On The Road Again...This Time To Deliver A National Speech On CPS

If you are reading this after 8 AM I am on a plane headed to St. Louis and the national Eagle Forum yearly conference. I have been asked to deliver a speech and participate in a Q & A with former Senator Nancy Schafer who has pioneered efforts to control government takings of children.

I hear it is raining so I will take and umbrella!

I think King 5 hit a dud case this time. Hope it does not discourage King 5 from doing further stories in the future.
Actually King 5's new Langly story could do more damage than good as far as open courts!
Mostly because biological parents feel so defeated from the get go.
In the Poca case the parents have done everything and then some. Should they just give their child away? Because some foster parent decides they love a child and it is a good match for their family?
What is the law defining a family and what is the law defining a foster family. T laws are VERY clear!

I am happy to report that, Poca will be with her her forever birth family forever.

Imagine for one moment,that this is your child,taken while an investigation is being made against you, and even if findings are "unsubstantiated"; this is your child waiting to come back home.
All that is necessary for our Social Workers to succeed is that "GOOD HONEST PEOPLE" do absolutely nothing to hold them accountable for their actions.
It may well be that our means are unfairly limited and our possibilities restricted when it comes to applying pressure on our Social Workers; BUT IS THIS A REASON TO DO NOTHING?
"First they came for my neighbors children. I was silent. It was not my children that they were there for.
Then they came for my friend children,again I was silent for it was not my children that they were here for!
Then they came for my children... NO ONE WAS LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME!
The race we are in towards protecting neglect,wrong doing and abuse by the Social Workers that are supposed to be there TO PROTECT, is a race against time for many of us now and many more if we do not fix the system that is currently in place.
WASHING ONES HANDS OF THE WRONGS COMMITTED BY SOCIAL WORKERS MEANS TO SIDE WITH THAT SOCIAL SERVICE and not to be neutral.
If we do not WAKE UP and take a stand against this horrible system that has been put into place for no other reason than to tear families apart, so that the Government can take total control over our lives, then you too are DOOMED to be a victim of this same injustice.
If you can't stand up today to protect families that have been torn apart, and the children who have suffered and died, then you are not protecting yourself , and you are JUST AS GUILTY as those doing it.

To the person who commented above. Are you crazy? Poca was with them for almost 4 years. That IS NOT O.K. to rip a child from a home she`s been in for that long. It`s not the fotsr parents fault and it certainly isn`t Pocas.
Maybe you should read Susannah`s report over again. The State waited 4 times past what is the legal time frame for Poca to have the right to a permanent home. It is understandable that sometimes it may take parents a while to get their act together but those parents couldn`t have cared that much to wait the amount of time they have. As far as I`m concerned, the Langleys are the only ones who have cared what that child needs. They have shown how much they love Poca. If I remember right, Poca was born with special needs. Wasn`t that from being drug affected? And, didn`t the bio parents have a baby die because of being drug affected? WOW!! That`s a wonderful home for any child to be in. I`ll ask again, ARE YOU CRAZY?
Thank you Susannah Frame for the work you`re doing. We all need for the truth to keep coming out. CPS will one day have a true awakening if Secretary Dreyfus actually does the things she is saying she`ll do. The people who are putting the true abuse on the children need to be stopped.

I regards to the Poca case, CPS is hiding serious issues of abuse and neglect, just as they did with Shayne Abegg. The de Haan investigation was a big farce. Dr. de Haan's wife works for DSHS. They learn nothing from the deaths of children.

The percentage of something happeneing to Poca is very high if returned to the bio parents. I guess the deaths of Sirita Sotelo and Shayne Abegg mean nothing. They were just children forgotten in the system. Weren`t both of those cases within Snohomish County? Does Poca`s well being mean nothing as long as the dept. can get even with the Langleys? Ultimately, if something happens to poca, the Judge should be held accountable. She is the reason many children have been ripped away from the loving, safe, stable homes and the people they were bonded with.

No matter how long DSHS kept this case going. This child has parents that love her.
Would it be any different if the bio parents had been repeatedly deployed . Should they just say "Oh well you can just keep our baby?" I dont think so!
There is a lot more to the story than what has been in the news.

Shame on anyone believing anything CPS says about anyone.
They are not credible they are not about the protection or welfare of any child or family rather they are about the welfare of themselves.

I would like to know how you determined that there would be a high percentage of something happening to "Poca" if returned to her family would this be good or bad; if bad what are you basing this assumption on?
The unsubstantiated statements of King 5, or the spurious allegations of CPS and their fiction filled "Social File" !
Do you have first hand knowledge, credible evidence or do you just feel self-entitled to meddle in others lives like our government?
