CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY...

Understand that the state-governed "Child-Protective Systems" neither
protect the children nor operate in a sensible, systematic manner.

We are here to let the puplic know how inept the Child Welfare System
is, and to form a coalition of interested efforts around the country so
that we might speak with one voice and offer hope and justice to those
familys that have been wronged by CPS. The child-protective services in
the U.S. have become way too powerful, with almost no accountability. It
is a mix of paranoia and "power-tripping" that has made for a dangerous
state of affairs. In many states, the so-called "checks and balances"
systems are a joke, partly because there is less blame involved in
destroying innocent families than there is in failing to go after real
child-abuse cases.

It is also well-documented that children typically DIE IN THE SYSTEM --
and this documentation comes from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services itself.

Deaths that occure while a child is under the custody or supervision
of Child Welfare are especially shamefull. Child Protective Services in
45 states reported 32 deaths that occurred in foster care. Of these, 17
deaths were reported by other agencys. That means that 2.7% of all child
fatalities reported by the states occured in some type of Out-of-Home
placement on Childrens Protective Service`s watch.

Government stats for 1996-1997 show that 0.7%of all the children in
the states are under the control of CPS. That is less than 1%, but those
children are at 4 times greater risk of death, and 9 times greater risk
of being involved in serious crime, than the average of those children
in the general population. They call this protection? My study is not
complete and the stats will have a wider margin for error but at this
time it appears that of the children wrongfully deprived of family by
Childrens Services the death rate climbs to 5 times a greater risk of
death than the general population and 12 times a greater risk of being
involved in serious crime. Of course there is no reasonable stats to
calculate the additional long term causes of death (substance
abuse/mental issues/crime) that this portion of the population will
suffer. This is not PROTECTING the children, this is MURDERING the
children... This is TORTURING the children... THESE ARE IN FACT CRIMES
AGAINST HUMANITY...

And another tragedy is that the "Child-Protective Services" in this
country are especially hard on families with handicap children,
particularly the mentally handicap. Why? Because they are often ignorant
of the special problems that can arise out of dealing with the mentally
handicap; because it is too easy for them to pass off a problem beyond
their understanding as "emotional abuse"; because it is easier to show
"progress" with such families, usually middle-class law-abiding citizens
who are struggling to do their best for their special-needs children.
Their idea of "progress" is forcing the parents, UNDER THREAT of having
their children SNATCHED AWAY to attend "parenting" courses. that often
has nothing to do with special-needs children, and also to see
psychologists or therapists that are usually of little or no help, but
are only there to make money off of these innocent families, at
taxpayer's expense. And who will be the ones that will be diligent at
keeping the forever ongoing appointments? The honest, innocent,
struggling families, not the real hardened child-abusers who really need
these services.

The other crux of this heinous problem lies with society itself, which
is largely ignorant or biased against the mentally handicap. It is bad
enough that beleaguered parents have to deal with the complexities and
headaches of raising such a child without also having to deal with the
fallout of ignorance of those around them!

Those with normal children are also beset with dangers. Reckless
teenagers (and sometimes younger kids) will sometimes hang CPS over
their parents' heads to get their way. When they don't get their way,
they'll call CPS and lie about some minor type of child-abuse. When the
CPS rips them asunder and sticks them in the vulture-care (I'm sorry -
foster care) system, they are quickly sorry for what they've done, but
then it's too late -- the CPS will not listen to the teen anymore, and
the forced estrangement continues. No one wins.

If a younger child, perhaps too young to be aware of proper word usage,
happens to use the wrong word in describing something at home, the
school system goes paranoid and "reports" this to CPS, often distorting
the issue. By the time CPS comes flying out to knock on your door, you
are presented with pure fiction that bears no resemblance to what your
child originally said it the first place. In some cases, they may insist
on "questioning" your child -- really they want to put your young child
through an inquisition, and get your child to say things that they can
use against you.

It stands to reason that NO PARENT ANYWHERE in the United States is
immune from these dangers -- it can happen to you, me, anyone at
anytime. Families do not have rights under the law. Your children are
not really yours, but are chattel of the state. Your integrity as a
parent is always open to query and scrutiny, no matter how good a parent
your are. And the CPSes in this country are HUNGRY for more children to
be tied up in their system to keep their careers going. They are hungry
for YOUR children. They have grown callous and have lost their
principles. They want cases that are EASY to process, not ones that
require real work. They want young healthy blond- hair and blue-eyed
children, because these children are regarded as being "very marketable"
-- foster parents are beating down the doors to get these type of
children. It is easier for them to come after you, a middle-class
law-abiding citizen, than it is for them to go after true child abusers
Firstly, there are far more good people than bad. Secondly, you live in
less dangerous neighborhoods than many of the places real child abuse
actually occurs. Thirdly, you are assumed naive and therefore easy prey,
for the simple fact that CPS has a unspoken gag order on the press,
preventing them from doing the real investigative reporting that would
keep CPS honest and above water (what a concept!).

The purpose of this site, therefore, is to serve as a focal point for
all the atrocities that CPS commit against children and their parents.
To "err" on the side of the child is to abuse that child and to
traumatize that child and his parents. Yet CPS does so routinely. But
what is an "err"? It is really a "mistake" when social workers find ways
to circumvent the laws to pursue their dreaded goals? Is it really an
"err" when CPS does everything in its power to prevent the reunion of
child and innocent parent? Is it really a "mistake" when innocent
parents are forced to "confess" and heed the will of a bureaucracy with
their children used as bargaining chips? Is it really an "err" that CYS
receives its funding based largely on the number of children in the
system? Is it a innocent mistake? Or open malice? Why should YOUR
children be used to justify their exsistance?

The Child-Industrial Complex needs your children to stay alive. It needs
head count. It needs children that are easy to place. It need vulture
care (foster care) parents, regardless of their backgrounds or
suitability. Yes, my friends, the Child-Industrial Complex exist to
perpetuate itself, and they will forever seek new ways to define us
parents as "child abusers". The latest push is to define cigarette
smoking "child abuse" if the parents do it around the kids. What will it
be next? Will just looking at your kid cross-eyed be considered
"emotional child abuse"? Pretty soon, they will find "ways" to define
every parent in our nation as some type of child abuser.

To all parents in America, I have one piece of solemn advice for you:
Stay Alert, Trust No One, Always Keep Your Passport Handy. At least
everyone knew where Hitler stood. But the current system is sly and
seductive, indirectly controlling the media and the minds of the public
at large. But just like the concentration camps had its lot of willing
volunteers, so it seems that CPS has its lots of people who believe in
them, either professionally or at a distance. And this time it is not
one ethnic group being put in gas chambers. It is children, our
children, all children, that have become items of commodity for the
Child-Industrial Complex. All parents are seen as "potential child
abusers" by the child snatchers. It is time to cast off the shackles of
complacency and see for yourself what is going on in our country. We can
stop this. We can put an end to the atrocities CPS endangers us all
with. And we will stand victorious someday. But it must begin with you.
Each and every parent in this country owes it to themselves to become
educated, and then to put an end to The Problem. Stand Up For Your
Parental Rights before they are completely demolished by CPS. Support
this countrys children NOW, before they are the NEXT VICTIMS.

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.
