The
Foster Care Crisis in America is based on
UNETHICAL BEHAVIOUR by our
Governments.
by Jeep Driving Genius
Day after day I am
bombarded with horror stories of abuses going on within
the foster care industry in this great country of ours.
I read stories of child after child dying, or being abused at the
hands of
foster care parents and adoptive parents nationwide. These horror
stories
are not limited to any particular region, state, district or DFS
office
territory. These stories are happening every day, in every city
,county, and
state in this country.
I've studied foster care and adoption statistics recently
released by the
"Federal Department of Health and Human Services ",
which indicate that in a
large number of cases where children are removed from their homes
and their
parents, the abuse is NEVER SUBSTANCIATED.
The statistics are alarming to say the least.

The recent case
getting all the media attention is happening in Idaho. There
are six children holding off the local Police and Sheriff's
Department, with
trained guard dogs, and the children are armed.( According to
most of the
media sources)
The children's mother was arrested and charged with ABUSE and
NEGLECT,
because after the recent death of her husband, she was unable to
provide
food and proper utility service in her home.
The mother was arrested and removed from the home after being
lured by
local authorities by the offer of food for her family, and she is
being held
on $100,000.00 bond.

Rather than having a FAITH BASED organization step in to help
this mother in
need to properly provide for her children, the local Idaho
governments
theory seems to be,
"Let's arrest the mother, take the children into custody
and place them in foster care".
The mother, Ms. McGuckin's Pro Bono Attorney just sent an email
updating me
on the progress of the situation.

I repeat
$100,000.00 Bond.
That sure won't help this mothers financial
situation or enable her to provide for her children now will it?
But if we jump on over to Libery Missouri for a minute, we'll
find that a
foster child was recently killed by her foster mother. The 2 year
old
female child's case is under sealed indictment and the foster
mother/
MURDERESS was released on a bond of $10,000.00
I repeat $10,000.00 Bond
So let me get this straight!!!!
If you kill a child but you're a STATE SANCTIONED FOSTER PARENT ,
your cost
to get out of jail is TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

If you're a
biological parent who has hit hard times due to the death of
your spouse and your own physical illness, and you can't provide
food for
your children, the cost to get out of jail after your arrested
for being
POOR, is ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.!!!!!!!
Is it really that hard to figure out?
I'm asking all of our "ALL KNOWING"
POLITICANS, Social Workers , Judges, and agency workers. What is
wrong with
the foster care system.? Well maybe when you SANCTION FOSTER
PARENTS with the mental ability of an
8-10 year old you may be at the root of a small part of the
problem.

*EX-FOSTER MOTHER ON WITNESS STAND*
by Marlowe Churchill
More interesting testimony reports on the case of a Perris
woman and her husband who are accused with killing their
4-year-old foster child. Theresa Barroso testified she was
abused by her husband, the husband's lawyer states that
Robinson functions at the level of an 8-10 year old and
shys away from conflict. Testimony also given from social
worker.

Is it really that
difficult to figure out why the statistics are as
ludicrous as they are?
This is a NATIONAL
OUTRAGE!!!!!
But are you reading anything about this outrageous behaviour by
our elected
and appointed officals in the mainstream media?
You bet your biffy you're not reading , or hearing about it , nor
is the
main stream media questioning these tactics used to remove
children from
their homes.
That is even one more reason to subscribe to "The adoption
activism press",
All these foster kids being killed and abused are slated to
become the
future adoptees of America folks.
Time to stand up and let your voices be heard.
Time to wake up and smell the coffee America.
Think this isn't touching your life?
Well you'd better hope you don't hit hard times and have children
if you
live in the Great ole USA, because this family in Idaho was a
well liked,
church going, social family a short time ago, but when the
government took
their land, they came back to take their children too!!!
