American taxpayers fund a racket that wrenches the stomach. That is CPS. Some of those involved claim their are just following orders, others just pocket the bounty on children wrenched from their parent's arms. Nuremberg answered the question of orders; profiting from human trafficking should be a capital offense. by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Under 5 years, blond, blue-eyed - $6,000.00. a top of the line product
We are going to take you behind the lies into the ugly truth that is destroying families for profit every day, in every community across America. You won't want to believe it but when you see their faces, hear their voices, you will understand why this is happening and what it means to your own life, even if you don't have children.
The same system that views children as commodities to be sold also has plans for you. There is a solution and we will get to that.
The CPS steals children using the system paid for by citizens who believe it is being used to protect those in need. That is a fraud; the system actually pumps money into the personal accounts of all those involved in the system, converting children into cash while destroying them and their families. The number of children who emerge from the system, able to function normally, are near zero. Some are never seen again.
The system used includes three stages. The first phase is to shock and intimidate the parents into consenting to let their children be processed into the system. The second phase is to force parents, terrified for their children, to begin a process of 'case management.' That process is a template that is designed to push the parents into emotional meltdown and bankruptcy. The third phase is to sever the parental rights entirely and sell the children.
In the wake of this trauma families are atomized, destroyed. Parents and grandparents never again see the children who connect them to the future. Children lose their past and the anchoring each of us needs to develop into a healthy human being.
Those who carry the process through the stages are well compensated. Agents, Case workers, judges, physicians, clerks, and others expect and receive compensation for services often not even delivered. Compensation takes place through corporations. State employees who fail to take children out of homes are penalized; many of these leave the system which has been converted from a system originally intended to help families to one that profits those in control.
Across the country, CPS experienced high turn overs in case workers struggling under impossible work loads for many years. Good people, motivated to help struggling families were frustrated and unable to help; those are the kinds of caseworkers who simply quit. Cases of extreme abuse while children were in foster care were common. Nothing about the system gave cause for hope it was working. Then the picture changed. The idea that instead of providing services the system as a whole should move to the model of generating income took hold as the concept of privatization was widely adopted by government. Privatization, introduced during the Reagan Years, was pushed by think tanks that saw government, a corporation itself, as the logical partner for other large corporate interests. Children, roads, military services, each of these and more were recalibrated to provide income to those in control. In this way, the problem with social services created an opening that in the late 1990s allowed the least ethical to profit from the pain of others.
PL 105-89 (HR 867), passed into law November 19, 1997, was intended to ensure that children who could not be reunited with their birth families could be placed in loving homes. But those entrusted to carry out the desperately needed changes found the measure enabled a very different agenda. CPS agents and caseworkers could be trained to look at their industry as a profit center. The system began to view children as product to be harvested and parents as barriers to be demolished.
The system became a template for kidnapping, carried out by barely educated caseworkers who were told that they made the law. This itself had become a tenet of belief held by those in power as the foundations of Constitutional law continued to be eroded by a judiciary who graduated from law school ignorant of America's foundational documents. The shift from Constitutional law to statute and whim of court, low-level government employee, and law enforcement is documented in "The Anti-Government Movement Guidebook," published by the National Center for State Courts in1999.
The stage was set and the feeding frenzy was about to begin.
The process goes through three stages of slow death; ripped from their families the children are bewildered, afraid, vulnerable to the system. The process hinges on secrecy and an asserted immunity from accountability for all involved. Power, through the official but unacknowledged transfer from the Constitution to government by statute, code and whim, renders all of those outside government vulnerable. Caught in that process parents lose track of all the things that brought happiness and normality to their lives. Years later this will mark them. Most will never recover.
This is the story of three families. Each of their stories is still in motion because the pain never stops.
Stage One
Manatee County, Florida has long made a business of stealing children. Families who settle there do not know that, however. They are attracted to the weather, the beauty of the area. If they knew they would never settle anyplace in Florida, which is arguably has the most corrupt CPS system in the nation. The County is run by a Board of Commissioners who meet at this well polished table.
Children are a commodity for which there is a steady and growing market both in the United States and across the world. Child sex-slaves arrive in Europe and elsewhere from unspecified locations; children taken from homes routinely end up in the porn industry. It has been going on for many years but since it did not impact most of us it was easy to ignore. But as counties across the country have cycled down into bankruptcy the need to pump harder for every buck to be made has become more compelling. Today it is not just the most vulnerable who are targeted but families that would before have been passed over as too well connected. In Manatee County the pumping is in fast forward.
Monday, June 2nd 2008
The two young sons of the Roberts were dropped off at the home of their babysitter, Christina Holbrook, residence11534 57th Street Circle East, Parrish, Florida. Both parents work. Michelle and James Roberts are both veterans of the US Navy who met while in service to their country. Both came from families with long and honorable histories of serving in the military.
Their oldest son, had been disciplined by his father the day before for jumping up and down on his baby brother, a potentially life-threatening activity. Spanking was the kind of discipline James himself experienced as a child growing up in Tennessee. The spanking had left a slight bruise.
CPS arrived at the babysitter's home at 9:30am. They proceeded to strip the two boys and photograph them in the nude, questioning them for an hour. This was a bewildering and frightening experience for the boys.
The first James and Michelle heard of this was when Michelle received a phone call at 3:30pm from Alicia Habib. Habib presented herself as an agent for Child Protective Services, demanding that the couple present themselves for an 'interview'. No criminal complaint was presented. But the process of intimidation and fear was launched.
Here, Michelle and James find out, to their shock, that the kids have been stripped and photographed. Left feeling as if the ground had been cut out from under them they endured with shock the moment when the deputy sheriff read James his Miranda rights. He was not charged; no criminal complaint was served. Michelle is interviewed. They are given orders. Michelle is to be present when James saw their children. CPS is moving towards building paperwork to take the children away from their parents.
During the interview they were shown the photos taken of their naked children by the deputy. The children's faces were frozen in tears. He did not show them all the photos, keeping them under the paperwork. Michelle found his behavior intimidating. As the photos were shown he questioned her about their use of discipline.
Soon Michelle and James will realize that the CPS has no power unless they give it to them. CPS depends on the ignorance of ordinary people. The first phase had begun.
The system ground them out fine; dehumanizing them and working with fine-tuned intention to show them, by its actions, that they had no rights and no recourse. At the end of the week a hearing was set; they were now being launched into the second phase of the process that intended to wrest their children from them. But during those endless days they began to come out of the shock and consider their alternatives. They considered the Constitution and the rights they knew they had both sworn to defend as members of the armed forces of America.
Michelle loaded the two boys in their car and drove them hundreds of miles to the town where James had grown up. There, she left them with their great-grandparents. When you are seven months pregnant no long drive is comfortable, but for her children Michelle would risk anything.
In the car she prayed that she would not miscarry the baby held so close to her heart.
The two young parents are both veterans of the War in Iraq. Each had joined the Navy, after looking forward to serving their country from their early teems. She planned this as her career, since 7th Grade. He, since taking in ROTC in High School.
But they had joined a military that they believed cared for its own and kept its promises; after finding that their small son would be have to be left with someone else while both served in the war zone, they resigned. Their son, Lukas, was born the following October.
Now, they knew what the military is about. To them, they were just bodies to fill slots that civilians could fill at twice the pay. Never previously interested in politics they began to think about how the world was being run.
From the time you join you are told he is your commander and chief. She was not a Bush fan, but you cannot say it without fear of reprisal.
But Florida CPS was not finished with them. Although they did not know it, Habib stood to make nearly $10,000 as her bounty for taking the children, both very adoptable, from their home.
They never could have imagined that the elderly great-grand-parents would be threatened with arrest, but that is what happened. They began studying the Constitution; This, they knew was the real law in America. If they understood it they could use it.
Now they understand that they should never have talked to CPS. If they had not, CPS would have had to leave them alone. CPS uses fear and intimidation to force the appearance that there they have entered into a 'contract' with parents. But since a valid contract cannot exist without the elements of disclosure, consent, and equitable exchange this is a fraud. All parents get is bankruptcy, heartbreak, and too often death.
The Case Plan Ploy " Adam Umholtz
Adam comes from a family that lived in a log cabin in Pennsylvania. The cabin was 230 years old. Made of chestnut beams that are from a species that is not extinct the beams were hand hewed and rectangular and criss crossed. Adam's dad was a pastor for the Southern Home Mission Board. Adam's younger brother was born there, in the horseshoe shaped valley that was filled with berry bushes and food they grew themselves.
Adam went to school at the Advanced Training Institute of America, now the ATI. Now he is an entrepreneur, or was until his life and family was hijacked by the CPS. Adam's children were taken from him and his wife on Monday, July 28th, 2007. They were given a case plan that it was impossible to fulfill.
As part of the 72 goals laid out in the plan was one requirement that Adam attend a class for sexual offenders who had served time in prison. This was impossible for Adam to do. Adam is attending a study on successful parents and couples, a study in which he and his wife were invited to participate. Both parents are strong Christians who take their faith seriously. Neither parent has ever been to prison for any cause, much less a sexual offense. The charges were falsified made by a neighbor who was later charged with having committed a sexual offense themselves.
Adam cannot attend the classes available because he has never been to prison and has never been a sexual offender. He is not eligible for the class in any case. So the court told Adam to confess to a crime he did not commit to get his kids back. The court has an agenda. If Adam confesses they have a clear track for severing his parental rights. The lack of justice does not bother the court or the attorney who has urged him to confess to a crime he did not commit. They are all paid through the process that steals children for resale.
Parents are routinely told that to 'complete their case plan' they must fulfill requirements that force them to leave jobs that prevent them from attending classes scheduled from 9 " 5 on work days. They are told they cannot be self employed. Every possible block is put in their paths to complete a 'requirement' that is pointless in any case. The same pattern is reported by parents across the United States. Angelina Alexander, a parent in California was told she must quit her job as a taxi driver because she was self employed. Yet she had taken the job, the only one she could find, to fulfill the requirements to attend classes. In her case the report that took her small son from her home was from a former boyfriend who had never seen the child. Complaints that the charge was false were ignored as her processing continued.
Mainstream Americans are at risk today and have no idea what is coming. In Adam's case the CPS had targeted the kids because they were homeschooling and because they had building materials in the back yard. Then a malicious neighbor, made sexual allegations. The neighbor was later proven to have lied.
But the fact that all the 'charges' were illegal did not stop them from forcing you to undertake the 'Case Plan.' There were no charges but they had already taken their eight children out of the home. If the family had known they would have refused to talk to CPS.
Adam and his wife are now approaching bankruptcy although they are better off than many couples because at least they do not have to hide to keep the child still living with them. Most parents face the same problem. Attempts to fulfill the case plan make it impossible to earn a living or are impossible to fulfill. There are no charges. There have been no charges. There will be no charges. As with most couples, they force the father to leave so that they will have a clear shot at grabbing the children from the mother.
CPS has continuously made false allegations, added their youngest child, born after they took the original eight children, to the present case, and over and over ignored the orders of the court. One of their daughters in foster care is suffering from a wound on her foot, acquired in the foster home, for which she is receiving no treatment. The wound continues to fester and they can do nothing.
Although there are no charges Adam and his wife are allowed to see the kids only two hours a week with supervision. And the court continues to threaten to sever their parental rights. Adam does not intend to let that happen.
Adam and his wife are considering their options now that they understand the fraud that has been perpetrated. Those options are growing, along with their understanding of the Constitution and how the system in place has worked to negate their rights.
Phase Three " Severing Parental Rights
Greg Pound and his wife, Malissa, had their parental rights severed in November of 2007. The incident that brought CPS into their lives was a simple accident. A friend's dog visiting their home bit their baby. It could have happened to anyone; the dog's owner was desperately sorry, the dog had never harmed anyone before. Accidents happen. There was a time when an accident was treated with offers of assistance, not viewed as the means for grabbing children from their parents and their home. But that was before those in power noticed the opportunity PL 105-89 (HR 867) offered them.
For four years the Pounds saw their children for just two hours a month. Looking at the children, across the barriers built by CPS always reduced them to tears.
The last time the Pounds saw their children was at the YMCA in Pinellas County. That 'not for profit' is paid 125 million a year, just for that county, according to Pound who says he has researched the subject exhaustively, to 'babysit' kids as they meet their parents in a stark ten by twelve foot room for the two hours they are allowed to be together for those months when they still hoped to be reunited.
The system is intended to separate children, a valuable commodity, from their parents. Mandates to reunite children and parents are consistently ignored as children are processed further and further into the system. What then happens to the children varies, but is in all cases appalling.
Along with the system abuse of families parents attempting to work in the system report that FOIA requests on such routine matters as copies of the Oath of Office and bonds, required by the Constitution, for each judge or elected official or law enforcement officer, are not produced, despite repeated requests. Many ask, over and over again, why such requests should be met with silence and hostility. Parents continue to struggle to regain custody of their children and to exact accountability from those who claim sovereign immunity as government employees from the impact of their acts on ordinary Americans. The claim of sovereign immunity for those employed by government is, according to Constitutional experts such as not employed by government entirely without foundation.
The three families whose cases appear here each report that they will never stop fighting. Each family is presently filing a civil rights suit against those involved in their several cases. In light of yesterday's revelation on child-sex rings, operating across the United States but very present in their own areas of Florida, their questions are ever more anguished as they deal with the echoing emptiness of homes that once held the laughter of children.

SENATE SET TO RENEW 1997 LAW THAT PAYS CPS TO KIDNAP CHILDREN
S. 3038 is the renewal of ASFA '97, the act that gives the states BILLION$ to kidnap and adopt out children on the flimsiest anonymous allegation, even known malicious false accusations.
Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (PL 105-89), also widely known as ASFA '97 was the program designed to promote and increase the number of adoptions from foster care by rewarding states that increased adoptions each year.
ASFA '97 sunsets on September 30, 2008.
In the Senate RIGHT NOW is the re authorization-
Improved Adoption Incentives and Relative Guardianship Support Act of 2008 (S. 3038)
Thanks to Leonard Henderson for continuing the dialogue on solutions!
Most people have a hard time believing that the system can be so corrupt. It takes time for them to believe it. In the beginning there is a lot of shock and disbelief. One of the things we are doing with CopperCards is beginning the educational process early, before there is a problem, and giving people the tools to assert their Constitutional rights. If we all did that we would be free.

That article is totally right on! Same thing happened to my family, only I'm here in Corrupt Fremont County CO, also the most corrupt, vile place on Earth. Here is a recap of my story:
The Fremont County Colorado DHS stole my 3 children from my husband and I over a year ago and gave them to my lesbian mother and her 'partner'.I do have an attorney, but he isn't doing much.I don't want my kids raised in a lesbian household.I was and I have severe depression and anxiety!I was also physically abused by some of my mother's many 'lovers'.Also the judge involved in this case is a known lesbian and there are many lesbians in this corrupt county.The Social Services caseworker didn’t even let me see my kids for Easter or take them to church,when I have NEVER been accused of abusing them!My case is based on the fact that my son, who was 2 at the time, was left outside for a mere 30 seconds, and a nosey neighbor called The Fremont County CO Dept.of Human Services.It took them 6 months (with plenty of 'help' from my mother and her partner) to invent a case against us. In April of 2007, my attorney has informed my husband and I that the children's Guardian Ad Litem had hired a private investigator who had supposedly seen my husband drinking. Is this even legal? This is pushing the boundaries of government spying to a new level! One of our 'caseworkers' also distorted, I mean reported, that she had seen my husband drinking at the bowling alley (he bowls every Monday night). Our case is only a dependancy/neglect. I feel that the government is taking this way too far. Our caseworker is also friends with my mother & her ‘partner’.She has been over to their house on social visits and even admits to that.That is a big time conflict of interest, but I reported her to the State Board in Denver, who just sent the complaint back to DHS here in this county, who of course, found nothing wrong!I attended the rally in Washington DC on August 18 to help put an end to abuses by Child Protective Services!

CPS also gave us major hoops to jump through, which we did! This included: a psych evaluation for me (done, of course, by one of their paid 'specialists' who said I have 'borderline personality disorder'...I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety in the past, never with that!), drug & alcohol testing for myself & my husband (I have NEVER had a substance abuse problem!), counseling, which CPS had access to PRIVATE sessions, dumb me, I thought there were HIPPA laws, but they don't apply when CPS are involved, parenting classes (very LAME), drug & alcohol classes for my husband, random UA testing for my husband (which were all NEGATIVE). I think that was about it.
The real stab in the heart was the snatching of my baby as soon as she was born. They wanted to pimp her out for adoption! This was done under the speculation that there 'might be abuse'. Well, there was NEVER any abuse to begin with. Just a very flimsy neglect case that would not hold up in a real court! My mother & her partner fueled this case with their lies and false allegations, which CPS believed. My poor baby daughter is raised by my mother & her partner. MY mom's 'partner' has developed an unnatural bond with this child which I find disturbing. My poor son is always put in time-out, and they let him dress as a princess last Halloween. My attorney (whom we PAID out of pocket) was totally incompetent, and we found out later that he works as a GAL for DHS here. Everybody was against us. I'm moving to another state next month to try to obtain a different lawyer to get our children back home where we love them & they need to be!

Yes i have a 5 yr old autistic son that was taking off on his bicycle to the local city park.We had called the department of children services for information on how to get testing paid for because the state insurance we have wouldnt pay for it.The case worker came to our home to meet jacob.We had left her alone with him for a minute at the kitchen table as our girls 6 and 9 were getting off the school bus. When we came back in the house she was sitting alone at the table. I asked where jacob was and she said she didnt know. He had gone out the back door to the back yard and had gotten on his bike and was gone again.At that point are oldest daughter and our grandson had showed up .We was all looking for him .My wife called 911 my daughter myself and the caseworker eva hoffman was on foot and in are vehicles looking for him. Officer dan rosegarner had found him and returned to the house.The caseworker said that she would help and that she would have some people contact us to give us info on how to get him tested and or evaluated in the next couple of days. Nobody came or called meanwhile we had taken his bike and installed alarms on the windows and doors as well as putting a tracker on his shoes.A couple of weeks went by and we had called numerous times to find out when the help was coming be4cause he kept on taking off . The dAY SHE WAS HERE SHE SAID WE NEEDED TO CALL 911 WHEN HE TAKES OFF TO PROTECT OURSEVES. Then she came to the house with a form for us to sign . It was an informal adjustment that she said would enable them to help with financing doctors to evaluate jacob. I said i wasnt signing anything without a lawyer but she said it was just a formality to enable the finances of the doctors and i didnt need a lawyer.Five weeks went by and nobody called or showed up.We had called every day leaving voice mails that were unanswered nobody returned our calls. Then on may 29th we was cooking outside on the grill and all the kids were playing and jacob got on the neighbers bike and went around the corner. i went the other way to cut him off at the pass so to speak. There was an officer around the corner with a car pulled over he then followed jacob back to the house. This time there was no 911 call involved. The next thing we knew there was a lady named mischell rudolph at the door to remove jacob from our home.The very next day we had to be at a hearing at the courthouse.The judge ruled with them to keep him in foster care till he knew more.Allthough we did show up with a lawyer who used to be the dcs attorney for the same office. The following tuesday we had another court appearance and the lawyer had all the so called child in need of services ammended down to a lack of so called supervision.Then we had supervised visits with jacob at the dcs office monday wednesdays and fridays for the next two weeks. During these visits jacob was starved he ate three apples four banannas abag of chips a candy bar and a six peice mcnugget and wanted to bag up yhe rest to take.We found out that there was seven children three bewing teenage boys staying in the two bedroom house where the foster parents live.We had called everyone including the governers liason the director of the dcs in indianapolis the regional director in our area the president of the autisum society in indiana and the associated press among others. Jacob was tested by two doctors during this time one saying that taking him out of the home was the wrong thing to do and whatever was going on with jacob was not a result of bad parenting .Since then he has been returned home but they are now trying to impose this class that class and the other class on us . We were allso subjected to drug screens on two occasions without a court order both with negative results.We agreed to it just to get him home. Allso during this time jacobs mother has been diagnosed with heart disease. We are in our late 40s we have eight children and five grandchildren and have three children younger than our grandchildren. We have been parenting for 28 yrs. We have children older than the caseworkers. Now we have a disposition hearing set for the 8th of july, They are crazy they have been absolutely no help they have cost us our savings our health and have broke our hearts and are still posing an imposition on us. They keep saying repeatedly that there sorry they appolagize and that they are looking in to that. SINCERELY David W Hopkins
It comes as no surprise that Florida has evolved into a snakes den of corruption in pseudo 'Nanny Government' parenthood (including of course CPS/DCS, but more prevalent in social assistance programs), when you consider the massive influx of 'snowbirds' establishing residency there... same story in Texas.
I remember California in the early 1980s around the vast military presence in the state. At one point in Murphy Canyon Navy Family Housing the families had pretty much decided that if CPS showed up on the front door, kids were spirited out the back door and the family moved to the mothers hometown within days, especially in cases where the husband was deployed to sea on a ship. Everybody pitched in to make it work smoothly.
I was told at one point that Navy babies were highly sought after in the Calif adoption racket.

If you want to see what Democrats will do, just look at Washington State. Here they rule and have for years, put our state 3 billion in debt, doubled child removal from 2006-2007, have me feeling like I live in a police state because you can't go anywhere without seeing an officer yet want to hire more, are turning crime into a major business as evidenced by all the new prisons/jails being built and implement pet projects that end up being national programs all over CPS and family court. Every time you hear of a CASA worker going against a family, or no due process in family court, or concurrent planning (a plan to adopt and a plan for reunification going at the same time but don't be fooled by that either. The REAL plan might be to adopt), think of Washington State and the Democrats.
They have reduced the Omsbudsman program to a statistic gathering organization more so than a CPS watchdog. There is no authority in Washington State against CPS. Legislators have even gone to court with families only to have the courts and CPS disrespect them. The courts are in bed with CPS for federal funding and often side with them regardless of the evidence IF they will even hear the parents side of the story. They have taken away any and all rights for extended family leaving parents extremely vulnerable. Hospitals are now going after the federal funding and are in the child removal business. Heaven help you if your child has an accident and the doctor decides to call CPS with bogus claims. Plan on spending thousands for forensic scientists. If you can't afford that, bye bye children.
Children are dying all over the state in CPS care 6-1 over parents but you don't hear about that in the liberal media. The media only discuss parental abuse to keep the Democrats happy with their adoption incentives coming in. They take their statistics off of long term dependency as it pertains to relative placement - but don't be fooled. Less that 1/4 of REMOVED children get placed in extended family care. They are not counting the unsubstantiated removals who often take months before they are resolved. They are screening most relatives out or dragging their feet on relative placement then telling people "you are no longer bonded therefore we have to adopt out." They are not following the law as it pertains to relative placement and family preservation.
Bottom line is: VOTE DEMOCRAT AND LOSE YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
CPS/DPSS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (RIVERSIDE, CA) FOR KIDNAPPING OUR CHILDREN WITHOUT CAUSE
We are organizing a class action lawsuit against the County of Riverside, the State of California, and all parties involved in unlawfully detaining and holding our children against our will, and without cause. We have documented the deep, imbedded corruption in the “social services” agencies in California. We have filed three lawsuits so far, and are looking for other families who have also been annihilated by this evil. Go to the link at www.Fightcps.com to join the fight to save our children.
We have not even been able to have a Contested Jurisdictional Hearing yet, and on March 6, 2008, Riverside County and CPS will continue to attempt to gain legal support to attempt to adopt out our beautiful, healthy, infant daughter, completely AGAINST OUR WILL, and against the law. Neither one of us have any history or usage of any illegal drugs, and Amber was born with an APGAR score of 9.8, with absolutely NO DRUGS in her system, against wheat CPS declared to court. The DRMC hospital test was tampered with and was wrong. That is the ONLY basis for their illegal abduction of our newborn infant, and it has been an illegal "legal loophole" battering of our Parental rights ever since. On August 8, 2007, our newborn daughter was illegally and forcefully taken by Michael Biles of Banning CPS, with the help of eight others at Desert Regional Medical center, with no court order nor warrant, and no police present. He physically threatened mother and newborn with severe physical harm, and we have fought for our daughter since. CPS contrived multiple hearsay untruths and presented falsifications to the court, without our knowledge. On September 7, 2007, we have documented proof (by email) that we had asked our attorneys for a "Continuance" so that we could attend the Jurisdiction Hearing on September 10, 2007. When we arrived that day, we were told we arrived "too late," and the record shows no request for a Continuance was requested by our attorneys at all, who later stated they were in correspondence with us "the entire time" although CPS claimed they could not locate us. Judge Christopher Sheldon then granted us a "Contested Jurisdictional Hearing," and then suddenly, the case was transferred to Southwest Adjudication Center, where Commissioner Fernandez declared he lacked the power to render a Judgment on another Judge's decision to have the Contested Jurisdiction Hearing, then Fernandez took it off calendar, where it stands today......we have been denied our daughter in this illegal kidnapping, and we have located proof that the County of Riverside and DRMC routinely set new mothers up this way, very often to take newborn white, healthy, drug-free babies to sell them on their own twisted underground baby market. We have been violated entirely, and we will keep fighting for our daughter, as she has now been SOLD on this open baby market.
I work in the family law system. I believe every word of this article. Like I've always firmly believed, at the root of every issue such as this there is the buck $$$$$. Why is there an economic reward here...there should not be...that is clearly a conflict that does not belong in the picture??????? I have talked to several mothers in the past year or two...they are told that if they don't want their children taken from them they must file restraining orders against the fathers of the children. The latest one I spoke to just yesterday, dad got mad because somebody else looked at mom and stabbed a few shampoo bottles with a knife, didn't come after mom or the kids with the knife, didn't waive it around, didn't scream at the kids...none of the above. They bulldog these people and count on their ignorence of the law and their rights. Cps knows damn well they don't have enough evidence to do what they are threatening to do so they bully the mother into doing it for them....and apparently like I suspected they are being paid to do this. I told the mother to call their legal office and ask them why if they feel they have the evidence to take her children they don't just file it...she said she'd call me back and tell me what they say. The cps worker in this case is a ex-policewomen...gee that's got to be a step down for her, go from a badge and a gun to sitting behind a desk, probably wrinkles her shorts no end so she takes it out on the clients...and gets paid handsomely to do it apparently. Florida has become a state where only those with money have any rights......it's past time for the Feds to get into this. I believe this happens in florida because of who votes down here...the old people either don't have these issues or have enough money to pay big guns to be sure they don't so they don't care how the poor and lower middle class are being treated. Privitization leaves too many doors open for abuse, anytime a company gets paid for how many cases they handle you're going to have abuse. This state has forgotten what due process is and this is not the only area it happens in.....it's got to stop here and now.

Kansas is investigating the illegal seizure of children from families on falsified documents. The CPS Secretary stated the Sedgwick County DA "bullied" Social Workers into filing false affidavits to remove children. Please support the children and view the link below for more information:
Children are a commodity in the business model propagated by those in power. To effectively change it we need local action and shared information. Many fighting the greed of those who have abscounded with government are working today but it is helpful to track those who are responsible since they are often moved around when they are exposed. Also, we need to know what justifications are being used so we can warn parents and protect children.
If you want a yahoo group for this purpose, let me know and I will start one.
My family is in Hillsborough County in Florida and we are living thru this very nightmare. I am reaching out to anyone & everyone that will listen & may have any suggestions. I have found that these organizations answer to no one and no one will take accountability for them. I am willing to go as high up the ladder as I need to in order to be heard and stop them. If anyone can give me any advice I would really appreciate it.
Thank you

After being told today by a lawyer that it would cost 10 grand to get my daughter back, I am on a mission again to tell the world the truth about the dirty business America is in of selling kids.
I am desperately looking for help and I have contacted all parties here as best I can via email.
Thank you so much for this article and shedding light on the truth of this matter.
Florida is a very disgusting place and the business of selling kids for profit is absolutely despicable.
Praying for a miracle to see my babygirl again one day.
The dcf of florida in Santa Rosa county, plus the familys first network of santa rosa county florida are making a very big strife in legal kidknapping as well, people please beware of this,my four grandchildren, has been taken. two years ago, the story is very very long.but i can assure you this,the corruption from the judges down to the caseworkers, was as lowdown and dirty, as anything you have read in this site.

When cps started on me it was because my child was gifted, i was raped here, and they attempted to transmit the hiv to me, to substantiate some case in court, they called my employer here, detectives and police officers, in a panic i began to write washington who returned the favor by responding to me that these were klans men, judges, lawyers, and everyone my so called lawyer lester bass, a drug addict, who WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEFENDING ME, called me a crackhead.
unfortunately it has become so histerical with the duval county courthouse, and them that they are being ordered executed by the state department for enemy action. I couldn't have possibly bought on that type of complaint since according to those judges i'm just some nigger, and they would have given me my kid back if i "wasn't so uppity". so anyway i took my child to washington and hid in a safehouse there while a launched my complaint with the congressional black caucus. Their arrogant and racist mistake was to chase me around the district and p.g county maryland, where black law makers are powerful. and now they are being served with death warrants for treason and human trafficking.
couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people :)
The State of Florida is worse than the KGB. Myself and my daughter are a victim of this state as well. The problem is nobody ever believes our stories. We are met with, if they took your child, there had to be a reason for it, which is the farthest thing from the truth there can be. My daughter was given to relatives. They deserted her at the age of 16. The told her I never wanted her. They told her that they did not know where any of the family was. They never told her she was adopted, until she found out herself. Florida duped me into leaving the state, which resulted in more battles. The judges know the system is lying, the proof is provided. In my case, HRS had to admit to the lies. Judges turn their heads.
Nobody can hurt my baby anymore. The system, the relatives have hurt her badly. She is damaged emotionally. But, this past week, my cousin finally caved in and gave her the phone number to my father, which is her grandfather, but only after he called my father to tell him how terrible she is. He went and picked my daughter up. For the first time in 16 years, my baby almost 19, felt the arms of her mother around her. We will help her with love and patience, hoping to undo the damage that has been done, or at least help her through it. She now knows the truth, she knows she was not given away, she knows she was always wanted, and she now knows that she is not alone and will never be alone again.
You are so blessed. So many parents never see their parents again. I'm praying all is well for the both of you, now that you have found each other again. Melinda
My child was KILLED by a foster mother in 1992. It was never publicly announced (newspaper or tv reports) and the woman ran a foster home until she retired. Now they refuse to help my underage daughter. I have more - try 30+ years of DCF/HRS intimidation against my children and myself as a child. Anyone from this website want to contact me to learn more? I can blow their doors down literally. DCF caseworker sexually abused my child in 2007. And I have so much more - emails, threats, voicemails, all of this saved and so much more. Email me for more info.
Oh and the emails I have are from the person who is truly abusing my child. I also have emails from Gov. Scott and Gov. Crist both declining to do anything about the continued abuse and forgiveness of the perpetrator as well as they sexually abused her when she was only 6 years old - at her abuser's insistence. I have emails from DCF supervisors and caseworkers, I have a caseworker who when was made aware of admitted stalking by an abuser who had an RO in place against him - the victim was told to build a ten foot high privacy fence. It took over a month for deploarable conditions by this same man to be investigated by DCF. I have so much I could say here but I want to expose this system. Oh yeah another little tidbit, I know of a case in the 80's in which the young girl was being molested who was told by Judge Byrd to go home and get along with the abuser and "do what he told her to do". I wonder if that included allowing him to rape her? Contact me please!!!
Please exchange website url links with us as we want to support families and children uk and worldwide we need professionals and we need the public to voice your opinion now.. www.parentsinjusticegroupscotland.co.uk so if you can help us we will help you we are a worldwide forum for child stealing by the state and social workers adopting children for no reason.
We like to link with parent support groups mental health child abuse falsely accused and disibility groups worldwide please join our free website and blog your story or tell us about your group..
ABOUT US
We have been created by the need to fight widespread social care injustice and abuse of draconian state power. Children are being ripped from their parents simply because they are considered "unconventional" or even single.
Just like pigs we rootle under the surface to find those golden nuggets of truth hidden beneath half truths, targets, idealised aims and a " not my decision " culture.
In fact we are the truffle P.I.G.S. of the social care world.
Our aim is to help and support parents who have lost their children through spurious reasons. Low income, untidy house, learning difficulties,disabled, bad diet, disorganised lifestyle or a perceived non cooperation with social services.
We don't claim that these are fully acceptable but if the money wasted by the legal and social system was spent helping families with these difficulties there would be no need for their abusive and draconian behaviour.
The whole system cannot be seen to have made a mistake, so they cover up any dodgy decisions. Everyone has seen how government and bankers squirm out of responsibility for their actions. Even sympathetic solicitors have little chance against this state conspiracy.
The worst thing about the whole rotten business is that the children pay for the rest of their lives. And it doesn't stop there. Their children end up suffering too. Three generations affected by inept decision making, it's beyond criminal.
So please get in touch however hopeless and battered you feel. We can and will make a difference to you and your children.
Please Angelique Jackson contact me I am dealing with that same Lawyer Lester Bass who is now an majistre for the duval county court system who will soon be a dependency judge of duval county. It is of exreme importance that you contact me at 904-762-6745
Adam Umholtz plead guilty to charges of child sexual abuse when confronted with multiple witnesses against him, including the sister who lived with him in that cabin in Pennsylvania and whom he molested there and other places for years. He will be incarcerated for many years and deserves every bit of it. He has shredded his family (multiple generations) by his actions and left many hurt and damaged people and relationships in his path.
He is not a role model for anyone, and using him as such destroys the credibility of any person or organization who does so.
I truly feel what you all are going through. My wife and I are fighting Pinellas CPS now. We know our rights, and we also know this state intrustion into our home is unwanted, unwarranted, and in violation of our civil rights. We are being "charged" with leglect, although no criminal case is active. My wife refused to get a restraining order against me, and refused to go to a battered womans shelter after a argument between us. We stopped talking to CPS and refused their "services"... probolly the smartest thing we could have done. If your children are under 4, white, and you are low income, understand this; NOTHING you can do will keep them away. Cooperating with them, their deceptive "safety plan", or evern just talking to them, is DANGEROUS.
Don't. You have rights. They can NOT come in your home without a warrant.
The threats are BS. These scum prey on people that don't know better. You have ZERO obligation to participate in their safety plan, talk to them, or let them in your home.
The moment you let them in, talk to them, or SIGN ANYTHING (and i mean ANYTHING) you are participating in their game, and they will not help your family, but gather evidence to SEPERATE your family. PLEASE, do not comply and do not sign anything.
When CPS (Pinellas County, or any county in Florida, comes to your door, grab a recorder (smart phone) and answer the door POLITELY tell them that you do not ceonsent, or give them permission to come onto your property without a warrant, AND all conversations around your person and household will be RECORDED. I wish to god we would have done it earlier, because even by the CPS (PCSO Employee) worker talking to us the first two times, was too much and too much of what we said was taken out of context and USED AGAINST us in the Dependency Petition.
SAY NOTHING. Except you do NOT CONSENT to their involvement, and they will be recorded.
God help all families. There is no tyranny, like that which comes from the people who say they are there to protect us.
Follow the money. Research, and come together with others in your state for colelctive class action litigation against DCF/CPS, and here in Florida, the county sherrifs office (who runs CPS in Florida counties).
Constitutional/Civil Rights: Use them, or loose them (along with your children).
If you are in Florida and your suffering the same terrorism as my Wife and myself, and thousands of other families, let's come together on common ground, for a common goal, and for our childrens future.
