Permanent termination of parental rights has been described as "the family law equivalent of the death penalty in a criminal case." In re Smith (1991), 77 Ohio App.3d 1, 16, 601 N.E.2d 45, 54. Therefore, parents "must be afforded every procedural and substantive protection the law allows."

A CHILD WELFARE TIMELINE, 1961 TO DATE

My Daughter - The Future Naomi Wolf SuperMom

9/2/2010, 3:13 am
People's Cube (Satire)

Like feminist Naomi Wolf, I want my daughter to grow up to get a good job, and be a good provider for her children, and a husband, if she gets married. I want her to feel she can have whatever career she wants, whether it's as a hooker, a stripper, or an attorney. or CPS agent

At least she won't have to deal with the kids during the day, because she will have dumped them in some kind of daytime orphanage day care center, preferably run by the government. After all, it's never too early to start teaching children about sex education, condoms and socialism. I can't wait for all mothers to give up the raising of their own children to the government. After all, it is all part of the big plan of the Progressive World of Next Tuesday™ . That is what a true feminist like me wants. Nothing irks me more than seeing a woman have to play the role of being stay-at-home mom. FULL STORY

Evidence-based vaccinations: A scientific look at the missing science behind flu season vaccines
Thursday, September 02, 2010
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

Do influenza vaccines really work?

It's a reasonable question. A rigorous look at the best scientific evidence, however, reveals that influenza vaccines are useless in 99% of the people who get vaccinated.

And that's if you believe the vaccine industry's own studies. In reality, the real rate of effectiveness is likely much lower.

Today I bring you a detailed analysis of the available scientific evidence which reaches some rather startling conclusions:

1) Influenza vaccines don't reduce hospitalizations and they don't reduce lost work days due to sickness.

2) Influenza vaccines don't stop influenza transmission.

3) The evidence in favor of influenza vaccines working at all is quite slim: 100 people must be vaccinated to reduce influenza symptoms in just one person.

There's more (much more) to this fascinating story. Read the details here

Speaking of vaccines, young girls are now dead in India after a vaccine trial there. Read what went wrong

Former Boise cop who sexually assaulted infants sentenced
Stephen Young

Story Updated: Sep 1, 2010 at 9:31 PM PDT

BOISE, Idaho- A former Boise Police officer charged with sexually abusing several infants has been sentenced.
Multimedia

Stephen Young was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Wednesday. He'll have to serve 12 and a half years before he's eligible for parole. Young changed his plea in June from not guilty on four counts of lewd conduct to guilty of one count of sexual abuse of a minor.

That charge was for a victim between 14 and 18 months old.

Officials say Young sexually assaulted several infants or toddlers. They were all known to Young but they did not live in his home. The sexual contact happened in various homes in Ada County, police say.

In court on Wednesday, Ada County prosecutors said there was likely up to 20 possible victims.

"He absolutely has no idea the havoc and the confusion and the trauma that he has unleashed on the people that call him husband, father, grandfather and friend," says the Ada County Prosecutor.

In court parents of victims read statements and said they don't believe Young will ever truly admit how many children he molested.

Young also addressed the court and apologized to his family and to the community.

"The words I'm sorry are not enough to describe how I feel. I wish I had the power to heal the many hearts that I had broken," says Young  FULL STORY and video

Yanno, I really could not care less about his "apology".  Serve 12 years.  This is justice?

Child’s Ordeal Shows Risks of Psychosis* Drugs for Young
Chris Bickford for The New York Times
By DUFF WILSON
Published: September 1, 2010

OPELOUSAS, La.- At 18 months, Kyle Warren started taking a daily antipsychotic drug on the orders of a pediatrician trying to quell the boy’s severe temper tantrums.

Thus began a troubled toddler’s journey from one doctor to another, from one diagnosis to another, involving even more drugs. Autism, bipolar disorder, hyperactivity, insomnia, oppositional defiant disorder. The boy’s daily pill regimen multiplied: the antipsychotic Risperdal, the antidepressant Prozac, two sleeping medicines and one for attention-deficit disorder. All by the time he was 3.

He was sedated, drooling and overweight from the side effects of the antipsychotic medicine. Although his mother, Brandy Warren, had been at her “wit’s end” when she resorted to the drug treatment, she began to worry about Kyle’s altered personality. “All I had was a medicated little boy,” Ms. Warren said. “I didn’t have my son. It’s like, you’d look into his eyes and you would just see just blankness.”

Today, 6-year-old Kyle is in his fourth week of first grade, scoring high marks on his first tests. He is rambunctious and much thinner. Weaned off the drugs through a program affiliated with Tulane University that is aimed at helping low-income families whose children have mental health problems, Kyle now laughs easily and teases his family.

Ms. Warren and Kyle’s new doctors point to his remarkable progress - and a more common diagnosis for children of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - as proof that he should have never been prescribed such powerful drugs in the first placeFULL STORY

Restricting Parental Access to the Classroom

In April, 2002, Minnesota parents concerned about curriculum content in a freshman class at Big Lake High School were invited to sit in on the class and see the content for themselves. That is, until principal Darrel Easterly found out. Suddenly, the morning of their scheduled visits, several moms learned that they had been banned from the school due to “privacy laws.” Mary Stultz, one of the moms, was stunned. “I was in total shock and spent the morning talking to a lawyer,” Stultz told writer Laura Adelmann at the time.

Another mom called Big Lake Superintendent Bob Lageson, who assured her it “should never happen again.” Yet, within weeks, the local school board was meeting to discuss adopting a policy requiring parents to make an appointment three days in advance of a visit, and granting to the principal wide discretion to prevent parents from entering the building even then.

After an unprecedented public outcry, the school board softened the three day requirement for parents of students to merely “as much advance notice as possible” – but they passed the new restriction. They even granted to the principal authority to detain unauthorized visitors until law enforcement arrives, citing criminal trespass laws.

Today, the current student handbook (pp.7-8) declares that “Big Lake High School does not allow students to bring guests or visitors to classes,” which includes parents. Even more importantly, the events that unfolded in Big Lake have played out numerous other times as well, throughout the country. And the courts have consistently upheld such decisions.

The proposed Parental Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution can halt the erosion of parental rights nation-wide, and restore to parents the right to visit their child and see what is being taught. This will not allow individual parents to shape curriculum for an entire school, but it will allow any parent to remain informed of classroom content, and hopefully to opt their child out of material they find offensive.

Please act to protect the right of concerned parents to monitor their child’s education. Sign the petition and get more information at ParentalRights.org.

Then, please pass this on. Every parent of a public school student needs to know how schools are robbing them of their rights. Forward this email to friends, add the message to your Facebook account, or click here to visit this page online and use the “share” button to add it to virtually any other social network.

Finally, share your own story with us. If you have first-hand experience with a public school ignoring your rights as a parent, please email your account to stories@parentalrights.org.

A CHILD WELFARE TIMELINE, 1961 TO DATE

Could This be the Key Factor Spiking the Rise in ADHD?
Posted By Dr. Mercola | September 01 2010

Close to 1 million children in the United States have potentially been misdiagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -- simply because they are the youngest, and therefore the most immature, in their kindergarten class.

These children are significantly more likely to be prescribed behavior-modifying drugs such as Ritalin. Such inappropriate treatment is particularly troubling because of the unknown impacts of long-term stimulant use on children's health.

According to Science Daily:

“It also wastes an estimated $320 million-$500 million a year on unnecessary medication -- some $80 million-$90 million of it paid by Medicaid”.  FULL STORY

Murdered kids' info should be sealed, votes Assembly/Senate
California's Children

Sparked by a recent leak to the Los Angeles Times from the LA County Department of Children and Family Services, legislation landed on Governor Schwarzenegger’s desk yesterday that will, if signed, result in the permanent sealing of autopsy reports of murdered children. The bill, written by Senate minority leader Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Temecula, (at right), passed a 60-1 vote in the Assembly and a 33-1 vote in the Senate Monday.

The legislation, SB5, allows family members to request that autopsies and other evidence be kept private if a child was killed during a crime. The request can be made only after a conviction.

The California Newspaper Association, which says the reports are important public documents, was the only opposition to the bill.

American Family Rights association would certainly have opposed this bill if we had known about it.  Frankly, we are having trouble imagining why a family would want information sealed on a murdered child. And frankly, we suspect the motivation for this bill to be much less than honorable- especially considering the timing.

Our position is that CPS agents daily commit Federal Crimes-
several of which are Capital crimes, and we would LOVE for them to be called to account for their Color of Law activities.

A boy dies, and again, CPS figures in the story
Josh Brodesky Arizona Daily Star Arizona Daily Star | Posted: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 2:00 pm

CPS is utterly incompetent, malfeasant, pompous and insolent.  They can't prevent crimes, and they have absolutely no success stories.  Anybody that believes these boobs help children is terribly misinformed. CPS is the "Hero of FOOLS" The solution is to make child abuse a CRIME, to be handled by the POLICE, and tried in the REAL criminal court, not the ungodly statute law fraud they are operating.

Parental Alienation:
A Serious and Growing Problem in Family Law Cases

Contributor: Collins & Collins, P.C.
JD Supra August 31, 2010

SUMMARY: Some of the issues facing parents involved in a divorce or paternity action involving child custody are not specific to New Mexico, but occur all over the United States. One such issue, which has become increasingly recognized by family law courts during the last 20 years, is the concept of parental alienation.

Parental alienation is generally discussed in the context of a contested custody dispute, although elements of parental alienation can certainly be found in intact families. When the research about parental alienation first began being published, it focused on situations in which one parent sought to alienate the child from the other parent by doing things like preventing visitation between the child and the other parent and bad-mouthing the other parent to the child. Frequently, one parent would go so far as making false allegations in court to prevent the other parent from seeing the child.

A divorce is a WAR, because one or both marriage partners is a spoiled rotten selfish brat.  OF COURSE the kids are used as weapons.  Don't lose sight of the fact that there are NO rules of evidence in family court- people can make whatever allegations they want.  See the Kristin Ruggiero case-

"...Ruggiero's attempt to set up her ex-husband and use the legal system as a weapon 

...Ruggiero's folly came because claims in criminal court had to be backed up -- unlike in family court where she made repeated claims about ex-husband's behavior.

"Unfortunately for her, we're not in family court anymore,"

And what people seem to miss is that CPS is the ULTIMATE parental alienator, using these same lying character assassination methods in family court.

Foster mom to court for murder hearing
Joy Heaven accused of killing Emily Meno, 5
Updated: Tuesday, 31 Aug 2010, 11:13 PM EDT Published : Tuesday, 31 Aug 2010, 9:50 PM EDT
By Dani Carlson

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - The woman accused of killing her 5-year-old foster daughter is scheduled to be in Kent County court Wednesday morning for a preliminary exam, where a district judge will decide if there is enough evidence to move forward with the felony murder case.

Joy Heaven was charged formally in July with murder while committing child abuse. The Gaines Township woman was responsible for Emily Meno, her special needs foster daughter who died of a traumatic brain injury July 17.

Heaven originally told police that Emily had an epileptic seizure July 15, court documents show. But Emily's autopsy revealed the girl had died from head trauma after being hit with something hard.

Heaven then admitted to becoming frustrated with Emily for wetting her pants and getting in the way. She admitted to shoving Emily so hard, the child flew through the air, landed on her head and lost consciousness for several seconds, the documents say.

Heaven took Emily to a hospital several hours later, where she died after two days.

The prosecution will present its case against Heaven on Wednesday. She is not in jail, as she posted the $10,000 bond in July. If convicted, Heaven faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

I wonder if this is ANOTHER $12,000 a month kid*.  I am willing to bet that her REAL mother wouldn't have killed her and would have taken good care of her for a lot less money.  

Foster Care Population Drops Again
(August 31, 2010)
by Patrick Boyle
Youth Today

New federal data indicate that child welfare reforms are drastically reducing the nation’s foster care population, which fell by 8 percent from 2008 to 2009 and by more than 20 percent since 2002.

There were 423,773 children in foster care at the end of fiscal 2009 (September 2009) – down from about 460,000 a year earlier and from more than 540,000 a decade ago, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. (A year-by-year chart is here.)

Child welfare experts attribute the decline to state and federal reforms aimed at preventing abuse and neglect, keeping children in their homes, placing more children in kinship care, and more quickly reunifying youths with their families after removal from home or permanently placing them for adoption.

“All these efforts combined have really made an impact,” said Terri Braxton, vice president of the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA). “It’s a combination of legislation, wonderful practices and research, and people now doing what they know works.”

Child welfare advocate Richard Wexler, who is routinely at odds with the CWLA, agreed that much of the decline is due to welcomed changes in child welfare practice. “Most encouraging is the fact that, once again, a lot of the decline is being driven by a decline in the number of children taken from their parents in the first place,” said Wexler, executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform.

The foster care population has been dropping since hitting 523,000 in 2002 (save a slight uptick in 2005), according to the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS), which is maintained by the Administration for Children and Families.

 Among the reasons for the overall decline from 2008 to 2009, according to AFCARS data:

* Fewer youths entering the system – 255,000, compared with 274,000.

* More youths adopted – 57,000, compared with 55,000.

* Fewer terminations of parental rights – 70,000, compared with 79,000.

 “The bad news,” Wexler said, “is that there still are far too many children taken and far too many trapped in foster care.”

FDA looks to curb abuse of cough medicine
By MATTHEW PERRONE, AP Business Writer 
August 31, 2010

WASHINGTON – Federal health regulators are weighing restrictions on Robitussin, NyQuil and other cough suppressants to curb cases of abuse that send thousands of people to the hospital each year.

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday posted its review of dextromethorphan, an ingredient found in more than 100 over-the-counter medications that is sometimes abused for its euphoric effects. The practice, dubbed "robotripping," involves taking more than 25 times the recommended dose of a cold medicine and is mainly associated with teenagers.  FULL STORY

Public called to prevent child abuse
Updated: 05:35, Wednesday September 1, 2010
Sky News

Australia- An alarming new study has found only one-third of Australians would call police if a child told them they were being sexually abused.

But most of the 22 thousand people surveyed by the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect believe child abuse is a serious issue.

NAPCAN chief Rosanna Martinello says she's shocked by the findings with 33 thousand Australian children (allegedly) abused or neglected each year.

She says participants were given three scenarios and less than half said they'd definitely act to protect the child by ringing protection authorities or police.

The study results have been released ahead of National Child Protection Week which begins this Sunday on Father's Day.

Perhaps they are sick and tired of the insane witch hunt.  Is it possible that an "abused child" is in less danger where they are at than in government custody?

"As many as 75 percent of all children in foster care, upon leaving the system, will have experienced sexual abuse.  One study by Johns Hopkins University found that the rate of sexual abuse within the foster-care system is more than four times as high as in the general population; in group homes, the rate of sexual abuse is more than 28 times that of the general population." --Sexual Abuse: An Epidemic in Foster Care Settings?

NEWPORT, Tennessee- A neurosurgeon called by the defense in the child abuse trial of a Jefferson City man in Cocke County Circuit Court said Monday that "Shaken Baby Syndrome" does not exist.

Clinical Neurosurgeon Dr. Ronald Uscinski, who was called as an expert witness on the fourth day of the trial by the attorney representing Joshua Isham Henegar, told the criminal court jury that Shaken Baby Syndrome, as it is currently diagnosed, "defies the laws of physics" and cannot occur.

For more details, please see (subscribe to) the latest edition of The Newport Plain Talk.

I and numerous others have maintained for many years that it is impossible to SHAKE a baby hard enough to cause the injuries alleged.  It is much more likely to be VACCINE caused.  Much easier to blame the young, dumb parents.  See one of the earliest editorials I wrote on that subject. Nonetheless, you DO NOT shake a baby.  Does absolutely no good. See my old fatherly advice- New (First Time) Parent?

State hotline taking all child abuse reports
August 31, 2010
Post-Tribune staff report

Effective Monday, all reports of child abuse and neglect in the state will be taken by the Indiana Child Abuse Hotline Network at  (800) 800-5556.

Lake County is the last to transition to the system. Reports will not be accepted at the local level in person or by telephone or fax.

Callers reporting child abuse and neglect will provide the information to a case manager who has been trained to take such calls. All reports will be evaluated to determine if they meet legal sufficiency for assessment
*, officials said. Reports will then be routed to the Lake Division of Children's Services office where they will be assigned to a case manager.

*Do you suppose they are going to try to filter out the EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT (85%) of all calls that are false allegations?  Won't that massively cut down on the number of state kidnappings?  Maybe the Federal Perverse Incentive funding is disappearing?

"There are more than half a million children and youth in the U.S. foster care system today. Studies reveal that children are 11 times more likely to be abused in state care than they are in their own homes, and 7 times more likely to die as a result of abuse in the foster care system."-- John Walsh Show April 16, 2003

"As many as 75 percent of all children in foster care, upon leaving the system, will have experienced sexual abuse.  One study by Johns Hopkins University found that the rate of sexual abuse within the foster-care system is more than four times as high as in the general population; in group homes, the rate of sexual abuse is more than 28 times that of the general population." --Sexual Abuse: An Epidemic in Foster Care Settings? By Orlow, Orlow & Orlow July 17, 2009

Not since the overthrow of the Weimar Republic have the leaders of a major democracy used their offices and the mass media to disseminate invective against millions of their own citizens. In fact it was Adolph Hitler who urged that “the state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people” and who explained, in the words of Rabbi Daniel Lapin, that “as long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people happily will endure almost any curtailment of liberty.” Using children to tug on our heartstrings may be not only a weakness of the sentimental. It also may be a ploy by those cynical and unscrupulous enough to exploit children for their own purposes. 

This is likely to be remembered as one of the most diabolical perversions of governmental power in our history, a time when we allowed children to be used and abused by fast-talking government officials and paid for it with our families, our social order and our constitutional rights.-- STEPHEN BASKERVILLE (in about 2000)

As I was looking at this image, it struck me that- This IS a photo of the "Best Interest of the Child".

And then it struck me- This is a NEW Civil Right

The WAR 
on the Family


Does that star-spangled banner yet wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. 
The U.S. government will lead the American people, and the 
West in general, into an unbearable hell and a choking life.

-Osama bin Laden, October, 2001 (quoted in NewsMax.com 2/1/02)

"When the government fears the people, there is liberty.
 When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
 
Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

Where did it go?  
Looking for a story you read here just yesterday?
Found us with a Search Engine, looking for something?

The AFRa Front Page gets the latest news almost daily.  Older items HAVE to come off.  Otherwise, the Front Page gets TOO BIG, takes too long to load, gets confusing, and just plain  overwhelming. So we have to clean house pretty often.

Anything removed in the past month goes on Page 2

NEW! AFRa Page 3 - Important Items that were "Bottom of Page 1"
