POLICIES RELATED TO CHILDREN THAT YOUR LAWYER SHOULD UPHOLD

Postby Dazeemay » Tue Oct 25, 2005 7:21 pm

There is every policy one can think of here.

For instance Kinship Care.

KINSHIP CARE LEGAL REFORM
FEBRUARY 1999

RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association encourages states and territories to establish guidelines for courts, child welfare service agencies, and participating attorneys to follow when abused, neglected, and abandoned children are placed in kinship care, and for use in the provision of services to kinship providers for such children, based upon the following:

1. Conducting an aggressive search for maternal and paternal kin and consider kinship placements as early as possible after the child becomes known to the child welfare agency and/or the court;

2. Carefully screening potential kinship providers before any kinship placement, just as agencies do with potential foster parents;

3. Thoroughly educating kinship providers regarding current and future social and custodial expectations, and the legal permanency possibilities of the placement which include subsidized adoption and subsidized legal guardianship;

4. Providing notice to and the opportunity for kinship providers to participate in the legal/judicial process, and help them to obtain legal representation;

5. Providing financial support, child health and mental health care coverage, other government assistance, and other resources to kinship providers throughout the term of the placement, including aid and services after a permanent placement is legally finalized; and

6. Encouraging state, local, and territorial governments to enact medical consent, standby guardianship, subsidized permanent guardianship, and open (cooperative) adoption laws.

FURTHER RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association encourages state, local and territorial bar associations to develop and support pro bono and low-cost legal services projects for kinship care providers, whether the providers have been involved with a child welfare agency or have otherwise assumed care of the child.

This is not legal advice;hopefully wisdom

To put it in simple terms…when the authorities ARE the perpetrators and the perpetrators ARE the authorities, there is no earthly justice or recourse, at the end of the day (unless the American people wake up).

Therefore, those who have achieved the highest levels of power seek to ‘enjoy’ the most grievous and extreme injustices. For many of those in the highest circles of power, the greatest statement of power is to perpetrate the greatest possible injustice…the savage, brutal traumatization and abuse of an innocent child.
