YFZ Children Lived in Separate Homes
YFZ Children Lived in Separate Homes By Donald Richter http://www.truthwillprevail.org/ Ever since the raid on the YFZ community last month, news reports and reader comments have referred to the FLDS children taken into custody as having been part of a communal living arrangement or a “compound” as it is often termed. Children were said to have been raised in a group setting where they hardly knew who their real mother was. So what does it really matter if the public clings to a warped stereotype about how FLDS families live? They already think the FLDS were somehow trapped in a time warp and never made it to the twentieth century, let alone to the twenty-first. It probably wouldn’t make much difference if the consequences of being misunderstood were not so serious. But when this stereotype is used as part of the justification for invading a peaceful community with military force and legally “kidnapping” all of the children, it does make a difference! As recently as May 16, 2008, Patrick Crimmins, a spokesman for CPS is quoted in an Associated Press release as saying: “This ranch was considered as a very large household.” He explained that CPS had treated the children as members of a single family and followed the usual practice of removing all of the children in a home where there is alleged child abuse. Anyone visiting the YFZ community and examining the conditions under which the children lived knows that this perception is false and is either the result of ignorance or of a purposeful distortion of the facts. Those attorneys for the women and children who actually made such a visit were surprised, after hearing the news reports, to find that the families lived in separate homes where each family was an individual entity. It might also be remarked that they found the homes all to be well built, neat, and orderly---a far cry from the facilities in which the children have been living for the last six weeks and hardly the type of environment one would associate with child abuse. The YFZ community has over 40 separate residences where children lived, as well as a number of trailer houses occupied by adults with no children. A few of the buildings were duplexes or four-plexes, but each family had its own living quarters with separate kitchen, living room, bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry facilities. That CPS still continues to project the image of children living in a compound can only be construed as another effort to justify actions which clearly are not justifiable. An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and the Child Protection "INDUSTRY" Child Protective Services Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of CPS. every parent should read the free handbook from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS Perpetrators of Maltreatment Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13 Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12 Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers.

Some experts estimate that about 30% of the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment than the general population. *Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support 80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system. The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should just be blown up. http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991 Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing. This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in the first place.
