However, most families really do act in the best interests of their children, and a hospital's rapid assumption that they cannot is not only becoming more widespread, but more disturbing, as well.<br />Thanks for your post, David.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-92038699577053744762013-11-25T00:46:52.630-08:002013-11-25T00:46:52.630-08:00There needs to be legislation brought forth (a sor...There needs to be legislation brought forth (a sort of parent's bill of rights) that prevents and instigates severe sanctions against hospitals and caregivers that interfere with the rights and bonds between parents and children unless it can be verified that they are refusing to act in the child's best interests in a life or death situation, or abuse or neglect can be substantiated. Then again, social services so often gets it wrong both ways that I don't have a lot of confidence in them either. But most of the time, I would still default in favor of the parents and family.

Parents were told that their only validity was to be a worker. The state "specialized" in raising children and a parent couldn't possibly have broad enough resources to do so. Besides, you would be keeping your child from all sorts of opportunities for potential gymnastics and music education if you didn't deliver him at just a few weeks old to a state school. We all know how that ended.<br /> This is exactly where we are headed. In Europe there are jailings and confiscation of children simply for effective homeschooling. Look at Germany. It's coming this way, and our Congress won't stand up against it.<br />JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-36360368650071202572013-11-23T05:49:12.506-08:002013-11-23T05:49:12.506-08:00It seems that children are property of the state, ...It seems that children are property of the state, not individuals under the care and guidance of their parents. They get brainwashed in the government schools, where data is collected on them and sold to the highest bidder. They are forcible inoculated, often against parent's wishes. They are taught by our culture to be promiscuous, then relieved of the consequences without parental notification. They are confiscated from good parents by CPS and often delivered to bad. They have their homemade lunches deemed unacceptable and are fed chicken nuggets and Ritz crackers. Why not just take them from their parents and lock them in institutions?

We know that the most traumatic thing that can happen to a child is to be ripped from their parent, even if a parent is not ideal, children benefit immensely from being with their own people. The only time that children should be removed is when the family is so fractured as in severe drug abuse or severe alcoholism, or true clear abuse as in sexual abuse, that they are completely unable to care for their children. Foster care has a pretty abyssmal record of keeping children safe itself. I would also like to see Children's Hospitals who take custody of children have the pants sued off them too.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-58926012641575397642013-11-22T09:11:17.565-08:002013-11-22T09:11:17.565-08:00Jane, thanks for sharing this.

I had read about it but I do believe we need to spotlight stories like this all the time. <br /><br />My husband and I fostered children and I promise you~I cannot think of a reason I would turn any parents in. SERIOUSLY. I have gone and talked with parents and shared parenting ideas etc, BUT never would I place a child in a system that requires that he/she is in the system so that salaries are paid. NEVER. <br /><br />Of course I am not insane, and my husband was a police officer, so I would alarm law enforcement and PRAY. <br /><br />Parents must coach children on ways to get information out etc, in the event a situation like this occurs. I am pretty impressed that she did get messages out...seems like the will to survive and thrive is powerful in her. I pray she sues and they get 14 Trillion dollars. I mean if we can toss that to and fro in our government debt...why not at least give a shock judgment that will then be brought to a seemingly small number of 1 billion dollars!<br /><br />JenniferHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-52460650791916755872013-11-21T18:11:37.523-08:002013-11-21T18:11:37.523-08:00Linda, I am glad your daughter wasn't take...Linda, I am glad your daughter wasn't taken.<br />With a son we adopted as a teen, I have heard a number of horror stories of life in multiple homes in foster care. It would make it very difficult for me to turn in a family to social services knowing what the end of that can look like. Sadly, physicians and nurses are required by law to report any signs that may be abuse.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-66973328752968701822013-11-21T18:08:47.625-08:002013-11-21T18:08:47.625-08:00Mamma Bear, Thanks for your post.

There are also cases where parents tried in vain to get help for a child with a psychiatric issue and no one helped until the child hurt or killed someone. The system either ignores the situation or grossly overreacts.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-68261075877646825042013-11-21T17:46:58.904-08:002013-11-21T17:46:58.904-08:00What I write is hearsay from an acquaintance and I...What I write is hearsay from an acquaintance and I have no reason to believe it is not true. A five year old whose ADHD medications were changed and he threatened a teacher with a pair of blunt ended scissors. School made him go to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrist recommended to the state of Florida that he needed to be institutionalized. Parents fled the state of Florida to Georgia. State officials came to their home and removed the little 5 year old and is now in custody in the state of Florida. Parents have been fighting in the courts for almost a year to get him back.<br /><br />Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-53076711636000640542013-11-21T17:32:55.736-08:002013-11-21T17:32:55.736-08:00I was on the cusp of losing my daughter because th...I was on the cusp of losing my daughter because the ER did not believe what happened to her. She was six months old. Thankfully, I convinced them or something. They still looked at me with suspicion the whole time. My idiot husband caused the injury. They could have removed him from us. Yes, I do believe it was an accident because his judgment proved him to be very stupid.<br /><br />I had not heard of this case.
