Famillies Seperated by the State.

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

New American has an article about nine-year old Tevana Tranberg, she fainted in the grocery store, and was taken to the Hospital by ambulance. A female doctor was upset that the parents asked for a second opinion. Dr. Catherine James tried to get a restraining order against the parents, was denied so she reported the parents to Department of Social Services (DSS). Then directed the parents to have the child see their doctor within 48 hours. The parents took their daughter, setup an appointment with their pediatrician the next morning.

Suddenly the police along with a SWAT team showed up with Child Protection Services (CPS) to take the child into custody. The police took the 5 children including a baby. This article goes on, but I recommend you read it in detail, about the abuse of powers about CPS @ The New American

What I find so F*CKING troubling is,

  1. DSS Lied to the CPS that the parents fled the hospital. (Blamed the doctor)
  2. CPS Lied to the Police, that the children where being abused. Police used the SWAT TEAM with DOGS.
  3. CPS Lied to the parents asking them to sign a waiver so they could get their children back, when the waiver actually lets CPS hold the children for a year.
  4. No court order or proof was needed to take the children, No checks and balances.
  5. CPS tells the mother to get a restraining order (AGAINST THE FATHER) to get the children back, when the mother says there is no abuse.

Basically, we have an army, police with assault rifles, guard dogs, break into your home, take your kids without due process. No warrants, No Judge, No jury and possibly KILL YOU.

DSS arrested one mother and put her in a psych ward for disagreeing with them. No jury, No court, straight to the hospital. The police arrested reporters investigating these court cases, the police lost in court, but still they assisted in kidnapping.

What is someone suppose to say after reading stories like this? Government agencies can come into your home and take you and your family away without a trail? SWAT teams armed like the military trained to kill you?

No Knock warrants? How about No-Knock kidnapping and false arrest.

Disgusted.

Should Men watch their wives give birth.

Monday, June 18th, 2007

There is an old 2005 opinion piece on Slate about a NY Times article, that I thought I’d post.

Quick summary, men watching their wives give birth and their reactions. Seems the “Joy of Birth” can be traumatizing to men, but men don’t speak about it. (Unwritten man law)

What shouldn’t phase me by now, is the personal attacks when men after the birth seek help with the trauma. One blogger wrote an entire article, “Would it hurt if I called you a Big Pussy?”. Even going on as far as calling men assholes who don’t want to be in the room.

Personally, I was there for my first 2 kids being born, even turned white and light headed. The doctor even had me cut the umbilical cord. I could easily see how some men could find nerve racking.
