NEWARK, N.J. -- An infant died Thursday after being stricken at a downtown office of the state child welfare agency, police said.

The month-old boy, who has been in foster care since birth, had just arrived about noon at an office of the state Division of Youth and Family Services from a doctor's visit. He had received immunizations for hepatitis B and polio at the doctor's, said DYFS spokesman Andy Williams.

"It appears the baby had a reaction to an immunization," Williams said.

An autopsy is to be done to determine the cause of death, police said.

DCFS, DYFS, DSS, whatever you call them are all a bunch of sick psycho females who may or may not have been mistreated by their fathers. They are not there for kids, but to screw other fathers.

If the child died from an immunization reaction, that would hardly be the fault of the nurse who gave the injection...no matter your opinion (however true) of the individuals that run the joint.

Exactly. If the baby died from a reaction to the vaccine, he would have died no matter where it was administered.

This is true. It is sad first of all to have a baby die, and secondly that the baby was in State custody. It could be a better situation than with the mom or dad, but the article gives little meat.

>>>They are not there for kids, but to screw other fathers.

Off topic from this article.

But I had to go to a 'Protecting God's Children' workshop last night since I volunteer at my children's school.

One of the criteria that just jumped out at me that molesters use in targetting is they look for children that don't have fathers in the home.

Just makes me go 'hmmm' when today's society seems to be in to 'fatherless' homes.

That would make sense. I can't directly blame the DCFS personnel for that, but they seem to strongly push the
agenda.


I take it this was a private school?

Did you guys get any ID cards?

We didn't get any. I thought this was strange. When I took the kids to games and competitions last year, I was asked by the hosting school if I was trained in order to be aloud into the locker room areas. They just relied on a yes or no from me. What if I was a criminal? I would certainly lie and say yes.

These programs should at least offer some type of proof of program card to be presented.
