 Welcome to Citizens for Family Preservation. This site is dedicated to men, women and children who are or were alienated from each other due to government interference.  This includes any and all persons affected by family courts across the nation.

Is the soldier hugging his baby after coming home from a long journey or is he saying goodbye as CPS is taking the baby away? Frequently soldier's children are being removed after being hurt in the line of duty with doctors prescribing addictive pain medication and using all of it as a reason for imminent danger and removal.

 Are they taking their children because they are hurting their babies? Frequently their babies are being removed because the social worker thinks they MIGHT. This story and others like it, are kept from the general public as child after child is torn from families while officials applaud themselves as public heroes.

 

A remake of "There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe"

By Jan Smith

 

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe

She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do

She gave them all broth without any bread

Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed

 

The next day there was a loud knock on the door

And standing behind it were cops lined up four

Along side of them a woman stood with an edict

The court said “take them all” so she heeded it

 

The mother screamed loudly upon deaf ears

The children hysterically shed many tears

But that didn’t faze the stone faced one

As she pushed and dragged out each little son

 

The mother watched helplessly as they took her brood

Away, away, as far as they could

She saw her youngest tapping on the glass

Yelling “mommy mommy” as they drove past

 

The mother collapsed in the driveway

She never got over the trauma they say

Now staring in darkness with a blank sad look

Next to the stack of colorful story books

 

Things could have been different with a little help

The kids could have stayed instead of the hand that was dealt

Now each child is in prison and a drop out from school

Away from a mother who loved them inside of their shoe

 There is an entire population of individuals affected by family law and courts around the nation. As long as we are disconnected from each other, their methods can continue to thrive with few hindrances. It is becoming increasingly clear that division makes our ability to  force Constitutional law oaths by our elected officials null and void. The issues are complex and the lack of trust is born from years of government interference in the family and the ensuing actions used to keep us all off balance.  We need to overcome those obstacles by focusing on a common goal - that of achieving family preservation  and cohesive relationships that benefit most or all parties. Children are best suited for their own families, but where that is not possible, support must be given to those who open up their homes and lives, loving those who would not have love and safety otherwise.

HOW TO TURN A FUN LOVING, LAW ABIDING, "PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN" INTO AN ANGRY, BROODING ANARCHIST IN 15 MONTHS OR LESS

1. Create a funding stream that encourages the states to remove children and adopt out to strangers more so than commit to family preservation

2. Make sure that funding stream comes out of our dwindling social security money to be used against us but make us pay it

3. Create a government agency that seems to answer to nobody then allow them to get as corrupt as they can be without consequence

4. Create a court system that is predominately supportive of the prosecution and make sure that the general public has little recourse regarding decisions made.

5. Create judicial rules and laws that are so lopsided as to be unconstitutional but have all levels of judicial decisions support it

6. Use the excuse that as "Parens Patriae" the government has the Constitutional right to violate all manner of Constitutional law using "compelling interest" and have all levels of the judicial system support that

7. Make sure all stakeholders think this system is therapeutic when it is not as proven by the statistics of what happens to children in foster care and adoptive homes

8. Allow the medical profession and pharmaceutical companies to overdrug a disproportionate number of children in foster care and ignore the fact that those drugs were not made for children and have horrific side effects

9. Allow perjury in the court room by all stakeholders and support it giving them all immunity

10. When perjury is proven, ignore it, and follow CPS recommendations anyway

11. Make sure the parents are burdoned with so many services that they lose their jobs and homes

12. When parents have completed all required services refuse to give the children back anyway

13. Keep extended family ignorant, refuse to give them custody and/or visitation, then say they are no longer bonded therefore foster/adopts should have them

14. Give children to fosters who do not have to go through rigorous scrutiny but make sure that extended family go under a microscope and make a mountain out of mole hill

15. Even though it is proven that placing with extended family is a healthier and more stable option, ignore that fact and over emphasize negatives while placing children with strangers

16. When all else fails, make all family members take a psychological evaluation and even if they pass the tests, give the evaluators the ability to bring in hearsay, professional guessing, and unscientific reasoning then make that stick for the prosecution

17. Give a substantial amount of tax dollars to colleges and universities to brainwash social workers and other clinicians into supporting these unconstitutional methods using sociopathic logic to justify these strategies

18. Provide "court improvement" training that clearly emphasizes support of unconstitutional law with strategies on how to get the public to bend over and take it

19. Create a "mushroom" based legal system with a top heavy prosecution and stakeholder system where the parents/extended family are at the bottom and powerless. Make sure it is a poisonous mushroom so that the accused and those seeking custody end up with PTSD

Things to consider regarding government interference in the family:

  • A supervisor in foster care activism recently had a file go across her desk regarding a removed child. The reason the child was removed is the parents took the child to McDonalds three times in one week.

  • One grandmother who took excellent care of her grandchild lost her when CPS removed the child because the legally estranged father knocked on the door. She didn't answer the door, but that didn't matter.

  • A soldier and his wife got into an argument and their voices escalated which led to CPS removal of their three children.

  • One family got their children removed by an armed police officer and a social worker because of a cluttered porch.

  • Not only is it not a good idea to have children in this country if you are Mormon or Amish, but being Baptist, Pentecostal, or Assembly of God makes one a target as well. It is not separation of church and state when predatory government agents seek to commit theoscide within specific teachings that disagree with liberal ideology.

    • In Michigan, a predominately Amish county was assaulted with half the children removed and placed in foster care.

    • A Thurston County Courthouse in Washington State displayed signs depicting religious men as violent abusers.

    • The holocaust exhibited when Texas CPS and armed militia raided the Mormon compound removing and distributing most of the children violating all kinds of Constitutional rights displays an agency attitude that does not include public opinion.

    • Christian and other homeschoolers are facing removal threats and harassed regularly

  • Foster parents who adjust their lives and become emotionally attached to the children they serve suffer frequently from grief and loss, finding themselves powerless in the system and are often a target for false accusations. One activist for the foster care system refers to them as "warehousers" for the government.

  • Fathers and mothers are increasingly alienated from their children during and after a divorce with one having little to no say in the child's upbringing.

  • Children are not being placed with extended family as required by law, but are being screened out using a different set of criteria than foster parents. Nationally, the average shown is 1/4 of removed children are placed with extended family. The numbers are actually much lower because it does not include the unsubstantiated cases that may take months to resolve.

  • Fighting for due process rights often result in agency/family court retaliation. It becomes "darned if you do, darned if you don't." There is little to no recourse for this retaliation.

  • If extended family contact CPS with concerns about children, that often gets used against them if they try to get custody. This little well kept secret takes many by surprise. They will use this information to divide the family so the parents will not agree to the placement. This act brings in more Title IV money for the state to have foster parents takethe children.
