HOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN TAKE YOUR CHILD


ABOVE: 
Jan. 24, 2013
Last week, more than two dozen SWAT team members descended on Silver Lake Regional Middle and High Schools, Massachusetts. Their weapons were drawn, but not loaded. They ran through the building, simulating their approach to a scenario in which a shooter or shooters were also inside. 


THE CHILDREN WERE NOT AWARE IT WAS A DRILL AND PARENTS HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED. WHEN CONFRONTED BY ANGRY PARENTS ...  

"We're looking for it to be as realistic as possible," explains Silver Lake Superintendent of Schools John Tuffy. "Most administrators say accept this as something that just has to happen."



ABOVE: ROSSFORD, Ohio; Aug.19, 2013 - 
A "training exercise" this past Wednesday morning left students literally hanging on to the edge of their seats.

The occupants of the bus were unaware of the details of the drill, for added terror and realism.

In the scenario: A school bus is en route to an event when suddenly it’s hijacked. 

"I didn't know what was going on, because at the start he was just a normal person and then he pulled out a gun and a mask, and put it all on," said teen Justin Klocko to ABC 13 News. "Then he started tying everybody down and it just got really scary."

The hijacker tied some of the students up and told them to keep their heads down. 

The bus eventually ended up at Owens Center for Emergency Preparedness. That’s where first responders and SWAT teams were ready to move in.

IF ANY PARENT DID THIS AT HOME AS A "TRAINING EXERCISE", DHS/HHS WOULD ARREST THAT PARENT FOR CHILD ABUSE AND TAKE THE CHILD!!!

PULL A GUN ON A CHILD?
TIE A CHILD UP?
CHILD ABUSE!
OR SO SAYS DHS/HHS IF A PARENT DOES THAT. 


Such a scenario REALLY happened in 1995 in Dade County, Florida and the REAL hijacker was shot and killed. 

OUR CHILDREN CAN BE AND HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO BE "EVACUATED" FROM THEIR SCHOOLS BY BUS TO UNDISCLOSED LOCATIONS WITHOUT PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT.
IT'S PART OF "FEMA PLANNING". 

ANY PARENT WHO MIGHT NEED TO PICK A CHILD UP FROM SCHOOL DURING THESE EVACUATIONS ARE DENIED, EVEN IN EMERGENCY CASES. 

OPERATION MOUNTAIN GUARDIAN
On September 23, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA conducted a disaster drill in Denver, Colorado that they called Operation Mountain Guardian.
The plan was all-inclusive and basically shut down the Denver metropolitan area including Denver international Airport, many malls, many schools and several other public venues including Sports Authority Field where the Denver Broncos play professional football.

As a part of the drill, several busloads of school children were taken to Sports Authority Field along with their teachers. 

Surrogate parents were hired by FEMA to attempt to pick up their children at the stadium. The training was apparently a desensitization exercise for security personnel designed to refuse demands to pick up their children from these “pretend” parents.

The real parents of these children were not notified that their children would be transported to the stadium and would be a part of this disaster drill.
 

Before a student is allowed to go on a field trip, teachers are required to send home  permission forms and these forms MUST be signed by a parent or guardian of the child and returned to the school.
NOT SO FOR THESE 'DRILLS'! 


In the latter part of the event, as some parents discovered that their children were likely transported to the stadium, some attempted to go there and get their children.
When they did so, at least initially, the children were not released to the parents. 

HOW WOULD A PARENT KNOW FOR CERTAIN IF THEIR CHILD WAS THERE OR SOMEWHERE ELSE? 
HOW ARE SUCH THINGS CONSTITUTIONAL? 

IT DOESN'T END WITH "TERRORIST DRILLS". 

THIS SCHOOL WAS TEACHING KIDS TO DROP TO A KNEELING POSITION WHEN AN 'ADMINISTRATOR'  BLEW A WHISTLE! 

"Some parents in San Bernardino County were furious after hearing that their children were being forced to kneel in front of elementary school administrators.

The Yucaipa Calimesa Unified School District has struck down the principal’s controversial policy, which several parents called un-American.

“I feel that the principal wants to be like a king, and we don’t have kings in America,” a mother told CBSLA.
The mom’s 7-year-old daughter was reportedly one of the kids at California’s Calimesa Elementary School who was forced to kneel.
“She says that she has to drop down on one knee with her hands at her side, wait for the principal to come out, lift his arms and tell them to go to class,” the mom said.

District superintendent Cali Binks described the policy as “positive behavior intervention,” but agreed to ban the practice."

NO, YOU CANNOT DECIDE WHAT YOUR CHILD EATS IN SEVERAL STATES

In Richmond, VA., school officials notified parents that they must turn in a doctor’s note if they want the right to send a brown bag lunch to school with their child.
If a parent does not want their child to eat the lunches served at school, they must pay to get the note from their doctor.  

In 2012 there were widespread reports that a North Carolina "state inspector" had forced a child to give up her packed lunch of a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice because the meal did not meet USDA guidelines; instead the child was forced to take the school lunch of ...chicken nuggets.



ALLOWING 12-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN TO DECIDE THEIR OWN HEALTH CARE?

On October 9th, 2011, California governor Brown signed AB 499 into law which provides that the Merck manufactured, Gardasil, designed to prevent cervical cancer, can be administered to children 12 years old and up without parental consent. 


Documents from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reveal that its National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has awarded $5,877,710 dollars to 49 victims in claims made against the highly controversial HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines. To date 200 claims have been filed with VICP, with barely half adjudicated.  
“This new information from the government shows that the serious safety concerns about the use of Gardasil have been well-founded."   

The facts appear to contradict the FDA’s safety statements. The adverse reaction reports detail 26 new deaths reported between September 1, 2010 and September 15, 2011 as well as incidents of seizures, paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems, short term memory loss and Guillain-Barré Syndrome. 

The documents come from the FDA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which is used by the FDA to monitor the safety of vaccines.

Separate from the FDA is the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Monthly Statistics Report.
It is updated monthly and one can see the successfully filed reports in PDF form at https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/data-statistics-report.pdf




THE ATLANTIC AND OTHER MAINSTREAM MEDIA DECRY THE $4 BILLION PAID FOR VACCINE INJURIES AND LABEL THOSE CLAIMS AS "A CONSPIRACY THEORY" OR "MISINFORMATION.  

OBVIOUSLY, THE COURT DOES NOT AGREE. 

NEITHER DO ENTIRE NATIONS WHERE GARDASIL IS BANNED.  

Spain now joins a growing list of countries where criminal lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of the HPV vaccine. That list of nations includes France, India, Japan, and many more.
In the United States, however, you cannot sue the manufacturers of vaccines, as they are protected from civil criminal prosecution. 
Almost 650 girls needed medical intervention after HPV vaccines in Ireland

The Health Products Regulatory Authority (in Ireland) has received 1,099 reports of adverse reactions and events associated with the use of the vaccine.


RELIGIOUS INDOCTRINATION WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT

Seventh grade students in Tennessee were forced to write, “Allah is the Only God,” as part of a social studies lesson.

The Truth:
This is mostly true.

Maury County Director of Schools Chris Marczak said in a statement that the Tennessee State Board of Education had included the curriculum in its curriculum standards, so the school had no choice but to include the lesson:

As part of a social studies lesson on Islam, seventh graders at Spring Hill Middle School in Tennessee learned about the Shanada, the first of five pillars of Muslim of Faith. 


The mother of one of the students protested when she saw that her daughter had been instructed to write, “Allah is the only God,” the Spring Hill Home Page reports:

Both the teacher and Principal Shanda Sparrow said students would not have to write the Shahada ...again.


Last month Maury County Public Schools middle school supervisor Jan Hanvey told The Daily Herald, a newspaper out of Columbia, Tenn., that students learn about the Five Pillars of Islam during a one-day segment of the seventh-grade curriculum.

Students also study Buddhism and Hinduism, the former social studies teacher noted.

However, at no point do Tennessee middle school students study Christianity per se. There is not, for example, one class day dedicated to the basic Jesus story.  

The Council on American-Islamic Relations' many lawsuits have inspired a grassroots campaign across Tennessee (and several other states) by parents against what they perceive as an inappropriate focus on Islam in history and social studies courses in taxpayer-funded middle schools.

Parents across Tennessee are taking on the state’s political and educational establishment, aiming to get rid of the recently implemented Islam-centric seventh grade Social Studies standards.


PARENTS MUST COUNTER-SUE TO STOP RELIGIOUS INDOCTRINATION OF THEIR CHILDREN?
IT'S THE "NEW NORM"...LAWSUITS TO PROTECT PARENTAL RIGHTS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO ARE TOO YOUNG TO RECOGNIZE INDOCTRINATION FROM "ONLY A HISTORY LESSON".

WHAT FEW MAY REALIZE IS THAT "CONVERSION" TO ISLAM IS AS SIMPLE AS REPEATING THE SHAHADA TWICE BEFORE TWO MUSLIM WITNESSES.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT THESE YOUNG STUDENTS, RECITING THE SHAHADA IN FRONT OF MUSLIM STUDENTS IN CLASS IS TRUE CONVERSION?
THAT DEPENDS ON WHOM WE ASK.


ANOTHER THING FEW REALIZE IS THAT, IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CAIR IS CONSIDERED A TERRORIST GROUP BY OTHER ARAB MUSLIMS.

In 2014, the United Arab Emirates officially designated 83 groups as terrorist organizations, including CAIR, which is the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group in the United States.


COLORADO SCHOOL FORCES SHARIA DRESS CODE ON FEMALE STUDENTS IN ORDER TO TAKE THEM TO A MOSQUE TO 'PRAY'

"Rocky Heights Middle School in Littleton, Colorado takes students to a Mosque each year and all female students must submit to the Muslim Sharia law dress code."    


SENT HOME WITH STUDENTS: 

"THERE IS A DRESS CODE FOR THIS TRIP: All students must wear appropriate long pants. Ankles must be covered. Girls must bring wide scarves or hooded sweatshirts for the mosque."
(MY NOTE: STUDENTS CAN OPT OUT OF THIS TRIP IF PARENTS SIGN FORMS.)

“Islam dictates many, I believe – personal belief – repressive practices against women and Islamophobia will trump womens’ rights. Animal rights every time, and the environmen,”
KNUS radio host Peter Boyles says. “That’s their belief – that’s wonderful. But don’t apply it to public school kids.”


Tennessee Elementary School Lifts 'Fatwa' Against Pork After Parents Complain
"Sunset Elementary School in Brentwood, Tenn. rescinded the ban on pork just one day after it went into effect because parents complained, reports Fox News Radio.
“Starting Monday, August 12, 2013 your child must provide their own snack from the above approved snack list,” the memo parents says. Those words are bold, underlined and in larger font."

APPROVED BY WHOM...THE STATE OR THE PARENTS?
WHOSE CHILDREN ARE THESE?

Former Marine Dad Banned from Daughter’s High School over “Islamic indoctrination” claims

It’s true that La Plata High School filed a no-trespass order against former Marine John Kevin Wood after he took issue with what he described as Islamic indoctrination in his daughter’s world history class.

School officials defended the curriculum and said the no-trespass order was filed because John Kevin Wood threatened to create a “disruption” at La Plata High School in Maryland.
The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a self-described national public interest firm that defends and promotes America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and moral values, is representing John Kevin Wood and his wife, Melissa, in a related court case.  

TMLC said that Wood discovered in October of 2014 that his daughter had been forced to “repeat religious tenets of Islam” and “write how the Prophet Muhammad was visited by the Angel Gabriel and preached that there is only one true god, who is Allah” as part of a world history homework assignment.

The vice principal indicated that his daughter, a high school junior with college hopes, would receive zeros on her assignments on Islam if she did not complete them. 

Wood asked how the religion of Islam could be taught when schools are prohibited from teaching the religion of Christianity.

The following day, October 24th, John Wood again spoke with the vice principal. She again refused to allow an alternative assignment.



IMAGINE THE OUTRAGE OF MUSLIM PARENTS IF THEIR CHILD WAS REQUIRED TO WRITE OR READ ALOUD THAT "JESUS CHRIST IS LORD", OR ANY SIMILAR CHRISTIAN TEXT, OR IF THEIR STUDENT WAS REQUIRED TO WEAR A YARMULKE TO VISIT A SYNAGOGUE. 


THE NEW NEGLECT DEFINITIONS

ARE YOU GUILTY OF CHILD NEGLECT?
WHAT IS CLASSIFIED AS CHILD ABUSE/NEGLECT TODAY MAY SHOCK YOU. 

The Fourth Amendment be damned, since January 1, 2014, Federal and/or state and county officials may enter your home without a warrant in order to “intervene” for the purpose of saving “high risk” children.

WHO DEFINES "HIGH RISK"?
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES!

According to Human Health Services, your family is eligible for this “intervention” in the following situations:

1. Families where mom is not yet 21.

2. Families where someone is a tobacco user.

3. Families where children have low student achievement, developmental delays, or disabilities.

4. Families with individuals who are serving or formerly served in the armed forces, including such families that have members of the armed forces who have had multiple deployments outside the United States.

5. Although this is not being widely reported, home-schoolers and their families can be targeted for “interventions”, as can families who object to childhood (under age 18) vaccines.

Florida Judge Rules ER Doctor Can’t Have Custody Of Child Due To COVID-19 Risk
A father has won temporary full custody of his daughter because of his ex-wife’s profession: She is an emergency room doctor working during the COVID-19 pandemic and, according to a Florida judge, risks infecting their child.

“We are there on the front lines, we are risking our lives — to take our children away from us is just so cruel,” said the mother, Dr. Theresa Greene.


In a story published by The New York Times, April 7, 2020, several parents spoke out about how ex-spouses are using COVID-19 to separate them from their children.

WHAT ABOUT GROCERY STORE WORKERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS?
ARE THEY NEXT?
THEY HAVE MULTIPLE CONTACTS EACH DAY AS "ESSENTIAL WORKERS".

WHO'S NEXT?
WHOSE CHILDREN ARE SAFE FROM BEING TAKEN FROM THEIR HOMES? 


HHS has designed a detailed 110-page policy manual which focuses on the criteria constituting the new definitions of child neglect. 

COPIED FROM PAGE 12 (page 14 as you scroll down):
DENIAL OF HEALTH CARE—the. failure. to. provide. or. to. allow. needed. care. as. recommended. by. a. competent.health.care.professional.for.a.physical. injury,.illness,.medical.condition,.or.impairment.. 

The. CAPTA. amendments. of. 1996. and. 2003. contained.no.Federal.requirement.for.a.parent.to. provide.any.medical.treatment.for.a.child.if.that. treatment.is.against.the.parent’s.religious.beliefs.. 

However,. CAPTA. also. designates. that. there. is.no.requirement.that.a. State.either.find.or.be. prohibited.from.finding.abuse.or.neglect.in.cases. where.parents.or.legal.guardians.act.in.accordance. with. their. religious. beliefs.

within.the.sole. discretion.of.each.State.
 (MY NOTE: THE PERIODS APPEARED WHEN I COPIED TE TEXT FROM THE MANUAL.)

SO, PARENTAL RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE NULL AND VOID...MOST LIKELY...UNLESS PARENTS TAKE THE CASE TO COURT AND WIN. 

READ THE PAGE NUMBERED 16 CAREFULLY.
PARENTS IN "BAD ENVIRONMENTAL NEIGHBORHOODS" MAY BE FOUND GUILTY OF "ENVIRONMENTAL NEGLECT".

THE CASES FOR "EMOTIONAL NEGLECT" SEEM TO BE BROADLY INTERPRETED.



THE MANUAL FOR CASE WORKERS     
Child Protective Services:A Guide for Caseworkers, goes into more depth on issues such as family assessment and case planning. 

249 pages of "interventions" if a case worker PERCEIVES that a child is "at risk".


ON PAGE 14 OF THAT MANUAL IS A DIAGRAM FOR HOW A CASEWORKER "PROCESSES" AN ALLEGED NEGLECT CASE.

THE THING THEY NEGLECT IS THAT NO TWO CASES ARE ALIKE/IDENTICAL, AND SHOULD NOT BE "PROCESSED" IN THE SAME WAY.

ON PAGE 25 ONE CAN SEE THE LEGISLATION TIMELINE THAT HAS GRADUALLY ERODED PARENTAL RIGHTS WHILE "PROTECTING" THE CHILD.
SEE: Exhibit 3.1 Major Federal Legislation Timeline



These and other such manuals can be read/downloaded at http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/usermanual.cfm. 


How many of us were ever grounded by our parents for misbehaving and perhaps not permitted to play outside with our friends?

This is now illegal per the HHS/CPS policy manual.
They label the treatment as neglect by isolation.

There are no time frames set forth which constitutes isolation and it is left to the field representative to determine. 


This obviously erodes parental discipline.   

IS YOUR CHILD FAILING IN SCHOOL?
IT'S YOUR FAULT!
If your child is judged to be underachieving in school, this is referred to as educational neglect and is worthy of governmental intervention.   


Further, if your child is absent for five days in any one month from school, the same allegation would be made against the parent. 

If your child has ADD or ADHD, you could be accused of neglect because the document details how this can somehow be caused by poor nutrition, although the variables associated with the cause are not specified. 

Parents who are gun owners and/or have any alcohol in the home may face allegations of neglect and subsequent “intervention.”

CPS states:
"The Office on Child Abuse and Neglect, within the Children’s Bureau of the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has developed the fourth edition of this manual in the User Manual Series to reflect the increased knowledge base and the evolving state of practice. 


Child Protective Services: A Guide for Caseworkers provides a comprehensive view of the child welfare process. 
This manual examines the roles and responsibilities of child protective services (CPS) workers, who are at the center of every community’s child protection efforts. 

It describes the laws and policies that govern child protection, the basic stages of the CPS process and the steps necessary to accomplish each stage, and the importance of supervision and worker safety and wellness."

"CPS, a division within state, tribal, and local social services, is at the center of every community’s child protection efforts. CPS agencies, along with law enforcement, play a central role in receiving and investigating reports of child maltreatment. 

The focus of CPS agencies is to determine if a child is safe and whether there is risk of future maltreatment." 

I FIND IT AMAZING THAT CASE WORKERS, MANY WITH ONLY A BACHELOR's DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK, SOME WHO AREN'T REQUIRED TO HAVE EVEN THAT, WHO ARE NOT TRAINED PSYCHOLOGISTS OR PSYCHIATRISTS, CAN DETERMINE MUCH OF ANYTHING IN ONLY ONE OR A FEW BRIEF HOME VISITS. 
THAT THEY CAN JUDGE FUTURE EVENTS SEEMS 100% LUDICROUS.


NO ACCESS TO YOUR CHILD'S MEDICAL RECORDS
Law to parents: No, you cannot have full access to your child's medical records.

"State and Federal law restricts parental access to certain medical information for minors age 12-17."


The HHS website that addresses frequently asked questions about HIPAA, a federal law, explains that a parent is generally a child's "personal representative," which means a parent has access to their child's medical records, but if a state law provides otherwise, the state law governs. 
If the state law is silent, "the licensed health care provider may exercise his or her professional judgment to the extent allowed by law to grant or deny parental access to the minor’s medical information."
In addition, a medical provider may choose not to treat a parent as a personal representative when the provider reasonably believes, in his or her professional judgment, that the child has been or may be subjected to domestic violence, abuse or neglect, or that treating the parent as the child’s personal representative could endanger the child.
According to the Guttmacher Institute's publication The HIPAA Privacy Rule and Adolescents: Legal Questions and Clinical Challenges, "Every state has laws that allow minors to give their own consent for some kinds of health care—including emergency, general health, contraceptive, pregnancy-related, HIV or other STD, substance abuse and mental health care."


The law states that he/she cannot drive, vote or drink alcohol and that parents are legally responsible for their child, but they are barred from medical records.
WHO KNEW?
WHO DECIDED THIS?

AND YOU THOUGHT YOUR CHILDREN WERE YOUR CHILDREN....NOT ANYMORE.



LIFE OR DEATH...NO LONGER A PARENT'S DECISION  

04/25/2018 
Who decides whether your sick child lives or dies? You or the hospital?

The parents of 23-month-old Alfie Evans, who had extensive brain damage, were told their son's life would be terminated by hospital staff. That night, the hospital turned off his ventilator. The hospital decreed "once all external signs of life have ceased," doctors would confirm "that death has occurred." 
Many hours passed, and Alfie clung tenuously to life.

Alfie isn't the first child sentenced to die by a British hospital. Last year it happened to 11-month-old Charlie Gard, and more recently to a toddler named Isaiah Haastrup.

Can it happen in the U. S.? 

You bet. 
It depends on what state you live in.

Texas law gives life-and-death powers to hospitals, never mind what families want.

In most states, including New York, families are likely to win if they go to court to stop a hospital from pulling the plug. 

Unfortunately, they don't know that and get steamrolled by hospital staff. Later they may regret they didn't hold out for more time with their child or for a rare, unexpected improvement.

In other states, laws favor parents willing to go to court. 

Jahi McMath, a teenager, was declared brain dead by a California hospital ready to stop life support. But Jahi's mother won the right to take her daughter home, where she is still living four years later on a ventilator.

Hospitals claim ending life support is in the child's "best interest." Don't believe it. Oxford University ethics professor Julian Savulescu says there are few conditions painful enough to contemplate ending a child's life. He cites epidermolysis bullosa, where a baby's skin peels off relentlessly, causing extreme, unrelenting pain, infection and death within a year. But Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans, Jahi McMath and the other children denied care weren't in pain.

Cost is why many hospitals pull the plug, says Savulescu. They should be honest about it. Instead, hospitals stick to their phony argument about protecting the child's "best interests."

They refuse to say more, hiding behind claims they're protecting patient privacy. As if it's OK to end a child's life but not to publicly disclose the child's condition.

Hospitals need to back off their authoritarian "we know best" posture, and show respect for parents.



A CHILD'S RIGHT TO DIE?

AS I WROTE IN MAY, 2016, UNICEF, A UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION, WANTS EUTHANASIA OF CHILDREN TO BE ALLOWED, "SAME AS FOR ADULTS", BUT SUGGESTS THERE NEED NOT BE A "TERMINAL ILLNESS" INVOLVED, AND THAT EUTHANASIA FOR THE MENTALLY ILL SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED.

THEY CALL IT "DEATH WITH DIGNITY".

"DIGNITY"?
WHAT DIGNITY IS THERE IN KILLING AN INFANT WHO CAN'T EVEN RUN AWAY FROM THOSE WHO WANT TO KILL HIM, WHO CAN'T EVEN CRY OUT, "PLEASE, DON'T!" ?


THE U.S. GETS INVOLVED IN "EUTHANIZING" THE MENTALLY ILL...

Wesley J. Smith, a bioethicist and senior fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism. said that in California a person committed to a state psychiatric hospital can petition to be released for assisted suicide. He sees it as an example where the extension of assisted suicide to the mentally ill makes no sense.

“You have people who are certifiably mentally ill,” Smith said, “to the point where they’re involuntarily hospitalized, having access to euthanasia.”  

PAD [physician-assisted suicide] is permissible in Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Vermont, plus the District of Columbia.

“PAD is only lawful in those five states if the legal drugs are prescribed by a physician in accordance with all the safeguards,” he said, adding that about 20 states are considering PAD laws.PAD FOR THE MENTALLY ILL... "The people whom modern science can’t help.”


“Once society broadly accepts the agenda of killing as an acceptable end to human suffering,” said Smith, who is a consultant to the Patients Rights Council. “We eliminate suffering by eliminating the sufferers.”    


THE COURTS CAN KILL YOUR CHILD

It's already established by legal precedent.
In the UK and all over Europe, the wishes of parents have been over-ridden and struck down time and rime again.

Doctors vs. Parents: Who Decides Right to Life?     
Lopez and Murray say that doctors and hospital staff began pressuring them to withhold treatment and feeding, which would ultimately starve Sabrina to death. To the parents, this was unacceptable. They wanted their daughter to live.

Calif. judge: Brain-dead teen can be taken off life support
             
The judge sided with the hospital today after hearing from two doctors, but has given the teen's family until 5 p.m. Dec. 30 to file an appeal. She will stay on life support until then.Children's Hospital of Oakland filed court papers late Monday asking that the girl be taken off life support after doctors there also concluded she was brain dead.
Her family wants to keep the 13-year-old connected to a breathing machine and has asked for another opinion on her condition.



The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services
By Nancy Schaefer
Georgia State Senate, 50th District
revised September 25, 2008

Throughout this case and through the process of dealing with multiple other mismanaged cases of the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS), I have worked with other desperate parents across the state of Georgia and in many other States because their children were taken for no cause and they have no one with whom to turn. I have witnessed ruthless behavior from many caseworkers, social workers, investigators, lawyers, judges, therapists, and others such as those who “pick up” the children. I have been stunned by what I have seen and heard from victims all across this land.

The Department of Child Protective Services, known as the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in Georgia and other titles in other states, has become a “protected empire” built on taking children and separating families. This is not to say that there are not those children who do need to be removed from wretched situations and need protection.

However, this report is concerned with the children and parents caught up in “legal kidnapping,” ineffective policies, and an agency that on certain occasions would not remove a child (or children) when the child was enduring torment and abuse.

Having worked with probably 300 cases statewide, and now hundreds and hundreds across this nation and in nearly every state, I am convinced there is no responsibility and no accountability in the Child Protective Services system."


EVERY PARENT WOULD BE WISE TO CONSIDER ALL OF THIS.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRASTICALLY IN AMERICA AS REGARDS PARENTAL RIGHTS.

WHEN ONE DIGS IN AND LOOKS AT THESE CHANGES, IT IS APPARENT THAT, FOR ALL INTENT AND PURPOSE, IF IT CHOOSES TO, THE STATE OWNS OUR CHILDREN.

ALL IT TAKES IS BEING JUDGED GUILTY OF ONE 'CRIME' ON THE LONG, LONG LIST OF "PARENTAL NEGLECT" AND WE CAN LOSE OUR CHILDREN TO A DANGEROUS, AND, IN THE OPINION OF MANY, A CORRUPT SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT PUT THE CHILD FIRST. 


Has Child Protective Services Gone Too Far?

A BETTER QUESTION IS, "HAVE WE ALLOWED THE STATE TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR CHILDREN AND GIVEN UP PARENTAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO REAR THEM ACCORDING TO OUR BELIEFS AND WITH 'SOUND MINDS'?"

IT LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER IS YES


Child-neglect statutes, says Martin Guggenheim, a New York University law professor and co-director of the school’s Family Defense Clinic, tend to be extremely vague, giving enormous discretion to social workers. 

“The reason we’ve tolerated the level of impreciseness in these laws for decades,” he notes, “is that they tend to be employed almost exclusively in poor communities—communities that are already highly regulated and overseen by low-level bureaucrats..."

“I think of mothers who lost custody of their children because the mothers themselves had been subjected to domestic abuse,"  said Peggy Cooper Davis, an NYU law professor and former Family Court judge.

In the majority of cases in which kids are taken from their families, the grounds are neglect, not physical abuse (though, as Elizabeth Bartholet, a Harvard Law professor and faculty director of the school’s Child Advocacy Program, points out, sometimes physical abuse is suspected, but only neglect can be proved).


As of 2013, 18 states and Puerto Rico require anyone who suspects child abuse to report it. In most states, there are criminal penalties for those who have reason to believe abuse is taking place but say nothing—and those who make abuse claims that turn out to be unfounded generally have immunity.

There’s broad agreement that people who witness a child being hurt should report it.


A neighbor reported Jessica Carter after seeing her run downstairs to collect her mail while her son napped in his crib.

A white woman married to a Puerto Rican man, Carter was a mother of two at the time.
Carter’s son was asleep when the CPS worker arrived, and his bedroom door was closed.

This, the worker warned Carter, was unacceptable. 

The worker “told me that CPS’s stance is that I should have eyes on the child at all times,” Carter says. When she objected, saying that this would be impossible, the CPS worker accused her of failing to take matters seriously. 
“I was terrified I was going to lose my children,” Carter recalls.  

The charges against Carter were ultimately dismissed as unfounded. Even so, when she got her certified nursing assistant’s license, she had to alert the licensing board that she’d been investigated for child neglect.

Marcia Robinson Lowry who supports government intervention, stated that the problem with most child-welfare systems isn’t that they’re overzealous, but that they’re incompetent.
“I used to think it leaned one way or the other,” she says. “Now I just think it’s not well run. The decision-making is not careful, and there’s no sense of urgency in getting children back to families or, if they need it, into new families.”

“You do have to very often wonder how it can be that you have children who would be perfectly safe at home—all they needed was the heater to be fixed, or the mother to have childcare—and then those children are traumatized for life by being placed in foster care. And you wonder how that can happen at the same time that a social worker can be well aware that a child is being starved at home and do nothing.”   


[There are] cases of migrant farm workers, coming to America from a culture that doesn't see it as neglect to, say, leave older children in charge of younger ones, but, accused of neglect here, are ordered to comply with “services,” such as parenting classes, for which they have no transportation.
They have to make a choice: "Do I lose a day’s pay and then not be able to pay my rent and buy food’”—which can also be grounds for child removal—“‘or do I refuse to go and do this ‘service’ that will take all day for a two-hour parenting class?"

AND  
When Can Parental Rights Be Terminated?




Constitutional Rights Of Unwed Fathers

While the rights of unwed fathers are limited, many fathers have used the Fourteenth Amendment to challenge the termination of their parental rights when the birth mothers relinquish their children for adoption.

"Every father has a constitutional right to be an active and integral part of his children’s lives. This right is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and is a “Fundamental Right” that may be interfered with only in limited circumstances."

States have almost complete discretion to determine the rights of a putative father at termination of parental rights or adoption proceedings.

Who is A Father?

The statutory definition of a father in most jurisdictions are: men who are listed as the father of a child on a birth certificate, a man living with the mother of the child and presents himself as the father of that child, a man who the courts have determined is the father of the child through paternity tests, a man who is referenced in an affidavit by the mother indicating that he is the child's father; and a man who has filed for paternity in a court of law.


REMOVING YOUR CHILD FROM "STATE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES", i.e., SCHOOLS

IT CAN BE DONE, BUT NOT EASILY IN MOST STATES.
Here are a few steps you may need to follow in order to legally withdraw your child from public school:

1. Be Mindful of Compulsory Education Laws.
One of the major reasons that you need to give notice to the state and local government that you are removing your child from public school is that all states have some form of compulsory education or truancy laws. This can become a problem if children are homeschooled without first going through the required legal channels.

Many states require that children be compelled to attend some form of schooling from age 6 to age 18.

2. Send a Withdrawal Notice to Your Child's School.
Although many states do not require you notify a local school district of your intent to homeschool a child who has never attended public school, in order to avoid truancy charges, you'll likely need to inform the school that he/she would normally attend.

States like Texas, for example, may only require that you send a withdrawal letter (via certified mail) to the school, stating that you will be withdrawing him or her at a certain time and will begin homeschooling.

Other states may require proof of attendance in a private or satellite school program, but you still need to give the child's current school a heads-up.

3. Qualify Your Homeschool as a Private School.
Some states may make it legally opportune to register your individual homeschool as a private school in order to withdraw your child. For example, in California, as long as homeschool teachers notify the state that they will maintain a student's attendance records and offer instruction "in the several branches of study required to be taught in the public schools," your homeschool may be considered a private school.

THERE IS HOPE THAT THE CURRENT PANDEMIC HAS DEMONSTRATED JUST HOW WELL SCHOOLING A CHILD AT HOME WORKS OUT.
MAYBE, AFTER THIS, PARENTS WHO CHOOSE TO HOMESCHOOL WON'T BE SO VILIFIED IN THE PRESS AND BY SOCIETY IN GENERAL.



NO MATTER WHETHER IT IS AS SIMPLE A CHOICE AS CHOOSING YOUR CHILD'S CLOTHING, WHAT YOU FEED THEM, IF THEY SHOULD DO HOMEWORK RATHER THAN GO OUT TO PLAY OR SOMETHING AS MAJOR AS LIFE OR DEATH DECISIONS, IN AMERICA AND ACROSS THE GLOBE, IT IS APPARENT THAT THE STATE IS DETERMINED TO "OWN OUR CHILDREN".
