Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.
Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.
Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.
Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.
Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.
CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.
Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.
It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.
Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.

Allison Newman’s mother wanted to recover from an addiction to crack cocaine, so she asked an acquaintance to watch her six month old baby temporarily. When Michigan social workers got into the act, the baby ended up in the home of Carol Poole, 42, a barren woman living in an expensive upscale home, who wanted children. She has now been convicted of murdering Allison when she was only two.
Allison’s grandfather, Kenneth Newman said:
- “She cracked that baby’s skull open, dressed her and put her to bed to die.”
- “People (child welfare workers) turned their heads because these people lived out in Canton and had a few dollars in the bank.”
- “There was evidence that Allison started being abused seven or eight weeks before her death. When Ann (the girl’s mother) went into rehab, the date to sever parental rights got postponed and Carol Poole realized she wasn’t going to get to adopt Allison. We think that’s when everything went bad.”
(Source: Doug Guthrie of The Detroit News - see link below.)
Carol Poole has now been convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 to 30 years in prison. She also got 10 to 15 years for child abuse.
Quoting from Guthrie’s article:
“During her trial, two workers at the Childtime Learning Center day care in Plymouth said they noticed scratches and bruises on Allison long before her death. They reported the findings to their supervisor, who was charged but not convicted of failing to comply with state law by reporting the injuries.”
During 2005 and 2006 three children died in Michigan foster and adoptive homes: Allison Newman, Issac Lethbridge, and Ricky Holland.

And Michigan DHS is still trying to say that either they don’t have problems, or that they need huge piles of money to solve their problems, as if money can buy common sense or basic respect for other human beings.

I fought for my children with a ferocity that was like a bear protecting her cubs, this further enraged KY DCPS to the point that they held Custodial Hearings without me and took them anyway.

I am appalled by the immediate response to convict this women by the very little information given in the article. To wish anyone to be barren is vindictive and disturbing. Everyone reading this article is hearing the grandfathers angry words and assuming them to be all true. Could it be that this woman made a mistake that sadly cost a child her life, I know as a parent myself I have made decisions whether to take my child to emergency because a bump on the head or other injury. Also how many 2 year old do you know that have scratches and bruises….almost all of them unless they live in a padded room. Maybe we should take a step back and really think that this was a tragic accident and what this woman and her family will are going through for the rest of their lives. This sounds like a overzealous prosecutor and a victim’s family looking to punish someone for a tragic accident. Why is it that we as a society have to have someone to blame for everything. Sometimes accidents or mistakes are happen/made….we after all are only human.
My heart goes out to child and her all of her family and foster family.

my son was in foster care because of a doctor that hates bi-polars(I am bi-polar.) My son was in foster care 10 months and the foster mother made 3 attempts to kill him. she took him off his apnea monitor at 1 month old, took him off the nebulizer, and beat his head repeatedly in to a wall. Each time she blamed it on me to be able to keep my son, and cys believed her.
