Thoughts from the Group

  • "We ARE NOT attorneys so there are "NO" holds or worry about LOSING our bar cards which is SO IMPORTANT to attorneys. "WE" can "quote" the law as good as any attorney and "WE" are "NOT" practicing law without a license but are FOLLOWING guidelines the laws that has been set down for us to use." CH
  • "TO ME" if a judge attempts to control what evidence can be presented -- the judge is attempting to cover up the crimes being committed by the legal system. This is why we have to be able to represent ourselves in court. I strongly believe we can beat the legal system at their own game. CH
  • Please don't be afraid to speak out and offer suggestions, we're building and growing in knowledge of the law. We've been through nightmares, the heart aches, the tears, sleepless nights and becoming stronger with the very broad shoulder of the group to lean on.  We're digging into State and Federal Law and hoping to make things really HOT for the corrupt legal system. If you have knowledge concerning law--writing legal briefs and such. Please don't be afraid, just jump in and get your feet wet as the rest of us are doing and you are very welcome. CH
  • I say we are not lawyers, attorneys and they may try to say "we're practicing law without a license." sorry Charlie, I know how to read, how to do research and we are following the law and doing what the law says. Have you ever notice that doctors and lawyers always say they're "practicing?" CH
  • Every case is different and is decided on 1) the law and 2) case law.  What's important is finding other cases where the issues are close or identical and the judge ruled in favor of the client.  This is research.  A great resource are paralegals.  These are professional research people and do most of the research for attorneys.  Good ones even write briefs.  If interested I'll tell you what I know about possibly securing one for a fraction of the cost of an attorney if you want to represent yourself.  Once you have a good brief, the chance of attracting an attorney just for court time are good.  JH

Getting Started on Your Brief

Simply put, you need the Who, What, When, Where, and Why of your case

Filing Civil Suits

The next thing I'm going to suggest is learning how to file civil suits and somehow manage to get the cases before juries. I believe there would be enough cases that could be filed to gridlock the legal system. Possibly the attorneys listed on the Glennsacks.com website might be interested in assisting in filing civil suits. I know all of this takes money. One thing I've thought about is getting behind one case and go from there.

Going to have to do some studying on this--I believe there are ways of stopping them from doing anything until the case is settled by filing a mechanical lien. Maybe someone in the group knows something about this and how to make it work. I know we're going up against a bunch of slick entrenched crooks that's taken over the legal system so we've got to learn how to beat them at their own game.

How many of the group has a BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY? This book should be in every home. You can find it in most large bookstores about $75.00 if I remember right. Also, start a file on cases like the legal system uses. Have you noticed how they will refer to other cases instead of using the merits of the case before them? Well, we can do the same.

All of these people are public employees and have supervisors so complaints should be filed with the supervisors and higher ups.

I hope I can find this attorney in New York that had a lot of information on his website (about 80 or so pages). He almost lays out a guideline we would be able to follow. 

 I'm going to make a suggestion that everyone might need to start doing. MAKE BACK UP DISKS AND COPY RECORDS, DATA, DOCUMENTS AND ETC. I've lost more material than you can shake a stick at so I'm a really great one to be giving this advise.

Building Cases

We've got to build a library of cases we can use. You have to remember I'm not a foster parent and in general the info I talk about is from being a parent. We need to figure out how to combine  criminal "penal" codes with Admin Codes if this is possible. I found the CA CHILD ABUSE ACT. If a person didn't know it exists, they'd never find it. It makes *good* reading..

Hi Charles,
Your brainstorm may be very a very valuable asset.May I offer some alternative suggestions for your consideration:
  • Create another group site ie *fosterparentallegationbriefs*  for example. I mention this since working on briefs would mean a lot of correspondence and another group would keep this specific information in one place. (Please note there is a limitation on the amount of words you can post on the web and all the wording of a brief might not be displayed

  • Email by attachment the actual briefs that members want to become involved in. If you have a word program and if you save it as an *rtf* (Rich Text Format) file, this can be read with most popular word programs.

  • Create a link on the NFPCAR site, ie *Legal* Tab. (This page is the WebPage. Currently it is just one page, but as more develops, will add more pages)

     I can set up a link, plus I can set up a section within the site as Password protected. This way the Public can not see the briefs, just those that are actually involved. (Link is http://rscraps.com/NFPCAR/Lawyer/ )
     

  • However, for starters, it would be very beneficial if you could send me a template or fill in the blank file for starting your brief.

So think about it and let me know, Plus thanks for your wonderful contributions you have made to this group.
God Bless, GranPa Chuck

In the News
  • Another Champion of Justice - Thank you, Barbara Hollingsworth!
Posted: 06 Jun 2008 10:51 AM CDT
This week I received email with links to a series of news articles written by Barbara Hollingsworth about CPS injustice. She’s looking for cases in and around Washington DC, to profile them in future news articles.

Here are her article links:
Victims claim CPS officials guilty of ‘ruthless behavior - examples of CPS injustice from around the USA.
Is it child protection or legal kidnapping? - how CPS works, and how innocent parents can be accused of wrongdoing.
Bureaucrats running down the clock against parents - this is about ASFA, the Orwellian law passed in 1996 that allows CPS to terminate parental rights after keeping a child in foster care for only 15 months. This has encouraged the CPS tactic of delaying reunifications until the time limit is reached so they can adopt out children even if the parents are adequate and have done everything required. This law also gives states bonus money for each child adopted out.
 
ASFA = “The Adoptions and Safe Families Act” - ostensibly written to keep children from having to live in long term foster care, by encouraging adoptions. In practice it has encouraged states to rip apart young families to get the babies because they are most easily adopted out. Older “hard to adopt” children are featured on meat-market type websites where people can look through to see if they want any featured children. The states get thousands of dollars for each adoption, from the federal treasury. “Child collectors”… aka Adopters… get thousands of dollars in adoption subsidy payments. Social workers get jobs since they are the front-line in taking children from their families. It is a win-win situation for everyone except parents and children who are used, abused, and traumatized for life by this pathetic rush for money by greedy systemites.
