There’s nothing like having your family destroyed by bureaucrats to wake you up to the fact that there’s something terribly wrong with America, that there’s no real “liberty and justice for all,” and that much of the patriotism that was hard-boiled into us by public schools may be misplaced loyalty. I’m sure most of us love our country and still believe our Constitution was a great beginning for the USA, but now, after being victimized, traumatized, and stigmatized by the government we loved and trusted, do you still think America is the best nation in the world to live in?

I’m sure some will think that we’re still so lucky because we have “freedom of speech” … unless perhaps you’ve tried to tell a juvenile court judge your side of the story and been told to be quiet. When you’re not even allowed to defend yourself against government agents who lie, is there any real freedom of speech? Is there any justice left in this country?

I’d like to know your opinions.

As for me, my heart is broken. I thought I lived in a decent country but after twenty years of reading and listening to traumatized parents and children, after learning that children are being systematically poisoned with pharmaceuticals in foster care, after finding out all the dirty tricks social workers use to falsely accuse and persecute families, I can no longer believe that America is such a great place.

Our federal legislators don’t help change the laws. I hope every one of them is voted out of office save perhaps for Ron Paul, and I’m not sure about him. My trust has been shattered. Every one of those scoundrels that didn’t do a thing to help families harmed by CPS should be ousted. But I doubt it will happen. Most Americans are too fluoridated and dumbed down to even realize there’s a problem. If you tell them what’s wrong with this country, they’re instantly in a state of denial. They can’t deal with that information.

My heart aches severely for all the innocents in foreign countries that are being harmed by American soldiers overseas. The killings and maimings of children and other innocents in Afghanistan and Iraq weigh heavily on my heart. For many years people in Middle Eastern countries reviled and hated Americans. Now I’ve come to understand they were right. This country is horribly corrupt. I’m not sure if it is *hopelessly* corrupt but honestly, I don’t see much hope. I’m ashamed to be part of a country that kills children overseas. And that’s got me in a panic. I hope those people know that we’re not all in favor of these insane wars. Yet I know they must think we’re all responsible because we do so little to try to make them stop. Americans are so fluoridated, all they want to do is watch sitcoms on TV, go shopping for hot fashions, read about celebrities, and watch football games. Meanwhile our country now is into torture and child kidnapping under color of law.

So tell me – is the USA still the best country in the world?

Was it ever?

Received today from Greg Smart:

Hi everyone,

I want to find people who can join me in a peaceful demonstration in front of the Court of Appeals on Wed 2.25,09 at 7:45am – we need to be there before the judges get there.

I would even go so far as to ask you folks to demonstrate with me on Thurs, and Fri as well of that week to make our point clear.

Please inform others who would be interested.

I ask that anyone willing to do this, bring their own signs and confirm by emailing me back, as I need to know how many if any will show up. Email: cpsvictim@gmail.com

The address is 925 N. Spurgeon street, Santa Ana 92701,The courthouse looks like a big house, the street is easy to miss. When you goon Santa Ana Blvd. it is only about 0.7 miles (check mapquest), and if you hit Main street, you have gone too far. Turn right on Spurgeon and it is on the right hand side – looks like a house with a flag. The judges will have to see us because there is no other access to the bldg.

I suggest signs that refer to parental rights, such as:

“Parental rights termination in CA are unconstitutional”

“We will take this up to the US supreme court”

“let our children go”

“DCFS are crooked”

“Dependency proceedings are a joke”

“The Courts are affirming the kidnapping”

etc.

Thanks for you help.

I know several of you have important petitions out there now and I hope you’ll mention them (with links) in the comments to this post. Here’s one I found out about in email tonight. This one is from the Wheatons – the couple organizing a class action lawsuit. – ljm

This is the first paragraph of a lengthy statement of facts. Please read and sign the petition: Class Action Lawsuit Against CPS and DPSS / DFS / HRS For Kidnapping Babies To Sell.

.

This is from activists who are planning a CPS/DPSS class action lawsuit against Riverside County and the State of California for kidnapping children without cause:

We are organizing a class action lawsuit against the State of California, and all parties involved in unlawfully detaining and holding our children against our will, and without cause. We have documented the deep, embedded corruption in the “social services” agencies in California, specifically in Riverside County, conspiring with hospitals, schools, pediatricians and the court system to take possession of our children, without cause. We have already filed three lawsuits, and are looking for other families who have also been annihilated by this Evil. For information about the class action lawsuit, email us with your facts and contact information to build a strong case against these Devils. IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY CPS, EMAIL US AT fightcpscalifornia -at- gmail.com.

These are the reasons you should be part of this lawsuit:

· CPS manufactures multiple nonexistent/fictitious abuse case scenarios to offset true statistical abuse case information.

· CPS concurrently processes these children from foster care to Adoption, in order to obtain perverse monetary incentives in the form of bonuses.

· CPS provides a market to neighboring agencies and the courts (Judges, psychologists, visitation monitors, court mandated behavioral class instructors, court appointed legal counsel, etc…), in order for them to financially benefit from the foster care/adoption system they themselves perpetuate.

· CPS victimizes innocent families, and draws them into a corrupt system to utilize their children as pawns for this corrupt child commerce.

· CPS is utilized by family court officials and attorneys as an adverse tool to extricate children from one parent to the other, with reference to “parental alienation syndrome,” where in truth, the CPS caseworkers are the ones initiating the alienation of these children from their own birth parents. Caseworkers are never allowed to testify in court under the cloak of “CPS Authority” due to possible misuse or conflict of interest related to right to privacy laws (Very convenient)

· CPS utilizes unlawful & coercive measures to persuade vulnerable parents to submit to statements of nonexistent abuse and false “Case Plans,” forcing desperate parents to “plea bargain” to a CPS fabricated crime, for the return of their children from foster care.

· CPS fabricates false allegations and most of their “investigations” to purposely mislead or misdirect a case.

· CPS intentionally fails to Criminally prosecute Parents accused of child abuse, since in the majority of cases, no initial crime has been committed. However, CPS continues to claim a crime has been committed, as THEY abuse/neglect our children.

· CPS knowingly abandons children into the foster care system, conscious that some individuals in these homes physically and/or sexually abuse those in their “protective” custody. CPS ignores crimes committed in foster care through failure to investigate.

· CPS fails to question these individuals for their abusive conduct, whereby, if it were a birth parent or not a foster care parent, these individuals would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in criminal court.

· CPS misrepresents themselves in positive personas by omitting, altering, and falsifying documents, so as to mislead the public and or government of their true actions as listed above. Thereby publicly grandstanding,displaying an inaccurate social martyrdom for the well being of children.

The Police should determine if children need protection from their own parents, since child abuse is a Criminal offense.

We dearly know, from our own personal case, the trauma and distress this thwarted government agency imposes (with no consequence) upon innocent families. In January 2008 the law office of Robert Powell won its appeal to the California 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The case set a precedent by finding that CPS social workers are NOT entitled to absolute immunity for investigator conduct – particularly when they fabricate evidence, misrepresent evidence, and withhold exculpatory evidence. IF YOU FEEL THAT ANY OF THIS APPLIES TO YOUR FAMILY, email us at fightcpscalifornia -at- gmail.com. You can make a difference. Now is the time for action.

Note: This is intended for California residents only. Victims in other states can organize their own class action lawsuits.

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.
