*************************************************************************
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.
