Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Not “Happy Holidays” as the liberals prefer. I don’t follow their “political correctness” scam to limit what we can say in any way. I say “Merry Christmas” and “happy New Year”. This is the end of 2009. Hopefully, 2010 will be the year when we foil Obama’s plans by taking away his voting base in Congress. He currently has a voting majority there, and the Republicans can’t do much more than whine and gripe, and attempt filibuster of his idiot plans. This doesn’t work very well when he has the votes to invoke cloture. So when the election comes, vote AGAINST all Democrats and every Republican who is acting like a Democrat. Get those people OUT of there and, hopefully, Obama won’t be able to complete his planned takeover and collectivizing of this government. It’s up to you. Unless you vote them out, he will continue to destroy this country a little at a time, until we can elect Sarah Palin in 2012. (Just common sense)

Merry Christmas!

I will not bow to the liberals’ political correctness dictate that I not mention “Christmas” in my greeting to you on Christmas day. The whole idea of eliminating the word “Christmas” from a greeting concerning the birth of Jesus Christ is stupid. But then, everything the liberals in Washington (and other government centers) do or say is stupid, so I expect it of them. Whatever your religion, using the name of Christ in a reference to His birthday is logical, and I am logical if nothing else. I respect ALL religions, even though I may not agree with all their tenets. So Merry Christmas to all, whatever your religion. I realize that may “offend” some, but that’s too bad. Trying to limit my free speech offends ME. (Just common sense)

"Troublemakers"

A six-year-old child who brought his cub scout eating utensil to school to use in eating was suspended, and sent to a special class for “troublemakers.” Seems to me the people who ARE the “troublemakers” in this plot are the “school officials” who aren’t intelligent enough to realize such a utensil in the hands of a six-year-old is NOT a “dangerous weapon. Looks like “cooler heads” have prevailed, because they have “backtracked” on insisting he be put in “reform school” and have allowed him to return to school. I just wonder what the hell is WRONG with these “officials! (One News Now video)

Children Killed in Foster Care

These are the worst cases imaginable. Children taken from their parents because the “child protectors” say they will be abused, and are killed. The “child protectors CLAIM to “protect the children but, more often than not, the children are not “abused” by their parents, but are KILLED by “the system. If they’re not killed by” the system, they are ruined for life by it. The “systemic problem here is “the system” taking the child as a FIRST OPTION, and often (a MAJORITY of the time) finding NO abuse on the part of the parents, and getting the child KILLED by “the system. Studies have shown that THERE IS NO abuse in 80% of all cases. Which means “child protectors” are so busy pursuing false abuse cases, they don’t have time to find REAL cases of child abuse, either at home, or especially not in foster homes. They are “hard-wired” to suspect abuse at home, but not in foster homes.

So they miss much and torpedo their efforts to find REAL child abuse. If they’d just RECOGNIZE it when no abuse is found, rather than pursuing ALL cases as if the “report” itself was “prima-facie evidence” of abuse, they might actually uncover REAL cases. The “child protectors” say I’m “against child protection.” I’m not. I AM against child ABUSE in the GUISE of child protection. I am against the oppressive means they use to harass innocent parents unconstitutionally. Against child protection? No. Accusing me of being against child protection is their means of discrediting the truth I tell about them and their scams. But the numbers speak for themselves. (Physical abuse in foster care, 160 to 59 at home). That’s THREE TIMES the abuse children suffer at home! Sexual abuse? 112 in foster care to 12 at home. You cannot argue against these numbers, and they come from The National Center on child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN). These aren’t coming from me. I’m just passing them along. (SUNCANAA)

CPS Out of Control

Wal-Mart employees reported what MIGHT have been child porn when they saw pictures of a naked child in a bathtub, taken by their parents while on vacation. They did it because they MIGHT have been included under the law that FORCES people who regularly come in contact with children to report ANY possibility of child abuse or be in trouble themselves (Under the Child Abuse & Neglect Reporting Act [fed. legislation passed in 1974]), Which is okay, if the “child protectors” didn’t take this and “run with it,” taking the children from their parents on the “off chance” the pictures, which were innocent pictures like most parents take of their kids, MIGHT be child sex abuse. It wasn’t. But the “child protectors, who have “dirty minds,” took the children anyway, and kept them for a month, collecting a “fee” from the feds for every day they were “in the system.” (Under the Child Abuse Prevention And Treatment Act of 1974 (CAPTA). When they finally came to their senses, they returned the kids (though they usually keep them and put them up for adoption, abuse or not, and collect $4,500 to $6,000), but probably charged the parents thousands of dollars for “the cost of foster care” which they neither wanted, nor asked for. That’s how CPS makes their money. I wish I could say this is an unusual occurrence. I can't. It is common. (Denver Examiner)

We Don't Always Lose

One Father in Missouri that the Missouri VOCAL (Victims of Child Protection Laws) organization worked with finally got to see his son after SEVEN YEARS “in the system.” A baby sitter falsely accused this father of sexually abusing his then 4-year-old child. But the child (whose “coaching” apparently didn’t “take,”) said nothing of the sort ever happened. The charges were eventually dropped, but that meant nothing to the “child protectors,” who viewed him as guilty even though he was acquitted (they just couldn't prove it). CPS kept the son, and his behavior kept getting worse until he was finally imprisoned in “Boy’s Town,” where the father is now able to visit him. This resulted in the boy’s behavior improving. The “child protectors” did irreparable damage to this boy (and his father) but will never admit it, although they are now talking about letting him go home with his father. (This story came from VOCAL of Missouri)

Controlling Your Children

Obama and other liberal socialists know they have to get to the children when they're too young to know better with their insidious message of socialism as an ideal. "Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government's coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development. It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading 'home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children.' “ With this, their control over your children will be complete. This takes it much further than did the “Child Abuse Prevention And Treatment Act of 1974 (CAPTA),” which gave local “child abus . . .protectors” the INCENTIVE to interfere in your raising of your children so they could “criminalize” parents and dispense with their parental right to complain when their children are taught socialism as an ideal in school. Hitler knew if you could get to the children early, it would be easier to control them later. So does Obama. (The Patriot Post)

Another Step

Obama’s government is taking one more step in the direction of destroying the rights of America’s parents to make decisions for their children. No parent wants his/her child to be sexually active at 15 to 17 years of age. But this law, which allows those as young as 17 to buy a “morning after pill” WITHOUT their parents being notified, does so.. This means they can gaily have sex at a very young age (an age at which an adult would go to prison for having sex with them) and get a “morning after pill” without their parent’s knowledge. For my part, I want to KNOW if my 17-year-old grandchild is having sex, so I can at least advise them on safe practices if nothing else. The very fact that she needs a “morning after pill” tells me she’s not having “safe sex” and could very well be infected with a dangerous sexually-transmitted disease and not know it until too late. This trend is evident, not only in this instance, but in the way parents are treated by “child services” whenever somebody makes an ANONYMOUS “report” of child abuse, sometimes at the advice of a lawyer to get their opponent’s mind off a suit in another action entirely. Since there is NO penalty, even if the “report” is a vicious attempt to hurt an innocent person, gives people an INCENTIVE to make such reports while the “child protectors” treat such “reports” as “gospel.” As “prima-facie evidence” that abuse has occurred, treating the parents as “guilty until proven innocent” while their “captive courts” accept the worker's OPINIONS as “evidence,” rather than the hearsay it usually is. (Yahoo News/AP)

Get to the Children Early

The Nazis knew the best way to have no trouble with the populace in the future was to “get to the children early” while they’re too young to know what’s best, and teach them what you want to teach; in this case, collectivism (socialism). So they passed a law: The Child Abuse Prevention And Treatment Act of 1974, (CAPTA). This law set up a system of BONUSES, paid to local child protection agencies at every juncture. When they TOOK children as a FIRST OPTION, with or without proven child abuse. While in their custody, they can “program” them in any way they wished. Moreover, they could “put the fear of God” in parents and eliminate parental rights, based on real, or IMAGINED child abuse therefore stopping them from objecting effectively when their children are being taught collectivism (socialism) as an ideal in school. They paid “the locals” for every HOUR the child was “in the system,” and for every DAY.

If they were able to revoke the parent’s rights and put the children up for adoption, they got $4,500 to $6,000 PER CHILD from the government. That this gives them an INCENTIVE to take children from their parents on the smallest pretext, keeping them as long as they can, and finally putting them up for adoption need not be said. Locals themselves made money in the form of “bonuses” for the number of children they were able top take from their parents for “performance.” They received promotions based on their “performance,” and THAT means more money. Yes, SOME are just “good people” doing a “hard job.” Others do whatever they have to do to get those bonuses and promotions. The “good people” are often ORDERED to do things they don’t wish to do by their bosses, who are often just looking for those bonuses. It’s a scam to deprive parents of control over what their children are taught in school. (Just common sense)

Controlling Your Children

The government already controls what is taught your children from age five up, which has already created a country made up of "collectivist (socialist) believers," since even the TEACHERS now are such, having been brought up in this socialist-teaching atmosphere. Now they want to control them from BIRTH. “That, in essence, is what Barack Obama proposes in his " ‘Zero to Five’ plan -- a collection of programs aimed at getting the government involved in the raising of your children literally from the moment they are born. Not only would his plan increase the incentives for mothers to put their children in someone else's care -- but parents who insist on caring for their own children will be taxed more to pay for it while getting nothing out of it. Down the road, mothers who refuse will be PROSECUTED as “child abusers.” The mechanism is already in place. That's the way it works. (Human Events)

I'm NOT Against Child Protection!

I saw a billboard once that consisted of many repetitions of one phrase: “Never hurt a child!” Over and over again. I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment. Unfortunately the people who put up that billboard do not mean a word of it. People criticize me because they THINK I’m against child protection, but I’m not. I’m against what PASSES for child protection today, preventing the “child protectors” from having time to go after REAL child abusers. They have “hot lines” set up where you can call in an ANONYMOUS “report” of child abuse. They take that as “prima-facie evidence” of child abuse and TAKE the child as a FIRST OPTION while forcing the parents to “jump through many hoops” to avoid being falsely (mostly) charged with child abuse. They do everything they can to CRIMINALIZE parents so they can ultimately put their children up for adoption, therefore earning up to $6,000 PER CHILD if they’re successful. More than 80% of ALL child abuse reports are NOT sustainable (by their own figures, which they play down), yet they treat EACH one as if just the report is evidence of abuse. This robs them of the time and resources to go after REAL child abusers. This is why so many children ARE raped, physically abused, even murdered, mostly AFTER abuse has been reported in their family.

They just don’t have the time or manpower to go after all of them, so they continue to harass people even after it has become obvious there is NO child abuse in their family. They use such murders, and those that actually happen IN their custody as “fund-raisers” when they happen, claiming not enough money in their budgets, and therefore not enough people to do all the work. When the “investigation” ends, they get a bigger budget, fire or transfer (lateral shift) a few low-ranking workers (victims), hire more top-echelon people, and it’s “business as usual.” They’re in it for the money. They get FEES from the feds at every juncture, from the first HOUR after TAKING the child from his/her parents. Every step they take profits the “child protectors” one way or another; mostly in the form of “bonuses” for “good work” (meaning how many kids they are able to take, and how many adoptions they can arrange). If these people were really interested in “protecting” children, they’d recognize it when a parent is innocent of abuse and use their time more wisely, going after REAL child abusers while NOT abusing the child themselves by their practices.

In Arizona they used to have a “medical procedure” called Plethysmography (I think that’s how they spelled it) where they put a penis-shaped probe into the vagina of a child as young as 12 and showed her government-made pornography to “judge her level of interest in certain sexual acts. With a boy it was a ring-shaped sensor placed around the base of his penis. If the boy had supposedly been sexually abused by a man, they used the penis-shaped sensor in his anus to see if he liked it. If this is NOT “child abuse,” I don’t know what is. When they were “found out,” they stopped it. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing it again now—or just doing it somewhere else. Sexually abusing the child while calling it “treatment.” I was the VICTIM of the “child abus—protectors” early in my life. They stole two of my children while I was out of state, arresting my second wife for child abuse. They couldn’t prove it (even in THEIR “captive courts”) and the charges were dropped.

But they kept the boys and put them up for adoption after giving me an erroneous day for the supposed “final hearing” at which our parental rights were to be revoked so I didn’t show up. Previously, every time I showed up, they postponed it. The day I did not show up, it was done in ten minutes. I have not seen my two boys in more than 35 years. I don’t know if they’re alive or dead. No charges were EVER lodged against me and the ones against my wife were dropped. But they destroyed my family anyway. It’s even worse today than it was then because they passed a federal law to MAKE it worse. The whole scam is being fed by FEDERAL “fees” paid to local agencies from the moment they take a child from his/her parents. So they have a definite INCENTIVE to take the child as a FIRST option. THIS is why I’m against “child protection” as it is today (Just common sense)

Teaching Children About Gay Sex?

In California (Alameda: I don’t know if it’s Alameda County or the City of Alameda. The story doesn’t say) they insist on teaching KINDERGARTEN children about gay sex to “eradicate homophobia,” a “made-up word” to intimate that anybody who is against homosexuality is somehow "mentally aberrant." I have nothing against what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms. That’s their business, not mine. But when they INSIST on teaching KINDERGARTEN-age children about ANY kind of sex, I draw the line. I don’t much like it when they simply OFFER such courses. But I’m violently OPPOSED to it when they make it MANDATORY. Of course, the “child protectors” have been working to destroy parental authority for a long time. I guess they think they’ve made enough progress in that direction that they can call any parents who object to such teachings “abusers” and get away with it. I don’t think so. (One News Now)

"Business As Usual" at CPS

“BUSINESS AS USUAL” AT CPS: “The Sacramento County grand jury ripped Child Protective Services in a report released today, saying the agency has ignored repeated recommendations for improvement and that CPS has ‘persistent, recurring and systemic problems resulting in child abuse-related deaths.The Grand Jury has reported on the shortcomings of CPS since 1996,’ said a cover letter from grand jury foreman Donald W. Prange Sr. ‘Findings and recommendations have fallen on deaf ears. Nothing Ever Changes ... Ever,’ he typed in bold-face.” Is anybody surprised? This is what happens every time the “child protectors” are “investigated.” They ignore the court’s orders and continue to do the same things that got them in trouble before. More children are killed and abused (sexually and otherwise) and they continue to “poor mouth” us using it as a "fund raiser," saying they’d “like to do what the court ordered, but they’re too ‘slammed’ with work and just don’t have enough money or people to get the job done.” Of course, that’s a lie, but the court believes them, gives them more money to hire more people, and life (for everybody but some of the children) goes on--until the next child dies or is sexually or otherwise abused and they can’t hide it. Then we do it all again. (Sacramento Bee)

This Is Child Protection

“In September, an HSLDA [Home School Legal Defense Association –RT] member family in Sinton was visited by a social worker who had a list of allegations an anonymous tipster had called in. The list included that the family homeschools, that the children are sent to bed ‘really early’ and do not play with neighbor kids, and that there are firearms in the home.” All things that are legal to intelligent persons. In this case this “dastardly family” sent their kids to bed too early and they must be punished! They also homeschooled their kids and had firearms in the house! (Last I heard, there was a constitutional protection for “guns in the house”) That’s the opinion of the “child protectors.” How stupid ARE they? They also punish parents for “grounding” their children for “acting out,” and for other things parents do to be able to control their children. Thus, they “send a message” to your kids that their parents have NO authority over them and they can do as they wish. That all they have to do is “drop a dime (now a quarter) on their parents if they don’t like the way they’re being punished and the “child protectors” will take care of it. Then, when they predictably get in trouble, they (the “child protectors”) want to blame the parents. This will ultimately destroy parental authority over their children. But that’s what the “child protectors” are after. Then their parents cannot object when their schools brainwash them to believe socialism is a “good thing” (as one of my nephews told me one day).
