by parents Neglect - 410 by CPS and 241 by parents Medical Neglect - 14 by CPS and 12 by parents Fatalities - 6.4 by CPS and 1.5 by parents Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the United States. These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington . BUT WHAT IS BEING DONE???? ARE WE YAHOOS THAT CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE SHOULD NOT PUT OUR FINGER IN THE FIRE?????? DAH? Children are being abused and murdered by our own government and our own MONEY!!! Not one of Indiana' political figures cares or has the dignity, integrity, morales, or ethical values, to STOP the horrific destruction of the lives of parents, children, and family unit. We need God' Hand to raise a leader, that is not fearful of the political party' issue, but the heart-felt desire to truly serve the people with respectful dedication to the people, for the people' well-being, protection, successes, happiness, and free of self-glorification. I pray, this comes soon, as many children are suffering right now, as I send this letter to beg for change. Comment from Amanda on March 31, 2007 1:18 AM I know some children in foster care with their aunt. They are no better than they were with their parents. They are not treated well and certainly not like family. Quite sad really. However, the aunt receives funds from the state AND her brother to take care of his kids. She isn't supposed to take any money from the childrens father. She is a money-grubber on many levels. That is one other sick story where a caseworker has dropped the ball. Comment from chitchatt on March 31, 2007 2:14 AM CPS was called by my x husband when I was only 15 minutes late in picking them up. He called and told them I had abandoned my children on him. He in no way wanted them, but he wanted to hurt me some more. I divorced him because he was an extremely violent man and they knew this because he had knocked me out in their office! No one seen anything! They told him not to return them to me for any reason and that they would pick them up the next morning. Which, they did. 4 days later the Judge ordered them returned to me because the only thing they could hold against me was that my children had 1 unexcused absent day at school that year! They made them miss 3 in that time. I won so, after that there was nothing I could do right. They had my neighbor to report to them, they even had our town marshal in on their reign of terror on our family! I was not a bad mother. They just wanted revenge! And they got it. They ended up winning because, how could I continue? I had already sunk over 20,000.00 into atty fees and whatever my atty said, proved, countered, was on deaf ears. My case was decided before we even got there. CPS even tried to go so far as to set up what would have looked like sexual abuse but the funny thing was, neither I or their father had ever, ever been alone with any of them. And that left only the bbysitter. But then they let that drop. (later handing out this bbysitters card=highly recommended!)They took my children, never to have given them back to me. I tricked the system into getting them back though. I used the x husband. I promised him no support would be asked for ever if he would just tell them that he wanted them. Was 3 years into this and they finally gave them to him, which he handed them to me. We lost over 3 years. Trust of others. Friends. Family. This was in the early 1990s and I was an only one I thought. They were just gearing up. The woman who got mad at me in CPS office and yelled at me, just this Dont you come in here and yell at me! Do you know my power? Let me show you! I am taking your children as of right now! And ,,she did! Comment from chitchatt on March 31, 2007 2:25 AM The woman that ordered my children taken away is now I believe, Head of The Villages? Or something big in there. She used me for practice while she was in training to steal and cash in on taking our children! I tell alot of fact's in what I write, and if someone were to read this that knew my story would know instantly who I am, so, how could I get on here and lie to you people knowing someone could then turn around and sue me?? Please people, wake up! I did not deserve what they did to me, my children did not deserve what they did to them. The abuse they recieved in those places was by far worse than anything I would ever dream of doing to a child! They were instantly split up. One, the oldest went to stay with an officer of the law,,,who proceeded to hancuff my son to the bed so that he would not come in and interfere with their christmas party! I would have been in jail for sure but they say it was ok,,:::???? How can we not do something??? Please people, check out the stats for yourself! Lots of webs out there now! Our group is growing daily as they daily steal our children! Try your first search for info at:www.honkforkids.com(We are real people just like you) We could be you. You could be one of us! Just know, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely! Comment from offineerkitty on April 1, 2007 3:50 PM I have some questions? Why is it in the State of Indiana the children who are maltreated and severely abused are left with their abusers? Why is it in the State of Indiana the children who are loved and cared for by their parent/s are taken from them to be abused by the State and/or foster care? Why is it when the children who were maltreated and severely abused grow up to be adults they are left with no medical insurance or the means to get the proper help dealing with the abuse they suffered under? And do not claim that this isn't true because it has/is happening to me! But then again, this is the State of Indiana, and how stupid of me to think Indiana is a Just State and protects the children! Comment from Frank on April 2, 2007 10:07 AM offineerkitty, Standard procedure is to take the children and hold them until the parents confess. Confession is an automatic substantiation. Substnatiation is important because they don't get reimbursed without it. It is a lot easier coerce a confession than to actually investigate. When the parents give in, the children are returned. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, nothing else happens. The other time turns out badly, makes the headlines, and people wonder why CPS gave the children back. You can abuse your children, you just have to cooperate with CPS, grovel a lot, and butter up the caseworker. It is the parents who maintain their innocence, insist on their rights, and fight the system who get hammered. Comment from Forensic6 on April 2, 2007 4:27 PM Wow. None of you know a THING about DCS/CPS that is rooted in FACT. Try this one on for size: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Now, go do your thing. Comment from hoosiermommynow on April 2, 2007 5:57 PM Oh yeah?, And what makes you the know it all? Is your feelings hurt? Like you said in the J&C, you haven't sold any kids in the black market, so why are you so defensive? Oh no, now I know you will steal my government cheese. We post because we know from experience just what is going on with CPS/DCS in Tippecanoe county, and Indiana. Didn't you say you were from Colorado? Then why worry what people know about Lafayette Indiana? You yourself said it was ugly. You are right. It's getting uglier all of the time. Comment from Parrish Peeples on May 10, 2007 5:03 PM My name is Parrish and I reside in Illinois. The State of Indiana DCS has been harrassing me since 12-14-06 regarding my daughters case with them. Her 1 yr. old was removed because of a bone fracture. Her 4 and 6 year old reside in the State of Illinois and always have. Since the beginning of her case I have been verbally threatened that if I did not bring my grandson to Tippicanoe County to be put in foster care I would be arrested. Well, I did not let DCS tell me what to do, my grandson is a resident of Illinois. Exactly 7 weeks into my daughters case the Case worker Kevin Hintzman called me (1-18-07)to tell me that since I did not do as I was told he called DCFS in Illinois on me so that they could remove all children from my home because of abuse and neglect. My State fell for this trick even though I explained that they only wanted my grandson at any expense at which I became. Well , Illinois could not remove him because there was no abuse or neglect. But to keep an eye on him I was indicated on injuries that my 1 yr. grandson received while in Indiana even though I was in Illinois. Now five months later my daughter is on life support plus she is in a coma and they still want my 6 year old grandson. I was told that if I don't turn over him the family will not get to see her 1 year old again. They are holding him for the ransom of his brother. I am looking for a Civil Rights Lawyer to this day and I will not give up. The State of Indiana used false information to start the case on me in another State although they have never been to my house or seen my children they have accused me of abuse and neglect harrased me, defamed my character and put my children through hell. I am hoping to use my case to help all others that are in the same situation. The Constitution was created to protect our rights as citizens as well as human beings. The State of Indiana stripped me of those rights and lied to the State of Illinois to uptain their help in removing a child from a stable home. Although they did not remove him, he has been torn apart from my home. He's now in another State with relatives to keep him safe. So Indiana still tore my family apart. 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... |

Did you see all of the public comments on that Indiana article? The fact is all the gimmicks tried have NOT been proven to work. CPS agencies have had to make excuses for over THIRTY YEARS! They haven't even come close to fulfilling their obligations. The CPS corporate or agency culture is like a religious cult and extremely resistant to meaningful change. You are stupid, or liars. Or both. You WORKED for the Oregon CPS agency, you're an arrogant Megalomaniac and a GROUPIE or Lobbyist for the Child Protection INDUSTRY. You have an agenda to defend the BUREAUCRACY! You deliberately posted gratuitous public profanity for over a YEAR and bragged about it! Was that your way of enhancing the Public Relations for the Child Protection INDUSTRY?

The reason there was 50,000 children in foster care, back in 1996, was just that these cases were soooooooo difficult and the children simply HAD to be with them for a long, long, time. "But in 1997, the state of Illinois broke the stranglehold of the agencies and forced through a change in financial incentives that rewarded agencies for finding permanent homes and punished them for holding children in foster care. Lo and behold: The "intractable" became tractable, the "dysfunctional" became functional. Today, the number of children trapped in foster care in Illinois is under 17,000. And independent, court-appointed monitors say the children are safer. "The funny thing is, I'm sure Doctor Franson really believes money has no impact on the decisions made at The Villages. But what happened in Illinois, and most changes in financial incentives in most human endeavors, not just child welfare, prove otherwise. "Rationalization is powerful. It can take a change in how one is paid to start seeing children and families as they really are." -- Richard Wexler of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, in an e-mail responding to The Star's story on the merger of the Villages with Prevent Child Abuse Indiana and the economic incentives in the child welfare sector. A reminder that economic incentives are a major player in all activities, even on behalf of the children. commentshttp://blogs.indystar.com/expresso/archives/2007/03/a_thought_child.html Comments Comment from bif on March 30, 2007 10:30 AM Just look at the KY IG report , said that 14 caseworkers should have charges filed against them for lying in court Comment from Frank on March 30, 2007 10:41 AM I told Tim Evans that 8 years ago. You're just now getting around to publishing that? Comment from tinfoot on March 30, 2007 1:49 PM DCS is a total wreck and getting worse every day. I know a family that lost five children. The parents are low income and have below average IQ, but they do love their children, had a roof over their heads and food on the table. Now the state is paying for foster care at the rate of $70,000 a year plus tutoring, therapy and all the medical benefits that go with it. Do you think maybe this family could have been kept intact and given the help they needed for much less? Hitler established a criteria as to who was fit to bear and raise children. Is that what we want in this country? Comment from hoosiermommynow on March 30, 2007 6:15 PM I know first hand about how caseworkers lie in court. I am licensed to foster children. I have a grandchild in the system, now over two years. If I have a safe home for other children, why not my own grandchild? Whats up with this? It only makes since that the true reason would be that the state won't pay the county benefits if they don't adopt her out to a non family member. It makes me sick to know that my grandchild means nothing more to the state then a little person to line someones pockets. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 9:59 PM The main goal of Child Protection Services is to make money. Children are not protected, as this agency hides behind secrecy to cloak a "facade" to the public that children would be better protected by their agency' intervention. This is a horrific lie of government fraud and misuse of tax payers' money. First of all, CPS violates both the parents and children' right for factual investigations to be done, as most all the workers are not trained to investigate or have full knowledge of the state statutes, the definitions of "abuse" or 'neglect", unfamiliar with the policy and procedures of both state and federal guidelines, and lack the ability to identify what socio-economical issues play a role in the issue at hand, to be aware of any validity to the allegations, by way of for the need of the parent vs true abuse and neglect. Parents are not given any rights noted in the Constitution, nor are citizens given the right to protect their own children from this govenment agency that literally abuses their authority to make biased and harsh decisions without any proof, does nothing in regard to maintain a family unit, and is never held accountable for their lack of ability to actually identify if a child is in danger or not. Parents are violated, as if we are under dictatorship as parent's are not given ""the right *To by informed of the charges *To be questioned in the presence of an attorney or non-CPS advocate acting on behalf for the parent' and children' sake *For a fair jury, the right to a speedy trail *To compentent and honest counsel, the right for presumption of innocence until proven guilty by "facts, tangible, valid, and un-refutage evidence to be true beyond a ponderance of doubt" *The right to face the accuser, the right to due process, the right to redress of grievances *For an appeal in a timely manner *To legal and/or criminal action against the false and/or malicious prosecution set forth by false allegations of the person who maked the false claim and/or the CPS worker if the worker fails to perform a complete investigation and ignores valid evidence of the falsehoods of the allegations *Against forced or coerced confession and/or waiver of civil rights."" *To have given any and all medical reports, statements made by others, and any an all information related to their children and themselves. Again, CPS does not protect children, this is not their goal, as the money is the reason for the agency' functioning. The more money given the more children removed from their homes, the more children are killed by other than parent. Those people that kill and abuse the children are NEVER PROSECUTED, for the protection of CPS/DCS. This allow no accountability and hides the crimes of their lack of utilizing the money dilegently and for the good and "protection". CPS is the abuser to parents and children, as this agency uses threats, intimidation, and force, to obtain signatures from the parents, forcing parents to take classes that are not necessary, forcing the children to say things for the CPS workers to turn the words around, and most of all, CPS does not listen to the parent regarding the situation at hand. The courts are made a mockery of as the judges sit as a monkey to rubber stamp the bogus and perjurious statements of CPS workers, and we, the citizens get to pay for the care of children for months and months and years, as this agency does everything to terminate the parents of their rights, again by force and no right for a fair trial, and then the bucks roll into the state's funding for more waste or political parties of fun and self glorification. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:00 PM Duplicate of her 9:59 PM comments Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:07 PM Money to the state to steal a child is done as a criminal activity. CPS can commit perjury without any penalties. CPS can take a child from a parent that has done nothing, then give the child to a foster that abuses or kills the child, but nothing is none. The workers will use names in their allegations without speaking to the person. My name was used many times, but the social worker that wrote and signed the report never spoke to me. CPS will walk into court with allegations, but yet document on their affidavant that they knew the claims are false, but, we are still keeping the children in foster, and court after court, after court, CPS drags out the drama to make sure the time line goes beyond the time to adopt the child out for even more money. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:31 PM The Village makes big bucks for children, but the children they place may not need placed, but returned to their own home. Why should they care, they are making money, as no one can do anything about it, as this is all in secret files to never be reviewed. As children are stolen from their homes by DCS by false allegations, parents have no fair or just trial, the Village helps dispose of the children that had safe homes to strange and unfamiliar people. Does Tony Dungy know the truth of what CPS/DSC is doing, how they function, how the children are abused and murdered more often under state care than by the parents, and CPS/DCS' lack of responsiblity and accountability as they ignore written policies and willingness to commit perjury, falsify court records, and deliberately withhold the truth from the judge?? Most importantly, the fact that the judge does nothing to evaluate what is even being said or refusing to allow the parent to speak for their own sake? So, Prevent Child Abuse Center can tell people to call about child abuse, but they can only continue to allow CPS/DCS to abuse and murder children under the state's care, at a rate of 25-30%, but do nothing!!!! Now, it is understood that a change of statistics is noted that 37% of the children under state care dies. How is this prevent? Why are we paying more and more for nothing or no improvement of this agencies negligence and irresponsibility of performance? I question, how many children has the Village placed that was literally taken from a safe home and parents were threatened to terminate parental rights and denied a fair trial with an un-biased council?? The government agency is political, not for children, but for the money. As when a crime is committed by the state worker of CPS/DCS, not even the Attorney General Inspector, Governor, State Police, or Marion County Prosecutor will do anything, even with evidence in hand, medical records of an infant's head bashed in with a large brain hemipheric lesion of trauma, that was done by the person CPS handed the infant to, who made the false outragous allegations without any evidence to support the claim. Money or protection?? It is not to protect. The money spent is wasted and should be used to promote safety, education, programs to allow families to be successful, NOT destroyed. Don't make your neighbor mad, as she can call you in as hitting your child, (even though you didn't), because CPS will take your child, and you, dear soul, will loose everything you ever had and will ever have to attempt to protect and prove your innocence, and still loose the most precious thing you will ever have, your child. Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 10:54 PM The government agency, Child Protection Services, is out of control, violating the very essence of our civil rights, allow children to be murdered, and the records kept by this government agency is non- existing, they can not valid their use of funds, they duplicate services, force people to have services that are unnecessary, and they can not account for the truth of why services are provided. They function in secrecy, conspire with lies, and do nothing to prevent the need of funds to be utilized, as they lack a proper method to investigate, collect all pertinent information, carefully evaluate the allegation, and listen to the truth. Be happy friends, as you, the tax payers' get to pay and pay for this agency to do this to many innocent families, as the state is making money at the suffering of children being abused and murdered under state care providers, parents being defamed, financially exhausted, and family units destroyed. What effectiveness has CPS/DCS had for the children's protection? Behavioral facade and grandiose use of tax payers' money does nothing to protect children. Point: A person can call CPS to make a false allegation that the mother of a child does drugs. But mother is tested, and tested, and tested, for over a year, as the tests are all negative, as the mother repeatedly stated, "I do not do drugs" The child of this mother was given to the person whom made the allegation of false claims, who was reported to be a true drug user by court docu;mentation and seen with drugs, but CPS does not want to hear this, and ignores this, even though this person' drug screens are so high off the chart for cocaine and THC, benzodiazapines, ect. but this is okay for this person to keep the child. EXCUSE ME!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??? So, remove a child from a parent for false allegation the parent uses drugs, that is proven not true, but allow a person to have the child when that person is proven to be an active and chronic drug user. This makes sense in what way??? It its the money!!! Protection is not even a thought. They do not have to fear, as no one can review their lies or see the lack of evidence they did not have to remove the child in the first place!!!! Comment from hoosiermommynow on March 30, 2007 11:14 PM Isn't that the truth. I have a relative in another state who wishes to adopt a baby. Her and her husband just recently became foster parents because the case worker promised them that this would be the fastest way to adopt a child. This caseworkers words were, "We fight really hard in court for the foster parents to adopt the children". Not only that, but the state will also pay their adoption expenses. This relative of mine just recently got this baby, and is already calling her " her child" It is my understanding that a foster parent is suppose to be a professional, and work with the family for reunification. Are they when they are promised before hand that this is the way to go in order to adopt a child fast? How can a caseworker know this if this isn't pre planned, and part of normal procedure for them? If it smells like a fish, it probably is a fish! Comment from Rita Staton on March 30, 2007 11:47 PM How is it that money can be the focus to remove children from their homes, have more children abused and killed at the hands of the intervention of CPS, but yet it is not stopped?? If an policeman ran the streets shooting people he thought looked like a criminal, the policeman would be put into prison for murder. But our CPS/DCS workers can remove children by hearsay and biased non-factual misuse of word play, place the children in danger, and abuse or death occurs, but nothing is done. Why?? Why?? This agency has been and currently is known to be the death trap and abuse arena of children for many years, as the numbers of abuse and deaths by this agency' negligence and lack of accountability and responsibility is year after year, is rehashed and rehashed, while millions of children are placed into a grave or suffer post traumatic syndrome day after day!! This must stop!! The government will spend more time to evaluate and spend millions of dollars to find out the reason a whale swam to shore to die, than to protect the life on ONE precious child! This government agency will allow choas and lack of documentation, education, investigation, and pure deliberate employee negligence, for a child to be abused and murdered if one buck was to be made! Comment from Rita Staton on March 31, 2007 12:06 AM The Villages will make a profit, CPS will continue to remove children from safe home by falsication of allegations and hearsay, and parents in Indiana will be devastated, over worked, over stressed, bankrupt, fore-closured, car repoed, over taxed, to continue this dictatorship of a fraudulent and fleecing of tax dollar agency, that reports to NO ONE. In essence, according to the track record of behavior by state workers of CPS, a person with a low income deserves to have their children stolen from them, and 1 of 3 children under state care is murdered ... isn't this a form of genocide? Isn't this what Hitler did? I will continue to pray for these Republican figures and all political figures that willingly turn their head regarding the number of children that are being devastated or murdered under state care, by CPS' irresponsibility and negligence, with great hopes that He will give wisdom, knowledge, and most of all, good common sense. (Regardless is the statistics is 25% or 42% of deaths of children under the state wardship, it is 1% too many, un-excusable, a reportable -- should be- and investigated for quality control and prevention, NOT damage control!! Hide it, seal it, burn or shred it. That is what they do.) Not all citizens can live the financially stable and cushy privileged comfort as the political figures in Indiana, the "Good Old Boys", as we, the citizens are paying for their richness of the Republican disrespectful and careless use of the citizens' tax dollars. The recent study done in Berlin, that found that out of a total of 21 industrial countries, the United States was 2ND to worst regarding the government' ability or concern for family. This is not acceptable!! We pay too much, but yet get nothing for a return. Wade Horn said the study was "Meaningless". This is the quote of all quotes, as it is known to many citizens, children are treated as "Meaningless" by our government agency, CPS, as it is the money, not the welfare of the children that is of any concern. All this information that is available to validate that children are in more danger for abuse and deaths under the care of the state providers, of which has been for many years, Perpetrators of Maltreatment: Physical Abuse - 160 by CPS and 59 by parents Sexual Abuse - 112 by CPS and 13 by parents Neglect - 410 by CPS and 241 by parents Medical Neglect - 14 by CPS and 12 by parents Fatalities - 6.4 by CPS and 1.5 by parents Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the United States. These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington . BUT WHAT IS BEING DONE???? ARE WE YAHOOS THAT CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE SHOULD NOT PUT OUR FINGER IN THE FIRE?????? DAH? Children are being abused and murdered by our own government and our own MONEY!!! Not one of Indiana' political figures cares or has the dignity, integrity, morales, or ethical values, to STOP the horrific destruction of the lives of parents, children, and family unit. We need God' Hand to raise a leader, that is not fearful of the political party' issue, but the heart-felt desire to truly serve the people with respectful dedication to the people, for the people' well-being, protection, successes, happiness, and free of self-glorification. I pray, this comes soon, as many children are suffering right now, as I send this letter to beg for change. Comment from Amanda on March 31, 2007 1:18 AM I know some children in foster care with their aunt. They are no better than they were with their parents. They are not treated well and certainly not like family. Quite sad really. However, the aunt receives funds from the state AND her brother to take care of his kids. She isn't supposed to take any money from the childrens father. She is a money-grubber on many levels. That is one other sick story where a caseworker has dropped the ball. Comment from chitchatt on March 31, 2007 2:14 AM CPS was called by my x husband when I was only 15 minutes late in picking them up. He called and told them I had abandoned my children on him. He in no way wanted them, but he wanted to hurt me some more. I divorced him because he was an extremely violent man and they knew this because he had knocked me out in their office! No one seen anything! They told him not to return them to me for any reason and that they would pick them up the next morning. Which, they did. 4 days later the Judge ordered them returned to me because the only thing they could hold against me was that my children had 1 unexcused absent day at school that year! They made them miss 3 in that time. I won so, after that there was nothing I could do right. They had my neighbor to report to them, they even had our town marshal in on their reign of terror on our family! I was not a bad mother. They just wanted revenge! And they got it. They ended up winning because, how could I continue? I had already sunk over 20,000.00 into atty fees and whatever my atty said, proved, countered, was on deaf ears. My case was decided before we even got there. CPS even tried to go so far as to set up what would have looked like sexual abuse but the funny thing was, neither I or their father had ever, ever been alone with any of them. And that left only the bbysitter. But then they let that drop. (later handing out this bbysitters card=highly recommended!)They took my children, never to have given them back to me. I tricked the system into getting them back though. I used the x husband. I promised him no support would be asked for ever if he would just tell them that he wanted them. Was 3 years into this and they finally gave them to him, which he handed them to me. We lost over 3 years. Trust of others. Friends. Family. This was in the early 1990s and I was an only one I thought. They were just gearing up. The woman who got mad at me in CPS office and yelled at me, just this Dont you come in here and yell at me! Do you know my power? Let me show you! I am taking your children as of right now! And ,,she did! Comment from chitchatt on March 31, 2007 2:25 AM The woman that ordered my children taken away is now I believe, Head of The Villages? Or something big in there. She used me for practice while she was in training to steal and cash in on taking our children! I tell alot of fact's in what I write, and if someone were to read this that knew my story would know instantly who I am, so, how could I get on here and lie to you people knowing someone could then turn around and sue me?? Please people, wake up! I did not deserve what they did to me, my children did not deserve what they did to them. The abuse they recieved in those places was by far worse than anything I would ever dream of doing to a child! They were instantly split up. One, the oldest went to stay with an officer of the law,,,who proceeded to hancuff my son to the bed so that he would not come in and interfere with their christmas party! I would have been in jail for sure but they say it was ok,,:::???? How can we not do something??? Please people, check out the stats for yourself! Lots of webs out there now! Our group is growing daily as they daily steal our children! Try your first search for info at:www.honkforkids.com(We are real people just like you) We could be you. You could be one of us! Just know, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely! Comment from offineerkitty on April 1, 2007 3:50 PM I have some questions? Why is it in the State of Indiana the children who are maltreated and severely abused are left with their abusers? Why is it in the State of Indiana the children who are loved and cared for by their parent/s are taken from them to be abused by the State and/or foster care? Why is it when the children who were maltreated and severely abused grow up to be adults they are left with no medical insurance or the means to get the proper help dealing with the abuse they suffered under? And do not claim that this isn't true because it has/is happening to me! But then again, this is the State of Indiana, and how stupid of me to think Indiana is a Just State and protects the children! Comment from Frank on April 2, 2007 10:07 AM offineerkitty, Standard procedure is to take the children and hold them until the parents confess. Confession is an automatic substantiation. Substnatiation is important because they don't get reimbursed without it. It is a lot easier coerce a confession than to actually investigate. When the parents give in, the children are returned. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, nothing else happens. The other time turns out badly, makes the headlines, and people wonder why CPS gave the children back. You can abuse your children, you just have to cooperate with CPS, grovel a lot, and butter up the caseworker. It is the parents who maintain their innocence, insist on their rights, and fight the system who get hammered. Comment from Forensic6 on April 2, 2007 4:27 PM Wow. None of you know a THING about DCS/CPS that is rooted in FACT. Try this one on for size: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Now, go do your thing. Comment from hoosiermommynow on April 2, 2007 5:57 PM Oh yeah?, And what makes you the know it all? Is your feelings hurt? Like you said in the J&C, you haven't sold any kids in the black market, so why are you so defensive? Oh no, now I know you will steal my government cheese. We post because we know from experience just what is going on with CPS/DCS in Tippecanoe county, and Indiana. Didn't you say you were from Colorado? Then why worry what people know about Lafayette Indiana? You yourself said it was ugly. You are right. It's getting uglier all of the time. Comment from Parrish Peeples on May 10, 2007 5:03 PM My name is Parrish and I reside in Illinois. The State of Indiana DCS has been harrassing me since 12-14-06 regarding my daughters case with them. Her 1 yr. old was removed because of a bone fracture. Her 4 and 6 year old reside in the State of Illinois and always have. Since the beginning of her case I have been verbally threatened that if I did not bring my grandson to Tippicanoe County to be put in foster care I would be arrested. Well, I did not let DCS tell me what to do, my grandson is a resident of Illinois. Exactly 7 weeks into my daughters case the Case worker Kevin Hintzman called me (1-18-07)to tell me that since I did not do as I was told he called DCFS in Illinois on me so that they could remove all children from my home because of abuse and neglect. My State fell for this trick even though I explained that they only wanted my grandson at any expense at which I became. Well , Illinois could not remove him because there was no abuse or neglect. But to keep an eye on him I was indicated on injuries that my 1 yr. grandson received while in Indiana even though I was in Illinois. Now five months later my daughter is on life support plus she is in a coma and they still want my 6 year old grandson. I was told that if I don't turn over him the family will not get to see her 1 year old again. They are holding him for the ransom of his brother. I am looking for a Civil Rights Lawyer to this day and I will not give up. The State of Indiana used false information to start the case on me in another State although they have never been to my house or seen my children they have accused me of abuse and neglect harrased me, defamed my character and put my children through hell. I am hoping to use my case to help all others that are in the same situation. The Constitution was created to protect our rights as citizens as well as human beings. The State of Indiana stripped me of those rights and lied to the State of Illinois to uptain their help in removing a child from a stable home. Although they did not remove him, he has been torn apart from my home. He's now in another State with relatives to keep him safe. So Indiana still tore my family apart. 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... |
