I have yet to recover from the tramatic events of the last seven years, much of which was caused by mistakes I made and actions I should have taken or prevented. The truth of the matter is that by the time I decided to fight against anything or anyone besides myself, I thougt it was too late to do anything about it. Or maybe, I didn’t have the fight in me.
Since the days of what almost caused my mental breakdown, is now my life goal, I feel it necessary to share. The laws by which the department of human services has to be trained and in turn train the department of children,youth,and families has been completely misunderstood. Allow me elaborate the Socoial Securit Act involving child safety and helping families provide that to them.
It is clear, in plain English, and formatted so as not to be confused or unfollowed. The Code of Federal Regulations, a permanent sourse of Federal regulations, Title IV of the Social Security Act Grant to States for Aid and Services to Needy Families with Children and for Child-Welfare Services Part B- Child and Family Services
Sec. 421. Purpose: To promote State flexibility in the development and expansion of a coordinated child and family services program that utilizes community-based agencies and ensures all children are raised in safe, loving families by–
- protecting and promoting the welfare of all children
- preventing the neglect, abuse, or exploiting of children
- supporting at-risk families, where appropriate, to remain safely with their familles or return to their families in a timely manner
- promoting the safety, permanence, and well-being of children in foster care and adoptive families and
- providing training, professional development and support to ensure a well-being qualified child welfare workforce.
- How many times has the department of human services reminded the department of children, youth, and families of the very literal law according to when dealing with children, youth, and their families?
- If the departments based their findings on the simple rules thet need to apply for the well-being , would there be so many youth in the foster system?
- What makes the department people seem to fear? They don’t talk about it or they know nothing about how the system works.
- If the department came knocking on your door, would you know what to do?
These questions are what my soul is searching now. The core my being has been yearning to understand what I don’t understand. It becomes an obsession almost to seek and find. Not just what I want to know, but what everyone SHOULD know.
When I had my daughter, in French Camp, California, two social workers sat in traffic from San Francisco, CA just to pick her up. Exactly 20 minutes before they arrived, I happened to stumble upon a clause that stopped them from “kidnapping” her. First let explain what happened when they arrived.
I walked into the visiting room, sat down, and asked the social worker on my ass, I mean, case what was the deal. He tells me that they were to pick up my daughter. I told him that I already spoke to my mother, had he spoke to my brother. He says to me that my brother didn’t want to her. Then he adds that my parents are too old to take care of a child let alone a baby. After turning to talk to his collegue, he turns back to me and says they already had a foster family for her.
I, raising my voice, tell him that he needs to provide me with names, addresses, phones numbers of recidency and of where they work. He tells me to calm down. I tell him I was calm because “You are not going to fuck me over like you did with my other two children.” My mother and/ or my brother is coming to pick her up because, “You don’t have a court date.” His collegue get’s up off his chair, tried to say something hurtful, proceeds towards the door, as it slams against the wall. I ask the worker, “What’s wrong with him?”
Don’t know what he says and acts concerned about me, “What are you going to do when they kick you out of here?” I said excuse me. He stutters. I show him the hospital band the social worker at the French Camp Hospital gave me that allowed me to go in and out of the nursery until my brother and mother went to pick her up. He looks at me, as if it would change my mind, to remind me of the drive he just made in traffic. Aww. I’m sorry. No, I am not. Now he was going to have driving back in traffic with no baby.
The fact that I say kidnapping is because he did not have a court offer signed by a judge to pick her up. When my brother and my mother showed up, they did. They had no right to go up there without that court order and because they didn’t, it would have been considered kidnapping had tbey taken her. But the hospital would not had let that happen.
However, that goes for any child, at any age, in any facility: hospital, school, library including their home. Without the court order signed by a judge and stamped by the clerk, no one can take your chil(ren) anywhere at anytime from any place. Under no circumstances. If there is clear evidence of abuse, black eye, broken or twisted bones, the child admits to any kind of abuse including sexual then maybe possible. AND a police officer must be present because you are being charged with a crime such child abuse, neglect, malnutritient, etc… Hence, the court order which leads to your arrest.
It can’t get more clearer than that. To find the Social Security Act and it’s contents the website is ssa.gov Title IV-B and Title IV-E.
You are not alone. There are others that fell victims to the illegalities and corruptive ways child protective services’ ignorances. They. broken up families, broken people down, all for breaking the rules. Reach out. Do not allow it to consume you. Do not allow then to win. Stand up and stand up proud for you children and for yourself as a parent. There are no perfect parents so we are all imperfect, who is anyone to tell us different?
