The Child Was Loved Until The State Stepped In

As I read this letter from the U.S. Health and Human Services to the States, I became absolutely disgusted knowing that nothing will ever change.  The reason why is because of the privacy laws in child welfare.  It would not be in the best interests of child welfare organizations to tell the truth.

The truth is the failure of HHS to even recognize that children are Legally Kidnapped and put in foster care for reasons other than what the child abuse propaganda will brainwash you to believe.  A child can be put into foster care because of poverty, a lack of medical coverage, the fact the parent is an undocumented immigrant, or parental rights to a previous child has been terminated based on the preceding items in this list.

In all these instances the child was loved until the state stepped in.

The States will not do anything due to the simple fact that the privatized child welfare organizations will never face any penalty of their actions.  Ever.

Let me give you an example.  Foster care caseworkers perform Axis III diagnoses.  A visiting physician will come through and see a child for less than five minutes to write a script.

States do not even report incidences of rape, suicide and torture in foster care so what makes you think they are going to be forthright in reporting polypharmacy let alone justification of labeling kids with the labels that killed Rebecca Riley.

Rebecca Riley (April 11, 2002 – December 13, 2006), the daughter of Michael and Carolyn Riley and resident of Hull, Massachusetts, was found dead in her home after prolonged exposure to various medications, her lungs filled with fluid. The medical examiner's office determined the girl died from "intoxication due to the combined effects" of the drugs Clonidine,valproic acid (Depakote), Dextromethorphan, and Chlorpheniramine and that her heart and lungs were damaged due to prolonged abuse of these prescription drugs. Police reports state she was taking 750 milligrams a day of Depakote, 200 milligrams a day of Seroquel, and .35 milligrams a day of Clonidine. Rebecca had been taking the drugs since the age of two forbipolar disorder and ADHD, diagnosed by psychiatrist Kayoko Kifuji of the Tufts-New England Medical Center.

State Medicaid Fraud Control Units are typically housed in the State Attorney General's Office.  The State Attorney General advocates for these child welfare organizations and the state, which is the legal guardian of foster children.  To prosecute the entities it contracts and pays would be a severe conflict of interest and would put a financial strain upon state revenues.

How can HHS even think it can develop "webinars" to stop this multi-billion dollar industry of drugging children?  This is not even a bandaid, this is like pretending the shit the elephant just dumped in the room does not stink.

Come on Pamela, George and Donald.  I expect much better from you.
