| Posted: 11 May 2012 04:32 AM PDT Attorney defends Cleveland couple that took girl from CPS Mike and April Davis, whose missing son was discovered drowned in a Liberty County pond about five weeks ago, broke no laws when they snatched their 18-month-old daughter from a foster home to escape what they call Child Protective Service "bullying" and to make a fresh start outside of Texas, their attorney said Wednesday. Child Protective Services spokeswoman Gwen Carter, however, noted both parents had signed a voluntary agreement - called a "parental child safety plan" - to allow their daughter, Abbygail, to be placed in temporary foster care while the family was assessed and received help for problems the parents disclosed. Note: And they were probably bullied into signing it. Knowing how these babystealers operate, the parents probably signed the safety plan because CPS was threatening to take daughter forever. I mean honestly, what kind of a low life takes a baby from a grieving family?

| Commentary: Wisconsin officials still 'in denial' of child welfare failures Posted: 11 May 2012 04:17 AM PDT Commentary: Wisconsin officials still 'in denial' of child welfare failures Thirty-five years ago, as a young reporter for Wisconsin Public Radio, I produced a series of reports on child abuse and foster care. I was stunned to find that what was then the state Department of Health and Social Services didn't even know how many children were in foster care or how long they stayed in care. We had to send out our own survey to all 72 counties.

| State rarely prosecutes for failing to report child abuse Posted: 10 May 2012 10:03 PM PDT State rarely prosecutes for failing to report child abuse As Channel 4 Action News' Paul Van Osdol found, the state rarely prosecutes people for failing to report abuse, with only three other criminal cases in the five years before Sandusky was arrested. Note: They're only prosecuting these people because of the public outrage caused by the media circus surrounding this case. Had this particular case not hit the headlines, they would have swept it under the rug like they do with most others.

| DHHS won’t release information on dead baby Posted: 10 May 2012 09:44 PM PDT DHHS won't release information on dead baby Gov. Paul LePage backs the Department of Health and Human Services' refusal to release information on how it handled a report of suspected child abuse at the Arundel home of Ethan Henderson, a 10-week-old baby who died, allegedly at his father's hands. Note: That's because if everybody knew that Maine's CPS Agents were really just a bunch of fraud selling moron's who couldn't tell the difference between child abuse and a hole in the ground, they'd loose their National Model status. On top of that, they'd rather pick on innocent families with the cute little blond haired blue eyed babies who would make good candidates for their adoption market.
