The Media & Their Influence In Shaping Our Perspectives

January 16, 2010


Ok,  today I’m going to talk about the MEDIA and their coverage of Child Protection Services (CPS) cases,  or lack there of.  There seems to be a complete BLACKOUT of news coverage on what is really going on with the millions of  children who are being abducted  by the US Government each year.  I know, you say - well, there’s privacy issues that are of concern to  Child “Protection” agencies, who claim to be protect the anonymity of abused children; using the term ‘Confidentiality . But are they?  Why is it okay for these same agencies to exploit millions of children by placing their names and pictures all over the internet, yet operate in strict “secrecy” during the process of removal?  These same children who’s previous identities were concealed can be found at various adoption websites, listed in the ’For Sale’ section in ads that are being done by  the very agency who claims to be ‘protecting’ children. So, the question is - who are they really protecting? 


The current system that is being utilized to obtain children is veiled in “secrecy“, and even the media is not allowed to attend these “secret” hearings. Child Protection agencies claim that they are removing abused children, yet most of  these “secret” hearings are held in “Civil” Court rather than in “Criminal” Court. This protects the real criminals who are trafficking children, and since there is no media coverage the public never learns the truth.  


Did you know that Social Services has a ‘Media’ Department and Social Workers are embedded within the  media to write opinion biased stories? That’s right, so whenever there is a true case of child abuse the Media is contacted to run the story - over and over and over … until we become indoctrinated enough to believe that we should be taxed more money for the sake of combating child abuse.  This conditioning persuades people to vote in certain bills to increase Federal funding to Child Welfare agencies who are money laundering, and this is done all being done under the ‘guise’ of protecting children.  Worse yet, is despite the fact that we have TRILLIONS of dollars going into child protection, more than half of all child deaths occur AFTER they are removed by Child “Protection” Services. But you won‘t hear these stories or the real statistics from the media. They won’t tell you that 7 out of 10 children who are placed into foster care are  abused, molested, or even killed, or that  80% of our prison population are former foster kids. They don‘t tell you about the over drugging of  children who are in the system and that 2/3 of foster children  are being placed on  psychotropic drugs. Not will they tell you  about the kickbacks they are receiving from “Big Pharma“.  Instead, the media shares heartwarming stories and encourages people to foster a child or to adopt, and foster parents are given monetary 'incentives'. Advertising campaign slogans, like this one at Adopt Us Kids states: “you don’t have to be a perfect parent to adopt a kid, there are plenty of teenagers who will put up with you”, are sure to attract  less than ‘quality’ foster parents. Yet, CPS would rather adopt out children than to  return them to their biological  families because trafficking children is very profitable. The adoption frenzy is driven by supply and demand, and the more people adopt, the greater the demand  for ‘merchandise’.  In order to meet the needs for the adoption “industry” and others Child Protection Service agencies must obtain more Children - and they use the media to do it. 

Many parents have proof that their children were kidnapped by the Government yet these stories go unheard.  But if a child were kidnapped by a stranger there would be media hype: “Amber Alerts”, parents crying on TV, newspaper articles,  and milk cartons depicting a picture of the missing child. When the Government does it you won’t a peep out of the media … Shhhhh 

The media doesn’t mention that most of the children who are removed by CPS are not abused or neglected, oh no, those cases rarely get coverage.  In fact, the media hangs up on parents who attempt to share their stories and they ignore proof that is mailed to them.  So who are these people that mold our opinions and why the big Cover up? Well, let’s take look at the people who control the media. We have a small number of  corporations that control all of the world’s opinions and shape our beliefs. This mental engineering is mostly owned by Zionists who also happen to have their hands in the Political arena and the very profitable Drug industry.  It is this stereotyping  and exploitation of children that is influencing our thoughts and beliefs, not the reality of what is actually occurring in America. There is no power greater in the world today than the  great manipulators of public opinion and unfortunately taxpayers continue to fall for the fraud that is draining our economy and ripping good families apart.

Taking Liberties - Former Social Worker Report

A former caseworker for the child protection agency in NY describes how the agency really works


She thought she was hired to protect children. But instead, a city child abuse investigator discovered that betraying her clients was part of her job description. Tales from a year inside the Administration for Children's Services.

Emergency Children's Services is an inconspicuous, dingy building at the southern edge of Soho. About 30 to 40 kids come here each night, after they are taken away from their parents and while they're waiting for a foster home to take them in. When they get here, they cry, fight or sit silently on a stained couch, eyes glazed over. As an investigator for the New York City Administration for Children's Services, I spent many nights here.When children first arrive at ECS they are taken through a metal detector by security. Some carry garbage bags containing their clothes; others tightly clutch just the one item they brought from home. Each is accompanied by an ACS child protective caseworker, who is given a number and waits to be called to check the kids in. On a busy night, of which there are many, this can take hours.

In the waiting room, some tattered old books and the odd toy lie about. A green banner hangs year round saying, "Seasons Greetings From Pre-Placement" and does little to conceal the cracking paint. The children hungrily eye a vending machine in the corner and beg their caseworkers for candy. And the caseworkers say, No way.

Some of these kids, who range from newborn babies to 17-year-olds, have been rescued from seriously abusive or neglectful parents. Others are here for reasons that are ambiguous, unjustified, even arbitrary. But they all come to the same dim room on Laight Street. And because the city's Administration for Children's Services has identified them as children in danger, this is the first of many unfamiliar places they'll be seeing as they journey through the city's foster care system.

Like me, the other caseworkers here are exhausted. Most of them are on the phone or stare up at the television hung from the wall. It is not part of the job to comfort the children just plucked from their homes. They are irritated and want to get home.

When I first started coming to ECS, I tried to reach out to all the children who were crying or sitting alone, shocked and terrified. It was easier with the little ones, because I could hug them and they would immediately respond. But the older ones were different. I asked them, "Do you know why you are here?" Chances were that they had only a vague idea; ACS investigators often do not tell the children they are removing exactly what is going on. Most of the time the kids shrugged and said, "I don't know." Or they knew pieces, like, "Because mommy didn't clean the house." Often it was, "Because mommy got arrested."
The more I ended up at ECS, the harder it became to comfort these children. When you had no idea where a child was going to end up that night, it was impossible to assure them of anything. When a child asks, "Am I going to get split up from my little brother?" you can't say no. Although all efforts are supposed to be made to place siblings together, there are countless exceptions. Instead you have to say, "Let's hope not, okay?"

One night I was at ECS with a 3-year-old named Christopher, whom I had picked up from a precinct in East Harlem. His mother was arrested that day on drug charges. He had been living in a crack house, according to the police who took him, and his arms and legs were caked with dirt. All he had with him was a pacifier and a scarf. I pulled the pacifier out of his mouth and asked him, "Are you going to talk to me?" He looked at me and said, "Fuck off." Other than this, he didn't speak.
In the waiting room he pulled a chair out from under a girl his age as she went to sit down. After she fell, crying, he jumped up and down, pointing and laughing at her. I tried to engage him, to keep Christopher from terrorizing the other children. Then another caseworker came in. He lifted him by one arm and shouted in his face, "Listen, you brat. You better sit down and SHUT UP." He tossed Christopher onto the couch and he bounced, landing on his head. The caseworker warned, "Don't even think about moving. I'm watching you." Christopher did not move or even cry. He looked at me for help.

The caseworker explained to me defensively, "That's the only way these kids listen. That's how they are treated at home, so that's the only way to get through to them." And I wondered, silently: If we aren't treating these children any better than they were treated in their homes, then what are we doing?

To the manager at ACS who makes the fateful decision to remove a child, and to the judge who approves it, a child exists on a piece of paper, alongside a list of disturbing circumstances. They don't see a child having a panic attack at 3 a.m. because he is suddenly alone in the world. Or slamming his head against a wall out of protest and desperation. The good intentions that go into the decision to remove a child often have little to do with the sometimes brutal outcomes of that choice. And the problem is not simply caseworkers who do not know how to talk to children. The whole system does not treat children with dignity and respect.

Usually, the kids fell asleep in my lap during the car rides to their new foster homes. But Christopher stayed awake all the way to his new home in Staten Island, until 3 a.m. He stared out the car window and watched Manhattan recede in the distance. He seemed to know exactly what was happening, like an adult trapped in a little body that couldn't speak. But when I finally had to leave him, he did what any 3-year-old would do in the face of abandonment. He clung for his life to my leg.

When I graduated from college two years ago, I decided to become a caseworker for ACS. I wanted to learn how child welfare policy affects children and their families--not from reports and data, but on the front lines.
It may seem hard to imagine now, but in many ways I loved my job and had no plans to do anything else. As a caseworker, I was in a unique position to advocate for children and parents when they most needed help. Many of the parents and children I encountered made deep impressions on me, and I established close connections with some of them. I also enjoyed the investigative aspect of the job, the thrill of constantly going into unknown situations. At first, I saw it as a daily adventure.

But it did not take long for me to see that there was no adventure here. Many of these families were harassed, their rights systematically violated by ACS. Their children were being swallowed up by an agency that too often operated on virtually unchecked authority, wielded arbitrarily. And I represented that agency.
More and more, I felt that I could not do the job I believed I needed to do with an ACS badge around my neck. I resigned from the agency in October 1999, after working there for just over a year. After all that I had experienced, I felt, like many of my clients, crippled by feelings of powerlessness. At the time, the only thing I could do was write it all down.

In the year I worked there, the Administration for Children's Services investigated more than 50,000 reports of child abuse and neglect. I handled about 50 of them in my job as a child protective caseworker in the Manhattan field office. I went all over the city investigating cases--to housing projects, family shelters and, once, to an apartment where a father had made a robot for his kids out of old Metrocards. But except for the time I visited a family on the Upper West Side--who hired their own doctors to disprove ACS's allegations of child abuse--my work took me to low-income neighborhoods. The reality is that families who are likely to be reported to ACS are poor.

When I first started the job, my supervisor explained to me that bad caseworkers sympathize with the parents. "Being sentimental," he said, "is the worst way to be." If you relate to the parent, the wisdom goes, you cannot conduct an objective investigation.

The entire investigation process relies on the assumption that parents do not know their rights, starting with the moment they allow caseworkers to come into their homes. A lot of these families are so conditioned to caseworkers knocking on their doors that the presence of a city worker in their homes is just another part of life. Nearly half a million New York City children have been the subjects of ACS investigations. If you are poor and if you have had problems with the law, if you have ever been involved in a domestic violence dispute, if you took your child to the emergency room after an accident, if you have ever used drugs, if your children have problems in school, if you have ever been homeless, ACS has been a part of your life.

Child protective specialists get about two to three new cases each week, sent to them by their supervisors. Those supervisors have their own supervisors, called managers. It's managers who sign off on the big decisions: whether a case is worth pursuing and, most critically, when to put children into foster care.
For a caseworker, each case represents a heavy set of tasks and responsibilities. First, unless the call was anonymous, she must contact the source of the report. Many calls come from professionals required by law to report suspected abuse or neglect, such as teachers, guidance counselors and hospital social workers. Other people call in reports, too, especially neighbors and family members. But many of these reports turn out to be false, and some of them are made purely for revenge.

Within 24 hours of a report, the caseworker has to visit the family at home. Caseworkers must interview each child and examine them all for marks and bruises. They must also interview every other member of the household, check every room for safety, check refrigerators and cabinets for food. Immunization records, birth certificates and proof of income must be verified. Next, caseworkers contact the children's schools and doctors. And in cases that involve drug allegations, the caseworker must accompany the parent to a drug test.

At any point during the investigation, a manager can order children to be removed from their homes if it is determined that their lives are at risk. But under state law and ACS policy, removals are supposed to be a last resort. As an alternative, the agency offers a menu of services to help families deal with problems; counseling, parenting classes, drug treatment and housekeeping services are the most typical.

These investigations and interventions save children's lives and protect their well-being all the time. Caseworkers are trained to look beneath the surface, to not trust a parent's statement without evidence and to compile as much information about a family as possible. Caseworkers and their supervisors are accountable for each case; the days when cases piled up on desks without anyone contacting a family are long over.

But accountability, at ACS, is a one-way street. A manager or supervisor has no one to answer to if a child who shouldn't be in foster care is removed from home anyway. There is no penalty for the wrongful taking of a child. And the pressures to remove are intense. I was trained to do removals in cases that did not necessarily qualify as abuse or neglect because, as one of my supervisors reminded me, "prevention is better than a cure." When I was resistant to doing a removal on a case, that same supervisor's advice was, "It's better to be safe than sorry." And at moments of uncertainty, the mantra was "Cover your ass"--a phrase heard often around the office. It was backed up by a pervasive fear--among caseworkers, supervisors, managers and attorneys--of seeing our photograph in the Daily News as the person who made an error that was literally fatal.

Caseworkers, usually the only people who have had direct contact with a family, don't have much to say in the decision-making process. Managers generally think of them as being incapable of giving meaningful recommendations. One week after the investigation begins, caseworkers have to file an electronic report. The computer offers two options: "safe" and "unsafe." But my manager accepted only one. Any time I determined a child to be "safe," my manager rejected it and returned it to me. The first step to protect yourself, I quickly discovered, is to determine that a child is "unsafe" from the outset of an investigation.

_______
In my division, if the allegations were bad enough--and especially if they came from a teacher, doctor, or other professional required by law to report suspected abuse or neglect--our manager considered them to be absolute truth. Virtually every time, if a caseworker could not find evidence to prove that the allegations were unfounded, the manager would refuse to sign off on a case, clearing it from our ever-growing caseloads, until we marked it "indicated" in the computer system. Indicated means that ACS has found credible evidence that abuse or neglect has taken place.

Our manager indicated a case in which an 18-year-old mother was mistakenly picked up in a drug sweep and immediately released. The same woman had been indicated in an earlier investigation, after hot tea spilled on her child at a family shelter, even though the social worker whose tea it was witnessed that it was an accident. Still, the manager decided that this previous incident--along with a robbery conviction and marijuana use before the child was born--was reason enough to indicate the new case.

Throughout ACS, the proportion of cases that end up labeled indicated has jumped from 26 percent in 1994 to nearly 40 percent in 1998. From a manager's point of view, indicating cases gives them the legal leverage they need to order a removal at any given time. For a parent, it also means something else: Having an indicated case on her record means that she cannot adopt a child, become a foster parent or work with children in any capacity.

From there, the decision to remove is entirely up to the manager. By law, children are supposed to be removed only if their physical or emotional health has been harmed or they are in immediate danger or being hurt as a result of a parent's failure to "exercise a minimum degree of care." In practice, that can mean anything from a parent failing to show up for parenting classes to sending her child to the hospital with a broken limb. But sometimes children are removed for reasons the caseworkers themselves cannot fathom.
On the night I met a client I'll call Louise at the homeless shelter where she lived, she told me her 11-day-old son, Kevin, was born without drugs in his body. That she prayed to God and he gave her another chance. And that she got clean on her own, without any program. I asked her about her other children and she told me what I already knew: She had given birth to five children who were all taken away from her while she was still in the hospital because each time she tested positive for crack.

Back at the office, my manager ordered me to remove Kevin. My manager, like most of her colleagues, did not go for the "life transformation" stuff. It did not matter that all of Louise's drug tests had been clean for the past two years. The manager called it a straight case of neglect, since the woman's other children had all been taken from her. Besides, my manager reminded me, Louise is taking heavy psychotropic medication.

Before going to court, we received a letter written by Louise's psychiatrist, whom she had seen regularly for the past year. He wrote:

I remember thinking in her case no medication and certainly no therapy had been able to have the effect on her that her new child has had on her....The effect of the role of motherhood on her has defined her and given her grounding. It is our social and moral responsibility to support [Louise] in functioning as a mother. It is clear that [Louise] is ill. However, it is my assessment, in accord with all other senior clinicians [here], that [Louise] poses no immediate threat to her child.

My manager didn't see things the same way, and she made me file the case in court. "If we can't get a neglect finding on this mother, I might as well go work for the Parks Department," she told me. When ACS's attorneys initially wouldn't accept the case, she emailed the head of the legal division. And while I was away at a three-day training, she finally managed to get Kevin into foster care. Louise had stayed overnight with Kevin's father that week after she missed curfew at her shelter, and my manager had found an old order of protection against him--evidence of domestic violence. Louise was nailed with "failure to protect" Kevin from this potentially dangerous man.

(Only later did Louise tell me that she did not really have a history of domestic violence; she made it up a few years ago since she knew it was the only way she could qualify for emergency housing. I explained to her that it was the only reason ACS was able to take Kevin. "Well, what would you have done?" she asked me.)

In Family Court, Louise spoke up for herself, because her attorney did not. She argued her case herself and, with the help of testimony from her psychiatric nurse, won the judge over. Louise got Kevin back on the condition that she secure housing, submit to drug tests, continue to see her psychiatrist and comply with ACS supervision.

The ability to return a child to his or her parent is one of the few rewards of a caseworker's job. After picking up Kevin from his foster care agency in Queens, I sat with him in the Emergency Assistance Unit, the city's dispatch center for homeless families, waiting for his mother to arrive. The waiting room was filled with mothers and crying kids. A little girl came in the waiting area and asked the lady behind the counter for a piece of paper. "No paper," was the curt reply. I told the girl to come over to where I was sitting. My hands were full because I was feeding Kevin, but I told her that she could rip some pages out of my notebook. She stood there and tore out about 30 pages, one at a time. Every few moments she looked up at me waiting for me to say no. I just smiled at her. "That your baby?" she asked me.

"No," I told her.
"You homeless?"
I shook my head.
"You took that baby, didn't you?" she asked.
"I'm giving him back."
"Yeah, you better," she warned.

In my year at ACS, I was lucky to see only a few children who were severely abused and neglected. I did see bruises, belt marks and burns on kids. I saw dirty and hungry children. I saw a baby with cockroaches crawling in her crib. There were kids who had never been to school. I had to ask a kindergartner if her father put his penis in her mouth. I sat in the back of an ambulance with a 9-year-old boy lying on a stretcher who had been beaten up by his mother with a baseball bat. He clutched his HIP card, his only possession now, in his swollen hand. I had a 3-year-old child whose mother forced him to stay awake for four days and three nights because she thought he was possessed by a ghost and would die if he fell asleep. And I met some parents who were dangerous not just to their children, but to me. I had to get an order of protection for myself against one, and was warned by another that I was going to be killed by the Bloods outside Family Court. But all this is what I expected from the job. In a strange way, these really horrible cases turned out to be the easy ones. It was the cases that weren't so clear-cut that kept me up at night. I saw removals occur when parents were accused of failing to follow up with a preventive service program or counseling. Breaking rules at shelters. Using or selling marijuana, or not sending their children to school. Failure-to-protect cases were common. One time, I removed a child from a mother accused of neglecting her infant son when she was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. It turned out the child was not yet even born when the suicide attempt occurred.
I worried about what I would do if my manager ordered me to remove. I worried about making mistakes myself.

Two nights before Christmas 1998, I removed two children who I still believe should not have been taken from their home. I had been a caseworker at ACS for two months.At the last minute, my supervisor instructed me to accompany an even greener coworker on a case I knew nothing about. On the way up the FDR, in the back of the city car, my colleague, Theresa, described the case to me. The children were to be removed because their 82-year-old great-grandmother, Ms. Ruth Jackson, was too old to care for them. Owen, 5, and Carla, 14, were in Ms. Jackson's legal custody, because their mother and grandmother were both absent, allegedly because of drug use.
According to the allegations from an after-school program she attended, Carla had recently slashed a girl in the face with a pocketknife at school and was beyond the great-grandmother's control. Theresa told me Ms. Jackson had medical problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes and glaucoma. Due to her "failing health," our supervisor believed that she was not an appropriate caretaker for the children. The supervisor instructed Theresa to ask the great-grandmother to sign a form that would voluntarily place the children in ACS's custody. Theresa told me that she was instructed to call the police and remove the children only if the woman refused to sign the form. Our supervisor had informed Theresa that a refusal to sign would constitute neglect, because Ms. Jackson would not be complying with the best interests of the children.

"I don't believe that this is the right thing," Theresa complained to me. "The great-grandmother hasn't done anything wrong, and her health seems fine." I was furious at her for not telling me any of this before we left. I knew the options a family could be offered in a time of stress. A removal was to be done only in an emergency.

When we arrived, Ms. Jackson looked at us suspiciously and seemed reluctant to let us in. Decorated for Christmas, the apartment smelled like greasy chicken. It was 9 at night.

She instructed the children to go to their rooms. She sat on the sagging couch and asked, "What can I do for you ladies tonight?" She looked a little frail but seemed strong-willed.

I sat in the corner by the Christmas tree while Theresa tried to explain about the voluntary form. "You are old and you have so many health problems," she told Ms. Jackson unconvincingly. "Who will take care of the children if something should happen to you?"

Ms. Jackson said, "Ain't nothing happening to me. What if something happens to you?"
Theresa tried again. "It's not safe for the children to be living with you because you are too old to care for them properly and look after them." She looked at the floor as she said this, her voice shaking.
"What're you saying, miss? These children are not going anywhere. Nobody in this house is too old. I raised them kids since they were babies. The court gave me these children and nobody's going to take them away from me."
"My supervisor said that..."
"What?"
"My supervisor"
"Your what?"
"My supervisor. He wants you to sign this voluntary form so that the children will be safe." She placed the blank form on the coffee table.

"I don't know much about your supervisor, but nobody's signing these kids to them foster people. It's Christmas. Did you know that, dear?"After about 15 minutes of this, Theresa signaled me to call the police. Out in the hallway I called 911, then went back into the apartment to wait for the cops.
Ms. Jackson had no idea they were coming. "Who would want to take these children?" she asked us. "It's Christmas. These children are happy. I take these children to school every day. I make sure they have everything they need to get along fine." The cops banged on the door. "Who's that?" asked Ms. Jackson. "That your supervisor?"

I answered the door. Two cops stood around and did not say much. Theresa started crying, and everything fell into my hands. I explained to Ms. Jackson that the children were coming with us tonight and that she would have to come to court tomorrow to get them back. I had packed kids up quickly once before, so I braced myself to do it again.

The kids were watching The Brady Bunch, lying with their feet up on their great-grandmother's bed. I introduced myself and told Carla to pack up some clothes for herself and her brother. She looked at me as if the prospect of leaving might be exciting for a second. Owen wanted to know if "grandma" was coming. I told him no, and said some things about how everything was going to be okay. Ms. Jackson came in and put clean underwear on Owen, put his pajamas back on, and packed some clothes in a backpack for him.
As we continued to pack, Ms. Jackson stood in the bedroom doorway with her mouth half-open, no sound coming out. Carla ran down the stairs and waited for us in front of the police car.

In the back of the car on our way to ECS, Owen saw his big sister crying. He sat on my lap and started crying into my shirt.

Almost all removals take place at night. Caseworkers are too busy during the day, and a family is also more likely to be home after dark. But some workers deliberately wait till after hours, for the time-and-a-half overtime. Doing a removal, staying out all night at ECS, and then taking the child to a foster home can mean more than doubling a day's pay. With caseworkers' salaries starting at under $32,000, overtime makes a big difference.

The caseworkers who want nothing to do with removals can rely on other caseworkers who volunteer for the money. When supervisors are desperate to find someone to do a removal, they often encourage caseworkers by reminding them, "You could use the extra cash." The consequence is caseworkers arriving at ECS with no idea why they just removed the kids who are with them. When the ECS intake worker or an ACS lawyer asks them why the children were removed, "I don't know, it's not my case" is a standard response. Or simply, "Because my supervisor told me to."

Any caseworker can tell you that they have done removals that they did not personally agree with. But they rarely complain to management, since they will never get in trouble for removing a child under supervisors' orders. Caseworkers are also quiet about unnecessary removals because doing a removal and then transferring a case to foster care takes them a lot less time than keeping it and trying to work with a family. Keeping a case obligates a worker to do regular home visits and follow-ups to make sure a family is getting preventive services. It also means dealing with anything that may go wrong and continuing to be responsible for the children's safety.

To become a child protective caseworker, you do not need to have any experience working with children, or demonstrate that you actually want to work with children. No one even asks if you like children. You must simply have a bachelor's degree in a social science field and pass a two-part exam. For the oral part we were asked to think of five questions we would ask a parent, based on a short case scenario. A "powerful rotting odor" is supposed to prompt test-takers to ask, "What is that smell?" For the written test, we listened to a series of voice mail recordings and wrote down phone numbers and other details. This was not a test of common sense, or even listening skills. It seemed to be a test to see if we were alive.

Once hired, caseworkers have six weeks of training, where they are taught how to conduct interviews, identify abuse and neglect, and carry out a removal. Legal issues, child development, domestic violence, sensitivity to cultural issues and handling angry clients were also part of the curriculum. Through it all, caseworkers are taught, it is essential to treat clients respectfully and professionally.

But the social work lingo of the training, where we spent two days discussing the need to "leave your baggage at the door," is far removed from the harsh reality of a field office. For new caseworkers, the obsessive concern with liability at the field offices quickly overshadows the reasonable criteria they have been taught for identifying abuse and neglect. Most quickly learn to abandon their training and to do what it takes to survive.

ACS has been making strides cutting down heavy caseloads, but it's still a stressful and at times tedious job--each case, no matter how trivial, calls for the same 15-page report. A contradiction at the heart of it all makes the work even more difficult. Caseworkers are trained to be service providers and advocates for families. To work together with families to uncover and solve problems in the home, caseworkers must establish an intimate rapport with their clients. Yet at the very same time they are engaged in an act of betrayal: as they write down parents' statements and survey their homes and behavior, caseworkers are building a potential court case against them. At no point are they able to tell their clients that everything they say can be used against them in court. The relationship of caseworker and client becomes one of manipulation, characterized by a deep lack of trust on both sides.
Although many of the best caseworkers get fed up and leave the agency, there are good workers who have been at ACS for years. They have survived because they have learned how to manipulate the system to make it work for themselves and their clients. They purposely omit or obscure facts about families in their case records and in their discussions with their supervisors to save clients from unnecessary court action. The most fortunate have supervisors who share their commitment to respecting families' rights. I was one of them: One of my supervisors was a mentor to me, and I considered her directives highly valuable.

Several months before I left the agency, an Emergency Children's Services supervisor who was resigning after more than 10 years blanketed the agency with a stunning email. He began by saying that he is not leaving the agency any better than when he started. He blamed this lack of improvement on ACS Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta, whom he accused of being more preoccupied with making the agency look good in the media than with making substantial changes that help clients. "ACS cares more about statistics than they do about children, forgetting that those statistics represent real children," he wrote. The supervisor had equally harsh words for protective caseworkers: "ACS workers cannot absolve themselves of responsibility for doing wrong removals by blaming them on their supervisors or managers or on agency policy." He compared the level of obedience and complacency at the agency to Nazi soldiers who killed 11 million civilians during World War II because "they too were just carrying out orders." Nobody around me talked about the email, not even to disagree.

Carla and Owen were placed in foster care that night. The next day, Theresa went to court. The judge, who happened to be in his seventies himself, ordered that Owen be returned home immediately. The judge stated the obvious: Old age is not grounds for neglect. Carla, however, was to remain in foster care because of her behavior problems. When the judge asked Theresa if she felt the children were in imminent danger, she answered that in her opinion they were not.

MY LETTER TO THE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS

Dear Committee Members,

I am aware that Child Protection Services is a Government Eugenics agency, however, there is no true oversight within Child Welfare, especially since investigations are all done internally. For this reason alone we need to establish accountability! Many people have become unfairly targeted, simply because CPS has "quotas" to meet in order to obtain Federal Funds. Children must be taken away so agencies can generate enough income to offset the growing payroll of Child Welfare workers and other contracted vendors. Families have no where to turn when dealing with a corrupt CPS agency, and those associated are Racketeering using non profits. Monies are being wasted on personal luxuries and other extravagances rather than on programs that are intended for children. Many Politician's are affiliated with children charities and are receiving campaign contributions from Big Pharma, therefore, there is no longer a true "Separation of State". Politicians will not respond to fraud complaints, nor pass bills to stop the over drugging of children. Some of these medications are not even FDA approved. Child Advocates; Casa and others, are not meeting with children which is extending their stay in foster care, and Attorney's are being paid for by the County usually side with CPS. Many Judges sit at the head of Adoption agencies and often times oversee Mental Health cases, which enable them to terminate parental rights; deeming parents to be incompetent. Judges are also affiliated with Children charities and are receiving kickbacks from Detention centers, so basically the child has no one representing their best interest. Police are receiving Grant funds under the COPS or CIS (Cops In School) Program, so they too have now become corrupt. Therapists are giving parents & children false mental conditions and are double billing Medical; sometimes billing for children that don‘t even exist. Doctors are misdiagnosing and over drugging children because they are receiving kickbacks from Pharmaceutical companies. Medical professionals are committing insurance fraud and this is draining our Social Security. This is partially the reason America's medical expenses are double than what they are in the rest of the world. There is a HUGE collusion between CPS, Doctors, Lawyers, Therapists, Child Advocates, Law Enforcement, and other contracted vendors who are all profiting from Child “Protection” Agencies.


I am currently working on obtaining funds to create a National online Registry. Data would be anonymously entered using an online interactive database. This register will contain information that will track and store fraud complaints of organizations and individuals, which would be compiled and sorted by County and State. This will assist in determining validity while documenting events. Complaints would be screened and responded to much quicker and this will reduce the incidences of fraud and misappropriations of funds. If a system like this were to be implemented then families and children throughout the United States would not continue to suffer grave injustices at the hands of those who are abusing the very system for which it was intended. They would be able to make complaints without fear of retaliation and the real criminals who are abusing their power would be punished for their crimes against humanity.

WE'VE EATEN ENOUGH SWISS CHEESE!

EMERGENCY NATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM ORGANIZED CRIME ALERT!

The American "Child Slave Trade" Project by the Sociology Center:

http://www.thesociologycenter.com/slavrade.html

Human Trafficking Laws & Organizations:

http://thesociologycenter.com/slavetrade.html#TRAFFICKING

Historian reveals tragedy of Swiss child trade (The Verdingkinder Scandal) (Swiss Child Trade):

Slave labour, beatings, sexual abuse, fear and isolation were the norm for thousands of “Verdingkinder”, or "discarded children", who were given away or sold as cheap labour until the 1950s. CPS does thesamething with Children by forcing them to undergo therapy and other services to create jobs for State workers. They place children in daycare centers so agencies receive Federal Funding. The similarities are astonishing!

http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/index/Discarded_children.html?cid=998936

The Swiss Verdingkinder system has identifiable elements in common with the United States child protection system. The social processes identified common to both systems are:

1. Poor families required to register with the Government. (US Public Assistance, Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare and numerous other special programs.)

2. Once registered with the Government, Parents were subjected to ongoing monitoring to determine if "the best interest of the child" was served by removing the child from the hom and placing the child in the Verdingkinder system.

3. Children who aged out of the system were not intellectually and emotionally prepared for adult life, especially marital relationships.

4. Decisions about the "best interest of the child" were made by Government employees using subjective criteria.

5. Children auctioned off or distributed under government sanction. (US Child Protection Agencies post pictures of children held for adoption on the internet and foster parents are enticed with additional household income generated by foster children.)

6. Children physically abused, starved, and malnourished by State and foster custodians.

7. Children sexually abused by State and foster custodians.

8. Children murdered by State and foster custodians.

9. Children economically exploited. (In the Swiss system by the middlemen, farmers and businesses using the child labor; In the US system by State employees who wrongfully seize children for federal funds to meet the agency payroll, by psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers filing fraudulent insurance claims and crime victim therapy service provider claims for nonexistent or fictitious child crime victims, and by attorneys, prosecutors, child abuse investigators, juvenile court judges, and civil court judges who exploit false child abuse allegation to sustain their income, power or prestige.)

10. Criminal activity was concealed with the absence of records, falsified records and incomplete records.

11. Government agencies paid fees and subsidies to State and foster custodians who physically abused, murdered, sexually abused and economically exploited children.

12. Law enforcement agencies ignored or covered up criminal acts against children by State and foster custodians.

13. When prosecutions did occur for crimes against Verdingkinder, the punishment was minor compared to the crime.

14. The operation intended to benefit poor families and children became an organized criminal enterprise economically, physically, and sexually exploiting children.

15. Government officials and media not directly involved in the criminal activity refused to believe that a child slave trade could have developed in a civilized nation like Switzerland.

16. The economic exploitation of children in the Swiss system did not end until a cheaper means of farm production than child slave labor was found.

17. The Swiss child slave trade also expanded and operated outside of Government control. (The private purchasing and sale of children in the US is conducted by private child brokers and child adoption attorneys.)

The forgotten Children of Texas:

With all of the advertising you see on TV or read in the newspaper about how how CPS rescues "abused" children....Take a good look at the pictures in this video and tell me if you think the State does a good job of raising kids. (Sorry Hillary)

Those pictures were taken at a State licensed "Foster home"! Most of the children CPS takes are NOT abused. They are taken for the sole purpose of profit! Child Protection and adoption agencies only care about one thing - MAKING MONEY! They take children away from low income and vulnerable families much in the same way the Swiss did with the 'Verdingkind' children.

San Luis Obispo Organized Crime Racket:

Many of the individuals listed on these children charities ignored my calls requesting an investigation into my daughter's kidnapping. Take a look at their financials and you'll see why!

FAMILIES HAVE EATEN ENOUGH SWISS CHEESE! WE'RE TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE FONDUE WHILE OUR POLITICIANS IGNORE THE PROBLEM! IT'S TIME TO STOP THE ORGANIZED CRIME RACKET! TIME TO REUNITE THESE CHILDREN WITH THEIR FAMILIES CONGRESS!

Any questions?

UPDATE: Jenny's finally back home!

I'd like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the many people who have followed our case and to those who have recently emailed me asking for an update on my daughter who was illegally kidnapped by CPS in San Luis Obispo CA . Jenny is finally back home -- where she belongs. Thank you all for your encouragement and strong support. It was a long two years exposing the CPS child snatchers! I would never have imagined that my journey to justice would lead me half way across the world and to the US President!

Jen is still healing from her two year ordeal. I'm just glad that she is finally back home safely. She is considering suing the State of California now that she is 18. We have a Civil Rights Attorney who is interested in taking on her case. He has been quite succcessful in several other CPS lawsuits, and if Jenny does decide to sue I will be right behind her! I hope that my daughter will become an inspiration to the many other foster children who were illegally abducted each year for Federal Funds. May they never lose hope! Jenny knows how hard I fought for her and she's proud of me. (WOOT!)

As far as San Luis Obispo CPS and the Atascadero Police - they are still corrupt as hell and are still snatching kids and covering up their Fraud. I spoke to Schwarzenegger's Special Agent Officer Day and relayed the latest news and the fact that SLO still refuses to prosecute the people who embezzled from me while I fought for my daughter's return. We have lost our home and almost everything we had because of their greed. I suggested to Day cutting off their Federal Grants (CPS Block Grants and The Atascadero PD's COPS Grants), so we'll see if Arnie takes the hint and investigates. He recently appointed Maldonado as Lt. Governor, so I won't hold my breath. Looks like some Government bureaucrat took down my Families Unite 4 Children's Rights Website. Do the 'commies' really think they can silence both of us? HA! oh Puleassse! They can't hide behind their child trafficking operation much longer because people are starting to wake up, especially now with Obama's Socialized medicine and Euthanasia program.

I don't care how many false DUI's they give me, or how many you tube video's they falsly 'flag' as being 'inappropriate', or how many Gag Orders they place on me in attempts to silence the truth. The truth is CPS and other Government officials are covering up a HUGE child trafficking operation in America. They use intimidation, threats, and slander to silence the parents who are often harassed or thrown in jail on false charges. They violate human rights and destroy families while profitting; using children charities to money launder illegally obtained Federal Funds. Most of this is being done under the disguise of 'protecting' abused children; cases being heard in "secret courts" with fabricated evidence and without jury trials so the general public is completely unaware. CPS uses the media to spread propaganda so they can further their Socialist agenda and expand Social Services -- all at tax payers expense. These familes who are fighting for the truth are denied all constitutional rights. A person with a traffic ticket has more rights than a parent who is involved in a CPS case. A murderer has more rights than a CPS victim. CPS is America's dirty little secret. It's whats keeping the corrupt Politicians in office while draining our Social Security. The sad part is that most of these abductions are taking place right at school under the nose of others -- while the Government attempts to ban homeschooling so they can pluck a child at their whim so they can meet their yearly "Quota". Children provide "jobs" and it is estimated that each child CPS abducts supports 25 social workers. Many of the children who are being taken are not even abused or neglected. Over 1/2 of the children are being placed in foster care instead of with family members, many are being sold through an adoption agencies or over the internet. Others are being placed in mental institutions, are science projects and being drugged for profit. That, my friends, is the reality - the truth about CPS, who is a Government 'Eugenics' agency.

During these past two years while fighting to get my daughter back I spent every waking moment investigating CPS. I researched laws, evaluated other cases, contacted Government officials and various agencies. I called the media and spoke to many other parents who all shared similar stories with me. I have pages upon pages of contacts I made during this time but each call to Congress was a dead end. There was literally no where to turn for all of Congress turned a blind eye. My calls were ignored and my emails were blocked. The media refused to expose CPS because they were threatened, but I did manage to get in contact with the Chief Of Staff for a Senator I won't mention on this page. He confirmed that the corruption had spread to the Legislative level. He was very nervous after telling me; worried that his phone was tapped (like mine). He then cut off communication. He was literally that scared - he even hinted that he was going to resign. He wasn't the first person in Congress to confirm the corruption, however, and as time went by I spoke to other Senators who express their concerns. One Senator remarked that it seemed like America was creating the next "Brownshirts". I have to agree - something very wrong is going on within CPS.

I'll never know for sure why they took my daughter. Whether it was for some positive/negative eugenics project, or simply due to corruption and greed, but whatever the case may be I know that this experice has profoundly affected me in way I simply can't explain. It is an experience that will always stay with me. I think other 'victims' will probably compare it to being a Halocaust survivor. I can't deny the fact that I do see it this way. The slander, the propaganda, the way they persecute the parents and violate their rights. This is exactly what Hitler did to the Jews during World War II. Hopefully time will heal these wounds. In the meantime my healing is done by writing. Sharing our story helps other victims for know they know they are not alone.

CPS is a system that is completly out of control. They are broken. Those responsible need to be punished. They need to be held accountable for the hideous crimes they commit against families and children. The only way to make this happen is to alert the public that is is really happening so that they will get involved to help families. It is my hope that we can force Congress to take action and open up the secret courts!

May their be justice oneday for all the families and children who have suffered!

NOTE TO: Detective Fred Pflum and Police Chief Jim Mulhall - We will get justice oneday! I hope you get exposed Chief and may SLO CPS get audited. I can't wait for that day!!

Nancy Schaefer Speaks at the World Congress on Families

August 27, 2009

Nancy Schaefer, President of Eagle Forum of Georgia and Eagle Forum's National Chairman for Parents' Rights, spoke at the World Congress on Families V in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on August 11, 2009.

Pro-family leaders and groups from 63 nations attended the World Congress of Families V. 900 delegates were Dutch and other nations represented included, United States, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, the U.K., Ireland, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Romania, Poland, Latvia, Moldavia, Slovakia, Russia, Nigeria, Ghana, the Democratic Republic, of Congo, Kenya, Pakistan, Australia, and the Philippines. More than 3,000 people around the world watched the live telecast via the Internet.

On August 16th, Schaefer delivered, via cyber space, her speech to the Nordic Committee for Human Rights (NCHR) in Gothenburg, Sweden on the protection of Family Rights in Nordic countries.

Schaefer spoke on "The Unlimited Power of Child Protective Services" (CPS).

She told her audience "children are seized unnecessarily from their families due to federal aid created in 1974 entitled "The Adoption and Safe Families Act." It offers financial incentives to the States that increase adoption numbers. To receive the 'adoption incentives' or 'bonuses', local CPS must have more children. They must have merchandise that sells… this is an abuse of power. It is lack of accountability and it is a growing criminal/political phenomenon spreading around the globe."

Nancy Schaefer wrote a scathing report on "The Corruption of Child Protective Services" while serving as a State Senator of Georgia.

CPS UNDER FIRE!

You're time is Comming CPS of San Luis Obispo!! You will be exposed for kidnapping my daughter! I promise!

Print Story_ Orange County ..

Assembyman Blakeslee & Senator Maldonado affiliated with Children Charities

My daughter was placed into a foster home run by Family Care Connections. Both Senator Maldonado and Assemblymen Sam Blakeslee have strong ties to this foster care agency. This is where my daughter learned how to snort drugs that she obtained from her "foster Mother" who abused my daughter. The foster Mother hit my daughter in the face and punched her in the stomach, but CPS did nothing. Jenny was held "hostage" against her will and all of her rights were violated. Social Workers took her cell phone away so she didn't try to contact me. Jenny and I had to hide three cell phones so we could try to stay in touch with one another. When CPS found out they punished my daughter and threatened to pump her stomach. Jenny became depressed and began cutting on herself. She was suicidal and had self inflicted cuts on her wrists, legs, and arms. She told Social workers and many other people that she wanted to go home, but all of them ignored her pleas. I contacted Assemblyman Blakeslee's office but he refused to speak with me. Instead, he contacted CPS and had my daughter moved to a 'maximum security' home to ensure that she didn't escape. Jenny was placed with "Chaperones" 24 hours a day so that she could be watched. They went with her to school and Jenny wasn't even allowed to go to the bathroom alone. She became very distraught at being separated from me and even begged the young chaperone's to help her get away. I made several trips to Assemblyman Blakeslee's office to drop off proof that CPS had fabricated reports and lied in Court. He responded back by sending me a threatening letter; telling me not to call his office again. When I contacted Senator Maldonado's office I received the same cold treatment. I had dropped off evidence of corruption, which included tape recordings of my daughter. Maldonado refused to meet with me, even after I signed a release allowing him access to my case file. Instead, his office made a false report to the CHP claiming that I was harassing him, which was a lie. This report was made right after I requested that a referral to the "Joint Legislative Audit Committee" be done on CPS. The Senator then sent a "special agent" with the "Terrorist" Division to my home. Governor Schwarzenegger recently appointed Senator Maldonado as Lt. Governor.

Former GA Senator Nancy Schaefer speak in Amsterdam on CPS

Nancy Schaefer, former Georgia State Senator, President ofEagle Forum of Georgia and Eagle Forum's National Chairman of Parents' Rights, is scheduled to speak at theWorld Congress of Families in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on the subject of "The Unlimited Power of Child Protective Services." The 2009 Congress is beingbroadcast live on the internet.

Nancy Schaefer will explain to more than 4,000 attendees from some 60 countries how Child Protective Services is a threat to children and families not only in the U. S., but in many other countries that have patterned their Child Protective Services, Foster Care, Family Court and Adoption Services after the U.S. Supplied with taxpayer dollars, tremendous financial incentives currently exist to turn all Child Protective Services into a lucrative business.

Mrs. Schaefer is on the cutting edge of how to take the family back from what she calles the "social gestapo" made up of judges, caseworkers, court appointed attorneys, investigators, guardian ad litems, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and more.

Nancy Schaefer will call for the immediate reform of State and Federal policies and the abolishing of Federal and State financial incentives that use taxpayer dollars to separate families for money.
