This is from the The Barton Child Law and Policy Clinic of the Emory University School of Law

SB 420 or the "Care of a Grandchild Act" amends Title 19 to create a "Power of Attorney for the Care of a Grandchild". The bill would allow parents to delegate authority to grandparents and great-grandparents without court intervention. The power of attorney would allow the grandparent to enroll the child in school, obtain medical care for the child, and provide for the child financially. Creates a pilot program within the Department of Human Resources to provide financial assistance for grandparents raising grandchildren known as a Grandchildren's Caregiver Subsidy. The Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony regarding this bill on Thursday, February 9, but after numerous questions were raised, Chairman Smith offered to work with the sponsor to improve the bill.

This proposed bill was withdrawn on 3/27/06 and recommitted to rules. Which means more than likely it will be proposed again in their Jan. 2007 session. But I want to show you what has gone on since the original proposal.

Here is the substitute proposal. If you notice in the first proposal nothing was mentioned about cps. However, in this substitutue proposal they mention cps.

(2) Hardship shall not include the granting of a power of attorney for the care of a minor child for the purpose of subverting an investigation of the child́s welfare by the Department of Human Resources or other agency responsible for such investigations.

This substitute bill will be the one to go to sessions in 2007.

I find the time line of these proposals uncanny. We all know that cps is on our fourm reading and some do post. The original one was proposed in Jan. 2005; the substitute one was proposed in 2006.

I have often said one day they would catch on and we would no longer be able to use the POA. If this bill passes then GA would be the first state that I know of that has included that you cannot use it for the intention of keeping your children out of the hands of cps. As they have so harshly stated it, "subverting an investigation ."

Now all of this leads to what I have been saying all along, you can use a POA to protect your children. It is a legal document that cannot be disputed. There is nothing in the POA's so far that state a child/ren already has to be with the guardian. So therefore it is legal, if your state does not have it in their law to prevent use when it comes to cps then you can hand it to them if they come to your door.

GA recognizes that fact, so therefore they are taking steps to prevent a parent from using it as protection for their child. So, if a POA is not a legal way to protect your child/ren then why are they running to propose a law that states one cannot use it in regards to cps.

The next best thing a parent can do is do a court guardianship. We have done a co-guardianship through the courts

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.
