The subject of child protection is not often in the
media, and when it is, it is usually to print puff
pieces or stories planted by the child protection
industry itself. Here we have carefully selected those
media sources that report seriously on the
subject.

advice might work for some.
January 8, 2008. The Medicated Child, by PBS Frontline. A
generation of American children is now being used as

psychiatry because they achieved the same purpose as lobotomy.
December 14, 2007. YouTube. The story of a Florida family
wrecked by DCF. Also, see the Douglass blog.
CPS, CIPS, DCF, DSS, DCFS, or whatever name they go by in
your area, have taken children away from parents because of
unfounded accusations. Municipalities also "put people in
their place" to protect the drug trade!
Friends of mine have been to scared to take their children
to the hospital because of an injury that occurred. Due to
the corruption of DCF and CPS.
One story of a friend had a four wheeler flip onto his 14
yr old son.
He split his head and was bleeding, wanting to go to sleep.
The Father and mother cried for hrs while doing everything
they could to help the wound, because they were afraid they
would lose their children to DCF.
There are MANY more stories like this all over Florida that
are happening everyday.
Another friend has a 3 year old daughter who was spinning
in an office chair, fell down and put a bump on her head, the
Father and Mother were to scared to take her to the emergency
room because they were afraid of DCF stepping in and taking
their children on unfounded accusations.
Until we have honest employees, or at least an internal
affairs group for DCF, people's children are in danger of
suffering at the hands of lying DCF employees. What will
happen to these children who need medical help and the parents
are to afraid to take their children to the hospital because
of being falsely accused and losing their children.
A missionary friend was to fly in to Florida to preach in
our area. He had been praying for our family with his family.

In the absence of any objective medical
tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD,
doctors rely in part on standardized
assessments and the impressions of teachers
and guardians while the they administer leave
little room for other causes or aggravating
factors, such as diet, or environment. Hence,
diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or
ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic
basis for either disease has yet to be
clinically proven. Psychiatrists may then
prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children
without first making it clear to parents that
these medications can have severe side-effects
including insomnia, loss of appetite,
headaches, psychotic symptoms and even
potentially fatal adverse reactions, such as
cardiac arrhythmia. And yet, despite these
dangers, many school systems actually work
with government agencies to force parents to
drug their children, threatening those who
refuse with the prospect of having their
children taken from the home unless they
cooperate.
Yuri Bezmenov on demoralization. This YouTube
video made in the last decade of the cold war
describes how a generation of Americans
assimilated attitudes during their education
that made it impossible for them to resist the
rise of Soviet power. As long as they were not
personally touched by Communist police, they
refused to recognize the dangers of Communism.
Translated into today's problems, it shows
how a generation educated by statist
universities cannot recognize the reality of
family destruction going on around them, aside
from those few within the elites who have been
personally affected.

transcript.
Louisville Kentucky television station WLKY had to win a court
battle before airing this program dealing candidly with the
realities of the child protection system. There is no video,
but a transcript survives on their website.
This is an audio/video clip in wmv format of a woman speaking to
the camera with a paper bag over her head to protect her
identity. She describes the flight of her family from child
protectors. This clip is authentic because it came from Leonard
Henderson of the American Family Rights Association. With a

Thousands of children were separated from their parents in
Quebec and raised under atrocious conditions. When it suits
their purposes, the CBC can tell the story succinctly as in the
excerpt below from their web page on the Duplessis orphans. The
purpose in this case is to place the blame for the tragic era on
the Catholic Church. None of the outrage over past atrocities
has altered today's policies of taking children from their
parents.
During the reign of Quebec Premier Maurice
Duplessis in the 1940s and 1950s, an alarming
number of healthy children living in
sanctuaries were hastily diagnosed as mentally
incompetent, psychotic patients. The
diagnoses were always swift — the
children went to bed orphans and woke up
psychiatric patients. The reason? Shrewd
fiscal planning; federal subsidies paid out
more to hospitals than to orphanages. Some
children allegedly endured lobotomies,
electroshock, straitjackets and abuse. For
the rest of their lives they would struggle to
bring attention to their story and demand
compensation. They called themselves the
Duplessis Orphans.
Movies:
Rabbit-proof Fence
This is the best movie on foster care. In
1931 the Australian government took three
part-aboriginal girls (half-castes in the jargon
of the time) from a family into "care", actually
a dormitory and training school for servant
work. The three escape and the oldest,
14-year-old Holly, leads them home. When the
other inmates realize at roll call that three
have successfully escaped, they give a loud
cheer.
How does a 14-year-old girl get across 1200
miles of desert? She has bush-smarts. She gets
help from an assortment of passers-by, steals
eggs from a chicken farmer, even finds a home
with an aboriginal maid. When she has to go
east, she looks at the desert sun for bearings,
then heads in the right direction. In the end,
two girls make it home, one is recaptured. The
final scenes show the 85-year-old Holly, and
tell of her own children being abducted into the
system a decade later.
The movie faithfully depicts the bigotry of
the authorities who are mystified by the
aborigines refusal to accept their
services.

Juno
Review by Erika Klein:

Babies,Ipods and The Like..
I am sooo glad the movie Juno didn't win any major Oscars
last night. Even though I champion Canadian actors and film
makers, Juno was the 'jagged little pill' I just couldn't
swallow. Though I'm sure the people involved in this film may
very well possess talent - the storyline following a 16 yr old
pregnant girl looking for adopters did not portray reality.
Juno took only one award for best original screenplay.
The only people who seemed to enjoy the film were either
people looking to adopt or people who have had no experience
with adoption personally. The wise cracking teenager made
comments like "You shoulda went to China lady they give away
babies like Ipods". This was only the beginning.
The film seemed to sugar coat over the most painful and
traumatic experiences a first mother goes through. Even when
it is an informed choice, it does not take away the loss.
Relinquishing children for adoption brings with it a life long
loss that never seems to go away. The Hollywood happily ever
after just doesnt wash with me.
Juno makes it seem like surrendering a child for adoption
is a trendy even cool thing to do. While the shame of
pregnancy out of wedlock is slowly being taken away - a new
set of ideals are being presented to us via movies and the
media.
These new ideals are what continue to pervade adoption.
They are just more myths. The myth that a 16 yr old cannot be
helped to raise her own child. The myth that a mother can
choose adopters and have an 'open adoption'. The myth that a
young mother could walk away without any grief or anguish.
The myth that babies are property and can be exchanged to
someone 'better'. The myth that giving your child away does
no damage. The myth that a bond between a mother and child
isn't of any value.
At the very least, Juno did provide an opportunity to
parents to openly discuss sexuality and related issues with
our children. If anything this movie served as a warning.
Tell your daughters adoption does not look like this. Juno
was a far cry from what most first mothers go through. I'm
elated Juno did not take home a major win.
Blogs:
Here are sites on the internet where you can
find news about child protection and family law.
One of the best ways to stay informed about
child protection is to join some of the email
groups dedicated to the subject. They give you
an opportunity to discuss the matter with other
interested persons, and many of them have users
who post regular news, often of the kind that
you can never find in the press. Our listing of
Canadian groups is shorter than it should be.
Readers knowing of others should email us at
< rtmq at fixcas.com >.
For Canadians, we can suggest the
afterfostercare group, created by John Dunn.
It's main emphasis is on survivors of foster
care, but deals with child protection issues as
well.
