Is spamming being permitted here??
What's with all the irrelevant anti-CPS propaganda being posted here? As a
child care consultant, I've worked with and for a number of CPS agencies in various regions of the U.S. Invariably, these agencies suffer abject under- funding, with social workers carrying case loads so high that mistakes and oversights are inevitable. The same problem holds true for the Foster Care system. The problem is simple. We live in a society that simply doesn't place a high enough priority on the safety of children. Apparently, we'd rather spend our tax dollars on war-mongering. But, this isn't the issue I've come here to address. I joined this site as a child advocate in the name of Child Abuse Prevention to discuss the major cause of Child Abuse involving physical injury....the practice of spanking. At this (initial) point I'm forced to ask if I've come to the right place in order to do so? |

Anyone educated in the field of Social Work knows that it's the kid's who
suffer most when homes are broken up. I've seen many of these bitter and (fanciful) inaccurate online accounts coming from parents who have had run- ins with CPS agencies. Invariably, these accounts come from either parents investigated or charged with Child Abuse, or from hard-core Libertarians, e.g. , 'I don't want government interference if I should choose to beat my kid bloody'. Of course there are any number of anecdotal accounts related to CPS failures at any given time, but attempts to 'throw out the baby with the bath water' are ludicrous. I'll put this very simply. CPS agencies across the U.S. save from physical harm and emotional harm thousands of children at risk on a yearly basis. And, they accomplish this in the face of woefully inadequate funding. 0:-] wrote: What's with all the irrelevant anti-CPS propaganda being posted here?

I should also add that perhaps it should not be surprising that attacks
against child protection agencies would appear on a 'spanking' board. I'll say again that the majority of reported Child Abuse cases involving physical injury are associated with acts of spanking. Commonly, these injuries to children were 'accidently inflicted' according to investigated/charged parents. I've worked with many of them over the years. Most regret having been guilty of a 'spanking gone wrong'. kidman wrote: Anyone educated in the field of Social Work knows that it's the kid's who suffer most when homes are broken up.

CPS BENEFICIARY sees opposition as SPAM
kidman (James C. Talbot) wrote
Anyone educated in the field of Social Work knows snip That basically rules out being a CPS caseworker! You must be a BENEFICIARY of the corrupt system, lobbying for your own paycheck! What about the MSW's and higher who have said that the only way to reform the corrupt crusading culture inside of the CPS agencies is to dismantle them completely and start over with NONE of the old people? Anyone educated in the field of Social Work is indoctrinated into a mindset and even falsehoods codified by textbooks. Textbook descriptions of Munchausens By Proxy are partly to blame for the large number of FALSE accusations of it. Back in the 1980's when the main ""educational materials"" on Ritual Satanic Child Abuse were an NBC Movie of the Week, there was a rash of MASS child removals and investigations in several places. Then FBI researched and found that RSCA was almost pure hysteria. The BILLIONS spent on RSCA was a BOONDOGGLE. Do they teach that in the Social Work textbooks? Your think that opposition opinions threatening your paycheck are SPAM? LOL OF COURSE you want to minimize the disasters that happen in state custody, and emphasize the few cases of horrific child abuse at the hands of parents. And you'd like to portray spanking as the "slippery slope" that leads to real child abuse, but you don't want to address the "slippery slope" of government intrusion into families. Golly tongue in cheek how come your big issues mimick those of Kane so exactly? Almost like a clone or rubber stamp... I believe the industry term is "cookie cutter"... Tell me, do you have any independent thought or do you buy the Child Protection INDUSTRY "party line" completely? Just a little bit self serving don't you think? By the way, there have been a few NAMBLA type "KIDMEN" caught and convicted working as Child Protection caseworkers. Weren't they serving themselves also? http://groups.google.com/group/alt.p...c59501102a6dec Newsgroups: alt.parenting.spanking Subject: Is spamming being permitted here?? 1.

I see that Family KB is blatantly NOT a place for insiders only
and so Family Rights and Parents Rights gripes about the Child Protection INDUSTRY would not be SPAM of course. It certainly isn't SPAM in public newsgroups. I don't think much of the various "Content Management" companies like Advenet which use PIECES of public newsgroups as content to sell their web site advertising. You only said that to TROLL for activity. I see that you are desperate for activity. "Prior to graduate school, I worked for a child-protective agency as a Social Worker 2" They usually use "Social Worker II". The more proper title is Caseworker, BSW. Most CPS caseworkers are NOT licensed SW's but are allowed to CALL themselves SW by virtue of their JOB, not their educational credentials. You only lasted a year doing that, yet you think it's so very noble? Can you prove this is really even your name? http://ezinearticles.com/?expert_bio=James_C._Talbot BIO for James Talbot After four years in the Marine Corps and a stint as the leading Sales Manager for Beneficial Mgmt. Corp., I went on to a B.A. in Psychology from Oberlin College. During my undergraduate studies, in my assigned position with the Urban Studies Program, I authored, implemented, and directed a study called 'Operation Success' for the Cleveland Public School System. I was selected as a Research Intern for a semester, and then retained as a Research Consultant for a second semester to complete the study. This study was an especially designed existing program for inner-city students deemed to be potential high-school drop-outs. My hypothesis was that given the right environment, these students could improve their self-concepts as learners. With pre and post testing, the study proved to show a significant increase in the students' self-concepts as learners in a formal educational setting. During this time, I taught drums and played in a Rock & Roll band. I recruited eleven of my students to form a drum section which won a national championship the following year. I also taught a course in a private high school entitled 'Alternatives in Education'. After graduation from Oberlin College in 1972, I accepted a position as a Counselor at a drop-in center for teen-agers with drug and family problems. My responsibilities included one-on-one sessions, leading a group-session, speaking to community groups and schools, and escorting prisoners (drug-related offenders) from a state honor farm to group sessions. I subsequently left this position to become the Executive Director of the Sandusky Valley Board of Drug Abuse where I was responsible for setting-up and overseeing Drug Abuse Prevention Programs for a three county area. Speaking to various groups and organizations, counselling, and staff training were also an integral part of the job. Prior to graduate school, I worked for a child-protective agency as a Social Worker 2. This position involved working with abusive and negligent parents and their children in an attempt to keep the families together when feasible. While I was in this position I became aware of the incredible need of children to gain love and acceptance from their parents. I attended the University of Northern Colorado for my post-graduate work in Psychology where I maintained a 3.9 GPA. Over the years I've accumulated more than 500 University Contact Hours through various field-related classes and seminars. Over a period of five years, I founded and directed an alternative boarding school for children judged by public school systems to have behavior or adjustment problems. While waiting for various approvals and funding, I accepted a position as a Teacher and Activity Therapist at a private school for the Severely Developmentally Disabled. With regard to the purpose of this biography, my field-related work experience is of minor significance compared to the "proof-of-the- pudding" of my son and daughter. Suffice it to say, if your kids turn out like mine have, you won't be able to keep from feeling the same fulfillment, gratification and joy as I do. There is nothing more important that I could have done with my life than having played a significant role in providing an environment for my children that optimized their chances of one day reaching their full potential; while also optimizing their chances of finding a preponderance of happiness, joy, and fulfillment throughout their lives. My son is 27, my daughter 25. They are both much-loved and have an uncommon number of friends who hold them in high esteem. They are altruistic, loving, mature, compassionate, kind, and out-going. They are already clear about what has true meaning in life. They are relatively stress-free and have the ablility to handle life's vicissitudes with great aplomb. Because of the strength and self- esteem they acquired during their formative years, I never had to worry about their mental health, substance abuse, delinquent behavior, or social problems. Unlike me at their age, the clear-headed choices they have made in their lives are impeccable. The sophistication and scope of their perceptions, insights, and level of consciousness surpassed mine a number of years ago, and I found myself in need of making a transition from teacher to student in these areas. I should also add that they are both comfortable with who they are and what they stand for. I do not exaggerate when I say my son is already a giant of a man. His nobility, heroism, and generosity of himself (even at the risk of getting hurt) is quite frankly, beyond my experience. I could cite an incredible example of this but it's a long story. Ask me if you'd like. His passion is for the Environmental Sciences and he was President of an environmental association in college. My son's demeanor is an ever-present, unassuming self-assuredness that has a tendency to endear him to just about everyone he comes in contact with. He's warm, caring, funny, and a good listener. My daughter is vivacious, radiant, and effervescent. She's very sweet yet very strong. She will soon embark in a career as a Teacher in Special Education and is married to a fine young attorney. I'm really not sure if she could be any happier than she is right now. She has shown an ability to lead a life where the magnitude of the problems she encounters day-to-day are minimized to the point of being the envy of most people, maybe even just about ALL people. Throughout her life, she has never given me cause to raise my voice at her in anger. In conclusion, I've heard Oprah Winfrey (among others) say, "The hardest job in the world is raising kids". I beg to differ in the strongest terms! JUST ASK ME WHY!

Over a period of five years, I founded and directed an alternative boarding school for children judged by public school systems to have behavior or adjustment problems. While waiting for various approvals and funding, I accepted a position as a Teacher and Activity Therapist at a private school for the Severely Developmentally Disabled. With regard to the purpose of this biography, my field-related work experience is of minor significance compared to the "proof-of-the- pudding" of my son and daughter. Suffice it to say, if your kids turn out like mine have, you won't be able to keep from feeling the same fulfillment, gratification and joy as I do. There is nothing more important that I could have done with my life than having played a significant role in providing an environment for my children that optimized their chances of one day reaching their full potential; while also optimizing their chances of finding a preponderance of happiness, joy, and fulfillment throughout their lives. My son is 27, my daughter 25. They are both much-loved and have an uncommon number of friends who hold them in high esteem. They are altruistic, loving, mature, compassionate, kind, and out-going. They are already clear about what has true meaning in life. They are relatively stress-free and have the ablility to handle life's vicissitudes with great aplomb. Because of the strength and self- esteem they acquired during their formative years, I never had to worry about their mental health, substance abuse, delinquent behavior, or social problems. Unlike me at their age, the clear-headed choices they have made in their lives are impeccable. The sophistication and scope of their perceptions, insights, and level of consciousness surpassed mine a number of years ago, and I found myself in need of making a transition from teacher to student in these areas. I should also add that they are both comfortable with who they are and what they stand for. I do not exaggerate when I say my son is already a giant of a man. His nobility, heroism, and generosity of himself (even at the risk of getting hurt) is quite frankly, beyond my experience. I could cite an incredible example of this but it's a long story. Ask me if you'd like. His passion is for the Environmental Sciences and he was President of an environmental association in college. My son's demeanor is an ever-present, unassuming self-assuredness that has a tendency to endear him to just about everyone he comes in contact with. He's warm, caring, funny, and a good listener. My daughter is vivacious, radiant, and effervescent. She's very sweet yet very strong. She will soon embark in a career as a Teacher in Special Education and is married to a fine young attorney. I'm really not sure if she could be any happier than she is right now. She has shown an ability to lead a life where the magnitude of the problems she encounters day-to-day are minimized to the point of being the envy of most people, maybe even just about ALL people. Throughout her life, she has never given me cause to raise my voice at her in anger. In conclusion, I've heard Oprah Winfrey (among others) say, "The hardest job in the world is raising kids". I beg to differ in the strongest terms! JUST ASK ME WHY!

BIO for greg - I think Greg first met Lisa Watkins in the courthouse while they were on trial in different courtrooms. Check out her record! They're the Bonnie and Clyde or Iowa. It's no wonder she went along with whatever Greg wanted!

BIO for greg
Hi there. The link you provided didn't work for me, but I can offer a good
guess as to what information it discloses. I have a question. Why would a board devoted to a discussion on the practice of spanking allow for the spamming of anti-child welfare programs? I'm reminded of spanking fetishist's who attempt to disrupt spanking debate boards. Is this board not moderated? I must say that I'm interested in efforts toward child abuse prevention, not anti-child propaganda (which in essence, these inflammatory, misleading postings represent). So, let me ask you kindly, is this the normal situation here? If so, I should be on my way (I'm fairly burned-out on attempting to deal with crusading child abusers who have lost their 'parental right' to continue their abusive practices....I've already put my time in.) Thanks. firemonkey wrote: BIO for gregor 1. Go to http://www.iowacourts.state.ia.us/ES...p/DefaultFrame 2. Start a case search for gregory s hanson, choose Linn county It is what it is.
