The Battle Against Human Misery

I have associated myself with a very fine group of men and women who formed a group here called Angel Eyes Over Texas under the watchful eye of Mr. Jim Black. This group works tirelessly to improve the operation of the CPS  and demonstrates a single mindedness that is needed if we are ever going to turn this thing around. 

As I have pointed out on many occasions my personal battle with CPS is over. I lost. However, I rest in the knowledge that my five beautiful grandchildren are safe, and they will grow up with family and each other. This is no pat on the back for the CPS. That organization did everything humanly possible to obliterate our family. At the final point Jackie and I hugged each other and realized we were at the Alamo, and someone else would win this war. We gave the CPS their pound of flesh and they ran off, foaming at the mouth. The babies are safe! 

During our fight we learned a lot. I began to write essays and hopefully won a few hearts and minds out there who previously had no idea of the internal operation of the so-call Child Protective Services. I, like most people, believed at one point that if CPS came into your life there had to be a reason.  I discovered the first of many flaws within the system.  Anyone at any time can call a CPS hotline, make any accusation, no matter how  ridiculous, and the CPS will come running like a pack of wild dogs because "It's all about the children!". And when they recite that mantra most normal, decent people will accept it and think that it must be all good, after all, it's all about the children. That is until they correct a child at a grocery store and the CPS shows up at THEIR door, and all the neighbors are saying, "There MUST be something! The CPS doesn't just come out for no reason."

But there is a reason friends. It is called perpetuation of the bureaucracy. All good ideas start with a single purpose. Let's pave all these gravel roads so Grandma can get the grandkids to church easier  Yeah! Great idea, right?  Hey, let's make roads going from state to state that run all the same so folks can drive all over America with ease. Fantastic! Hey, Washington, why don't you chime in with a few bucks and we'll even call em  defense highways so the Army can ship men and materials from post to post. Damn! I feel safer already. Now let regulate the crap out of the truckers so the price of toilette paper goes through the roof and, as an added attraction tell the states how to run their local schools or we will pull back those federal highway funds they've grown to love so much.  Wow! What happened to the original idea of helping grandma get to church?

CPS is like that. What started out as a pretty decent idea, just make sure some farmer doesn't beat his three year old in the face with a knotted plow line grew and grew until some clerk walks into your home and removes your child because the kitchen floor has dog poo on it. In central Texas there was an experiment. Law enforcement took it upon themselves to accompany ever CPS worker on every visit. The experiment failed people. I have spoken with men and women who were involved and they told me that when they went into a home, frankly they didn't know who to arrest. They had to sit idly by and watch outright felonies be committed by state employees or just leave. They finally gave up in disgust and left. I have yet to speak in private to anyone in law enforcement who has anything good to say about the CPS. Fact!

Jim and his group are working hard to turn this around. It won't be easy. The CPS is monster corporation that feeds on human misery. It doesn't make anything, it doesn't heal it divides and conquers. The people who reside within its confides have grown fat on state and federal funding. these people don't want the system to change because they are fat, dumb, and happy and when anyone raises a finger to stop them they will play the chess game with you children as pawns because, like the mantra says...it IS all about the children. YOUR children. Join our fight against the CPS. The child you save may be your own!

Trial Before Family Court

Trial Before A Family Court

The evidence is gathered. It began with an accusation from a vague report that a child was being harmed in some way. There was no physical evidence, only a report of some kind of mental abuse. The twelve year old girl was of a  group of girls. She, and others began to have seizures, crying out, and an anonymous report was made to the government authority that would investigate. 

An investigator was sent to compile the report. The little girl told the investigator that a baby sitter had mentally tortured her. The abuse had led her to become very disturbed. She began to black out, have hallucinations, and could barely hold anything on her stomach. She was sent by the investigators to a doctor, who, after a thorough examination, concluded that, even though there were no outward sings of abuse, the abuse was indeed of the mind, and the doctor had good reason to believe that the baby sitter had indeed performed some type of abuse on the child. 

The parents, of course, had great concern, and fully cooperated with the investigation. After all, it was they who had first noticed the problem with the girl. Upon interview, the little girl named some of her friends, who had also been cared for by the baby sitter, and they, too, had developed various stages of mental issues, which upon seeing the baby sitter, would manifest in hysteria. 

The parents of all these girls were appalled. The baby sitter was.brought up on charges of child abuse of the most base type. In court the girls would describe games that she would play with them, and even during testimony they would become distraught. 

The government investigators reasoned now that if this baby sitter, indeed, all the baby sitters in the employ of the agency, could be doing this form of child abuse, then how could the parents not notice this for so long a period of time. It was decided to question the parents also. The evidence was clear. Most of the parents were simply too wrapped up in their lives to attend to the welfare of their own children, and this very fact led to this massive amount of abuse at the hands of this group of trusted caretakers. 

In closed court, with no jury several of the parents were brought up. While there was no actual physical evidence to support the allegations, the circumstantial evidence was overwhelming, combined with the Doctor's report of the mental state of the children, and the investigator's reasons to believe that something sinister was at hand here. 

After the hearing the initial little girl was removed by the court and placed in the care of the government. The parents' lifestyle was seemed to be just too unorthodox and they should not be trusted with a child, not even their own!  There was no reprieve. There was no defense. The judge's decision was final. It would later be revealed that this judge was a protege of a certain councilman who had an interest in the holdings of  the parents of the first little girl. The judge fully understood that an unfavorable ruling against them would earn him the political gratitude of the councilman, which would quickly translate into votes come next election, and assure the judge of a continued tenure of office. Of course the ruling would lead to the public and financial ruin of the family, forcing them to sell their holdings at a reduced rate with the councilman more than willing to pick up at mere pennies on the dollar. 

Before the investigation was over more baby sitters were brought up on charges, with the children's stories becoming more and more detailed until some of the baby sitters were actually brought up on criminal charges, and more than a few of the children were removed from their homes. 

I know you think I am talking about the CPS.  I apologize for misleading you. I was describing the Salem witchcraft trials. Now, do you understand?  Do you FINALLY understand?
