I left a nice comment there, subject to their approval-
"what is the price we are prepared to put on a healthy and productive future for our children and their children?"
An excellent question. The biological families are paying The Ultimate Price- the Death Penalty of their Family-
"Permanent termination of parental rights has been described as "the family law equivalent of the death penalty in a criminal case." In re Smith (1991), 77 Ohio App.3d 1, 16, 601 N.E.2d 45, 54. Therefore, parents "must be afforded every procedural and substantive protection the law allows."- WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING
The family is denied any semblance of Due Process in this completely unconstitutional system. See "What Happens in the FOG" - http://exm.nr/hfjvl9
The un-ratified Convention on the Rights of the Child was supplanted into American law by CAPTA '74 and subsequent legislation and is DE FACTO in force. See "Best interest of the child- A new "Civil Right"- http://familyrights.us/news/archive/2009/oct/best_interest.html
Meanwhile the CPS system employs extremely incompetent, nasty, and officious people whose accusations become the Evidence in a system where you are presumed Guilty.
This system is quite evil, and CASA volunteers can provide a "safety valve" if they choose NOT to just be a rubber stamp to whatever the CPS agents and their paid contractors say.
