Child neglect 'as harmful as abuse'
Adele Horin
December 27, 2010
The Age, New Zealand
CHILD neglect can be just as harmful to children's cognitive development as physical and sexual abuse, a new study shows.
But child-protection authorities do not treat neglect with the same urgency as other forms of child maltreatment.
The study of almost 4000 children aged 14 revealed that those with a history of reported abuse or neglect scored on average three IQ points lower than children who had not been maltreated.
And the children who had been neglected did just as poorly as children with a history of physical or sexual abuse.
....The study was published online this month in the medical journal Pediatrics.

Mother fights addiction and gets her son back
By Roseann Keegan
Special to the Tahoe Daily Tribune
I left a comment there-
This is the first time in eleven years I have seen an actual CPS "success story".
As a general rule, CPS destroys every life they touch- especially the children.
As co-founder of American Family Rights Association, we deal with the hundreds of thousands of people who were falsely accused and maliciously prosecuted in the unconstitutional courts of NO DUE PROCESS, where the accusation is the evidence, exculpatory evidence is not allowed, and the accused are Guilty without recourse to prove innocence.

Sexual dysfunction, divorce, out-of-wedlock birth depriving kids of stable homes

Family breakdown is threatening America's ability to lead the world, according to a new study released by the Family Research Council.
"A great nation depends on great families, but weak families will build a weak nation," writes FRC scholar Dr. Patrick Fagan in "The US Index of Belonging and Rejection"
"Bluntly put, the United States will not be able to maintain its leadership role in the community of nations unless its parents take a leadership role in the communities they have built: their families, which are the fundamental units of our society. If the United States desires to be a leader in the world, pursuing what is good for itself and other nations, its parents must first be leaders of their own homes and children,"* warns Fagan, director of FRC's Marriage and Religion Research Institute. FULL STORY
*PROBLEM- There is an absolute WAR going on against parents doing exactly that- because as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin said- "Destroy the family, you destroy the country."

The College Diploma Fraud
By Robert Weissberg
American Thinker
For more than a half-century, government has tried to close racial gaps in educational attainment. Sad to say, those gaps have proven intractable. Nevertheless, the impulse remains as heartfelt as ever (perhaps due to its financially lucrative character), but the emphasis is now shifting from actual learning to equality of graduation rates. President Obama has spoken of adding 5 million graduates to the workforce by 2020, and credential-mania is now all the rage. This shift is a disaster in the making; imparting knowledge is commendable, but just handing out diplomas is harmful deception. A cynic might aver that the shift from knowledge to graduation rates is a tacit admission that the gap-closing quest is futile. FULL STORY
As far as I am concerned, social work and psych degrees are credentials for utter idiots and communists. (It is well-known that social work and psych students are the stupidest kids on campus). See my old, OLD essay The Alphabet of Corruption

China bars political dissident access to lawyers
China bars political dissident access to lawyers
Fri Dec 24, 2010 11:03am GMT
By Sui-Lee Wee
BEIJING (Reuters) - One of China's most prominent human rights advocates, who was charged in June for subversion, has been denied access to his lawyers, a move that rights activists say sets the stage for a hasty and covert trial.
Liu Xianbin, 42, was charged with "incitement to subvert state power" for his articles that included his reflections on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo's arrest, Liu Xianbin's wife, Chen Mingxian, told Reuters by telephone.
The move to deny Liu Xianbin legal representation comes just as China has come under pressure from the international community for its human rights record, most recently for its harsh punishment of the Nobel laureate.
China, which jailed Liu Xiaobo for 11 years last year for "incitement to subvert state power," has called the Nobel award a "political farce."
Almost one year to the date that the Chinese government jailed Liu Xiaobo, many Chinese dissidents who have been charged in highly sensitive cases involving state secrets or subversion charges have been languishing in legal limbo as it is not unusual for authorities to severely curtail access to lawyers or family members. FULL STORY
Sounds exactly like Family courts, huh? Twelve years ago Pamela Gaston was referring to family courts as "China courts". She was right. The unconstitutional family courts and lack of vigorous defense of the "guilty until proven innocent" are intolerable violations of human rights.

Foster care in Washington: The Grinches who stole DC kids’ Christmas
They would be the head of the Washington D.C. child welfare agency and the chair of the relevant committee of the D.C. council, who cut help for grandparents raising kids to keep them out of foster care, and other help for kids already in foster care.
But they spared the network of powerful private agencies that dominates DC child welfare, and the nation’s best-paid foster parents. Details are in this NCCPR op ed for the local opinions section of The Washington Post.

ROBSTOWN, Texas - Santa was at 5th and main, his sled was the back of a pick up truck, but the children that stopped by did not seem to mind as there were gifts to be passed out and photos to be taken.
Many of the parents who stopped with their children took the opportunity to snap a photo with their children and jolly old saint nick as Christmas tunes from a boom box set the mood for the event.
The children who stopped by received a traditional fruit bag along with their selection of a toy, a book and a stuffed animal. The gifts were donated by Coastal Gymnastics Academy.
Kudos to Coastal Gymnastics Academy. Boo on CPS passing out gifts to kids. I would be highly concerned about CPS taking photographs and collecting information on "needy" a.k.a. "neglected" children to feed into the CPS meat grinder later.

"Enormous Scale" of Pharma Criminal Fraud Settlements

A report by Public Citizen documents the enormous scale of lawless activities by the pharmaceutical industry during the past two decades--crimes for which the government levied a minimum of $1 million in penalties. http://freepdfhosting.com/53888d5b53.pdf
Between 1991-2010, there were 165 criminal and/or civil settlements involving major pharmaceutical companies who paid $19.8 billion in penalties.
Four of the world's largest drug companies--GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Schering-Plough--accounted for 53% ($10.5 billion) of penalties during these two decades.
If that isn't shocking enough, during the past five years, Big Pharma has been engaged in a veritable crime spree:
73% of these settlements (121) and 75% of the penalties ($14.8 billion) occurred between 2006-2010.
"While the defense industry used to be the biggest defrauder of the federal government under the False Claims Act (FCA), a law enacted in 1863 to prevent defense contractor fraud, the pharmaceutical industry has greatly overtaken the defense industry in recent years. The pharmaceutical industry now tops not only the defense industry, but all other industries in the total amount of fraud payments for actions against the federal government under the False Claims Act."
But government suits against the pharmaceutical industry have failed to address the harmful human consequences--WHY?

The New American
A new study from the Family Research Council (FRC) reveals that over half of children in the United States are being raised in single-parent homes decimated by divorce, separation, and parental conflict. In the U.S Index of Belonging and Rejection, Dr. Patrick Fagan, director of the FRC’s Marriage and Religion Institute, found that the American family model has become one of rejection, with only 45 percent of American teens raised in families with both a mother and father legally married to one another.
By contrast, 55 percent of teens in the U.S. have been raised in families marred by rejection, including “single-parent families, stepfamilies, and children who no longer live with either birth parent but with adoptive or foster parents.”
Fagan’s research, based on data gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, found that increased divorce rates and more children born outside of marriage “have turned growing up in a stable, two-parent family into an exception, rather than the rule, for young Americans.” Especially relevant, he found, were statistics showing that while 62 percent of Asian-American teens and 54 percent of Caucasian teens live with both married parents, only 17 percent of African-American youth — less than one in five — live in intact homes with both married parents.

The greatest gift anyone can receive during this joyous season is the love and support of family.
Most of us take our families for granted.
But what if you had grown up in a family where your parents did not know how to provide the strong foundation that would help you to succeed in school and become a contributing member of society, much less equip you to become a good parent yourself?
Parents who haven't had the opportunity to learn effective parenting skills through their own childhood experiences are ill-equipped to meet the challenges facing today's families.
Although they want to be good parents, they recognize they don't have the basic knowledge and skills needed to handle the job.
Some parents who face these challenges have the opportunity to voluntarily participate in the Healthy Families Florida home visiting program.
Through this nationally accredited and proven program, parents at high-risk for child abuse and neglect learn how to recognize and respond to their babies' changing developmental needs, use positive discipline techniques and cope with the day-to-day stress of parenting in healthy ways.
Parents are also encouraged to take personal responsibility for setting short and long-term goals like enrolling in GED or job training programs and finding stable employment.
One grateful mom said that before entering Healthy Families, "I was on welfare, taking advantage of every government program available. Since I have been in [Healthy Families], my husband and I have been able to get jobs, our own apartment and a better handle on our bills.
"Also, I have been pushed to get my kids to their health appointments."
Family support workers also screen moms for depression and their children for developmental delays, educate parents about the importance of immunizations and well-child check-ups and link them to medical providers.
In addition, they teach parents how to access community services and identify and address potential safety hazards in and around their homes.
Family plays an essential role in fulfilling the emotional and physical needs of children, which lays the foundation for all future emotional, cognitive and social development.
A family is the most important unit of society because it is the child's first, and most important, "school" where important skills and abilities critical are - or aren't - developed. FULL STORY

BARTLESVILLE, Oklahoma - There were no warning signs of abuse for Washington County’s child welfare workers prior to the death this month of a 3-year-old Bartlesville boy who allegedly died of blunt trauma.
A report released this week by Oklahoma Department of Human Services on the death of Christian Norris shows child welfare officials did not receive any calls complaining of possible abuse or neglect involving the child prior to his death Dec. 7.
Joshua Robert Benton, 22, is being held without bond on a charge of first-degree murder involving a child in the death of the toddler.
Benton, who worked as a Washington County jailer until his arrest, reportedly confessed to using force on the tot. He is being held in a jail in another county. FULL STORY
You cannot prevent things like this from happening, no matter how tyrannical government gets about it. If every child was taken by government and raised in government homes, there would be (actually is) 7 times more deaths, 11 times more abuse, and almost universal rape of kids by the time they age out. The death penalty has been stopped in many states because a majority of people do not believe it is a deterrent. America has been Deliberately Dumbed Down and made Morally Bankrupt, while the culture war on virtuous and honorable living continues.

What Should Parents Do if They Cross the Line?

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Most parents get frustrated with their children at one point or another, but what happens when adults cross the line?
Child safety advocates say prevention of abuse is key, and the welfare of any child should be priority number one. If an adult finds themselves in an aggravating situation with a child, Jennifer Boen with SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect) says the adult should take a step back and calm down.
But what if the situation has already gotten out of control?
Boen says, "If they've crossed the line and they've injured their child, or even think that they're going to and they have struck a child or find themselves doing verbal abuse, make that call."
Boen says don't wait - call 9-1-1 immediately, because often times injuries can't be seen or get worse over time.
She says it's important not to avoid calling for help due to a fear of losing one's child. Boen says the priority of SCAN is to keep families together, and around 90% of parents who successfully complete their parenting program are able to do just that.
