Important article for anyone with children:

CPS Investigated a Reader - Because he feeds his children Organic Food - Drinks Non- Fluorinated Water and has a Bug Out Bag! Police were standing by!

A reader of the blog sent me this account of his experience with CPS!

When I read this, I have to wonder..... do the CPS people have the "common sense" to think this is not an allegation that even comes close to be child abuse?!  Can they not think for themselves that, the claims against a person is ridiculous?


The reasons why CPS checked out this person is beyond outrageous - there is no abuse in the questions at all - in fact it was all about non-abuse!

Here is the Readers story, as he wrote it to me.
Near the end of september 2010,  I had a very frightening experience with the childrens protective service.  It all started with a knock on my door, from a women I'd never seen.

So of course I asked her who she was before I opened the door, she said she was from c.p.s.  I opened the door and she was on her cellular phone.

The next block over I could see a police car doing a left hand turn, as if she were in communication with the officer.  At the time I was already concerned as why she was here at my residence.

First off, I asked her why she was here? She there were allegations of abuse against myself.  I was quite shocked,  being that I never go anywhere, I have no friends,etc...  Literally I have no physical friends where I reside.  I'm a single father of two girls that I homeschool.  I never go anywhere and my curiousity was spiked immediately.  She asked if she could come in, I said certainly come on in.

The lady appeared to be nervous, which now that i think about it is quite odd.  Anyway the questions she asked me were very odd in it self.

She said that there were allegations that I wouldn't give my children tap water.  I responded with pure truth and she was shocked with my response.  I said this"the municipal water supply is fluoridated ,and has traces of s.s.r.i. drugs in it.

First off she hadnt a clue of what an s.s.r.i. was and responded with isnt fluoride good for your childs teeth, I responded with pure facts again, and gave this woman a history lesson in regards to fluoride being used in the nαzι death camps,to make the Jєωs more complacent and docile.

She asked where I learned of this, I told her I read all day being that there isnt much work afforded this area.  I've nothing else to do other than to study, and educate my children.

I was still quite frightened by this woman in my house, I mean really think about it.  This woman has the authority to take the only things worth living for away from me.  My girls.  So the allegations continued.

The next one was hilarious, she said I refused to allow my children to receive their vaccination shots and I laughed sorta like you did in your investigation..  I said yes thats true, I refuse to allow my children to be poked with syringes filled with squalene, thimerasol, mercury,etc. I promptly produced my states exemption form. That was the end of that allegation.

It gets better. The next allegation was that I chose to feed my children predominately organic foods.  I said yes this is true.. She asked why.  I gave her a brief history lesson on g.m.o.,high fructose corn syrup and the links to esculation of diabetes in America.

By now it appeared to me this woman was feeling a little more secure in my place of residence.

But the next question blew me outta the water. She said that there was an allegation of me having a bug bag..I almost crapped my pants.. I couldnt believe it.  I knew immediately this allegation was from someone I knew personally.  Not someone online.  Because I've never made a bug out bag video.. and anyway I told the worker that yes, I have a 72 hour bug out bag,  She asked why?  By then I had the lady cozy and quite interested in the things I had been saying.  I simply responded with this answer." dont you think its good to have a 72 hour bag,we reside in a city with over 1600 known gangs,in the event of civil unrest dont you think it would be a good idea to evacuate? do you remember hurricane Katrina? or Haiti?  "

That sealed the deal I believe in her mind, this was a black woman and both Katrina and Haiti devastated the black communities in New Orleans and Haiti.  I believe it was clear in her mind that what I was doing wasn't criminal.

She asked my gals if I hit them, They said "oh yeah my daddy will whoop my backside if I say a nasty word" The woman asked me if this was true" I said yes ,and it is completely legal to spank your child in this state, in fact there are school districts here in my state that allow in in public schools.  She responded that she had heard of that on the news." I immediately responded with more facts.  That those schools had the lowest incidences of violent acts by the youth and the graduation rate was higher and there were less suspensions in those schools".

I think that closed it again. She asked to look in the refrigerator and I said sure and to look at the kids room, I consented.  There were no questions of militia, secretive groups.  Just questions about the things I hold dear.

  My warning to other parents is this, If your gonna be a parent now a days you better be prepared with facts, data to back it and the guts to say the truth,and defend your right to parent in a safe manner, yes but in a manner that is appropriate to you ,the parent.  The case was closed one month later and truely these people are terrorist.  That is the way I feel, they can legally just come into your house investigate ,false allegations and if they aren't open minded to the truth just snatch your loves away..

UPDATE 12/5/10 - Another CPS story from a blogger, on their blog.

    A social worker cannot legally come into your house without a warrant, unless there is an emergency - like your stabbing your kids on the front porch, etc. All homeschoolers should join HSDLA, which has a lot of experience in this area of social worker contact based on anonymous allegations. Please print out the case law found at this link:
    http://www.hslda.org/docs/nche/000010/CPSMemo.pdf

    The Fourth Amendment applies to social workers as well as police. Most social workers are as ignorant about the law as everyone else and assume they can do as their supervisors tell them. As an HSDLA member, you have access to an attorney who will explain the law to the social worker on your front porch. In fact, there is precedent where families have sued and won damages from the violation of their Fourth Amendment rights. 99% of social workers back down after the law has been presented because they don't want to get lawyers involved.
    In the event a social worker came to my door, I would kindly ask them to return with a warrant and I have a duty to stand up for the fourth amendment. Allow the worker to see your children, who are hopefully clean and healthy and not in any harm. Now he/she has should have no suspicion of them being in "immediate" danger. This is how HSDLA advises its member families should the social worker ever come to visit. We need to be educated about this, because with Homeland turning everyone into Mrs. Kravitzes, the busybodies will be out in force thinking that it's their time to shine.

    My mom is a social worker, and I know that they are required to investigate every complaint that is made, no matter how trivial. They HAVE to ask the questions that are addressed in the complaint.

    My mom has worked in social work her whole life, and I am pretty sure most of the kids she has to place in care are children of drug addicts or abusers, and their lives and well-being are in danger (others are surrendered for who knows what reason). She's gone to homes where the mom dipped the baby's feet in boiling water, where the children have been pimped out in exchange for drugs, where kids are locked in closets and starved...and sometimes these homes are in decent neighborhoods where the families seem nice and normal. My mother is not ignorant of the law, and she has common sense. So do many of her co-workers, though she wonders about some of them (but isn't that true in any profession?).

    Sadly her agency is needed because of people who have no business with kids keep having kids and keep abusing them.

    The woman who visited you was doing her job. If she hadn't been thorough in her questions, and you had turned out to be a kidnapper who was holding child sex slaves in your custody, and she DIDN'T ask, well...how would that scenario go? The majority of social workers aren't out to get normal parents...maybe some of them are, and maybe in some parts of the country, the agencies have workers with more of an agenda, but in my mom's state, they are just trying to get kids out of abusive situations, and they are often scrambling to get enough beds to put kids they do save. (And who often end up going home in the end anyway.)

    No one's attacking your mom, but interviewing a child without the parent's knowledge is against federal law. No one is acting like there isn't such a thing as child abuse, has been for thousands of years. What we're doing is pointing out that breaking up families is a classic tool of totalitarian manipulation. How do we go from questions about organic food and tap water to talking about child sex slaves? Paging ACORN. The whole point of this post is that the questions were bizarre and were meant to inquire after the parent's political beliefs, not abuse as you're describing it, Anonymous.

    It's also a fact that state receive $$$ for kids they get into foster care. Texas receives something like $80,000 per child. I know of a loving family who had their child taken away because he has mitochondrial disease and the social workers were accusing the parents of making up a genetic disease. The sad thing is, they had moved to Texas to be near a research hospital working with mito kids, and this same kid was featured by the hospital as an example of a mito patient! It takes special training which CPS does not have to take care of mito kids.

    Please check out my above link in the previous post to see what the federal courts have said the limitations of social worker in private homes are. Again, without a warrant or immediate danger to the child, a social worker cannot enter your home without your consent. (Immediate danger has been narrowly interpreted by our higher courts, so it cannot be used as a blanket reason.)
