No heads will roll. Health care workers have immunity for these reports, and can only be prosecuted if they DON’T make a report. the CPS can never be punished for anything. They are like the gestapo.
But “it’s for the children”, so too many people think we have to take away the rights of kids for their own good.
Some people mistakenly treat this as just a “parental rights” thing. But this child could well be traumatized by being kidnapped from his parents. He’ll be put in some home, watched by people who specifically volunteer (or they get paid) to watch these kids, who are already assumed to be abused. It seems like a perfect place for people who want to abuse kids — you get kids delivered to you for short periods of time, and since they are already assume to be abused, any reports they make will be used against their parents.
These parents will probably agree to a lifetime of anal probes by the CPS in exchange for being allowed to keep their child.
So sad but true! Most I've seen do it just to collect a check instead of working a real job.
“No heads will roll. Health care workers have immunity for these reports, and can only be prosecuted if they DON’T make a report. the CPS can never be punished for anything. They are like the gestapo.”
We’ll see about that
1. First remedy: go public, and I mean major.
2. Second, law/Revised Code, that REQUIRES every CPS to under go the exact type of random inspections (full case, full extended case, examinations, ANNUALLY UNNANOUNCED AT RANDOM,...interviews, law enforcement) at their own on their own premises. Under video, public video on the internet and elsewhere.
3. If #2 not enacted, then annonymous “tips” the same type they receive, on their own premises. UNNANOUNCED
4. Video of every one of these actions. Revised Code action as above.
5. Mandatory IMMEDIATE disclosure to an officer of the court/ free of charge of all records, documents, and memos, etc., of all parties involved.
And that’s just for starters.
No one has immunity for filing what they know to be a fraudulent report. CPS should have spoken with these parents first to get the full story, and should not have acted just on the basis of the initial report. CPS workers, supervisors, managers are sued all the time, and may not get assistance for their defense from the State Attorney General if there was clear negligence.
I think prior to CPS, when Law Enforcement made these removal decisions, that these tragedies of needless removals occurred less often.
We had a case a few years ago in Pennsylvania where an Amish couple lost a daughter to a rare hereditary blood disorder. The blood disorder caused bruising on the young girl before she died.
Child Protective Services removed all seven of their children from the home and it took a lot of work to get the courts to return their children. You are assumed guilty until you can prove yourself innocent!
