Kathryn, This is truly sad because we desperately NEED people like you in the system. People who realize that CPS workers can and DO make mistakes, and that it is their duty when they recognize such mistakes to correct them and to see to it they aren't intentionally repeated. I have a similar proble...

I dunno if it was a true incident or a rumor, but I read something in a trash mag about her almost dropping the baby in the street and the bodyguard caught the child just in time. She had a drink in one hand, baby in the other, and was wearing some RIDICULOUS shoes. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages...

Frustrated,

That's why I think CPS case workers are basically sex perverts. They see something sexual in EVERYTHING.

Too bad they can't go back in time and yank those children out of the one room log cabins where they lived, huh?

Shirley,

The Dakotas have HORRIBLE homeschool laws. If you were to move to North Dakota, you'd probably want to find a good private school to keep your kids out of the public school system.

I must point out that if you are looking to stay "below the radar", you need to also look at a state's homeschool laws...because the MINUTE you enroll your child in a government school, they are under scrutiny. So there are a lot of factors you must consider. Homeschooling offers you other protectio...

Wisconsin's starting to have a reputation for cracking down on spanking, and they also overreport medical concerns (we were reported because my wife was still breastfeeding a daughter at 16 months...I kid you not!). So I'd stay away from there as well.

I'm not a Michael Moore fan; frankly, it is the socialist leanings of his far left crowd that have brought CPS to the power it now enjoys. He is far more likely to produce something that would ultimately help the opposition. A better solution (and one I am trying to work with) would be Aaron Russo. ...

Interestingly enough, though, those numbers don't correlate with the percentage of removals. If I remember correctly, DC has one of the highest rates of removal. So, you may see CPS workers less, but if they do show up, you're losing your child. There's pros and cons to every state. I once considere...

AMAZING how quickly they go away if you assert your rights, isn't it?

sob, I would seriously encourage you to take a hard look at the Libertarian Party. The advantage with the LP is that we are already well established as a third party and have a strong, cohesive platform. I am trying to work to advance the CPS reform agenda to the LP national platform, and having wor...

Also, I was one of many who helped expose the FSP. Now, THIS statement I believe. The publication of the FSP was a collaborative effort of MANY people. But there's a vast difference between stating you were "one of many", and stating that you are solely responsible for every second of media coverag...

splizzrinkle, I am still waiting for a reply from Amanda. What set me off about your approach is that you are acting as if all of us don't matter; now that YOU'RE here, we're supposed to sit back and let you do the work. This is entirely antithetical to everything that the FSP was ever about, and th...

By the way, if you're responsible for the FSP's media coverage, you might want to update the website. In the meantime, I will be emailing amanda phillips to verify your credentials.

For those of you who don't already know, I am responsible for every second of media coverage for the FSP, a political group with 19,000 members. Some of you think everything has to be done "just right", in a "certain manor", "with patience", etc. .. wake up folks! This is not college class. You jus...

I have alot of experience with the media and I know how they work. The funny thing is, the other 4 sites are getting all the signatures, this site just rants and raves and does nothing "so far". . Gotcha. You don't need help, this is your project, and any advice we could give would be wasted. Best ...

Frustrated, There's a difference. We don't have the media access to organize such a march yet. That's why we need to hold conventions and work on getting the word out. I guarantee if we advertise a "million parent march" and 50 people show up, which is probably about what we'd get at this moment, we...

Dazee, I agree, having conventions is an extremely important goal. I personally believe our approach must be multifaceted, but must center on legitimizing our argument. I think rallies and demonstrations have their place, but we need to build up popular support. If we had a rally in DC, for instance...

splizzrinkle, I am doing my part in activism as well. I am running for public office in Texas to bring awareness to the problem, and I am forming a group called CPS ACTION (ACTION stands for Activist Coalition, Training, Information & Organization Network). My goal is to provide an exhaustive li...

No problem, firemonkey. It happens in the heat of the moment to all of us.

The Lincoln quote is HIGHLY ironic...the precedent he set by demanding "war powers" that included dictatorial control over the government in a time of war led to the worst erosion of our Constitutional rights ever, and, ultimately, the US Patriot Act.

I belive they may be...again. When we went over the spanking issue, they kept saying time and time again, "But spanking is the only thing that works to get their attention". They're spanking the autistic child? TERRIBLE! And the child with ADD isn't going to learn anything faster by being spanked. ...

firemonkey;

Let's not turn this into a "slam Gideon" thread, shall we? You posted points, I posted counterpoints; that was it. I'm as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours.

Specifically, Amendment 14, Section 1 (emphasis mine): Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the priv...

I can also point you to pro-spanking advocates, such as Dr. James Dobson. While he may be controversial, his credentials equal or exceed those of every expert cited in your links, firemonkey. Just because someone posts links it doesn't mean they support the information. It's just a link. Agreed. I ...
