While you are busy complying, the ASFA15 out of 22 months clock to Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) is ticking, ticking, ticking. "Oh, I'm sorry. We forgot to tell you about THAT. Sorry, but that's the 'law'." Oddly enough, it's one of the few LAWS they do "obey". Parents rarely recognize what is going on. They are scared to death and blindly VOLUNTARILY COMPLYING with every whim and wish a CPS agent makes as if we live in North Korea. The light bulb usually doesn't come on in their heads until about 2 days before the TPR hearing (or in some cases until YEARS later)- "HEY! I THINK WE HAVE BEEN HAD!" FULL STORY

accurate for every state- Video to Help WV Parents Navigate Child Abuse Legal Proceedings CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) The state Supreme Court is releasing a video to help parents navigate court proceedings involving child abuse and neglect. Posted: 12:33 PM Nov 18, 2010 The state Supreme Court is releasing a video to help parents navigate court proceedings involving child abuse and neglect. The release is part of the court's observance of National Adoption Month. The video, entitled "The Time is Now" explains how the court system and professionals make reasonable efforts to work with parents and to reunite families. It also discusses how parents' rights may be terminated if it's deemed to be in a child's best interest. The video was paid for with a grant from the federal Administration for Children and Families and with matching funds from the state Supreme Court. Highly educational- Sounds friendly! I sure wish it was what really happens. |

| CPS worker testimony, immunity, perjury A case worker, about to give testimony under oath should be required to give up their immunity to prosecution before being allowed to testify. (Immunity to prosecution means they can NOT be prosecuted for perjury when they lie) The oath of truth is of no value, when they do not give up their immunity to prosecution. You should instruct your attorney that you will accept nothing less. If you are representing yourself, you should stop the case worker before swearing to tell the truth, when testifying in court, tell the judge that you want the case worker to verbally give up any immunity to prosecution before swearing them in, for the record, because their immunity makes it impossible to to assure that they will tell the truth. Also tell the judge that if they are not willing to do that, they should not be allowed to testify because of their immunity to prosecution. At least get it on RECORD, for your APPEAL! -Linda Downs |

October 16, 2009 Family Rights Examiner Leonard Henderson Last year, I was cleaning up my computer desktop. One item I came across was a poignant photo of a FLDS girl alone on a bus waving goodbye to her home and the life she knew. As I was looking at this image, it struck me that- This IS a photo of the "Best Interest of the Child". And then it struck me- This is a NEW Civil Right That is, the child has the "right" to have her life decisions made for her by government. HER "BEST INTEREST" CIVIL RIGHT.

Grounds for Termination of Parental Rights State by State Permanent termination of parental rights has been described as "the family law equivalent of the death penalty in a criminal case." In re Smith (1991), 77 Ohio App.3d 1, 16, 601 N.E.2d 45, 54. Therefore, parents "must be afforded every procedural and substantive protection the law allows." |

| Believe it or not,
everybody's case is pretty identical. The CPS has led you to believe you are some kind of
"special case". The absurd accusations they have brought against
you are NOT a "mistake".
It is a SCAM to keep you dizzy with fear. They have not "misunderstood"
you. THEY ARE DOING IT DELIBERATELY.
If you happen to be one of the EXTREMELY LUCKY FEW who have found this website BEFORE you are accused OR you have a situation where you believe YOU MIGHT BE ACCUSED in the near future, please read- If you are ever approached by Social Services
Answer their first, simple questions truthfully. If Johnnie or Suzie told the social worker they fell off the bicycle or down the stairs or hurt themselves on the trampoline, THINGS MIGHT be OK. Make sure you document this immediately after the interview happens. Recorded or Videotaped is great too. Beyond that, we advise that you cite your Fifth Amendment Right not to volunteer to tell them anything. Anything you say most assuredly WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU. Anything you say will come back twisted into a virtually unrecognizable tale. The version of YOU they fabricate would be unrecognizable if it didn't have your name smeared all over it.
Most often, falsely accused parents do not seek help until their case has become quite hopeless. People find Parents Rights Advocates like us when they have become DESPERATE. Usually, any money they had- has already disappeared into a law firm that did not present anything close to a defense. So what are you going to do now that YOU ARE BROKE?

Represent
Yourself in Court: How to Prepare and Try a Winning Case
(Paperback)
by Paul Bergman (Author), Sara J. Berman-Barrett (Author), Lisa Guerin (Author) "This book provides the information you need to prepare for trial and represent yourself in court..." Reviews: From Library Journal- The nuts and bolts of self-representation in court are presented in this detailed, sensible book. The authors describe the legal process from the investigation of the case through the collection of a judgment, with an emphasis on what happens in the courtroom. Bergman and Berman-Barrett share the procedures and methods a lay person needs to survive in an environment that is not necessarily friendly to nonattorneys. Understanding that in the law the devil is in the details, they take pains to avoid oversimplification, and they do an equally good job of illuminating concepts like burden of proof and procedures like marking and identifying exhibits. The authors highlight important information with icons that alert the reader to a practical suggestion, warn of a potential problem, or refer to other resources on the subject. Highly recommended for even modest legal self-help collections, including those that already own Robert Schachner's How and When To Be Your Own Lawyer (LJ 3/1/ 93).

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 SFGate.com 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.
