From Wikipedia:
The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona as a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right to avoid coercive self-incrimination (see right to silence).
...The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says may be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent him or her.
Miranda Warning
You have the Right to remain Silent.
Anything you say, can and will be,

Re: Full names of Children
To Those It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Fourth and Ninth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America:
1) My children will not be allowed to be removed from their classroom(s) by any agent of the Government/SCDSS without a properly executed search warrant.
2) My children will not be isolated in the presence of, nor interrogated by, such agents without the presence of the parent’s representative and the children's legal representative.
3) In the event that such agents present themselves on school property, and have shown proper government identification, and a legally executed search warrant, said children will not be removed from classroom(s) for the purpose of any form of questioning or interrogation prior to notification and presence of one or both parents, the parents’ representative and child's legal representative.
I am, for the record, refusing to consent to any interview of, search of, or physical examination of my children, my home, or myself and I am refusing to waive any Rights pertaining to myself or my children. If you ignore my exercise of these Rights and attempt to procure a waiver, I wish to confer with my attorney prior to any conversation with law enforcement and/or child protection agency on the subject of waiver.
Any action taken in violation of these instructions is prima facie evidence of bad faith and of an overt and willful violation of my Rights without my consent, and severs the responsible party/parties from any immunity protections provided for under the law based on the presumption of acts committed in good faith.
These instructions remain in effect as long as my children are enrolled in this school or until rescinded in writing by me.
Sincerely,
Your Signature
Give your kids what each of mine carries. The letter that follows is printed on a piece of paper that fits neatly in each of their wallets. You should print this off for your kids:
Date:
To: Any agent, officer, or representative of the government
If you have found this, or been presented with this, then you are holding me against my will. I wish to be released at once. If you believe you have legal reason for still holding me, then it must be for one of two reasons:
1. You believe I have information relevant to a case and/or investigation and need my assistance. I am happy to comply and will in no way obstruct justice. Simply type up your questions and contact my parent/s at (insert number here) and upon review by them and and any attorney they so choose, I will answer any and all that they and their attorney advise me to. Please do not argue about this, or it will delay the investigation, and neither of us wants that.
2. You believe that I have committed a crime. I want to speak with my parent/s and/or the attorney they provide me, and do not wish to answer any questions or make any statement until I do. You may contact them at (insert number here). While doing those things, please see to it that I am given food, drink and bathroom breaks frequently, as I will not ask. Please do not ask that I fill out, sign, initial, check off, or in anyway mark anything for any reason. I have been forbidden to do this by my parent/s until they and/or their attorney, can review any such documents.
Finally, please do not interpret my silence as rudeness, guilt, retardation or anything else but what it is - obedience to my parent/s and their attorney.

Dear ________________________
I am the parent of_____________________ who attends _____________________school. Under United States of America legislation and federal court decisions, parents have the primary responsibility for their children's education, and pupils have certain rights which the school may not deny.
Parents have the right to be assured their children's beliefs and moral values are not undermined by the schools. Pupils have the right to have and to hold their values and moral standards without direct or indirect manipulations by the schools through the curricula, textbooks, audio-visual materials or supplementary assignments. Under the Hatch Amendment, I hereby request that my child NOT be involved in any school activities or materials listed unless I have first reviewed all the relevant materials and have given my written consent for their use:
Psychological and psychiatric treatment that is designed to affect the behavioral, emotional, or attitudinal characteristics of an individual or designed to elicit information about attitudes, habits, traits, opinions, beliefs or feelings of an individual or group; values clarifications, use of moral dilemmas, discussion of religious or moral standards, role-playing or open-ended discussions of situations involving moral issues, and survival games including life/death decision exercises; contrived incidents for self-revelation; sensitivity training, group encounter sessions, talk-ins, magic-circle techniques, self-evaluation and auto-criticism; strategies designed for self-disclosure including the keeping of a diary or a journal or a log book; Sociograms, sociodrama; psychodrama; blindfold walks; isolation techniques; death education, including abortion, euthanasia, suicide, use of violence, and discussions of death and dying; curricula pertaining to drugs and alcohol; nuclear war, nuclear policy and nuclear classroom games; globalism, one-world government or anti-nationalistic curricula; discussion and testing on interpersonal relationships; discussions of attitudes toward parents and parenting; educating in human sexuality, including pre-marital sex, contraception, abortion, homosexuality, group sex and marriages, prostitution, incest, bestiality, masturbation, divorce, population control, and roles of males and females; sex behavior and attitudes of student and family; pornography and any materials containing profanity and/or sexual explicitness; guided-fantasy techniques; hypnotic techniques; imagery and suggestology; organic evolution, including Darwin's theory; discussions of witchcraft, occultism, the supernatural, and mysticism; Political and/or religious affiliations of students or family; Income of family; non-academic personality tests; questionnaires of personal and family life attitudes.The purpose of this letter is to preserve my child's rights under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (The Hatch Amendment) to the General Education Provisions Act, and under its regulations as published in the Federal Register of September 6, 1984, which became effective November 12, 1984. These regulations provide a procedure for filing complaints first at the local level, and then with the U.S. Department of Education. If a voluntary remedy fails, federal funds can be withdrawn from those in violation of the law. I respectfully ask you to send me a substantive response to this letter attaching a copy of your policy statement on procedures for parental permission requirements, to notify all my child's teachers, and to keep a copy of this letter in my child's permanent file. Thank you for your cooperation.
Signed this ___________ Day of ______________________, 2008.

Deliberate Information Gathering
Never doubt or underestimate that CPS is well-trained in their interview techniques. Read the following .pdf file called “Deliberate Information Gathering” to see how they are taught to conduct “interviews” better known as interrogations.

Dear Group,
A CPI (Child Protective Investigator from CPS) told me that she NEVER goes to private schools. She said she also has never been to a charter school, but upon questioning at my daughter's school, CPS has been there.
FYI.
Diana
It is called a 3rd party custody or another possibility is guardianship. These 2 ideally should be done before CPS brings it to court. I know some stuff about 3rd party custody, because I was able to place my 17 yr old in one, before CPS swooped down and stole the youngest 2 :(
Blessings,
Misty

A Utah woman who was ordered by a juvenile court judge to enroll her children in public school or lose custody of them has abandoned her home, furniture and other possessions to escape the order.
Denise Mafi, a nine-year veteran of homeschooling, has confirmed to WND she and her children packed up their essentials – clothes and homeschool materials – and fled Utah over the weekend, spending more than 50 hours on a bus trip to an undisclosed part of the country.
There she has obtained an empty home and is spending the Christmas break trying to find beds for her children and herself. After the New Year she will involve the children in a local homeschooling process.
38% of public teachers pick private school for their kids
Chicago Sun-Times, Sep 26, 2004 by Maudlyne Ihejirika
More than a third of Chicago Public School teachers send their children to private schools, a new report finds.
They are not alone in snubbing the system where they work. Nationwide, urban public school teachers are more likely than other parents to enroll their kids in private schools, according to the report by the Washington, D.C.-based Fordham Institute and based on 2000 Census data.
CPS ranks third among the 50 largest school systems in the proportion of teacher households that send the kids to private school -- 38.7 percent.
That compares to 22.6 percent of non-teacher households in Chicago that send children to private schools.

"That's a pretty scary statistic," said parent Idida Perez, local school council member at Kelvyn Park and Prosser high schools. "What comes to mind is, 'What's wrong with my school that my school's not good enough for your kids?' "
Nationwide, 21.5 percent of public school teachers choose private schooling for their children, compared with 17.5 percent of other urban families nationwide, according to the conservative think tank study, which found CPS lags behind only Philadelphia and Cincinnati- Hamilton school districts in the rate at which teachers send their offspring to private school.
"Public school teachers are savvy education consumers. They know which schools do a good job and which ones don't," said Chester Finn, president of the Fordham Institute. "It's a damn shame that more of their own schools aren't good enough for their own kids, but everyone should be able to choose his or her children's school, teachers included."
This was posted on myspace. I think I will put some of this info on the parent page of my book especially the ones about the warrants, shutting up, and keeping evidence and papers to back you up.
· DO NOT spank your child in public. Avoid yelling and be careful about name calling (Like calling your child a "dummy")
· DO NOT do anything that could appear Sexual with children.
· DO educate yourself on CPS rules and regulations. They violate their own rules and your constitutional rights regularly. DO educate yourself by reading all information available to you from Family Rights advocates sources available on the Internet.
· DO NOT trust any CPS official, no matter how friendly they act. They are not your friends!
· Be aware that CPS can take your children out of class, interrogate them, strip search them, photograph them, remove them from school, x-ray them, medicate them, place them in foster care or other state-run institutions, all without your knowledge, notification or consent.
· DO file a written notice with all medical professionals that you or any member of our family have seen restricting them from discussing your medical history with anyone unless authorized by you in writing.
· DO NOT let CPS case workers or police inside your house unless they have a warrant. If they insist on seeing your child call the child to the door or a window.
· DO NOT open the door. DO tell them you will not talk to them without your attorney present, even if you don't have an attorney. ESPECIALLY do not relent when they threaten you! Demand your Constitutional Rights.
· Do ask them if you are under arrest and free to leave. If not-SHUT UP! If so– absolutely shut up.
· DO NOT GIVE CPS caseworkers or the police any information in defense of yourself. CPS will take anything you say and twist it to use against you. BE firm but polite and courteous at all times.
· DO NOT allow CPS officials to provoke you. An angry response will be used against you. DO keep your composure at all times.
· DO tape record or VIDEO TAPE all conversations with CPS officials or representatives when possible. If you do not have a tape recorder call a trusted friend to come over and be a witness. If possible, have one or more trusted friends present whenever you or your children speak with CPS officials or police.
· DO document all interviews, phone calls, events or altercations as thoroughly as possible. (Write things down as soon as possible after an interview or telephone call. You may have a legal right to record telephone calls. Do so if possible.)
· Do locate and preserve any evidence corroborating your innocence. DO NOT rely on others to do this.
