Default Texas Shame


Texas Shame

Pregnant adult women held in captivity until childbirth so that the
state can take possession of the baby. Think this can’t happen in the
US? In Texas? Think again.

Texas Child Protective Services said today at a custody hearing for
a child born to one of the YFZ Ranch children that the agency no longer
believes the mother is a minor.

Today’s custody hearing was continued to Friday to allow attorneys
to prepare. The mother will need a new attorney because the attorneys
representing her also are representing other minors and were concerned
about conflicts of interest.

Knowing full well that this mother is an adult, what will the state
attempt to do when the hearing resumes?

When the hearing resumes, state officials said, they will continue
to seek custody of the infant.

Think this is an isolated case? Think again. It happened again
yesterday. A 22 year old woman with two children was held in captivity
until she gave birth.

A mother taken from a polygamist sect and being held as a minor in
state custody gave birth Monday to a baby boy who was immediately taken
into child-protective custody.

The new mother has claimed she is 22 and has filed a writ of habeas
corpus to be freed from state custody.

Her 24 year old husband received an emergency court order to stop the
state from whisking the child off to a foster home.

State District Judge Orlinda Naranjo issued an injunction that
temporarily halted CPS’ plan to move the mother, the newborn and the
couple’s two other children, ages 2 and 3, to San Antonio within hours
of the delivery at an Austin birthing center.

The judge said the mother and the three youngsters will remain in
Travis County until after a hearing Thursday on Mr. Jessop’s request
that another district judge in Austin, Darlene Byrne, order his wife and
children released from state care.

So where did CPS put the woman and her newborn for the night, hours
after the birth?

Because CPS had no foster care placement in Travis County that was
suitable for the newborn, the mother and child were poised to spend the
night in a CPS office, a lawyer for the husband said.

“This woman has been removed from the birthing center with a brand
new baby boy and is now sitting in the offices of CPS because they don’t
have anywhere else to put her,” Ms. Matassarin said.

Why would the state not release a 22 year old woman?

Rod Parker, an attorney and spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, accused state officials of
deliberately holding a pregnant mother they to knew to be of legal age
so they could take her baby into custody upon birth.

“They just wanted to keep the mother in custody until they could
get the baby,” Parker said.

In a million years, you could not have convinced me that this would be
allowed to take place in the United States of America, much less the
State of Texas. Until I witnessed it happening before my very eyes.

Think it can’t happen to you? Think again.





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. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS

Perpetrators of Maltreatment

Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13
Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12
Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological 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.

THIS IS AMERICA'S HIDDEN HOLOCAUST

Currently Child Protective Services violates more constitutionally
guaranteed liberties & civil rights on a daily basis then all other
agencies combined, Including the National Security agency/Central
intelligence agency wiretaping programs…

A recent study has found that 12-18 months after leaving foster ca

30% of the nation’s homeless are former foster children.
27% of the males and 10% of the females had been incarcerated
33% were receiving public assistance
37% had not finished high school
2% receive a college degree
50% were unemployed

Children in foster care are three to six times more likely than children
not in care to have emotional, behavioral and developmental problems,
including conduct disorders, depression, difficulties in school and
impaired social relationships. Some experts estimate that about 30% of
the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various
studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care
tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school
compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their
education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment
than the general population.
*Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support

80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system.

The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn
of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child
psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should
just be blown up.

http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991

Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s
foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing.

This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would
have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in
the first place.

The bottom line? - Child Protective Services and the Foster Care system
for the most part turns out young adults that are nothing more than
walking wreckage...

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CONSTITUTIONALLY
GUARANTEED LIBERTIES & CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER
AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS....

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...
