Parental Alienation & Grief

Posted by: Forever on: September 3, 2009

The parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child-custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child’s campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent’s indoctrinations and the child’s own contributions to [...]

It’s Almost Tuesday


It's Almost Tuesday is a fictional story based on true events of abuse within the Texas Foster Care System. The story is written as if told by an 8 year old foster child using his exact words whenever possible.

Study: Troubled homes are STILL better than foster care

Kids who stayed with their families were less likely to become juvenile delinquents or teen mothers and more likely to hold jobs as young adults than kids who were removed into foster care.


Arrested at least once:

�14% oif Kids Who Stayed with family: were arrested at least once rather than 44% of Kids Who Went to foster care!



33 % of Kids who stayed with their family Became teen mothers: but more than half (56%) of Kids Who Went to foster care became teen mothers!



33% of kids who stayed with their family held a job at least 3 months: as opposed to merely 20 % of the Kids Who Went to foster care!



Out of 500,000 children in U.S. foster care
Statistics show that foster children are more likely than other kids to drop out of school,
commit crimes,
abuse drugs
and become teen parents!



Teens aging out of foster care have spent nearly five years there That's twice the average length of time for all kids in the system.

Fewer than 3% earn college degrees.


Teens in foster care are less likely to finish high school and more likely to go to prison or become homeless.


How can the government tell us, with statistics like this, that this is protecting the kids?

CP$ KNOW$ THE GUILTY ONE$

Caseworker: We know your husband is guilty, you've got
to force him into admitting it.


Mother: How do you know he's guilty?


Caseworker: We know he's guilty because he says he's
innocent. Guilty people always say they're innocent.


Mother: What do innocent people say?


Caseworker: We're not in the business of guilty or
innocent. We're in the business of putting families
together.


Mother: So why not do that with us?


Caseworker: Because he won't admit his guilt.

of CPS Caught On Tape

A foster child carries a realistic looking cap gun in his pocket from the foster home to a visit; the children were given these guns and taught how to shoot them in target practice at a foster camp. At the time this child was only 8 years old; taking high doses of psychotropic medications.


Blog Note: If a parent carried the same toy gun into the same visit, that parent would definitely be arrested and probably lose their rights to visit their children.

Tuesday’s Poll

Do you believe that CPS serves the best interest of the children? Or the Government?

(polls)

Families Rights Should Be Protected

"Because the swing of every pendulum brings with it potential adverse consequences, it is important to emphasize that in the area of child abuse, as with the investigation and prosecution of all crimes, the state is constrained by the substantive and procedural guarantees of the Constitution.


The fact that the suspected crime may be heinous – whether it involves children or adults - does not provide cause for the state to ignore the rights of the accused or any other parties.



Otherwise, serious injustices may result. "


Syl.Pt.3,WALLIS v. SPENCER, 202 F.3d 1126(9th Cir. 2000)

Quotes From Foster Children

Mother meant the whole world to me and there wasn’t anything I could do to get her back. It was like I had lost everything. Lucie, Age 19

I felt so bad for my mom and I constantly felt like it was my fault because I couldn’t do anything to stop it.
PoemGirl, Age 17

I felt so disappointed and heartbroken. I hated my life.
Brittany, Age 13

How does it feel to be a Foster Child? It’s like being in a great world of your own. MARK, Age 12

I felt very sad and I knew I could not do anything about it. I had to get over it. I know how it feels to be pushed around. I have been there.Einstein, Age 11

The placements did not work because in my heart I felt alone but in my mind I felt grown….The only problem in the home was me. There I was almost thirteen and hated the world. I could not trust anyone. I didn’t want to trust anyone. How could I trust someone? I had to
protect myself from hurt. The only way I could do that was to guard my heart….I messed up four homes because of this. Flower Girl, Age 18

I think that when you become an adult it’s just like a toddler you’re a caterpillar, and when you’re a kid you’re a cocoon and finally you become an adult which would be a butterfly. Jesse, Age 9

We should all make our foster care family a possibility.
MeMe, Age 17

The best advice I have from one foster child to another is that you never give up….Never think that you are worthless. Jane, Age 10

  • Best 'letter to the editor' from our weekend pages November 13, 2009
    From our Saturday letters to the editor stack: Too many people see Islam as the religion of terrorists, while forgetting our own country's history of the Ku Klux Klan. This group roamed freely throughout the South for decades. Their symbol was a burning cross. All of them considered themselves to be Christians, yet they committed unspeakable acts agains […]
  • Should teachers be punished over Facebook photos? November 13, 2009
    A case out of Georgia is making folks wonder if a teacher can or should be fired for inappropriate Facebook photos that could be accessed by students and parents. But the real issue in the case is about whether the woman knew she was only being suspended for 10 days before she resigned. It has less to do with Facebook than with this language arts teacher not […]

  • Why have an insanity defense? November 13, 2009
    It seems to me that the very definition of insanity is going into a crowded place and opening fire in an effort to kill as many people as possible. And, yes, it's terrorism. So even though Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorney is maneuvering to plea insanity in the Fort Hood case, I have to wonder why we even consider insanity a defense for acts that are obv […]

Foster Care – Go On!

by Crystal, age 13


Have you ever said mom, dad I love you?
Have you ever hugged them goodbye?
Well have you ever sat in a room and cried?
Well I can’t everyday say I love you mom, or
dad I can’t say goodbye!
Sometimes when I visit my dad and I have to be supervised!
How would you feel to live in a different home every couple of months?
You can’t stay in one place...
You always feel like you are replaced!
People saying they don’t want you there...
People lying so they won’t hurt your feelings!
People watching your every footstep while you sit there crying.
They can’t hold you like your parents.
I have to say I’m strong when I move there.
So I can GO ON

How would you feel to lift your head and see someone everyday that is not your mom and dad?
Would you cry, would you worry?
Or would you fly or would you scurry?
Sometimes you have to let go.
Sometimes you have to turn away.
Sometimes you let the tears drop,
And let them flow anyway.
There is more hurt to this than you will ever feel!
To see your mother die on mother’s day...
I have to GO ON is all you can say

TEXAS FOSTER KIDS – STILL FORGOTTEN



”I saw filthy living conditions, make-shift outhouses, unsanitary food storage, in so-called outdoor camps where children must sleep in sleeping bags - no walls, no fans, no heat - for months and months and in many cases, year after year.

That’s not care. That’s cruelty.



That’s not educating.

That’s endangering” Carol Strayhorn on Texas Foster Care System in 2004
