Oregon Tyranny Playing Out In Montana

Torn Apart by Oregon Services to Children and Families
See  KGW-TV Portland, Oregon  news coverage
On July 31, 2000 the Oregon Services to Children and Families seized the three daughters of Brian and Ruth Christine, a college-educated couple traveling across America with their girls, after an anonymous caller said that one of the girls "looked dehydrated".  Days later, Ruth Christine gave birth to another child, and secretly transported the baby to Brian's mother in Indiana. A few days later, police armed with sub-machine guns raided the Christine's motor home at dawn to seize the newborn. Finding no baby, an infuriated SCF ordered the couple to produce the child, which they refused. Oregon SCF has battled in the Indiana courts for over a year seeking custody of this baby, but the Indiana judge refuses to uproot the little girl. In retaliation, Oregon SFC wouldn't allow the Christines visitation with their other daughters and stalled custody hearings.

The Christines risked their well-being and their family so that they could be reunited, and so that millions of children of today and our future may be protected from the tyranny that our government has become. Now they desperately need your help and support as they defend the Constitution and the sanctity of Family for everyone in America.
 

July, 2001 An SCF spokesperson, speaking to a newspaper reporter doing a feature on child abuse, announced that the state was moving to terminate the Christine's parental rights. They had been allowed two visits with their daughters in the twelve months they were in state care. On August 1, 2001, a year and a day after the girls were first taken from their homes, Brian and Ruth were allowed a third visitation. When the visit was over, Brian Christine followed the SCF van and took the children back at gunpoint when the SCF worker stopped at a rest stop. He and his family fled to Montana, where they were captured a few days later.

Ruth Christine is now sitting in a Missoula, Montana jail cell, expecting the birth of her fifth child sometime this week. Brian's mother in Indiana has offered to take custody of this child, too, but the state of Montana is siding with Oregon. A Montana social worker visited Ruth last week and told her that she would not be allowed any birthing support during her labor and delivery, and that there would be an Oregonian social worker on hand to immediately remove the child. She will not be allowed to hold it or breastfeed it. Outrageous cruelty, no childbirth support, only the person whose come to snatch her baby on hand to witness her suffering. Bring attention to this issue and help avert this tragedy.

Is the Oregon SCF so rich in resources that it can afford to fly around the country seizing children that were never abused? Seizing children that have never taken a breath in the state of Oregon? Aren't there any children in Oregon being abused who need these resources?

I have been following this story: it is an outrage. The state thinks our children are property of the state. They tell us how we must raise their capitol (children are just future working capitol). They force their indoctrination on children and those who refuse are subject to the abuses of social services.

I believe this issue is probably the one that will wake up America, if it is not too late. God help us and the Christines. My prayers are with you.

I agree, and with the rest of what you wrote as well. I hope it's not to late for what's left of this country. I fear that it is.

If people would stop using that SS# and don't get one for their kids, the kids might not be considered State property

Nothing like tagging your kids as a inventory item of the government XXX-XX-XXXX.

On another note, is this not worthy of CNN coverage? Where is it?

Hard truth #17. The liberal seeks to dominate any institution which can weaken or destroy individual parental rights - public schools, child abuse agencies, pediatric associations, etc..

Hard truth #31. Liberals despise all innocence - especially the innocence of a child.

Hard truth #32. Liberals seek the sexualization of children and the normalization of pedophilia, all in the pursuit of genital freedom.

Hard truth #41. Liberals are perfectly willing to destroy you financially, remove your children, and imprison you for what you believe.

Hard truth #51. Whenever a liberal expresses concern "for the children", they are using and targeting children to expand promiscuity, collectivism, and their own pocketbooks and egos.

Hard truth #60. Liberals believe that passing religious values to children is a form of child abuse.

Hard truth #83. In Hillary's Village, parents are the child-rearing problem, not the solution.

Hard truth #92. Liberals create child abuse witchhunts, and often send innocent parents to prison in child abuse cases, to justify their destruction of parental rights.

Hard truth #123. Liberals believe that children derive no real benefit from married parents.

Hard truth #124. Liberals believe that children must have sex as soon as they are physically able - because they are physically able.

Hard truth #140. So-called "child protective" agencies collect Federal bounties for every child they remove and adopt out. Their primary agenda is the projection of power and left-wing politics.

140 Hard Truths About Liberals

Our gov.org is vile,disguisting,evil,immoral and tyrannical. I get more pissed every day.

I felt Elian should be reunited with his father because of this reason.We dont know for sure but Elian's father might really believe his son will grow up to a better man there then he will in our sorry ass country.

The way our gov.org seized Elian is what ticked me off,but that is typical of the jackbooted thugs that pass for men in this once great country.

We need some good old fashioned rebellion. Hopefully some day soon one state will elect a leader that has a set and he will stand up to the dam revenuers.

Did you follow the story that when the Christine children were originally picked up by SCF that they all weighed under 20 pounds? In case anyone wants to know, that is less than my two year old weighs, and he is a little on the skinny side.

The Christine kids had to spend five days in the hospital. That is more than a little "dehydrated". If you have followed the story a little more closely like we do in Oregon, it is pretty obvious that this guy's got a screw loose to endanger his family like he has done.

That's not even true, not even remotely. Those kids were held hostage in the hospital, and in spite of 4 days of hospitalization, the state was not able to produce one piece of evidence to support their claim that the kids were malnourished. They were eating lunch when they were seized. The only "evidence" offered by the SCF were some naked pictures of the girls that the judge threw out and called "pornographic". Not one shred of medical evidence.

More people to lobby

Here's the e-mail address of the hospital where Ruth Christine is expected to deliver

contactus@communitymed.org

Write to them and tell them to treat Ruth Christine with dignity and respect.

Here's a link where you can get contact information for the Montana State Legislature.  Faxes and phone calls work the best, but at least send some e-mails

http://leg.state.mt.us/online_publications/laws/57th/legname.htm

Somebody on this list has the power to stop this.

What about Bethany Christine's three-inch skull fracture, the one that she said that Brian Christine gave her when he hit her in the head?

3 inch skull fracture, pardon? Never heard this one, and fact of the matter is, they held those children for 5 days and destroyed this family so that they could cover thier mistakes and misdeeds.

And when the CS questions a child, what do think that they say. Come on, tell us, tell us everything, we need to know, well, I fell off my swingset and got this concussion, where was you father? He was pushing me on the swing. So you father pushed you and you got a skull fracture? OK, press charges!!!
