Georgia state Sen. Nancy Schaefer assessment of the bureaucrats entrusted to protect children there: “I believe Child Protective Services (CPS) nationwide has become corrupt and that the entire system is broken almost beyond repair. I am convinced parents and families should be warned of the dangers.”
Dr. Steven Krason, professor of political science and legal studies at Franciscan University of Steubenville: “CPS itself now poses “a grave threat” because it is almost impossible to fully insulate one’s family from…a system that on very little pretense can simply reach into the home and take away one’s offspring.”
Dr. Shirley Moore, national director of legislative affairs for the American Family Rights Association (AFRA): “Many Los Angeles judges who rule on family court cases also sit on the boards of phony non-profit organizations created to generate state adoption/foster care grants via federal funding.”
California’s 2003 Little Hoover Commission Report: “Up to 70 percent of children in foster care should never have been removed from their homes.”
A 2006 series in the Belleville News Democrat: “53 children in foster care died between 1998 and 2005 after state child welfare workers committed serious errors and ignored their own rules.”
Free the Children Coalition is planning a national rally in D.C. to expose what they say is “judicial fraud in the Family Court system and the violation of families’ rights by child protective agencies nationwide.”
