Hello Again, 
 VF> Our case is becoming known, although I'm certain it will never be
 VF>as famous as yours unless I get so desperate that I do something I
 VF>will regret later on. Luckily I'm a fairly easy going, forgiving
 VF>type person, so I don't think I'll do anything I shouldn't. 
 BS> I'm *sure* you won't.  Just remaining the kind of person you are
 BS> will do more for you than any wrong action.  We knew a fellow, oh,
 BS> gosh, eight years ago who did go off and tore up a CPS office.  He
 BS> got the satisfaction of the destruction, but it cost him everything.
 
I can imagine.  I know how someone can be driven to do something so 
extreme, even if it is totally out of character for them.  I have felt
that way myself.  I surprised myself though, when we went to pick up
our daughter from the foster home Friday night, I didn't even tell off
the foster mother, even though she had done her best to alienate my 
daughter from us and had made numerous false reports to CPS against us
in an effort to keep our daughter from coming home (the foster mother
wanted to adopt our daughter).  In fact, I kind of felt sorry for her
because I knew she was counting on adopting our daughter and really 
thought it would happen.  Then she got a phone call and three hours
later our daughter was taken from her.  My sympathy for her won't keep
me from filing a lawsuit against her for parental alienation though!
 
 VF>The petition sounds like a good idea though and I'd like to get
 VF>something like that going that here.
 BS> I believe George Hero may have information on that, if it's not
 BS> already posted here.  I saw something on the WITCHHNT list about the
 BS> petition; if I remember right the council wants the citizens to foot
 BS> the bill for the grand jury investigation.  Makes me wonder how high
 BS> the corruption runs.
 
Well, considering the fact that CPS got ahold of a letter I sent to the
White House, I would suspect that the level of corruption probably goes
all the way to the top!  I could be wrong, but at the moment that is
my perception.
 
 BS> Thanks, Val!  It's an encouragement to me too to see people standing
 BS> up and taking on the system.  Enough of us do it, it will come down.
 
You've got that right.  Even though our case may be drawing to a close
soon, I will not stop fighting.  I must continue to try to change a system
that doesn't work.  I owe it to my children, my future grandchildren, and
all those who follow after them.  Only we can provide the future for our
children, and I want to make it a bright one!
 VF>P.S.  I'll be okay.  I'm one tough lady and I'm not beaten yet!
 BS> "Yet"?  I say "ever".  I might eventually lose, but I'll not be
 BS> beaten! Beaten is what happens when you give up and drop out of the
 BS> fight, when you surrender; lose is when there is nothing more to be
 BS> done but you fought the entire way.  The quitter will never know if he
 BS> could have won if he'd just tried one more time, the fighter can rest
 BS> knowing the full score.  Better to have fought and lost than to never
 BS> have fought at all. 
 
You've got that right!  When I said "yet" I meant, "Not in this 
life time!!!!"  The system might beat down, even make me cower a time
or two, but it can never beat me completely unless I let it, and you can
rest assured that I won't!
 
 BS> Val, I doubt you'll ever be beaten.  You're one tough lady, Val, and
 BS> that's what it takes to win, too.  God bless you and keep you!
Thank you my friend!  Best of luck to you and I'll talk to you again soon.
Val
