CPS is not enticing us. They aren't running an elaborate sting operation. They are just a roving gang of thugs. CPS is BARGING into our private lives looking for character assassination tidbits and if none, making it up from thin air. Evil prosecutors are a pandemic. The "Law and Order" re-election platform is worn out, the prisons are full, the citizens are taxed to subsistence, and it is hurting EVERYBODY. - Leonard Henderson, Co-Founder of AFRA

"Dependent" children are those who are abused, neglected, or otherwise without parental care or control. So you probably think their parents are scuzzball slime, right? WRONG. Most of my clients were poor people caught in a system that employed just-out-of-college middle class kids to go out into homes and determine whether children were at risk. Turn-over in their job was tremendous. Most lasted no more than 6 months or, at most, a year. I handled cases in which these social workers deemed children to be at risk and had them removed from their homes by the police because:

"Americans (are) heartsick and almost out of hope. ....Americans are sick of politics. They are filled to the gills with the venom hissing from “both sides of the aisle.” They are tired of scandals, tired of war, tired of gas-prices, tired of being played for a fool. They are not sure what the problems are, but they know there are problems. They aren’t really motivated by health-care or tax-cuts, or by global warming. They aren't fooled – they know all crimes are hate crimes. What they hate is the crime of what has happened to their country. They hate the bickering, they hate the pessimism, and they hate the strong-arm of government. ....Democrats are Americans too. They are not represented by George Soros and Code Pink, by Move On and NOW. They do not walk lock-step with the Democratic leadership. They are folks just like Republicans. They have houses and jobs, kids and cars. They hate what has happened to their country and they want what is best for their kids. " - Coach Dave Daubenmire |
April 15th- Tax Day
"I don't like the income tax. Every time we talk about these taxes we get around to the idea of 'from each according to his capacity and to each according to his needs'. That's socialism. It's written into the Communist Manifesto. Maybe we ought to see that every person who gets a tax return receives a copy of the Communist Manifesto with it so he can see what's happening to him". -T. Coleman Andrews, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, May 25, 1956 in US. News & World Report
Editor Note: Actually, the quote "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!" is not in the Communist Manifesto. It comes from Karl Marx's Critique of the Gotha Programme What IS in the Communist Manifesto is the "measures", which the second one is "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax." which we were blessed with in 1913. And while you are there, observe the fifth measure, which is our beloved Federal Reserve Bank also created in 1913. A lot of nasty communist stuff happened to America in 1913. Plenty else there to get mad about too, like public schools.
"All we have to do now is to inform the public that the payment of social security taxes is voluntary and watch the mass exodus." -- Walter E. Williams (1936- ) Columnist, Professor of Economics at George Mason University Source: January 24, 1996.

3:44 PM EDT, April 10, 2008 OrlandoSentinel.com The man accused of raping a woman in a Wal-Mart parking lot earlier this week held a gun to the child during the incident, according to the arrest report released today. David Welker, 24, held the victim at gunpoint and forced her back into the car, where her 15-month-old daughter sat in a car seat, the document said. Welker placed the gun against the child as he raped the woman twice, according to deputies. Wow. That's exactly how CPS works.

lawmaker back with new legislation Latest bill targets hits to face, head By Mike Zapler, MEDIANEWS SACRAMENTO BUREAU Article Created: 04/07/2008 02:31:22 AM PDT SACRAMENTO — The woman who tried to ban spanking children — only to get spanked by public opinion herself — is back for more. Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, has reintroduced a bill designed to crack down on hitting a child under 3 in the face or head. A similar effort last year became the butt of jokes in the national media — but also hundreds of headlines and hours of air time for Lieber — before stalling out in the Assembly. "We want to build on the groundwork that was laid last year," Lieber said. "Last year we started out with 95 to 100 percent of reaction being negative. Once people found out what we were trying to do with the bill, that was reduced to 85 percent negative. So we want to continue to move the discussion along." The old communist witch just won't stop. ...Lieber, who does not have children of her own, said she hopes her efforts will continue to raise awareness about child abuse. We would like to raise awareness about old fool communists destroying our youths. "I got a lot of great questions coming from the public," Lieber said. "Everything from, 'Is it OK to bite a child who bites you?,' to, 'What other strategies can be used'" to discipline a child? Indeed, MediaNews received more than 1,000 e-mails and comments on its Web site last year after reporting on Lieber's proposal — apparently breaking a record for most reaction to a single article. "Unreal," "absurd," and "idiotic" were some of the gentler adjectives readers used. Critics who say the state has no business legislating how parents raise their children — including the use of simple corporal punishment — also point out that state child-abuse laws already ban some of the more severe behaviors criticized in Lieber's bill. Lieber's bill, Assembly Bill 2943, doesn't call for a blanket ban on spanking. But authorities could consider a strike to the head or face — among other more serious forms of discipline — in deciding whether someone had inflicted "unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering on a child," the bill says. Which means a quick slap to the face of a rotten brat would become a crime, if it isn't aleady. The "mental suffering" is an absolute joke. Other factors include "the use of an implement; the throwing, kicking, burning, or cutting of a child; the striking of a child with a closed fist; the vigorous shaking of a child under 3 years of age; the interference with a child's breathing, or the brandishing of a deadly weapon upon a child." All (except shaking) are already crimes, stupid.

I want a brutal, domineering, fearless, cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes...That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication...That is how I will create the New Order." -- Adolf Hitler, 1933 Also see Hitler Youth

| 'They're
not getting my kid' Worry about having children taken away propels exodus Mediha Fejzagic DiMartino, Staff Writer Article Created: 03/17/2008 10:49:27 PM PDT Daily Record, Ontario California As the warm sunshine bathes Tent City, a young couple hustles to get out of this place they have called home for the past six months. With their feet sliding on the gravel, they carry a stroller across the train tracks, hoping no one is following them. A blond, curly-haired toddler giggles and eats a cookie, oblivious to the panic of his parents. "Look at this," the man says, glancing over his shoulder. "There are all cops over there." "They can block us all they want," he says, sighing as they manage to get across the tracks. "But they're not getting my kid," the woman says, finishing his sentence. Judi Tibbetts, Darrel Romero and their two children moved to Tent City in October after she lost her job and the family ran out of money for a motel.
Ontario's new "no dogs, no outsiders, no children" policy for the encampment forced the family into hiding early Monday morning. The night before, Tibbetts sent her 13-year-old son, Dillon Wilson, to his grandfather's house until things settled down. She and her 17-month-old son, Adam Romero, were picked up by a church volunteer a few blocks away to avoid an encounter with Child Protective Services. After saying goodbye to them, Darrel Romero returned to Tent City, afraid his tent would be confiscated if he's away too long. "I don't like being here but I have no where to go," said Tibbetts, who works three days a week at the Mervyn's in Chino. Romero picks up odd jobs wherever and whenever he can. Full Story I notice that the state's websites aren't including the happy motto like they used to. Like "Helping and Strengthing Families". I guess they figured out they weren't fooling anybody but the most gullible. How about a new one: "CPS- Hero of Fools" |

Turn to Police When Daughters Have Sex Young Men Face Jail Time or Sex Offender Status for Having Sex With Girlfriends By JOHN STOSSEL, GENA BINKLEY and ANDREW G. SULLIVAN March 14, 2008 
.....Kids are clueless about the legal consequences of teenage sex, says Arizona public defender Chris Phillis. "We tell them you could get pregnant, you could get a disease. But we don't tell them they could be locked up for the rest of their life," she said. "Even if everyone says it's OK, that you know, they're consenting to the touching, the kissing, you could still go to jail." |

PEDIATRICS Vol. 121 No. 1 January 2008, pp. e157-e163 (doi:10.1542/peds.2007-0212) ARTICLE ABSTRACT CONTEXT. Studies have revealed that youth in foster care covered by Medicaid insurance receive psychotropic medication at a rate >3 times that of Medicaid-insured youth who qualify by low family income. Systematic data on patterns of medication treatment, particularly concomitant drugs, for youth in foster care are limited. Also discussed is the MULTIPLE doping. What is not discussed is the REASON all these kids are being doped. The reason? Dope makes kids "easy to handle". AND diagnosing a child as "mentally ill" opens the flood-gates of Social Security funds. We have heard that one kid in "residential treatment" is worth $10,000 a month for the Child "Welfare" Industry. FRAUD? Yes it is. "In the Best Interest of the Child"? That depends on whether you would rather have your savings in a Credit Union making 1% INTEREST or a "dream" IPO for 2000% PROFIT. "In the best PROFIT of the child" tells the truth. Once a child is kidnapped from his home, RESPONSIBILITY for that child is ended, except for what CPS can retroactively blame on the parents. It's nothing about loving and caring for children. |

March 8, 2008- Found by an AFRA Newshawk- Effective intervention in child protective services: Learning from
parents Sixty-one parents, mainly mothers, in two mid-size Ontario (Canada) cities were interviewed about their experiences with Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies, one in each city. ....Their most negative experiences were: having their initial requests for help turned down; being accepted for service, but not receiving much help; being unfairly treated or harrassed; and being traumatized by the sudden, police-like removal of their children. The paper discusses how the context of these two agencies may have contributed to the findings: increasing poverty among families with children, and the effects of an ultra-conservative government, who introduced a legalistic, investigative agenda for CPS beginning in 1995. They call that depraved government in Canada "ultra-conservative"? I am abandoning the title. It's been "Orwellized"- Obviously, the word now means COMMUNIST. Nothing is conservative about our governments. Families don't seem to have any friends |

 Leave
Us AloneGrover G. Norquist Americans for Tax Reform One of the nation's most influential political strategists provides a daring manifesto and vision for conservatives. The modern Republican party is a coalition of groups and tendencies created during the political life of Ronald Reagan, based on principle rather than region and history. The new political movement that now controls much of the Republican party is one of Americans who simply wish to be left alone by the government. They are not asking the government for others' money, time, or attention. Rather, they want to be free to own a gun, homeschool their children, pray, invest their money, and control their own destiny. They are the Leave Us Alone coalition, at the heart of the center-right, and Grover Norquist argues that it will grow in power and size during the next generation. Full Story |

Justice is far more important than law. ...every monstrous totalitarian regime in history has had laws, thousands of laws. Every tyranny on the face of the Earth has enslaved their people through their laws. The Nazis had such laws. The Soviet communists had their laws.

| "It is the duty of the citizenry to hold public officials accountable to perform what they are being paid to perform, what they have sworn to perform and what they profess to perform. And that is to conduct limited Constitutional government that recognizes the rights of the citizen before something- their children or their lands or ANYTHING- is taken from them. You would think it would be simple, wouldn't you? Well that's what the law says and that's what should happen. But incredibly, it's been turned upside-down on its head."-- Roger Weidner |
| “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 |

| February 5, 2003 Need for a search warrant trips social workers Ohio authorities not aware of Fourth Amendment protections ..."In a forceful opinion, US District Judge James G. Carr wrote: “Despite the Defendants’ exaggerated view of their powers, the Fourth Amendment applies to them, as it does to all other officers and agents of the state whose requests to enter, however benign or well-intentioned, are met by a closed door. There is...no social worker exception to the strictures of the Fourth Amendment. ...Any agency that expects to send its employees routinely into private homes has a fundamental obligation to ensure that those employees understand the constitutional limits on their authority.” The caseworkers in the Walsh case admitted they had never been taught anything about the Fourth Amendment or search warrants. The court further ruled that the police did not have probable cause to detain, frisk, and threaten to arrest Walsh, since he was not breaking any law but merely asserting his “fundamental right to be left alone.” |
| Some quotes from George
Orwell's "1984" (written in1949) - "It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason for hardly a week passed in which the 'Times' did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak--"child hero" was the phrase generally used--had overheard some compromising remark and denounced his parents to the Thought Police." "The family could not actually be abolished, and, indeed, people were encouraged to be fond of their children in almost the old-fashioned way. The children, on the other hand, were systematically turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations. The family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers who knew him intimately." |
