Seven Social Workers Sold Millions in EBT Cards

This is some of the slimy stuff the CYS and other agency employees do to pad their incomes.  They also have their own blood labs, counseling agencies, Mental examiners... BEWARE!  Social workers are more likely to be criminals than good people just wanting to help you.

Losing Custody of YOUR CHILDREN Because of FALSE Neglect Charges by Social Workers

Proven fact that everyday hundreds of children end up in foster care because of FALSE charges made by social workers.  There is NO oversight in Children and Youth Services so all they have to do is make up a story take custody of your children and they own them.  They will make up more and more lies to keep them state owned.  It will be put upon you to fight the false charges (nearly impossible) and follow their list of rules, take all of their assigned classes, be drug tested, have your house and privacy invaded and your money grabbed as you fight so hard to prove them liars and get your children home safe.  Your children on the flip side are placed with strangers (sometimes abusive) and they begin to tell them you don't want them and you are bad people.  This is all in return for thousands of dollars they receive to take and KEEP your children.  They get an even bigger pay off if they can keep them for 15 months and terminate your rights so they can be adopted.  This is an ever growing disgusting child stealing ring started by Bill and Hillary Clinton.  News is Breaking now as to why they want your children.  Child trafficking to pedofiles like Bill Clinton and all of their rich friends.  They even have an island where these children are sent and kept for rich weirdos to fly to and have sex with.

Fostering for BIG Profit

When I decided to take on the role of a foster mom I did it to help and guide children that have lost their way.  During the time I fostered I learned quickly just how corrupt the whole system is.  It is now big industry thanks to Hillary Clinton and her huge incentives that agencies get for removing children from their homes.  Title VI funding is a nightmare.  It allows an employee from a child "protective" agency to enter your home or school and take children.  Once in the care of the state it becomes pure hell what parents must go through to get children and grandchildren back in their care. These agencies have no burden of proof and hearsay can easily become fact as there are no oversight committees or agencies to stop the corruption.  This ad is from the UK but this very thing is happening right here in the USA.

Hillary Clinton HATES CHILDREN!!

The money Hillary's government hands out to states and counties to steal your children. Incentives raise to $8000 if they can adopt a child out. Berks County is taking 40-50 children per month up 191% and not one person in government or law enforcement has tried or been able to stop the corruption. Berks county now depends on the millions they receive by taking children from good families. There is no oversight no protection for families.  Listen to her ad "No matter where they are born or to whom they are born."  She truly wants every child owned by government not family.  You can lose you child to the government for not vaccinating, false reporting, if you are in a car accident, if the baby is underweight at birth, if the child is truant from school, if they fall on the playground....it is a never ending list of reason to steal kids from good families.  Once they have your child they will work day and night to dig up anything they can on you.  They have used parking tickets passed due to keep children.  If after interviewing all your family, friends, exes they still can't find anything they will start creating false evidence of abuse or anything to twist and turn facts to keep that child.  They will present it to the judge and because she also reaps from the money train she will rule against you.  Once they make you jump threw hoops to try and get your child back they will have excuse after excuse until 15 months has passed and they terminate your rights and adopt your child out to strangers.  Hillary Clinton is 100% responsible for this system through Title VI-E funding and all the incentives $$$ and no proof of passage to kidjack children.  She don't care about children she cares about the money wheel she has created to destroy families and the lives of children by holding them hostage in the government system where most will end up homeless, in jail, drug addicts or commit suicide.  This is Hillary's America.  She knows how to run corrupt fund raising schemes at the expense of innocent people's lives.

Berks CYS Workers Being Fired Children Still NOT RETURNED HOME

Racheal Drobnick, Nicole Robinson, Kate Acker and Supervisor Shannon Rankin are no longer at Berks CYS falsifying records and lying to the judge.  Problem is MANY cases are still before the judge and the attorneys (John Fielding for one) and Berks CYS are refusing to correct the lies and false documents these caseworkers created.
Children are being adopted to strangers because Berks County is not forcing all cases reviewed when these liars were involved.  As usual there is nobody to turn to for help because this agency has no oversight.  It's a cash cow for the county raking in millions.  This week the District Atty was crying he needs more money because of all the thousands of cases in the agency.  When there is an increase of 191% in cases somebody with a brain must realize most of them are false.  But not in most states and counties like Berks because just for the asking the Federal Gov shells out more cash so they can keep stealing children and destroying families.
Weekly I get 5-10 calls  from desperate parents begging for help to get their children back.  Same old and tried bull crap doled out by the agency.  Child is taken for little to NO reason and then safety plans, drug tests, evals, classes......it goes on and on.  The agencies goal is to drag out the hoop jumping for 15 months when they terminate parental rights and adopt out children for even more incentives $$$$$.  Once a child is in their custody they start drugging the children and having counselors convince them that their parents no longer love them.  They refuse parental visits causing Parental Alienation.  Time and Time again same program different family.  It has to STOP!!!!
To date they are still holding hostage to children with a family inherited medical issue claiming the children were abused.  They WERE NOT!!!  Their parents love them very much and want them home.  Even thought Judge Ullman has been presented with overwhelming amount of evidence the judge refuses to return the children.
Children are being ripped from grandparents, family members and parents placed with strangers all for money.  This agency has no PROOF to hold these children hostage in the system but not one lawmaker or law enforcement person will come front and stop this outright kidjacking of our children.


Camron Michaels Death Still NO ARRESTS Berks County CYS Responsible for NOT PROTECTING HIM!!!

Berks County CYS was well aware that Camron was being abused in the foster home where he was placed but caseworker Kate Acker never turned in the reports.  Her supervisor, Shannon Rankin and Kate Acker are no longer employed at CYS.  Still no arrest has been made in the beating death of Camron.  Justice needs to be addressed for this poor soul.  Parents in most cases will protect their children above and beyond any foster home.  Foster homes have become cash cows for lazy criminals that don't want to work so they are given 1-10 foster children who often go unfed and uncared for and in some homes abuse mentally and physically is the norm.  This time foster daddy beat Camron to death. Why hasn't the Berks County District Atty acted on this crime.  All paper work is in all proof collected still no arrest.  
Camron's Story

SELINSGROVE — Camron Harold Michael, 2 years, 10 months and 2 days, of Selinsgrove, passed away on April 14, 2015, at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.

Parents Speak Out on Caseworkers

You Can Beat CYS and Lawyers like Shawn McMillan are PROVING it!!

Beating CPS, there is hope.

Southern California mother, Deanna Fogarty-Hardwick, filed a lawsuit against Child Protective Services (CPS). She claimed caseworkers had unjustly taken her children in February 2000. The children were ages 6 and 9 at the time. The accusation against her was that she was telling the children that their father was trying to take them away from her.
Because of this, the children were placed in the Orangewood Children’s Home. The children were kept there for a month, then transferred to afoster home for two months. Eventually they were placed in their father’s custody, and the mother had to endure the humiliation of supervised visits.
Another family destroyed!
But wait! The mother recovered from the injustice done to her enough to file a federal lawsuit based on violations of Constitutional law. With the help of an attorney, Shawn A. McMillan, they went after the Orange County (California) Department of Social Services and three caseworkers.
In the lawsuit the mother alleged the caseworkers intentionally misled the court, fabricated evidence against her, and hid exculpatory evidence. She also alleged that caseworkers withheld information from the judge regarding the emotional distress of the children, who wanted to be with their mother. Also alleged was that a supervisor in the agency refused Kinship Care rights to relatives without good cause, forcing the children to stay longer in foster care.
On March 23, 2007, after a seven-week civil trial, the jury found the Department of Social Services and caseworkers Marcie Vreeken and Helen Dwojak liable for violating the mother’s parental rights and violating the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Deanna Fogarty-Hardwick was awarded 4.9 million dollars. The jury also awarded her an additional $5,900 in punitive damages. The large settlement was intended to ‘send a message’ to Child Protective Services bureaucrats.
In a press release after the settlement the attorney gave this list of illegal practices of the caseworkers involved:
… detention of children without a finding of imminent danger or serious physical injury;
… interviewing children without a parent present;
… continuing detention after learning there was no basis to do so;
… using trickery and fabricated evidence;
… failing to adequately train employees regarding the Constitutional rightsof parents.
The attorney added:
“My client Deanna Fogarty-Hardwick, is satisfied by the Jury’s recognition of the harm that the defendants caused her. But, obviously, no amount of money can ever undo the damage inflicted upon Ms. Fogarty-Hardwick or her children. We expect the Jury‘s 4.9 million dollar verdict will cause the County of Orange and its Department of Social Services to implement procedures to prevent future abuses by County social workers and protect other families.”
My opinion: I consider this to be outrageously good news. More people should be filing charges against CPS, but they don’t, mainly because they have a hard time finding attorneys willing to represent them. The attorneys know that CPS maims families by splitting them up using trumped up, inaccurate, or fictitious accusations. But it seems most attorneys don’t have the guts to fight CPS. Perhaps it isn’t a politically correct move to sue this overly powerful agency, yet this is what needs to be done if we’re ever going to be able to stop caseworkers from unfairly decimating families.

House Committee Approves Long-Sought Family First Act

WASHINGTON — A bill that would give states more flexibility to use federal foster care funding to help families stay together cleared its first legislative hurdle on Wednesday.
The House Ways and Means Committee approved by voice vote the bipartisan Family First Prevention Services Act (HR 5456). The bill would allow states to use federal child welfare funding to pay for family services such as mental health, substance abuse and parenting programing to prevent children from entering foster care.
Under current federal law, most child welfare funding can only be used to reimburse states after children are placed in foster care.
“The bill focuses on addressing problems in the home by delivering parents much-needed support, rather than sending a child straight into foster care. Most of all, it helps ensure our children grow up in strong communities and stable homes,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, when the bill was unveiled days before the markup.
A bipartisan group of House and Senate lawmakers have been trying to reach a compromise on the prevention legislation for months, as the clock ticked on the year’s limited congressional calendar.
Lawmakers are expected to try to move the bill swiftly through the House and Senate, where Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Finance Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., are championing it.
The bill’s sponsors also have tied the importance of preventive services to the opioid and heroin problems in many parts of the country.
“The nation is in the grip of opioid and heroin crisis, which — according to states — is responsible for the recent spikes in the need for out-of-home foster care placement,” said Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., the lead House sponsor of the bill.
The bill has won the support of a broad range of children’s advocates but has encountered some skeptics who say it does not go far enough to address families’ problems with support, such as child care, housing and basic cash assistance.
The bill would allow states to use federal funding for prevention services for 12 months, and the services must be classified as “promising,” “supported,” or well-supported” by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare.
The bill also seeks to limit states’ use of non-family settings, such as group homes or congregate care facilities, for children who are removed from their homes,.
States would have to demonstrate regularly that a non-family setting was most appropriate for each individual child. In addition, the bill sets new standards for non-family settings in areas such as trauma-informed care, staff requirements, family participation and accreditation.
Several Democrats said at the markup that while they support the bill in principle, they disagree with its approach to funding.
The bill’s preventive service provisions do not take effect until Oct. 2019, which Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, said flies in the face of the idea that there is an out-of-home placement crisis fueled by opioid and heroin abuse.
“If there is an imminent danger, what does this bill do about it? It says we’re concerned about it and in three years we’ll act about it,” he said.
Some Democrats also said more money is needed to help states, not just a reshuffling of funding. The bill is funded largely by reducing “inappropriate” group home placements and reducing funding to states for adoption assistance, according to a committee summary.
“I think we could do better by these children,” Doggett said.
The bill also would:
  • update the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Program to allow states to support former foster youth up to age 23; and
  • reauthorize the Regional Partnership Grant program, which provides grants for evidence-based services that aim to prevent child abuse and neglect related to substance abuse.

Parents Right to Raise Their Children

Parents have a fundamental constitutional right to direct the care, control, and upbringing of their children, and this very much comes into consideration when parents are under CYS investigation. CYS caseworkers and employees seem to think that parents have no rights. A parent or parents being investigated for abuse or neglect are frequently treated as if they have less due process rights than a criminal in the court system. It is important for any decision where the government can have an impact on the relationship between a parent and a child for there to be the freedom of a robust discussion of the constitutional rights of parents as it relates to their children.
The U. S. Supreme Court has made it very clear that parents have constitutional rights related to their children.  People would be very concerned if a state official tried to silence or censor discussion about parental rights when making decision about CYS or accountability for the government. Hostility toward parents or the religious faith of parents by elected officials is a growing concern and the public deserves to hear more about this issue, not less.  I agree 100%

Although, as discussed above, the Eleventh Amendment limits official capacity claims against state officials to prospective injunctive relief, it does not affect damage claims against those officials in their individual capacity.1 In this section, we discuss when absolute and qualified immunity limits individual capacity suits against public officials.

8.2.B. Qualified Immunity: Executive Officials

Qualified immunity is an affirmative defense. Early cases required a public employee to establish both that he did not violate clearly established law and that he acted without malicious intent.83 Because proof of subjective good faith was incompatible with summary judgment, the Supreme Court modified the defense to shield public employees performing discretionary government functions “insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.”84 Apart from special needs and administrative search cases, the Court has cautioned against examination of subjective intent.85 Because public employees86 almost always perform discretionary functions,87qualified immunity really turns on two issues: (1) whether the action in question violated a constitutional right and (2) whether that action violated clearly established law.88 Although the former question may involve disputed facts, the latter is a question of law subject to early resolution. This involves a historical inquiry into whether the law was clearly established when the defendant acted. Reasoning similarly, the Court subsequently held in Groh v. Ramirez that a search warrant that failed to describe either the person or things to be seized was facially invalid under the Fourth Amendment Clarity is shown when "existing precedent must have placed the statutory or constitutional question beyond debate."109 8.2.B.2. The Reasonable Official and Scope of DiscretionThe question of whether a reasonable official should have believed that the conduct in question violated clearly established law is largely a function of whether the law in question was clearly established. In that sense, the determination of whether the official’s belief that his conduct was reasonable is redundant; it is reasonable whenever the law is not clearly established.110 The existence of reasonable grounds for the belief formed at the time of the action and in light of all the circumstances then present is what affords a basis for qualified immunity. an official who acts outside the scope of his discretionary authority and who violates the Constitution cannot assert qualified immunity even if his conduct did not violate then clearly established law.112 Given the Court’s expansive interpretation of qualified immunity, you should allege the facts that defeat qualified immunity in detail when suing a public official for damages. Advocates should refrain from suing officials for damages in the absence of evidentiary support that will allow a claim to overcome qualified immunity.

8.2.B.3. Qualified Immunity, Intentional Discrimination, and Retaliation

To avoid summary judgment on the merits of the underlying constitutional claim, the plaintiff must produce sufficient evidence, usually circumstantial, from which a reasonable jury can infer that the defendant intentionally discriminated or retaliated; without that evidence, the plaintiff cannot establish unconstitutional conduct.113 With no evidence of unconstitutional conduct, the defendant will prevail without reaching the question of qualified immunity. But if the plaintiff has sufficient evidence of unconstitutional motive to avoid summary judgment, qualified immunity generally will not benefit a defendant because the constitutional prohibition against intentional discrimination or retaliation has long been clearly established law.114 http://federalpracticemanual.org/no...SOCIAL WORKER IMMUNITY/ NOT ENTITLED TO IMMUNITY42 U.S.C. sections 1983, 1985, 1986
  1. In these federal circuits, social workers are absolutely immune from suit under federal law for actions in preparing for, initiating, and prosecuting dependency proceedings. See Beltran v. Santa Clara Cnty., 514 F.3d 906, 908–09 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc) (discussing the absolute immunity of social workers when making make discretionary, quasi-prosecutorial decisions, but holding that social workers are not entitled to absolute immunity from claims that they fabricated evidence during an investigation or made false statements in a petition affidavit signed under penalty of perjury); Abdouch v.

Servs., 884 F.2d 133, 135 (4th Cir. 1989). See also Spielman v. Hildebrand, 873 F.2d 1377, 1382–1383 (10th Cir. 1989) (10th Circuit positively discussing, without deciding, absolute immunity for social workers in the judicial context). See also Baca v. City of New York, 2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 11810, (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2003) (2nd Circuit district court positively discussing, without deciding, absolute immunity for social workers in the judicial context). But see V.S. v. Muhammad, 581 F. Supp. 2d 365, 401 (E.D.N.Y. 2008) reversed on other grounds, V.S. v. Muhammad, 595 F.3d 426, 431, 2010 U.S. App. LEXIS 3017, 10–11 (2d Cir. 2010) (2nd Circuit district court refusing to extend absolute immunity to social workers in the judicial context). The U.S. Supreme Court has not directly decided whether social workers have absolute immunity in any context, but Justice Thomas has expressed skepticism regarding it. See Hoffman v. Harris, 511 U.S. 1060, 1062–63 (1994) (Thomas, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari). Social workers have qualified immunity in all other contexts. http://www.heritagedefense.org/2015/07/13/in-32-states-social-workers-immune-for-lying-to-judges/
False reporting is usually classified as a low level misdemeanor, which is a crime. In some states, filing a false child abuse report is a higher-level crime—a felony. People who make false reports can be subject to fines ranging from $100 to $5,000 or sentences from 90 days to five years in jail or prison. Reporters who are found to have filed multiple false reports may be subject to even harsher penalties (See Child Welfare Information Gateway for information on your particular state). Besides criminal penalties for making a false report, reporters can also be subject to civil liability in the form of compensatory and/or punitive damages. Compensatory damages are meant to pay for any actual losses the family incurs as a result of the false report. Losses are not limited to the financial kind, but the damage award will generally be in the form of money. Compensatory damages can include damage to reputation, disruption caused by the investigative process, and even assault and battery for unwarranted physical examinations of children in response to a false report (Lau, Krase, & Morse, 2009). In addition to compensatory damages, punitive damages may be awarded for a false report. Punitive damages “punish” bad behavior, and usually involve a large monetary award, above and beyond the actual damages caused by the report. www.socialworker.com

8-2.261 - Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons

The Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA), 42 U.S.C. § 1997, et seq., authorizes the Attorney General to enforce the constitutional and federal statutory rights of persons confined to state and local institutions. These include facilities for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled, nursing homes, prisons, jails, and juvenile facilities. The investigations and litigation focus on a broad range of issues depending on the type of institution and the nature of alleged unconstitutional conditions. Issues include, for example, abuse, crowding, medical and mental health care, fire safety, sanitation, security, adequacy of treatment and training, and education.To initiate suit under the Act, the Attorney General must have reasonable cause to believe that the deprivation of rights is part of a pattern or practice of denial rather than an isolated or accidental incident. At the time of commencing the civil action, the Attorney General must personally certify to the court (1) that he/she has previously notified, in writing, the appropriate state officials of the alleged deprivation, supporting facts, and possible remedy; (2) that he/she has notified, in writing, the appropriate state official of his/her intent to conduct an investigation of the state institution and that the Attorney General has made a good faith effort to consult with the appropriate state officials to advise them of federal assistance that may be available, encouraged the appropriate state official to correct the alleged conditions and pattern or practice, and that the appropriate officials have had reasonable time to take appropriate corrective actions; and (3) that this action is of general public importance.CRIPA also authorizes the Attorney General to intervene in any action commenced in any court of the United States when the Attorney General has reason to believe that such deprivation is pursuant to a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of such rights, privileges, or immunities. A motion to intervene may not be filed until 90 days after the commencement of the action. In the motion to intervene the Attorney General must certify to the court that the appropriate state officials have been notified of (a) the alleged conditions and pattern or practice; (b) the supporting facts giving rise to the alleged conditions; and (c) the minimum measures that may remedy the alleged conditions and pattern or practice. Motions to intervene and certifications must be signed by the Attorney General personally.When complaints of widespread deprivation in conditions of confinement are received by a United States Attorney, they should be forwarded to the Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division, for evaluation and review prior to any request for investigation.[cited in USAM 8-2.140]_____________________________________________________________ Reunification; www.childwelfare.gov42 U.S. Code § 671 Federal law has long required State agencies to demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been made to provide assistance and services to prevent the removal of a child from his or her home and to make it possible for a child who has been placed in out-of-home care to be reunited with his or her family Under the provisions of ASFA, reasonable efforts to preserve or reunify the family are not required when the court has determined any of the following: • The parent subjected the child to aggravated circumstances as defined by State law. The definition of aggravated circumstances may include, but is not limited to, abandonment, torture, chronic abuse, and sexual abuse. • The parent committed murder of another child of the parent. • The parent committed voluntary manslaughter of another child of the parent. • The parent aided or abetted, attempted, conspired, or solicited to commit such a murder or voluntary manslaughter. • The parent committed a felony assault that resulted in serious bodily injury to the child or another child of the parent. • The parental rights of the parent to a sibling of the child were terminated involuntarily.
