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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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.

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.

I think vitamin D absorption is tied in with calcium and fat. More information would be needed on this.
Vitamin D levels are related to the pH of the body. Cary Reams, a biophysicist, noted that an alkaline urine would indicate more vitamin D and an acid urine would indicate more vitamin C. The pH reading of the saliva would give more information also. 6.4 would be regarded as neutral for the urine and saliva. For some test strips an adjustment has to be made when measuring body fluids.

This link shows that children in the UK were removed from their parents with an accusation of abuse relating to bone fractures. Doctors later discovered that the child had scurvey due to a soy baby milk formula prescribed by the doctor. Soy formula is generally fortified with vitamin D. This indicates a lack of balance somehow between vitamins D and C.
There is also research on blood type and diet. For example, Type A tends toward vegatables whereas Type O tends toward meat. Something like this would explain differences in the effects of diet.
Another factor to consider is steroid medications. Some time back I did extensive research on prednisone and other steroid medications, which can cause bone loss leading to a need for hip replacement. Using prednisone for one week can cause this in some people.
In previous years oral prednisone was given for asthma in children, but this caused bone loss, That is why these steroid medications now are given using inhalers, etc. Over-the-counter steroid creams like hydrocortisone can be very dangerous. They should not be used freely with children, for poison ivy for example.
All this is documented on the FDA website. Bone doctors and osteopedic associations report patterns of problems. These meds cause “necrosis” or bone death because of reverse osmosis. Astronauts experience this phenomenon,
The names change as you go along. These steroid-induced diseases are called such things as “corticosteroid-induced-osteoporosus.” Fosamax bone replacement medicine is used to replace bone loss in people who have experienced osteoporosis due to steroid medications. These steroids are used for things such as Lupus, MS, etc.
Sometimes you will see medications advertised as “non-steroidal.” This shows that medicines have been developed as a result of side-effects of steroid medications.

I guess this is the new witch-hunting, going after vegan parents.
If I were to have children now, here in the US, I would be very afraid of how I could raise them without them being forced to be exposed to not just the now-acceptable amount of violence in TV and movies, but also the overwhelming number of mandatory vaccines and the onslaught of pollution in our food air and water supplies.
As a person who *has* lupus, and is constantly bombarded with people’s theories and ridiculous ideas about why I’m sick (it scares people to know these “things” are out there, so they make up quick rationaliztions and judgments so they can psychologically protect themselves from the fact that it’s likely a serious illness will befall them or someone they know if they live in an industrialized nation), I am tired of everyone blaming autoimmune diseases on genetics. that is as preposterous as blaming Rickets on being vegan.
autoimmune diseases have tripled in the last 3 decades. in industrialized nations only. it is lifestyle that is triggering these things. toxic overload. i’ve found i can greatly improve my odds of doing well and surviving longer than expected by detoxing and eating naturally, but i can’t yet seem to shake the lupus completely now that it’s out of the bag.
anyhow if i had kids and wanted to be vegan, i would be totally secretive about it, because of this ridiculous ignorant attitude about it.
