something interesting! from the House Ways and Means Commit

Postby tommixx » Sat Jul 15, 2006 5:06 pm

C.P.S is targeting specific families with limited set budgets, where child removal is commonly practiced for personal financial gain.


Statement of Cynthia Huckelberry, Redlands, California, and Sushanna Khamis, Yucaipa, California

OVERVIEW OF NEGATIVE IMPACT RELATED TO THE CURRENT CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE PROGRAM/REVISED:

Child Protective Services was designed to protect children and aid families that are in need of assistance in order to maintain the family unit. Unfortunately, today we are finding that C.P.S is targeting specific families with limited set budgets, where child removal is commonly practiced for personal financial gain. The lack of compassion exhibited by C.P.S caseworkers towards the impoverished children that they serve, further devalues their lives in the eyes of these caseworkers. Thus indicating, that a lack of understanding and caring related to the circumstances of these financially challenged families, creates further dissention, prejudicing these C.P.S workers from the very people they serve.

Within this document, the information provided will serve as an insight into the true source of the problems that plagues C.P.S today. Also, it will provide possible solutions that may be utilized to best serve a new restructured Child Protective Service Agency.

HOW C.P.S LEGALLY REMOVES CHILDREN FORM PARENTAL CUSTODY

C.P.S systematically removes children from their families, whom do not meet the criteria for removal, through vague and ambiguous interpretation of their own codes and policy and procedures. They are able to operate in this manner by selecting specific target groups.

The target groups that C.P.S has tagged are the poor, disabled, elderly, and the undereducated. Parents/guardians unfamiliar with the law, with limited or no financial means to secure impartial unbiased legal representation, blindly trust the courts. Therefore Child Protective Service is able to manipulate the court system to secure foster care or adoption status of these children for profit.

Example: Each child placed in foster care has an annual value of $30,000.

More monies are available, up to $150,000 dollars per child, for those that meet the special needs criteria. After 24 months- during the concurrent foster care /adoption process, placement becomes final, where upon an $8,000 dollar bonus is dispersed to the county from the State. This bonus money is then divided amongst individuals that enabled the adoption process to be completed. This is not necessarily a positive solution for these children, but a personal financial gain to workers. Thus, this leads us to believe that some of the decisions made by C.P.S officials serve only as a means to enhance their personal budgets.

Upon removal, C.P.S creates a plan for reunification that is designed to promote the family’s failure. These case plans do not allow the families the time needed to comply nor do they have the financial resources needed to meet the court assigned criteria. Unbeknownst to the families, the courts, lawyers, and C.P.S workers falsely interject foster care criteria when family criteria should be utilized. Workers may also place long-term program demands on the parents that purposely overrun the 24-month time period.

This then allows the state to complete the adoption process to outside individuals.

In other cases, failure to protect –WIC 300b was cited to obtain removal of the children, when the custodial parents acted protectively, in accordance to the law, after a crime was committed against one of their children. Currently all children from these cases remain in “protective custody” under the authority of C.P.S.

FAMILY COURT CUSTODY REMOVAL - PARENT ALIENATION SYNDROME

Let it be known, that Family Court officials regularly remove custody of children from one parent to another (usually mother to father), citing parent alienation syndrome. C.P.S agrees to serve as the tool to enable custody transfer, a corrupt process observed by the FBI. Where, in truth, caseworkers are never allowed to testify in family court under the cloak of C.P.S authority, due to possible misuse or conflict of interest related to the right to privacy laws. FBI Agent/Lawyer Brenda Atkinson- San Francisco can verify this information by calling her at (415) 553-7400.

Child Protective Service also submits false documentation so as to provide a supportive basis necessary to substantiate their decisions. Thus the truth is purposely obstructed altered or omitted to justify case plans.

In many cases, C.P.S has failed to investigate additional outside reports from various professionals and agencies such as children’s physicians, police agencies, school system, etc.

WHY DOES CPS SYSTEMATICALLY REMOVE CHILDREN FROM THEIR FAMILIES AND PLACE THEM IN FOSTER CARE?

Since Clinton enacted the adoption and Safe Families act in 1997, this has lead to widespread corruption within the child Protective Services Agency and outlying neighboring agencies. By systematically removing children from predominantly poor families, C.P.S is able to secure foster care/ adoption status for these children with little or no parental encumbrance.

Thus C.P.S victimizes those families that have no means available, to properly investigate C.P.S corrupt activities directed at their family.

Since Federal and state matching funds generate the budget for C.P.S, the single means utilized to elevate the budget is to increase foster care and adoption caseloads.

Bonus incentives for adoptions are currently $8,000 per child. $4,000 is given to the foster parents and another $4,000 is placed in a general fund, to reward workers for completing their job duties. Workers in this county, state that they do not personally financially benefit from this fund. Thus it leads us to believe, that other neighboring agencies are benefiting form this fund, in return for deceptive practices that support C.P.S decisions.

BABY TRAFFICKING

False Allegations of drug abuse have been logged against mothers and their newborn infants as a means to place these infants into protective custody. The hospital staff has allowed C.P.S to remove infants (a hospital violation) prior to verification of blood and urine drug screen tests. C.P.S is mandated to secure verification of drug allegations via blood and urine results, prior to removing the newborn infant from the hospital. All cases known to us resulted negative for the mother and the newborn, but these infants were never returned, and were adopted outside of kinship.

In the past year, the FBI has arrested and imprisoned C.P.S workers who were actively involved in baby trafficking for profit. These C.P.S workers knowingly abducted infants from the hospital where they in turn networked them into legal adoption agencies. Augustus Fennerty, FBI director for Crimes against Children (Washington D.C) can verify this information. (202) 324-3000

CHILD SEX TRADE INDUSTRY

Southern California FBI District has videotape recorded CPS workers placing foster care children onto planes via LAX, destination Europe for child sex trade industry. This can be verified through Ted Gunderson, (retired) FBI Director Southern California (310) 477-6565.

SEXUAL VICTIMIZATION IN FOSTER CARE

For the families in relation to our group in San BernardinoCounty, it has come to our attention while comparing similarities, that approximately half the children in foster care have been molested.

These children were not sexually abused by their parents, but by the foster fathers or others in the foster home. It was also noted that these foster homes are still operating in the same capacity prior to complaints, without any investigation into these allegations. C.P.S officials were made aware of these accusations by the children, but failed to follow through with a criminal investigation.

In conclusion, Child Protective Service is nothing more than an “oasis’’ for child molesters, to make a profit, while at the same time committing a crime, only to be protected by a malignant system that delivers a never ending supply of victims

SYSTEMATIC FRAUDULENT MANEUVERS UTILIZED TO ENHANCE C.P.S BUDGET

* C.P.S manufactures multiple nonexistent /fictitious abuse case scenarios to offset true statistical abuse case information.

* C.P.S concurrently processes these children from foster care to adoption, in order to obtain perverse monetary incentives in the form of bonuses.

* C.P.S provides a market to neighboring agencies and the courts (commissioners, psychologists, monitors, court mandated behavioral class instructors, court appointed legal counsel), in order for them to financially benefit from the foster care/adoption system.

* C.P.S victimizes innocent impoverished families, draws them into a corrupt system to utilize their children as pawns for commerce.

MALICIOUS OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES

* C.P.S is utilized by family court officials, as an adverse tool to extricate children from one parent to the other, with reference to “parent alienation syndrome”.

* Where, in truth, caseworkers are never allowed to testify in family court under the cloak of C.P.S authority, due to possible misuse or conflict of interest related to the right to privacy laws.

* C.P.S utilizes coercive measures to persuade parents to submit to statements of prior alleged abuse, when these actions were nonexistent. In other words, forcing desperate parents to “plea bargain” to a C.P.S fabricated crime, for the return of their children from foster care.

* C.P.S fabricates portions of investigations, where such duties have never been physically performed, to purposely mislead or direct a case.

* C.P.S knowingly abandons children into foster care, conscious of the fact that some foster care parents and or individuals in the home physically and sexually abuse the children in their protective custody.

* C.P.S intentionally fails to prosecute parents accused of child abuse, since in the majority of cases, no initial crime has been committed.

* C.P.S represents themselves in positive personas, by omitting, altering, and falsifying documents, so as to mislead the public and or government of their true actions as listed above. Thereby publicly grandstanding, displaying an inaccurate social martyrdom for the well being of children.

* C.P.S ignores crimes committed in foster care, such as the atrocious acts of unexplained deaths.

* C.P.S fails to question these individuals for their abusive conduct, whereby, if it were not a foster care parent, these individuals would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

SHOULD CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE BE RESTRUCTURED?

The police should determine if a child has a true need for protection from his parents, since child abuse is a criminal offence. Thus, C.P.S should be incorporated with Crimes against Children Units that are currently located within police, sheriffs and FBI agencies.

The merging of the two would reduce the amount of false allegations reported, since complaints made to a police unit is a criminal offence. Also, the police have the training and resources needed to conduct a thorough investigation. This allows them to determine that if a crime has been committed that warrants the need for foster care.

A parent/guardian under the suspicion of the crime “Child Abuse” would meet the criteria for removal. This would activate the foster care system. Only then would the foster care system be utilized as a response to a possible or suspected crime.

Thus in turn, this would eliminate the unnecessary utilization of the foster care system that has been grossly misused in the past. Unwarranted victimization of children and their families would be greatly reduced and soaring costs would be contained. This would minimize the number of future cases that fall through the cracks and get lost in the system.

WHAT ROLE SHOULD THE SOCIAL WORKERS PLAY IN THE NEW CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE?

* All caseworkers must have a bachelor’s degree in social work from an accredited college.

* All states must create bachelor level licensing for social workers.

* All workers must have a current license to work within any state or county in the United States with reciprocity.

* All social workers must have a preceptor for at least three months prior to individual casework.

WHO SHOULD BE A MEMBER OF THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE TEAM WITHIN THE CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN UNITS?

Other members from various agencies should be inclusive to this unit, since they bring their specific expertise to complete a proper investigation. It is our opinion that the following individuals who should comprise this team are as stated: Registered Nurse, School Principal, Detective, and Social Worker.

SHOULD AN OUTSIDE AGENCY SYSTEMATICALLY REVIEW THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE TEAM’S PERFORMANCE?

All agencies must have an outside quality control board that monitors case investigations on a random basis and when requested by the public. This Board must include members similar to the Child Protective Service team, with the addition of an individual from the public. No member may be employed more than three years, to maintain the integrity of the boards’ unbiased decisions.

SHOULD WE MAINTAIN A CHILD ABUSE INDEX LIST?

The child abuse index list shall be maintained only when an individual has been prosecuted and convicted by a court of law for a crime against a child. Today’s said list shall be destroyed, so as to prevent harm to those currently listed who have been accused of a crime against a child, but that have never been prosecuted or convicted. And, children should never be placed on any list that would categorize them in an adverse manner, such as this.

SHOULD THERE BE NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATED TO FOSTER CARE?

There should be a limited number of children allowed to be placed in any single home under foster care, including adoption. No single family shall be allowed to adopt or provide foster care to more than two children at any time. The only exception shall be when siblings number more than two and are placed in the same single dwelling. This will eliminate the financial incentive for monetary gain related to housing foster children and adoptions.

To our Honorable U.S. House of Representatives,

It is unfortunate that Child Protective Service officials have mislead the government into believing, that increased funding is necessary to solve the multitude of problems that encompass C.P.S. This agency is utilizing the funding issue as the scapegoat for their problems, when in actuality the workers themselves, the lack of their personal accountability, are the source of the problem. Further funding will not solve C.P.S’S current crisis, only the restructuring of this agency will provide a solution.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Huckelberry

Yes, we have to find their weakest Point, which is their intelligence! They don't know anything about anything else, and surely they don't read the whole CPS Manual! That's something we can use against them. Quote for Quote out of the lovely handy Book against them.

You take away what's supposed to be theirs, they will be clueless and defenseless. They can't think outside the Box, so that's another thing we can use against them. They are brainwashed to be Child Savers, and thinks everyone is an Abuser. They have to follow the Criterias that were given to them. But it is for the BEST INTERESTS OF THE AGENCY, surely not for the best interests of the said CHILD! That's something we can mention to them. They are having trouble with this now and pulling these statements out of their Pamphlet. :roll:

They are also taking out the comment "We believe in keeping Families TOGETHER and lessen the interference into Family Life."

They are recanting that comment!

Just to show that they are wrong, and they DO keep them SEPERATE and tear them apart. That is what they DO!

Just like they twists the facts, lies about YOU in their Reports, we can do the same about their Pamphlet~! Their so called "Mission Statement".

I will give you all a hint about the best way to deal with child protective services!.... ( Or any other bureaucracy for that matter.) :D

HIT them in their wallet! how you say?... very easy! as an old reporter one thing I learned a long time ago...

Follow the money! find out who controls the money and go after them... :idea:

In a few days' time I'm going to contact a Certain Arizona Senator with whole list of nasty websites, all of them about people who are suffering because of child protective services and if he doesn't do something about the vicious DOG that CPS has become soon his reelection plans are likely to become complicated, very complicated. :twisted:

I know that CPS cooks their Books, abuse the System, abuse the Fundings...so we should demand they pull up their Fiancial Statement and post them on the Newspaper. Just like any City Financial Statement and the City do this annaually on the Newspaper. We can look closely to how much money they make and how much they make off Adoptions...I bet it is in Billions of Dollars. Biggest Money made than spending Billions of Dollars in Iraq. CPS Organizations TOPS that dollar.

Imagine that.

285 Billion and UP for CPS Organizations in USA alone....

200 Billion for Iraq War.

That's ALOT if you might say so.

Two of them has one thing in common which is losing People, Children are dying, Soldiers are dying...loss of People, but they make money off these People. :twisted:

Everything is directed toward Mental Health.

Postby Marina » Sat Jul 15, 2006 8:45 pm

Everything is directed toward Mental Health.

Mental Health services are written into Title IV Social Security funding,
mental health services are written into prevention services and safety plans,
mental health criteria are written into foster care maintenance payments,
mental health services are written into reunification and service plans,
mental health criteria are written into adoption bonuses,
mental health criteria are written into adoption assistance payments,
AND mental health services are written into CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT settlement agreements called CONSENT DECREES.
I found this out when I posted information on Class Action Lawsuits.

The CURE for all this is DRUGS.
http://psyweb.com/TreatmentOf/Pharm/PharmDepress.jsp

Based on Medicaid funded mental health DIAGNOSIS during "psychological evaluations"
DSM-4 Multiaxial System
http://psyweb.com/Mdisord/DSM_IV/jsp/dsm_iv.jsp

So you can see who is behind this, the DRUG LOBBY, collecting tons of social security money taken out of YOUR paycheck each week.

Lawsuit link

http://www.cwla.org/advocacy/consentdecrees.pdf


Notice that for Alabama, Arizona and California, the contact information is given as the Bazelon Center for Mental Health.

Notice that for other states, it appears that Child Advocacy groups are involved in the class action lawsuit.

And for some, the contact information is the State social services agency itself or the Attorney General !!!!

Just about ALL of the settlement agreements call for MORE mental health services and MORE caseworkers.

I wonder how many petitions out there were posted by the government itself, to get more money ???

page 23
"Mental Health Care
Twelve decrees have addressed needed improvements in the provision of mental health services to children."

page 27
Caseloads
The caseloads of child welfare agency workers was addressed in fourteen decrees.

page 30
Parent’s Opportunity to be Heard
West Virginia is the only state in which a decree has addressed a parent’s opportunity to be heard in court. The decree recognized that the failure to provide a preliminary pretaking hearing upon reasonable notice so as to afford the parent and child a prior opportunity to be heard was violative of the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

- - - - - - - - -

There WAS a real problem with parents not being able to get Medicaid funding for Autistic children at home,
so they had to put the children in foster care to get need medical care.
So that is another viewpoint of more mental health services,
but you can bet that they ram it down your throat even if you don't need it.

The year that this was reported was 2004 and nothing has been done to correct the system as of 2006.

It does not mean a tinkers blank to them. One can report and report and it means nothing to any of our politicians. Money and fear speak to our weak politicians. These two things are what make them deaf to our plight and they will continue to be deaf until hell freezes over as far as I am concerned because both of these conditions are instilled so deeply into the roots of our system.

Marina you gave some interesting insight to this by showing how it is all linked again to the drug companies. The drug companies speak in many ways in this country. They even own the medical schools our drs. come from.

According to Dr. Lorraine Day, she is a controversial person only because the drug companies attack her from all sides, the medical schools texts books are written by the drug companies. The schools will not receive funding from them unless they teach what the drug companies want.

Tommixx hope it goes as planned for your senator.

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.

The state and federal government employees Retirement Funds are "invested" in the stock market, mutual funds, or whatever. I think I heard that in Virginia, if the tobacco industry is attacked and their stocks fall, then the Virginia Retirement fund could go bankrupt.

I have no doubt that most or all retirement funds are tied up in Drug Industry stock. This is in addition to campaign financing by big lobbies.

I already learned a little about the drug industry when I did 6 months of research for a relative, who had to have hip-replacement on both hips, from taking Prednison for 1 week. He researched Prednisone for 1 week before he took the first pill. He was in pain for a solid year, could hardly walk, went to every doctor he could find, then went back to the doctor who prescribed it for a sore shoulder. That doctor knew immediately what it was and what caused it.

The terminology keeps changing as you go along. He was diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis, but many hours of research revealed that FDA calls it Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis. This is a well-known condition. Testimony from several groups at FDA hearings is posted on the FDA website, such as osteoporosis groups, arthritis groups, etc.

They testified the problem is epidimic. They even have a pill to control glucocorticoid-induced-osteoporosis. It is called FOSAMAX. The probelm was epidimic in children who took oral steroids. That is why they have inhalers, etc. now. Yet cortisone-containing ointments, such as hydrocortisone, are sold over the counter and are accessible to chilren in our homes.

I think the Nevada legislatue passed a resolution about this, because the Feds wouldn't do anything.

If a teen-ager has trouble in school, they call it educational neglect. They can't get a drivers license if they are not in school, and they can't get a job if they don't have a driver's license. A lot of boys want to WORK at 16, not analyze Shakespeare. My son worked because we had homeschool, and nobody checked up on the number of hours he worked. My kids bought their own cars, their own car insurance and their own clothes.

My son was married, had a house, had a child, and was a substitute teacher in HVAC at the technical school, for adult students who had their own businesses, without a GED, by the age of 22, the time when other kids his age are getting out of college and looking for a job at McDonalds. He owned 2 houses now at age 25.

When a 16 year-old truant is taken into foster care, they are diagnosed with a disability because they won't go to school, so social services can petition to become the representative payee for Supplementary Security Income. Then they are locked up and doped up with drugs and become drug addicts.

That is what is happening to my friend's son, who is 16. His mom lost the social security he was getting, which paid for their living expenses, and now she is homeless. She is living with a man in a nearby trailer. This man doesn't have electricity, I heard. My friend's grown daughter and her boyfriend are living there also.

When my friend sold her trailer, and paid off the lot rent she owed, she had a few hundred dollars left over, which disappeared in a few days, I heard. Now I hear that the 23 yr old daughter had a stroke a couple of weeks ago and is paralyzed on her right side. The person who told me this suspects that drugs may have been involved. That would explain where the money went.

This girl and her older brother were taken into foster care temporarily when they were little and became drug addicts from taking Thorizine. The brother was set up and served time for dealing. The daughter had her 2 children taken away last year, and my friend resisted the social worker who was taking away her grandchildren. As retaliation they took my friend's younger children and have them now.

My friend really has had a cronic problem with alcohol, which has affected her family, and because of the family drama, it affected me and my family personally. I didn't know where my grown daughter was for 2 months last year, and I couldn't contact her. She contacted me twice a week. So in that sense, I know how other people on this site feel. My stomach goes in knots just thinking about it.

The grown son was let out after serving 4 years, came home to a poor girlfriend and child, owing child support for all that time. He can't get a driver's license because he owes on back traffic tickets, so he has to stay at home and babysit for his daughter while the girlfriend goes to work. She kicks him out when he tries to get painting jobs around the nieghborhood, and whatever other drama there was, he moves in with his mom, my friend.

This was last spring, about the time the daughter had her second child. The daughter and boyfriend had come home to mom, after living with no electricity in a county some distance away. So there were 9 or 10 people in the trailer, and the social worker wouldn't let the new baby come back there from the hospital. The boyfriend got the teenager in trouble with the law.

Social services didn't help this family when the older children were little, didn't help them when they were involved with the justice system, and aren't helping them now. As Dr. Phil would say, "How is that working for you?" Not very well, but I don't know what the solution is.

I took my friend for her visitation with the children, and they were thrilled to see me. I have to admit, they seemed to be thriving. My friend admitted it also, and is glad for that. I had to admire her for how she handled herself, because her mother had died a few days before, and she was in the process of packing her things to put into storage, and she was taking and returning calls for the sale of the trailer. And she had to beg me for money for her hamburger at the meeting place. She said she was so hungry.

Her job was not as stable as I had heard, and with all the drama, she had to take time off. She chose to live with the man with no electricity instead of family friends, so she would still have some control over her lifestyle. The nice lady probably wouldn't tolerate the visits with the boyfriend, cigarettes, beer and cats, while living with her.

The review hearing is in the next couple of weeks. It is not looking good. She doesn't have suitable family, and if her nice family friends were going to step in, it seems I would have heard about it by now.

Thanks for letting me ramble on. I think everyone here has their own drama, which is probably unsuitable for this forum, but everyone is nice and supportive of other people's problems.

The book "Evidence of Harm" which is about autism caused by mercury in the childhood vaccines, really shows the struggles that families have had with congress. I did a search and you can get a lot of information on the drug lobby and politics.

I feel like all that is beyond the scope of this forum, but here is what to search, to get leads for pro-family people in politics:

congress + "evidence of harm"

here is just on example

http://216.109.125.130/search/cache?p=c ... 1&.intl=us
witnessed first-hand the inner workings of Congress, the White House and powerful Federal agencies like the FDA, CDC and NIH."


David Kirby, the author of the book,

" and witnessed first-hand the inner workings of Congress, the White House and powerful Federal agencies like the FDA, CDC and NIH."

I sent Mr. Kirby an email complimenting him on the book, and he actually replied!

The research in the book is absolutely awesome. I should try to get a job with him. LOL

The critical turning point of the struggle occurred when somebody videotaped congressional staff being nasty to an autistic child and his mother, and calling them freaks. I would like to see foster care alumni marching to Washington and having politicians calling them freaks in front of a tv camera.
