Don't Let them Play Outside

CPS for Playing Outside

Here's an oldie but goodie.  Kari Anne Roy, a children's book author, had an unexpected visit from Child Protective Services for allowing her 6 year old son to play outside.. here's the kicker!.. UNSUPERVISED.  Yes,  he had been playing outside for 10 minutes when a neighbor returned her son saying she found him outside on the street playing alone.  He was about 150 yards from the house but the neighbor felt obligated to call the police.  The police were told that the mom had lost the boy and the neighbor had to return the boy.  The police left and all ended well.

UNTIL. the doorbell rang a week later.  It was CPS who decided to question their children about drugs, private parts and porn movies (a good introduction of the underworld to small children).   The CPS advised them not to allow their children to play outside alone.  Really?  

Bad Mom.. Home BIRTH!

 

Newborns and Sibling Taken After a Home Birth. Plus Eczema Not Treated Properly!

Erica gave birth two twins Morna and Daniel AT HOME of all places.  It was not an illegal act, even though it sounds crazy in a modern society, millions of children are born this way each year.  After the birth, the family summoned EMT services, yet refused to have their already born babies taken to the hospital for a check after birth.   This prompted a call to child protective services and now all 3 of their children have been removed from the home

This family did have it's issues.  The father was hospitalized due to bipolar symptoms (after going off meds) and had been arrested for anger management issues.  Apparentely not directed towards the children  and may have happened before they were born or while suffering mental health issues.,.who knows.   The parents also refused to treat eczema with steroid (oh boy!!!) and instead used home remedies.   Seriously, eczema!  Steroids are horrible for the body and skin!  Eczema is a just a skin condition!

Sacrmento, CA (2013), Sammy was taken from his parents Alex and Anna.  Baby Sammy, was admitted to hospital #1 for flu symptoms and was discovered to have a heart condition.  The child may need a heart surgery.  The family wasn't happy with the care in hospital #1 due to a medical error and took their baby DIRECTLY to hospital #2 without the discharge approval of hospital #1.  Upon arrival to hospital to the second hospital they were greeted by police.  Hospital #2 and police determined the child was in no serious or immediate medical danger and discharged the baby home. 

 

The next morning, the police showed up at the baby's home and took custody.  After a court battle, the Sammy was returned to his parents.   But oddly enough,  the court decided they must use a 3rd hospital for follow up care and a possible heart surgery.  AND, even though the parents did nothing wrong,  the case is continued to be followed by CPS (child protective services). 

7 children over nutrititional supplement

SEVEN Children Taken From 'Prepping' Parents

My first story :).  I'll keep it simple.  Daddy, Hal Stanely, drops MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement) into kids water as nutritional supplement and has kids taken away by Child Protective Services in Arkansas (Jan 2015).   Apparently, this supplement can cause uncomfortable to life threatening side effects (who knows).  His kids are healthy and have been taking it daily over a year.  The FDA was 'advised' that consumers should stop taking the supplement.  This is a homeschooling family who obviously cares for their children and is using the drops (misguided or not) to help protect their children from illness.  Hard to imagine the emotional damage to the children and the financial cost to the state of Arkansas for this nonsense.
