• Motions for discovery would be honored.   
• The opposing legal team would certainly NOT hold one of the defendant's family members hostage to coerce statements from or use as leverage against our defendant to compel his cooperation.  See Kidnapping
• If this were a Civil case, if our defendant prevailed in court, he would be entitled to legal fees and damages.  In a Child Abuse case, he is NOT. 
• And finally, the case DOES become a Criminal case, after the "investigation" is completed without the accused enjoying benefit of his Constitutional rights. At which time, the charges are piled so deep, no lawyer wants to untangle them, and a Plea Bargain may be the ONLY way out.

"Mass incarcerations without trial or charge; forced confessions; children forcibly separated from their parents with no reasons given; doctored hearing transcripts and falsified court records; evidence fabricated against the innocent; government agents entering the homes, examining private papers and personal effects, and seizing the property of citizens who are under no suspicion of legal wrongdoing; special courts created specifically to convict people who cannot be convicted in ordinary courts; children instructed to hate their parents by state functionaries: Is all this the Soviet Union in the 1930s or Communist China in the 1960s? Is this some novelist’s prognosticated dystopia? No, all this and more is routine in the United States today. - Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D December 18, 2007 TOTALITARIANISM IN AMERICA

"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)

The truth is, CPS is utterly corrupt, manned by malfeasant and evil people operating an agenda foreign to American Liberty, who have no authority and act far beyond the constraints of the Constitution.  They are not law enforcement and they enforce no law.  They depend on scaring people into VOLUNTEERING their Constitutional Rights away.

Children in the system are in terrible danger-

"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

That's why American Family Rights Association exists.  We help people learn how to defend themselves against CPS allegations, because there are very few lawyers who know how.

It would be a wise thing for ALL PARENTS to know ahead of time what CPS is and learn how to answer a CPS agent's questions when she brings the allegation to YOUR FRONT DOOR.

"Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own." --Aesop (c. 550 B.C.)
