Legally Kidnapped: Cost/Benefit Analysis & Solutions

[I'm afraid my time here is drawing to a close so I want to spend some of it sharing my own thoughts about issues that concern me rather than just purveying information I've gathered]

When my mother died I was thrust into "The System" at age 5 without any attempt being made to locate family members who would have taken me... to show how long this corrupt system has been in place- this was 1950. It's gotten progressively worse ever since. With the advent of Child Protective Services in 1973 and ensuing legislation- particularly the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 under Bill Clinton- a legalized business incentive to snatch kids was born... all based on the myth of an epidemic of child abuse and "bad parenting," an epidemic that never existed. But that was no problem for the do-gooders who stood to profit handsomely, a mere bump in the proverbial road.

Currently for every child taken from a loving home, 25 professionals become involved in that child's life- not counting a plethora of NGO's that rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions. One such NGO, the Children's Defense Fund, that I've written about several times, was responsible in large part for the media blitz that shaped public opinion making the epidemic appear real. It is also indicative of the revolving door between the NGO's and their influence on government. The CDF chair prior to the 1992 election was Hillary Rodham Clinton, who stepped down when her husband won the presidency. She was replaced by Donna Shalala who then became Secretary of Health & Human Services, the federal agency that oversees CPS... all just one big happy family.

One would naturally think with all of the money being spent on all of the dedicated professionals overseeing the children, America would be turning out citizens the envy of the entire world. However, as history is showing, the results have been an abysmal failure- both in terms money spent and the damage to families and society itself... to the tune of over $1.5 trillion a year. Let's take a look at what really takes place (I have to generalize here, but statistics support my conclusions).

It's the poor who bear the brunt of CPS and government abuse- people without the resources to defend themselves legally. It's become so bad that being poor is almost a crime. A child is taken away from their loving parent (s) and put in foster care. Generally they are given psychotropic drugs to counter the effects of having been snatched away from their home. This is happening to younger and younger children- some as young as one year old. While in foster care children are 60% more likely to be sexually abused and 70% more likely to be trafficked for sex and be incarcerated either in late childhood or as an adult. A child is 67 times more likely to die unexpectedly in foster care than with their own families. This is not a good track record... but it gets worse.

The cost to society goes on throughout the child's life, in terms of drug use (which is rampant among children of foster care), incarceration, early out of wedlock  pregnancy... these children for the most part fall through the cracks and wind up on the fringes of society- on the outside looking in- believe me I know, I'm one. Any sort of rational system, one that would actually benefit children, families and by extension society as a whole has been turned on its head... all for short term financial benefits of a few. The future of American society as a whole has been mortgaged for profit... all based on a myth, the result of which has been catastrophic for families and children.

Solution

After WWII Europe was devastated... the people were destitute. What saved them was that the families, what was left of them, were strong. The orphanages in the beginning were filled to overflowing- but they didn't stay that way for long. The churches, and charitable organizations  invested in families- even poor single parent families instead of trying to destroy them for profit. I read a story about a young woman in Scandinavia who had a baby... she was also on drugs. They didn't try to take her baby away, they helped. 3-4 times a week people from the town came by to see if she needed anything. They brought diapers, formula and food. What they did was employ a Christian model- if your neighbor falls, help him/her up... don't call CPS, they won't help.

Solutions are only solutions when they work. It's easy to say "it's not my problem." It may not be your problem today, but it may be tomorrow when that kid you ignored because he wasn't your problem sticks a gun in your face to get his next fix. We are all each other's problem- unless we encourage the children not to be problems... this is the crux of Christianity and why families are the foundation of society. We are all responsible for one another. Government, CPS, foster care are the problem- they've proven it over and over again- not the solution. The only thing social services has accomplished is to keep the child trafficking pipeline full of victims for the elites to abuse. Like the old saying goes: "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." It's time to stand up and say NO MORE!!!
