My response to comments on my video and to the general discussion on CPS Failings
As many of you will have noticed, I posted a video that I made about CPS and some of the serious problems that are happening as a result of this 'service'. If you haven't yet seen it, I have embedded it at the end of this post. This video was heavily promoted on Steemit and even reached the top of the trending page, which is amazing. I was very happy to see so many comments that were both supportive but also questioning my motives or intentions. It was always one of my aims to prompt this healthy and needed discussion because I completely understand that many people will doubt the points I have raised. That is why this has been a great opportunity to be able to explain to everyone why I am doing this, and what the actual problems are. Sure, there are times when children need to removed from abusive parents, and that is one of the great services that CPS provide. Some people commented things like "Do you think it is better to leave abused children with families rather than foster them?" Others commented that this was a 'hit post' to try to make CPS sound worse than they are. To pick up on this and really crystallize my intentions and why I made this video and I am writing this post.
I have no children of my own and have no axe to grind with CPS as a personal vendetta.
When I first discovered @familyprotection on Steemit I had no idea of the real situation, and was quite surprised to see many people hitting out at CPS with so many stories. My initial reaction was that this was probably just a few people who were very unlucky and that they were in a minority. I thought that CPS is probably performing a very needed service to the world, and that these stories are just from very rare and unlucky people. Being someone who prides myself in being grounded in truth and reality I took the time to research and read many many hours of posts and other material. I also took the time to watch a 4 hour deposition, from which I have edited the most crucial points for you to see in my video. As a scientist with a strong background of finding evidence and knowing how numbers and statistics can be warped and misrepresented to push a certain viewpoint or theory, I was very diligent and careful to read and learn from as many sources as possible.
It didn't take long for me to start to understand the truth, and discover that the stories that I was reading were not just from a few people but were from very many legitimate families and other very credible people. The truth of the matter is that what @familyprotection are saying is very true, and not only that but quite understated. The points that have been raised in my video and the endless posts on Steemit are just the tip of the iceberg. This rabbit hole goes further and deeper than many people would even want to know about. Child trafficking is a horrendous business that is happening worldwide, and is just starting to become exposed. Unfortunately the kind of people who engage in stealing and selling children for sexual abuse or even slavery are just the kind of people who would want to foster children, and even work with CPS. There are HUGE cases being exposed right now even in the United Kingdom, and this movement of exposing these atrocities are just starting to come out after many years of cover ups at the highest levels. I do not want to go into this right now, because we are just starting out with the basic problems with CPS. We are just starting out down this rabbit hole, and even that is a lot for many people to be able to take in.
SO my point here is that I am not some kind of whack job crazy person who has no sense of truth. I entered this whole arena with a very open mind, and was even skeptical about the claims I saw. I have come to my decisions after countless of hours of diligent research. Therefore, to those people who flippantly write that this whole @familyprotection movement is just nonsense, without really spending time to look at the truth because they know of one person who didn't have a problem are sorely missing the point and reality of the situation. This post and the movie I have made demonstrate the truth and the problems very clearly. I and many others have taken the time to reveal these problems, and so to those of you who do comment or feel that we are not being honest, I urge you to respect the time that we have all put in to this cause and listen up. THIINGS ARE FAR FROM OK! Just because the CPS do sometimes remove children who need to be protected, and just because sometimes they do get it right, does not mean that it is OK to then ignore the fact that the in the MAJORITY OF CASES TODAY, they are putting families through months of the worst kind of threats and torment with zero evidence. I have listened to court depositions where it is revealed that over 50% of CPS agents totally fabricate and withhold evidence to make sure their case is successful and children are removed. They do this under great pressure because that is their JOB and the whole service ONLY makes money when children are removed. This is happening on a massive scale, and it needs to stop. I really hope this point is clear now!
What Am I asking for?
I am obviously not saying that CPS should be canceled out and children should no longer be protected! What I have said is that there is drastic reform needed with CPS to ensure that the wrong people are no longer victimized because agents need to get their quota of removals and keep their job. It is a very sad reality that money makes the world going around, and there are no exceptions to this reality. Anyone who performs other work where quotas are present will know this truth. We can find it everywhere and it is a symptom of a (Capitalist) system that has lost its way and has no shred of integrity left.
There are many changes needed, and here are just some of them:
1. COURT PROCEEDINGS SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC
CPS Agents know the rules and reasons needed to remove children and simply use these reasons to enforce a removal, even when there is just no evidence to support it. They often do not care about truth, and tear families apart. Court proceedings are done in private, which means there is no oversight on the whole process. This means CPS agents are able to lie and make stories up, which is happening in around 50% of the cases.
2. INCENTIVES NEED TO BE PUT IN PLACE TO REUNIFY & SUPPORT FAMILIES
With funding only available to CPS for removing and fostering children there is no incentive for agents to keep families together. There is also no funding for supporting or helping families to prevent removal happening. The only power CPS have is literally to remove children, and that is it! What if CPS had funds to support families in times of hardship? What if CPS could send help to clean a home, or cook, because a parent could not cope for a short time due to life's challenges. We need to see some incentives built in to the CPS so that they can offer help. This would go a long way to ensuring CPS agents are not hell bent on making a parent look as bad as possible.. which is basically what they do right now.
3. CPS AGENTS NEED TRAINING IN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NON AGGRESSIVE INTERVENTION
CPS agents are all too often very aggressive in their tactics. They know very well how to intimidate and make parents SO angry that they act out and can even become violent. The worst CPS agents do this intentionally to make their case look better, and give more reason to remove a child. They act like thugs with absolutely no compassion, and seemingly no care in the world that they are psychologically damaging these children and parents for the rest of their lives. Yes I know there are some CPS agents that are VERY nice, and like i have said I am not talking about them. A HUGE number of agents act exactly how I have described and that needs to stop.
4. CPS SHOULD NOT BE RUN AS A BUSINESS
The entire structure and funding of the CPS needs addressing. It is currently run as a business, with staff in powerful unions and funding only allocated based on performance and the number of removals. This is abhorrent and needs to change. Employees who are not doing their jobs should not be protected. They should be removed. This will lead to better outcomes for kids and a better work environment for good CPS workers. You hear from the horses mouth in my video how it is VERY hard to remove staff even in the worst cases of misconduct. CPS should receive funding to do their job irrespective of how many children are removed. That should not even figure in the equation! How can we expect the CPS service to act diligently when they are basically forced to cheat and lie to protect their very existence. Human nature is what it is, and we can not and should not ignore it.
5. REGULATION IS NEEDED
Child Protective Services are an agency without regulation. It used to be that in order to remove children from a home there was a protocol that had to be followed, and the removal had to be approved. Now, the approach is to act first and deal with the consequences later. GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT! Children are being removed from homes only to have a judge rule 5 days later, that the children are to be returned, or in some cases not returned. They claim to be working in the best interest of children and families, but removing children without warrant isn't in the best interests of anyone. Someone needs to be making sure that the Child Protective Services Agency is following proper protocol and families are not being disrupted for no reason.
6. BETTER FUNDING FOR COMPETANT STAFF
The job of a CPS agent is VERY hard. They are completely overloaded and have very little training or guidance in their job. Because of this moral is very low amongst CPS workers, and many of the very good ones leave. In the UK experienced workers and managers leave to be replaced by agency staff of variable competence and commitment. It is not unusual then for between 40 and 60% of the children's social work workforce to be interim, short-term workers.
7. HONEST AND OPEN CULTURE IS NEEDED
Culture and leadership are key to driving the improvement agenda. A strong focus on performance should be within the context of building trust and commitment across the workforce. All managers need to be visible and available. They should also be closing any distances between management tiers. An honest and open culture should allow difficulties to be heard, rather than to remain unspoken. There is likely to have been a culture of top managers being uninformed, and not seeing it as their business to know about front-line realities. How else could poor performance have become embedded? The desired destination of the improvement journey is a stable, skilled, committed and confident workforce working with children (and adults), where required practice standards are clear, where there is challenge and monitoring to ensure these standards are met, and where difficulties which emerge are recognized.
I could go on, but these are some of the most crucial points. To those of you who do know CPS agents who are good people, I would urge you to ask them what they think about these suggestions for improvements. I'm sure they will agree that the way CPS is operating is very far from good, even if they themselves are good people. The CPS organization needs massive reform, and urgently, and that is where my focus is aimed at.
I hope this is now clear, and those of you who continue to think that things are OK can please keep watching the news. If you want to know the truth it is now coming to the public eye and is in plain sight for you to see.
Sending HUGE love and compassion to everyone of you who have had the threat of your child being removed by aggressive agents with no care for the truth. Any parent will know that this is probably the worst thing that can ever happen to you or your child, and that is why I support @familyprotection.
this is a fantastic response to all those that questioned why you are doing this. I know you are doing this because community is very important to you and @familyprotection is a great community that you are actively involved in. We should never be silent when innocent families are being torn apart, we all should be using our voices when any injustice occurs. This is what being pro active is all about, not wishing to just stand by and let these things happen. I am really grateful for you making this video and getting this message out there, the fact is families have been destroyed, families on here are being hugely affected and we should not be silent. Well done @eco-alex, it's really great to see someone being so pro active x
KISS! HUGS.. LOVE.. RESPECT>> YOU rock!
just showing them what community is all about xx respect right back at ya xx
wow.nice:D:D:D:D:D
please check out mcfd-legal-kidnapped as well....also public on fb to share....We as a community need to get this out absolutely and if we can help each other by sharing and promoting we will keep our voices strong, this is wrong in so many ways, and yet no one is listening that can do something.
This post and video will be featured on today's Jane's CHAOS Show on mspwaves.com.
If @eco-alex would like to come on the show, please get in touch with me on Discord MSP/PAL @globocop.
Thank u globocop! You are a very great supporter of Familyprotection in every way! Thanks for helping to spread the word!
Great video Alex and some very handy info for folk to digest. I do wish you would have mentioned that if they do fabricate evidence to enter your home(which happens regularly) then parents should record Everything!!
I know 100% that the social services apply so much pressure on their staff that all the honest social workers are weened out. They are bullied by supervisors who have "proved their worth" in the field. This leads to the rest either doing as they're told or face working under scrutiny and fear of loosing their job. Constant evaluations and performance meetings that chip away at a social workers resolve. So many factors in the issue of trafficking, forced adoption, the structure of child welfare, the money that drives it and you have done a great job of addressing this. It does need to be reformed but I fear that those with the power to do it are the ones who do not care and the ones benefiting from the horror. We can ask for this and suggest to do that, but without tackling the root, which goes deeper into government, royalty, mind control and rituals. Not sure how we can expect things to get better while the government stands strong. For now it is up to post like this and videos like the one you've made, to help enlighten folk to what is really going on. I'm like you and had no idea it was this bad until @fp came along and that is how it is for most. They hear stories of "pizzagate" and Satanic abuse and it skips over the issue that feeds it (forced adoption) and desensitizes the masses.
yup! I heard you on the radio last night.. nice one!
i thought about saying to record everything.. but i had once posted about this .. that people should even have security cams recording all the time.. and then i got several people tell me that you are not allowed to do that.. so i got confused about what is even permitted these days.. maybe you can do it if you tell them you are recording. .. but since i wasn't sure i decided to just leave it out.. its also hard giving advice because we are dealing with worldwide stories.. and peoples rights and the way to handle things does differ between countries..
thanks for the suggestion!
That is a very good point Alex. I am 100% that in UK you can record yourself at any time. Lots of people to do this with you would be very advantageous.
Thanks for listening last night and wish I would have said more but didn't want to misinform and it was important for me that Debora told her story as it is a perfect example of what the SS do.
Sorry off topic - Alex, white list me please :)
However as I am here, I'll just say it's all **ucked up, UK legal system now protects paedophiles by law, so what chance do we have in bringing anyone else to book - if we are favouring criminals over victims, then why should anyone speak - the law certainly won't compel them to do so. On the contrary, the law may well turn around and bite you for raising an issue these days. What use is law when its written to serve the paedophile rings, by those who benefit directly from those paedophile rings.
Anyway, sleep deeply, trouble not yourselves - nothing we need to worry about, it's just the nightmares of small children!
u have been whitelisted dear boy!
Nanri :)

Thank you friends have various news and information in this steemit media. I really like your news until repeatedly times I read it never miss a thank you @eco-alex
there are many people who rule out the existence of abuses by social service agencies because they have not lived it or because they simply do not have children, and unfortunately that cluster of people is put aside saying "if it does not happen to me, I do not matter "or in worse cases, they deny it outright
