CPS critic OK to speak for herself, not 'group': PHOENIX Arizona — A vocal critic of Child Protective Services can continue speaking out at the Capitol.
CPS critic OK to speak for herself, not 'group'
AG says it's that or registering as a lobbyist By Daniel Scarpinato arizona daily star Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.31.2007 http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/185480 PHOENIX — A vocal critic of Child Protective Services can continue speaking out at the Capitol. But following a Tucson lawmaker's complaint, Robin Scoins must stop speaking as the representative of her own one-woman organization to avoid registering as a lobbyist. As long as Scoins refrains from speaking on behalf of the Arizona Family Rights Advocacy Institute, she will not face fines or a misdemeanor conviction for previously representing the group without being a registered lobbyist, according to the Attorney General's Office. In a letter last week, Barbara Bailey, assistant attorney general, told Scoins, "We have closed our file on this matter." Scoins, a 39-year-old single mother of four in Peoria, has been under scrutiny since March, when Tucson Rep. Pete Hershberger reported to the Secretary of State's Office that Scoins was claiming to be appearing on behalf of an organization but wasn't a registered lobbyist. Scoins runs the organization out of her low-income housing unit and maintains a Web site. According to the site, AZFRAI advocates for parents "at risk of losing or have already lost custody of a child to CPS … due to false allegations." Scoins also solicits donations. Eventually the issue made it to the Attorney General's Office, which concurred with Hershberger, chairman of the House Human Services Committee. Scoins was told that she and her family-rights organization — which consists only of herself — needed to register with the state if she was to continue "lobbying" on CPS-related issues during Hershberger's committee hearings. Scoins was also facing potential fines and a misdemeanor conviction for lobbying without having registered. Scoins, who disagrees her efforts constitute lobbying, decided rather than register, she would drop the use of her organization when speaking, a move that apparently appeased the state. "I think it was kind of pointless to start this whole thing," Scoins said Wednesday. "I was afraid if people were having to register (as lobbyists) they weren't going to speak out. They already feel they can't speak out as it is." Scoins and Hershberger are not always in disagreement on bills. But Hershberger tried to carve of moderate position on CPS during a time when the organization is facing criticisms for its handling of cases in Tucson and its level of openness and accountability. The House Government Committee is leading its own closed-door investigation into CPS, specifically looking into two cases in Tucson in which children died despite CPS involvement. Hershberger says he finds the attorney general's decision "appropriate." "She's always had access," he said. "She can still make comments or she can testify. She's done that. The problem comes in when she represents someone or claims to represent someone and then doesn't register." CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf 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 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, 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. BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |

CPS critic OK to speak for herself, not 'group': PHOENIX Arizona - A vocal critic of Child Protective Services can continue speaking out at the Capitol.
What's the big point about lobbyists being registered?
Isn't that more intended for lobbyists who are donating big bucks to buy access to politicians? Without the huge Big Money campaign contributions isn't this a moot point? That lady who works on the "support staff" at the Arizona Foster Care Review Board (Cheri) was probably not registered as a lobbyist there in AZ when she e-mailed a legislator his traffic ticket report either! ROFL! Will Arizona reject the Child Protection INDUSTRY and their racket?
