It is our duty as freedom loving people to rise up and slap down the government when it gets out of line. If the people don't stand up and assert their liberties, they don't deserve them.

When the Government violates the Constitution, it is the duty of the People to rise up against the Government to bring the Government into compliance with the Constitution.
The Truth
About Many Advocacy OrganizationsThere are many advocacy groups and organizations forming and many have been around for quite some time. Two groups, The American Civil Liberties Union, and Mr. Ralph Nader's Consumer Protection Group are two of the more successful examples of what is truly needed for court and legal reform. Far too many citizen's are content with the status quo until they personally get involved with lawyers and courts and see what is happening. It is unfortunate that these people will not be bothered when it is happening to their neighbors and fellow citizen's. Many of the Court Reform groups related to family court, parents, mothers, fathers and children's rights advocacy consist mainly of being information brokers and referral sources only and have little intent to actually actively participate in bringing about these changes. These groups have large staffs, huge financial resources and promote the ideas and concepts of reform. However it should be stated very clearly that should these reforms actually come about these groups will no longer have a livelihood. It is said that there are three ways to change the law: 1) Through legislation 2) Through precedent setting court decisions 3) By force and rebellion There is at any given time an abundance of cases available where any one case could be chosen by any of these groups to take the issues to the courts and bring about change. There are enough resources, an abundance of legal, financial, and support resources that these changes could have been made already. These groups are not interested in successfully bringing about these changes for these changes would mean the loss of many jobs and careers. Many organizations who promote change limit their participation to "passing along information," making referrals, organizing and basically making a very stable living off of the situation as it is and truly have no desire to see the changes needed being made. As long as there is confusion, discontent and suffering these advocates will make a substantial living and exist on the status quo. What is really needed is a group to form that will use the financial resources to take some of these cases to court and get these cases into the higher courts and make these changes that the lower courts will have to abide by if the legislators can't seem to get the message. Many of these groups will never do anything more than promote change, pass out fliers, pamphlets, and make referrals. Change can come about, look at what Ralph Nader has done for the consumer; look at what the American Civil Liberties Union has done for the rights of some individuals and many organizations. It should be said that the rights of children are not a priority of the American Civil Liberties Union.m Change is not likely to come bout until it is needed by the many instead of the few, that is the way the system works in this democracy. If corruption was confronted and dealt with because it is the right thing to do, there would not be much corruption. I urge all of you out there visiting my site to do like I did send the letter below to our government officials. Yes your voice will count. If it only manages to briefly catch their eye the first time, After a hundred of the same issues arise daily in their offices they will begin to notice. We are the people that this country was built from. We ultimately are the glue that holds this society together. Screw the high ranking people who abuse the power they are given out of selfish measures. This is our children. Stand up and FIGHT BACK!!!!

Below is a sample of what the Government is ALLOWING to happen to our children.
FEDERAL FALSE CLAIMS ACT. WHISTLEBLOWERS INFORMATION PAGE One very powerful tool that is beginning to be used more often in fighting negligence and corruption of Children's Protectives Services and Welfare Agencies is the knowledge that many of these organizations are receiving federal funds to run these programs and it is illegal to fraud the federal govenment in obtaining funds. This holds true with State Social Services Agencies that receive federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services or other federal agencies. Many programs, especially Children's Protective Services programs, are subcontracted to the Mental Health Field for counseling, evaluation and therapy while these "contracts" are being used more and more by these social welfare agencies. Here is where an "INDUSTRY" has been created and children are not being protected in far too many cases. There are many violations in these areas. These would include billing for mental testing and evaluation that was either improperly done or not necessary. Billing for therapy and counseling that was either not necessary or recommended in order to obtain compensation for fraudulent services provided and use the child as a source of income for these therapists, counselors, and psychologists. When this happens children are left in abusive situations so that more money can be requested to fund and justify the need for this type of program and there is very little regulation and oversight in this "INDUSTRY!" In fact the guidelines and rules to follow are left almost entirely up to the people that administer these programs! There is not any legal definition of what a psychological evaluation is. There is not any legal definition of who is qualified to perfom psychological evaluation and testing. Right now you can travel around the country and see many "Mental Healthcare Centers" being built and additions to these centers. This is a highly unregulated industry and fraud and corruption is growing by leaps and bounds in this "INDUSTRY!" Children's Protective Services is making referrals to these organizations, the Courts are making referrals to these organizations, attorneys are petitioning the courts for orders for evaluation, testing and recommendations while the taxpayer's money is flowing in these directions. I wrote my Senator and asked if there were any legal definitions or legislative definitions and criteria for psychological evaluations and my Senator responded that he had asked the legal research bureau to research this and confirmed that the research staff was unable to find any legal definitions for psychological evaluations. There simply is not any law enacted to provide direction for these types of programs that affect our children's best interests, welfare and our lives. The False Claims Act is an avenue for whistleblowers who seek to expose fraud in federal contracts. Through this Act, individual whistleblower "relators"--employees or non-employees who are original sources of evidence of fraud--can challenge government contract fraud directly before a jury of taxpayers. Used properly, the law is a powerful tool. Whistleblowers must be sure that they meet the requirements for filing a false claims suit, however, and should be aware that it can be a protracted and potentially quite expensive process, unless the Department of Justice (DOJ) takes the case over after initial review. A false claims suit also imposes limitations on the whistleblower: while the case is "under seal' for DOJ review, for example, you cannot discuss the evidence publicly. There are more and more organizations proposing the use of the Federal False Claims Act to provide the public with an effective means to fight corruption and fraud within many administrative agencies. The Child Protection Agencies are beginning to find that as the public becomes more alert and aware of what is really happening to our children while invovled with these programs under the pretense of "Protecting Children" they are also beginning to feel the affects from public awareness of these types of claims. |

Some of the goals and agenda of Children's Rights Advocacy is to promote legal reform regarding the current laws and procedures used by child welfare agencies, courts, and government funded programs, including but not limited to:Set clear legal standards and legal definitions for court ordered psychological evaluations and assessments.Enact legislation that makes it mandatory that child welfare agencies and police investigators videotape children when performing interviews of children so as to accurately preserve the evidence and eliminate the need to subject a child to multiple interviews. The State of New Hampshire has enacted legislation close to this goal. [See this link to review a copy of the New Hampshire legislation]Enact legislation that provides that either party in any court proceeding who is ordered by the court to undergo psychological evaluations and assessments and who requests that these psychological evaluations and assessments be preserved by videotape recording have the right to demand that all parties, including the children involved, be allowed to preserve the evidence by means of videotape recording and that this law be mandatory and not subject to judicial or agency discretion.Enact legislation that when any child welfare, or child protection agency, files child abuse or child neglect proceedings in court that these agencies may not act as accuser and then also be supervisor for supervised visitations which may be ordered by the court.Enact legislation that makes it mandatory that court ordered supervised visitation be videotaped if either party requests it as a right to preserve the evidence.Enact legislation that removes all immunities for social workers, prosecutors, judges, and court appointed expert witnesses for specific violations, including failure to follow administrative rules, violations of due process, and using objectionable procedural and tactical delays.Enact legislation that provides mandatory disclosure by the prosecutor at the time of filing a child abuse or child neglect proceeding in court. Specifically that the prosecutor must file with the court petition all available evidence and documentation supporting the prosecutors allegations contained in the court petition and serve it on the accused with a proof of service before the accused is required to respond, or appear in court.Enact legislation that makes it a criminal act for any prosecutor, child welfare agency, or court appointed expert to knowingly withhold evidence permitted by discovery from the accused, or either party in a court proceeding.Enact legislation that provides for creation of an independent oversight review agency for courts, judges, attorneys, child welfare agencies, and mental health experts that are totally independent from the Judicial Tenure Commission, Attorney Grievance Commission, and State Court Administrative Offices. Specifically that these oversight agencies be created to operate totally independent from any political, or administrative association with existing agencies and have all the power and authority to investigate, prosecute, and remove corrupt and negligent individuals from all aspects of the child welfare system and administrative structure.Enact legislation that creates a Children's Bill of Rights.Enact legislation that creates standards of qualifications for licensing of social workers, mental health professionals, and other agency professionals involved in the child welfare system.Enact legislation that sets mandatory requirements to be performed by attorneys who are appointed by the court to represent children.Enact legislation that provides a standard form for making a written Children's Protective Services Complaint which provides an option for the individual making the complaint to waive the privilege of confidentiality.
If what is decided to be right for Social Workers, Expert Witnesses, Courts, Prosecutors, Judges and the Parents, is wrong for the child then it was not right to begin with!
The link directly below is a new concept being presented here: What is the issue? It is intended to put the "elected on the spot!" Hopefully by the November 2004 elections the issues of immunities will be a major platform during the election campaign which can be accomplished by a letter writing campaign as described on the web page presentation to follow.
It is frustrating to be raised being taught and believing that due process and justice for all is available in this country only to discover that the truth is otherwise and those who learn this truth are also discovering that almost all attempts to seek redress for injustices will first be confronted with disbelief and "who cares!"
Another sad fact is that all the preparation, experience, knowledge and skill is useless in a corrupt court process where it is intended from the very start that a case go a certain direction and that direction only. It is not impossible to prevail under these circumstances but the relief available to those being subjected to these procedures is clearly intended to be extremely difficult to accomplish and obtained only by using the most extraordinary diligence and care.
Politicians and common street hustlers have the same plan for success and that is to convince the victim that "this is a good deal!" It is far more convenient to pay the costs of experiencing these errors and move on with your life than it is to pay the costs for having them corrected and set right. The politician and the street hustler know this all too well!
The whole idea of this presentation and concept is to find a way to make the general public aware of these immunities for the cost of a few postage stamps and making a few copies.
This Web Site is dedicated to all the children who have ever slipped through the cracks of the child welfare system and court processes!
This Web Site is for every child who has suffered the confusion, emotional trauma and inner conflict caused by the negligent and sometimes corrupt acts of the people in the " CHILD WELFARE INDUSTRY" who are not protecting children but are actually protecting their own reputations, careerism, and financial interests instead of the children they are sworn to protect as an act of public service.
If you know of any situations where Children's Protective Services or child welfare agencies failed to protect children, or have any information involving Psychologists, Attorneys, Social Workers, Courts, Judges, where there is documentation, and children were not helped but left in abusive situations, please start writing your federal and state senators and congressional representatives about these important issues and specific cases.
