• Your children (if very young) may suffer nightmares. It may take them a long time to heal from the trauma the CPS put them through. They have to feel SAFE. How to do this is a GOOD QUESTION, if they are still having to talk with the CPS people who traumatized them.

• Older chldren will probably feel "empowered" and offer to "call the CPS" to get their way. CALL THEIR BLUFF-Offer to dial the phone number FOR THEM.

• A teenager will probably be totally ruined by his empowerment. For many, the last and only hope is to get him/her enrolled in the National Guard Youth Challenge Program. Our smart-mouthed teen even got kicked out of THAT. If the teenager is Belligerent enough, he will soon "solve the problem" by getting himself handcuffed downtown and hauled off to the Youth Authority. Make sure you don't get blamed FOR THAT too, and DEFINITELY point out that the CPS TOTALLY EVISCERATED your AUTHORITY as a parent.

You are going to have to live life as a "pretend New-Age parent". You know how to stay out of trouble with the CPS in the future. If you have a "problem child", KEEP taking him to the counselor. Make sure you are not the problem, while making sure the kid's behavior comes to rest on his own shoulders. Keep your involvement and word quantity as small as possible, so YOU do not become the CENTER OF ATTENTION again.

Do what you can to save your children and help them discover their future. Take them to an exciting evangelical church (won't hurt you either). After dealing with the (Satanic?) Child Protective Service, being around some people who REALLY CARE and want to REALLY HELP is pretty refreshing.

Join your voice with others. Someday, we will overcome this tyrannical oppression on American Families.
