CPS & Outcomes For Children: Fact vs. Fiction

CPS was established in 1973 in response to "an epidemic of child abuse." The problem with this legislation is that it is nothing more than a smokescreen. There is, nor has there ever been any epidemic of child abuse in the United States... so let's call a spade a spade. CPS was established to give the government control over families, not to protect children- that historically has been the job of families. The original legislation was pushed by activist lobbying groups such as the Children's Defense Fund and the National Education Association (the teachers union) at the behest of the United Nations- whose goal is hegemony over all the citizens of the world. The philosophy that drives legislation is statism... the belief that the citizen is property of the state, and it goes by many names.

Whether you call it statism, Socialism, Communism, Fascism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, or any other of a hundred other names is irrelevant- the outcome is always identical... In any dispute between the state and the individual, "compelling state interest" will ALWAYS supercede the interest of the individual. When it comes to children, the right of the parent as the ultimate authority over the child is inevitably subverted by the state. In essence, it is the state that is responsible for parenting rather than the family. How do we know this?

The premise given for the establishment of Child Protective Services is found in the name- child protection. However, the agencies tasked with this obligation not only fail to do so, they destroy families for what, to any rational adult, would seem to be ridiculous reasons. In lieu of the child abuse epidemic cited by the founders of social services, neglect was added to the mix. Neglect is a very subjective matter... in the case of CPS removing children from loving, and well kept homes, a couple of dirty dishes in the sink can constitute neglect. In other words, neglect is in the eye of the beholder and if the agenda of the beholder is to remove children, then they will invent neglect where none exists.

Let's go back a bit. If there is no epidemic of child abuse, there is no need for CPS... after all, abuse- that is; violence, sexual abuse, or any other forms of genuine abuse, are law enforcement issues and can be handled by a call to local police. However, CPS has to justify their existence... it's axiomatic that once a government agency is established they don't just go away. The more children that are removed from their homes, the more the need for CPS and naturally the bigger their budget. The unfortunate victims of this are, it goes without saying, families and more particularly, the children themselves. Factor into this mix the legislation of 1997 where the federal Dept. of Health and Human Services pays bonuses to the states for each child removed... the Dash For Cash is on!

Now here is the outcome, as unfortunate as it is, that I want to focus on- adoption. If, as they claim, CPS was truly interested in ensuring the best possible outcome for children, wouldn't they prefer to see children placed in the best possible environment rather than in foster care (which we all know is a total disaster)? This is simply not the case... In spite of the fact that there are a myriad of faith-based adoption agencies that would place children in loving environments that would provide them with a strong moral foundation, they prefer to place them with state sanctioned agencies (who adopt out to gays, lesbians and other deviants), or leave them in the abysmal foster care system. Reintegration back into families should always be of paramount importance... however, with the adoption bonuses, this rarely happens. Although adoption should only be used as a last resort, lamentably it is not... and the children are the losers.

There is in fact, a war going on against faith-based adoption services. According to an article in the Daily Signal, family attorney Autumn Leva, Vice President of the Family Policy Alliance, says: "One of their latest strategies is an attempt to shut down faith-based adoption agencies. The result is indeed a dangerous numbers game, but the victims ultimately will be the 100,000 children waiting to be adopted and the birth moms looking for a placement agency to meet their needs." As I wrote, faith-based agencies attempt to place children with families with a married mother and father- a stable home environment. The opponents " believe these agencies shouldn’t be permitted to operate according to their faith. Instead, they should place children with same-sex couples or even transgender individuals—regardless of what may be best for the child, the birth mother’s wishes, or the agency’s religious beliefs.

So, they are attempting to pass laws or regulations in the states that would force faith-based agencies to shut down or else violate their faith." I ask again, if CPS is truly operates in the best interest of children, why are they trying to push a political agenda instead of looking out for children? The answer is as simple as it is nefarious... The nuclear family is the biggest threat to the statist agenda. It's time to take a stand...
