What's happening with Federal Government financed Child Welfare

The Child Welfare system (hereafter called "CPS") is dysfunctional across the United States and every other westernized country in the world because it invites bureaucratic abuse of power.

"Bureaucracies are beautiful mechanisms for the evasion of responsibilities and guilt." -Warren Bennis

Nothing better could possibly happen when an entire agency operates in the belief that their "work" is so important that it supersedes the Constitution of the United States, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

In the United States, CPS is operating far beyond the LAW- 42 U.S.C. §671 (a) (15) and 42 U.S.C. §672 (a) (1) [Reasonable Efforts]; and 42 U.S.C. §671 (a) (19) [Kinship Preference]. 

CPS routinely denies children their Fourth Amendment Right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Few of the people who find themselves accused, have actually committed any impropriety, let alone any crime.  The last statistics we saw indicated that 85% of all reports are "screened out".  Which means those reports were more than likely "mandated reporters" who are terrorized by the threat of loss of professional licensing, or general "busy bodies".  Of the remaining 15%, at least half of those are maliciously accused.  See "The Silver Bullet".  CPS certainly doesn't care.  Their response is a "knee jerk"

CPS doesn't do what you may think it does.

The law says to help the families first, which would eliminate practically all of the "Neglect" allegations due to poverty.  Many of us are already living barely better than Third World settings, and CPS in your life can quickly deliver you there.

Not all of us can afford to live in a spiffy, perfect home, and not everybody cares about white glove inspectable.  We once heard of a CPS agent doing a "home inspection" who was complaining about toys on the floor.  The children were playing with them at the time.  The mother had to inform the CPS agent that there are children living here.

If CPS had to actually HELP people instead of terrorizing and legally abusing them, CPS would leave us alone.  No money in that for them and the colluding "professionals".

"He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance." -Declaration of Independence

Going to sleep when in charge of kids is not a sign of neglect. Leaving a teenager in charge is not unlawful.  Things happening to kids that you don't know about is not neglect.

The "Threat of Harm" and "Failure to Protect" categories are even more vague and subjective, easily leading to agency bureaucratic abuse.

Spanking is not unlawful, but it might as well be, because histrionic CPS agents easily spin a spanking into assault and a Hate Crime.

There is NO LAW we know of that specifies what constitutes a "Messy House".

Having a teenager go evil is hardly a parent's fault in this society that disenfranchises parents and immerses kids in the popular culture.

The law says reunification work FIRST (Reasonable Efforts), or placement with extended family (Kinship Preference).

There is hardly even a pretense of reunification effort, with very little and begrudging extended family placement.

Therefore- we believe that CPS is committing FRAUD to collect the funding.
