Introduction

Throughout North America, social workers employed by children's protective services are hopelessly overworked. There are over three one thousand thousand reports of alleged kid corruption and neglect each year in the U.Southward. Two meg of them are found to be without foundation; each of the rest has to be thoroughly investigated past an insufficient numbers of workers who accept inadequate support and often have inadequate training. The stakes are high! CPS workers are required to brand judgments that seriously touch each family on their example load. When CPS workers take a child into protection, they generate much animosity and family disruption. However, if they leave a child in a family where it is later abused, then the CPS workers are severely criticized.

When our web site was initially started in 1995, many CPS agencies throughout North America were clearly out of control:

bullet Hundreds or thousands of children were removed from families whose merely "crime" was to alive in a communal setting. "The Family," founded by David Berg was particularly targeted, even though no corruption was e'er found.
bullet There were numerous instances where CPS workers removed children from their families for the simple reason that one or both parents were Wiccans, or followers of some other Neopagan or minority religion. In nearly cases, the CPS workers involved had never received formal training in comparative organized religion. They acted on the basis of lies and distortions that they had casually picked upward during their lifetime -- ofttimes from their religious institutions. Many associated Wiccans with Satanism, and Satanism with the Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) hoax. Some felt that every Neopagan parent was a danger to her/his children.
bullet Many CPS workers had been trained in dangerous methods of kid interrogation. They had been taught to ask direct, repeated questions of young children. Only in contempo years take kid psychologists realized that this method is very probable to generate disclosures of events that never happened. further, this technique can unknowingly implant false memories of sexual abuse in children's minds. From this source, many dozens of innocent adults have been charged with performing Ritual Abuse on thousands of immature children at solar day care centers. Hundreds of adults were imprisoned for crimes that never happened. Thousands of children have grown up with fake memories of the most horrendous forms of abuse -- neglect, maltreatment and abuse that never happened.
bullet Some CPS workers assumed that certain types of sexual beliefs, interest, or knowledge on the part of small children were indicators of sexual corruption.

During the early 1990s, when many CPS workers were clearly out of command, parents needed to exist aware of methods to protect themselves and their children against government assail. We published an essay provided by the families of VOCAL - Victims Of Child Abuse Laws, an not-turn a profit agency with chapters in many U.s. states. The essay described diverse ways in which unjustly accused parents could protect their children. Publishing this textile on the Internet was a calculated take chances. Past helping innocent parents, nosotros might likewise be helping calumniating parents escape penalization. But nosotros felt that on average, justice would be served.

Since the mid 1990s, there have been a lot of changes:

As a outcome, we take decided that the essay that was originally published here was best removed. 2

What to do if you take been unjustly treated by the CPS:

A small percentage of CPS workers remain unsuited for their chore because of inadequate grooming, inflexible attitudes, and religious bigotry. Innocent parents are still beingness accused of child abuse, although at a much reduced frequency than occurred during the 1980s and early 1990s.

In many jurisdictions, example workers are protected past legislation and take qualified immunity from lawsuits from parents who believe that they take been abused. 3 Nevertheless, if you lot are an unjustly defendant parent, you might consider the following possibilities:

Some attorneys have rates geared to your income; some will take "pro bono" cases (without charge).
