American Family Rights Association :: Promoting the Fundamental Liberty Rights & Privileges of Families

“One is innocent until proven guilty.” Perhaps this is the bedrock of Americans’ sense of justice. Its corollary is that one should not be punished until that guilt is established. But there is nothing more punishing than the strategic but sadistic use of pain to force a confession or to gain information. Victims of torture—who tell us that they longed for death—would testify that this punishment is even worse than death. Punishment before guilt is proven must be viewed as anathema to American’s values. --January 6, 2005 Testimony of Douglas A. Johnson, Executive Director The Center for Victims of Torture

Mothers' Dilemma Eased
The Washington (State) Legislature has amended RCW 13.34's shelter care provisions to prohibit a court's removing a child from a parent's care solely because the parent is uncertain whether allegations that the child has been abused are true. Likewise, the new law prohibits barring the child's placement with another relative solely because the relative is uncertain.

This change addresses a recurring problem for parents–commonly mothers–of children said to have been abused: the fear that one will be considered an unfit parent unless one agrees that the child has been abused by one's spouse or domestic partner.

ESSB 6792 amended the RCW 13.34.065 shelter care hearing factors a court must take into consideration when deciding whether to remove a child from parental custody.

The new provision reads:

"Uncertainty by a parent, guardian, legal custodian, relative, or other suitable person that the alleged abuser has in fact abused the child shall not, alone, be the basis upon which a child is removed from the care of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian under of this subsection, nor shall it be a basis, alone, to preclude placement with a relative under (b) of this subsection or with another suitable person under (d) of this subsection."

This advice goes DOUBLE for CPS workers

"I would love to answer your question, but I cannot do that without violating my Fifth Amendment Rights and my Miranda Rights"

"I would love to let you in my house to look around without a Search Warrant. But I cannot do that without violating my Fourth Amendment Rights"

“Families must continue to be the foundation of our nation. Families—not government
programs—are the best way to make sure our children are properly nurtured, our elderly are cared for, our cultural and spiritual heritages are perpetuated, our laws are observed and our values are preserved... We fear the government may be powerful enough to destroy our families; we know that it is not powerful enough to replace them.”
-Ronald Reagan about 20 years ago.
He ended the Cold War but left the War against Families intact.

From BlawgWar Public Journal

The following statistics represent the number of cases per 100,000 children in the United States. This information is from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington.

Perpetrators of Maltreatment

	Physical Abuse	Sexual Abuse	Neglect	Medical Neglect	Fatalities
CPS	160	112	410	14	6.4
Parents	59	13	241	12	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 sexual abuse and kills more children than parents in the United States.

If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standard that they hold parents to, 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 than 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 social workers.

...Wexler said that erring on the side of the child does not protect children.

"There probably is no phrase in the child-welfare lexicon that has done more harm to children than "err on the side of the child," Wexler said, adding, "The problem with the systematic abuses revealed by the News-Democrat Sunday is not that they hurt parents, though of course they do. ...

"They hurt children by subjecting them to the enormous emotional trauma of needless foster care. ... They hurt children by placing them at risk of abuse in foster care itself, where the rate of abuse is far higher than generally realized, and far higher than the general population."

Just like an alleged "dirty house" being alleged "neglect", there is NO LAW stating "If you can't find anything wrong in a home invasion, "err on the side of the child- kidnap the kids anyway and slap them in Foster Jail, interrogate them and dope them out of their heads. Lie to them, saying 'You can go home if you say something we want you to" This system is infinitely more insane, evil and incompetent than you can possibly imagine..

Audio from NPR.org (National Public Radio) about the utter lack of science which psychologists use when determining child custody in those costly psychological evaluations. Absolutely no published scientific studies published on the outcomes of these evals. It's all bogus.
