“A book might be written on the injustice of the just.” Anthony Hope
The Desecration of the Family
There is a war raging over the control of our children. The cry of outrage is spreading across this nation, as increasing numbers of children are wrongfully ripped from their loving parent's arms and secreted away by the unscrupulous agents of the State. Many good parents are branded child abusers, and in their naivete, are abused and manipulated by a system that transcends any preconceived notion of injustice. Their trusting children are deceived and coerced into "disclosing" non-existent abuse, unaware that they are being exploited by the very people who profess to protect them. Christian parents are especially at risk of prosecution.
"Not all child abusers are Christian and not all Christians are child abusers. But a surprisinglyhigh number of cases of reported child abuse occur in Christian families."
This quote, by a domestic violence center director, Marie Fortune, is frightening, because many Christians employ the " rod of correction" on their children, and spanking is considered by many so-called experts to be child abuse. This is often the only basis for removing children from the homes of loving, concerned, non abusive parents. Because they only want to raise righteous, responsible children, their families are at risk. In spite of the fact that spanking is universally legal, false accusations of child abuse abound, even against parents who spank responsibly
When charged with child abuse for a non abusive spanking, . These families are routinely sacrificed on the unholy altar of the “child savers.” A large percentage of these child savers who make decisions for families are childless. The evidence shows that these so-called professionals care more for their jobs and their personal agendas than protecting children from child abuse. The agencies they work for are more interested in receiving Federal funds and expanding their bureaucracy. Under the holier-than-thou guise of child advocacy, they have forgotten the children they purport to protect. Consequently, the child savers have little concern for the truth surrounding an allegation of child abuse.
A disproportionately large percentage of these “child savers” are emotionally damaged. Many claim to have been abused as children. Some actually have been abused. They cannot conceive of a normal, healthy family; of parents who discipline out of love rather than react abusively out of anger. They have made it their mission in life to protect all children from the abuse they suffered, whether those children need their protection or not.
They are not necessarily motivated by altruism. And they are not all caseworkers. A child saver can be a Guardian ad litem (GAL) or a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) or a child psychologist or therapist, a judge, or a foster caregiver. A tremendous multibillion dollar industry has emerged out of the battle cry “stop child abuse.” For every child removed from his home, there is an average of 25 service providers who derive their livelihood from that child’s removal! There is powerful financial motivation to keep that child out of the home as long as possible. And the ultimate results? There are as many children dying of abuse or neglect in 1997 as in 1974 when the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act ( CAPTA) was passed. The only difference today is that 50% of those children are now dying in foster care. The laws governing child protection do not apply to foster caregivers or to state agencies or to the stranger on the street, they only apply to parents.
The greatest outrage is that these foster care deaths are often covered up by the investigating agency. This agency just happens to be the same agency that placed those children in that dangerous home in the first place. If a child is removed from his mother and his lifesaving medical treatment is withheld so the child savers can prove his mother faked his illness, and he dies two days later, is that not child abuse? If an infant dies of a mysterious and unexplained subdural hematoma, is that not murder? These are just two cases out of hundreds every year where a child’s death occurred under suspicious circumstances in foster care and was determined to be ‘accidental.’ As you can see, the foster caregivers and casew orkers can almost literally abuse a child with impunity.
Spanking is not the only excuse used by the system to take our children. There are documented cases of children being removed because a healthy mother breast-fed her baby, because a child suffered the common high-altitude affliction of a bloody nose, and because a mother properly rushed her child to the emergency room for accidentally ingesting Tylenol. Others include religious or political reasons. Some of these cases actually involve the permanent termination of parental rights! The time to act is before your family is victimized by this overzealous and corrupt system, because once they have your children, it's often too late.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Child protection is not about saving abused children. It is about Federal dollars. In order to maintain the system, 3,000 children must be removed from their homes every day. Most of these homes are not abusive homes. You can protect your family, but only if you know your rights. Only if you know what to expect and how to fight the illegal seizure of your children.
