The finger of Guilt
This is why passing the Parent's Rights Amendment is so CRITICAL.
We fight the pandemic corruption in the legal system every day. Family Courts are unconstitutional, and no semblance of Constitutional Due Process exists there.
We are dealing with a system that is incompetent, corrupt, malfeasant, and utterly evil.
"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
“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)
American parents are sabotaged, undermined, and utterly abandoned by virtually every institution and by the culture itself.
American Families ARE the "general interest group" all the "special interest groups" want to knock chunks out of.
Don't spank a spoiled rotten princess- She will grow up to be a fine CPS worker, judge, psychiatrist, Democrat or prostitute some day.
UPDATE: One of our AFRA folks says-
In all fairness, you could have just as well said, "don't discipline the boy for shaking his schoolmates upside down for their lunch money, he could grow up to be a fine family court judge, social worker, republican, tax collector or pimp some day!"

"This is why passing the Parent's Rights Amendment is so CRITICAL." Interesting that all the educated states have no support for this amendment...
Sorry, I completely disagree. Parents do not have a "RIGHT" to abuse or mistreat their children. CPS is a friend to children and if parents act correctly, they have nothing to fear.
Obviously, from reading your bio, you have a personal ax to grind with CPS. I beleive this distorts your ability to be objective and fair. I think it is wholly unprofessional for you to say that CPS is all bad because you had a bad experience. Look how many children DIE every year at the hands of their own parents. Come on, you need to write about another topic or presesnt both sides fairly. You are hardly an expert if you are only going off your own personal experience.
Hello,
RE: DC Reader, it is not about the "Parent's Rights", it is about the rights of the children. Let us keep our focus on what is best for the children and what their rights are. For example, the educational rights of children removed from their home dictate that a child has the right to remain in their school of origin-AB 490. The prolem is that CPS does not care if the children remain in their own school. This has nothing to do with parents.
CPS has NOT improved outcomes for children despite CPS' continuing propaganda.
The deaths of children have remained around 1200 per year, both before and after the implementation of CAPTA around the mid 70's.
What it has done is given employment to otherwise unemployable folk.
As for the disinformation about * good parents * tell that to the DAD in the Midwest who had his son taken because he mistakenly purchased an alcoholic cooler for the boy at a Detroit Tigers game.
See the family and kin who are uniformly denied fostering their own flesh and blood. Read Legislator's Pam Roach's pioneering discovery of DSHS' misdeeds in Washington state. Then, answer.
Wow. Finally some hecklers. I miss you guys.
First, to "ihatestupidpeople"-
If you are "educated", you may know that Columbia Teacher's College is where John Dewey brought "progressivism" to the "intellectual" community, which students brought secular humanism to all colleges and metastasized from there. What you call "educated" means rote parroting the humanist religion and the accompanying arrogance.
To "DC Reader"-
You hit on an essential element. I am betting that your definition of "mistreat" is substantially different from CPS' definition.
And it behooves you to know that the Children's Rights Convention" isn't about "protecting children", it's about Global Governance.
To "Concerned Parent"-
You bet I have a personal axe to grind. That's what makes dedicated EXPERTS. Odd that you should use the word "objective", since the system I fight is SUBJECTIVE and exclusively driven by their FEELINGS, not LAW.
Go to the AFRA website and learn something yo
Oh and another item for "Concerned Parent"-
I am NOT "professional". As far as I am concerned, the word is connotative of the "Alphabet of Corruption" that college-degreed people add to the end of their names.
This is known as "Credentialism", that a degree somehow makes someone "smarter" and more wise than everybody else.
In the realm I write of, this gives them "particularized guarantees of trustworthiness".
No, I am NOT a "professional". I don't make a living from this. I suppose you might think of me as a HUN, from the "unwashed" who intends to kick the walls of putrid, rotting Rome down.
I am at 100% total war. Ever since all this communist crap got shoved down my throat in 1974. I would much rather have quietly made a living and provided for my family and be LEFT ALONE. But no, they declared war on me first.
That's why all us old guys have got to be EUTHANIZED. We remember what America, freedom and liberty, American Civics, and the RULE OF LAW WAS.
Oh, DC READER, IHATESTUPIDPEOPLE, CONCERNED PARENT, and ONEFATHERSLOVE, you guys need to get a clue!!!! Parents rights are what's best for the children, and CPS is an EVIL CORRUPT AGENCY. THEY are going about ripping non-abused children from their loving mothers and fathers. THEY MAKE BASELESS claims against parents. HELLO, if you are GUILTY OF ABUSE THEN WHY AREN'T YOU ARRESTED AND TRIED IN CRIMINAL COURT WHERE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL????? WITH THE RIGHT TO
FACE YOUR ACCUSOR, AND THE RIGHT TO PRESENT YOUR EVIDENCE AND BE HEARD BY A FAIR JUDGE IN A FAIR COURT ROOM!! WITH YOUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS WHICH ARE PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION ARE LEFT INTACT THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE ORDEAL. IF FOUND GUILTY YOU GO TO JAIL. YOU NOT YOUR CHILDREN YOU!!!!! IF FOUND NOT GUILTY YOU GO HOME WHERE YOU CAN LOVE YOUR NON ABUSED CHILDREN AND WHOM HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN RIPPED FROM THE NON-OFFENDING PARENT TO FURTHER T
TRAUMATIZE THEM, AND WHILEST THEY ARE IN FOSTER CARE CPS AGENTS HAVEN'T ALREADY FOUND ADOPTIVE PARENTS FOR THEM THUS FURTHER KIDNAPPING THEM, AND LEAVING OUT THE NON-OFFENDING PARENT, GRANDPARENTS, AUNTS, UNCLES, AND FAMILY. CPS AGENTS ONLY GOAL IS THE PAYCHECKS. THEY GET HIGH OF THE POWER TRIP, AND THEY FOLLOW NO LAW!!! OH YES I DO KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE PRAISE THE LORD I AM WINNING MY FIGHT!!! I HAVE MOUNDS OF DOCUMENTED AND
TAPE RECORDED PROOF OF THEIR LIES AND THREATS. MY CHILDREN BEING TOLD TO SAY A PARTICULAR THING, AND IF THEY DON'T THEY'LL BE KEPT FROM THEIR MOTHER LONGER. YES THAT WOULD BE ME THE NON-OFFENDING PARENT WHOM HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING OTHER THEN A MOTHER TO HER CHILDREN. AND WOULDN'T YOU GUESS IT??? EVEN THE SO CALLED OFFENDING PARENT IN MY CASE NEVER ABUSED OUR CHILDREN!!!!! CPS FOLLOWS NO LAW, RESPECTS NO ONE'S RIGHTS, THEY DON'T EVEN FOLLOW THIER OWN POLICIES
THEY LIE, THEY THREATEN, THEY COERCE, THE COMMIT PERJURY ON THE WITNESS STAND INFRONT OF THE JUDGE EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE TAPE RECORDED THEM SAYING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!! (WE GOT LUCKY AND OUR WORKER GOT "DEMOTED".) ONLY TO BE PREMOTED AGAIN AND TO DO THE SAME THING TO ANOTHER FAMILY, HOWEVER MANY ARE NOT LUCKY AND MANY DON'T GET JUST ONE OF THESE WORKERS THEY GET SEVERAL TELLING THEM TO ADMIT THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THEY NEVER
DID ONLY FOR A MEASLY VISIT WITH THEIR PRESCIOUS CHILDREN, BUT THEN ONCE THEY DO THEIR RIGHTS ARE TERMINATED!! THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. WHY ARE POOR PARENTS GETTING THEIR CHIDLREN TAKEN FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY "NEGLECT" THEIR CHILDREN, WHY AREN'T CPS AGENTS HELPING CHILDREN BY HELPING THEIR PARENTS WITH FINANCIAL PROGRAMS, FOOD STAMPS, AND SUCH!!! NOPE THEY JUST RIP THOSE KID'S AWAY, WHY? $4.000 OR $6,000 IF THOSE KIDS ARE SPECIAL NEEDS.
YOU DO NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU MAKE UNEDUCATED GUESSES ABOUT SOMETHING THAT LEANORD AND I KNOW FIRST HAND!!!! LOOK INTO AFRA, NCCPR, LOOK UP SENATOR NANCY SCHAFFER, AND WAKE THE BLEEP UP!!!
You make the case for why CPS takes kids away from people. You need help.
I'd like to speak with just ONE person who has found CPS to be helpful to their family! And on the other hand, I HAVE spoken to hundreds who have been harmed beyond comprehension.
DC Reader, how STUPID of a comment. Nobody claims that parents have a right to abuse their children. Parents have an ABSOLUTE right to raise their own children however they see fit. Absent compelling proof that a parent is indeed actually inflicting bodily injury, the state has no business interfering. To allow CPS into a family GUARANTEES that MANY INNOCENT families will be broken and injured.
The State is the one WHO HAS NO RIGHT to abuse the People. Yet people defend CPS and encourage CPS to abuse children while twisting logic to say "parents have no right to abuse". How stupid can someone get?
Everyone should read the 4th Amendment a dozen times, and then THINK about what CPS is and does.
DC Reader says: "CPS is a friend to children and if parents act correctly, they have nothing to fear."
Wow. I will HAPPILY send you my entire case file. Maybe YOU can explain how I am not acting correctly. Maybe YOU can discern for me exactly what I was supposed to have done wrong. Maybe YOU can identify some act of neglect or abuse? I sure can't find it. And CPS sure can't answer any direct questions. And they have kept my kids hostage for THREE YEARS. I'd sure like to see your definition of "friend to children"!! With friends like that, who needs enemies?
And I'd like to challenge you to find me ONE parent who has "nothing to fear" from CPS. Aside from people with no kids, or parents who are employed by CPS or its contractors and affiliates. EVERYONE fears CPS.
Deep down, social workers are good people. That's why they should all be dropped into a VERY deep mineshaft...
Concerned Parent sez-"You make the case for why CPS takes kids away from people. You need help."
Leonard sez-
What an interesting choice of words. Several months ago, a male Child Psychiatrist got busted (in Texas?)for molesting BOYS.
I put the story on the front page of the AFRA website and made one of my usual comments. This psychiatrist HIMSELF wrote me back and assured me that I "needed help".
I wrote back to him and said "Help me get better Doc! Help me understand that boogering little boys is just fine".
He never wrote back. I am sooo bummed out. I never got the professional help I needed to understand that it's FINE for a Child Psychologist to booger little boys.
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." -Krishnamurti
~By the way~
"Concerned Parent" is a misnomer. You are no such thing.
I am guessing that you are a systemite tax feeder, deep in denial about what you are.
People like you are what caused the French Revolution. And the American Revolution.
"He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance." --The Declaration of Independence
To those who think that CPS is this wonderful, benevolent and altruistic agency who saves all the poor, wretched waifs, you've lost your mind! You're either one of those obnoxiously permissive parents or childless! CPS will get involved in your life if you pop your child's hand for throwing a cookie! If it's marketable, your rights WILL be terminated and that child placed for adoption for money. FYI, I hate stupid people too and there's plenty of them on here. Concerned parent, I can't wait until CPS shows up at your door. Don't come screaming to us when they legally kidnap and sell your kids. We warned you. Ignorance is not bliss and there is no excuse for stupidity and in your case, it looks like you have a large dose of each of those. If your family's life is so perfect, why are you even reading anti-CPS sites? Maybe it's not quite as picture perfect as you'd like to think.
I believe the author is writing all the supportive comments under fake names. There are not that many crazy people out there who hate CPS so much. My sister is an elementary school teacher and she deals with CPS ALL the time. She has to report abusive and neglegent parents for the sake of the kids. I think people who have had issues with CPS almost always deserved it. They just don't recognize themselves as abusers. They are in denial. I am a parent of 4 and I don't know ANYONE who has had their kids taken away or even had any issues. If the shoe fits...
Actually "Not buying it".
Speaking of fake names, is "Not buying it" your real name?
Brenda Alexander is a real person who has her own blog. Fern is a retired librarian in New Jersey, and she is AFRA's #1 NewsHawk.
I don't know who Mark Edwards is offhand, but it's more likely to be his real name than "Not buying it", "Concerned Parent", or "DC Reader".
So who has the credibility problem?
AFRA represents tens of thousands of voices, many of whom are too terrified to speak up. And some of whom have been gag-ordered by the courts not to reveal the rotten things that have happened.
If you have any intellectual curiosity, go to familyrights.us, scroll to the bottom, click on the number of visitors, which takes you to the Sitemeter stats. Click on Details. Then start clicking on 1, 2, etc and see the criteria people were looking for when they found AFRA.
You can't say I am making it up.
Or you could go to AFRA News. If you have intellectual curiosity.
Here's a great thought. Maybe I am making up these hecklers' comments just so I can have the fun of cutting their absurd arguments to shreds.
Naw, I don't have to. Anonymous hecklers are everywhere I go. Odd that they all sound the same. I chock that up to Publik Skool. And of course cauludge where thinking is homogenized into lefty arrogance.
Or do I have only one heckler that follows me everywhere I go?
Florida 20th Judicial Circuit Margaret O Steinbeck said in the final TPR trial that they weren't saying there was any abuse or neglect, or that there was anything wrong with me as a person or a father, they just didn't see any benefit in giving the children back. Does that sound like serving the best interest of a child, or a priorety in family preservation to anyone?
I was in a debate about this whole thing earlier this year. He made a comment that made me think... not think I was wrong but there was something wrong with the statement be made (logically error-ed). When I was talking about the corruption and abuse in the CPS system he commented:
"That kind of theory suggests something contrary to human nature"
Now let put that into another context. The theory that Parents are abusing their children. While we know that it happens but to what scale. Is that not against "human nature"
What is more likely? The BIOLOGICAL parent abusing their child for no financial gain? Or, The government agency to gain billions of dollars from the removal of your children to whom they have no ties?
There is more then ASFA (adoption bonuses) look into Title IV funding. with a min. of 30,000 per year per child (before special needs bonuses) and up to 150,000 for special needs (all this is not counting what foster parents make).
And now from below, a little Premise of logic (for those legal minded out there).
Is we assume the statement that;
CPS agents being humans is not or could not be corrupt because it is against human nature, is true, then the following premises would have to be assumed are true.
Nazi Agents were human.
It is against human nature to be cruel to other humans or corrupt.
then Nazi Agents could not have be corrupt nor cruel.
Ghangis Khan was human.
It is against human nature to be bloodthirsty and power hungry.
There for Ghangis Khan could not have been bloodthirsty nor power hungry.
Anything look out of place? Its the assumption that just because of the placement of a person rules them out from being evil. the above statements are obviously untrue.
now for a true premise:
If CPS agents have a lot of power.
And power tends to corrupt.
Then CPS agents tends to be corrupt/corruptible.
If you think that the author of this paper is writing under MY assumed name, then you're crazier than a loon. Read my blog. It's cpsasystemoutofcontrol.blogspot.com. My email address is bwalexander3@yahoo.com. I don't give a rat's hairy ass what you think but just let CPS get involved in YOUR life and see how loudly you start screaming corruption! Maybe in your perfect little world, CPS saves all these poor, wretched little waifs who are beaten within an inch of their life every day of their life if that helps you sleep at night. The sad, sad reality is, those are the children left languishing in those homes cos they're too damaged for CPS. They want the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, genetically sound, healthy little boys and girls cos they're the ones that bring in the money. Of course they'll label them with special needs for even more money. Stay tuned, not buying it cos I've got tons more to say to you!
Not Buying It, what planet to you actually live on? Oh, I know where it is...Your anus? Actually it's spelled Uranus but your brains are in your butt so I figure that's where you live too. Google Hassani Campbell, Shaniya Davis, Marcus Feisel, Zoey Sanderbox, Haley Gray, Tyrmain Peters, Krya Zabuh, and millions of other foster children who died under CPS's watchful eye. Children are 11 times more likely to be abused; 7 times more likely to die; and 28 times more likely to be sexually abused in foster care than in their real homes. A boy complained to his school his parents took him to church too much (3 times per week) and they told him to call CPS. They removed him from his home and was only allowed to return AFTER they promised he wouldn't have to go more than 1 x per week. Another mother lost her child for getting a sunburn while at the park for physical abuse. A friend of mine lost hers for not enough food in the home. She was on her way out to the grocery store. Nore...
Yes it socialism at it finest. It is a United Nations agenda.
BTW: Then Entire United Nations and all this global warming bullshit is coming right down to its knees. There may be hope for us after all.

Do you think we all got together and agreed on using terms like legally kidnapping, black market babies, cps system suck, CPS is organized crime, family cou
I assure you that Brenda Alexander is not a fake name by the author of this post as I am married to her. She has her own blog, her own Yahoo groups, social network, a moderator of many other groups and devotes 16 hours per day fighting CPS. The State of North Carolina made $85,000 on one of our daughters and $70,000 on the sale of our other. That's just ASFA bonus money. They made hundreds of thousands on them from Title IV-E funding. We fought 7 years. We won our appeal. We were never even charged with abuse or neglect. It was about "stability." We lost our girls even though we were found innocent of all charges (we were NEVER charged criminally, by the way) but lost only cos they'd been in foster care too long and they didn't want to take them out. What utter B.S. Keep right on believing there's not millions of people who hate CPS. I hope they come knocking on your door cos anyone that ignorant cannot possibly be smart enough to raise children.
Leonard, sorry for the gang commenting on here but you sure stirred up a hornet's nest! Good for you!!! I just love ignorance. I love shoving the truth in people's faces who think that CPS is this poor, overworked, underpaid agency saving the poor, wretched little children. What a freaking joke. They're living in a dream world where everything is sunshine, rainbows, lollipops and roses. What I would give to live in blissful ignorance. The state screwed us royally and our "trial" was later known around the courthouse as the "sham" trial. I heard people say, "Now, I expect a valid defense. You're not gonna pull an 'alexander defense' on us!" We overheard social workers bragging on how many children they snatched that week and was hoping to snatch a few more before the end of the week. Our trial lasted 5 minutes. We were TPR'ed at 7 months. Hey, but we won our appeal!!! The judge hearing our case had every TPR that year overturned on appeal. Her name, Judge Patricia Divine.
Nancy Wells, Carol Holcomb, Judge Patricia Devine, Gretchen Alwyn, Katherine Lesley, court-appointed defense attorneys Greg Heafner and Sandra Prelipp, Tracie or Tracy Trask, Ed Eubanks, UNC Department of Psychiatry, Bonnie Ferrell, Kathy Cole, Steve Garfinkel, GAL Karen Flynn, GAL Karen Davidson, whoever was in charge of the foster care system, and any others were involved in the legal kidnapping and sale of Lindsay and Robyn Alexander.
Three excellent North Carolina attorneys that I highly recommend are Janet Ledbetter, Elizabeth Hansen and Terry Milner. They worked their butts off and did an excellent job in their defense of the Alexanders. I highly recommend employing these if you have a case in North Carolina, especially an appellate case. They are not afraid of CPS. They actually do their jobs and do it well!
I cannot abide ignorance and fools. I am posting this on my blog so my readers can also leave their comments. Not Buying It needs to be enlightened.
To concerned parent you say "You make the case for why CPS takes kids away from people. You need help" so you are just as bad as CPS! Because they take children from their parents for nothing! including using their freedom of free speech which is merely what I have done!!
NOT BUYING IT I am more real than apparently you. My email is mpo2624@yahoo.com if you were ever
to become a member of AFRA you can see that I have many posts on their message boards clear not something any one would go out of their way to set up.
Not all parents are 100% guilty, and not all parents are 100% innocent either, but nothing warrents the treatment MOST families receive when CPS comes knocking at your door. And MOST of all ALL children don't deserve it!!!!!!!!
CPS abuses more children and well as Brenda puts it.... I agree for those of you whom can't see passed their own noses or backyards don't come crying to me when you get accused of "threat of harm" or something else so very vague and miniscuel that a CPS Validator oops I meant Investigator pins you with and your children get taking from you. They refuse to let your mother or sister take them, and you realize it was all because they wanted to sell your beautiful blue eyed blonde haired children!
Oh and by the way giving your children to family is LAW, but CPS follows no LAW!!!!
Mark Edward said, "Parents have an ABSOLUTE right to raise their own children however they see fit."
You're kidding, right? So if a parent decides they should raise their child by locking him in a closet and starving him to death, that's their "ABSOLUTE right?"
Wow. That's sick.
Not buying it says, "I think people who have had issues with CPS almost always deserved it. They just don't recognize themselves as abusers. They are in denial. I am a parent of 4 and I don't know ANYONE who has had their kids taken away or even had any issues. If the shoe fits..."
I'm on the fence here. On one hand, I agree that for the most part, if CPS is involved, parents "deserve it." And they are typically "in denial." On the other hand, I have been the victim of a vindictive ex who accused me of sexually abusing our child simply because he was ... well ... vindictive, a coward and scared. In cases where parents will do anything to destroy another parent and don't give a crap what happens to the kids in the process, then it is understandable why people would find CPS "evil." Thankfully, my ex didn't go that far. At least not yet. All he did was file a stupid petition with the court, which the judge made him revoke.
To Wendy - Suburban Philly Teen Issues Examiner-
Technically speaking, most of the news stories that have been published over the past several years about kids being locked in closets and starved were FOSTER or ADOPTED kids.
Similarly, the story of MARY ELLEN, see what started it all-
During the late nineteenth century there was a case that sparked American interest, the story of a little girl called Mary Ellen, so abused by her FOSTER mother that New York's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) stepped in to protect her. By all accounts this little girl was severely abused and mistreated. There were still bruises on her face the day she testified in court against her FOSTER mother. As the result of the Mary Ellen case, the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (SPCC) was founded, what many now believe to be the birth of Child Protective Services.
Not Buying it, you have got to be the most ignorant person in this world. CPS are nothing more than terrorists, they lie, threaten, stalk families and kidnap kids all for a BONUS. If i were you not buying it i would close your mouth because you make yourself look even more stupid and ignorant then you already are! You have just shown us all your lack of insight. CPS is evil! Brenda's and Leonard's articles are the real deal and they are real people! Doesn't say much for you, not posting your actual name like a coward. When CPS comes knocking at your door with false allegations and take your kids we can just sit back and say "told you so". So before you flap your lips learn the facts....if not just shut up and keep your biased opinions to yourself you Nazi CPS lover! Brenda and Leonard keep doing what you do we here in Tennessee salute you and support you 150%!!!
