When our first child was three days old, I received a scary phone call.
As young parents, we were overjoyed with our new baby and had everything ready for her. We had a home business, so my husband was always around to give me support. My mother was a phone call away, our next door neighbor was a doula, we had many books on infant care, and I attended a breastfeeding support group at our local hospital. In short, we were as prepared as we could be for a newborn.
But that didnt mean we met with everyones approval. At the time we were a penniless, uninsured young couple struggling to start a home business. We paid cash for our medical expenses. Our house was old (1875), our clothing and furnishings were second-hand, and our fiercely self-sufficient attitude raised a few eyebrows. But we were living the life we wanted independent, rural and frugal.
But there are those who find this kind of lifestyle and attitude suspicious. Independent, self-employed and rural what kind of nefarious secrets must we be hiding?

Freedom from dependency is being redefined as subversive. It you don’t want the government taking care of you, you are automatically suspicious and treated as more of the enemy than the Islamic fanatics so beloved by Obama.
Pryor to the 1920s there was no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no refrigeration of any kind.
Were I to raise my children on that farm I would lose them all to CPS, and the house condemned.
Freedom was lost along time ago.

It was 1964 before we ever had a telephone in our home. I never had AC in a home until 1997, even the years we lived in FL.
Clinton/Reno killed Randy Weaver’s wife, son, and dog because they wanted to be left alone on Ruby Ridge.
Ruby Ridge anyone? How about Waco assault?
[ Ruby Ridge anyone? How about Waco assault? ]
Ruby Ridge was basically the government entrapping a person so they could be justified in in shooting them and their family in cold blood.
Waco, was about a wacko that they could have dealt with in a much more civilized manner but they went in guns a blazing because Janet Reno wanted to display her ... ahem... “manhood”...

I thought Ruby Ridge happened during mr. no new taxes 1000 points of light regime?

Unless you start your own town and call it “islamaberg”..... then apparently they leave you alone...
there are SO MANY government employees, they are out LOOKING for things to ‘monitor’
And if they find a family they can latch onto and ‘help’ then you become a set of paperwork in their office that needs to be processed, and followed-up, and processed some more, so they have their paper trail of actually doing something.
Do what ever you have to, or want to do, but STAY OFF the gubmint radar.
This smells more like a social worker from the hospital rather than CPS.
Shortly after my father got back from the hospital for open heart surgery, I got repeated phone calls from social workers asking leading questions. They seemed so desperate to take over the lives of my parents. And yes, the social worker will make stuff up. It is about control, power.
You are right. I was thinking of Waco, another leave me alone situation. Reno defended the FBI as the investigation was during Clinton’s term and the rules of engagement were revised after the action to justify the Federal response.
Janet Reno concocted the justification to kill Vicki Weaver saying that “Experts” said that Mrs. Weaver was holding the family together and taking her out would cause the rest to surrender.
Tim McVeigh blew up the Fed building in Oklahoma in response to Reno’s actions about Ruby Ridge and at Waco because some of the FBI who were at the sieges worked there.
