The "Power of God"

"The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services erroneously labeled 3,051 innocent people as child abusers by placing them on the state's official list." And the law requires that once you get on the list, innocent or guilty, you have to remain there for five years. That this can ruin your life doesn't seem to matter. 'They're not all bad, there are good ones,' Nick Brunstein reportedly said of state child abuse investigators, 'but the bad ones have the power of God, and with the stroke of a pen they can ruin your life.' " And they do it routinely in ALL states. These people have WAY too much power. They need to be "reined in." (World Net Daily)

Typical "Child Protector Trainwreck"

"If the head of the Florida Department of Children and Families doesn't get mentally ill inmates out of the Pinellas County Jail soon, she might join them behind bars. A Pinellas judge Tuesday charged DCF Secretary Lucy Hadi with seven counts of indirect criminal contempt for failing to get the inmates out of the jail. The maximum penalty for each of those counts is five months and 29 days in jail." This is a typical "trainwreck" with the child protectors. Judges created the problem by increasing the number of mentally ill people in jail by 100%, then got "irate" because the child protectors couldn't "magically" come up with the money to obey the court order. But they did. They magically "found" $5 million dollars "under seat cushions on the couch." Whether this is enough to solve the problem, nobody knows. But if it isn't they're going to have to "find" more, or the director of the agency is going to jail. Notice all this does NOTHING to "help" children. Janet Reno would be pleased.

Removing Consequences and Making Hoodlums

I've long said that when you remove the consequences for an act, people are going to DO that act and expect to get away with it. The biggest example of this is the "know-nothing do-gooder" who knows nothing about what is going on, but who sticks her/his nose in it anyway. Nothing is a better example than the situation below: "The liberals have been taking away our rights and liberties for years, and this is just another example of this invasion of our privacy. ‘The woman that started this whole thing took offense to a child being spanked for acting bad. She had no idea what was really going on, but she made it her business to butt in.' And I will tell you where this whole idea of crap is going to end up. We are going to have, in the future, a generation of hoodlums who have grown up without any idea of what is right and what is wrong. [That's in bold because it's the most important thing in this post. -RT] To them there will be no consequences for their actions, and there will be no stimulus for them to do the right things. The only input that these children will have, is negative input because when they are good, nothing will be said. When they are bad, they will be called victims by the authorities and they will be coddled by the government and taken away from good parents." This is liberalism at work.

Easier Release of Child Death Info

In Memphis, they're trying to make it easier to get the release of information about children who die of child abuse. But you'll notice nothing is said about children who die while IN the "child protection system." The information about those deaths, beatings, and rapes will continue to be hidden behind their "confidentiality" policies to "protect the children," dont'cha know? I think those "confidentiality laws" should be altered to allow the release of information about abuse suffered "in the system," so the "child protectors" cannot hide behind "confidentiality."

Yet Another "Governor's Committee on Child Abuse"

Gov. Ritter is incensed that 13 children have died last year IN CUSTODY of the child protectors, so he's "forming a committee" to look into it and come up with "changes." Maybe they'll do something concrete. I don't know. I was a member of such a committee a couple of governors ago, and when I came up with some concrete things wrong with child protection in Colorado and some suggestions to go with them, from that point on, I couldn't find out when or where the next meeting was. The next year, the committee completed its work and the child protectors (predictably) got more money to pay for "more people." The government is the only place I can think of where you can use incompetence as a "fund-raiser." Nobody got fired, although a number of low-level workers got "transferred" (a "lateral transfer"). I hope the same thing doesn't happen again. I'll be watching. (CBS 4 Denver)

Not Like the Branch Davidians

When local cops went to Warren Jeffs' "child sex compound" after a child called them complaining she was forced into sex with a 50-year-old man, it was not like Waco. At Waco, they just wanted to "take down" the group and used possible sexual abuse of children as their excuse, and wound up killing many of the children they told usd they went there to "save." Here, there is a "compound" where it is well known "old men" regularly screw little girls who have nothing to say about it and are afraid to say or do anything about it. The courageous child who called the cops has not been found, and might even be dead, killed to "save" their "child sex compound." They may never find her, or her body. This is what happens when the "child protectors" treat every "report" they get as "prima-facie evidence" of abuse, even if no proof is there and thus, have such large caseloads that they tend to ignore such things as Jeffs' "compound" because it's too much work. They only notice when they get a call from a VICTIM who says she has been repeatedly raped by "old men" without her permission, nor knowledge that she has a right to refuse. Finally, they went in, when they HAD TO, and found HUNDREDS of small girls (after the article linked here was published) who had been similarly sexually abused on a regular basis. It was a "way of life" for them, for as long as they could remember. So what will happen now? The "child protectors" will excuse their failure by saying they "don't have enough people nor enough money." Then they will get more money and more people and will, as usual, have used failure as a "fund-raiser" while life goes on, "business as usual." (Parrerico)

Screwing Little Girls

Jeff's "Yearning for Zion" Compound

Warren Jeffs and his "co-conspirators aren't just having sex with a lot of women. They're also having sex with little girls. They SAY they're "marrying" these little girls, but they're "marrying" them in wholesale numbers and against their will. These little girls have nothing to say about whether or not they want to have sex with these "old men." These "old men" have convinced their parents it's okay to "marry" children at just barely teen-age. This is not a case of "religious tolerance." It is a case of "child sex abuse" DISGUISED as "religious tolerance." These people should be "put away," and forced to register as sex offenders, as would happen with the average sex offender. There's nothing worst than this kind of person, who would claim "religious authority" for their child sex abuse. They've still not found the little girl who called them, which makes you wonder what happened to her. Did they just change her name and hide her, or is she dead. Are these people just "child-screwers" or murderers, too? Gawd, I get so sick of hearing stories like this! I'm offended that there are people like this allowed to remain in this world. There are some people who are only still alive because it's illegal to kill them, and these people match that description. This is one case where I wish the "child protectors" had not been so busy going after innocent parents that they had no time to go after this KNOWN child abuser compound. (KUTV)
