The story you are about to read is true. No names are mentioned in order
to protect one who has a court imposed gag order, effective June 7, 1995.

*************************************************************************
Many of you have been following the case of a man and a women in a far
western state who have seven children. The youngest child was illegally
taken from them by an agency called Children's Protective Services, aka
CPS. A few months after the daughter was taken, the parents discovered
that CPS had violated AT LEAST 40 state policies and procedures, state
laws, and federal laws. This does not include the fact that CPS and the
Judicial system have also violated their Constitutional Rights: namely,
the 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th and 14th Amendments in the Bill of Rights. The
parents sought help from the attorney that was appointed to the father,
but no help in resolving these issues was forthcoming for some reason or
another. When the parents would ask why their parental rights were being
violated, CPS would say that they were doing no such thing, and continue
along the same course of actions that they had been taking regardless.
The parents and the family worked hard to do everything that CPS told
them to do, but to no avail. CPS decided to keep their daughter for an
additional six months anyway. This decision was made after the mother
had gone before the County Board of Supervisor's to complain about the
mistakes that were being made in their case and stated that she was
greatly afraid that CPS would retaliate against her for speaking to them
publically. An article appeared in the paper concerning this issue and
the mother's name was mentioned. The mother had also supplied the
reporter with a copy of the court order (which was written by CPS) and
information from the court order was printed in the paper. This caused
CPS to retaliate and to claim that the mother was placing her children
in jeopardy, that her comments were inappropriate and lacked judgement;
this being at least a partial basis for not returning the child to her
rightful home.
On June 6th, the mother, along with 5 other parents representing various
organizations, went to the Board of Supervisor's again and complained
about the retaliation that was taken against the mother. The Board of
Supervisor's said that it probably wasn't retaliation but a merely a
desire to conceal the identity of the minor in the foster home that was
of concern to CPS. The parents all stated otherwise. By the end of the
meeting, it was pretty much decided by the Board of Supervisor's that if
CPS had retaliated they were sorry, but they really weren't sure that it
was retaliation. The mother was quoted in the paper as saying "I knew
that CPS would not let me get off this easy." The article (the second
one involving this family) was printed on June 7th. That was also the
day that the parents were to go to court to set a trial date to contest
the wishes of CPS.
By the time the parents left the court room, the court had imposed a gag
order against the mother, and she is no longer allowed to even discuss
this case with her friends. Apparently she was getting too VOCAL and CPS
has a lot to hide. This was based solely on their knowledge of the FIRST
newspaper article, as they were not aware that a second article had
appeared in the paper that very morning. The gag order was supposedly
made to protect the minor from publicity (according to the court), but to
most people it appears that CPS is trying to hide behind a cloak of
secrecy and they do not wish their activities to be made public.
During the course of the proceedings, a court date was set for June 23rd
at 1:30 pm PST. Also, the mother (actually the stepmother of the minor
in a foster home) was at last declared to be a Defacto Parent and
entitled to have legal representation; however, the court refused to
appoint counsel for the mother and told her that she would have to pay
for her own attorney. The mother has no money for counsel, but she is in
the process of trying to obtain counsel through the Rutherford Institute;
an organization that protects religious freedoms and parental rights.
The religious belief's of the family have also been severely violated by
CPS and the courts, and no amount of objections by the parents have been
able to resolve this matter.
The mother is presently acting as her own attorney and is by law allowed
to have all "discovery" information that any other attorney involved in
the case is entitled to. The mother has requested the discovery (case
notes and narratives, evaluations, reports, and so forth) but CPS is
trying to deny her access to it, telling her that she needs to have her
attorney get them. The mother has explained that she is actine as her
own attorney at this time and that she has a legal right to have this
information, but CPS claims that it is not appropriate.
You tell me, what are they trying to hide? It must be something they
don't want the parents to know.
On top of all this, CPS is trying to claim that the minor would not be
safe in the parents' home and is using that as their excuse to continue
to detain the child in a foster home, yet on Monday of 6/5, the social
worker was directly asked what the parents needed to do in order to
ensure that their daughter would be safe in their home, and the social
worker said "You have all the appropriate safeguards in place and there
is nothing more you need to do." The mother asked if the same would be
true if her daughter were living in the home, and the social worker said
"YES".
So why in the hell are they still keeping her daughter. It must be
retaliation, since it obviously isn't a question of safety.
... Koresh wasn't Christ, but the gov't isn't GOD, either!
