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." WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING

"There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family Court System."- Judge Brian Lindsay Retired Supreme Court Judge, New York, New York "There is something bad happening to our children in family courts today that is causing them more harm than drugs, more harm than crime and even more harm than child molestation."

America in trouble: Reagan to the rescue, again New banner, bumper sticker spread message to fight socialism Posted: November 23, 2009 9:34 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily Neither the passage of time nor the passing of the man has dulled the strength and truth of the words and warnings of President Ronald Reagan, the "Gipper." His words, for example, concerning government, were, "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." Or his eloquent assessment of the need for vigilance about liberty: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." Now, in a time of incalculable federal borrowing, shameless corporate bailouts and a nation drowning in debt, Reagan's judgment about the consequence of government actions and the result of citizens who don't hold their leaders to the highest standards are proving profoundly prescient.  FULL STORY

November 23, 2009 First-Ever National Data on Adopted Children and Their Families  Adoption USA: A Chartbook Based on the 2007 National Survey of Adoptive Parents presents findings from the first nationally representative survey of adoptive parents in the United States. About two percent of U.S. children joined their families through adoption. The Chartbook describes the characteristics, adoption experiences, and well-being of these children and their families, making comparisons between adopted children and the general population of children in the United States and among children adopted through different adoption types.  The Chartbook contains information on types of adoption, adoption by relatives, contact with birth families, physical health and social and emotional well-being of adopted children, and parenting.  It is based on the National Survey of Adoptive Parents, a collaborative effort of several agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  Researchers from Child Trends conducted the analyses under contract to HHS.

"I also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well." -- George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish comic dramatist, member of the socialist Fabian Society Source: The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, by George Bernard Shaw, pg 470, 1928 "And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in all the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual." -- John Steinbeck (1902-1968) Source: East of Eden, 1952 "When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, 'just men who will rule in the fear of God.' The preservation of [our] government depends on the faithful discharge of this Duty; if the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizen will be violated or disregarded. If [our] government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine Commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the Laws." -- Noah Webster (1758-1843) American patriot and scholar, author of the first dictionary of American English usage (1806) and the author of the 1828 edition of the dictionary that bears his name.

THE NEWS ON ONE CLICK 1.   Canada: The Killer H1N1 Vaccine Michel Chossudovsky is a Canadian economist. He is a professor of economics at the University of Ottawa A new development in the H1N1 Vaccine Saga is unfolding in Canada. The government is involved in a cover-up. Health authorities have called for the withdrawal of 170,000 (higher risk) doses of the vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline. What happened to the remaining 62,100 doses of the higher risk vaccine batch, which were used to vaccinate people in Manitoba? Has there been a followup regarding those people in Manitoba who received the higher risk H1N1 vaccine injection? What is the situation in other provinces in which the higher risk vaccine doses were distributed? The news reports have highlighted deaths resulting from the H1N1 flu, while obfuscating several recorded deaths resulting directly from the vaccine. These vaccine related deaths are occurring at the very outset of the vaccination program.

60 Senators Vote for ObamaCare Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:47:02 -0500 (EST)  Jim DeMint <info@senateconservatives.com> The Senate just voted to advance the Obama-Reid health care takeover bill by a vote of 60 to 39. If the bill ultimately passes, every one of the 60 Senators who voted for it tonight will be responsible. Everyone knows that any health care bill passed by this Congress and signed by this President will allow the government to take over our health care system in a way that rations care, increases taxes, explodes our debt, and kills jobs. Nothing is going to happen during the Senate debate to change that. By voting to allow this bill to come to the Senate floor tonight, each of these Senators provided the crucial vote needed to pass this dangerous bill. Every Senator who voted for this legislation tonight should be voted out of office, and SCF will specifically target any swing-vote Senator who tries to fool their constituents into believing they are not responsible for passing this bill.

Pink slips as far as eye can see in D.C. Trail of color now would extend from Washington to Kansas City Posted: November 21, 2009 4:15 am Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily Another day, another million "pink slips." Just about, anyway. The total number of "pink slips" being dispatched to Congress warning members to rein in their spend-and-tax programs of government expansion has reached 7 million. That's up 2 million in just the last few days, ever since several members of Congress, including Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., held a news conference to hail the "Send Congress a pink slip" campaign, organized by WND columnist Janet Porter and WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah. "It's an amazing feat, to get that many slips to Congress," Rep. Steven King, R-Iowa, told WND. "If you look through them, you can index each one back to an individual. That's powerful. There is a person behind each one of the slips." King and Franks were joined at the press conference by Reps. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., and Louis Gohmert, R-Texas. In addition, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., was interviewed about the campaign by Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren. "This is putting everyone on notice," he said. "And I think this is what the American people have been doing for months now, saying if you keep spending and borrowing, you're going to get fired."  FULL STORY

Thomas Sowell (who apparently can no longer call himself a Black man if he's not a communist ) quotes- "It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it." "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." "Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late."

Deadlier than Cocaine, Heroin, and the Swine Flu? Posted by: Dr. Mercola November 21 2009 Addiction to prescription painkillers — which kill thousands of Americans a year — has become a largely unrecognized epidemic, experts say. In fact, prescription drugs cause most of the more than 26,000 fatal overdoses each year, says Leonard Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of overdose deaths from opioid painkillers — opium-like drugs that include morphine and codeine — more than tripled from 1999 to 2006, to 13,800 deaths that year, according to recently released CDC statistics. In the past, most overdoses were due to illegal narcotics, such as heroin, with most deaths in big cities. Prescription painkillers have now surpassed heroin and cocaine however, as the leading cause of fatal overdoses, Paulozzi says. Experts say it's easy to see why so many Americans are abusing painkillers. As Americans age and carry extra pounds, more are asking for pain relief to cope with joint problems, back pain and other ailments.  FULL STORY

Shattered Bonds: the Color of Child Welfare book by Dorothy Roberts Shattered Bonds is a thoughtful essay in three parts regarding the gap between what we as a society think we mean by child "protection" and "welfare," and what actually happens as a result of the Child Protective System and the Welfare System. While you might not agree with all of her conclusions, she cites a wealth of studies (many regarding children here in Illinois and in Chicago) showing serious breakdowns in the system.

Landon Terry has dedicated his life to solving crimes, but he can't seem to solve the mystery he believes started his life. He was just one day old when he thinks he was sold. Posted: 6:10 PM Nov 19, 2009 Reporter: Meredith Anderson Email Address: meredith.anderson@wrdw.com AUGUSTA---Landon Terry has dedicated his life to solving crimes, but he can't seem to solve the mystery he believes started his life. He was just one day old when he thinks he was sold. "I've tried the attorney's offices, the hospital. It's almost like, you don't exist," says Terry. But he has proof that he does in his adoption records. He was born at a local hospital on October 16, 1963. His name was Baby Boy Cooper. "And if your mother felt, had you in her arms, believe me. She would not want to give you up," says Barbara Seeger. Seeger would know. She drove three hours from her North Carolina home to meet Landon after News 12 tracked her down on an adoption website. She is looking for her daughter, a little girl born the same year as Landon. A little girl, she says the juvenile court system took from her. "I had agreed to give her up, and I said, that was before I had her. And she told me that if I did not give her up, then when I walked out that door, I would be arrested for vagrancy," remembers Seeger. The "she" Barbara is referring to is Juvenile Court Officer Bee Hamilton, who died in 1988. Barbara has never been able to prove this threat, a threat she believes Hamilton used on many others. But, look what we found in a 1955 court hearing in Miami. A congressional subcommittee was investigating juvenile issues and Bee Hamilton's alleged threats. An attorney, under oath, says this about Hamilton: "One fact that I learned in going through the sections of Augusta and interviewing perhaps hundreds of people in areas where the mothers had their children taken from them, was that the juvenile court was identified with police power." - Ernest A. Mitler, Special Counsel Later, a mother describes how Hamilton showed up at her home with that power to take away her baby and 3 other children. "She brought a policeman with her to get the children. The children cried, and she took them on out. I have never seen and never knowed where 1 of the 4 is at." - Callie Mae Parrish Again, all this came out in 1955. Seeger says Hamilton used that same threat against her 8 years later in 1963. "I don't know what I could have done to fight back. Because I was 19 years old and scared to death, absolutely horrified of Bee Hamilton." As were other mothers who said Hamilton would say anything to get her hands on babies and children. "Babies had died, or you couldn't keep the baby. Or like in your case, I'll have you arrested, thrown in jail. Take the baby anyway. Barbara; oh believe me, that was not a lie!" said Terry.  FULL STORY What is alarming is there are tens of thousands of "Bee Hamiltons" operating in the CPS agencies today. Hers is the Standard Mode of Operation. CPS operations are an intolerable offense to American Families, the LAW, and the Constitution. They ARE America's Domestic Terrorists.

Health bill could get 34-hour reading in Senate By Joseph Curl Washington Times Thursday, November 19, 2009 The 2,074-page Senate health care bill would take 34 hours to read cover to cover -- and that's just what Sen. Tom Coburn wants done on the Senate floor. The Oklahoma Republican has threatened to invoke parliamentary rules to force the Senate clerk (or more likely, a team of clerks) to read the massive bill before the full Senate begins formal debate on the legislation. The move is strictly according to Senate rules, which say any senator can demand a bill be read in its entirety before debate begins. While Democrats could, if they wish, repeatedly make motions to end the soliloquy, Republicans on the floor could object, and the reading would continue. What's even more interesting is that Senate Rule XIV (paragraph 2) states that every bill and joint resolution "shall receive three readings prior to its passage."  FULL STORY Read it or not, the American people say NO! to this bill.  We are sick and tired of the Avalanche of Tyranny. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform." - Norman Thomas, perennial Presidential candidate of the U.S. Socialist Party (1944) "There’s no longer any left or right. There’s the system and the enemies of the system."-- Eduard Limonov- founder of the National Bolshevik Party in Russia

A sad day for pro per parents The following is an email from Janette Isaacs. Janette pours her soul into all she does; unfortunately her own two young children will be deprived by the California Courts of any interaction with their own mother. "November 19, 2009 "My Dear Friends: "I just received the Appellate Court's written decision today. I lost most of my arguments on issues pertaining to "jurisdiction". Basically, the Appellate Court stated that I should have appealed the first post judgment child custody modification order in 2006. I was legally stupid in 2006 and did not know the laws regarding appeals. I would have prevailed then. Now, those orders are too old to appeal. So, if I never see my two younger children again while they are children, it is because I was legally stupid in 2006 and too poor to retain an attorney. I hope that they forgive me. I really did my best. "I could not choke up a $50,000 retainer to compete with James' attorney, Mr. Stephen Kolodny who charges $1,000 per hour and commands a $200,000.00 retainer fee. I can't say that I did not fight and give it my all. I did the best I could do. So, consider my report card grade an F (Fail in subject matter) an E (Excellent in effort) and E (Excellent in cooperation). Funny, FEE on my report card translates into exactly why I lost custody of my children, I couldn't afford the FEE to retain counsel and I was denied any money to retain an attorney.   FULL STORY See the Latest Articles from Laura Lynn The situation for American Families is so grave today that you literally do need to be a lawyer in order to keep your kids in their own home instead of the State hatcheries. <-Click on this for the mind-blowing definition.

Kinship Care More Beneficial Than Foster Care, Study Finds ScienceDaily (June 4, 2008) -- Children removed from their homes after reports of (alleged) maltreatment have significantly fewer behavior problems three years after placement with relatives than if they are put into foster care, according to new research at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Vulnerable Children Fare Well With Relatives, Study Finds ScienceDaily (Jan. 21, 2009) — Placing vulnerable children with relatives is a viable option, a new study by Cochrane Researchers suggests. In view of several recent high profile child abuse cases, the study may have important policy implications.  "We don't know what type of out-of-home care is best for children.

Is this some novelist’s prognosticated dystopia?  No, all this and more is routine in the United States today.   Full Story

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)

Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice By Barbara C. Johnson Published August 2009 The book addresses a serious problem, the need for court reform and the abolishment of judicial and quasi-judicial immunity. Marinated with the makings of sizzle, the book is filled with the courts’ tricks and traps for the unwary—to alert the readers both why their law cases failed and what must be done to effect court reform.  Each chapter introduces the background of the subject of that chapter and then presents a series of illustrative anecdotes intended to teach the readers by example how to avoid those court tricks and traps people are likely to encounter in their existing or potential court cases. Its author, Barbara C. Johnson, an unconventional 74-year-old, has long been a fierce advocate for fathers' rights in family courts. She is an outspoken critic of the Massachusetts court system, which she says is rife with corruption. In 2002, she ran a quixotic campaign for governor, campaigning in an antique fire truck and promising to use creativity, compassion, and a willingness to listen to the People to mend an ailing government. In 2006, Johnson was barred from practicing law in Massachusetts. “The disbarment by a kangaroo court was an effort to silence my criticism of the courts,” she said. A newspaper wrote, “While we don't fully agree with either her politics or her methods, Johnson is a character in a humdrum world sorely in need of more characters. She's the thorn in the side, the thumbtack on the chair. . . . Johnson speaks her mind, and loudly.” See MORE about Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice

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 Still can't find it, no matter where you look? We want you to get the info you need!
