This is not an article on the need for reform of the Child Protective Services nationwide and I will not bore you with all the facts and figures. They are available on the Internet from any family rights organization. If interested, do your own research, as I did. There is no need for reform. The entire system should be abolished and those working within the system pushed into the real world and made to do honest work for a change. Barring that, they should be imprisoned for eagerly participating in organized criminal activity.
We’ve all heard of organized crime syndicates and the legal-looking fronts they use to get around the legal system in an attempt to hide their true criminal activities. CPS is no different. They were put into place as a legal front for a larger, more heinous organization. The front is a good one, the protection of children. Behind the scenes, it’s an organization that kidnaps or harvests children for money. There’s no denying the need to protect our most innocent of citizens. An organization governed and overseen in an appropriate manner could work as a true protection for all children, both rich and poor without violating the rights of families. CPS is NOT such an organization, never has been, never will be.
If you have money (lots of money) you need never fear your children being harvested by CPS. Not to say, they won’t come after them. The likelihood is less, and if it happens, you will have the financial resources to fight them off. It’s the poor and middle-class that need to tremble in fear of this vast, government sanctioned, and criminal organization. This is especially true of the poor. Those who have no access to legal representation other than court appointed legal counsel. Court appointed legal counsel = NO REPRESENTATION.
Anyone who has ever worked within the CPS system knows that only about ten percent of children are removed from their homes for legitimate reasons. The general public may or may not be aware of this, but even if aware, they may not know that the other ninety percent are NOT removed mistakenly or with the best of intentions. No, the children are removed intentionally to keep up the quota. CPS must keep the quota high in order to be eligible for more and more federal funding. Sometimes these children are placed in foster homes indefinitely or the parental rights are removed and the children placed for adoption. CPS covets this adoption scenario because a plan implemented by our President pays them for every child adopted out of the system. Some would say the government and The President had only the interest of the children in mind when implementing this pay off for harvested children, but no government official could possibly be that ignorant of what is going on behind the scenes of the CPS.
The gross violations of human/family/parental rights perpetrated by CPS, their arrogant disregard for the laws of this country, and their blatant denial of constitutional rights are coming to light. The public is being made aware of their criminal activities, their harvesting of children, their use of illegal threats, intimidation and misuse of law enforcement to coerce families into doing as they bid—most especially poor families who have little defense against them. Those poor are easy targets for CPS, but nowhere in our laws or the constitution is there any reference to poor family being equal to bad parents, nor should there be. In this country the poor and middle class are entitled, under the law, to the same rights as those bestowed upon the wealthy. It’s past time those rights were upheld.

I agree with you. But there is still a pretty convincing public relations campaign against the family rights movement. Although the family rights movement is becoming more organized in the US, people are becoming aware of the crimes committed against children and families by CPS, the pro-cps crowd routinely bashes parents by exploiting the most horrendous cases of abuse or neglect convincing the ignorant in society that any form of abuse or neglect is as severe as it is shown on television.

I hope the public are not that ignorant or blind, but anyone can be brainwashed and that is a form of brainwashing. There are children taken daily for false accusations of abuse or neglect, there are those taken for very minor things that would never result in any harm to the children and could be corrected with a little help and education and there are those cases where the neglect or abuse is severe. The last is a very small precentage. Unfortunately many cases of severe abuse are never uncovered or investigated by CPS. Perhaps because they spend so much energy and resources in making up stories and trying to cover their behinds in the fraudulent cases they bring. A very sad situation for those children who truly need help, and for the children snatched from their parents for no legitimate reason.

It is refreshing to see that someone can see through the marketing campaign and see cps for who they are and what they do. How did you get so wise?
CPS is destroying the lives of children everyday. They have no regard for what is best for the children. They are only interested in feeding the monster that keeps them employed.

Amen!
THANK YOU for your honesty, it is refreshing!
I spend my days reading story after story about how our government (CPS and the Divorce business) are destroying our children for MONEY! Then I blog about it on
DisgustedWithTheSystem.BlogSpot.Com
Please take a moment to sign a petition, I plan on taking to Henry Waxman, requesting an investigation into the abuses of the federal funding and the family laws in place.

Thanks for your comments. I’ve researched this subject for a long time and spoken with both former and present case workers. Some ended their careers because of their disgust with what happens. Others feel they can’t afford to lose their jobs and will only speak anonymously. And then there are those who feel justified in everything they do.
I used to believe if a child was removed from their parent’s home, there had to be a legitimate reason. I was that blind. Well, the blinders are off and I see clearly what CPS truly is.
I’ve not done a lot of research on foster care, but have heard it said that more abuse occurs in foster homes than in the homes the children were removed from. After speaking with many adults who grew up in foster care, I’m inclined to believe this to be true. I know there are good and caring foster homes, but fear they are few compared to the bad ones.

Yep, same organisation, just a different name.
Or should that be, organised crime??? Our pathetic network act in the same manner, tearing families apart, destroying innocent lives, and with absolutely NO bloody remsorse!
I have studied in the Community service field, and was sickened when i heard of how their [DoCs] system ran things…I too found my own research the best method to get ‘both sides of the story’…I witnessed a child going through the motions of this organisation and I listened as she told me some real ‘home truths’. Yes, her family scene was not a good one, and yes, she needed some intervening and support. But what did she get??
Treated like an object, a parcel…this poor kid was passed from pillar to post, a different case-worker almost every couple of weeks, a different foster home here and there because the system was failing. Failing! This girl despised the case workers MORE than that of those who had been abusing her at home! She had lost trust, she had no real security and sitting in that the office I was horified to see these case workers were just as ignorant of her needs.
Welfare, what is that?? What about the ‘duty-of-care’ in our society for those less fortunate? And how come we hear more and more of families under siege from these organisations when there has been no proof of any wrong-doings?? Who gave them all this power?
When a parent cannot discipline their child without fear of repremand from these pariahs, when these strangers can walk into someone’s LIFE, and make false accusations with full authority, how do we fight for our rights???
I will stop here because this is one subject I agree needs to be dealt with perhaps in an open forum of the community, fort to protect ourselves, and our children, yes, abolishment the ONLY solution!

I was a victim of CPS, as were my sister and younger brother. They had no reason to even have us, as they only “crime” committed, was that my mother was dying in a hospital. Temporary placement is what they called it. It took 5 1/2 years and a very expensive lawyer to finally force CPS to give us back. But the damage was already done. I spent my time in a couple of foster homes (one that was abusive) and then in a children’s home. My sister had it the worst however. Foster home to foster home, then to organizations that abused her time and again. After all was said and done, we were a family who didn’t know each other any more. Damaged and bruised we tried to put pieces together, but for my sister there have been none repaired. For she herself fell victim again. Her children being taken as well. Her daughters were adopted out, and her son given to his father. She knew what was coming, our mother did it. But she doesn’t have money for a lawyer. So, that leads to dead in. Her son is and has been in the “system” for over 7 years. When the father could not care for him, they didn’t even contact her. She found out by accident because of a new case worker assigned to her son. He no longer works for them, for spilling the beans. They had put in her file she had no interest in contact with her child. I pray for her every day. I can’t imagine how she is surviving the torment they are doing to her.

I AM AFRAID WE ARE LIVING IN THE END TIMES. THE GOVERNMENT DOESNT CARE IF WE GET OUR KIDS TAKEN AWAY. A LOT OF PEOPLE ON SITES LIKE THIS HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO GET THERE KIDS BACK INCLUDING TALKING TO GOVERNORS AND OTHER POLITICIANS ONLY TO BE BRUSHED OFF. LAWYERS DONT DO MUCH GOOD. ME AND MY WIFE HAD OUR 2 GIRLS TAKEN AWAY 7 YRS AGO BECAUSE OUR OLDER GIRL LIED ABOUT ME DOING SOMETHING TO HER. SHE HAS TRIED TO TELL SOCIAL WORKERS THAT SHE LIED. AND NOW THEY WONT BELIEVE HER. IF PEOPLE THINK BY GOING TO THEIR LEGISLATERS FOR HELP IS GOING TO DO ANY GOOD I THINK THATS JUST WISHFULL THINKING NOBODY REALLY CARES. THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO EVER SEE ANY CHANGES IN THE SYSTEM IS IF A LOT OF THESE SOCIAL WOKERS AND JUDGES GET THEIR KIDS TAKEN AWAY BY LIES AND DECIET LIKE A LOT OF INNOCENT FAMILIES LIKE MINE HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THEN THERE WOULD BE MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE CHANGES. MYSELF I JUST THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO JUST GET A LOT WORSE IN THE SYSTEM.
