Finger pointing in Hartford over DCF debacle: family's treatmentof a foster child, 'cruel and inhumane'.
Finger pointing in Hartford over DCF debacle
http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp...9&nav=menu29_2 by News Channel 8's Alan Cohn Posted Nov. 29, 2007 6:15 PM Hartford (WTNH) _ Gov. Rell wants answers from the Department of Children and Family Services and the attorney general after a Team 8 Investigation revealed that a family with a history of abuse against foster children were able to adopt another child. A report by DCF called a Stratford's family treatment of a foster child, 'cruel and inhumane'. The 2-year old child was discovered in a darkened room, trapped in playpen with a wood board and bungee cords. DCF removed the child from the custody of Theresa and Michael Soltis but then allowed another special needs child to be adopted by the couple. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said of the decision that, "This case is 'Exhibit A' for reviewing and changing the policies and procedures of DCF, certainly to make them more open and accountable." But tonight Gov. Rell is pinning the blame on how the case was handled on Blumenthal. In a statement she said, "It is important to note DCF was represented in this case by the office of the attorney general, which registered no complaint about the decision." Blumenthal defended his staff by saying, "They are not involved in decisions about placements and adoptions. They are lawyers to represent to the court the DCF personnel and their decisions and evidence." Governor Rell says that the use of restrainst was clearly inappropriate, but stands by the DCF decision because experts believed it was in the best interest of the child. She also pointed out that the incident took place during a prior adminstration. 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... |
