Tucson, arizona: Dead kids' mom: CPS culpable
Dead kids' mom: CPS culpable
SHERYL KORNMAN Tucson Citizen http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/daily/local/68254.php The attorney for the mother of slain children Ariana and Tyler Payne has added evidence of culpability by CPS to its claim against the state in the children's deaths. Their mother, Jamie Hallam, is trying to collect monetary damages from the state and Child Protective Services. The state agency's workers ignored Hallam's child custody papers and told police to leave the children with their father, her ex-husband Christopher Payne, according to an outside review of the case paid for by the state and released Nov. 1. Payne had been denied custody and visitation by a judge in the couple's divorce proceedings. Payne is now charged with first-degree murder in the deaths and county prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty if he's convicted. The body of Ariana, 4, was found in a storage locker Feb. 18. Tyler's body has not been found. The boy, 5, is presumed dead by authorities. In an "addendum to notice of claim," attorney Jorge Franco Jr. of Phoenix used the conclusions of CPS's independent analyst, who reviewed the agency's handling of the matter, to bolster Hallam's case against the state. Franco says in the addendum dated Nov. 7 that CPS supervisors failed multiple times to ensure the safety of the children. He said that after CPS told police to leave the children with Payne, CPS never checked custody records or Payne's criminal record and never visited Payne's home for required home visits when children are suspected of being at risk. Hallam was being investigated by CPS for alleged drug use and was not criminally charged. CPS failed to state how Hallam's alleged drug use affected the children, the outside review said. Franco said the state has not responded to the notice of claim he filed Aug. 16 and said the state's 60-day response deadline expired Oct. 15. He asks that the state meet with him to settle the case, although the notice of claim deadline has expired and he is free to file a lawsuit seeking damages. State law requires potential litigants to file a claim notice before they can sue state agencies. Franco said he aims to save the state litigation costs through an out-of-court settlement. On Thursday, the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office released its autopsy report on Ariana Payne. Dr. Eric D. Peters, a forensic pathologist, said the child died from "homicidal violence" that could not be specified. He certified the death as a homicide. At around the time of death, her back was broken in half from force applied "right to left," across the child's spine. She had healing fractures to 12 ribs and a shoulder. One rib was broken in two. Dr. Bruce A. Anderson, a forensic pathologist, examined the remains. The remains were found in black, plastic garbage bags inside a duffel bag that was inside a hard, blue plastic storage bin at a rented storage locker at 519 E. Prince Road. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA 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. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
