• Placement of Children With Relatives: Summary of State Laws- (2008 PDF File) In order for States to receive Federal payments for foster care and adoption assistance, Federal law requires that they "consider giving preference to an adult relative over a non related caregiver when determining placement for a child, provided that the relative caregiver meets all relevant State child protection standards."

• "Let My Children Go"- References- New index (03/2010) of references from Let My Children Go>> "It is usually a big surprise when you realize a dangerous situation of this magnitude here in the United States of America. Many children are being taken from their parents without proper cause or due process."

• Anti-Government Guide Book - This guide was developed under a grant. Award No. SJI- 96-02B-B-159, "The Rise of Common Law Courts in the United States: An Examination of the Movement, The Potential Impact on the Judiciary, and How the States Could Respond," from the State Justice Institute. The points of view expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the State Justice Institute.

• The Future of Children -is a collaboration of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and the Brookings Institution.  The mission of The Future of Children is to translate the best social science research into information that is useful to policymakers, practitioners, grant-makers, advocates, the media, and students of public policy.  Since The Future of Children aims to reach a wide audience with the best objective research possible, the articles contained in the journals are literature reviews that provide a balanced view of the literature and evidence, review both basic and "policy-relevant" research to highlight what we know as well as what works, and avoid using overly technical language. 

  • One Article of Interest-Rethinking the Paradigm for Child Protection  http://www.princeton.edu/futureofchildren/publications/journals/article/index.xml?journalid=51&articleid=270  

• Ombudsman contacts State by State-  According to the National webpage "Ombudsman offices have been established in a variety of state, municipal, county, local, federal, academic organizations and businesses.  As an independent, impartial and confidential complaint handler, an ombudsman serves as an alternative means of dispute resolution.  The U.S. Ombudsman Association describes an ombudsman as "a public official appointed by the legislature to receive and investigate citizen complaints against administrative acts of government."
  However, I would check with others who may have used this service since many offices have really not been a help.

• Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children- Here is an introduction to a site maintained by AARP on Facts Sheets that will be updated at least annually. Multi-Generational Families are increasing each year.

• National Child Abuse & Resources Center- We can refer persons accused of child abuse to lawyers skilled in child abuse cases. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to educating professionals and the falsely accused on factual, scientific data regarding child abuse allegations. To that end, we host one of the largest conferences on the topic of false child abuse allegations every 12 to 24  months.

to file fraud charges against CPS for the misuse of Federal Funding.

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 11:32 PM

Below is the link to file fraud charges against CPS in your state.  I just filed one that DCF in Connecticut misuses and abuses federal funding for the following reason.  DCF is not suppose to discriminate against the disabled right.  Well they in fact use federal funding to deny accommodations and punish parents for their perceived disability by removing said child and then terminating the parents right solely based on their disability.  They use federal funding to punish the disabled, they do not use it to accommodate them.

 

If child protection is misusing federal funding under Title IV-E or some other funding stream that comes out of SS, then file a complaint.  You should probably indicate that you want CPS to be denied funding as a result of their fraud and misuse of federal funding.
