Our Beautful Tri!
Love Always,
Mommy & Emma
My 3 Daughters where snatched by the state of Utah for monitary gain. I was given a defective/drug addict attorney and the state was allowed to lie under oath in order to terminate my parental rights. Their case worker even had the nerve to say my daughters were adoptable because they werer little white girls, What a crock!

'Twas the night before Samhain
'Twas the night before Samhain and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring except for my spouse.
The incense it burned in his Caldron so black,
For witchcraft and magic he'd a wondrous knack.
The circle was drawn with the athame of power, The guardians were called to each quarter tower.
The Lord and the Lady attended our rite,
In wonder and glory and power and might.
The dearly departed came as our guest,
To live once again after their rest.
We bid them goodbye with a tear in our eye,
Such a lovely presence of loved ones so nigh.
The candles danced in the flickering light.
With the Great Rite we bid them all a good night.
The guardians thanked, have all sped away.
The Lord and the Lady, thanks for the day.
The night before Samhain, Gods Bless this house.
A circle of wonder 'round me and my spouse.

I finally figured out why my 2nd appeal to the supreme court was denied. It was because of the Parker Jenson case. Come to find out that we had all the same "players" in our court case, well that is minus the court appointed drug addict that I was given as a defense attorney.
Letter that was published in the newspaper in reguards to the story.
The Judge who took you away from me
I don't blame him as much as I blame the people who lied to him and made up testimony about me. And the drug addict attorney the courts assigned me.

The last time I saw the three of you.
Ashleigh's Birthday present, you weren't a very happy little girl that day.
The letter they had you write to me. I've carried a copy of it in my wallet all these years.
Below is a letter written by the therapist who supervised our visits.

The first time I was allowed to see you three after you were taken on
July 16, 2001. The case records I requested show that I was a good mom and not the monster they made me out to be in court.
They also wanted the judge to believe that you never once asked about me or for me. Which I know was a load of bull.

CPS's Dirty Tricks
WWW. CPSREFORM.COM
DSS Dirty Tricks
This is the "Dirty Tricks" section that isn't in the policy manual, but ought to be, on how to take and keep children. All DSS agents know them, use them, and pass them on as oral tradition. Their goal: Take as many children as possible. Their method: Dirty tricks.
Forget the law and regulations. They do! They use illegal police state tactics, and have all the power. They fear the law no more than Cornelius Vanderbilt, the great "robber baron" financier and railroad builder of the last century did. DSS has everyone, even judges and lawyers, scared of that power.
DSS doesn't seem to know the difference between actual abuse and minor harm, and takes thousands of children every year from families who have not abused them. Spanking, arguing, accidents, even praying, are now considered to be abuse or neglect. If you have intentionally abused your children, that is a different story, and you should get a lawyer to help you.
Most people simply do not believe that a government agency charged with helping families would use these police-state tactics. Believe it. Sometimes it takes months of being on the business end of their dirty tricks before a person finally realizes that the DSS agent is NOT their friend. This information will help you shorten that process of disbelief, and allow you to start protecting yourself before more damage is done to your family.
This material is not a substitute for good legal help. You need a good, dedicated lawyer in order to win. To have a chance against them, you and your lawyer must fight like your children's future depends on it. It does.
THIS MATERIAL IS NOT SPECIFIC LEGAL ADVICE FOR YOUR CASE. THEY ARE GENERAL PRINCIPLES, WHICH MAY NOT APPLY IN EVERY CASE. REVIEW IT WITH YOUR LAWYER BEFORE DECIDING HOW TO DEAL WITH THE DSS. I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR PROBLEMS YOU CAUSE BY NOT GETTING LEGAL ADVICE. YOU WOULD NOT FLY AN AIRPLANE WITH NO TRAINING. DON'T PRACTICE LAW, EITHER, WITHOUT TRAINING.
Dirty Trick No. One -The DSS will pretend to help you, when they are really gathering evidence to take your children. It's a new police state out there.
Dirty Trick No. Two -The DSS will try to get you to talk. SHUT UP!! Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law to take and keep your children.
Dirty Trick No. Three -DSS agents will abuse and traumatize your children themselves.
Dirty Trick No. Four -The DSS will try to get one parent to say incriminating things about the other, especially about domestic abuse.
Dirty Trick No. Five -
Play by the Rules - Lose Your Children.
Can This Be Happening in America?
If you foolishly think that DSS will play by the rules, then they will exploit your weakness, and take your children. If you play by the rules, they will exploit that, and take your children. But if you know how the game is played, you may have a chance to keep your children, or get them back after they are taken. The secret police can be outsmarted.
You will likely ask yourself, "How can this be happening in America?" It is happening, and it is because politicians have been willing to compromise liberty and family rights for support from radical Marxists and feminists who demanded these laws. While no one was watching, these people stole our American System of law and due process, and family rights, and liberty, and quietly substituted this new nightmare of a secret police system that you are now dealing with.
People assume that they will get justice in our courts. No longer. It's gone. The old America that respected family privacy is gone. A new Soviet-style system has taken its place. The sooner you acknowledge that horrible reality, the sooner you stop believing that the old system just HAS to give you justice, the sooner you can start fighting back in an effective manner.
Dirty Trick No. TwoThe DSS will try to get you to talk. SHUT UP!! Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law to take and keep your children.
SHUT UP!
Everything You Say Will be Used Against You in a Court of Law To Take Your Kids.
The two most important words to know in dealing with DSS agents are "SHUT UP". You have the right to remain silent, but they will try to get you to talk. Without your words, they have only what they can coerce out of your children.
"If You Talk, We May Go Easier On You"
The DSS agent will try to convince you to talk, because she only wants to "help" you, and they will make trouble for you if you don't. Don't believe them. Without your "disclosures", they can't destroy you. Put another way, with your disclosures, they CAN destroy you. Many people panic, feeling that they nothing to hide, so they talk. However, if you do, you may never see your children again. Why? Because these are trained interrogators, and you are no match for them.
What do they want to talk about? Anything, because you will eventually give them a tidbit about abuse here, a "disclosure" there, and then, out of your own mouth, they have their case against you. For example, if you admit to having trouble with your spouse, the DSS agent will force you to get a restraining order, and throw the "abuser" out. You will have to write out a statement under oath about the "abuse". Then, they have their case against your family, using your own words to prove there is "domestic violence".
If you talk, you will destroy your family by your own words. You may have merely complained about some minor thing, but you just made their case for them. You may never see your children again. So, SHUT UP! I cannot say it too forcefully, or enough.
Everything You Say Will be Twisted
Everything you say will show up in a report, in a twisted version you will not recognize. If you say you argue with your husband, the report will say, "Husband is verbally abusive". If you say that you discipline your children by spanking them, the report will say, "Parents physically abuse children." If you tell them you are depressed, the report will say, "Parent has mental health issues." If you say your spouse drinks, he will become an "alcoholic" in the report.
Then they will send you to their approved therapist to obtain further admissions, who they can count on to report to them every word you say, in violation of the patient confidentiality law. Don't go to therapy unless you are absolutely certain that the therapist despises DSS.
So what should you do? Act like a prisoner of war, which you are. Give them your name, rank and serial number, and nothing more.
Get a Lawyer!
The best thing you can do is get a lawyer, the right kind of lawyer, one who despises DSS, and then you can blame him for not talking. Tell the DSS agent that you are terribly sorry, that you really want to cooperate, but your lawyer has told you that all communication must go through him. Do not sign anything, particularly a "Service Plan", because it will have admissions galore in it. Just tell them that your lawyer has instructed you to not sign anything until he can review it.
You must do all this with a pleasant smile, and sound sorry that you can't "help" them. Blaming the lawyer is a wonderful thing. What can they do? Everyone knows lawyers are evil.
So, SHUT UP. If you know just those two words, you will have prevented about 90% of your potential future problems.
Dirty Trick No. ThreeDSS agents will abuse and traumatize your children themselves.
The DSS Agent -
Profile of a Real Abuser
If you have ever had your children yanked out of your home by a DSS agent, or have been shoved aside by one in your own home so that she could talk to your child privately, or suffered some other indignity at their hands, you must wonder - what kind of monsters are these people?
They are abusers, at least by their own definition. Genuine abuse exists, of course, and is defined in the law as doing severe physical harm. Real child abusers should be criminally prosecuted, and jailed. But more often than not, the DSS agent's definition of abuse is some psychic perversion of her own making, rather than real abuse. It often means you have religious or family beliefs that differ from those of the DSS agent. Recently, a petition for removal cited a mother praying with her child as harmful.
Most DSS agents actually believe that children should belong to the state, and that parents are evil.
Their motto could be:
MEN ARE ABUSERS.
WOMEN ARE VICTIMS.
CHILDREN ARE OURS.
This changes only if the woman will not become a victim for them, or if the man feminizes himself properly. If you play the victim (even a male victim), and you "need" them, they will work with you. If you keep your dignity and independence (even if you are a woman), then you must be crushed. Victims thrive in their perverse world. Independent people who do not need them have their children taken away.
Kid-less, Clueless
Many DSS agents do not have children of their own, and do not understand that families go through some bad patches once in a while, and just have to be given some room to work it out. The DSS agent, upon hearing from one of their police-state snitches, will swoop in like a vulture, and steal your children. No mercy. No explanations.
They will, without a pang of conscience, traumatize your children by prying their little fingers off your legs, as they wail and cry, and sticking them in their car, maybe never to be seen by you again. Or rip your children, screaming and panicked, from your arms, while sneering about what an abuser you are. Paul the Apostle nailed them, when he called such people, "senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless." (Romans 1:31).
Then, after ruining your whole life by taking your kids, DSS agents actually wonder why you don't warm up to them, and don't want to work with them. It's as though they had punched you in the nose, and then wonder why you bleed.
Children Must Be Taken From Families!
Most DSS agents are either classic Fascists or Marxists, which means they believe children belong to the state. You get to spawn, feed and clothe them, but then the state must educate them, train them to be wards of the state, and take them if you mess up. They believe the state is god, and support its domination in all spheres of life. They believe that rights derive from government authority, not from God, and so they resent all authority which does not acknowledge that. If you are religious, they will likely show a terrible bias against you because of it. They hate family autonomy, parental authority, home schoolers, and church authority.
This is not an exaggeration. Dr. Mary Jo Bane, Clinton's Assistant Secretary of Administration for Children and Families in the Department of Health and Human Services, said: "If we want to talk about equality of opportunity for children, then the fact that children are raised in families means there's no equality . . . In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them." Her federal department is in charge of the national effort to mold state DSS departments into their image.
That is what the communists believe. The following statement issued at a congress of Russian Communist Party educators in 1918 sounds like the credo of the modern DSS agent: "We must remove the children from the crude influence of their families. We must take them over and, to speak frankly, nationalize them." The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx, called for the "abolition of the family." The DSS agents have read that book, and they are coming for your children.
Dirty Trick No. FourThe DSS will try to get one parent to say incriminating things about the other, especially about domestic abuse.
Divide and Conquer - Part 1
Getting One Parent to Rat Out the Other
One of the favorite DSS dirty tricks is to get one parent to say negative things about the other. This accomplishes many wonderful things from their viewpoint.
First Step- Get "Disclosures"
When DSS agents come to your door, they have one goal - to get "disclosures" from one parent about how she fears the other, or how he ‘abuses' her, or argues, or that there are some kind of family problems. Thus, the critical importance of the advice to SHUT UP, and to not say anything bad about your partner. If you do, it will be the beginning of the end, and these disclosures will form the basis for the DSS case against you, following like day after night.
Second Step - Get a Restraining Order
If one parent says something negative about the other one, then the DSS agent can force the talking parent to get a restraining order against the other one. The DSS agent will usually threaten: "If you don't get a restraining order against him, we will take (or keep) your children." Then the person is forced to choose - husband or children.
They will then drive the woman to court to get a restraining order, and even force her to commit perjury, by claiming she is suffering abuse when there is none. The court will almost always issue the order on coerced and perjured testimony. Never mind that forcing someone to testify falsely is a crime, called "suborning perjury". Courts know they do it, but no one stops them.
The results of this are many. The husband is thrown out of the house. They have added to their ‘abuse' statistics. To get the order, you have filled out a statement under oath claiming abuse, and they now have a basis for a case against your family.
Step Three - Get the Other Parent to Retaliate
With a restraining order now in hand, which "proves" abuse, and the "disclosures" the woman gives them, they now have proof that the other parent is unfit. Then, they will go to the other parent, usually the man, and work him over. They will tell him the woman said nasty things about him in an effort to get him to say of nasty things about her. Either in defense or retaliation, the man will often comply.
Now they can prove both parents unfit, and they almost own your family. Only one step remains. Get the children to make disclosures about the parents.
Dirty Trick No. FiveThe DSS will try to get your child to make ‘disclosures' about you, using manipulation, coercion, and fear.
Divide and Conquer - Part 2
Getting the Child to Rat Out the Parent
Whether or not they can get one parent to rat out the other, they will go to work on the children to make ‘disclosures' about the parents. This is one of their dirtiest of tricks, and one of the many reasons they are themselves are abusers. They will manipulate your frightened children into saying almost anything that they want to hear.
They have several tactics, described below:
Every Child Needs Therapy
First and foremost, EVERY child they steal goes into therapy, not to help the child, but to obtain disclosures against you. Obviously, every child they take cannot be mentally ill, but that does not matter- therapy is the order of the day. They must get the admissions from the child to make the case against you and prove you are unfit.
If the "therapist" can obtain any scrap of information from the child about you that may hint of abuse, she will breathlessly run to the DSS and excitedly tell the DSS agent. High fives all around.
They now have a case!
The "therapists" they use are often unlicenced, and work for huge bloated "therapy mills", which are little more than arms of the DSS. For example, South Bay Mental Health Associates has eight offices, each of them in a city with a DSS office. Four of the eight are in the same building as a DSS office! The other four are next door or nearby. The unlicenced "therapists" make illegal medical and clinical diagnoses of your child (even if the child's own doctor has made a completely different diagnosis), to prove there has been abuse.
Prisoner of War Tactics
The tactics used by these fake therapists are akin to those used by interrogators in war. The strategies work with children, because they are frightened, traumatized, taken out of the security of their home, and are often being abused by their foster parents. Under these circumstances, your own children may say the most amazing and untrue things about you after a few months in captivity.
In Soviet Russia, prisoners would eventually admit to most anything,
One technique they use is repeatedly suggesting to the child that mommy and daddy abused them. They implant the idea in the frightened child's head until the child "recovers memories" of the past abuse. They repeatedly ask, "Did Daddy touch you there?" If the answer is no, they ask the same question more insistently, use doll therapy, or find some other way to make the child feel "comfortable" about making admissions.
These sessions can go on weekly for months, or even a year. After that amount of coercion, it is not surprising that they get admissions.
They always believe a child's
" disclosures", but never his denials.
The process only goes one way, like a ratchet. If they can get a disclosure using coercion, manipulation, fear, emotional or physical abuse, appeal to pleasing the captors, or anything else short of torture, that admission becomes the "truth". It can now never be denied, even if the child repeatedly recants it. Then they go to work to get the child to say more, which will also become more "truth" which can never be denied. They always believe a child's disclosures, but never his denials.
The best thing you can do to counter this dirty trick is to make sure, in advance, that your child knows that you only talk to mommy and daddy about things going on in the family, never outsiders. If your children have the inner strength to resist their predatory tactics, and don't make disclosures to the interrogators, you will likely get them back.
Dirty Trick No. SixThe DSS will try to make sure you get a lawyer who will work with them, not against them.
Your Enemy, the Lawyer -
Don't Get One of Theirs
Not only will the DSS try to divide and conquer you, your partner, and your children, but they will try to compromise your lawyer, as well. This is especially true if each partner has a court appointed lawyer, along with a different one for the kids.
Yukking it Up With DSS
A lot of the lawyers who rely on DSS for their work are in cahoots with them, but you may not know it until it is too late. Some agree with their agenda, and others are just too timid to stand up to them.
How do you tell if you have the right lawyer? You have the wrong one if she tells you to cooperate with DSS! You have the wrong one if you see her laughing it up with the DSS lawyer or social workers.
One lawyer is so reliable for DSS, he has his own key to the local DSS office!
The right lawyer will have courage, will believe in the rights of the individual against the state, will respect constitutional restraint on government, will hate the police-state tactics of the DSS, will affirm parental and family authority against the state, will stand up to every unlawful and biased ruling of a judge without fear, and will hate the DSS with a gut-level hatred because it respects none of these things.
More Divide and Conquer
Another ploy by DSS is to have two separate lawyers for each spouse, who often work against each other. Although your partner is sometimes unfortunately your adversary, your real enemy is always DSS. However, the lawyers often work at odds with each other, attacking the other partner, rather than working to get the kids back from DSS together.
Dirty Trick No. SevenAfter DSS takes your children, the court must give you a hearing within 72 hours. They rarely do. At the hearing, DSS will rarely meet the legal standard for keeping custody of your children, but will do so anyway.
The "72 Hour Hearing"
A Cruel Mockery by DSS
If DSS takes your children, the law requires the court to schedule a hearing within 72 hours, where you can prove that they should give your children back. That 72 hours includes weekends, so if they snatch them late Friday (their favorite time, because the court isn't open), they technically must give you a hearing late Monday. They don't.
The DSS Dirty Tricks machine usually goes into overdrive at these hearings, because if you win, they have to give your children back to you.
72 Hours or 72 Days
Their first tactic is to delay the hearing as long as possible, to get the disclosures from you and your children they need to put on their case. Courts accommodate, and often extend the hearing past the date required by law. The bright side of this illegal dirty trick is that you, too, get more time to prepare.
Waive the 72 Hour Hearing, and
Wave Goodbye to Your Children
Many DSS lawyers will urge you to waive the 72 hour hearing. DO NOT DO IT, unless you perpetrated serious abuse. You must go on record as opposing the DSS taking your kids. If you do not, it can be used against you later, and you give up the only chance you will have for a full year to try to get your kids back.
The divide and conquer strategy works very well for the DSS at these hearings. If they can get the spouses and their lawyers to go at each other at this early stage, instead of fighting the REAL enemy (DSS), they easily win. Tell your lawyer to fight in collaboration with the other lawyers, so your kids may come home.
The Judge Will Ignore The Actual
Legal Standard
The legal standard for DSS keeping your children . The DSS usually fails to prove their case, but the Judge will let them keep your children anyway.
To keep custody of your children, the DSS must prove that:
1. They have made "reasonable efforts" to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of a child from the home prior to stealing the child. They rarely do.
2. The child is "suffering from serious abuse or neglect or is in immediate danger of serious abuse or neglect." This means wounds, broken bones, burns, starvation, or the like. It does not mean spanking or psychic harm.
3. Removal continues to be "necessary to protect the child from serious abuse or neglect".
Dirty Trick No. EightThe DSS agent will try to get into your home to do an assessment, but will use the evidence gathered there against you to take your children.
"We Just Need to Come in to Do Our Assessment"
DSS agents want to come in to your house many times during this ordeal, for any number of reasons. It is hard to keep them out, but try your best. They want evidence to use against you, no matter what excuse they give.
The DSS agents will say that they just want to come in for an ‘assessment', or to get some basic information from you, or to see the condition of your home. However, what they really want is to separate your children from you and get "disclosures" of abuse, to get admissions from one parent about the other, to find defects in your housekeeping, or the like. Later visits will have the same purpose, though they will give other reasons.
Make ‘Em Get A Warrant
Should you let them in? Can you even keep them out? The answer is: Maybe. The law as written allows them to come in without a warrant, but the Constitution, which is over the law, does not. However, the issue has not been legally tested in our state, to my knowledge. In the Western States, the Federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that DSS agents must have a warrant to enter when it is not an emergency. That has not happened in our area yet.
Every subject has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches, and seizures, of his person, his houses, his papers, and all his possessions. All warrants, therefore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation for them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation; and if the order in the warrant to a civil officer, to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or more suspected persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designation of the persons or objects of search, arrest, or seizure: and no warrant ought to be issued but in cases, and with the formalities prescribed by the laws.
This Article says they cannot come in or take your children without a warrant. However, courts usually ignore the clear wording of our Constitution, and turn a blind eye to this outrageous wrong. Their excuse is that the law does not apply because the "best interest of the children" overrides the law.
My recommendation: Stand on your rights, and politely, but firmly, demand a warrant before letting them in. Talk to your lawyer before doing this, because it is risky, even though it is right. If there is a policeman with a gun, who will not back off when confronted with the Constitutional requirement to get a warrant, you better let him in, and live to fight another day.
Dirty Trick No. NineThe DSS has a network of "mandated reporters" everywhere your child is, to snitch on you. All helping professionals are required to report you to DSS if they suspect abuse; The people you think will help you will now betray you.
Everyone is a Snitch-
Who Can You Talk To?
One of the scariest DSS dirty tricks is a vast Soviet Style snitch network which they have set up all over the state, with the force of law, to report you to the authorities. This network is made up of ALL teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, therapists, police officers, dentists, chiropractors, day care workers, school counselors, etc. These people must report any suspected "abuse", or be prosecuted and fined. They cannot be prosecuted for making a false report, unless it is frivolous.
All these people, called "mandated reporters", have been endlessly taught the importance of reporting. All their professional seminars, their whole culture, demands that they report, just in case. When in doubt, they report. Then, if there really is abuse, they won't get in trouble. Thus, the DSS has a seamless web of snoops and spies just about everywhere a child is likely to be.
Even Your Child is a Snitch
Even worse, you are no longer safe from the DSS police in your own home. They have also found a way to turn your own child against you. At the government (public) school, children are given the DSS phone number, and are taught to report things they see in the home to the authorities, like corporal punishment, drug use, and even family arguments They break down children's respect for their parents, and foster a submission to the state.
What they don't tell a child is that if he reports his parents to DSS, he may destroy his whole family forever. The child may be mad about getting disciplined, so he'll get even by siccing DSS on them. Then, they take that child, and all the other ones, too, just in case. DSS didn't tell the child that it would happen that way, but now it's too late, just like Judas.
You Thought You Were Getting Help
When you go to a counselor to get help, when you take Johnny to the emergency room if he falls off his bike, or when you talk to his school counselor, watch out. You are now a suspect. The person to whom you turned for help is likely your enemy, and may turn you in. You may go for help, and end up losing your kids. You need to think differently about how to get help. Of course, never ask the DSS for help. Many people do, and lose their kids.
Where Can You Go?
Who can you go to? Only two types of professionals cannot be made to divulge what you tell them, clergy and lawyers. Both are a little shaky, either due to fear of DSS, or because they agree with the doctrine of state control of families.
Clergy have a privilege not to report, or to testify about what you say to them. Lawyers have an even more ironclad privilege, called "attorney-client privilege". Many lawyers, however, wanting to curry favor with DSS, will actually betray their client's confidences. So, find a clergyman or a lawyer who hates DSS, and tell him your problems. That clergyman or lawyer may be able to help you find a medical professional who hates DSS enough to not report if your child has been hurt.
Solve Half of Your Snitch Problem
With This One Action
The other thing you MUST do is get your children out of the government (public) school. It is the major pipeline from DSS to your child. DSS takes children right out of school when they can coerce them into making "disclosures", and they don't come home that day. Sometimes DSS doesn't even tell the parents, and when mom comes to pick up the child at the bus stop, there is no child, and no one knows why. Needless to say, the parents are frantic, until they finally figure out what happened.
If you send your kids to a government school, you are sending them to your enemy to be educated. They will be taught to hate you and your values, and to sell you out. Get them out, before it's too late. This is the principle of "staying under the radar", which we review in detail in the "Fight Back" section.
Dirty Trick No. Ten
The More They Take, the More They Make
A recent federal law actually establishes adoption quotas for each state, with bonuses for each child adopted out, and even more money for every child adopted exceeding the quota. ‘Special needs' children earn even more, both during the ‘lease' period and at the final ‘sale'. A researcher in one state found that a severely needy child can earn its masters up to $250,000 a year in government money. We are still awaiting the figures for the Commonwealth, but the state budget for the DSS alone is over half a billion dollars, not including the money for lots of outside contractors and medical care.
If They Can Keep the Children Long Enough,
They Must Be Adopted
Keeping the children for a year is important, because, under a new law, they must adopt them out after 15 months!. So, if DSS can keep your children a little over a year, they can sell them for some significant cash. They will drag out the case as long as possible to manipulate this outcome. Yes, they will literally SELL your children because they themselves have kept them too long. You should see, as I have, the DSS agents having warm fuzzies over this, while the parents bitterly weep.
If you finally manage to get your case to trial, that is the first time you or your lawyer will have to tell your story to a judge. However, the fact that DSS has kept your children for a year can actually be used against you at the trial! The DSS will argue that it would traumatize the children to take them from their foster home, because they have now bonded with the foster parents. In their warped view, it would traumatize them to send them back to the parents, even though it didn't bother them to rip your baby out of your arms a year before.
actually makes bonding with the foster parents a basis for terminating parental rights. They take the children, delay the trial, and then use that as a reason why they need to keep them.
Dirty Trick No. Eleven
The DSS will try to get you to sign a "service plan" that will incriminate you, and help them get information to make their case against you.
Service Plans - "Sign Ze Papers, Or Else"
After the DSS takes your child, snoops around your house, and gets you to incriminate yourself, you are then ready for one of their next dirty tricks - the so-called "Service Plan".
This 7 to 10 page document is a cut-and-paste monstrosity that serves the purposes of the DSS: That is, to get you to give evidence against yourself, and to remold you into embracing big brother through therapy and re-education. It keeps you occupied with the hope that you will get your children back, while it dampens your anger against the nice folks who kidnapped them.
Don't sign it, unless your lawyer advises you to do so. If you sign it, you are admitting to your ‘crimes' (sometimes literally), committing yourself to therapy, and possibly ensuring that you will never see your kids again. The DSS agent will exert much pressure to have you sign this plan. Don't do it, despite their threats that not cooperating will make it worse for you, and prolong getting your kids back.
There are many other good reasons to not sign their plan. For example, many plans require attendance at a batterers program. If you go to such a program, you are given two bad options: 1) Admit you are a batterer, and then you will not get your kids back; Or 2) Deny you are a batterer, then you are a "batterer in denial", and you will not get your kids back. Either way, you lose.
Every service plan requires therapy, the sacred DSS sacrament, and it must be from a therapist of their choice, so that DSS can have access to all the information to help them make their case against you. Women are often sentenced to attend group victim therapy, where everyone is supposed to sit around and whine about their victimhood, and affirm everyone else's. No one is allowed to get past her victimhood, or there would be no need for them. Statements made at these victim groups are immediately reported to the secret police at DSS.
The best tactic to finesse DSS pressure to sign their service plan, is to tell them that you must show it to your lawyer, and can't sign it without his approval. This can create substantial delay. Then, actually do as many of the activities required by the plan, as possible, without telling them you are doing so. Get your own therapist who hates DSS, and get a psychological evaluation, and a glowing report about your therapy sessions. Go to a parenting class. Get urine screens, if that is on it. Do whatever activities on the plan that will not cause either a report to be made to DSS, or cause a bad result later.
Then, when you go to court for a hearing, and the DSS says you will not cooperate, you can pull out all the reports and evidence that shows that you did everything they required, and aren't they going to be embarrassed!
If DSS takes your children, they will keep them a year, and try to adopt them out - They earn up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year per child taken, and keep a lot of cronies in work.
Follow the Money -
There's Gold in Them Thar' Kids
If DSS has stolen your children, you are probably tormented, thinking, "Why? Why?", anguishing day after sleepless night over why this has all happened. As with many things in life, when there seems to be no rational basis for what has happened - follow the money.
In this case, the DSS can make a ton of money by ‘leasing' out your child to a foster home for a year, and then ‘selling' (adopting out) the child at the end of the ‘lease'. While the child is in their captivity, they can leverage lots of state and federal cash from numerous programs. If DSS can get you to incriminate yourself, or manipulate your child into making false disclosures, they can get a court to terminate your parental rights, and then adopt the child out, for more big bucks.The DSS will try to get your child to make ‘disclosures' about you, using manipulation, coercion, and fear.
Dirty Trick No. Six -The DSS will try to make sure you get a lawyer who will work with them, not against them.
Dirty Trick No. Seven -After DSS takes your children, the court must give you a hearing within 72 hours. They rarely do. At the hearing, DSS will rarely meet the legal standard for keeping custody of your children, but will do so anyway.
Dirty Trick No. Eight -The DSS agent will try to get into your home to do an assessment, but will use the evidence gathered there against you to take your children.
Dirty Trick No. Nine -The DSS has a network of "mandated reporters" everywhere your child is, to snitch on you. All helping professionals are required to report you to DSS if they suspect abuse; The people you think will help you will now betray you.
Dirty Trick No. Ten -If DSS takes your children, they will keep them a year, and try to adopt them out - They earn up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year per child taken, and keep a lot of cronies in work.
Dirty Trick No. Eleven -The DSS will try to get you to sign a "service plan" that will incriminate you, and help them get information to make their case against you.
Dirty Trick No. Twelve -The DSS will withhold key records that you need to make your case, even though they are required by law to give them to you.
Dirty Trick No. Thirteen -The DSS allows you to challenge their findings of abuse - But their own agents do the review, and call it a "Fair Hearing".
Dirty Trick No. Fourteen -The DSS will rarely let you visit your children, and will not let you show affection when you do.
Dirty Trick No. Fifteen -Although the law requires the DSS to place your children with relatives, if available, they will try to stop it.
Dirty Trick No. Sixteen -The DSS will keep you from any legal challenge to their custody of your children for a year or more.
Dirty Trick No. Seventeen -If the DSS can't get you for abuse or neglect, it will get you for not stopping abuse and neglect by your partner i.e., "Safety issues".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
Dirty Trick No. OneThe DSS will pretend to help you, when they are really gathering evidence to take your children. It's a new police state out there.
They Want Your Kids
The first DSS dirty trick is making you think they would NEVER use dirty tricks to take your children. Beneath the nice exterior of your friendly DSS agent is a person whose job is to take children - your children. DSS takes children from about 25% of the families for which they provide services, and that percentage is on the increase.
They Only Want to "Help" You
DSS is there to help you, right? Wrong. Former Speaker of the House Jim Wright, a Texan, was a master at "helping" his opponents. He would say, when he was trying to twist the arms of his colleagues, "Ah only want to Hep yew." When he was "heppin' yew", that's when you had to be the most careful. It is the same with the DSS.
Some DSS agents want to help families, and some don't. However, the system itself rarely does. Most DSS agents don't know or respect the restrictions in the law against taking children, and no one holds them accountable. Even judges cannot reign them in. So they do as they please, not what the law allows or requires. They have managed to form their own secret police, just like in Communist countries.
Many people ask the DSS for "voluntary services", only to find out too late that asking for help brings the whole DSS down on them. That is literally asking to have your children taken.
The Law Requires Them to Try to Unite Families
The law says that DSS must try to unite families, not destroy them. Example: Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 119, Section 1 says: "It is hereby declared to be the policy of this Commonwealth to direct its efforts, first, to the strengthening and encouragement of family life for the protection and care of children . . ." They talk about help, and stabilizing intact families, and therapy, but it's all a cruel lie. They really want to take your kids. So, their first dirty trick is to say they want to help you. Don't fall for it. They will offer "services", and home visits, and nice chats about your life and the bad things your spouse did. Don't do it. Shut up. They do not want to help you. Be pleasant, but firm. As explained in the next section, if you talk, or accept their ‘services', you may never see your children again..
DSS Dirty Tricks
This is the "Dirty Tricks" section that isn't in the policy manual, but ought to be, on how to take and keep children. All DSS agents know them, use them, and pass them on as oral tradition. Their goal: Take as many children as possible. Their method: Dirty tricks.
Forget the law and regulations. They do! They use illegal police state tactics, and have all the power. They fear the law no more than Cornelius Vanderbilt, the great "robber baron" financier and railroad builder of the last century did. DSS has everyone, even judges and lawyers, scared of that power.
DSS doesn't seem to know the difference between actual abuse and minor harm, and takes thousands of children every year from families who have not abused them. Spanking, arguing, accidents, even praying, are now considered to be abuse or neglect. If you have intentionally abused your children, that is a different story, and you should get a lawyer to help you.
Most people simply do not believe that a government agency charged with helping families would use these police-state tactics. Believe it. Sometimes it takes months of being on the business end of their dirty tricks before a person finally realizes that the DSS agent is NOT their friend. This information will help you shorten that process of disbelief, and allow you to start protecting yourself before more damage is done to your family.
This material is not a substitute for good legal help. You need a good, dedicated lawyer in order to win. To have a chance against them, you and your lawyer must fight like your children's future depends on it. It does.
THIS MATERIAL IS NOT SPECIFIC LEGAL ADVICE FOR YOUR CASE. THEY ARE GENERAL PRINCIPLES, WHICH MAY NOT APPLY IN EVERY CASE. REVIEW IT WITH YOUR LAWYER BEFORE DECIDING HOW TO DEAL WITH THE DSS. I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR PROBLEMS YOU CAUSE BY NOT GETTING LEGAL ADVICE. YOU WOULD NOT FLY AN AIRPLANE WITH NO TRAINING. DON'T PRACTICE LAW, EITHER, WITHOUT TRAINING.
Dirty Trick No. One -The DSS will pretend to help you, when they are really gathering evidence to take your children. It's a new police state out there.
Dirty Trick No. Two -The DSS will try to get you to talk. SHUT UP!! Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law to take and keep your children.
Dirty Trick No. Three -DSS agents will abuse and traumatize your children themselves.
Dirty Trick No. Four -The DSS will try to get one parent to say incriminating things about the other, especially about domestic abuse.
Dirty Trick No. Five -
Play by the Rules - Lose Your Children.
Can This Be Happening in America?
If you foolishly think that DSS will play by the rules, then they will exploit your weakness, and take your children. If you play by the rules, they will exploit that, and take your children. But if you know how the game is played, you may have a chance to keep your children, or get them back after they are taken. The secret police can be outsmarted.
You will likely ask yourself, "How can this be happening in America?" It is happening, and it is because politicians have been willing to compromise liberty and family rights for support from radical Marxists and feminists who demanded these laws. While no one was watching, these people stole our American System of law and due process, and family rights, and liberty, and quietly substituted this new nightmare of a secret police system that you are now dealing with.
People assume that they will get justice in our courts. No longer. It's gone. The old America that respected family privacy is gone. A new Soviet-style system has taken its place. The sooner you acknowledge that horrible reality, the sooner you stop believing that the old system just HAS to give you justice, the sooner you can start fighting back in an effective manner.
Dirty Trick No. TwoThe DSS will try to get you to talk. SHUT UP!! Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law to take and keep your children.
SHUT UP!
Everything You Say Will be Used Against You in a Court of Law To Take Your Kids.
The two most important words to know in dealing with DSS agents are "SHUT UP". You have the right to remain silent, but they will try to get you to talk. Without your words, they have only what they can coerce out of your children.
"If You Talk, We May Go Easier On You"
The DSS agent will try to convince you to talk, because she only wants to "help" you, and they will make trouble for you if you don't. Don't believe them. Without your "disclosures", they can't destroy you. Put another way, with your disclosures, they CAN destroy you. Many people panic, feeling that they nothing to hide, so they talk. However, if you do, you may never see your children again. Why? Because these are trained interrogators, and you are no match for them.
What do they want to talk about? Anything, because you will eventually give them a tidbit about abuse here, a "disclosure" there, and then, out of your own mouth, they have their case against you. For example, if you admit to having trouble with your spouse, the DSS agent will force you to get a restraining order, and throw the "abuser" out. You will have to write out a statement under oath about the "abuse". Then, they have their case against your family, using your own words to prove there is "domestic violence".
If you talk, you will destroy your family by your own words. You may have merely complained about some minor thing, but you just made their case for them. You may never see your children again. So, SHUT UP! I cannot say it too forcefully, or enough.
Everything You Say Will be Twisted
Everything you say will show up in a report, in a twisted version you will not recognize. If you say you argue with your husband, the report will say, "Husband is verbally abusive". If you say that you discipline your children by spanking them, the report will say, "Parents physically abuse children." If you tell them you are depressed, the report will say, "Parent has mental health issues." If you say your spouse drinks, he will become an "alcoholic" in the report.
Then they will send you to their approved therapist to obtain further admissions, who they can count on to report to them every word you say, in violation of the patient confidentiality law. Don't go to therapy unless you are absolutely certain that the therapist despises DSS.
So what should you do? Act like a prisoner of war, which you are. Give them your name, rank and serial number, and nothing more.
Get a Lawyer!
The best thing you can do is get a lawyer, the right kind of lawyer, one who despises DSS, and then you can blame him for not talking. Tell the DSS agent that you are terribly sorry, that you really want to cooperate, but your lawyer has told you that all communication must go through him. Do not sign anything, particularly a "Service Plan", because it will have admissions galore in it. Just tell them that your lawyer has instructed you to not sign anything until he can review it.
You must do all this with a pleasant smile, and sound sorry that you can't "help" them. Blaming the lawyer is a wonderful thing. What can they do? Everyone knows lawyers are evil.
So, SHUT UP. If you know just those two words, you will have prevented about 90% of your potential future problems.
Dirty Trick No. ThreeDSS agents will abuse and traumatize your children themselves.
The DSS Agent -
Profile of a Real Abuser
If you have ever had your children yanked out of your home by a DSS agent, or have been shoved aside by one in your own home so that she could talk to your child privately, or suffered some other indignity at their hands, you must wonder - what kind of monsters are these people?
They are abusers, at least by their own definition. Genuine abuse exists, of course, and is defined in the law as doing severe physical harm. Real child abusers should be criminally prosecuted, and jailed. But more often than not, the DSS agent's definition of abuse is some psychic perversion of her own making, rather than real abuse. It often means you have religious or family beliefs that differ from those of the DSS agent. Recently, a petition for removal cited a mother praying with her child as harmful.
Most DSS agents actually believe that children should belong to the state, and that parents are evil.
Their motto could be:
MEN ARE ABUSERS.
WOMEN ARE VICTIMS.
CHILDREN ARE OURS.
This changes only if the woman will not become a victim for them, or if the man feminizes himself properly. If you play the victim (even a male victim), and you "need" them, they will work with you. If you keep your dignity and independence (even if you are a woman), then you must be crushed. Victims thrive in their perverse world. Independent people who do not need them have their children taken away.
Kid-less, Clueless
Many DSS agents do not have children of their own, and do not understand that families go through some bad patches once in a while, and just have to be given some room to work it out. The DSS agent, upon hearing from one of their police-state snitches, will swoop in like a vulture, and steal your children. No mercy. No explanations.
They will, without a pang of conscience, traumatize your children by prying their little fingers off your legs, as they wail and cry, and sticking them in their car, maybe never to be seen by you again. Or rip your children, screaming and panicked, from your arms, while sneering about what an abuser you are. Paul the Apostle nailed them, when he called such people, "senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless." (Romans 1:31).
Then, after ruining your whole life by taking your kids, DSS agents actually wonder why you don't warm up to them, and don't want to work with them. It's as though they had punched you in the nose, and then wonder why you bleed.
Children Must Be Taken From Families!
Most DSS agents are either classic Fascists or Marxists, which means they believe children belong to the state. You get to spawn, feed and clothe them, but then the state must educate them, train them to be wards of the state, and take them if you mess up. They believe the state is god, and support its domination in all spheres of life. They believe that rights derive from government authority, not from God, and so they resent all authority which does not acknowledge that. If you are religious, they will likely show a terrible bias against you because of it. They hate family autonomy, parental authority, home schoolers, and church authority.
This is not an exaggeration. Dr. Mary Jo Bane, Clinton's Assistant Secretary of Administration for Children and Families in the Department of Health and Human Services, said: "If we want to talk about equality of opportunity for children, then the fact that children are raised in families means there's no equality . . . In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them." Her federal department is in charge of the national effort to mold state DSS departments into their image.
That is what the communists believe. The following statement issued at a congress of Russian Communist Party educators in 1918 sounds like the credo of the modern DSS agent: "We must remove the children from the crude influence of their families. We must take them over and, to speak frankly, nationalize them." The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx, called for the "abolition of the family." The DSS agents have read that book, and they are coming for your children.
Dirty Trick No. FourThe DSS will try to get one parent to say incriminating things about the other, especially about domestic abuse.
Divide and Conquer - Part 1
Getting One Parent to Rat Out the Other
One of the favorite DSS dirty tricks is to get one parent to say negative things about the other. This accomplishes many wonderful things from their viewpoint.
First Step- Get "Disclosures"
When DSS agents come to your door, they have one goal - to get "disclosures" from one parent about how she fears the other, or how he ‘abuses' her, or argues, or that there are some kind of family problems. Thus, the critical importance of the advice to SHUT UP, and to not say anything bad about your partner. If you do, it will be the beginning of the end, and these disclosures will form the basis for the DSS case against you, following like day after night.
Second Step - Get a Restraining Order
If one parent says something negative about the other one, then the DSS agent can force the talking parent to get a restraining order against the other one. The DSS agent will usually threaten: "If you don't get a restraining order against him, we will take (or keep) your children." Then the person is forced to choose - husband or children.
They will then drive the woman to court to get a restraining order, and even force her to commit perjury, by claiming she is suffering abuse when there is none. The court will almost always issue the order on coerced and perjured testimony. Never mind that forcing someone to testify falsely is a crime, called "suborning perjury". Courts know they do it, but no one stops them.
The results of this are many. The husband is thrown out of the house. They have added to their ‘abuse' statistics. To get the order, you have filled out a statement under oath claiming abuse, and they now have a basis for a case against your family.
Step Three - Get the Other Parent to Retaliate
With a restraining order now in hand, which "proves" abuse, and the "disclosures" the woman gives them, they now have proof that the other parent is unfit. Then, they will go to the other parent, usually the man, and work him over. They will tell him the woman said nasty things about him in an effort to get him to say of nasty things about her. Either in defense or retaliation, the man will often comply.
Now they can prove both parents unfit, and they almost own your family. Only one step remains. Get the children to make disclosures about the parents.
Dirty Trick No. FiveThe DSS will try to get your child to make ‘disclosures' about you, using manipulation, coercion, and fear.
Divide and Conquer - Part 2
Getting the Child to Rat Out the Parent
Whether or not they can get one parent to rat out the other, they will go to work on the children to make ‘disclosures' about the parents. This is one of their dirtiest of tricks, and one of the many reasons they are themselves are abusers. They will manipulate your frightened children into saying almost anything that they want to hear.
They have several tactics, described below:
Every Child Needs Therapy
First and foremost, EVERY child they steal goes into therapy, not to help the child, but to obtain disclosures against you. Obviously, every child they take cannot be mentally ill, but that does not matter- therapy is the order of the day. They must get the admissions from the child to make the case against you and prove you are unfit.
If the "therapist" can obtain any scrap of information from the child about you that may hint of abuse, she will breathlessly run to the DSS and excitedly tell the DSS agent. High fives all around.
They now have a case!
The "therapists" they use are often unlicenced, and work for huge bloated "therapy mills", which are little more than arms of the DSS. For example, South Bay Mental Health Associates has eight offices, each of them in a city with a DSS office. Four of the eight are in the same building as a DSS office! The other four are next door or nearby. The unlicenced "therapists" make illegal medical and clinical diagnoses of your child (even if the child's own doctor has made a completely different diagnosis), to prove there has been abuse.
Prisoner of War Tactics
The tactics used by these fake therapists are akin to those used by interrogators in war. The strategies work with children, because they are frightened, traumatized, taken out of the security of their home, and are often being abused by their foster parents. Under these circumstances, your own children may say the most amazing and untrue things about you after a few months in captivity.
In Soviet Russia, prisoners would eventually admit to most anything,
One technique they use is repeatedly suggesting to the child that mommy and daddy abused them. They implant the idea in the frightened child's head until the child "recovers memories" of the past abuse. They repeatedly ask, "Did Daddy touch you there?" If the answer is no, they ask the same question more insistently, use doll therapy, or find some other way to make the child feel "comfortable" about making admissions.
These sessions can go on weekly for months, or even a year. After that amount of coercion, it is not surprising that they get admissions.
They always believe a child's
" disclosures", but never his denials.
The process only goes one way, like a ratchet. If they can get a disclosure using coercion, manipulation, fear, emotional or physical abuse, appeal to pleasing the captors, or anything else short of torture, that admission becomes the "truth". It can now never be denied, even if the child repeatedly recants it. Then they go to work to get the child to say more, which will also become more "truth" which can never be denied. They always believe a child's disclosures, but never his denials.
The best thing you can do to counter this dirty trick is to make sure, in advance, that your child knows that you only talk to mommy and daddy about things going on in the family, never outsiders. If your children have the inner strength to resist their predatory tactics, and don't make disclosures to the interrogators, you will likely get them back.
Dirty Trick No. SixThe DSS will try to make sure you get a lawyer who will work with them, not against them.
Your Enemy, the Lawyer -
Don't Get One of Theirs
Not only will the DSS try to divide and conquer you, your partner, and your children, but they will try to compromise your lawyer, as well. This is especially true if each partner has a court appointed lawyer, along with a different one for the kids.
Yukking it Up With DSS
A lot of the lawyers who rely on DSS for their work are in cahoots with them, but you may not know it until it is too late. Some agree with their agenda, and others are just too timid to stand up to them.
How do you tell if you have the right lawyer? You have the wrong one if she tells you to cooperate with DSS! You have the wrong one if you see her laughing it up with the DSS lawyer or social workers.
One lawyer is so reliable for DSS, he has his own key to the local DSS office!
The right lawyer will have courage, will believe in the rights of the individual against the state, will respect constitutional restraint on government, will hate the police-state tactics of the DSS, will affirm parental and family authority against the state, will stand up to every unlawful and biased ruling of a judge without fear, and will hate the DSS with a gut-level hatred because it respects none of these things.
More Divide and Conquer
Another ploy by DSS is to have two separate lawyers for each spouse, who often work against each other. Although your partner is sometimes unfortunately your adversary, your real enemy is always DSS. However, the lawyers often work at odds with each other, attacking the other partner, rather than working to get the kids back from DSS together.
Dirty Trick No. SevenAfter DSS takes your children, the court must give you a hearing within 72 hours. They rarely do. At the hearing, DSS will rarely meet the legal standard for keeping custody of your children, but will do so anyway.
The "72 Hour Hearing"
A Cruel Mockery by DSS
If DSS takes your children, the law requires the court to schedule a hearing within 72 hours, where you can prove that they should give your children back. That 72 hours includes weekends, so if they snatch them late Friday (their favorite time, because the court isn't open), they technically must give you a hearing late Monday. They don't.
The DSS Dirty Tricks machine usually goes into overdrive at these hearings, because if you win, they have to give your children back to you.
72 Hours or 72 Days
Their first tactic is to delay the hearing as long as possible, to get the disclosures from you and your children they need to put on their case. Courts accommodate, and often extend the hearing past the date required by law. The bright side of this illegal dirty trick is that you, too, get more time to prepare.
Waive the 72 Hour Hearing, and
Wave Goodbye to Your Children
Many DSS lawyers will urge you to waive the 72 hour hearing. DO NOT DO IT, unless you perpetrated serious abuse. You must go on record as opposing the DSS taking your kids. If you do not, it can be used against you later, and you give up the only chance you will have for a full year to try to get your kids back.
The divide and conquer strategy works very well for the DSS at these hearings. If they can get the spouses and their lawyers to go at each other at this early stage, instead of fighting the REAL enemy (DSS), they easily win. Tell your lawyer to fight in collaboration with the other lawyers, so your kids may come home.
The Judge Will Ignore The Actual
Legal Standard
The legal standard for DSS keeping your children . The DSS usually fails to prove their case, but the Judge will let them keep your children anyway.
To keep custody of your children, the DSS must prove that:
1. They have made "reasonable efforts" to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of a child from the home prior to stealing the child. They rarely do.
2. The child is "suffering from serious abuse or neglect or is in immediate danger of serious abuse or neglect." This means wounds, broken bones, burns, starvation, or the like. It does not mean spanking or psychic harm.
3. Removal continues to be "necessary to protect the child from serious abuse or neglect".
Dirty Trick No. EightThe DSS agent will try to get into your home to do an assessment, but will use the evidence gathered there against you to take your children.
"We Just Need to Come in to Do Our Assessment"
DSS agents want to come in to your house many times during this ordeal, for any number of reasons. It is hard to keep them out, but try your best. They want evidence to use against you, no matter what excuse they give.
The DSS agents will say that they just want to come in for an ‘assessment', or to get some basic information from you, or to see the condition of your home. However, what they really want is to separate your children from you and get "disclosures" of abuse, to get admissions from one parent about the other, to find defects in your housekeeping, or the like. Later visits will have the same purpose, though they will give other reasons.
Make ‘Em Get A Warrant
Should you let them in? Can you even keep them out? The answer is: Maybe. The law as written allows them to come in without a warrant, but the Constitution, which is over the law, does not. However, the issue has not been legally tested in our state, to my knowledge. In the Western States, the Federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that DSS agents must have a warrant to enter when it is not an emergency. That has not happened in our area yet.
Every subject has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches, and seizures, of his person, his houses, his papers, and all his possessions. All warrants, therefore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation for them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation; and if the order in the warrant to a civil officer, to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or more suspected persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designation of the persons or objects of search, arrest, or seizure: and no warrant ought to be issued but in cases, and with the formalities prescribed by the laws.
This Article says they cannot come in or take your children without a warrant. However, courts usually ignore the clear wording of our Constitution, and turn a blind eye to this outrageous wrong. Their excuse is that the law does not apply because the "best interest of the children" overrides the law.
My recommendation: Stand on your rights, and politely, but firmly, demand a warrant before letting them in. Talk to your lawyer before doing this, because it is risky, even though it is right. If there is a policeman with a gun, who will not back off when confronted with the Constitutional requirement to get a warrant, you better let him in, and live to fight another day.
Dirty Trick No. NineThe DSS has a network of "mandated reporters" everywhere your child is, to snitch on you. All helping professionals are required to report you to DSS if they suspect abuse; The people you think will help you will now betray you.
Everyone is a Snitch-
Who Can You Talk To?
One of the scariest DSS dirty tricks is a vast Soviet Style snitch network which they have set up all over the state, with the force of law, to report you to the authorities. This network is made up of ALL teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, therapists, police officers, dentists, chiropractors, day care workers, school counselors, etc. These people must report any suspected "abuse", or be prosecuted and fined. They cannot be prosecuted for making a false report, unless it is frivolous.
All these people, called "mandated reporters", have been endlessly taught the importance of reporting. All their professional seminars, their whole culture, demands that they report, just in case. When in doubt, they report. Then, if there really is abuse, they won't get in trouble. Thus, the DSS has a seamless web of snoops and spies just about everywhere a child is likely to be.
Even Your Child is a Snitch
Even worse, you are no longer safe from the DSS police in your own home. They have also found a way to turn your own child against you. At the government (public) school, children are given the DSS phone number, and are taught to report things they see in the home to the authorities, like corporal punishment, drug use, and even family arguments They break down children's respect for their parents, and foster a submission to the state.
What they don't tell a child is that if he reports his parents to DSS, he may destroy his whole family forever. The child may be mad about getting disciplined, so he'll get even by siccing DSS on them. Then, they take that child, and all the other ones, too, just in case. DSS didn't tell the child that it would happen that way, but now it's too late, just like Judas.
You Thought You Were Getting Help
When you go to a counselor to get help, when you take Johnny to the emergency room if he falls off his bike, or when you talk to his school counselor, watch out. You are now a suspect. The person to whom you turned for help is likely your enemy, and may turn you in. You may go for help, and end up losing your kids. You need to think differently about how to get help. Of course, never ask the DSS for help. Many people do, and lose their kids.
Where Can You Go?
Who can you go to? Only two types of professionals cannot be made to divulge what you tell them, clergy and lawyers. Both are a little shaky, either due to fear of DSS, or because they agree with the doctrine of state control of families.
Clergy have a privilege not to report, or to testify about what you say to them. Lawyers have an even more ironclad privilege, called "attorney-client privilege". Many lawyers, however, wanting to curry favor with DSS, will actually betray their client's confidences. So, find a clergyman or a lawyer who hates DSS, and tell him your problems. That clergyman or lawyer may be able to help you find a medical professional who hates DSS enough to not report if your child has been hurt.
Solve Half of Your Snitch Problem
With This One Action
The other thing you MUST do is get your children out of the government (public) school. It is the major pipeline from DSS to your child. DSS takes children right out of school when they can coerce them into making "disclosures", and they don't come home that day. Sometimes DSS doesn't even tell the parents, and when mom comes to pick up the child at the bus stop, there is no child, and no one knows why. Needless to say, the parents are frantic, until they finally figure out what happened.
If you send your kids to a government school, you are sending them to your enemy to be educated. They will be taught to hate you and your values, and to sell you out. Get them out, before it's too late. This is the principle of "staying under the radar", which we review in detail in the "Fight Back" section.
Dirty Trick No. Ten
The More They Take, the More They Make
A recent federal law actually establishes adoption quotas for each state, with bonuses for each child adopted out, and even more money for every child adopted exceeding the quota. ‘Special needs' children earn even more, both during the ‘lease' period and at the final ‘sale'. A researcher in one state found that a severely needy child can earn its masters up to $250,000 a year in government money. We are still awaiting the figures for the Commonwealth, but the state budget for the DSS alone is over half a billion dollars, not including the money for lots of outside contractors and medical care.
If They Can Keep the Children Long Enough,
They Must Be Adopted
Keeping the children for a year is important, because, under a new law, they must adopt them out after 15 months!. So, if DSS can keep your children a little over a year, they can sell them for some significant cash. They will drag out the case as long as possible to manipulate this outcome. Yes, they will literally SELL your children because they themselves have kept them too long. You should see, as I have, the DSS agents having warm fuzzies over this, while the parents bitterly weep.
If you finally manage to get your case to trial, that is the first time you or your lawyer will have to tell your story to a judge. However, the fact that DSS has kept your children for a year can actually be used against you at the trial! The DSS will argue that it would traumatize the children to take them from their foster home, because they have now bonded with the foster parents. In their warped view, it would traumatize them to send them back to the parents, even though it didn't bother them to rip your baby out of your arms a year before.
actually makes bonding with the foster parents a basis for terminating parental rights. They take the children, delay the trial, and then use that as a reason why they need to keep them.
Dirty Trick No. Eleven
The DSS will try to get you to sign a "service plan" that will incriminate you, and help them get information to make their case against you.
Service Plans - "Sign Ze Papers, Or Else"
After the DSS takes your child, snoops around your house, and gets you to incriminate yourself, you are then ready for one of their next dirty tricks - the so-called "Service Plan".
This 7 to 10 page document is a cut-and-paste monstrosity that serves the purposes of the DSS: That is, to get you to give evidence against yourself, and to remold you into embracing big brother through therapy and re-education. It keeps you occupied with the hope that you will get your children back, while it dampens your anger against the nice folks who kidnapped them.
Don't sign it, unless your lawyer advises you to do so. If you sign it, you are admitting to your ‘crimes' (sometimes literally), committing yourself to therapy, and possibly ensuring that you will never see your kids again. The DSS agent will exert much pressure to have you sign this plan. Don't do it, despite their threats that not cooperating will make it worse for you, and prolong getting your kids back.
There are many other good reasons to not sign their plan. For example, many plans require attendance at a batterers program. If you go to such a program, you are given two bad options: 1) Admit you are a batterer, and then you will not get your kids back; Or 2) Deny you are a batterer, then you are a "batterer in denial", and you will not get your kids back. Either way, you lose.
Every service plan requires therapy, the sacred DSS sacrament, and it must be from a therapist of their choice, so that DSS can have access to all the information to help them make their case against you. Women are often sentenced to attend group victim therapy, where everyone is supposed to sit around and whine about their victimhood, and affirm everyone else's. No one is allowed to get past her victimhood, or there would be no need for them. Statements made at these victim groups are immediately reported to the secret police at DSS.
The best tactic to finesse DSS pressure to sign their service plan, is to tell them that you must show it to your lawyer, and can't sign it without his approval. This can create substantial delay. Then, actually do as many of the activities required by the plan, as possible, without telling them you are doing so. Get your own therapist who hates DSS, and get a psychological evaluation, and a glowing report about your therapy sessions. Go to a parenting class. Get urine screens, if that is on it. Do whatever activities on the plan that will not cause either a report to be made to DSS, or cause a bad result later.
Then, when you go to court for a hearing, and the DSS says you will not cooperate, you can pull out all the reports and evidence that shows that you did everything they required, and aren't they going to be embarrassed!
If DSS takes your children, they will keep them a year, and try to adopt them out - They earn up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year per child taken, and keep a lot of cronies in work.
Follow the Money -
There's Gold in Them Thar' Kids
If DSS has stolen your children, you are probably tormented, thinking, "Why? Why?", anguishing day after sleepless night over why this has all happened. As with many things in life, when there seems to be no rational basis for what has happened - follow the money.
In this case, the DSS can make a ton of money by ‘leasing' out your child to a foster home for a year, and then ‘selling' (adopting out) the child at the end of the ‘lease'. While the child is in their captivity, they can leverage lots of state and federal cash from numerous programs. If DSS can get you to incriminate yourself, or manipulate your child into making false disclosures, they can get a court to terminate your parental rights, and then adopt the child out, for more big bucks.The DSS will try to get your child to make ‘disclosures' about you, using manipulation, coercion, and fear.
Dirty Trick No. Six -The DSS will try to make sure you get a lawyer who will work with them, not against them.
Dirty Trick No. Seven -After DSS takes your children, the court must give you a hearing within 72 hours. They rarely do. At the hearing, DSS will rarely meet the legal standard for keeping custody of your children, but will do so anyway.
Dirty Trick No. Eight -The DSS agent will try to get into your home to do an assessment, but will use the evidence gathered there against you to take your children.
Dirty Trick No. Nine -The DSS has a network of "mandated reporters" everywhere your child is, to snitch on you. All helping professionals are required to report you to DSS if they suspect abuse; The people you think will help you will now betray you.
Dirty Trick No. Ten -If DSS takes your children, they will keep them a year, and try to adopt them out - They earn up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year per child taken, and keep a lot of cronies in work.
Dirty Trick No. Eleven -The DSS will try to get you to sign a "service plan" that will incriminate you, and help them get information to make their case against you.
Dirty Trick No. Twelve -The DSS will withhold key records that you need to make your case, even though they are required by law to give them to you.
Dirty Trick No. Thirteen -The DSS allows you to challenge their findings of abuse - But their own agents do the review, and call it a "Fair Hearing".
Dirty Trick No. Fourteen -The DSS will rarely let you visit your children, and will not let you show affection when you do.
Dirty Trick No. Fifteen -Although the law requires the DSS to place your children with relatives, if available, they will try to stop it.
Dirty Trick No. Sixteen -The DSS will keep you from any legal challenge to their custody of your children for a year or more.
Dirty Trick No. Seventeen -If the DSS can't get you for abuse or neglect, it will get you for not stopping abuse and neglect by your partner i.e., "Safety issues".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
Dirty Trick No. OneThe DSS will pretend to help you, when they are really gathering evidence to take your children. It's a new police state out there.
They Want Your Kids
The first DSS dirty trick is making you think they would NEVER use dirty tricks to take your children. Beneath the nice exterior of your friendly DSS agent is a person whose job is to take children - your children. DSS takes children from about 25% of the families for which they provide services, and that percentage is on the increase.
They Only Want to "Help" You
DSS is there to help you, right? Wrong. Former Speaker of the House Jim Wright, a Texan, was a master at "helping" his opponents. He would say, when he was trying to twist the arms of his colleagues, "Ah only want to Hep yew." When he was "heppin' yew", that's when you had to be the most careful. It is the same with the DSS.
Some DSS agents want to help families, and some don't. However, the system itself rarely does. Most DSS agents don't know or respect the restrictions in the law against taking children, and no one holds them accountable. Even judges cannot reign them in. So they do as they please, not what the law allows or requires. They have managed to form their own secret police, just like in Communist countries.
Many people ask the DSS for "voluntary services", only to find out too late that asking for help brings the whole DSS down on them. That is literally asking to have your children taken.
The Law Requires Them to Try to Unite Families
The law says that DSS must try to unite families, not destroy them. Example: Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 119, Section 1 says: "It is hereby declared to be the policy of this Commonwealth to direct its efforts, first, to the strengthening and encouragement of family life for the protection and care of children . . ." They talk about help, and stabilizing intact families, and therapy, but it's all a cruel lie. They really want to take your kids. So, their first dirty trick is to say they want to help you. Don't fall for it. They will offer "services", and home visits, and nice chats about your life and the bad things your spouse did. Don't do it. Shut up. They do not want to help you. Be pleasant, but firm. As explained in the next section, if you talk, or accept their ‘services', you may never see your children again..
Emma & I - The Dog
~The Dog~
The Dog’s discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another’s motives. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they’ll stress their partner to the max! in any forum, this sign is happiest when able to be quite physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will always be constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogs need to work on controlling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.
Chinese Astrology
1970 & 2006
In the west, the dog is man’s best friend, but in Chinese astrology this sign is a little more unpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes of ethics. However the sign has trouble trusting others. It’s generally quite trustworthy itself- except for the occasional “ little white lie “ the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dog makes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener. The sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog’s mantra seems to be, live right, look out for the little people and fight for injustice when ever possible. Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. They don’t go in for light social banter; instead, they go straight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. At these times the Dog’s narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this sign has trouble staying light and calm when an important issue is at state. This sign can also be very temperamental; mood swings characterize its emotional life and often the Dogs need to run off to be alone in order to recuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this sign’s load of irrational fears that turn into niggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive sign needs to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as a foundation, Dogs can be judgmental and course.The Dog’s discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another’s motives.

Tiger or the Horse.Samanthia - The Ox
~The Ox~
The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can’t be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm façade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don’t always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.
Out in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don’t care to be pushed, especially since they think they’re the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.
A good lesson for mighty Ox is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they’ll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.

The Ox of Chinese astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up.

Snake or the Rooster.Ashleigh - The Pig
~The Pig~
A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this sign’s allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.
Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking long bubble baths or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there’s more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the west, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking, and otherwise). This sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn’t consider itself superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their lives happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.

Rabbit or the Goat.Michelle - The Rooster
~The Rooster~
Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearances. Primping and posing for the Rooster can go on forever! Being noticed and admired is an aphrodisiac for Rooster, they can go along time on a few kind words. Roosters also adore being out on the town, especially if they’re in the company of adoring friends. The Rooster will also be the best dressed one of the bunch-- style counts with this sign, regardless of the cost.
Roosters also expect to be in control of their surroundings, including whoever happens to be in those surroundings. Roosters keep an impeccably neat house and expect their lovers, housemates and family members to maintain the same high standards of dress and conduct as they do. This can cause problems with other, more relaxed types who just want to be accepted as is. The Rooster needs the right partner, one who understands this sign’s basically conservative nature. With the right person, the Rooster can be the most loyal, trusting and supportive mate around, one who bends over backwards to please its loved ones. Some signs may just end up feeling hen-pecked, however.
Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their good looks. Their excellent people skills and sharp minds are qualities that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face. This sign would also do well to learn to adopt the philosophy of “live and let live”; perhaps an appeal to the Rooster’s logic-- that it’s inefficient to waste time nagging others-- will help this sign learn to let others be whomever and however they are.

The Rooster is the strutting peacock of the Chinese astrology! These quick thinkers are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observant. It’s hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic, but that’s not generally the case; instead, this sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and accountants, to name a few of this sign’s possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others’ honesty in kind.Roosters aren’t shifty or cagey and have no interest in hiding behind a façade. They are the proverbial open book, telling the truth and keeping their word. If you show your hand, the Rooster will respect you for it. This kind of trusting behavior can tempt tricksters to pull a fast one on the Rooster, but that would be a bad move! Remember, this sign doesn’t indulge in flights of fancy and keeps eyes wide open at all times.The most compatible match for a Rooster is the Ox or the SnakeRoosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearances.

no one has the power to decide where your future lies except you
no one has the power to take decisions except you
people may be laughing at you..
... they may be giving you lots of lectures on how your life should be
just remember one thing.....
thats their part of truth...i have got my own
because I only know where I stand today
which situations i have come from.....
how it felt when you were just alone...

Bunny My Honey
Bunny My Honey
Anita Jeram
Mommy Rabbit had a baby.
His name was Bunny.
He looked just like his mommy,
only smaller.
His name was Bunny.
He looked just like his mommy,
only smaller.
He had long ears,
A twitchy nose, and great big feet.
"Bunny, my Honey,"
Mommy Rabbit liked to call him.
Mommy Rabbit showed Bunny how to
Do special rabbity things,
Like running and hopping,
Digging and twitching his nose,
and thumping his great big feet.
Sometimes Bunny player with his best friends,
Little Duckling and Miss Mouse.
They played quack-quicky games,
squeaky games and thump-thump-thumpy games.
They sang,
We're the little Honeys.
A little Honey is sweet.
Quack quack, squeak squeak,
Thump your great big feet!
If a game ever ended in tears,
as game sometimes do,
Mommy Rabbit made it better.
"Don't cry, my little Honeys,"
Mommy Rabbit said, "I'm right here."
But one day bunny got lost.
Oh, how could such a bad thing happen?
Perhaps it was a game that went wrong.
Perhaps Bunny ran too far on his own.
But there he was,
just one lost Bunny.
The more Bunny looked for
his friends and his mommy
the more lost
and the more lost
and the more lost he became.
Bunny started to cry.
"Mommy, Mommy,
I want my mommy!
Mommy, Mommy,
I want my Mommy!"
"Bunny, my Honey!"
What was that?
"Bunny, my Honey!
Bunny, my Honey!"
"Bunny, my Honey!"
"MOMMY!"
Mommy Rabbit picked Bunny
up and cuddled him.
She stroked hid long ears.
She put her twitchy nose.
She kissed his great big feet.
Bunny's ears and nose
And feet felt warm all over.
up and cuddled him.
She stroked hid long ears.
She put her twitchy nose.
She kissed his great big feet.
Bunny's ears and nose
And feet felt warm all over.
"I love you, Mommy,"
Bunny whispered.
"I love you, Bunny, my Honey,"
Bunny's mommy
whispered back
"and I love my other
little Honeys, too."
On the way home, Bunny and
Miss Mouse and Little Duckling
Sang their song.
We're the little Honeys.
A little Honey is sweet.
Quack quack, squeak squeak,
Thump your great big feet!
And Bunny was a happy rabbit.

Infective endocarditis & Petit mal seizures (Info for Michelle)
Michelle,
Dr. Bailey instructed that you were to be on antibiotics before and dental work because of the damage that the VSD did to your heart. The hole was 4mm when it was closed. You were so mad at me for the surgery. That was when the found out that you were also having Petit mal seizures. You were placed on medication for awhile. Your Grandma on your father's side died in a car accident while having one. Below is information on both conditions. I love you sweetheart.
People with some types of heart defects, including VSD, are at greater risk in their lifetime of developing infective endocarditis, an infection of the inner surface of the heart caused by bacteria in the bloodstream. Bacteria are always present in our mouths, and small amounts are introduced into the bloodstream when we chew food and brush our teeth. The best way to protect the heart from this problem is careful attention to dental hygiene to reduce the bacteria count in the mouth, teeth, and gums. This includes brushing and flossing daily, and routine dental cleanings.
Teens who have a heart defect should avoid getting body piercings, since piercing increases the possibility that bacteria can get into the bloodstream, infect the heart, and damage heart valves. If you're considering a piercing and you have a heart defect, talk to your doctor first.
Petit mal seizures occur most commonly in people under age 20, usually in children ages 6 to 12.
Most petit mal seizures last only a few seconds. Most commonly they involve staring episodes or "absence spells." The episodes may:
During the seizure, the person may:
