Yesterday Becky left a comment here on FightCPS.Com that brings up an issue that looks important enough that I should share it here on the front page of the site.

Becky suggested that we communicate with the chairman of our state legislature’s auditing committee. The point would be to have your county’s CPS agency investigated and audited for unfair fiscal practices such as taking non-abused children so they can garner federal dollars, or double-dipping by taking money from the state or feds for the same things they’re charging parents for via child support dollars. Becky wrote that her state’s auditing committee is helping her.

CPS deceitful financial practices must be stopped, and this is something every taxpayer should want exposed and corrected.

Did you know that CPS is draining the Federal Social Security Fund by taking reimbursement money for all those “services” you’re forced into?

Do you have any other suggestions along this line?

Can you suggest what we might tell the chairman of our state’s auditing committee, regarding what CPS is doing wrong?

Becky, any more information would be gratefully appreciated. How did you get this started in your state?

In Scotland a twelve-year-old girl is sick with rickets. Her vegan diet is to blame, according to doctors who are reporting the family to child welfare authorities there.

Vegans are vegetarians who don’t use dairy products. Apparently rickets is a deficiency of vitamin D - and I find it strange that veganism is being blamed since you can get vitamin D from exposure to sunshine.

At Macrobiotics and Rickets parents speak out saying they’ve raised children on vegan diets without Rickets or any other diseases. The cases they’ve seen may be attributed to lack of sunshine in very young children, or lack of a balanced diet, for example, too much wheat, which doesn’t have vitamin D.

A Dr. Jym Moon is quoted on the macrobiotics site: “The most important thing to know about rickets is that it is not a “vitamin deficiency disease”. It is, in fact, a lack of SUNSHINE that causes rickets.

“Vitamin D” is not a normal component of the diet of most people throughout the world. The statement in the article is not accurate in that it states that it implies that “dairy products, meat and wheat” are good sources of vitamin D and calcium.

Neither meat nor wheat contain any vitamin D and dairy products would not contribute much “vitamin D” to the diet, if they were not heavily fortified.

Since sunshine, not diet, is the major factor influencing development of rickets, the article needs to be more carefully evaluated. If, for instance, dark-skinned (Asian or African, etc) macrobiotics move to Glasgow (the seat of rickets in the 1620s), they would be well-advised to provide their infants with a source of “vitamin D”, and this would effectively prevent them from developing rickets.”

The article I read about the vegan parents in Scotland cites a USA case in which the vegan parents of a child that died have been sentenced to prison for life. It seems there must be a lot more to this story; it is too bad the news agencies aren’t more forthcoming with information.

Side note: I’m a long-time vegetarian and recently became vegan after a ten day cleansing diet. I’ve never felt better.

Recently Seth Godin wrote about The Clowd. Apparently it is coming… your cell phones will be able to tell people where you are 24/7.

Does that sound helpful and fun? …Or does it sound like an invasion of privacy?

Do you like people having the power of constant surveillance over you?

Personally, I take my privacy seriously. I’m not a fan of phones, especially cell phones. I’ve never owned one. I’m sad and disappointed that my small town finally got a cell phone tower about a year ago. They emit dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation. Did we need that? Should I buy a cell phone and support that? No way!

But I’m aware that most of you live in larger population areas than I do and by now, cell phones are a part of life. I’m wondering how you’ll feel about them when Big Brother can use them to follow your every move. Don’t we have enough invasion of privacy already? Do you think CPS caseworkers use them to track the whereabouts of their clients?

This week I received email with links to a series of news articles written by Barbara Hollingsworth about CPS injustice. She’s looking for cases in and around Washington DC, to profile them in future news articles.

Here are her article links:

Victims claim CPS officials guilty of ‘ruthless behavior - examples of CPS injustice from around the USA.

Is it child protection or legal kidnapping? - how CPS works, and how innocent parents can be accused of wrongdoing.

Bureaucrats running down the clock against parents - this is about ASFA, the Orwellian law passed in 1996 that allows CPS to terminate parental rights after keeping a child in foster care for only 15 months. This has encouraged the CPS tactic of delaying reunifications until the time limit is reached so they can adopt out children even if the parents are adequate and have done everything required. This law also gives states bonus money for each child adopted out.

ASFA = “The Adoptions and Safe Families Act” - ostensibly written to keep children from having to live in long term foster care, by encouraging adoptions. In practice it has encouraged states to rip apart young families to get the babies because they are most easily adopted out. Older “hard to adopt” children are featured on meat-market type websites where people can look through to see if they want any featured children. The states get thousands of dollars for each adoption, from the federal treasury. “Child collectors”… aka Adopters… get thousands of dollars in adoption subsidy payments. Social workers get jobs since they are the front-line in taking children from their families. It is a win-win situation for everyone except parents and children who are used, abused, and traumatized for life by this pathetic rush for money by greedy systemites.

If CPS workers are ever brought to justice, and forced to go to trial for the crimes they have committed against families, will it be enough for them to say “I was only doing my job”?

It didn’t work for the Nazi’s put on trial at Nuremberg after World War II.

If caseworkers or other systemites who participated in decimating your family were put on trial, what should they be charged with?

About a year ago I made a Squidoo Lens (page) featuring this website. As of this time, my lens, Fighting Child Protective Services False Allegations, is getting about 125 visits per week. I also made a few other Squidoo lenses on other topics that interest me.

This month I got my first payment from Squidoo. It came as a surprise because I’d forgotten about the site, and wasn’t working on making any new lenses for almost a year. They paid me $55 through PayPal.

I went back to Squidoo this month intent on making a few more lenses. Anything that pays me of course gets my interest because I’m just like most of you - a working person barely making it from month to month. A little extra income helps a lot! Well, I noticed that a lot of people had signed up for Squidoo from my FightCPS page, yet not one of them had made any pages of their own.

So I’m here to ask you all to consider making some Squidoo pages about your feelings about CPS. If you write about fighting CPS, I will feature your Squidoo lens on the front page of this site where I get over 700 visitors daily. All you have to do is make that lens!

I’ve also created a Squidoo “group” for us: Family Rights Lenses. I will add your lenses to this group (or you can add them yourself.)

Let’s make Family Rights a better-known issue on the Squidoo website.

Start here: Fighting Child Protective Services False Allegations

People who need CPS defense lawyers can post their information here.

Please keep it brief - no more than 500 words.

If you post an email address to be contacted, please post it in this format:
“yourname - at - yourdomain.com” . . . this will prevent spammers from stealing your email address and innundating you with unwanted emails.

Please note: This does not guarantee that anyone will ever contact you. Lawyers are free to scan the postings to this page, and if they are interested in representing you, can contact you directly. This website doesn’t have the manpower to match people with lawyers, and there’s no money here for paying lawyers for you. Also please remember that most lawyers are not interested in doing pro-bono work. You will probably need to agree to some kind of payment obligation to get an attorney to work for you.
