In this episode of the BYOK Podcast, I sit down with my nephew, Andre Quinn, as he shares his powerful story of resilience, growth, and transformation. When I asked Andre what he wanted to talk about, he simply said, "I've been through it all and then some — and I'm ready to share my story." And he truly delivered.We dive into topics like the power of influence, working within systems to create real change, and his perspective on how Black people are portrayed in the media. Andre also shares his thoughts on quantum physics, black holes, emotional intelligence, and the disturbing news surrounding the 85,000 missing children — with Child Protective Services (CPS) now under pressure for answers.This conversation is filled with wisdom, real talk, and reflections that will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.

The Attorney Post - If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!
https://www.dpfamilylawfirm.net/ 346-400-5930 Introduction of Dan-Phi Nguyen and Discussion on CARES Act In a recent episode of The Attorney Post, Dan-Phi Nguyen, a seasoned attorney, shares his legal journey and insights, focusing on Child Protective Services (CPS) cases and his transition to private practice. This blog post delves into his career path, the challenges in child protective services, and his perspectives on parenting and child welfare. Challenges in Child Protective Services Cases Representing the department in CPS cases presents significant challenges, as Dan-Phi explains. He highlights the delicate balance between protecting parental rights and ensuring the child's best interests. He raises critical questions about the necessary steps parents should take to protect their rights when under CPS investigation, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures and legal guidance. Child Protective Services Investigations Many parents are unaware that CPS can investigate potential abuse or neglect without their knowledge if they do not object. This situation often places children in a difficult position, as they may feel compelled to cooperate with CPS due to their perceived authority. Dan-Phi discusses the potential impact of these investigations on children and strategies to prevent unnecessary removal from their homes. The conversation highlights the need to balance parental rights with child welfare effectively. CPS Investigations and Parental Precautions Dan-Phi advises parents to exercise caution during CPS investigations, noting that CPS is not necessarily their ally. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's rights and avoiding self-incrimination. This advice is especially relevant for parents who may face CPS referrals due to accidental child injuries, underscoring the necessity of legal consultation and careful navigation of CPS processes. Parenting and Child Welfare The episode explores Dan-Phi's personal experiences with parenting, contrasting his upbringing with that of his daughter. He reflects on different parenting approaches and their outcomes, providing a nuanced perspective on child welfare. His insights highlight the importance of careful handling of CPS interviews and understanding one's rights to protect family integrity. Child Injury and CPS Involvement Parents often fear CPS involvement following a child's injury, even if the injury was accidental. Dan-Phi stresses the importance of consulting an attorney and fully understanding one's rights when dealing with CPS. This approach helps parents avoid self-incrimination and navigate the complexities of CPS investigations effectively. Challenges Faced by CPS Investigators Dan-Phi expresses empathy for CPS investigators who often face significant challenges. These investigators are frequently controlled by superiors and have limited say in decisions regarding child removals or other actions. This lack of autonomy can lead to frustrations and challenges in performing their duties effectively. Conclusion Dan-Phi Nguyen's appearance on The Attorney Post provides an in-depth look into the complexities of legal practice, especially in the context of child protective services. His insights into the CARES Act, the challenges of CPS investigations, and the importance of professional growth offer valuable lessons for both seasoned attorneys and aspiring lawyers. His dedication to justice, empathy for clients, and resilience in facing challenges make him a prominent figure in the legal community.

In this episode, Sara, Takara, Kiersten, and Jill discuss a cease and desist letter that Sara received from Adriel, a controversial figure on social media. They analyze the legal implications of the letter and debunk its effectiveness. They also delve into Adriel's questionable behavior, including her inappropriate posts on Snapchat and her past as a teacher's assistant. The conversation highlights the importance of breaking generational curses and the potential consequences of Adriel's actions on her brand and reputation. The conversation in this part revolves around the neglectful parenting and questionable behavior of Adriel and Gabby, two individuals discussed in the previous parts. The participants discuss how Adriel and Gabby mistreat and neglect their children, with examples of Gabby yelling at her son and Adriel showing contempt towards her children. They also speculate about the custody arrangements and the involvement of the grandmother in the children's lives. The conversation highlights the need for proper discipline and guidance for children and expresses concern for their well-being. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges and complexities of dealing with parents who may be neglectful or struggling with mental health issues. They emphasize the importance of providing resources and support to parents in need, rather than immediately resorting to calling Child Protective Services (CPS). The speakers also highlight the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own healing and growth, rather than relying on others for fulfillment. They discuss the loneliness and lack of genuine relationships that can result from this dependency. Overall, the conversation sheds light on the difficulties faced by both parents and educators in navigating these complex situations.
If you are a victim or survivor of domestic violence or narcissistic abuse you will likely come into contact with a lot of our larger systems. One of them being Child Protective Services (CPS).This may bring up your greatest fear, one that your partner threatened on many occasions; that if you leave they will do everything to take your children away from you. And if your abuser has done a good job at making you feel crazy and worthless, the possibility that CPS will take away your children feels imminent. So, what can you do as the protective parent if CPS becomes involved in your case?First, it is helpful to know a bit about the process and how your ex partner will show up. Because of their MO of taking control of the narrative, it is paramount that you develop a relationship with the team of people involved in your case. It is important that you show up in ways that refute the narrative of your ex and do this consistently.I also discuss the negative ramifications of how our current CPS system is impacting cases where family court is involved and what I think needs to change.We're running a contest, come join!

In the heart-wrenching tale of Harmony Montgomery, a little girl lost to a system that failed to protect her, the trial of Adam Montgomery unfolds, spotlighting the profound flaws within our child welfare and legal systems. Adam Montgomery, facing second-degree murder charges for the death of his five-year-old daughter, has admitted to falsifying physical evidence and abusing Harmony's corpse, yet denies causing her death. This case, as discussed on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, raises unsettling questions about parental fitness, systemic failure, and the dire consequences of addiction. The defense's strategy to shift blame to Kayla Montgomery, Adam's former wife, adds a layer of complexity to an already convoluted case. Shavaun Scott, delving into the psychological profiles involved, suggests that Adam's history of violence and imprisonment paints a picture of a person far from an ideal parent. The evidence, including documented abuse of Kayla by Adam, strongly indicates a pattern of destructive behavior exacerbated by drug addiction. This tragic story begins with a choice made by the courts that placed Harmony in the care of Adam, deemed a more suitable guardian than her addicted mother or the foster care system. Scott passionately argues that this decision, and the subsequent lack of oversight by Child Protective Services (CPS), contributed to the harrowing outcome. The podcast discussion highlights the heartbreaking reality that Harmony, despite having been placed in a loving foster home where she was thriving, was ultimately returned to a dangerous environment. The conversation then shifts to the broader implications of Harmony's case, particularly the challenges faced by the child welfare system. Scott and Brueski contemplate the difficult balance between supporting biological family reunification and protecting children from harm. They criticize the legal bias towards biological parents, which often overlooks the best interests of the child in favor of parental rights. Scott shares a deeply personal account of a similar case she was involved in, where a child was returned to an unfit mother, resulting in the child's death. This experience, she reveals, led to her decision to cease working with young children due to the emotional toll of witnessing such preventable tragedies. Her story underscores the urgent need for systemic change to prioritize the safety and well-being of children over the presumption that biological parents are inherently the best caregivers. The Montgomery trial serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of addiction, not just on the individual but on innocent lives caught in the crossfire. The defense's acknowledgment of Adam's actions regarding Harmony's body, while denying his role in her death, presents a perplexing scenario for jurors and observers alike. How does one reconcile the admission of such heinous acts without assuming responsibility for the ultimate crime? As the trial progresses, the "Hidden Killers" podcast sheds light on the deeper societal issues at play, including the inadequacies of the child welfare system and the legal framework that governs it. Scott's insights into the psychological dynamics of the case, combined with her experience in dealing with similar tragedies, offer a compelling perspective on the need for a systemic overhaul. The case of Harmony Montgomery is a heartrending illustration of the failures of multiple systems meant to protect our most vulnerable. As listeners follow the developments of the trial, they are left to ponder the critical question: How many more children must suffer before significant reforms are made to ensure their safety and well-being? The story of Harmony Montgomery is a grim reminder of the work that remains to be done in safeguarding the rights and lives of children across the nation.

How does one reconcile the admission of such heinous acts without assuming responsibility for the ultimate crime? As the trial progresses, the "Hidden Killers" podcast sheds light on the deeper societal issues at play, including the inadequacies of the child welfare system and the legal framework that governs it. Scott's insights into the psychological dynamics of the case, combined with her experience in dealing with similar tragedies, offer a compelling perspective on the need for a systemic overhaul. The case of Harmony Montgomery is a heartrending illustration of the failures of multiple systems meant to protect our most vulnerable. As listeners follow the developments of the trial, they are left to ponder the critical question: How many more children must suffer before significant reforms are made to ensure their safety and well-being? The story of Harmony Montgomery is a grim reminder of the work that remains to be done in safeguarding the rights and lives of children across the nation.

In this gripping episode of The Scoop Squad, we sit down with a woman whose experience with Child Protective Services (CPS) sheds light on the complexities and potential dark sides of the system. She shares her harrowing story of how CPS not only dismantled her family but also, according to her claims, may expose children to the risk of trafficking. Join us as we navigate through these serious allegations, seeking truth and understanding in a system designed for protection. Could there be more victims? Listen in for an investigation into the balance between safeguarding children and the unintended consequences that may follow.
Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement is common, especially for children experiencing poverty, or who are Black or Native American. About a third of children are subject to a CPS investigation before their 18th birthday, but research shows reducing child poverty could help change this. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Pac discusses the recent paper she co-authored titled, “The Effects of Child Poverty Reductions on Child Protective Services Involvement.” Jessica Pac is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Professor Pac's research broadly harnesses applied econometric and data science methods to provide novel insight on mandatory reporting behaviors and the effects of antipoverty and work-family policy supports on maternal employment, safety and health, and infant and child safety and health.
On this week's episode of Inside West Virginia Politics, we talk about the failures of Child Protective Services (CPS) in West Virginia, the 2024 election year, the war between Israel and Hamas, and the gift of giving blood and when to join the winter fun.
This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast presents an interview with innovative film and documentary Director and Producer Jeremy Pion-Berlin. Jeremy's diverse skill set is reflected in the projects that he created: branded content for Samsung and Folgers, a docu-series Heartlandia (CarbonTV), and documentary chronicling professional football player, Derek Carr. His latest documentary — Failure to Protect — is the focus of this episode. Failure To Protect follows five parents -— Anna, Trish, Rheta, Ernst, and Rosa — as they fight desperately to reunify with their children taken by Child Protective Services (CPS). It's an unwavering and nuanced look at the child welfare system where criminals have more rights than parents. Through these highly personal stories, Failure To Protect explores many tough questions, such as do parents whose personal struggles compromised their children's safety deserve a second chance? Is the CPS system biased against minorities, LGBTQIA+ couples, and the economically disadvantaged? To avoid leaving a child in an abusive or dangerous environment, do social workers remove children first and ask questions later? The film offers an unprecedented, in-depth window into the grim realities of the child welfare system through the often ignored perspective of parents. In this episode host Michael Shields and Jeremy Jeremy Pion-Berlin discuss the surprising truth that a person has more rights as a criminal in the criminal justice system than as a parent in the child welfare system. They consider the amount of power social workers have while also acknowledging the immense challenges of their work. They talk about the profound trauma that affects both the parents and children in dealing with the foster system, potential changes that could make the child welfare system more just, and much more.

Jennifer and Sarah Hart, a same-sex, white couple living in Minnesota adopted 6 black and mixed-race children from Texas. That would be a challenge for most people, but Jen and Sarah made it look easy. Jen's social media was full of beautiful pictures of their children in nature, political rallies, protests, and musical festivals. They seemed like the perfect modern family until reports of child abuse and neglect mounted and Child Protective Services (CPS) was called in 3 different states as the Harts moved to evade authorities. The tragic story ended on March 26, 2018, when Jen and Sarah decided to drive off a cliff in Northern California, forever affecting those who loved Markis, Hannah, Devonte, Jeremiah, Abigail, and Ciera so dearly.Support this podcast.Sources:https://news.yahoo.com/two-women-murdered-adopted-black-140003914.html https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hart-family-timeline-20180404-story.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N17FqridVE https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/hart-family-mystery-deepens-as-friends-remember-previous-foster-child-in-minnesota/https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/story-of-harts-foster-child-is-one-of-heartbreak-though-not-the-way-some-might-expect/https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/murder/hart-family-jennifer-hart-sarah-hart-devonte-hart-suv-crashhttps://www.startribune.com/years-of-abuse-allegations-gathered-on-oregon-parents-who-drove-over-ocean-cliff-with-kids/480720321/https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2018/04/hart_family_crash_oregon_relea.htmlhttps://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2018/04/hart_family_deaths_show_--_aga.htmlhttps://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2018/04/devonte_harts_biological_mom_t.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/04/08/tourists-find-a-body-in-the-ocean-near-where-hart-familys-suv-plunged-off-a-cliff/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_family_murdershttps://time.com/5498137/hannah-hart-confirmed-dead-california-cliff-crash/?amp=truehttps://www.oregonlive.com/news/2010/01/cries_for_help_for_jeanette_ma.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/national/his-siblings-were-killed-by-their-adoptive-mother-he-was-left-in-foster-care-to-suffer-a-more-common-fate/2019/12/11/f54f793a-d654-11e9-9610-fb56c5522e1c_story.htmlhttps://www.texastribune.org/2023/03/14/texas-child-welfare-removal-hart-family-deaths/https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2018/07/14/as-children-begged-for-help-system-failed-them/https://www.oregonlive.com/news/g66l-2019/04/62ad88fc503462/hart-family-inquest-see-evidence-the-jury-viewed-before-concluding-mothers-planned-fatal-crash.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/We-Were-Once-Family-Removal-ebook/dp/B09Y4765CL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2241MO98M9RMQ&keywords=we+were+once+a+family&qid=1698208991&sprefix=we+were+once+a+fa%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200129104737.htm

Could a single social worker's snap judgment forever alter the course of a family's life? Recent revelations from the "Hidden Killers" podcast highlight a harrowing tale of a system gone awry, leaving listeners to question the checks and balances within Child Protective Services (CPS). The discussion between Tony Brueski, the show's host, and Bob Motta, Defense Attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," centered around the disturbing case of Maya Kowalski. A family already struggling with their daughter's medical challenges found themselves battling not only a daunting diagnosis but also a system that seemed hell-bent on wresting control away from them. "It's horrific to think...that you can have no judge, no jury. You can just have one social worker make these sort of broad judgments," Brueski commented, capturing the disbelief many parents may feel when confronting the reality of CPS's broad powers. The Kowalski family, already trying to manage Maya's medical needs, found themselves embroiled in a battle where their intentions, actions, and even love for their child were suddenly under scrutiny. Highlighting the depth of the issue, Motta recounted Maya's treatment at Nemours Children's Hospital, a reputable institution that initially diagnosed her condition and recommended specific treatments. However, things took a grim turn when a CPS social worker stepped in. Motta lamented, "Instead of seeing a caring mother, [the social worker] finds her shady, leaning on the Munchausen by proxy narrative," referring to a controversial disorder where caregivers purportedly feign or induce illnesses in those they care for, craving attention or sympathy. This diagnosis – made without extensive medical training and, arguably, outside the purview of the social worker's professional capabilities – became a pivotal point in the family's ongoing saga. "I have a sociology degree. I was a social worker...I wasn't diagnosing anything," Motta clarified, emphasizing the gross overreach and highlighting the potential dangers of a system that sometimes places undue power in the hands of individuals ill-equipped to wield it responsibly. The tale takes an even darker turn with the mention of Dr. Sally Smith, a figure previously involved in several questionable CPS-related investigations. Brueski elaborated on Dr. Smith's track record, indicating a pattern of questionable interventions under her watch. "This was not the only family that had these sort of things happening to them," Brueski stated, referencing a somewhat dismissive apology letter Smith had penned to another family she had deeply affected. Brueski and Motta's conversation then delved into the systemic issues underpinning such tragedies. Brueski observed, "So often we hear...about the child protective services...of not doing the job adequately." However, the Kowalski case presented a different issue, where the system seemed overzealous rather than negligent. Both hosts agreed on the need for competency and accountability within the system. "You can't leave all that power in one person's hands," Motta emphasized, calling for legislative changes to ensure such cases do not recur. In conclusion, the chilling tale of Maya Kowalski serves as a stark reminder of the need for checks, balances, and a focus on genuine child welfare within the Child Protective Services system. As we reflect on this case, a pivotal question lingers: In our quest to protect the vulnerable, have we inadvertently created a system that can shatter innocent lives?

Today, Jan is joined by Abigail Alvarado who is here to tell her harrowing story. Starting at age 9, Abigail and her siblings were removed from the crack house they called home by Child Protective Services (CPS). After a short stay in a shelter, their uncle took them in and shortly thereafter adopted them. Not long after is when the progressive nightmare began. Starting with the same old story of grooming into molestation into sexual abuse while the mother figure doesn't believe her claims, but then after nearly 7 years of constant abuse and brainwashing is where the story takes a hard turn: forced surrogacy. Having 3 children over the next 6-7 years, Abigail watched in horror as her children are raised to believe she is their older sister and giving their love to a pair of sadistic rapists who now have her trapped, or her children will be their next victims. Enter Rudy, a year of secretive on again off again connections, and finally the dam bursts, she tells him her story, and he believes her. Beyond that, he believes in her and offers his assistance if she can manage to escape with her children, which she does. 24 and free she begins a new life with the man she has grown to love and trust. Happily ever after does exist it turns out.Buy her book: I Am Abigail: A Texas Woman's Childhood Nightmare—and Her Escape From Hell as a Sex Slave/SurvivorFollow Abigail On Instagram: Abigailalvarado_survivorThis episode is sponsored by Betterhelp Online Therapy.

The famed YouTube family known as "8 Passengers", led by Ruby and Kevin Franke, are facing allegations of child abuse, leading to a dramatic unfolding of events that have left their 2.5 million subscribers and the world in shock. Ruby and Kevin Franke built their online reputation by sharing their lives with their six children in Utah, giving a candid glimpse into their strict parenting style. However, the facade began to crack in May 2020, when their son Chad revealed in a video that as a consequence of a prank on his younger brother, Russell, he had been relegated to sleep on a beanbag for seven months. This revelation led to a significant backlash against the couple. Many of their YouTube subscribers were horrified. To express their concerns over what they perceived as mistreatment of the Franke children, a petition was initiated. Garnering 17,000 signatures, the petition pushed for a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation into the allegations of maltreatment. The Franke family was scrutinized in June 2020, when Ruby and her daughter Eve were visited by social workers. Despite the public outcry, the case was closed without the allegations being substantiated. Nevertheless, the situation intensified, as irate followers sent angry text messages, spam emails, and even made late-night threats. The incident that really pushed things to a boiling point was when an unidentified individual with a concealed face showed up at their doorstep with a sinister message. Concerned for their family's safety, Kevin sought the help of David Corrington, a private investigator and a former special agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In a recent PEOPLE magazine issue, Corrington stated, "I think what really threw it over the edge was this person showing up in the middle of the night ringing the doorbell. That starts getting a little more personal and scary with the children being in the house." Despite Corrington's belief that several individuals were targeting the family, frustrations grew as they felt local law enforcement was not doing enough. Allegations and concerns surrounding the Franke children's well-being did not dissipate. Over the subsequent months, calls to both the police and CPS poured in, alleging potential mistreatment of the children. The family's situation took a severe turn when their youngest son, Russell, was found with physical signs of maltreatment. Escaping from family therapist Jodi Hildebrandt's home in Ivins, Utah, where he was staying with his mother and sister, Eve, Russell reached out for help. With grave injuries, malnourishment, and tales of abuse, Russell's revelations led to an immediate response from the Santa Clara-Ivins Police Department. As a result, both Ruby and Jodi were arrested on charges of aggravated felony child abuse. Held at the Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility, both await their plea. Meanwhile, Kevin Franke, who had left the family home a year earlier, remains uncharged. Corrington voiced his concerns over the systemic failings, stating, "It's unfortunate that it takes some of these extreme situations for the government to intervene. You certainly have to ask the question, why did this fall through the cracks in our system?" As the case unfolds, many are left questioning how such a well-known family, with millions of viewers, could be at the center of such an alarming scandal. For many, Shari, the couple's estranged eldest daughter, summed up the collective feeling with a simple Instagram Story showing officers outside their family home with the caption: "Finally." This scandal serves as a crucial reminder of the potential discrepancies between the polished facade of online personalities and the realities of their offline lives. In the digital age, where influencers and vloggers dominate social spaces, the need for discernment and vigilance becomes even more paramount. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The façade of social media fame can be beguiling. But what happens when the lives of our favorite influencers unravel, revealing a disturbing and possibly criminal side? Ruby Frank, the once-celebrated YouTube personality and mommy blogger with an audience of 2.5 million, has come under intense scrutiny following troubling reports that hint at a horrifying reality behind her curated online presence. In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, Neama Rahmani, an attorney and former Federal prosecutor, delved deep into the allegations surrounding Frank. The image painted was chilling: a child with wrists and ankles bound in duct tape fleeing to a neighbor's house seeking help. This incident has raised eyebrows and sparked an avalanche of questions. Was this an outlier event, a misjudgment on Frank's part, or the tip of an iceberg revealing years of systematic abuse? "Obviously these are just allegations, but if they're true, there's a special place in hell for people that abuse children, especially their own children," Rahmani commented. Drawing on his extensive background in prosecuting child abuse cases, Rahmani underscored the gravity of the situation. He mentioned the severity of the allegations and compared them to the worst cases he had encountered during his tenure as a prosecutor. "Sex crimes against children, production of child pornography, severe physical abuse... it's really sort of terrible stuff," he reflected. But it's not just Ruby Frank that is under the magnifying glass. Jody Hildebrandt, Frank's business associate and friend, is implicated in the allegations. Both are being held without bail. The case has multiple facets: not only the criminal component of the alleged abuse but also the welfare of the children, who have been taken into protective custody. The saga takes another twist with the husband's claim of ignorance about the abuse. While Ruby was residing with Jody Hildebrandt in a different state during the time of the allegations, questions loom about the husband's potential complicity during the years of Frank's mommy blogging. Rahmani illuminated a critical aspect of criminal law in this context: "This is one of those situations where you can be held criminally liable for a failure to act." He further elucidated that turning a blind eye is not a defense. Parents have an inherent duty to protect their children. Considering the widespread reach of Frank's YouTube channel, Brueski raised a pertinent point, questioning how common such situations are where one parent might be the perpetrator and the other merely a silent observer, possibly living in fear. Rahmani noted that while scenarios differ, if abuse is taking place in a household, it's crucial to scrutinize both partners. "When you're dealing with a case like this with abuse of multiple kids, you gotta look at both spouses, no question," he emphasized. Yet, as distressing as the allegations are, another layer of concern emerges: Why did authorities not act sooner? The couple's adult daughter has reportedly been trying to draw attention to her family's situation for some time. Despite a few visits by Child Protective Services (CPS), there was no substantial intervention. Rahmani lamented the inefficiencies of social services, citing issues of training, resources, and occasional negligence. Are influential figures better equipped at hiding their dark secrets? "The parents are good, you know. Sexual assault, domestic violence, these are two of the most underreported crimes in the country," Rahmani observed. He stressed the challenges of prosecuting these crimes, particularly when they involve children, and underscored the magnitude of the issue, emphasizing the vulnerability of kids and the difficulty they face in reporting abuse, especially by their parents. As the legal processes unfold, we're left to grapple with a stark truth about the intersection of fame, social media, and reality. Behind the glamorized façade of some influencers might lie stories so dark that they defy belief. Is it then time to ask: How much do we truly know about the lives of those we follow so avidly online? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Is it possible that behind the camera lens of some of our favorite family influencers lies a disturbing reality? Recent shocking revelations surrounding YouTube personalities, Ruby Frank from 8 Passengers and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, have left fans and audiences worldwide grappling with disbelief and betrayal. The arrest of the duo followed a chilling 911 call, in which a 12-year-old boy, identified as one of Ruby's children, appeared at a neighbor's home - emaciated, wounded, and bound with duct tape. "This one, I don't know if it should shock me or not, but it kind of does considering the following that she had," remarked Tony Brueski, host of the podcast "Hidden Killers", during a recent episode. Brueski and his guest, Defense Attorney Bob Motta from Defense Diaries, delved deep into this alarming incident, attempting to reconcile how a seemingly strict 'old school' parent who once broadcasted minor parenting faux pas could escalate to such horrifying actions. Evidence of the alleged abuse came to light when "the kids start coming forward", Motta mentioned. Ruby's YouTube channel had showcased her strict parenting techniques in the past. An incident where her six-year-old was responsible for her lunch and was publicly chastised for forgetting it raised eyebrows. While some viewers perceived it as Ruby teaching her children life lessons, others were quick to criticize her approach. The lines between stern parenting and outright abuse seem blurred for many, and unfortunately, some influencers might be pushing these boundaries to dangerous extremes. In discussing the difference between teaching children accountability and outright neglect, Motta highlighted, "There are parents that still abide by, you know, spare the rod, spoil the child type of mindset, a long way from like when I was growing up." However, what remains more confounding is the consistent absence of intervention. Despite allegations and complaints, including some from Ruby's own 20-year-old daughter, Child Protective Services (CPS) failed to act. As Motta emphasized, these children are not toddlers. They have a voice, yet for some reason, it was overlooked, echoing haunting similarities to other cases of children being unheard, like that of Lucy Studi. Motta, while comparing this situation, said, "Like how scary and frustrating that must be for children who are just not being heard." Adding another layer of complexity, Jodi Hildebrandt's involvement, Ruby's business partner, and the complicity of Ruby's husband, who claims to have been unaware of the ongoing abuse, paints a grim picture of children caught in a web of adult manipulation. Yet, as this investigation progresses, truth and justice may be on the horizon. With the victims themselves acting as witnesses, Motta reassured listeners, "We do have very much eyewitnesses as to exactly what was going on in that house and for how long and by whom. So if it's a secret, it's not going to stay secret for long." As followers of family influencers, this case acts as a haunting reminder that all might not be as it appears. For the children involved, the hope is that justice will prevail, and they will finally find peace after years of torment. As the digital age thrusts parents into the spotlight, where do we draw the line between harmless content and the potential exploitation or even abuse of children?

In June of this year, I was contacted by true-crime author, Jamie Collins, who sent me a press release about a new book she was publishing, I am Abigail. The press release was extensive, but for an explanation about the book, here is just a portion of the release that I received: Written in the first person from Abby's perspective, I AM ABIGAIL is the result of an intense creative collaboration, a memoir striking for its unflinching honesty and emotional intimacy. Abby tells her story, starting with her earliest memories at age eight, when she was Abigail Rodriguez and living with her single mother, older (by two years) sister, and younger (by one year) brother in a house filled with people laughing, dancing, kissing, drinking, and smoking all day and night. As a girl, Abby had no idea that her home was a crack house. She remembers her mom urging her to stand up on the coffee table in their living room and dance for the men. And she remembers the day in May of 1988 when a caseworker from Child Protective Services (CPS) knocked on the door of their home and took Abby and her siblings away. After a brief stay in a shelter, Abby learns that she and her sister and brother will be flying on an airplane to Hawaii. That's where her Uncle Chevo lives, and he and his wife, Laura, have agreed to assume care of his half-sister's three children. Sad about leaving Texas and her mom forever but also excited about living on an island, Abby begins to wonder, Is there a big yard to play in? Will I have my own room? On their last night sleeping at the shelter, Abby keeps tossing and turning in her bed. Suddenly, she has a memory of the last time she saw her uncle. She was five or six, and her whole family was having fun together, swimming in a pool at a hotel in El Paso. After her mom left to walk her brother and sister back to their hotel room, Abby and her uncle remained in the water, alone together. Uncle Chevo looked directly at Abby and said, “One day, I am going to marry you.” Even then, Abby felt confused and unsettled. She had no inkling of the evil that would soon be making its way to her. By way of publicity for the book, Jamie offered the opportunity for me to record an interview of Abigail and Jamie for my podcast. It sounded like an offer I shouldn't refuse, so…I didn't. This decision would prove to be an opportunity that I am truly grateful for! I cannot recommend for you to listen to this episode enough; it is intriguing, informative, sad...but mostly immensely critical and important to get this information out to you, my listeners. This story is important on many levels: educationally about the dynamics of child familial sexual abuse; the sometimes-lacking response of agencies whose job it is to protect children; and the ease of which society can neglect to see a huge problem for what it is. Listen to this episode. Then buy I am Abigail on Amazon. Then tell everyone you know about this episode. Please rate and subscribe to this podcast. And as always…Start by Believing. Because we all know someone whose life has been affected by rape or sexual assault. A great big thank you to Abigail Alvarado and Jamie Collins for the interview!

In Bernalillo County, New Mexico, 68 children under the age of one overdosed on fentanyl in 2022 alone. How did this happen? And how can we fix it?In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by Maralyn Beck, founder and executive director of the New Mexico Child First Network. Maralyn explains how New Mexico's “public health approach” to babies born substance-exposed is leading more children be left in dangerous home environments with no supports or accountability. Under (CARA), the federal government made states responsible for implementing ‘plans of care' for mothers and children who test positive for drugs at birth. New Mexico took a non-punitive public health approach: A 2019 law that barred medical professionals from referring families to Child Protective Services (CPS) solely because of parental drug use or infant drug exposure. Maralyn tells the story of a nurse whose report was ignored by CPS after ra baby's parents were caught smoking fentanyl twice in the hospital. To address this crisis, Maralyn advocates universal screening of infants for substance exposure.. Drug use makes parenting harder, and now is the time for policymakers to provide parents with a path out of addiction and into family stability.Resources: • Parenting While High | Naomi Schaefer Riley | City Journal • Child Welfare's Ideological Enforcer | Naomi Schaefer Riley | City JournalShow Notes:• 03:50 | A failing public health approach to CARA• 10:08 | Estimating the number of newborns in New Mexico born drug exposed• 11:01 | Child Protective Services ignoring reports from hospitals• 15:00 | Who is legally responsible for these drug-addicted infants?• 16:07 | Comparing approaches to CARA
Deployed attorney, Connie Reguli, has been helping families fight the corruption of Child Protective Services (CPS) for the past 25 years. Founder of the Family Forward Foundation, Connie is dedicated to educating families on how to protect themselves from the government's intrusion and training parents to advocate for legislative changes. She has dedicated her life to exposing the scandalous connection between CPS and the mysterious vanishings of thousands of children across the nation. In addition, Connie discovered overwhelming financial incentives for taking children out of their homes and shoving them into the foster care system. Strangely, reports of physical or sexual abuse accounts for only 15 percent of children removed from their homes and shoved into foster care. TAKEAWAYS Many children who are adopted into foster families disappear - nobody knows what happens to them or where they land up The foster care system is like a “middle class welfare program” that is funded by state and federal tax dollars More than 300,000 children per year go into the foster care system The Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 put a price tag on every child's head to remove them from their home and put them into the foster care system
Are you tired of being trapped in an economic system that benefits only the elites? Do you long to break free from the invisible chains that bind you? It's time to join a movement that aims to restore power and control to the people. By standing together, we can expose the hidden forces at play and pave the way for a better future. Your contribution, no matter how small, can significantly impact our fight for justice and freedom. Today, we are so fortunate to have Robert Michael, a respected member of the Divine Inheritance Defense Team on the Offensive (DIDTOO). As a renowned speaker and thought leader, Robert brings forth profound perspectives and eye-opening examples to help you understand the profound influence of economics on your personal freedom and choices. He empowers individuals to delve deeper into the dynamics of economics and break free from the chains that hold them back. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to uncover the truth about economic slavery and ignite the spark of change within yourself. Join us on this transformative journey, and together, let's create a world where every individual can thrive, independent of oppressive systems. Quotes: “People don't realize that when someone else owns the money system, and you're being given their money to use, you don't own anything, it's really that simple.” – Robert Michael “When that certificate is invested from or that registration from birth, when it's invested, and no one has stepped up to say that they're the priority interest holder in that account in that created organization, the state has no choice but to take it and protect it.” – Robert Michael “We're not only making a claim, it's called staking your claim and We're going to stake our claim on it and let them know.” – Robert Michael “It stands to gain your freedom because every one of you is worth millions of dollars that you're being robbed of, and forced to work jobs that you can't stand [and] under the idea that you need to make money to live when you're making money every day for them, which belongs to you.” – Robert Michael Key Takeaways: Economic debt slavery is where individuals are trapped in a system controlled by a small group of people who own the money system. This system perpetuates the idea that individuals don't truly own anything, as the control lies with those who control the money supply. Central banking and debt explain that governments do not have money but rely on loans from central banks. This creates a cycle of debt, where the government passes on the debt to the people. The Federal Reserve is an example of a central bank providing notes (obligations) to the United States, creating a national debt. Reorganizing debt and impending banking crash: There is a mention of an upcoming banking crash, speculated to be a method of reorganizing debt and introducing new government currencies. Collateralization of personal information that various documents and registrations, such as social security numbers, birth certificates, and licenses, are being collateralized and traded in private mutual fund investment accounts. The government monetizes personal information and legal documents: The state capitalizes on court cases, driver's licenses, and birth certificates by placing them into mutual funds, generating substantial profits from individuals' names without their knowledge or consent. The ongoing struggle can be traced back to the Civil War, which primarily revolved around financial obligations rather than slavery. The government continues to make citizens pay their debts, while creating a democratic corporation that acts as a vendor to the federal government, undermining the republican form of government. By understanding the mechanisms of the financial system, individuals can reclaim their authority. Recognizing that the government relies on citizens' credit to function, people can eliminate debt and demand transparency, aiming to protect themselves, future generations, and their environment. Individuals should avoid claiming and staking their rightful ownership over personal assets and identities. Individuals can establish their authority and protect their rights by challenging implied ownership and demanding proof. It is crucial to question the jurisdiction under which authorities operate. Differentiating between constitutional and corporate jurisdictions helps unveil the mechanisms by which personal information and accounts are controlled. When dealing with Child Protective Services (CPS) or law enforcement agencies, it is essential to respond strategically. Individuals can safeguard their privacy and avoid potential pitfalls by asking specific questions and requesting proof of authority. The law in action emphasizes the importance of understanding an officer's authority and ensuring their actions align with legal requirements.

We deserve to live in a world where peace, abundance, and the well-being of our loved ones are not compromised by a system that perpetuates scarcity and concentrates power in the hands of a select few. The current economic structure, controlled by a small group of individuals who wield disproportionate influence over nations and resources, has created a cycle of control and oppression. We cannot continue to tolerate a system that prioritizes the interests of the few over the well-being and prosperity of the many. It is time to unite and demand a fundamental transformation of this broken system. Breaking the chains of economic slavery will require collective action, education, and a commitment to dismantling the structures perpetuating inequality and injustice. It will not be an easy journey, but history has shown that real change is possible when people come together with a shared vision.

Show Notes: Rachel Berger and Will Bachman talk about Rachel's journey since graduating from Harvard. Rachel graduated with a degree in biochemistry and moved to New York City to attend Columbia medical school. She moved to Pittsburgh for her residency and ended up staying for 27 years. After completing her residency, she did a fellowship in general academic pediatrics in Braddock, Pennsylvania. Rachel took a job at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in a new division for child advocacy as a child abuse pediatrician. She eventually became board certified in the field when it became a subspecialty. Rachel then advanced in her career to become a tenured professor in 2016. After nine years as the leader of the division of child advocacy, Rachel stepped down in September of 2022 and is now focusing on clinical research and advocacy for children. Establishing the Child Advocacy Centre Child abuse work in the United States has been around since the mid-1970s, when laws were passed which mandated reporting of child abuse but it wasn't a subspecialty until 2009. Establishing this subspecialty and law to report was in response to the number of children who were abused and sent back into a situation that was often fatal. The Child Advocacy Center was set up at the hospital and employed physicians, nurses, social workers and forensic interviewers to ensure that this would not happen again. The subspecialty combines expertise in pediatric and orthopedic medicine, as well as knowledge in communicating with criminal courts and family courts to help keep children safe. Unfortunately, it is the most underfunded and understaffed of any pediatric subspecialty in the country. However, there are fellowships and other resources available for medical students and residents interested in this field. Recognising and Reporting Child Abuse Rachel explains that there are several different paths a child may take to get to see a child abuse pediatrician. These may include being referred by a hospital, Child Protective Services (CPS) if the child turns up at the Emergency room. Schools are a major source of reports, as teachers often have a close relationship with the children they are supervising, and can be more likely to spot possible abuse. Sometimes a family member may reach out. If abuse is suspected, the school or other responsible body can call the child abuse pediatrician to access their expertise. Rachel talks about how the specialists determine if abuse is taking or has taken place but they put support and services in place that, hopefully, help the children and family. To help recognise whether a child is the victim of abuse, Rachel suggests checking the TEN-4 FACES P mnemonic to identify any signs of abuse that may be serious. The Prevalence of Child Abuse While it is difficult to determine the number of abuse cases since most children don't or won't talk about it until they are adults, the official data states that around one in seven girls say they have been victim of sexual abuse before they reached the age of 18. She also states that there is a myth that you can “tell” the perpetrators of abuse, and that parents who abuse their children don't love them. Sometimes, it's anger control issues, or even discipline gone awry. Rachel also reflects on the importance of communication between medical experts and child protective services, social workers, attorneys, and police. This can be difficult because they don't understand the medical information. She talks about how the subspecialty of child abuse pediatrics had developed to advocate for children in court. It was seen as a combination of different elements, such as the increasing evidence base and the need for experts to advocate for children. However, there was a concern that other pediatrician reporters may become less involved if the subspecialty was created. There is concern that this could lead to a dangerous precedent where the responsibility for reporting child abuse cases is removed from other pediatricians because they don't think it's their job to do so. The advantages of having a child abuse pediatrics subspecialty is that there has been a growth in high quality research, and that the NIH has now funded a child abuse pediatric research network. However, Rachel is concerned that there are not enough people going into this field and that this could lead to a lack of access to people with expertise in this field. She suggests that the high bar of board certification might be discouraging people from people covering a small area of child abuse. Overall, they believe that the subspecialty has been a benefit to children and research, but that there is still a need for more people in this field. Rachel has focused her research on how to better identify physical abuse in its early and mildest forms to prevent catastrophic injury. She mentions the Child Abuse Pediatric Research Network (CAP-NET) as a resource for research and noted that it has numerous projects looking into better ways to identify risk, concerning injury, and intervene in cases of physical abuse. Rachel explains how electronic records and machine learning can help track and identify cases of abuse across different hospitals, locations, systems, and services. Socio Economic Factors in Child Abuse Rachel discusses policy surrounding child protection and laws established to do so. Research has proven that fatalities from child abuse are far higher than expected and this has led to the need for protective laws to be passed. She goes on to talk about the difficulty of creating laws that protect both the child and the family from maltreatment or misjudgement, and what she offers suggestions on how the systems could be improved. She cites decreasing childhood poverty as the major factor in reducing abuse. She explains that 30% of kids in the United States are supported by Medicaid, but 70-80% of children involved in child welfare rely on it. While abuse does occur in wealthier families, it is much more common in lower socioeconomic classes, and neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment. To decrease child abuse, Rachel suggests using the earned income tax credit and housing vouchers as two ways to reduce the impacts of childhood poverty. Rachel shares examples of neglect, such as supervisory neglect, malnourishment, educational neglect, and medical neglect. She discusses physical abuse and sexual abuse, explaining that physical abuse often results in the child being admitted to the hospital for treatment, whereas sexual abuse is seen more often in an outpatient setting. Rachel also noted that sexual abuse often involves someone the child knows and trusts. Overall, the conversation highlighted the prevalence of different forms of child abuse and the need for society to address the issue. Working on The Obama Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities Rachel talks about her position as a research lead on the Obama Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities and why she was selected for the commission. The commission traveled to 17 places in the United States, including at least one Indian Reservation, and talked to different child welfare agencies, hospitals, police, and child advocacy centers. The commission's report focused on different types of child abuse and how communities respond to these situations. She was shocked to discover that communities were not seeking out information from other communities on how they were dealing with situations of abuse despite reports sent out from newspapers around the country about children who had died or nearly died of abuse. The commission put together a public report at the end, but it wasn't implemented due to the change in presidential administrations. Some of the recommendations from the commission have been implemented by the Casey Family Programs. Rachel reflects on how powerful the experience was, how it shaped the next step of her career, and how she learned a lot about politics and how it is involved in an area that should be beyond political machinations of the day. Courses and Professors of Influence Professors mentioned by Rachel include Doug Melton.

— You are experiencing an intentional life? Do you know what it really means to be intentional and what it is like to do think and act with intention? And most important, can we all live intentionally? Valeria interviews Kelsey Schad — she is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and holds a master's degree in psychology as well as master's in counseling from Houston Baptist University (HBU). During her time at HBU she completed a thesis on ‘Media Influence and Symptoms Associated with Eating Disorders, ‘ which led her to practice in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings that focused on mental health and addiction related disorders. Through this work she found purpose in advocacy and helping populations that are deeply stigmatized as well as underserved. She took this passion to a Residential Treatment Facility (RTC) where she provided therapy services to adolescent females in Child Protective Services (CPS) who had significant trauma history as well as maladaptive behaviors. Currently, Kelsey works at a Prosperity Counseling Services, which is a private practice in Katy, Texas. She specializes in trauma work and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization's Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Kelsey's passion is rooted in trauma and how attachment styles are impacted. She finds significant value in understanding how we learn to love and how we integrate ourselves into relationships by exploring childhood unmet needs, lack of praise, emotional neglect, and high achievement expectations.

The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.
On this episode, Amber and Erika discuss Child Protective Services (CPS) and its often overlooked role as a powerful ally and agent of law enforcement. Along with our guest, Amanda Wallace of Stop CPS, a former CPS investigator in North Carolina with over a decade of experience, we are diving into how CPS is often biased against Black families and disproportionately exercises its power to the detriment of Black children. Amanda walks us through the history of CPS, revealing its racially discriminatory roots, and then shares with us first-hand accounts of how policies and procedures can mix with systemic racism to harm Black people. Amanda also offers practical tips that families can employ if they are ever under CPS investigation and alternatives to CPS that are more beneficial and responsive to vulnerable families. Take a listen to get the inside scoop!
Expanding your family through adoption may seem overwhelming. Often circumstances out of your control have led you to this fork in the road. How do I get started? How long will the process take? What is the involvement of the biological parents? Do I want to adopt domestically or internationally? Do I want to adopt a child from the foster care system or through a private adoption? How much does adoption cost? How do I place my child for adoption? Can my spouse adopt my child from a previous relationship? Can biological parents change their decision and have their child returned to their custody? How do adoption agencies work? The questions are near endless. This book will cover these topics and guide you, so that you can make the best decisions to grow your family through adoption. You will be prepared, competent, and confident to make the first step in your adoption journey and with every step along the way. Stacy Gleaton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico and Texas. She has worked in multiple social work settings over the years. One such social work job was with Child Protective Services (CPS) in New Mexico, where she first professionally learned about foster care and adoption. Stacy then continued to conduct home studies, but this time in the private sector. In 2015, Stacy began working with the military population and found it to be generally mistaken as a poor resource for an adoptive family; she enjoys advocating for military families in their adoption journey. As a Christian, Stacy has found many similarities between adoption and her relationship with God. It is her hope that this book will give you the comfort and competence needed to begin your adoption journey! Stacy loves to hear and learn from adoptive families, so please email her at Stacy.LCSW@gmail.com.
In 1980 - the federal government enacted the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act. This act created and gave seeping powers to Child Protective Services (CPS).The state creates the breakdown of family through law, policy, and court opinion - and then brings in their statist "remedies."The sermon was preached on the day Pastor Matt's 19 year old daughter Rochelle-Rose was married. 41 min.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Jay Rosenthal, a Child Welfare Consultant and a former Child Protective Services (CPS) investigator. He explained how he founded CPSprotect Consulting Services, a first of its kind consulting firm designed to help families prepare for and navigate CPS investigations strategically. Mr. Rosenthal discussed CPS Intrusion vs. Going to Court, how to handle CPS coming to your door and false allegations. He also explained how CPS investigators have qualified immunity and statistics. In 2017, 37.4% kids come in contact with CPS (4 out of 10 children). Advocates/Activists, Jay Rosenthal explained, are focusing on Title IV-E funding, in some respect they are right but are getting the target wrong. The reasoning for this is Title IV-E of Social Securities act for funding for prevention services and foster care reimbursement through the states. Most states contract out foster care and prevention services to private/non-profit agencies which are contracted by CPS, these are very lucrative, expensive contracts. Because CPS is conducted by the government these contracts are in essence, political. When that happens the agencies that get these contracts, tend to be friends of the officials signing the contract. The way that these contracts are paid for is reimbursement through the government through Title IV-E.

A case in Idaho around baby Cyrus being taken from his family by Child Protective Services (CPS) is bringing attention to the financial incentives and extralegal powers states have when taking children from their parents. We spoke with the family and a lawyer involved in the state's seizure of baby Cyrus and found that in such cases, parents lose basic legal protections including the right to a jury and the burden of proof, and that families are often placed under gag orders to prevent them from speaking. Diego Rodriguez, grandfather of Baby Cyrus, said, “This truly is state-subsidized child trafficking. There's no way to whitewash, this is exactly what it is.” We also discovered the financial incentive given to states in cases involving the taking of children. Rodriguez said, “In this case, the federal government is paying Idaho to steal, kidnap, abduct—whatever term you want to use—babies from people's families, innocent families.” And we discovered this is an issue that isn't limited to just Idaho. It's an issue found throughout the United States. Attorney Colton Boyles said, “I really think this is going to resound across the United States when people realize that this can happen to anyone.” ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

This episode of Mommying While Black™ discusses how families are being ripped apart through a phenomenon known as legalized medical kidnapping. If you live in America, are black, and have children under the age of 18, each trip you make the an urgent care, emergency room, standard pediatric visit puts your child/children under the lens of intense scrutiny and your family the casualties of medical kidnapping i.e. Child Protective Services (CPS) taking all minors in the household. In far more sinister and gut-wrenching cases, parental rights are severed forever through the American judicial system. Sadly, your family could be next. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) is the leading organization for physician board certification. As such, ABMS provides the "expertise, insights and support to elevate the discipline of specialty medicine." (https://www.abms.org/about-abms/) . In 2006, ABMS began to recognize the subspecialty in medicine known as child abuse pediatrics. Dayton Children's Hospital. May 31, 2021. A place and date that has forever changed the lives and trajectories of four human beings--A'mir and Aniyah so new to being Earth-side and Arianna and D'rontae--newly engaged, new entrepreneurs, new first-time parents, planning for a new life in Florida...the newness is now marred with trauma, baseless allegations, and excruciating emotional turmoil. In this episode, MWB sits down with Arianna Brooks, a mother fighting the state of Ohio and CPS to regain custody of her nearly 7-month-old twins, A'mir and Aniyah. The twins were merely 2-months-old when both children were removed from the custody of Arianna and her husband, D'rontae. This is the most heartbreaking story of a young entrepreneurial mother and father desperately exhausting all resources--financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically to regain care, custody and control of their newborn babies. A GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for Arianna and D'rontae to retain competent, dedicated, and fearless medical experts to challenge CPS and the child abuse pediatrician's claim of physical abuse inflicted upon A'mir and Aniyah at the hands of their parents. Please share their story and donate. No donation is too small. The family has a goal of $10,000 and are at $5,162.

Welcome back to the people who are ready to see change. On this episode, Amanda and Tafarrah, co-founders of Operation Stop CPS, update listeners on the Movement to Protect Parents Rights and Bring Our Babies Home. For far too long, families have suffered in silence after having their precious babies unjustly removed from their care by Child Protective Services (CPS). On September 15, 2021, Operation Stop CPS, We Have a Right to Be Right, and Protect the Starseeds began the 1st ever 11 Days of Activation to launch this nonviolent resistance movement to protect our babies. The purpose to the 11 Days of Activation is to raise the awareness for the illegal kidnapping of children from safe and loving homes by CPS. As part of the 11 Days of Activation, parents and community allies joined the movement to demand that this system Bear Witness to its own abuse of families. No longer can this system turn a blind eye to the trauma it inflicts on innocent families. The Bear Witness Activation is a statement made on behalf of families that enough is enough. In the beginning, we started Bear Witness Activations in 4 states. Those 4 states represented 5 families whose babies have been illegally kidnapped by CPS. 10 more states activated throughout the 11 Days of Activation and countless families have come forward to expose the corruption families are facing daily at the hands of this oppressive system. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in order to stop CPS from continuing to dismantle and destroy the family unit. Operation Stop CPS is a movement to protect families from the Child Protection System. The movement focuses on exposing the harms of CPS and creating change campaigns for families that are currently forced to interact with the system. As a community, we can, and we must unite to solve this problem.

In this episode, MWB sits down with Brittany Budlove, a mother fighting the state of Florida and CPS to regain custody of her 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Teigan. Teigan was only 9-months-old when she was taken away from her mother in December 2019. Brittany was permitted 1-hour/week with Teigan and when the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, Brittany's visits became virtual visits with her beautiful, infant daughter. By spring/summer 2020, the virtual visits ceased. No criminal nor civil charges have ever been filed against Brittany. However, the state of Florida found it justifiable to grant an expedited request to terminate Brittany's parental rights to Teigan. December 2021 will mark two LONG years since Brittany has had custody of Teigan or spent any meaningful amount of time with her always smiling, bubbly daughter. A GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for Brittany to retain a competent, proficient, family law attorney and secure medical experts. Please share Brittany's story and donate.

Christine Priola, OT, on the right in the Vice President's Office of the Senate during the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol in Washington, DC On January 6, 2021, a group of people, radicalized by false propaganda generated by the 45th President of the United States and his co-conspirators, attacked the United States Capitol with the intent to kidnap and/or murder members of Congress and the Vice President. This is an event that will live in infamy for so long as America remains a nation, and be blamed for it if it does not. I've been working in special education advocacy, helping parents protect their children with disabilities from physical, emotional, and educational abuse/neglect by the public sector, primarily the public school system, since 1991. By now, you would think there's nothing new for me to see when it comes to all the ways that adults can do wrong by those among us with disabilities. Clearly, I was wrong. These recent events at the national level have left me with a whole new set of concerns that I believe are important to talk about, right now. Not the least of these concerns is the fact that a profoundly mentally ill president, along with his pathologically self-serving sycophants, exploited the suffering of some Americans with mental illness and the unfounded sense of entitlement experienced by other Americans with mental illness. In the end, it's a bunch of people with mental health issues frenzying like piranha at the smell of blood in the water and taking down the rest of us with them. The inmates are literally running the asylum, right now, and the survival of us all rests on the shoulders of those of us intact enough to realize what is happening, and equipped to deal with it. For the last 30 years, it's been my observation - and one I've repeatedly shared - that there are individuals employed within the public education system who believe children with disabilities are expendable and unimportant. In a sea of deprived students in general, special education students are uniquely further deprived because of their disabilities. It's been my observation that these individuals see their constituents - in this case, our children - as a means to their own personal financial ends, and nothing more. When the costs of educating these constituents increases due to disability, they become a hated burden to those looking to profit off them. It's not like the public education system is doing that great by any of our kids, right now. It's just that problems that impact education in general tend to have a magnified effect on our kids with special needs. Public school officials will say things like, "My heart is bleeding for your child. I wish there was something I could do," when there's totally something they could do. They just don't want to pay for it, which is unlawful. Special education laws would have not become necessary back in the 1970s if it were not for the fact that people who do not believe in science or law were already employed in positions of authority within the public education system and engaging in unconstitutional conduct towards children with disabilities at that time. The public schools would refuse to enroll these students at all or, even if they did, let them languish in general education classes until they dropped out. In spite of compulsory education laws, back in the day, it was totally okay to drop out of school if you couldn't keep up with the instruction and nobody would come after you for truancy. This was what happened to a lot of people with relatively mild challenges, like learning disabilities, who ended up reaching adulthood functionally illiterate and unable to find gainful employment except as factory workers, coal miners, and all the other dangerous jobs that don't require academic skills, in spite of their normal intelligence. I provided adult literacy instruction to this population at a local vocational/technical college as a young adult in Arkansas. I've met these people. I've seen this play out, first hand. This has led to a class of individuals who have increasingly lost the ability to support themselves, as robots take over dangerous jobs that don't require real thinking. While the laws that passed in the 1970s were the right place to start, it's foolish to think that enough has changed since then that the system isn't still biased against kids with special needs. If things had changed, I'd have worked myself out of a job a long time ago. The public education system is biased against any kid who isn't white, male, and expected to inherit property upon reaching age of majority. It was created in its present form during the Industrial Revolution and hasn't changed much since. For the longest time, public education agency administration was male dominated while the teaching staffs were female dominated, putting men in authoritarian control over women employees. Teachers unions grew out of the very real discrimination and abuse of women in the public education workplace by their male "superiors" around the same time that unions gained popularity among the laborers working ot inher dangerous jobs in factories and mines. Students, however, have no collective bargaining power. Even though they are the reason the system exists, they are the last individuals served by it. They get whatever leftovers are left after public agency administrators bleed their agencies dry with undeserved six-figure annual salaries while teachers are buying classroom supplies with their own money. Students are just an excuse for politicians to pay themselves. So, the idea that discrimination and abuse do not manifest in the public education sector is plainly inaccurate. There are mountains of evidence to the contrary, my caseload being only one such mountain. The judicial and legislative history of special education law is not the total point, here, but it's relevant in that it establishes that bad actors in public education have made it necessary to regulate public education to control for their inappropriate behaviors. The evidence of bad faith in public education has been documented in the courts long enough that I don't have argue it, here. That's a done deal. So, when someone tells me they are worried about child welfare at the hands of government officials, I have to say, "Me too! That's why I'm a child and family advocate." However, now when someone tells me they are worried about pedophiles in public education, I have to do a double-take and ask, "Why?" That's only because of the whacky Q-Anon and similar conspiracy theories, now going around about Satanic cannibals molesting and trafficking children. It's not that human trafficking isn't real or horrible. It's that there is zero proof that it's being perpetrated by the people these conspiracy theorists are targeting. There is proof, however, that the 45th President was pals with a known, convicted pedophile and wished this pedophile's co-conspirator well when she, too, got arrested. He's also been accusing of raping a 13-year-old who was made available to him by this same duo of pedophiles, but these conspiracy theorists are not going after him. They think he is the champion of their cause, which defies logic in every possible way. Even if the allegations of child rape cannot be sustained against #45, he's sexually assaulted plenty of women and bragged about it on the record. How he's become the champion of a human rights cause given his history of sexual assault and his policies regarding the children of lawful asylum-seekers at our borders is beyond me. We have all seen news stories of the occasional teacher, aide, specialist, or administrator who gets busted for sexual relations with their students. It's not that pedophiles are not employed within public education; we know some have slipped in and we do a poor job of screening them out, often only finding them after the harm has been done. The more important point is that a ring of cannibalistic pedophiles do not run public education. The average school district administrator doesn't come anywhere near actual children. They don't appear to care for the company of children; they just want to exploit them for public dollars. While I don't doubt that there are people employed in public education administration who would gladly traffic in humans if they thought they could turn a profit and get away with it, that's a whole lot of work to make happen within the public education system and not get exposed. It's easier to milk the broken system as it is without taking on that risk. They can get rich by lazier means than selling their students into slavery. As soon as someone gets caught engaging in pedaphilia with students in the public education setting, most school districts are the ones that call the cops. If school district administrators come to an accused educator's defense, it's either because the educator was wrongfully accused or because the administrators don't want to be held accountable for the fact that they let a pedophile come work for their public education agency, so they're trying to convince everyone that they didn't. It's not that public education isn't being run by a pack of corrupt jackals. By and large, like local police departments, local school districts get away with as much as they do because they only answer to their local constituents, most of whom don't know how to monitor and audit a school district on an ongoing basis for compliance issues. Jackals are in gross abundance. Even the most ethical educators can be corrupted once they are promoted into administration, and I suspect most of that is economics. Once they start getting that six-figure annual salary, they start buying nice houses and cars, putting their kids through college, and going on expensive vacations. That quickly creates debt. If you have a six-figure income, you can pay that debt, but if you lose that income and can't replace it fast enough, you're quickly screwed. This is how good educators get pulled into the Dark Side of the Force when they accept promotions into administration. It's the rare pure soul that sees what's really going on and refuses to be manipulated that way before it's too late. The overarching problems I see in public school administration are about money, not pedophilia or cannibalism. I've yet to encounter cannibalism, actually, but it's only January 2021, so let's see if this year tops last year for the most disgusting conduct to be revealed among public servants for the whole world to see. What prompts me to discuss this, now, is the recent resignation of Christine Priola, an Occupational Therapist (OT) from Cleveland Metropolitan School District, one day before she participated in the January 6, 2021 insurrection against the American government. Ms. Priola occupied the Capitol building with other insurrectionists and was photographed in the Vice President's office as part of the occupation. In her resignation letter, Ms. Priola, who is currently out on bail pending trial, stated she was leaving her job as an OT for the District's special education department for three specific reasons: She refused to take the Corona virus vaccine before returning to in-person learning; She disagreed with paying union dues because she believes that money is funding abortions; and She's embarking upon a fight against child trafficking by government agencies. So, I'm going to pick these apart one by one, first, and then get into the rest of it. First, it's unclear if Ms. Priola is an anti-vaxer opposed to vaccines in general, is against the current Corona virus vaccine because it was rushed to market so quickly and she questions its safety and efficacy, or just resents being told she has to take a shot before she can go back to work. Maybe it's a combination of those things. We don't know why she was opposed to the vaccine, so I can't automatically lump her onto the science-denying anti-vaxer wagon with this limited amount of information, though her overall behaviors incline me to suspect that she could be an anti-vaxer. Because she's an OT, which is a scientific discipline that functions within the medical and educational realms, I don't want to assume too much, here. However, science is a fact-based discipline and Ms. Priola has not be operating according to facts. When we look at her second objection, the total absence of logic casts an unfavorable light on the first objection, even further. How union dues, which pay for the administrative overhead of each union's operations, somehow funds abortions makes no sense. The district may withhold those dues from educators' paychecks, but there is an audit trail that shows where that money goes. If you're worried about where the money is going, you do a request for public records asking for the accounting details and turn them over to a grand jury if you find that the money is being misappropriated. The rule of law already provides a remedy for the misuse of public funds. You don't raid the Capitol with the intent of hanging the Vice President to death to resolve issues such as these. The idea that the rule of law had collapsed to the point that it was ineffective cannot be argued, here. Ms. Priola did nothing on record to resolve the issue with where her union dues were going before resorting to the violent overthrow of the government and an effort to assassinate the Vice President. The government already had a legal remedy that she chose not to access and the "remedy" she opted for instead did not fit the situation. This strongly suggests disordered thought. It also, however, goes to the degree to which legitimate remedies to harm done are often inaccessible to everyday Americans because they can't afford to lawyer up every time the government shirks its responsibilities and hurts people. When the appropriate options are closed off to people, they are only left with the inappropriate ones. This is where peaceful protests for changes to the rules become such an important part of democracy, none of which involves insurrection or execution. Insurrection as a more expedient option to litigation speaks to the degree to which the legal system is often unavailable to most people because of the associated costs, but it's not a valid excuse for what Ms. Priola has done. Ease of access to remedy may have made it less likely that she wouldn't have done something literally insane, but that's speculative at this point. The third justification for resigning given by Ms. Priola was that she's embarking upon a fight to protect children from abuses by government employees. On it's face, I can't take issue with that because I've been fighting to protect children with disabilities - the same students Ms. Priola served as an OT - from abuses within the public education system for the last 30 years. Very often, though, I'm protecting them against people like Ms. Priola who are so divorced from science and, therefore, reality that they engage in violations that require me to file complaints with regulators. Again, the rule of law provides a remedy. The difference between Ms. Priola's efforts to protect children and mine is that I use science and law to protect my babies. She's trying to kill the members of Congress most likely to help her protect children from the real predators. I've never had to violently overthrow a government agency or hang anybody to protect a child from government employees. Has the rule of law let my babies down, before? Yes, in hugely significant ways. Has the rule of law protected my babies when I've pursued enforcement of it? Yes, more often than it has not. It's not a perfect system, but insurrection on behalf of the people responsible for undermining it is not going to fix anything. And, it's not like I haven't seen evidence of child trafficking in government agencies. I have, just not in public education. Specifically, I've been working on a separate justice project with our organization's founder, Nyanza, to address the egregious over-incarceration of African-Americans in Oklahoma that dovetails with what may be State-sponsored child trafficking. Based on the publicly available research data we've gathered to date, it appears there may be an orchestrated mechanism in place in which officials in the State of Oklahoma incarcerates people of color and remove their children from their homes through the Child Protective Services (CPS) system, only to place these children in privately owned foster care facilities and/or adoption agencies that operate for profit. It appears that at least some of the foster care and adoption agencies in Oklahoma that participate in this dynamic are owned, at least in part, by State officials responsible for passing and enforcing the laws of Oklahoma, from which they profit. It should be noted that Oklahoma's CPS system was found to have been responsible for the death, rape, and maiming of many children processed through this system via a federal class action lawsuit that resulted in a consent decree that is not being properly enforced. CPS employees have come out as whistleblowers to advise that the "proof" of compliance with the consent decree is falsified information and Oklahoma isn't taking this federal court consent decree as anything other than one more thing to lie about. It should also be noted that all of the individuals involved in these behaviors appear to be Republicans, or they were at the time the data we collected were gathered. From what we've seen so far in our data, it appears that Oklahoma lawmakers and judges are incarcerating people so they can steal their children and sell them for profit. If true, that's a legitimate State-sponsored human trafficking ring that needs to be shut down immediately. But, it isn't a Satanic group of Hollywood actors and Democrats eating and raping children. While this possible human trafficking ring has not been investigated as such to my knowledge, thus far, it's one of those things that can't last forever without someone getting caught. Nyanza and I are working to get enough evidence together to get the situation investigated, and she's been filing documents this whole time, but that's how you address these things. We are availing ourselves of the mechanisms of our imperfect, but better than anarchy, democracy to fix this heinous problem. Whatever is responsible for Oklahoma's ridiculous incarceration and CPS numbers is a problem that needs to be fixed, regardless of what it is. This is painful because we know of families suffering horribly because of what is currently happening until this gets resolved, but justice can take time. I've learned that lesson from 30 years of working cases from IEP meetings all the way up to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and you don't always win. But, you always make a difference, even when you lose on some technicality. I've had cases where we lost on an issue, but just barely. The involved districts knew the next time they pulled the same stunt, they wouldn't necessarily get lucky again, and have changed their practices as a result. What I've learned from relying on the rule of law to address failures of the system is that you have to look at things in the aggregate. It becomes a measure of how many things I've prevailed on versus how many things I have not, and I've prevailed on more things than I haven't. Overall, my work is highly effective. On a day-by-day basis, it's a mixture of resolution and being obstructed by law-breaking public servants. You have to get to the point where you can identify when it's time to negotiate and when it's time to collect evidence and file a complaint of some kind. We have processes and procedures already to address all of the concerns raised by Ms. Priola's resignation letter, none of which involve insurrection and execution of elected officials. So, having said all that, now I have to turn to the issue of people who think like Ms. Priola who are still employed in public education. I first have to say that she may be in the minority, but we don't know how large or small that minority is because they have not been outspoken within the public education context, thus far. Further, because I have been dealing with disordered thought on the part of school district personnel that results in harm to children for the last 30 years, I'm willing to believe that people whose thinking is as impaired as Ms. Priola's appears to be are still deeply rooted in special education, right now. Whether their disordered thought makes them vulnerable to Q-Anon and similar propaganda or not isn't anything I can answer. But, Ms. Priola's departure from science in spite of her scientific training is consistent with much of what I see in special education when things go wrong. What this really comes down to is a concern that I've had for years and have spoken about with colleagues, but we haven't really figured out the most appropriate way to address it. What is happening now and the national dialogue around it may have finally opened a door to deal with this issue, and that issue is the societal impact of having so many members of our population who are apparently incapable of logical thought when it comes to abstract concepts like justice, democracy, and fascism. And, it circles back around to the quality, or lack thereof, of our public education system. One of the tools I regularly use, or request that it be used, in special education is a standardized assessment called the Southern California Ordinal Scales of Development (SCOSD). The history of what led to the SCOSD's creation is a story unto itself, but suffice it to say that it is a scientific way of measuring all the different domains of development according to Piaget's stages of development. The SCOSD breaks development down by subtest into cognition, communication, adaptive abilities, social-affective functioning, and motor skills. It is possible for an individual to function at a higher developmental level in one area than other areas. Each person's outcome on the measure paints a picture of their relative strengths and weaknesses across the developmental domains. When working with children and young adults with developmental disabilities, this becomes important to designing effective programs for each of them. What I've come to realize from the data I've seen produced by the SCOSD over the years is that it is possible for someone to have age-typical cognitive and communication skills, but then have below age-typical social/emotional functioning. What this means is that their emotional development is delayed while their abilities to acquire academic and job skills are intact. They can emulate adult behavior, but their motivations are child-like because of their delayed social/emotional functioning. When otherwise intelligent people get whipped up into an emotional frenzy over things not supported by any credible evidence, this disconnect between intelligence and social/emotional functioning is apparent. When otherwise intelligent people argue against evidence that they did something incorrectly, this same disconnect is again apparent. This disconnect is what I've been fighting over the years more than anything else. Any reasonably intelligent and socially/emotionally intact person would not engage in the kinds of crap I encounter in the public education system. Most of what I encounter in the public education system is the consequence of ineptitude, not a cabal of cannibals. If any kind of cabal exists in public education, it's the same one currently running the American Presidency into the ground. All of this makes me think of the right-wing folks in Orange County, California, who started a non-profit membership organization, self-described as a "brotherhood," of school district officials who would all pay membership dues and then use that money to finance legal battles against parents of children with disabilities. It also makes me think of Lozano Smith, a law firm that infamously (within special education circles) got eviscerated by a federal court judge after trying to lie, cheat, and steal in a special education due process appeal. The firm, the responsible attorneys, and the district it was representing all got sanctioned for jerking everybody, especially the court, around with their lies. All of the firm's attorneys were ordered to participate in additional ethics training, in addition to the reprimand and sanctions meted out by the court. At the time, Lozano Smith had over 200 attorneys on staff statewide throughout California. Shortly thereafter, most of them jumped ship and went to different firms or started their own firms. It's quite reminiscent of what we are seeing in Washington, DC, right now, as cabinet members and other high-ranking personnel turn their backs on the outgoing President in the wake of all the destruction and death he has caused. Lozano Smith is still around, but I haven't encountered them in the field in several years. The last big thing I saw from them was in 2013 when my colleague, David Grey, prevailed on a case at the 9th Circuit against two school districts engaging in the same violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At least one of the involved districts filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it was shot down; the Supreme Court declined to try the case. When the Supreme Court appeal was first filed, Lozano Smith, which had been uninvolved at that point, wrote an amicus brief that looked like something that could have been produced by Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani. It made nearly hysterical arguments about how the 9th Circuit's interpretation of the ADA would undo decades of precedent within the public education system, as though decades of an established practice of discrimination should be maintained. The point is that the conservative "fringe" has never been the "fringe." To quote Stephen Colbert, "Lunatic fringe? There were tens of thousands of people in that murderous mob. The day after the riot, a poll found that 45% of Republican voters backed the attack on the capitol building. That's not a fringe! That's almost half the outfit! If you wore a suit that was 45% fringe, you'd be arrested for public indecency! But at least we'd be able to see through your pants to know you don't have any balls!“ Based on how scholars look at the political spectrum, conservatives have gone further and further to the right towards radicalization as the left has remained predominantly centrist. The far right looks at centrist politics and mischaracterizes them as the "radical left." Democracy is not the radical left. Conservatism is no longer part of democracy in this country; it's become a movement towards dictatorship in which 45% of the population believes it needs to be led by the nose by a demagogue. When left to think for themselves, these individuals run towards authoritarianism, thinking these leaders understand their needs and will fight for them, rather than exploit them to help take over and then kick them to the curb when they no longer serve a useful purpose. It's my suspicion that, once the people who participated in the insurrection realize that the 45th President will let them rot in jail for taking up his cause while he claims to have nothing to do with any of them, his base will finally get the backstabbing that has been coming their way this entire time and will realize he's not in their corner like they thought. We can at least hope getting stabbed in the back will have this effect. We're going to have to watch the prosecuted go through this epiphany over time as we try each of their cases one by one. The stories we're going to hear from these people are going to reveal legitimate unmet needs, impaired problem-solving skills, and exploitation of those factors by Republican terrorists looking to radicalize them. Those of these defendants with the mental wherewithal to realize they've been played and the emotional stability to own it will turn on those who exploited them, as have many former allies of #45, such as Michael Cohen. Those who don't have the emotional stability to own the fact that they made a mistake in judgment will continue to assert they've done nothing wrong and describe themselves as political prisoners rather than criminal insurrectionists and traitors. In the minds of the insurrectionists, as they've reported themselves, they were responding to the call of their President to defend democracy. If that's what you're really doing, defending democracy isn't bad. But democracy relies on the rule of law. You defend democracy by participating in it and putting its mechanisms into constructive use, not trying to overthrow it. If our democracy is not working for all of the people - and people of color, indigenous people, LGBTQ+ people, women of all stripes, and people challenged by disability can attest that it has not for a very long time - we need to fix it. What boggles the mind is that now that groups made up mostly of white males in this country are finally beginning to experience the lack of undemocratic entitlement and advantage they've historically known, their response to advocate for themselves is to engage in insurrection. This means that what they want is nothing a true democracy would ever give them, and that tells you all you really need to know about them. There is absolutely a silver lining in all of this, and I rely on Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) to inform that determination. In ABA, there is a term that I've discussed in previous posts called "Extinction Burst," and that's part of what we are looking at with the current state of things. In an Extinction Burst, a behavior that had previously been reinforced is no longer being reinforced, and the organism tries to force reinforcement to come by escalating its behavior. Think of it this way: If, every day, you put money in a vending machine and a candy bar comes out, the candy bar reinforces the behavior of putting money into the machine. But if, one day, the candy bar gets stuck and won't come out of the machine, what do we do? Walk away sad? No! We beat on the machine in an effort to make the candy bar dislodge and come out. That's an Extinction Burst. If the candy bar dislodges and comes out, it reinforces the behavior of beating up the machine. If beating the machine doesn't work, then you walk away sad. After than, you're less likely to use the machine again. If you stop using the machine altogether, the behavior of putting money into it becomes extinct. What is happening in this country with the radicalized right is an Extinction Burst. Behaviors engaged in by the right wing that were previously reinforced are no longer being reinforced. The behaviors of the 45th President, his co-conspirators, and his followers over the last five years, leading up to January 6, 2021, and what may still yet happen as the 46th elected President takes office, have been an extended Extinction Burst. The most important thing about an Extinction Burst when you're trying to extinguish an inappropriate behavior is that you cannot allow it to produce the reinforcement being sought. If you want someone to give up on the candy machine, there can be no way to beat the machine until candy comes out. We want the radical right to give up on trying to destroy democracy, so we cannot allow their behaviors to result in the reinforcement they are seeking, which, here, is to remain in power regardless of the will of the people. This includes holding them accountable according to the letter of the law. That's what I've been doing in my niche of governmental accountability for the last 30 years and it's the only way to preserve democracy going forward. The other silver lining, here, is that in spite of all their efforts to overthrow democracy, it's our democracy that will ultimately prevail. When we apply the rule of law to what they have done, democracy will have the opportunity to defend itself. What saddens and scares me the most is the number of people whose developmental weaknesses and mental health conditions are being exploited by the right wing to radicalize them into becoming domestic terrorists while convincing them they are upholding American principles through their terrorism. When we talk about the mental health problems in this country, we tend to point to homelessness and addiction issues, like this is the only way they can hurt us. As an advocate for people with disabilities, I am torn between being sad for and fearful of these individuals. On the one hand, we absolutely need to hold them accountable under the law. But, we prove the point that the system is skewed towards specific demographics when mentally ill right wing radicals suddenly get criminal consequences and nothing to address the real-world problems that they couldn't solve that propelled them into radicalism. In the end, once again, it's people with disabilities being used as political pawns by self-serving, undeserving, overpaid public officials looking to line their own pockets with taxpayer dollars as part of a grift. This is something I know all too well in special education. I'm willing to believe, in light of the evidence thus far, that decades of special education failures have produced an entire class of emotionally disturbed adults who are still vulnerable to the manipulations of public officials and that Ms. Priola and many of her compatriots are among them. I'm also willing to believe, in light of the evidence thus far, that the people manipulating them are just as mentally ill; they just have money and power. I will never pretend to have all the answers, here, but I do know a thing or two that can help. All of us do. We need to weave our efforts together to repair the fabric of our country and make it stronger than it was in the first place. It's not impossible. This country's founding was far more difficult than its current preservation and we can do this.

Virtually everyone agrees that children are at risk in society and need extra vigilance. Whether this is done by parents (through most of history) or the state (more recently) it is very common in the United States for government agencies to investigate allegations of child abuse. Child Protective Services (CPS) is the usual name for the state agencies tasked with protecting children who have been harmed or are living in dangerous environments. An example of a dangerous environment would be a family living on the streets or parents who are too drunk or strung out on drugs to properly care for the needs of their children. Other examples of abuse are more obvious like striking an infant or causing bruising or the breaking of bones. It is unfortunate that abuse ever occurs in any population but it is important to not only protect children but also be mindful of the consequences of taking those children out of the home and disrupting the family. How do you find a proper balance? My guest is Dr. Niran Al-Agba, a general pediatrician in Silverdale, WA who has been grappling with that question. As someone who has seen abuse and is charged with helping her patients (kids) she also recognizes the importance of keeping families intact and what it means for childhood development. So naturally she walks carefully the line for when to break apart a family and when not too. However, the case she presents is an example of what can go wrong when you give too much power to one institution without any checks. The CPS along with its 'employed' (she received grants) physicians were bent on accusing Dr. Al-Agba's patient's parents a lack of evidence did not slow them down. In fact, the abuse doctor (Dr. Woods) insisted that some bruising on the buttocks of an infant was definitely from abuse even though she never examined the patient and only saw a picture. Had she examined the patient she would have realized that the marks were actually far too small to have been caused by a hand as alleged. Fortunately, the family regained custody of their child but only after legal expenses and being separated from the baby for some time. The case is not unique and similar cases of misdiagnosis and/or sloppy doctor work occurs all over the country. Dr. Al-Agba believes that there are some measures we can use to improve the protections of families from CPS while still keeping kids safe: Standardize the CPS Investigation: Too often there is a randomness by CPS agents on whether to interview witnesses, parents, and others involved in the case. They don't always consult family physicians for backgrounds on families. Second Opinion Medical Exam: Rather than relying just on the exam of an abuse expert, CPS should have the family's primary care physician examine the child too. If the physicians disagree, then a third opinion should be sought out whether an abuse expert or someone else. SOAP Notes: We were taught in medical school to get histories, examine patients, and then arrive at an assessment and plan. Too often, there is just an exam without the physician making the determination on whether there is abuse without trying to determine if the family has a legitimate explanation. Tighter Boundaries on When to Pull a Kid from a Family: Finally, there need to be firmly established guidelines on when to remove a child from his/her family and a minimum standard of proof.

Tim Donnelly joins the program to share his story fighting Child Protection Services in California. As a former California State Assemblyman and as a candidate for Governor in 2014, he fought to audit the powerful state agencies that claim to be protecting children. He has many stories to tell of horrific abuses of power to out right greed and corruption. The actions of the agencies clearly show that the children are not the top priority.

Tim Donnelly Biography Tim Donnelly is a former California State Assemblyman—serving 2 terms and was a candidate for California Governor in 2014—coming in 3rd (winning almost 650K votes). As a former Minuteman leader in California, Tim is one of the foremost authorities on illegal immigration in the country. In 2010, Tim introduced a law similar to Arizona’s SB1070 law in California, ending sanctuary cities, increasing penalties for human trafficking of minors, requiring all employers to use e-verify, but in doing so, granting them protection from nuisance lawsuits, and requiring the enforcement of all immigration laws by state and local governments. In 2013, he led the charge to get Child Protective Services (CPS) audited after CPS in Sacramento County kidnapped a child because the mother wanted a 2nd medical opinion. That same year, Tim's bill AB351, the California Liberty Preservation Act of 2013, which nullifies the NDAA in California, was signed into law. Tim has been a staunch defender of our Civil Liberties, and there is no stronger advocate of the 2nd Amendment in California. In 2014, Tim led the charge in California to secure the release of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, including organizing a massive protest targeting the Mexican President when he came to Sacramento. The protest forced both Gov. Brown and President Nieto to acknowledge Sgt. Tahmooressi’s plight. Two months later, our Marine was released. On July 1st, 2015, Tim filed a referendum to repeal SB277—a bill that forces every school-aged child to receive all vaccinations on the schedule, or lose the right to attend a public or a private school in California. In spite of the very abbreviated timeline prescribed in state law to undo the damage they do to our natural rights, Tim organized thousands of volunteers, but fell short of the 366K signatures required, collecting 233K. In the end, the referendum served an important purpose in educating hundreds of thousands of Californians who were unaware, and gave a burgeoning, albeit disjointed movement time to grow and become more organized and connected. In 2016, Tim is featured in an important documentary on gun control. "Targeted--Exposing the Gun Control Agenda", which was shown in theaters across the nation, has just been released on DVD.

I recently recieved tons of comments and messages from cannabis using parents who wanted to share their encounters with Child Protective Services (CPS). This is one of the most important conversations we need to have about the plant as it becomes legal in more states. Hear the stories of these brave parents who faced CPS and listen to what they want other parents to learn from them. Oh, so about that open relationship chat with bae... I spill a bit more tea on this situation in this episode, too. MY BAD: I was stoned, and I accidentally misspoke in the beginning of the episode when I called Netflix's "She's Gotta Have It" the popular teen drama (which I love BTW) "She's All That."

Tonight's special guest is Charm Isom-Asenime, from Dallas, Texas, a survivor of child sexual abuse who's joining us for the first time to tell her story. After suffering molestation by a step-father from age 5-7, Charm was later molested by a second step-father from age 8-12. Concerning disclosure, she says, “I never told anyone, I actually spoke out about it during the #metoo movement. I've been depressed and suicidal because of my childhood trauma.” In her current life, Charm is a wife and mother to two children and has recently offered to volunteer as the Southwest Regional Director for NAASCA's Ambassador Project. She is also volunteering as a court appointed special advocate for CASA and is attending her first meeting this month. Two important issues to her are working to help change laws and for Child Protective Services (CPS) to be reformed. Her big dream that she plans to make a reality is to open a shelter for abused kids to provide the full spectrum of resources needed including medical, mental health, food, laundry, etc. "From what I've researched in the state of Texas," Charm writes, "There's not enough foster parents, so a lot of those kids who were brave enough to say something usually get sent back to their mom or dad." She continues, "I want to create a safe space for them that doesn't make them feel too uncomfortable." We are delighted to have Charm with us tonight we invite anyone to join in the conversation by calling in to the show and helping give a warm welcome to our new NAASCA family member!

Hello Renegade Nation. This show is part 2 of my previous show, Shocking Leaks by Intel Insiders on “Pedogate”. Joining me is Naughty Nicole, one of Renegade’s Network hosts, and I thank her for joining me! In this show we’re Connecting the Dots between the Child Protective Services (CPS) and their link to the pedophilia networks in this country. We also bring to light the investigation by former Georgia State Senator Nancy Shaefer. This woman’s dedication to exposing the CPS network and the link to the criminal corresponding networks such as the judicial and onward, was inspiring and rare. During her investigation Shaefer would reach out to other elected officials in various states for assistance and they all had to say no, fearing retribution. Senator Shaefer was pushed out of office in light of her deep investigation and exposure of this travesty, and sadly, Senator Shaefer was also murdered rather mysteriously in 2010. Nicole and I cover all of that. The links I provide here to watch the interviews of Nancy Shaefer and William Fain by Alex Jones back in 2009. They are shocking but very revealing. This is information everyone needs to hear! Here are the Links to watch these important videos: Nancy Schaefer & William Fain Investigate CPS Corruption: http://victuruslibertas.com/2017/02/interviews-with-nancy-schaefer-and-william-fain-regarding-the-corruption-of-cps/ and Nancy Schaefer on Alex Jones – CPS Criminality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwV5RM05bfE
If you suspect your child has been abused by the other parent, calling Child Protective Services (CPS) is a crucial step to take.

Wendy Greene: Child Kidnapping In America? What's The Real Truth About CPS? Wendy Greene is a fourth generation human and civil rights activist, writer/advocate for the victims of autism and homelessness, and author of the up-and-coming book "Justice". The Canary Stories are individual true accounts documenting the corruption and fraud of Child Protective Services (CPS) and similar agencies, sent from around the world by parents requesting that their voices be heard. The ongoing reports are named The Canary Stories after the life-saving canaries that protected the coal mines. Today, The Canary Stories are also sounding the warning in an attempt to save children, families and even lives. This Saturday, Lost Arts Radio will begin delving into new areas of health that have to do with our societal environment that is so important to our overall well-being. The safety and health of children is a high priority to people all over the world, and in America we have certain agencies such as Child Protective Services that are there to help us make sure the kids are safe. But something is going on with this organization that deserves attention. Too many horror stories from parents interacting with CPS are coming in to be mere coincidence. What is the reality of CPS and what it does for us in this country, similar to sister organizations in the U.K. and elsewhere? Wendy Greene is in a unique position to offer us some real life insight into this agency and its activities, not only by virtue of her own experience, but also because she is in communication with numerous families whose lives have been changed in ways almost beyond imagination by their interaction with CPS. The rest of us need to be fully aware of the real nature of this agency, for our own protection and to be able to lend support to the parents struggling to regain their children.
This is a story of how a once wonderful relationship ended up going horribly wrong. After airing our program on Parental Alienation, we received an email from David Ball, a listener in Texas. His story sounded so horrible and unbelievable that Steve Peck decided to follow up by phone to hear his side of the story. David tells his story of how his relationship disintegrated into an ugly divorce, in which he ultimately had his daughter taken away from him by Child Protective Services (CPS). David feels he did nothing to warrant CPS and the court system taking his daughter away from him and feels his lawyers and the judge let him down in this case. He has been financially devastated from legal expenses but plans to save what he can and continue the fight to win back the daughter he loves.
Alex Parks-Sudan, a child protective services worker, discusses fostering good relationships with CASA/GAL advocates.
