View Full Version : Is this what's in store for children...

Recently a Christian fundamentalist front organization, by
invitiation, gained access to a federal agency, after many years of
lobbying. They were invited and welcomed by ageny top administrators.

For what purpose?

To "assist" (that is write) in creating the language of an amendment
to a law that involves child protection.

This new amendment is designed to force child protection agencies to
go even beyond the police requirements to inform a suspect of their
rights. Police can detain a suspect for hours before actually reading
them their rights and then questioning them while the police question
witnesses and others involved, including the alleged victims.

This amendment, as it's intended, will deny child protection workers
access to victims and witnesses while allowing the perpetrators
control of the victim and witnesses on scene while investigators have
to scramble for warrants.

Unlike the police, who can respond to a 911 call, or even being
flagged down by a passerby, child welfare investigators may have to
stop, find a judge (no matter the hour or day of the week), convince
the judge they ALREADY have evidence sufficient to issue a warrant,
and only then proceed.

It has been widely proclaimed by the enemies of child protection that
this "right" must be respected. A right that did NOT exist until this
amendment was created.

Is this is a flagrant attempt to take the spotlight off child abusers.
To free them to torture children more? I think it is.

Why the fundies involvement?

Do they WANT to protect and encourage child abuse?

They's say they don't.

But evidence is begining to surface that they indeed want to change
the standards of what is and isn't child abuse...and it is possible,
want to set the standards to their level.

We have to ask ourselves, just what do they consider acceptable
parenting standards and why they want to set those at the federal
level, as a rule for all parents in this country.

In time, after this camel gets its nose under the edge of the tent,
and more power and authority is diverted to Theopolitical activists
(something that flies in the face of our constitution...but seems to
be underway in Washington and across America) you could be publically
castigated for NOT whipping your children, and even, as the trend has
been in some conservative areas, taken to court and convicted of CHILD
NEGLECT because you DON'T spank and your child was involved in a
crime.

The state of Oregon already has some local laws that does charge the
parent with a crime when a teen gets into trouble with the law.

Here is one of the child rearing standards that some Christians
promote...and note, this is already a popular source for tens of
thousands of Christians, NOW.

A few bits from the revealing article:

............."In a soothing, authoritative tone, the guide further
assured Lori and Theo that, if they adhered to the book's
recommendations, their baby would sleep through the night by
approximately 8 weeks of age, cry less than other babies and even have
a reduced risk of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and
learning disabilities down the road."

.............."a huge, for-profit "parenting ministry" based in Simi
Valley, Calif. GFI has stated that its goals as an organization are
"to capture the hearts and minds of the next generation," because "it
takes two generations to affect change (sic). We gave the last over to
the ideological humanists; they have our tax dollar and the public
classroom to bring about their agenda. We cannot collectively capture
the minds of the next generation without educating the minds of
today's parents.""

The above statement, which alludes to the Christian homeschooling
movement, and most Christian and other homeschoolers in hot debate and
fighting against these fundamentalist and right wing Theopolitical
adventurers. E-mail loops and other on line private groups are flaming
with discussion.

............."Although GFI makes no attempt to obfuscate its own agenda
as an activist evangelical Christian organization in its other, openly
religious materials, parents who buy or are given the seemingly
mainstream "Babywise" books have no way of knowing that the books'
advice is based largely on GFI's own unique biblical interpretations."

For the next excerpt you may want to get a barf bag........

............"After babies reach only 6 months of age, parents are
instructed to begin punitive disciplinary measures such as "squeezing
or swatting" of the child's hands or "isolation" in the crib for
"rebellious" infractions including "foolishness," "malicious defiance"
or even playing with food on the highchair tray. Ezzo explains to
parents that the use of "pain" and "discomfort" can be essential
disciplinary tools. After age 2 and a half, children who have a
toileting accident are required to clean themselves up."

Apparently James Dobson has had some influence on the next generation
of child torturers.

It's my belief that these are the aims of the group and cohorts that
now have the ear of our current federal administration who has itself
exhibited more than enough evidence to set Americans to wondering if
we haven't already succumbed to a Theopolitical takeover.

More to come folks, more to come.

Everyone knows Ashcroft was nominated and selected as head of Justice. What
else is new?

Meanwhile, the little child is left unprotected in the hands of the
alleged perpetrator. Rob a store or assault your neighbor, the police
can respond. Hurt a defenseless child, leave the child to be further
damaged.

Which is why the amendment was created. Enemies of child protection
wanted to ensure that the biological parents as perpetrators of child
abuse had far more rights than perpetrators of any other crime where the
victim is an adult. What's up with that garbage?
