U.S. Government Establishes Modern Mafia

Kidnapping, coercion, fraud, and extortion occur in only the first 24-72 hours. This sounds like an action of a guerilla group in Central America or perhaps brings back memories of the mobsters portrayed in the movies. However, this is in fact a government agency established for the welfare and protection of families and children.

The majority of cases that involve the removal of children from their home have shifted to “removal without proper cause” or “lack of reason to believe any harm will come to the child”. This is done initially with good intent and very often results in the immediate return of the child, if the family has resources and understanding to hire their own attorney.

The crimes have already begun and continue when the family is financially or educationally incapable of understanding and representing their own interests. Having had the child removed from their home without cause they mistakenly believe that their child with be returned to them because of this mistake.

Fraud, intentional and criminal, is the next step in this process. The agency has to appear in court and prove their case. Fraud occurs when they get the parents into their offices and tell them that “once the child has been taken we have no choice but to proceed”. This is done prior to the court hearing and the parents, now desperate to see their child and traumatized by the kidnapping are told they must sign a “permanency plan” and work with the agency if they want to get their child back.

By getting the grief-stricken, still in shock parents to sign this CONTRACT with the agency, it has managed to bypass the court, the parents have now given up their autonomous rights to their child, and their right to contest any statements entered into the court as evidence by the agency. They also have forfeited their rights to contest the original, unlawful abduction of their child by the agency.

Coercion is the only true description of this process that can be applied. Using a human being to extort your demands from another, in this case traumatized relatives, is kidnapping for profit.

The fraud is increased when the parents have the misfortune of being appointed attorneys by the court system. In these cases, I have found not one example of the appointed attorneys informing the parents of their right to contest, about the contractual negation of that right, or defending them against the institution of an involuntary contract that they have been coerced into signing.

The system is set up in a way that makes it more profitable, measures success, and only rewards the individual parts if the child is made a ward of the state. The appointed attorneys get more pay the longer the process continues. The judicial part gets more funding by handling more cases. The child protection agency makes $7-15,000.oo per child per month. They all get nothing more when the cases are closed. They are not rewarded for reunification of the family, admission of errant action immediately, or preserving the rights of the child and parent.

The institution, CPS (DHS, CFS) established and supported by both the federal and state governments has been corrupted by the very processes they oversee. They have been allowed to act with impunity against the very purposes for which they were established. The agency, the courts, and the court appointed attorneys within this system are encouraged to do so by the very financial arrangements required to maintain their existence.

Fraud, coercion, extortion, and kidnapping now the procedural norm? Intimidation along with vindictive or punitive action against parents who dare attempt to question the process or to stand up for their family’s rights? 

This mafia smiles and reassures you just like the Dons portrayed in the movies. The problem is that like the old Dons, your fear of them is real and their unchecked power is illegal.
