(Reference from blog: http://fightcps.com/2007/11/17/oregon-foster-parents-should-not-be-allowed-to-adopt/ )
I am a former foster parent because in order to adopt I was forced to be and that is a way of life in Oregon and as I have posted before, as long as DHS can keep the parents who have been victims of DHS wrongly targeted at the throats of the foster parents, they are playing right into the hands of DHS. Children will be removed from homes and some should be. To deny that fact reflects an attitude of unawareness that is really scary. A child found playing in their parents meth lab for example, or a toddler found out in traffic while the stoned parent slept on the couch should be removed and protected. What happens after that within DHS is the real crime you have to worry about. Those of you with children in custody already know that.

I have spoken to Neil (whose blog this is I believe) previously about this intolerable situation and know how strongly he believes in this cause. I am glad he is there.

The real enemy here is the corrupt agency, DHS/CPS, and the other corrupt departments and agencies that are making money off of your children.

You, as a parent, are forced to undergo psych evaluations at the hands of people who are under contract with DHS to provide psychological services. Yet many of those same “Mental Health Workers” have no license of any kind. They cannot legally trim your dog’s fur nor work on your nails. One such pseudo psychologist in Klamath Falls, OR, where the poster below, Chrystal Shuggars lives, has 22 contracts with DHS, some permitting payment, “Not to exceed $4,000 per day.” Compare that to the $25,000 per year our state senators earn. That man has no license of any kind yet has been the main person DHS refers parents to for evaluation and treatment. If you refuse to be treated by that DHS contracted, non-qualified pseudo psychologist, that is used against you in court. The other “psychologist” used by DHS in Klamath Falls until she was recently investigated, again, by the state, claimed over and over in court records to be a “psychologist Resident” working under a licensed psychologist in another city. The problem was that psychologist said she did not work with him during the time she claimed she did. She was charged with practicing psychology without a license and she even stipulated to that fact and was fined, Yet, DHS kept on using her anyway and she testified in court cases and never mentioned what she was facing at the hands of Board of Psychologist Examiners at the very time she was testifying. Ah, the ethics of DHS/CPS and those who are dependent on DHS for their livelihood! Then look at the fact that during one hearing a judge made the statement that no Judge in that county had ruled against DHS or for the parents in any Termination of Parental Rights Case or permanent guardianship trial, for over ten years. It’s actually in over thirteen years. Not once. Add to that the fact that the Indigent Defenders Service or court appointed lawyers in that county haven’t won a case involving termination or permanent guardianship in those same thirteen years, yet they receive the contract every two years for over 5.2 million dollars. A recent audit, called because of complaints, found a serious shortage of money that couldn’t be explained. That shortage, rumored to be over $40,000 per month is being investigated currently. Things are so bad in Oregon with DHS using non-licensed psychs that in response to an inquiry by the former head of the Board of Psychologist Examiners, Martin Petioni, the office of the Attorney General issued a legal opinion on just how illegal it was for DHS to use the “unlicensed psychologists” DHS was using. This was and is so bad that as a parent even if you can afford your own independent psychologist, you are denied permission to use anyone other the DHS contracted psychologists wannabes. You can read the Attorney Generals legal opinion on this subject at http://www.doj.state.or.us/agoffice/agopinions/op2006-1.pdf

Before you get too excited about this understand that the very powerful DHS lobby, led by a Ms. Patti O’Sulivan, I believe her name is, and with the help of State Senator Mones- Anderson and a few others actually passed into law, this year, a revision in the ORS’ which now allows DHS to use virtually any quack they choose, licensed or not, under contract with DHS and totally dependent on DHS for their livelihood to evaluate and treat you for your obvious mental condition of not liking DHS or the way they operate. Sort of reminds me of the Soviet Union. It was Nikita Khrushchev, former leader of the Soviet Union who said, “There are no dissidents in the Soviet Union, there are only mentally ill people.” Are you aware that it is DHS, The Courts and the District Attorney’s Office that recommend to which consortia of attorneys the 2.6 million dollar contract per year to defend parents against DHS, goes to? That means both DHS and the District Attorney get to select the attorneys they will be facing in court for the next two years and you were wondering how any group of attorneys could lose every termination case they took? Silly you.

To see the Office of Public Defenders results of their investigation back in 2005 into the public defenders in Klamath County, go here.

Pay particular attention to page 16 and on in that report on Klamath County.

Clearly these lawyers who often meet with their clients only, less than five minutes before representing them in matters that will result in that parent losing their children, at least in Klamath County and elsewhere in Oregon are in my opinion at the bottom of the barrel of attorneys in Oregon and elsewhere. How else could a lawyer do little to nothing and still make over a hundred thousand a year working a court appointed attorney who secretly does whatever DHS tells them to do?

This gives rise to the biggest question of all. How is it that anybody accused of stealing something worth $250 has an absolute right to a trial in front of a jury, BUT, if the state is attempting to terminate your rights as a parent and if successful, that means you will never see them again, is set up where you have no right to a trial by jury? That is really nuts. Having jury trials would eliminate stupid and revealing statements by judges, such as we have documented, where a female judge in Klamath Falls has said to DHS workers on the stand, facing opposing council, “If their questions make you uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer them.” Or judge who has had every one, three in total, of her closest nieces hired right after obtaining their 4 year degree, by DHS in Klamath County and that naughty judge fails to let those appearing in front of her on DHS matters, about her nieces all working for DHS. To tell those appearing front of her would give those parent grounds for recuing or removing that judge from being able to hear their case. How about a judge that spoke to the foster mother about the case against the bio parents via letters and later met and talked to the local state senator and his wife about that same case involving termination of a father’s Parental Rights and when the father tried to bring up that forbidden communications, ex-parte communications, in motions, that same judge refused to even allow the proof to be brought into his courtroom? That really happened. Another judge, who was rumored to have had had an one night affair with a man who has a current case in front of her, at first denied that she was receiving and writing letters to that man while he was in prison and had a case pending in front of her. Later, after her letters to the man, while he was in prison, were produced in court, she admitted to it, writing letters to him, not the other part, of course, but claimed it was was no big deal and still refused to take herself off of the case.

Here’s something weird, if you live in Klamath County and have been to court there against DHS, have you noticed how almost every one of the DHS female employees have the exact same hair style as the Program manager there? They virtually all wear their hair in a “Bob.” It is very strange, like Children of the Corn or something!

We have found transcripts with thousands of major errors in them. The transcripts don’t match the audio tapes of the trial. All of the errors favor DHS and their attorney, the Attorney General’s Office of the state of Oregon. There are also hundreds of pages of certified transcripts that have disappeared and were never provided to the Court of Appeals by any of the parents last five attorneys, nor the Attorney General’s Office that represents DHS, despite the appeals court having specifically asked for those reports.

I am currently making a film that deals with the number of children who are murdered while in DHS/CPS custody and guardianship. Most of the principle photography is finished and we are at the end of the editing process for the promotional film about the fulll length film that will follow. This film focuses on the murders of child that occur AFTER CPS has taken the children from their parents, supposedly investigated the placement home and the people where they are going to put the kids and run background checks on those foster care providers. Then, despite warnings of abuse from family members and neighbors, CPS does little to really investigate their placements in this country and over 1,000 children per year wind up abused, raped, tortured and ultimately murdered. That is three a day. Every day this insanity continues, three more innocent children will be killed while in DHS/CPS guardianship, in homes where DHS/CPS placed them. No parent could have a record like DHS’ or they would be in prison and sterilized. Over 1,000 children murdered while in DHS custody each year in the USA. That is an equal number of child deaths to drowning in swimming pools each year, which is one of the highest areas of fatalities for children in this county. If you or someone you know has had a child that died while in DHS/CPS custody, I invite you to contact me as soon as possible so we can discuss if you want that story out for others in America to know about. It is a way to effect change in what has to be the most insane area of government activity that exists today. These are little 4,5 and 6 year old children. They need your help. We all need your help through your story. We are NOT looking for any donations at all, nor are we asking you to march in front of a bunch of uncaring legislators and a governor who is up to his eyeballs in all of this.

I know Chrytal Shuggars, who posted on this blog. I helped investigate her case and what she wrote is true, but there is a lot more to her story. She appears in the film, as does the former caseworker who worked on her case until she was fired for supposedly blowing the whistle on DHS in Klamath Falls. The film being made currently, contains detailed interviews with parents whose children were tortured and murdered while in foster care or after DHS put the child back with the biological parent, but still under DHS/CPS guardianship, despite clear warnings that the child was in danger and those kids wound up murdered. We have doctors, forensic experts, former caseworkers and others appearing in that film, along with court transcripts and the transcriptionist and audio recordings of those court proceedings. Some of those offer shocking proof of just how corrupt the judicial system is at least in Klamath County. This subject of this film has been being investigated for over two years and is very well documented. For support, the film has some major celebrities from the entertainment world who have thrown their generous support behind the exposure of what really goes on in our courts and within DHS/CPS. That full length film will be released in the winter of 2009 - 2010 and a short film promoting that film is due for release in the next month. August 2009. Copies of the promotional film will be made available for downloading for free and we encourage you to send a copy to your state senator or representative, newspapers, other reporters and web sites. No profit is being made from the film and all proceeds will go into a non profit foundation set up by the celebrities who are appearing in the film. We are not, after all, money motivated as DHS/CPS is motivated.

Check this site and others to find out the exact day the promotional film will be released and for the proper link. . Again, there is no charge of any kind for downloading that short promotional film.
