They’re Coming For Your Kids!
http://www.ilanamercer.com/TheyreComingForYourKids.htm
Imagine: One day you’re frolicking in the open air on a large compound,
doing your daily chores, and feasting on hearty homegrown fare; the next
you’re gagging on a diet of T&A courtesy of MTV, and fast-food
compliments of your fat foster mom. As the make****ft mom hollers at you
to swallow your zombifying meds—the Texas foster care system is
notorious for pumping its charges full of psychotropic drugs—her flaccid
live-in lover eyes you lustily.
As I write, many of the kids kidnapped by Texas rangers from the
Yearning for Zion ranch are being scattered across the state to
far-flung group homes and shelters. In the land of the free and home of
the brave hundreds of children can be rounded up and removed from their
families based on a hunch or a hoax. No hue and cry will ensue—not from
professional civil libertarians, nor from members of the unwatchful dogs
in the media, or from presidential candidates vying to uphold—or is it
just to hold—the Constitution.
How about it Hillary, Barack? Have you a message of hope for the
children seized from the sect known as the Fundamentalist Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? Of course you don’t. During an
election season it would take a village idiot to defend the quaint idea
of the autonomous family. To do that would involve an implicit retreat
from the position that children are first and foremost wards of the
state, and their parents nothing but low-level civil servants who must
obey the state’s child-rearing directives, or else.
The-state-as-parent is a leftist legal doctrine that has been eagerly
embraced by the rigor-mortis riddled Right.
Whether they are “plural” or single, Wicca or just weird, bohemian or
bourgeoisie—parents should take the kids and skedaddle when they hear
that phrase "in the best interests of the child." It is simply a license
for the state to substitute its own judgment for that of the parents.
Today it’s polygamist parents—Kool-Aid drinkers is Bill O’Reilly’s
favored sobriquet. Tomorrow it’ll be the offspring of home-schoolers or
global warming deniers.
The “Texas Department of Child Abduction,” which writer William N.
Grigg
“sometimes wittily refers to as the Department of Protective and Family
Services,” acted on an anonymous call from a shady character named
Rozita Swinton. Rozita was released by the Texas ruffians after being
briefly detained. The innocent victims of her mischief-making are being
held indefinitely, separated from their mothers.
So how about it? Am I free to call the police anon, sic them on someone
I dislike and then sit back and watch the show? Apparently so. At least
in the kangaroo court of Judge Barbara L. Walther, for whom a tip from a
complainant who never materialized constitutes probable cause.
The rules of evidence have been revised in post-constitutional America.
If you thought that wrenching babes from their moms ought to be
predicated on the testimony of a competent, credible witness, you were
wrong. And you were utterly insane if you imagined the defendants ought
to get to confront the witness against them in a trial before being
punished.
That Sixth Amendment stuff is so yesterday.
In post-constitutional America the right to be free of unreasonable
searches and seizures certainly no longer applies uniformly. Ditto due
process. Creepy people, for whom the goons in government have been
gunning, are as good as convicted criminals. In the case of the FLDS
cult’s kids, the burden of proof has been ****fted from the state to its
victims.
Rest assured, if these children have not yet been forced into premature
***, they most certainly will be once they hit the foster-care circuit.
The nation’s foster parents, bless them, are not known for being
upstanding professionals who collect strays out of kindness. Fagin on
welfare is more like it. The famed character from Charles Dickens’
“Oliver Twist” also offered his young charges a “free meal” and
“lodgings for nothing.”
Nancy Grace (who pimped out her infant twins on TV) and O’Reilly have
fulfilled their providential purpose in this case. Both self-styled
child champions have been evangelizing for state overreach. I’ve given
up on looking for clarity of thought among TV’s tomfools. But whatever
happened to compassion?
Children in foster care are more likely to be ***ually and physically
abused, even killed. I will say though, just to be “fair and
balanced,”
that only four children died in the care of the state of Texas in 2006.
Whatever are your voyeuristic fantasies about the *** romps on a
polygamist commune, of this you can be certain: Relative to the loose,
licentious, libertine and precarious foster-care environment, the
children seized in the raid on the FLDS property have led a sheltered,
chaste life. The gravest abuse still awaits them.
Misplaced compassion is common in sentimental, sensation-driven America.
The country cried with Ellen DeGeneres as the comedian slobbered on
camera, and begged the “Mutts and Moms” canine adoption agency to
return
to friends a terrier the agency had removed.
Will no member of the American Idiocracy shed a tear for tots torn from
their loving mothers? I realize the FLDS females are quaint, demure (not
to mention slim and un****ty!), and don’t occupy pages on myspace.com.
Still, have a heart, won’t you?

An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and
the Child Protection "INDUSTRY"
Child Protective Services Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of CPS.
every parent should read the free handbook from
connecticut dcf watch...
http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com
Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US
These numbers come from The National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect in Wa****ngton. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS
Perpetrators of Maltreatment
Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59
***ual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13
Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12
Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological Parents 1.5
Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that
are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per
100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and ***ual abuse
and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the
citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold
parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY
government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and
death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more
human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which
they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that
they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when
children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a
bunch of social workers.
THIS IS AMERICA'S HIDDEN HOLOCAUST
Currently Child Protective Services violates more constitutionally
guaranteed liberties & civil rights on a daily basis then all other
agencies combined, Including the National Security agency/Central
intelligence agency wiretaping programs…

A recent study has found that 12-18 months after leaving foster care:
30% of the nation’s homeless are former foster children.
27% of the males and 10% of the females had been incarcerated
33% were receiving public assistance
37% had not finished high school
2% receive a college degree
50% were unemployed
Children in foster care are three to six times more likely than children
not in care to have emotional, behavioral and developmental problems,
including conduct disorders, depression, difficulties in school and
impaired social relation****ps. Some experts estimate that about 30% of
the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various
studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care
tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school
compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their
education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment
than the general population.

80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system.
The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn
of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child
psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should
just be blown up.
http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991
Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s
foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent
housing.
This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would
have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in
the first place.
