Keeping Your Kids
In the “Help! Government Kidnapped My Child!” article (October 23, 2017 issue), Joe Wolverton II, J.D. wrote about government abuse of its citizens through Child Protective Services (CPS), a misnomer if there ever was one.
Wolverton is to be commended for explaining the “abuses” by parents that CPS uses to justify taking children from them, such as homeschooling, resisting forced vaccination, or otherwise not being fit to raise their children, with the definition of such “fitness” being so broadly defined by “bureaucrats as suits their own ends, not the purported purpose of the agency, that is, the best interest of the child.”
The kidnapping of children by the state is a grievous transgression of our constitutional rights, a fact that the author does not mention until the fourth page of his article: “If CPS tries to barge into your home, you can inform them of your rights, and even quote the Fourth Amendment.” He further says, “Should they try to barge into your house anyway, you have every right to call the authorities, or even initiate a court hearing regarding their lack of adherence to the Constitution.”
