“Many Americans today, just as they did 200 years ago, feel burdened, stifled, and sometimes even oppressed by government that has grown too large, too bureaucratic, too wasteful, too unresponsive, too uncaring about people and their problems. I believe we can embark on a new age of reform in this country and an era of national renewal, an era that will reorder the relationship between citizen and government, that will make government again responsive to people, that will revitalize the values of family, work, and neighborhood and that will restore our private and independent social institutions.” --Ronald Reagan, Election Eve Address "A Vision for America" November 3, 1980

Things have gotten much MUCH worse since then. Reagan's term expired. He got old, went elderly and died. Now we have an bamination for a president.

Best interest of the child- A new "Civil Right"
October 16, 2009
Family Rights Examiner Leonard Henderson

....On February 16, 1995, Madeleine Albright, at the time the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child, against massive protest by American families. The United States has not ratified the CRC. (We never want it to be ratified. See the Parental Rights Amendment Lots more info at http://familyrights.us/UNCRC)

But the "Best Interest of the Child" concept under Parens patriae was fully implemented in the United States beginning with CAPTA '74.

So the truth is, the Convention on the Rights of the Child has been supplanted into law and already DE FACTO in force.

There is likely no phrase in our language more dangerous to children than "the best interests of the child", because it's the banner enabling the unconstitutional government officious and tyrannical intrusion into families. FULL STORY

"When you're talking about a search that is unconstitutional to begin with, to then use the result of that search to insert the arm of the state into a family and potentially tear that family apart is unconscionable." -Maria Kayanan, associate legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida

"If you take on the responsibility to take care of someone - and are paid to take care of someone - the least we can ask is that they come out of it alive." --Judge Deborah Burgin of Rutherfordton, North Carolina

"Since most referrals come from professionals, the fact that three-quarters were eventually judged unsubstantiated or otherwise disposed of is troubling. The public is very distrustful of anything that appears to be a witch-hunt when it come to child abuse; therefore, over reporting damages the system's credibility and also wastes resources; at the same time under reporting leaves the victims at risk. This figure appears to indicate the need for better means of identification and some additional professional training." - Marty Richman 4-5-2011

"Eighty-one percent of all abuse last year was neglect, a percentage that has changed little in recent years. Neglect refers to a denial of critical care, defined as the failure of a caretaker to provide adequate food, shelter, clothing or other care necessary for the child's health and welfare when the caretaker is financially able to do so or is offered financial or other reasonable means to do so".* --LEE ROOD 4-2-2011 (*A.K.A "Reasonable Efforts", which IS NOT HAPPENING)

"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

'Aged-out' foster youth at terrible risk
September 02, 2009

The phrase "at risk" gets tossed around a lot by educators and social workers. Nowhere is the buzzword more applicable - and more poignant - than in its description of foster youth who are "aging out" of the system at age 18.

Talk about "at risk." One recent study revealed that 54 percent of young men and 25 percent of young women are incarcerated within 18 months of leaving the foster-care system. Another survey showed that 70 percent of California prison inmates have spent time in the foster-care system. FULL STORY

"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

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)

"HHS is the largest line item in the federal budget at over 700-billion last year, much of the expense going towards weakening the marriage market or attempting to Humpty-Dumpty the downstream wreckage."--David R. Usher Full Story

"When the people no longer read or understand their Constitution, then they will live in a POLICE STATE" -Robert Wangrud

"Society attacks early when the individual is helpless." -- B. F. Skinner (1904-1990) American psychologist, author, inventor, advocate for social reform and poet

"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." Judge Watson L. White Superior Court Judge, Cobb County, Georgia

"No cases challenge a lawyer more than those alleging child abuse - and very few have higher stakes."-David S Marshall

"There is no crueler tyranny than that which is exercised under color or law, and with the colors of justice." -United States v. Janotti, 673 F.2d 578, 614 (3d Cir. 1982) (Aldisert, J., dissenting) (quoting Montesquieu, Del‘Esprit des Lois (1748)

"Families ARE the GENERAL INTEREST GROUP all the "special interest groups" want to knock chunks out of". -Leonard Henderson

Government can't solve the problem. Government is the problem.-Ronald Reagan

"If government could create jobs and raise children, socialism would have worked." -Gerald Gilder

"Socialism is workable only in Heaven where it isn’t needed, and in Hell where they’ve got it". -Cecil Palmer

"Truth is treason in the empire of lies."-Ron Paul (The Revolution: A Manifesto)

“The government is not your friend.” -Judge Andrew Napolitano

"Destroy the family, you destroy the country." -Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume...that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him.-H. L. Mencken

No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family’s care. But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children. - Hillary Clinton, New York Magazine Apr 3, 2000

"Never spank a spoiled rotten princess- She will grow up to be a fine CPS worker, judge, psychiatrist, Democrat or prostitute some day." - Leonard Henderson

"The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Is The Hand That Rules The World" -William Ross Wallace (1819 – 1881) was an American poet

Isaiah10:
1- Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
