Dad wants a judge to order the release of his son's child welfare
Brandon's dad seeks CPS records
SHERYL KORNMAN Tucson Citizen http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/local/52312.php The father of a 5-year-old autistic boy who died March 22 of a drug overdose that police suspect was administered by his mother wants a judge to order the release of his son's child welfare records. Melvin Williams, 41, has asked a Pima County Superior Court judge to order the Arizona Department of Economic Security to release to him "all Child Protective Services information regarding his deceased" son, Brandon Williams. Williams said in his May 9 filing that he plans to sue the state for wrongful death. Brandon Williams' mother, Diane Marsh, 39, and Flower Tompson, 27, who was living with Marsh, each have been charged with first-degree murder in the death. According to police and court records, investigators suspect Marsh and Tompson gave Brandon 12 adult doses of a pain and cold medication. The boy's body at death also showed signs of abuse, records show. Melvin Williams said in his petition to the court that "CPS received information in 2006 and 2007 that Brandon Williams was being neglected and/or abused while in the custody of his biological mother, Diane Marsh." "It appears that CPS negligently failed to investigate the matter and to take necessary and appropriate steps to protect Brandon Williams and that such negligence was a cause of Brandon Williams death," he said in the document. He said CPS "has no right" to keep this information "confidential from his father." CPS was not contacted for this article but in the past a CPS spokeswoman has declined comment about the Williams case at the request of the Pima County Attorney's Office. 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... |

Remember a few years ago when an agency redacted electronic documents and somebody discovered that the electronic redaction could be undone? It was discovered that their motive for redacting was more about avoiding embarassment rather than legally acceptable protection of sensitive/private info. If a copy of any destroyed document survives somewhere and is found it would not go well for the agency that sanitized a child's case file after death in agency custody. |
