The Family Under Attack - Does the State Own YOUR Children?
The Family Under Attack - Does the State Own YOUR Children?
http://www.nolanchart.com/article3580.html Why the ongoing imprisonment of FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) children in Texas should serve as a warning to every family in America.by Carter Braxton (Libertarian) Saturday, April 26, 2008 "The children are in a position to no longer on a daily basis be influenced by adults who have encouraged a code of silence," said Darrell Azar, a spokesman for Child Protective Services. "Now that they are away from that influence they may become more comfortable, and we will have a better chance of learning the truth." The first thing I'm going to say is that removal of children from the home is sometimes justified. Children are individuals too and as such have rights, including the right to be free from the unjustified use of force. No parent has the right to physically or sexually abuse their child. The state is the arbiter of rights. It is the duty of the state to identify where rights have been violated and to take action to correct those wrongs. If evidence exists that a parent has exceeded (or perverted) their authority to teach and correct, it can properly be presented in the form of an indictment detailing the criminal acts alleged to have been committed. But the state is not a parent. Absent specific evidence of a crime, of specific harm being done to a specific child by a specific adult (at a specific time and place, etc.) the state has no authority to intercede in the parent – child relationship. At least it didn’t until now. Formerly, the law considered parents to have sole legal right and responsibility for the upbringing of their children. They, and they alone, had the right to teach, correct and protect. That it was the right of the parent to make decisions related to the religious or philosophical upbringing of their child rested at the very heart of our system of liberties. To replace the wisdom of the parents with the authority of the state is to upend that system. And the movement to do just that is gaining momentum. The recent raid on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints ( FLDS ) Yearning For Zion ( YFZ ) Ranch in Texas (and subsequent detainment of 416 children) is a particularly egregious example of this trend. Military tactics (machine guns and armored personnel carriers) were used to "extricate" 416 children. No evidence. No warrant. No charges. Just guns (and social workers, of course). And it is now being argued in court, and apparently successfully (to judge by the continued detainment of the 416 children), that the beliefs of the parents, in and of themselves, were harmful enough to the children that they needed to be removed. Let me repeat: none of the mothers or fathers were charged with any specific criminal acts. Lifestyle was their crime. Religion their offense. The point is not whether you share their beliefs, but whether you feel they had the right to hold them, and to pass them on to their children. The relationship between parent and child is unique. It is perhaps the only relationship before the law where inequality of rights is actually justified. Children have rights, but those rights cannot be over-expanded without doing detriment to the individual child, the family unit, and society as a whole. Under the pretense of "youth rights", or "protecting the children", the state can engage in egregious acts of "reeducation" and social engineering. By molding the minds of the young, the state can mold the entire society. That is why parents must jealously guard their right to parent. Acquiescence to the state’s demands to number, immunize, psychotropically medicate, or educate your child a certain way may not be in your child’s best interest. You, the parent, not the state, are the one who should make these important decisions. But education of children is especially the key to controlling any society. Every successful totalitarian regime has understood this. Independent families are a threat to the future of any totalitarian system because they can teach children that the state is not the benevolent master it pretends to be. That is exactly the kind of education the state detests (and the reason you’ll never find mention of it in any government school). And perhaps, just perhaps, that’s the real reason behind some of the government’s "child protection" actions. Perhaps the state feels the need to "protect" children against teachings that conflict with the interests of the state. An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and the Child Protection "INDUSTRY" Child Protective Services Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of CPS. every parent should read the free handbook from connecticut dcf watch... 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.

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.
