Violations of parents and children's rights, Child Protective Services Spokane Nationwide

Please help the Washington Families that are unjustly being destroyed by our child welfare system.

Parents and children's rights are being violated which are guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America:

The violations of parents and children's rights are cloaked in secrecy under the guise of the confidentiality laws and are actively championed in Family Courts. The actions of the CPS and the Family Courts are accomplishing the unjustified status of due process' while these despicable practices are; state sanctioned tyranny and oppression on a wholesale scale against innocent parents and children.

Parents are not being allowed to exercise their freedom of religion. CPS removes children for various religious practices.

Parents do not have the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances. Parents' petitions to elected representatives at the local, state, and federal levels go unanswered and unresolved while CPS tramples on their rights. CPS workers are protected by immunity and there is nothing anyone can do.

Parents do not have the right to be free from threats, duress, coercion, or intimidation in their dealings with the State. Parents are subjected to threats, duress, and coercion by Social Workers. They are told they will never see their children unless they confess. Children are also told that unless they disclose, they will not see their
parents again.

Parents do not have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. CPS and police officers, steal children without warrants, and search homes for evidence without warrants or evidence of any crime. This is all done in the name of protecting the children. The warrant less searches are used by CPS to obtain access to the children. They interview them on the spot away from the parent, inflicting trauma on the child with total disregard to the rights of the parents to be with a child when they are being questioned. Children are often strip searched and photographed, again inflicting trauma on the child.

Parents do not have the right to not be compelled to be a witness against himself. Families are court ordered to cooperate with CPS and to disclose information that is often twisted and manipulated into lies and is presented as fact to the court. Families are not informed that
the information they give can and will be used against them in court. They are court-ordered to sign releases of private medical and psychiatric information. Failure to sign these releases results non-compliance with the order and they could lose custody of their children.

Parents do not have the right to not to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Parental rights are effectively terminated when the CPS agent leaves the home with the children. This does not protect the right to due process. Parents are denied the right to be present at interviews and examinations or to even speak with their children. If they have visitation, they are forbidden to speak about the case. They have no say in any aspect of their children's life, who will care for them and how, or in the treatments the children
will receive. Parents are denied access to their children without having been found guilty of any crime. This is often denied arbitrarily, and often as punishment for the parents' refusing to admit guilt. This is denial of due process; it is cruel and unusual punishment for both the parents and the child.

When children act out their anger and fear due to the State's actions, they are drugged into compliance. Parents should have the right to refuse unwanted or unneeded medical or psychiatric evaluations, treatments or drugs, for themselves and for their children.

Parents do not have the right to cross-examine witnesses and impeach testimony. Under the guise of protecting the childs confidentiality, parents are denied the admission of evidence in their favor. They are subjected to hearsay evidence against them. Parents should have the right to not be subjected to hearsay evidence against them.in a child abuse case, hearsay evidence is routinely admitted into court. This he said, she said' testimony is a violation of a fundamental constitutional right. To put someone on trial, or to convict someone, based on hearsay is a farce.

Parents do not have the right to a trial by jury. Their children are at risk and the decisions left to the Family Court judge, who is, in far too many cases, predisposed against the parent. A trial by jury must be allowed for all Family court proceedings to protect the rights of both the parents and the children.

Parents not have the right to confront the witnesses against them and they do not have the right to have access to all evidence and witnesses against them. Parents are denied access to many forms of so-called
evidence against them under the guise of confidentiality' laws. The motives of the child abuse reporters are not investigated. A false report of child abuse is slanderous and libelous in nature. Prosecutors
refuse in most cases to prosecute the cases of false reports. The accused must have the right to confront the witnesses against him.

Parents should have the right to be legally protected from slanderous or libelous reports against them; and the right to be able to seek real retribution for any such violations against their character. When a parent's name is entered on a registry' of child abusers, without
having been convicted of the crime of child abuse, it publicly presents this person as a though he were a convicted criminal and has the effect of legally slandering and libeling his character. The process of
placing a person's name on a registry has no safeguards, nor is it employed only after due process, in order to protect the rights of the persons listed and is therefore facially unconstitutional.

Parents should have the right to have effective counsel for their defense. The most important issue to most parents is their children. Court appointed attorneys do not fight effectively for our children most of them have large caseloads and cannot spend the time needed on
each case.By their own admission, attorneys have too much to lose by presenting a vigorous and effective defense.

CPS agencies and the courts routinely leave truly abused children in the homes of their abusers. These are the children who die, and CPS knew of the abuse and did nothing to prevent it. The State covers up the abuse of children they have in their custody and there are no
provisions for independent investigations into such complaints. The children suffer at the expense of State. If the State wishes to raise children, let them bear their own. The State has no right to interfere with family matters unless they present a real danger to the child.

Children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care instead of kinship placements where they are at far greater risk of abuse. The State does not make a good parent; it has no vested interest in the child. The best way to avoid trauma to the child is to place the child with blood relatives. This is the right of the blood relatives. Blood relatives should not be required to meet the same requirements as strangers who apply to be foster parents or adoptive parents. To require more is a violation of the integrity of the family bond and
patently immoral. Blood relatives should have the first option of to have the child before foster care. They should be given the child in all cases except for previously proven abuse or neglect against the relative who wishes to have custody of the child. Blood relatives are systematically denied their rights to these children.

The right to refuse to participate in unwanted or unneeded treatment plans. All treatment plans proposed by the CPS agencies do not have a clearly defined termination point. Parents are given hoops to jump
through, and when they do it - expecting to get their children back - they are only given more hoops to jump through. Most treatment plans are irrelevant to the circumstances that precipitated the intervention.

The right that all men must live under the law; that no man who is in a position of authority over them is above the law; that those who have been victimized have the real ability to seek civil and criminal punishment against those who use the authority of the state to act
outside the law with impunity. CPS, mandated reporters, and the courts have all been placed above the law, by being granted unqualified immunity to act against any person in this country.By not being held
accountable for their actions, whether these actions be legal or illegal, has created a class of person who can act with impunity and without fear of justified action against them. These people have been corrupted by absolute power and our children are paying the price.
