A N A R C H T I C A: No hope, no future, no justice…may not apply soon.
I may have to come up with a new name for where I’m living. :0)

If you recall the heartbreaking story of the Bayers… whose children were taken away, and they haven’t seen them for a month, despite no wrongdoing, and the judge was “too busy to sign the release orders” (but sure as hell wasted no time signing the orders to take them away, though… funny that.)

Child agency finally releases kids –
“We reached out to Children and Youth reporting what the boys said. We thought they were going to help us. Instead they snatched the children,” Angela Bayer said.

Yes, yes, yes… the kids made up a story that their biological father had molested them (I’m presuming to get out of visitation?). But what was the logic in removing them from the *MOTHER’S* home????

“We will be working now to tell other parents in Monroe County about Children and Youth and to warn them never to look to Children and Youth for help.” They cautioned, “If we knew then what we know now, we never would have let them into our home without a search warrant.”

I could have told them that. Unfortunately, I had to learn that the hard way too… and then it was too late.

… it’s absolutely and completely screwed.

“America’s child protection system has immense power. It operates in secrecy. It enjoys total immunity. Parents and children have few meaningful rights. Under current law, the system created to protect children has become America’s greatest source of family and child abuse. It desperately needs substantial reform. “

Wow!!! I wasn’t expecting that kind of a response… thanks everyone! :0)

Just a little testament to the power of the web. And miracles.

It was far from a “One Man War”, believe me. You don’t get out of these things without a lot of money (*waves to in-laws*), massive legal firepower, and friends.

Just a quick backdrop…
It started in 2000. My wife partnered with a former co-worker, after the company they worked for, folded. Their home remodeling company was doing decent… but then they were offered to buy a rival company run by a sleazeball. It was supposed to put their company ahead of the game… but it was a scam. The (former) owner was slowly draining the funds. Before you knew it tens of thousands of dollars worth of checks were bouncing. We lost our house. Faced several bouts of jail time, as my wife’s partner left her holding the bag. Kids were getting depressed and missing school, so CPS was called by the school… things got worse and worse.

We needed help. Not punishment.

As usual the state had other plans… despite our biggest problem being money (or the lack thereof), they still found ways to fine us for everything from Animal abuse (reaaaally long story there), to CPS taking the kids, having us pay child support for it, and a demand we pay our landlord $2,250 to keep the landlord’s house from foreclosing (to which they snicker and say “Oh, Eric, you make that sound like a hostage situation” *raises eyebrow*). The entire story is long, boring, very detailed and can fill a novel. I’ll probably write it someday…
