Are they taking the children because parents
are hurting their babies? Frequently their babies are being removed
because the caseworker worker thinks they MIGHT. No longer does there have to be proof of wrongdoing. Stories like this are kept from
the general public as child after child is torn from families while
officials applaud themselves as public heroes.
There is an entire population of individuals affected by
family law and courts around the nation. As long as we are disconnected
from each other, their methods can continue to thrive with few
hindrances. It is becoming increasingly clear that division makes our
ability to force Constitutional law oaths by our elected officials null
and void. The issues are complex and the lack of trust is born from
years of government interference in the family and the ensuing actions
used to keep us all off balance. We need to overcome those obstacles by
focusing on a common goal - that of achieving family preservation and
cohesive relationships that benefit most or all parties. Children are
best suited for their own families, but where that is not possible,
support must be given to those who open up their homes and lives, loving
those who would not have love and safety otherwise.
Warning to those who
seek help because of a wayward teen:
If a
parent or grandparent
find themselves in a position where they have a child out of control in
the
home, DON'T CALL CPS!
All family services will be documented and could possibly bite you in
the butt
later. Even the number of times a person calls in can be used against
them in a
later court case.
Based on a true story:Suppose you
have a daughter who is on
drugs
and causing quite a bit of chaos. Desperation sets in as you realize you
can't
control her behaviors. Looking at all the options, you consider calling CPS
or the court and you do so.
The
intake person tells
you that the first thing they do is offer in-home family counseling so
you
agree to that.They send a contracted
person out who has more problems than you do. After establishing a
relationship
with the family, the counselor drops out because of personal problems.
CPS
sends a few people out, none of which connect and they do not attempt to
rectify the loss of the other counselor.You call a couple of other times, then decide that CPS
does not have their act together and has nothing to offer you, so you
decide to
do something else.
This
gets documented as a
refusal for services or a drop out of services. Not only that, any
disclosures
on the side of children or adults gets documented and can be used
against you
later.
Suppose
this same
daughter, or even a different one, gets pregnant and you want to do a
third
party custody or relative placement/guardianship. Guess what? All that
great help you got will then become a part of the home study and you
will
get
denied saying that if you couldn't control one child, what makes you
think you
can control this one? And they will put on paper that the child's drug
problems
are your entire fault. You will be lucky if you ever see the grandchild
again.
Asking CPS
for help is the equivalent of asking a demon for mercy. Don't do it.
This would
be considered a therapeutic relationship under those circumstances.Would you pay a therapist who would turn on
you and use information against you? Hardly! But that violation is paid
for by
you with tax dollars.
Calling CPS
on your daughter or son who has child raising difficulties is handled
the same
way. They will use the fact that you called them to create schisms
between you
and the parents. They will especially utilize this method if, as an
extended
family member, you object to the railroading of the children into
adoption.
One of
the concerns that leads family to call CPS is the
liability of the wayward teen inflicting havoc upon the community and
the
constant barrage of court fines that can add up to thousands. Then there
is
domestic violence and property damage that so often happens with an
addicted
criminally minded teen. The family may be interested in a CHINS petition
(children in need of services) or some other court empowered handcuff
on the
child. There may be no other alternative when things get to this point.
The clincher is, the child can refuse drug
and alcohol treatment thanks to some activists UNLESS you can prove they
are an
endangerment to self and others, and then involuntary commitment becomes
a
possibility.
TEENS! Don't lie or
exaggerate about abuse or neglect in your family. If you get removed and
placed in foster care then want to take back what you said, you will
not be able to. The system will refuse to believe you. In one case, a
daughter lied and said that she was choked. This resulted in job loss,
possible home loss, her family's reputation ruined and she can't go back
to her mom. Her guilt is now draped over her like a wet blanket and she
destroyed her family for life. Teens are doing this to their parents
all over the country while mad and out of control not wanting
discipline. Now her parents are on an abuse register and can't work in
their field.
EXTENDED FAMILIES WANTING CUSTODY
Laws are changing to reflect new values and trends that don't necessarily represent
society as a whole, but for those who lobby for their special interests. Recent
developments in litigation suggests that the courts believe blood relatives may
not be in the best interest of the child and states are handing over children
left and right to strangers.
The American Law Institute's Principles of Family Dissolution see
non-parents who have lived with and cared for a child as de facto parents
and often encourages custody reside with them. The new trends produce dangerous
grounds for blood relatives that assume they have priority with children. The
four principles that govern whether a non-parent qualifies as a De Facto Parent
is as follows:
1. the natural or legal parent consented to and fostered the parent-like relationship 2. the petitioner and the child lived in the same household 3. the petitioner assumed obligations of parenthood without expectations of compensation 4. the petitioner has been in a parental role for a sufficient amount of time to have established with the child a bonded, depended relationship parental in nature
If
a non-parent meets the above criteria, legal action to document this is
suggested especially if other means are being thwarted by the CPS
staff. This should be done within the first six months of removal if
extended
family wants to go the De Facto parenting route.
