Break Down of How CPS Was Enabled to STEAL CHILDREN!

Here it is broken down: GOOGLE IT PEOPLE
The corrupt business of CPS and foster families adopting these poor babies that us parents abuse and neglect.
• In 1974 Walter Mondale promoted the Child Abuse and Prevention Act which began feeding massive amounts of federal funding to states to set up programs to combat child abuse and neglect. From that came Child "Protective" Services, as we know it today. After the bill passed, Mondale himself expressed concerns that it could be misused. He worried that it could lead states to create a "business" in dealing with children.
• Then in 1997 President Clinton passed the "Adoption and Safe Families Act." The public relations campaign promoted it as a way to help abused and neglected children who languished in foster care for years, often being shuffled among dozens of foster homes, never having a real home and family. In a press release from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services dated November 24, 1999, it refers to "President Clinton’s initiative to double by 2002 the number of children in foster care who are adopted or otherwise permanently placed."
• The United States Department of Health & Human Services administers Child Protective Services. To accompany the ASF Act, the President requested, by executive memorandum, an initiative entitled Adoption 2002, to be implemented and managed by Health & Human Services. The initiative not only gives the cash adoption bonuses to the states, it also provides cash adoption subsidies to adoptive parents until the children turn eighteen.

Now ADOPTION BONUSES BROKEDOWN-State

• The way that the adoption bonuses work is that each state is given a baseline number of expected adoptions based on population.
• For every child that DSS can get adopted, there is a bonus of $4,000 to $6,000.
• But that is just the starting figure in a complex mathematical formula in which each bonus is multiplied by the percentage that the state has managed to exceed its baseline adoption number. The states must maintain this increase in each successive year. [Like compound interest.] The bill reads: "$4,000 to $6,000 will be multiplied by the amount (if any) by which the number of foster child adoptions in the State exceeds the base number of foster child adoptions for the State for the fiscal year." In the "technical assistance" section of the bill it states that, "the Secretary [of HHS] may, directly or through grants or contracts, provide technical assistance to assist states and local communities to reach their targets for increased numbers of adoptions for children in foster care." The technical assistance is to support "the goal of encouraging more adoptions out of the foster care system; the development of best practice guidelines for expediting the termination of parental rights; the development of special units and expertise in moving children toward adoption as a permanent goal; models to encourage the fast tracking of children who have not attained 1 year of age into pre-adoptive placements; and the development of programs that place children into pre-adoptive placements without waiting for termination of parental rights."

What’s in it for the foster family to adopt -Foster family incentives?
• After the adoption is finalized, the State and federal subsidies continue. The adoptive parents may collect cash subsidies until the child is 18. If the child stays in school, subsidies continue to the age of 22. There are State funded subsidies as well as federal funds through the Title IV-E section of the Social Security Act. The daily rate for State funds is the same as the foster care payments, which range from $410-$486 per month per child. Unless the child can be designated "special needs," which of course, they all can.
• The adoptive parents also receive Medicaid for the child, a clothing allowance and reimbursement for adoption costs such as adoption fees, court and attorney fees, cost of adoption home study, and "reasonable costs of food and lodging for the child and adoptive parents when necessary to complete the adoption process." Under Title XX of the Social Security Act adoptive parents are also entitled to post adoption services "that may be helpful in keeping the family intact," including "daycare, specialized daycare, respite care, in-house support services such as housekeeping, and personal care, counseling, and other child welfare services". [Wow! Everything short of being knighted by the Queen!]
• The subsidy profile actually states that it does not include money to remodel the home to accommodate the child. But, as subsidies can be negotiated, remodeling could possibly be accomplished under the "innovative incentives to remove barriers to adoption" section. The subsidy regulations read that "adoption assistance is based solely on the needs of the child without regard to the income of the family." What an interesting government policy when compared to the welfare program that the same child’s mother may have been on before losing her children, and in which she may not own anything, must prove that she has no money in the bank; no boats, real estate, stocks or bonds; and cannot even own a car that is safe to drive worth over $1000. This is all so she can collect $539 per month for herself and two children. The foster parent who gets her children gets $820 plus. We spit on the mother on welfare as a parasite who is bleeding the taxpayers, yet we hold the foster and adoptive parents [who are bleeding ten times as much from the taxpayers] up as saints. The adoptive and foster parents aren’t subjected to psychological evaluations, ink blot tests, MMPI’s, drug & alcohol evaluations, or urine screens as the parents are.

Berks CYS STEALS newborn from Hospital November 24th 2015

Again Berks County CYS has stolen another innocent baby from her loving mother's arms.  No allegations, no charges, no concrete reason of any kind.  This is the 3rd child they kidjacked from this mom.  The father was told he needs to take parenting classes if he wants his baby.  Really???  Since when must we all take parenting classes to raise our own children?  This is beyond heartbreaking and a far case of once again over stepping the rights of parents.  We need to join forces and shut down this agency!  This is happening everyday.  Good families destroyed by an agency that has no oversight, no laws to follow and nobody overseeing what they are doing.  Just outright WRONG!!!  I will be updating and adding to this tragic story.

Casa Returning to Berks County

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is accepting applications from the community to act as advocates for children who have been removed from their families.  Judge Mary Ann Ullman is behind the effort to bring the CASA program back to the county.  CASA has been holding meetings and putting together a board of directors.  Executive Director, Ashley Frank, can be reached at 610-301-8634.  You will be required to fill out an application, submit 3 reference forms (2 non-relative) and go through a background clearance.  You can go online and fill out the application at http://www.casaberks.org/pdf/volunteer_application.pdf.  Once submitted you will be called for an interview.  The first meeting is November 17th from 6-7pm at the West Lawn/Wyomissing Library.  RSVP required due to limited seating.

If you are interested in making a difference in a child's life this may be exactly what you are looking for.  You can work as much or as little as you choose.  You will have full access to case files and counseling files.  You will report your findings directly to the judge.  There are times when children need to be removed from homes for their safety.  There are also many more cases when children are removed on false allegations and with the intent of collecting from the large source of money that the county receives for placing children in foster care.  There are even more incentives to adopt children out to strangers.  This money is our tax payer dollars and could be used to keep families together when wrongly torn apart.  According to Pennwatch, in 2014-968 children were removed from their homes. That is an average of 80+ children a month.  Surely not all these removals were warranted.  If you would like more information on becoming a CASA volunteer please email me at the above referenced address.  Our children and our families need and deserve the oversight in the family courts.  This is your opportunity to step up and be a part of the solution.  

Parent Alienation is a CRIME

William Brown a devoted father learned very quickly how the interference of BCCYS can destroy a once happy and successful life.  While going through custody issues in Montgomery County his daughters mother decided to move to Berks County.  As with many investigations into BCCYS cases the mother decided using the agency as a tool would help her in alienated William.  Montgomery County already had concerns about Parental Alienation and had court ordered expert Dr. Brynne Rivlin to evaluate the parents and child.  Brynne Rivlin is author of a highly recognized book "Children Held Hostage: Identifying Brainwashed Children, Presenting a Case and Crafting Solutions."  As a skilled professional in alienation by parents she found that indeed there were issues in the Brown case and was working to resolve those issues by keeping both parents involved in their 13 year old daughter's life.  Mother refused to meet with Dr. Rivlin and set out to destroy the loving caring relationship her daughter had with her father.

My daughter enjoyed a very active life when with me by attending dance classes which she loved and excelled at.  She had hopes of getting adult dance parts since turning thirteen and also enjoyed assisting a dance instructor with 4-5 year olds.  She had very dear friends and enjoyed doing various activities with them.  She received high scores at school and was a very well rounded child.  She loved her daddy but seemed to be getting more and more frustrated with having to communicate between parents.

In February 2008 all the happiness and joy William had of being a father was completely destroyed when the mother made a false report to Childline accusing him of child abuse.  William received a call from BCCYS supervisor Judy Hoover-Thompson that he would no longer be permitted visits with his daughter due to the abuse allegations.  He was informed that his daughter was now in the custody of BCCYS and her mother.  At the hearing even though William presented evidence through Montgomery County court records and the evaluation by Dr Rivlin the court ruled no contact with his daughter.

I felt like my daughter had been kidjacked.  BCCYS refused to address any of the information presented to them including testimony from teachers and those who know my daughter and I.  Her mother pulled her out of the dance classes she loved so much and I was literally cut out of my child's life having done nothing to deserve the treatment dealt me.  It was the clearest misuse of power I had ever witnessed.  Then as if I wasn't suffering enough emotional pain and stress I was terminated from my job due to the false Childline report made against me.  I was a counselor working with children in the system and knew full well how mentally disturbed and angry they would get when taken from parents and people they loved.  I was so concerned for what my daughter was experiencing due to this inflicted pain by BCCYS. I worked in a clinical profession for 27 years and it still stuns me how I trusted and was fooled by the system to do the right thing for me and my daughter.

While he continued to struggle with finding ways to get reunited with his daughter social worker Nicole Robinson at BCCYS was arranging a court ordered evaluation with Dr. Richard Small of Spring Psychological and Allison Hill PHD of Berks Psychological.  The evaluation was conducted by Hill but only done with mother and daughter.  William was not asked to participate.  This evaluation was used to back up BCCYS in further alienating him and his daughter.  William never even received a copy of the report until a custody conference which left no time for he or his attorney to examine the report. 

Throughout all court hearings Nicole Robison and solicitor for BCCYS, Jennifer Grimes continued to make false allegations and united with the mother in creating the child abuse accusation.  They joined ranks with the mother in using the child as a vessel and brain washed my daughter into making false statements to support their corrupt actions.  They ignored my civil and amendment rights.  I received no due process and they purposely never investigated all the proof accessible to them in my favor.

 Parental alienation (or Hostile Aggressive Parenting) is a group of behaviors that are damaging to children's mental and emotional well-being, and can interfere with a relationship of a child and either parent. These behaviors most often accompany high conflict marriages, separation or divorce. These behaviors whether verbal or non-verbal, cause a child to be mentally manipulated or bullied into believing a loving parent is the cause of all their problems, and/or the enemy, to be feared, hated, disrespected and/or avoided. 

In March of 2008 full custody was granted to the mother.  Williams daughter is now 21 years old and has been denied years of valuable time with her father.  He has been emotionally tortured and judicially abused.  Once again BCCYS has dismantled a family.  Again the same names of those directly involved in many cases are destroying what were healthy loving relationships.  William did not stop seeking justice for his name and character.  On January 13, 2011 he received an Order of Remand issued by the PA Department of Public Welfare Hearings and Appeals that the evaluation by Dr Hill was tainted due to false information submitted by Nicole Robinson.  That the courts failed to adequately consider testimony from 2 witnesses for William and a new adjudication was issued.  BCCYS never followed up on reopening his case. 

I have come forth with this information in hopes further exposing this abuse and corruption.  I have faced yet another painful Father's Day without my daughter.  Every Christmas, birthday, or significant event in my life I am unable to share with the most precious gift, my daughter.  She was ripped from my life under the direction of social worker, Nicole Robinson who was backed by BCCYS staff, affiliated doctors, judges, lawyers, guardian ad litems and Berks County Family Courts.  I have participated in counseling to try and understand and deal with what I must face day after day without my daughter in my life. I haven't even been able to reach out to her because I do not know where she is.  I remain at the same address where her bedroom has gone untouched.  All her clothing, pictures, and memories of the happiness this house once held when she was here calling me daddy wait for her return.  As agonizing as it has been to relive the horror of the hearings, job loss, accusations against me and loss I am determined to make a difference in reforming and changing the way the family courts and Human Services operate.  Parent Alienation is a serious transgression and is being carried out by the very people employed by our government and the tax dollars they receive to protect families and children.

Parent Alienation is a form of abuse commonly used by Berks County Children and Youth.  8 out of 10  cases investigated by the Berks County Independent Gazette involve case workers and counselors removing one parent as in Williams case or the child is alienated from both parents and placed a great distance from family and friends.  BCCYS stops all communication with family and forces the child to be raised by strangers.  Experts who have studied parent alienation and it's devastating effects like Dr. Rivlin  in William's case and the Director of Vincent J. Montana Center, Dr Amy Baker Ph.D author of 8 books on the subject agree that alienation is abuse and can have tragic long term consequences in both children and adults.  With all the evidence from the experts and proof of the negative mental effects of parent alienation the agencies formed to protect children and families should endure harsh penalties for inflicting this abuse and disregarding the very mission we as taxpayers are paying them to uphold.

Parental Rights Organization on Parental Rights

From its conception it has been the aim of ParentalRights.org to protect in the text of the Constitution the rights of all parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children. To that end we have just added a new section to the proposed language in order to address an ongoing weakness in the practice of parental rights law.

The new section provides that “The parental rights guaranteed by this article shall not be denied or abridged on account of disability.”

According to a study of the National Council on Disability, parents with disabilities face child removal rates of anywhere from 40 to 80 percent depending on the nature of their disability – far above the national norm. Those who are deaf or blind face “extremely high rates of child removal and loss of parental rights.” The study concludes, “Clearly, the legal system is not protecting the rights of parents with disabilities and their children.”

The proposed Parental Rights Amendment offers the opportunity to address and correct this wrong, and the addition of this new language makes clear our intention to do just that. This is more than an opportunity; it is an obligation.

During the 20th Century the Supreme Court developed a doctrine of “protected classes” – special classifications of citizens against whom the government is prohibited from discriminating under the Fourteenth Amendment. Religious groups, racial minorities, and women are all among these “protected classes,” identified through a line of civil rights and anti-discrimination acts dating back to 1964.

In its embarrassing eugenics-era Buck v. Bell decision, however, the Court made clear ahead of time that the disabled were not on that list. Their opinion would be horrifyingly offensive to our modern sensibilities:

“It is better for all the world,” Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote for the 1927 Court, “if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind…. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”

It is easy to dismiss this as a prejudiced view from a less sensitive time. Yet, even with the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, this case still hangs over the disabled like the sword of Damocles. It is a precedent that has never been over-turned; the government still retains the power to make decisions for the disabled that it could never make for more mainstream members of society.

In a much different 1979 decision the Court wrote, “The law’s concept of the family… historically…has recognized that natural bonds of affection lead parents to act in the best interests of their children….

“Simply because the decision of a parent is not agreeable to a child, or because it involves risks, does not automatically transfer the power to make that decision from the parents to some agency or officer of the state.”

Sadly, this legal presumption of parental fitness often fails to serve the parent who suffers a disability. According to the NCD report, “fully two-thirds of dependency statutes allow the court to reach the determination that a parent is unfit…on the basis of the parent’s disability.”

The time has come to correct this wrong, and the proposed Parental Rights Amendment is just the vehicle by which to do it.

We have said consistently that as parents we are all in this together. This is one more opportunity to prove that point.

Certainly we are hopeful that many individuals and organizations of the disability community will take an interest in this addition and join our fight to preserve parental rights. Already we are thrilled to welcome the endorsement of the National Federation of the Blind.

But even if other disabled citizens do not join our effort we will stand for their rights alongside our own. Because knowledge of the errors of the past is not sufficient to prevent their repetition; when it comes our turn we must be faithful to set a different course.

We are proud to set that course today.

Declaration of Facts

I, ______________________________, state:
(Your Name)

1. I am the mother/father of three children: (Names of kids.)

2. This declaration is being written (state reason for writing the declaration of facts – for example, “in support of a motion to return children to mother” or, “to explain my side of the case to the court”.

3. This is in reference to (Case Name, Case Number, Date Filed and the name of the court.)

4. (Just state facts one at a time… I’ll give some examples.) On June 2, 2002 I let my children go to school as usual and while they were there a CPS employee interviewed them without letting me know first.

5. There were no witnesses to this interview and to my knowledge no recording was made.

6. My children were detained by the CPS employee and I was not notified by the school so by 4:30 when they didn’t come home from school I was worried about them and called the school to find out if they knew anything.

7. At first nobody wanted to tell me where my kids were and the phone was handed to three different people. Finally the principal got on the line and told me that CPS took my three kids because my son, Johnny, had a bruise on his arm and said I did it.

8. The bruise happened because he climbed the apple tree and then got scared and couldn’t get down. I climbed up there and grabbed him and had to lower him down by his arm and that’s how he got bruised.

9. By the time I got off the phone with the principal of the school, it was only a few minutes before five PM so I called CPS but only got a recording and nobody would answer. It was Friday and I couldn’t get through to them all weekend and even went to the office twice but it was closed. That was why I didn’t check on them for two days – not because I didn’t care which is what the worker, Judy Jones, made it sound like in court on Wednesday.

10. I haven’t seen my children in three weeks because they say I’m a danger to them. This is not true. In fact most of what they say about me is not true which is why I’m contesting the charges and asking for a full trial to make them try to prove their untrue statements.

11. The CPS employees I talk to on the phone are extremely rude to me. They are Judy Jones and her supervisor, Mr. Smith. Judy Jones said very sarcastically: “You should never have had kids if you were going to hurt them. People like you make me sick.” This woman, Judy Jones, won’t believe this happened in the apple tree.

12. I am requesting a court order for the return of my children immediately.

[NOTE: This last part should state the exact words used, just change the date and place to match your circumstance.]

Executed January, 1, 2003 Town, State

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

A look at numbers

In 2014 Berks County Children and Youth Services removed 968 children from their families.  That is equivilant to 80+ children per month.  There is no way that many children needed to be taken from their parents and put in government care.  The kidjacking issues have spiraled out of control.  They are now using 10 year old citations as reason to steal children.  Again they have stolen another newborn right from the Reading Hospital nursery.  Think it can't/won't happen to you.  Only when it does affect your family can you understand how corrupt, devious, and evil this agency is.  Check out the numbers on Pennwatch.com.

Update on Tony and Danielle

An update on a story that has run in the first two issues of the Gazette on Tony, Danielle and Breanna.  Berks County CYS still continues to hold Breanna hostage in the system even though they have been unable to produce any documentation of abuse or any substantial basis for her removal.  When they fail to prove one thing they make up another reason to keep her.  Tony and Danielle are continuing to jump through the required hoops to get their daughter back only to get confronted with more allegations.  Due to the fact that Breanna is only 11 years old and a hot commodity for adoption the parents are finding it difficult to fight an agency that has no oversight and in fact is permitted to wrongfully take innocent children from good parents for the cash incentives they receive from the federal government.  Berks County needs more attorneys that are willing to step up and help get families like them reunited.  If you are a willing attorney to go up against Berks County CYS please contact me.  I can keep you very busy with all the cases of children who have been illegally taken from their families.

Berks County CYS LIES About Kinship Placements.

This is what Berks County is reporting for the applications (family members who applied for kinship) and those that were denied placement of the child family member.  This is such an Obvious LIE!!!  First of all over 90% of family members never even receive the letters, required by law, offering them kinship from Berks County CYS.  Secondly, of the 30+ cases on my desk right now every single family applied for and was approved for kinship in 2015 and all were denied the child.  That blows that 19 figure out of the water.  In 12 other 2015 cases I have worked on family filed for guardianship and adoption and were denied.  This is a few amont of cases imagine the REAL numbers.  Berks County blatantly goes against the law which clearly states that reunification is first next kinship.  Because the staff at BCCYS is so accustomed to ignoring laws and actually prefer criminal methods, a large percentage of Berks County children are shoved to strangers, switched from foster home to foster home, denied any contact with family, drugged and left in the system until they age out.  When will these crimes on families end?  When more and more families get good lawyers and prove how their amendment rights, civil rights and lies being submitted by BCCYS are proven and caseworkers, lawyers, GAL's and judges start going to prison for their roles in this racketeering and extortion activity that is destroying the core of America.  The FAMILY!!!

Sharon Scullin Esq GONE from Berks CYS

Just heard another constant figure in the stealing of children has left Berks County Children and Youth Services.  Name sound familiar??  She has served as Guardian ad Litem to many of the children ripped from their families and placed in foster care with strangers.  Question is: Did she leave because she actually had come to realize that what she was doing was wrong?  or Did she run from the possibility of prosecution as the truth behind CYS is exposed for what it is?  Child Trafficking!!

2007-2015 The Mission Continues to Steal Children

http://www2.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=32861
Read this article from 2007.  Trying to make the public believe they are helping families and children.  The reason the are and should be in so much danger is because they are illegally taking your children with the help of law enforcement.  The long running money making scam of kidjacking kids to get them in the system, drug them, counsel them, harass their parents, and eventually adopt them to strangers has only gotten worse.  In the year of 2015 quotas can reach as high as 50+ children per month taken and held captive in the system.  Counties and states have to match or meet such numbers in order to continue to collect government wrap around services for all the children they steal.  Ripped from mom, dad, sisters, brothers, grandparents, culture, relatives, and everything they have known to be handed to strangers more likely to abuse and neglect them.  Newborns taken right from the hospital before mom is even released.  A hearing held she was not made aware of and then years of lawyers, doctors, GAL's, judges....collecting to keep the case open and the family separated.  If you were in foster care you are at high risk of have your child taken in the future.  These caseworkers prey on the poor, under educated, and scared.  Don't let them get to you and your family.  Educate yourself.  Get a GOOD attorney not a court appointed one that works for CYS.  Know the tricks of their trade.  If you need help there are many resources out there to guide you.  Those with past experience, whistle blowers, and believe it or not honest people who want to stop the corruption in our family courts.  Never give up.  Reach out to other parents, websites and facebook groups that can support you.  More and more families are filing lawsuits and they are WINNING!!!

Rachael Drobnick Continues Her Mission to DESTROY Families.

I received another complaint about Rachael Drobnick.  Not only has she committed numerous illegal acts to steal children and get them under her control she also has right out told a Reading family that "We do not follow the law here at Berks County CYS."  This family has managed to get their children away from Drobnick's claws but only due to the fairness of Judge Sprecher questioning the shady motives of Drobnick and her followers.  Hearing Master Narci Hughes also refused to remove the children on September 24, 2015.  Number one Drobnick was attempting to have removal accomplished without the Judges approval and her accusations were unproven and questionable.  Normal procedure for Drobnick to try and often succeed in removing children by doing so behind the Judges back.  She has done the exact same thing in a medical kidnap where she went behind Judge Ullman's back to get a Philadelphia Hospital to submit false reports of child abuse when the parents and professional doctors have already proven the reason for the child's illness is disease.  If you are having issues with Drobnick or any Berks County Caseworker please give me a call.  We as a group effort need to rid the CYS office of people that are hell bent on destroying good families, terminating parental rights and adopting children out to strangers.  I am also taking complaints on lawyers, doctors, GAL's and judges.

One Caseworker DOWN Many to go!!

Just recieved word that Nicole Robinson is no longer a caseworker at Berks County CYS.  Good news for many who crossed her path and had their families needlessly destroyed because of her sick desire to steal children from loving families for profit.  Human Trafficing is commom place in Berks County.  Robinson was a leader in kidjacking, breaking the law, ignoring Amendment and Constitutional Rights.  She will NOT be missed.  Next!!!  Rachael Drobnick.

Berks County Children and Youth Services Caseworkers Behaving Badly

Read on as caseworkers make fun of stealing children.  Joke of what goes on behind closed doors and brag about getting out of a speeding ticket.  Remember how they use tickets and alcohol to take your children.  Hypocritical as they are doing the same thing.  They surely should not hold positions in that they are kidjacking children.

Cesar Update

UPDATE 9/21/2015 Story By Medical Kidnap

From the #ReuniteandFight4Cesar ^[1] Facebook page today:

Dr. Holick has confirmed Cesar has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and he had the infantile rickets In which caused bone fragility.

As Health Impact News has previously reported,

On June 29, she says she traveled to Boston to meet with world-renowned Dr. Michael Holick, Ph.D. M.D., who counts among his accomplishments pioneering ground-breaking research on vitamin D. After obtaining Cesar and Jessica’s family history and examining Jessica, he reportedly diagnosed her with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome III, which is a hypermobile type of EDS. Because she has the disorder, the likelihood of a similar medical condition in her son is increased. [See here ^[2].]

Earlier in September, a judge approved for Jessica Battiato to take her son Cesar to Dr. Holick for a visit on September 21, where he has now confirmed the diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos.

She is hopeful that this finding will help her get her son back home quickly.

She still has to face a court battle, where CPS may try to discount the testimony of Dr. Holick and other experts. Their case is based on the testimony of child abuse specialist Dr. Kathryn Crowell, who has previously “misrepresented” medical evidence in the past, resulting in an innocent father being sent to prison before he was exonerated by the facts.

As of today Cesar is still in foster care.  On July 29, 2015 another hearing was held in front of Judge Mary Ann Ullman.  Lead attorney Matt Kopecki asked the court to allow for Cesar to see Dr. Michael Holick in his office in Boston.  All the medical evidence that has been gathered was presented.  Children and Youth services refused and instead suggested a second opinion from another child abuse expert at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).  The child has not been abused.   Dr. Ayoub and Dr. Holick believe its rickets, but there is a possibility Cesar carries a genetic defect of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and which can cause bone fragility among infants who have a combination and who have vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency.  Crowell the Hershey doctor that made the accusations of child abuse against the parents refuses to accept any other diagnosis even though she has been on trial before for mis-diagnosing this disease.  Attorney Kopecki countered by explaining to Judge Ullman that Cesar has a rare condition and very few experts are available since rickets has returned in children as an illness once thought to be non-existent for years.  Although Ullman did say a visit with expert Holick was not out of the question she needed a "significant reason" for the trip.

Cesar's mom feels the whole reason to send him to CHOP is to cover up Dr. Crowell's mistake.  Because both Crowell and BCCYS refuse to look at valid medical reasons for Cesar's condition.  BCCYS went as far as to call Dr. Holick a "Quack."  Considering she has absolutely no medical degree it does appear that CYS is refusing to look at the evidence so they can continue to hold Cesar in foster care.  Jessica stated, "This is my son.  Stop covering your behinds.  Give me my son back." 

The motion for that reason was heard on September 1st.  Dr. Holick testified on Cesar's behalf via telephone.  During testimony the BCCYS workers appeared very nervous and unprepared to deal with a real expert like Dr. Holick.  The county had no real evidence or substantial testimony to present.  Judge Ullman proceeded to grant the motion for Cesar to go Boston for an appointment with Dr. Holick.  The will be accompanied by BCCYS workers and the foster mom.  Berks County is covering the traveling expenses.  Great news for Cesar and his parents.

 “The Mission of the Berks County Children and Youth Services is to protect children and assure their physical & emotional well-being as provided by law, and to preserve, strengthen & empower their families.”

Jessica feels this statement "promotes false hope."  "Berks County Children and Youth Services failed to assure baby Cesar’s physical and emotional well-being. Instead, BCCYS and Hershey started name calling our expert, Dr. Holick, a “Quack.”  They’re not focused on my son’s physical and emotional well-being; instead, they are attacking our experts. It seems my son’s medical condition has become a joke to BCCYS team and Hershey Medical Center. They are more focused on covering themselves, than concluding with the correct diagnosis of Cesar. It seems they are ready for war and it has become a battle of the experts. But, when it comes to a mother’s love for her child, it is one of the most powerful feelings that has given me strength to be fearless for my son. I am ready, I am prepared, and I am his advocate."

Because Cesar's injuries were reported as abuse Jessica must also endure a child abuse investigation.  Detective Ivan Martinez was assigned to her case admitting that he has never done a child abuse investigation.  He attempted to force Jessica into a polygraph test but he refused to guarantee that if she took the test and she passes that Cesar would be returned.  She refused the test knowing she is innocent assuming this is just another tactic to manipulate her case without the guarantee that baby Cesar be given back to her. 

The next court hearing is scheduled for October 13, 2015 at 9:30am.  In the interim Cesar's parents are going to meet with State Rep Mark Gillen on September 8, 2015 and are waiting to hear from Senator Schwank as well. 

Please contact the governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf, and ask that Baby Cesar be returned to his family. He may be reached at 717-787-2500.

The Battiatos are represented by Rep. Mark Gillen, who may be reached at (610) 775-5130.

Senator Judith Schwank is the senator for the Battiatos’ district. She may be reached at (717) 787-8925.

Definitions of Racketeering-Police State-Fraud-Corrupt-Extortion

Racketeering -A racket is a service that is fraudulently offered to solve a problem, such as for a problem that does not actually exist, will not be affected, or would not otherwise exist. Conducting a racket is racketeering. It is in simple terms when an agency like children and youth services proclaims to solve the problems of neglected and abused children when in fact they are the bigger cause of the problem although that fact is concealed to gather further support (and or money)for their cause.  While their threats and claims of protection are protected it is still extortion.

Police State- is a state in which the government exercises firm and cruel controls over the social, economic, and political life of the population. A police state typically exhibits basics of dictatorship or social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by officials.  Many are experiencing in the often now ordered GAG orders.  It is also being used to cover up the crimes being committed in our courts.

The people of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police or intelligence agency force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a state based on justice and integrity.

Fraud is a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. As a legal theory, fraud is both a civil wrong (where a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud and/or recover financial compensation) and a criminal wrong (where a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities). Defrauding people or organizations of money or valuables is the usual purpose of fraud, but it sometimes instead involves obtaining benefits without actually depriving anyone of money or valuables, but can also include withholding information such as child abuse or lying about facts to a judge to obtain a desired outcome. 

The word corrupt  means "utterly broken". Which the system is!!!  Corruption is described as the illegitimate use of public power to benefit a private interest.  Such as confiscating children for profit and job security as social workers, lawyers , judges, GAL's and doctors are doing in child welfare and family courts.  In another description corruption is an action to secretly provide a good or a service to a third party so that he or she can influence certain actions which  benefit the corrupt, a third party, or both in which the corrupt agent has authority.   In other words this same group in child welfare and family courts are offered incentives and job security to illegally kidnap children from loving families and hold them in the "system" for profit.  They are given immunity from prosecution for lying, kidnapping, covering up and deceiving the public so that they may continue their illicit abuses with no penalty but reap financial gains.

Extortion is the crime of obtaining money or property by threat to a victim's property or loved ones, intimidation, or false claim of a right. What is Extortion? Most states define extortion as the gaining of property or money by almost any kind of force, or threat of 1) violence, 2) property damage, 3) harm to reputation, or 4) unfavorable government action. While usually viewed as a form of theft/larceny, extortion differs from robbery in that the threat in question does not pose an imminent physical danger to the victim. Extortion is a felony in all states. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose embarrassing and damaging information to family, friends, or the public. Inherent in this common form of extortion is the threat to expose the details of someone's private lives to the public unless money is exchanged. Another common extortion crime is offering "protection" to a businessman to keep his business safe from burglary or vandalism. For example, Dan goes to Victor's place of business and demands monthly payment from Victor for the business's "protection" from vandalism and after-hours theft. Fearing that he or his business will suffer harm otherwise, Victor agrees to pay Dan. Extortion can take place over the telephone, via mail, text, email or other computer or wireless communication. If any method of interstate commerce is used in the extortion, it can be a federal crime. - See more at: http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/extortion.html#sthash.mJzd51SX.dpuf

Declaration of Facts

I, ______________________________, state:
(Your Name)

1. I am the mother/father of three children: (Names of kids.)

2. This declaration is being written (state reason for writing the declaration of facts – for example, “in support of a motion to return children to mother” or, “to explain my side of the case to the court”.

3. This is in reference to (Case Name, Case Number, Date Filed and the name of the court.)

4. (Just state facts one at a time… I’ll give some examples.) On June 2, 2002 I let my children go to school as usual and while they were there a CPS employee interviewed them without letting me know first.

5. There were no witnesses to this interview and to my knowledge no recording was made.

6. My children were detained by the CPS employee and I was not notified by the school so by 4:30 when they didn’t come home from school I was worried about them and called the school to find out if they knew anything.

7. At first nobody wanted to tell me where my kids were and the phone was handed to three different people. Finally the principal got on the line and told me that CPS took my three kids because my son, Johnny, had a bruise on his arm and said I did it.

8. The bruise happened because he climbed the apple tree and then got scared and couldn’t get down. I climbed up there and grabbed him and had to lower him down by his arm and that’s how he got bruised.

9. By the time I got off the phone with the principal of the school, it was only a few minutes before five PM so I called CPS but only got a recording and nobody would answer. It was Friday and I couldn’t get through to them all weekend and even went to the office twice but it was closed. That was why I didn’t check on them for two days – not because I didn’t care which is what the worker, Judy Jones, made it sound like in court on Wednesday.

10. I haven’t seen my children in three weeks because they say I’m a danger to them. This is not true. In fact most of what they say about me is not true which is why I’m contesting the charges and asking for a full trial to make them try to prove their untrue statements.

11. The CPS employees I talk to on the phone are extremely rude to me. They are Judy Jones and her supervisor, Mr. Smith. Judy Jones said very sarcastically: “You should never have had kids if you were going to hurt them. People like you make me sick.” This woman, Judy Jones, won’t believe this happened in the apple tree.

12. I am requesting a court order for the return of my children immediately.

[NOTE: This last part should state the exact words used, just change the date and place to match your circumstance.]

Executed January, 1, 2003 Town, State

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
