Why is federal funding for state agencies worth more than preserving the family?

Question

Why is it that innocent parents, (at the hands of a gruesome system, namely juvenile dependency judges and cps social workers who get federal money for each child they steal), not allowed to a fair trial? Parents constitutional rights to a fair trial (which is non existent in juvenile dependency courts) are violated every Monday thru Friday in this country. What can we do about this problem? Innocent parents rights to be parents to their children are slaughtered in juvenile courts every day and it is akin to a death sentence for both the child and the parent. You youngsters out there who claim that CPS only goes after abusive parents are so incredibly uninformed. Are you young parents ready for the destruction of your family? What can we do about it?

And wizzards, you a a prime example of what I am referring to as far as misinformed parents. I'm not referring to drug using parents and even most of them are not nearly as abusive to their kids as bible thumping extremists. Look at John List. Look it up. Ever had a neighbor mad at you? They can place anonymous hotline calls and voila, you are caught up in CPS trap. They take kids away from desperate moms trying to get away from their abuser and the mom ends up as a child abuser on their national data base. You are one of the prime reasons that this country needs to open their eyes to what is really going on. Get educated before you put everyone in one category. If you have no children, don't bother answering. If you were a child victim of the courts, I would like to hear your take on this.

Answer 1

I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, but if you are referring to why social service agencies take children away from drug using parents and parents who abuse them, someone has to protect the kids.

Answer 2

Hey Wizzard, reread the post, because you obviously don't understand the question. We know that children who are abused or have been sexually assaulted should be removed from the abusers. Justme's question is asking about our constitutional rights and due process under that Constitution.

I was a child victim of social services. My mother died when I was 11, and my sister and I remained living with my father, who just so happened to be a disabled WWII Veteran. He had a stroke, and was wheelchairbound. He was a good man, and he loved us dearly. Never a day went by where he wasn't smiling because he didn't harbor any pity for himself and his plight. My daddy was a big tall strong man, who was reduced to having to live the rest of his days in a wheelchair.

He showed us how to cook, how to cheat at cards,:) how to read when we were 3, (we're twins), he was a wonderful man.
Child Protective Services came and took us away for no reason, and we never saw him again. We went to foster homes that were horrible. Most of the time, the foster mothers were kind and caring, but some of the foster fathers were downright cruel men. One man named Lon kicked my sister so hard that he broke her tailbone. One foster home used us as full time housekeepers, took all of our hard earned babysitting money from our trust accounts, and molestation was normal. I just wanted to see my daddy, but CPS wouldn't let us have any contact. He died a few years later, and I will never forgive CPS or trust Social Services ever again.

Now I am an adult, and I have two children of my own. I had an angry neighbor lady call CPS on me because her husbands eyes looked at my butt too long one day in passing. I knew nothing about this neighbor, and still don't.

Can you imagine my suprise when CPS showed up at my house and took my babies because they had proof they said that I was probably a danger to my children because....ok here it comes....because I was a foster child. A product of their own system will come back to haunt you. They hold it against you because they know all too well their protection does more harm than good.

Oh and by the way, please educate yourself people, I am telling you the truth here, CPS gets their money from your tax dollars, and they don't get any money if they don't take your kids. If they can place children for adoption, and maybe label them "special needs" the windfall financially is doubled, and very motivating for all of them, even the judges.

In the courtroom, you get no chance to defend yourself, you get to say nothing. It's a kangaroo court. My attorney was shocked when he saw what went on.

Please people, if you really want to know the truth about the foster care system, please type into google "Joseph Sarandos, Call For Change." If you don't challenge the status quo, then one day this may happen to you, and you may believe it's just a misunderstanding, and we'll clear this all up. Good luck with that.

Also, for those of you who occasionally smoke a hooter, or those of you who like to attend parties? You are a textbook child abuser/neglect by CPS standards. (Alcohol is a drug, and by far the worst one.) The last thing thing I want to say here is this; children should only be separated from their parents or siblings as a last resort. But CPS uses this as a first resort to fund their budget, and there isn't anything you or I can do about it unless we challenge our lawmakers. How would you feel if CPS knocked at your door with the police in tow, to take your babies away? It feels pretty sickening. It took me 10 years to get my boys back, and they have so many issues and problems now. They are ADD, they have substance abuse problems, when I had no history of this.

CPS ruined my life and the lives of my children, and it's because of people who say "if the government is behind it, then it must be justified." Challenge your government people!!! If you pay taxes, then you are funding child abuse by CPS. More kids die while in foster care than they do with their own parents. Schools tell our kids to call CPS on us for a slew of different things, so you better educate yourselves. Parents have no rights in family courts.

So go ahead and sit there, do nothing and go with whatever the staus quo says, and someday, you'll remember you read this post, because someone you know or love, will have their worlds and lives ruined by those who "protect".

Here's a novel idea....Question authority, hold CPS accountable for their spending. Turn it around, change the laws to pay them per child they successfully reunite with their parents, and we'll have an amazing transformation. DON"T BE IGNORANT!
