Eric Smith Believes Matt Schneider Is Stupid Because He Solicited More Co-conspirators To Lie To One Of The Federal Grand Juries In Detroit

Seriously!?!

Really???

Dude, what part of this do you not understand?

It is not nice to lie to the feds.

You probably pissed Matt off because I am very disappointed in you, considering that you are a licensed attorney. <=====HINT

I wonder what Joe Biden had to say about this....

Oh, wait, I forgot, he is doing the same damn thing...

This is about Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

This is about the industry of trafficking tiny humans.

This is about gerrymandering.

This is about to get very dark, and very deep.

Feds unveil charges against ex-Macomb prosecutor Smith

Eric Smith

Detroit — Former Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith was charged Wednesday with obstructing a federal investigation into whether he stole campaign funds, capping a steep fall for one of the region's top law enforcement officials.

Smith has agreed to plead guilty to one count of obstruction of justice, a 20-year felony, after a prolonged period of turmoil that included a raid at his home, his resignation six months ago and questions about whether he illegally spent campaign money.

Smith tried to get a friend and two unidentified assistant county prosecutors to lie to a federal grand jury and FBI investigators who concluded he orchestrated two fraud schemes to steal $75,000 from his political campaign fund, prosecutors said Wednesday. Smith used the money for personal expenses from 2012 to this year, authorities allege.

Macomb County prosecutor Eric Smith
The 53-year-old Democrat from Macomb Township is the highest-ranking public official ensnared in a years-long federal crackdown on corruption in Macomb County. Since 2016, federal prosecutors have secured the convictions of 22 contractors and public officials, including former Clinton Township Trustee Dean Reynolds, trash mogul Chuck Rizzo and towing titan Gasper Fiore. Former county Public Works Commissioner Anthony Marrocco is awaiting trial on corruption charges.

The case against Smith focuses on lies and campaign cash. Smith controlled the campaign fund, telling donors the money would be used for his re-election, U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said.

"Sometimes that was true," Schneider said, "but sometimes that was a lie. It was a fraud. That is because Mr. Smith stole money from his campaign account and used it for his own personal whims."

Smith will plead guilty to one count of obstruction of justice, his lawyers Martin Crandall and John Dakmak said in a statement Wednesday.

“Never did I trade justice for money or any other benefit,” Smith said in a statement Wednesday. “Let me be absolutely clear: The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office was never for sale under my watch. I acted irresponsibly and recklessly, and I will be held accountable for my actions. However, I never compromised when it came to protecting the citizens of Macomb County and prosecuting criminals.”

The criminal charge was announced six months after The Detroit News exclusively reported that Smith had resigned while pursuing a deal to plead guilty to forthcoming federal corruption charges.

Smith's lawyers were negotiating with federal prosecutors to resolve a corruption investigation that coincided with a separate state probe that in March led to the Michigan Attorney General's Office filing racketeering charges against the county's top law enforcement officer. Smith and three others were accused of participating in a scheme to embezzle $600,000 in county forfeiture funds.

Smith had approximately $55,000 in checks written from his campaign account that was purportedly for renting a campaign office, the U.S. Attorney said Wednesday.

"But that was a sham," Schneider said.

An unidentified associate cashed the checks and gave Smith the money "for Smith's own enjoyment," Schneider said.

In 2016, Smith gave a $20,000 check to an unidentified assistant prosecutor. That person gave $15,000 to Smith "for his own personal expenses" and kept the rest, Schneider said.

Smith also tried to cover up the crimes, the U.S. Attorney said.

In September 2019, Smith learned a grand jury was investigating the use of his campaign account and that FBI agents were planning to interview his associates, Schneider said.

"Smith tried to convince his associate to falsely tell the FBI that the $55,000 kicked back to Smith was simply a loan that Smith would repay."

Macomb County Prosecutor Trafficker Of Tiny Human Resigns Because He Is Now Coming To Detroit - May The Heavens Fall

Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith resigns amid criminal charges against him

Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith speaks about Michigan State Police taking documents related to his forfeiture fund accounts from his office. Detroit Free Press

Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith, accused of embezzlement and misconduct in office over how drug and alcohol forfeiture funds were spent, resigned from office Monday.

The announcement came less than week after the longtime prosecutor was charged with 10 criminal counts by the Michigan Attorney General's Office in a nearly yearlong probe of how his office spent the funds.

Smith announced his resignation in a news release from his office.

It states, in part: "it is with heavy heart that today I am announcing my immediate resignation from the Office of the Macomb County Prosecutor. After much reflection, I know that for the betterment of my family, my health, and the citizens of Macomb County it is time for me to step aside so that the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office can continue its great tradition of serving and protecting the county."

Smith said he intended to "whole-heartedly defend" himself against the allegations.

"I have been part of the criminal justice system for close to thirty years. Know that I have absolute confidence that our cherished justice system will bring forth the truth and exonerate me," he said in his release.

Neither Smith nor his criminal attorneys could be immediately reached Monday.

On Friday, Smith and his former chief of operations, Benjamin Liston, were released on $100,000 personal bonds on criminal charges related to the alleged embezzlement of $600,000 from drug and alcohol forfeiture funds since 2012.

They and two others, including Derek Miller, who was Smith's current chief of operations, are charged in the probe by Michigan State Police.

Investigators found that Smith and other defendants used the money to buy flowers and makeup for select secretaries, a security system for Smith’s residence, garden benches for staffers’ homes, country club catering for parties, campaign expenditures and more, according to the Michigan Attorney General's Office.

Smith, 53, is charged with five counts of embezzlement by a public official and one count each of conducting a criminal enterprise, official misconduct in office, tampering with evidence in a civil proceeding, accessory after the fact to embezzlement by a public official and conspiracy to commit forgery, the Attorney General's Office said.

The alleged crimes range from four- to 20-year felonies.

State Police began the investigation at the direction of the Attorney General's Office following a request in March 2019 by Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel. State Police raided Smith's office and home last year.

Smith provided notice to Macomb County Chief Circuit Judge James Biernat Jr. stating his resignation was effective Monday, and Biernat accepted the resignation.

Prior to his resignation, Smith submitted to the county clerk's office a "statement of appointments" identifying all assistant prosecuting attorneys in the order in which they rank in discharging the functions and performing the duties of the prosecutor's office.

Per the document, Chief Trial Lawyer Jean Cloud is designated as the next ranking assistant prosecuting attorney.

"In light of his 'Statement of Appointments,' there is no immediate lack of an 'officer duly authorized to execute the duties' of Prosecuting Attorney," according to a release from the court. "Accordingly, there is no need for an interim appointment by the Chief Judge prior to the entire Circuit Court Bench convening to appoint a Prosecutor to finish the term until the next election."

The circuit court judges will be accepting applications and set a remote meeting to fulfill their role in appointing a new prosecutor. No dates were determined Monday.

The office of prosecuting attorney is up for grabs in this year's election. As of Monday evening, no one had filed to run for prosecutor, including Smith, a Democrat who had been prosecutor since he was first elected in 2004.

In his release, Smith said that since 1993 he served either as an assistant prosecuting attorney or prosecutor, that he "could never see myself in any other profession" and he was "honored to have stood shoulder to shoulder with so many exemplary people in the fight for justice."

He thanked county citizens and said the office "is bigger than any one person. I know that the office will continue to serve the county with distinction"

In a release last week, Smith's attorneys called the allegations "baseless" and said Smith would continue to run the office.

Hackel said "the right thing for (Smith) to do was step down as being prosecutor in light of these criminal charges."

Hackel, who had been friends with Smith, was not surprised to hear of Smith's resignation.

"I felt he would do the right thing in this situation," he said. "Maybe even for his own self interest, whatever that means. It has to be a decision he makes personally and professionally. He made it, and it's the right decision."

The county Board of Commissioners, chaired by Smith's brother, Bob Smith, was to meet this week to discuss the situation with the prosecutor. That meeting was canceled Monday.

Hackel said that he believes there will be many people who want to become prosecutor.

He said the person appointed by the judges and elected by the voters should be someone with no criminal, moral or unethical conduct issues in their background.

"Now is a time for trust. There's been a loss of trust in government," Hackel said, adding the person should have "an unsullied background."

Smith's resignation comes as the federal government not only is investigating him, but continues a long-term corruption probe that has taken down other public officials in various communities, a garbage titan and a towing magnet during the last several years.

It also comes just two years after Karen Spranger was removed from the county clerk's job by a St. Clair County judge, who ruled she was not legally elected as the Macomb County clerk because she lied about her residency in Warren in her election filings in 2016.

Hackel said he gives credit to Attorney General Dana Nessel "for taking on her role after getting the information from the State Police" in regard to the Eric Smith investigation. Smith, Hackel and Nessel are all Democrats.

"It's not about politics. It's about someone doing the wrong thing," Hackel said. "She's charging one of the more popular prosecutors in the state as well. It wasn't about partisan politics or whether she liked Eric or not."

Macomb County Trafficker Of Tiny Humans Prosecutor Eric Smith, et al, Finally Indicted

What has yet to be unsealed is the trafficking of tiny humans in Michigan.

Yes, Eric Smith, Prosecutor for Macomb County, Michigan runs Termination of Parental Rights cases.

These are cases where his team of tiny human traffickers run some fake ass cases to cover up their activities of Child Protective Services legally kidnapping children of "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) in an act of acquisition of goods, for a foreign nation, to process through some fake ass Foster Care billing for services phantom services, kiddy kickbacks, double, and treble billing to Targeted Case Management of Medicaid, to run through some fake ass Child Welfare NGOs, as they use kids as lab rats in some seriously nefarious phamaceutical and epigenetic experiments, just so they can fund their campaigns, to stay in office, to procure more dumb ass, fake family services, so they can go to the strip club to do lines off the ass of a kid who aged out foster care.

Yes, I said that.

I spied with mine eyes, the lies, of what they do to tiny humans.

#maytheheavenfall

Macomb County also has been running Child Support fraud schemes under Title IV-D, putting fathers in jail, solely for the reasons of hailing from the population of "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).

Heck, I remember working on the case when Macomb County was running an auto theft ring, driving up with tow trucks, towing SUVs out of hotel parking lots in the middle of the night, selling them in Ohio.

The case is out there, look it up.

I did not get into the money laundering through those god forsaken Foster Care and Adoption dens of atrocious inequities.

I have seen these people double bill in Wayne and Macomb Counties.....because they like to borrow the revenue maximizations fraud schemes.

Praise the lord.

Macomb Prosecutor, 3 Others Charged With Felonies

Eric Smith

Macomb County Prosecutor Eric SMITH, assistant prosecutor Derek MILLER and two other individuals have been charged with a litany of felony crimes, including embezzlement, misconduct in office and conducting a criminal enterprise.

Michigan Attorney General Dana NESSEL announced today that Smith faces 10 charges, including official misconduct in office and tampering with evidence in a civil proceeding as well as five counts of embezzlement by a public official. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted as charged.

Benjamin LISTON, retired Macomb County assistant prosecutor and former chief of operations, and Miller, a former state representative, each face official misconduct in office charge while Liston also is charged with embezzlement. Liston faces up to 20 years in prison and Miller up to five years if they are convicted as charged.

Business executive William WEBER is charged with forgery, larceny by conversion, aiding and abetting Smith's embezzlement and receiving and concealing stolen property. He faces up to 14 years in prison if convicted as charged.

Nessel’s office today sought arrest warrants for the four men following a year-long public integrity investigation involving the Attorney General's Public Integrity Unit, the Michigan State Police and other agencies.

"It is my conclusion today, that the following individuals not only violated the bare minimum standards of integrity, they corrupted the justice system and trampled upon the public trust while doing so," Nessel said.

Southfield's 46th District Court Judge Cynthia ARYANT was appointed by the State Court Administrator to sign the warrants after Macomb County 41B District Court judges recused themselves.

Due to the public health emergency and the state’s stay-at-home order, Nessel issued a video today discussing the situation.

Listen to Dana present her transposable model in the Termination of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms for breaching oath of office to protect the children's trust, called posterity.

Smith Et Al Felony Complain... by Eric L. VanDussen on Scribd

Macomb County, Michigan Traffickers of Tiny Humans

CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT
Child Abuse and Neglect Proceedings - Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney

The Michigan Department of Human Services (formerly the Family Independence Agency) is the agency charged with the responsibility for investigating allegations of child abuse or neglect. The Juvenile Division of the Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is the legal consultant to the DHS. This means that an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney will represent the DHS at all stages of a child protective proceeding.

A child abuse/neglect proceeding begins with the filing of a petition with the Circuit Court Family Division in the County where the abused or neglected child “is found”. A petition is a complaint or other written allegation that a parent, guardian, non-parent adult, or legal custodian has harmed or failed to properly care for a child. The purposes of a petition are to frame the issues for the court and to provide notice of the allegations to a respondent (usually a parent). Typically, a DHS Children’s Protective Services worker prepares and files a petition with the court. However, prosecutors, school officials, the Children’s Ombudsman of Michigan, guardians, custodians, and foster parents may file petitions.

If a petition is filed and requests placement of the child outside the parental/custodial home, the court must hold a preliminary hearing to decide whether to authorize the filing of the petition and continue the child’s placement outside of the home. The preliminary hearing must commence no later than 24 hours after the child has been taken into protective custody. In cases in which the child has been severely physically injured or sexually abused, the preliminary hearing must commence no later than 24 hours after the DHS submits a petition.

If the court authorizes the petition at the preliminary hearing, the matter will be scheduled for a pretrial before a judge or referee. At that pretrial the respondent will have the opportunity to admit to the allegations, or a portion of the allegations in the petition, or deny the validity of the allegations contained in the petition. If a respondent admits to the allegations contained in the petition, the child will be made a temporary court ward. If the respondent or respondents deny the allegations contained in the petition the matter will be scheduled for a bench trial before a judge or referee, or a jury trial before a judge.

If a respondent admits to the petition, or if a referee, judge or jury found after trial that the petitioner proved at least one of the allegations by a preponderance of the evidence, the child is made a temporary court ward. The matter must then proceed to an initial dispositional hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to determine what measures the court will take with respect to a child properly within its jurisdiction and, when applicable against any adult. Generally the court orders regarding a plan for reunification is based upon the recommendations of a DHS Foster Care Specialist. Prior to the dispositional hearing the Foster Care Specialist will have met with the respondents, conducted a family history, and drafted a parent agency agreement which lists all the services the DHS believes will assist the family in reunification.

Following the initial disposition the court will schedule periodic dispositional review hearings. The purpose of these review hearings is to monitor a respondent’s progress in complying with and completing the court ordered remedial measures. The respondent, respondent’s attorney, the Foster Care Specialist, an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Foster Parents, and any professional involved in the treatment plan may participate in a review hearing. Dispositional review hearings must be conducted every 90 days. The court may order additional reviews sooner than every 90 days if the court deems it necessary.

Permanency planning hearings are conducted to review the progress being made toward returning home a child in foster care, or to show why the child should not be made a permanent court ward. A court must hold a permanency planning hearing no later than one year after an original petition was filed. The permanency planning hearing is conducted in the same manner as the review hearing described above. However, at the conclusion of the permanency planning hearing the court must order the child returned home unless it determines that the return would cause a substantial risk of harm to the life, physical health, or the mental well-being of the child. If returned home, the child may be dismissed as a court ward, or may continue as a court ward to monitor the adjustment to the home environment. If the court determines at a permanency planning hearing that the child should not be returned home, it must order the DHS to initiate proceedings to terminate parental rights.

Upon the filing of a supplemental petition, the court will schedule a termination trial. If the child is already a court ward the respondent has no right to a jury trial. In certain cases of severe physical abuse, or sexual abuse the DHS may request termination of parental rights in an initial petition. Once a court finds by clear and convincing evidence after trial that a legal basis for termination exists, the court must terminate parental rights unless termination is clearly not in the best interest of the child. Parental rights to a child include the rights to custody, control, services, earnings, and inheritance. If all parental rights to a child are terminated, the child will be placed in the permanent custody of the court for purposes of placement and where appropriate, adoption. Termination of parental rights does not extinguish an obligation to pay child support.

JUDICIARY: VAWA Reauthorization Hearing - Jolly Jerry Forgets Truth In Testimony, ICWA, TPR & Its Legacy - My Colored Commentary

U.S. Representative Cedric Richmond is the first elected official to state "Termination of Parental Rights" into the congressional record of Judiciary.

A quick overview on the history of VAWA.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security will hold a hearing on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) which officially expired on September 30, 2018, but was briefly extended in continuing resolutions before expiring in December 2018. The hearing will examine the broad range of issues related to the harms inflicted upon women, men, and children in America through domestic violence, sexual assault and harassment, dating violence, and stalking, as well as Congress’ role in addressing these issues. The hearing will also explore the potentially devastating effect of not reauthorizing VAWA, and the tremendous impact a prolonged lack of funding could have on millions of survivors across the country.

Ratcliffe spoke in defense of Faith Based organizations being left out of the reauthorization of VAWA.  He raised the political partisanship in passing the extension.

No mention of CPS, foster care or adoption, but Julie Beck spoke about the Lesbian Powers of the LBQRSTUV Community in gender identity laws without broaching anything DNA database related.

She spoke about child sexual abuse.

Unfortunately, there was no one to properly expound upon the gender identity laws under chattel law, more intuitively known in the legal world as Ecclesiastical Law, which is being pushed through Public Private Partnerships in the rebranding of parental rights and the children's trust funds.

Fathers have been victims of VAWA in the layers of fraudulent billing in child support and child welfare programs, where there have been instances where a man identified as an aggressor strictly for the purposes of a mother obtaining services.

Yes, you have to check the box in order to access help.

Yes, the VAWA programs are crap, riddled with fraud, which brings a judicial determination to turn on the federal funding spigot for Targeted Case Management, Medicaid fraud.

Ramona Gonzales did speak of children being removed, without saying foster care, if there is a domestic violence situation which is why the national data of child abuse and neglect are corrupt.

Sarah Deer spoke of Native Tribes inability of prosecuting non tribal members or even crimes of child abuse and against women.

Odd how she never mentioned the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) or its history of how the tribal constitutions developed, who was behind it, and the tribal exile based upon the blood quantum rule, as opposed to the one-drop rule.

It is time to address, in formal hearings, ICWA and all the covert "military" operations, including drug, child trafficking and money laundering on the reservations.

Gohmert got raw by asking the LBQRSTUV Lesbian why women must have "women only spaces" by loosely comparing it to "blacks only spaces". She responded by saying, "if women could experience these women only spaces, they will see how wonderful it is."  I would suggest she spend time in a women's only prison or go help mothers who have had their children legally kidnapped get them back.

Gohmert just brought up female genital mutilation as a violence against women, carefully guiding to the fact that it happens to girls, not women.

Richmond spoke on Termination of Parental Rights, as one of his first cases out of law school. No one has ever spoken upon this before.  He also mentioned CASA.  He made history.

Lieu spoke upon lack of resources for domestic violence survivors, homelessness, poverty, etc.  On a side note, your children can and will be removed, placed in foster care, under VAWA if you hail from "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).

How to stop discrimination and increase to access to domestic violence services for LBQRSTUV individuals: report fraud!

Yes, many Faith Based private contractors will not only turn their noses up at a LBQRSTUV individual seeking help, they will advocate termination of parental rights if there is a child involved.  Take for instance any christian child placing agency, perhaps, I shall use Bethany Christian Services, which is notorious for ignoring its foster children who are gay and ask for help from being raped.

Perhaps, we can go as far back as St. Vincent Sarah Fisher Residential Institution who never wanted to do anything when it came to little boys being raped by bigger boys, or men, because, homosexuality is frowned upon in self reporting to DHHS, which is why the typical form of help is to drug the pain away with Medicaid cost reimbursed services and  testing second generation antipsychotropic human subject lab rats for corporate sponsorship.

Heck, Faith Based child placing agencies will not even allow LBQRSTUV to adopt.

Grand Rapids does not allow LBQRSTUV youth into its homeless shelters, but I digress.

VAWA has turned into a Social Impact Bond experimental social services program and not a reparative response to the residuals of the peculiar institution, its original intent, a step to end human trafficking of women.

It seems Jolly Jerry of Judiciary forgot the Truth in Testimony, the bios, and legacy of VAWA, but then again, he was probably more focused on his impeachment proceedings because not everyone is allowed due process of the law, right?

How Russians Run The U.S. Child Welfare System: Real Estate, Political Campaigns & Child Support

Child Support Order
CREDIT: Lamont Cassell 

Eric Scharfenberger speaks to the Judicial Council of California on how his child was Legally Kidnapped and was forced to pay child support that he could not afford through the financial fraud schemes of Title IV-D.

Unfortunately, he failed to mention the other child welfare fraud schemes in Medicaid, Title IV-A, B, & E.

Shirley Moore was the first in California to pull the corporate and land records to find out that there are separate corporations that own the functions of the courts, where the checks are made out to the corporation, and not the government.

Then, he also failed to recognize MAXIMUS, the privatized contract administrator of child support for California.

Did you know MAXIMUS also funds political campaigns with child support?

So, in essence, this father should ask Bob Goodlatte to give all that Title IV-D campaign money back to the children.

This is just an example of the amount of money MAXIMUS wastes in pervasive, privatized contracts, specifically targeting "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) that end up engaging in complex financial fraud schemes to fund political campaigns and trust funds.

The following article is an example out of Wisconsin.

MAXIMUS Awarded $11.7 Million Enrollment Broker Contract for Wisconsin Department of Health Services

RESTON, Va., July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced that it has signed a new contract with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to operate the state's Medicaid Enrollment Broker. The contract was awarded on November 1, 2017.

"MAXIMUS has proven experience in providing customer contact operations to nearly 45 million state Medicaid beneficiaries across the country, demonstrating our status as a market leader for Medicaid. We look forward to assisting the people of Wisconsin with understanding their health insurance options and choosing the health plan that best meets their needs," commented Bruce Caswell, President and Chief Executive Officer of MAXIMUS.

This is the asset management of MAXIMUS, called ALPHAROCK.

Everyone meet Max Shishlyannikov, the man who invests your child support payments, including the arrears and administrative fees, into political campaigns and real estate and whatever other dark projects they are into.

Sometimes MAXIMUS will just keep the child support a parent pays.

Sometimes MAXIMUS will even get contracts to administer other child welfare programs, like foster care and adoption, and skim, oops, I meant to say "optimize profits" from Medicaid.

I wonder how much TARP MAXIMUS snatched through child support.

I wonder how many political campaigns were funded through child support.

We should go ask Bob Goodlatte because he should know why Judiciary refused to address the issues.

CPS and family court abuse - Million Parent March 2017 - with Connie Reguli

On September 18, 2017, parents and family members of children who have been legally kidnapped by privatized state actors through Child Protective Services came together in Washington, D.C. to bring awareness to fraud in child welfare which includes foster care and adoption.

I tried it once.

No elected official cared then, and no elected official cares now.

Why?

It is too big to fail.

That is why I do what I do.

Families & Children Justice: Carnell Alexander On Fraudulent Child Support Judgments

Debbie Williams, host of Families & Children Justice interviews Carnell Alexander on men who are ordered by the Michigan courts to pay child support when DNA demonstrates they are not the biological father.

Carnel Alexander tells his story about incarceration, asset forfeiture and other civil rights violations for defending false claims of the courts.

Court finally stops trying to make Detroit man pay child support for child that isn't his

DETROIT (WXYZ) - Carnell Alexander says he got a shock during a traffic stop in the early 1990s. The officer arrested him, telling him he is a deadbeat dad.

When he appeared in court Alexander told the judge, he didn’t have any children. The court told him to find the woman.

The court gave him an old address. When he couldn’t find her, he says was told he would have to pay.

“It is such an unfair system,” said Alexander. “Period.”

He later learned that while he was in prison for a crime he committed as a young man, an ex listed him as father on an application for welfare benefits. Notice of the paternity hearing that followed was taken to his old house.

When he didn’t appear for the hearing he didn’t know about, he was made dad by default.

U.S. v. Israel: Which Is Worse In Child Welfare?

Children are commodities, always have been, but the question is who monetizes child trafficking better?

U.S. or Israel?

I am going to say the both because in the U.S., we use corporations of the tax exempt God which are funded through your federal tax dollars.

Catholic Charities

The League of Jewish Women

How far are you willing to go to save your children?

Shared Parenting Bill: They Forgot To Include The State Of Michigan

If you are going to promulgate a piece of legislation which promotes a presumptive joint custody doctrine in dealing with child custody and guardianship between parents, you must include the State of Michigan.

What about the State of Michigan's parental rights?

Michigan House Representative
Jim Runestad, Chairman of
House Judiciary Committee

What about Michigan Children's Institute?

What about Title IV-D funding, double-dipping fraud schemes?

What about legally defining and codifying the term "parent"?

What about termination of parental rights?

What about reinstatement of parental rights?

What about defining parental rights?

What about parents with disabilities?

What about incarcerated parents?

What about staggering sentences?

What about deportation of parents?

What about previously being charged with abuse and neglect cases, where many, many of these cases are based, waist deep, in the claim of moral turpitude for "failing to provide for the best interests of the child", otherwise known as having exclusive BRIDGE card carrying membership as "The Poors"?

If a parent is dependent upon the State of Michigan to provide for the necessary needs of the child, then the state is the de facto parent, and, as such, qualified to jump into any custody/guardianship case.

One cannot just allow legislation to cut into the State's privatization child welfare schemes.

Duh.

Notice there is no fiscal analysis as of yet because they know, and they know well, that I am going to rip it apart.

Jim Runestad has been rolling in the mud of Michigan Child Welfare for as long as I have been, so all I can do is honor him for listening to the people, which is more than that thief, Michigan State Representative Rosemary Robinson, and her nefarious son have done.

Rose Mary Robinson voted in the Michigan House Judiciary Committee in opposition to this Bill, just to let you know.

Oops, did I just say all that? (snicker)

Required joint custody bill passes Michigan House panel

LANSING — Absent reports of domestic violence, judges would be required to award joint legal custody of children to divorcing parents under a bill that passed the House Judiciary Committee today.

With the standard of parenting changing dramatically over the past 40 years — from including same-sex marriage to an increasing number of people having children out of wedlock — reform is needed to remove discretion from judges in child custody cases, said state Rep. Jim Runestad, R-White Lake, who sponsored the legislation.

“We looked at county by county statistics on what happens in custody situations and what we found out is that the custody arrangements are not determined by the kind of parent that you are, but the judge in the county,” he said. “We have study after study of the benefits of shared parenting. It’s a tremendous benefit for the children.”

Linda Wright, of the National Parent's Organization in Michigan, earlier this month said she saw the ill effects of a single parent family when her husband died in 1998.

"While we can't protect our children from the loss of a parent resulting from death, we certainly have the ability and responsibility to do everything possible to prevent the loss of a parent that occurs through divorce," she said. "The children are innocent victims here."

But the bill aroused a flood of opposition from judges, advocates against domestic violence, family court employees and the family law section of the State Bar of Michigan.

“This bill presumes that one form of custody is best for all families and that’s equal time,” said Rebecca Shiemke, of the Michigan Poverty Law program. “And that’s not necessarily true.”

Logistically, shared parenting time would make it difficult for some parents to find jobs, children could feel lost between two households and child support awards could become a bargaining chip for a parent who doesn’t want to pay a higher amount, she said.

“Some studies report that children complain that they don’t feel they have their own home in shared custody situations," Shiemke said. "We’re a much more mobile society now and with a focus on parents needing to work and have to split time with their children, it’s going to make it harder for parents to find work.”

And child support is based on the number of overnights the parent has with the child. The bill would require that no parent receive more than 200 overnights with their children in a year.

“That would reduce the child support burden that one parent would have to pay to the other,” Shiemke said.  “So a parent could get a lower child support obligation and then just not exercise their equal time.”

In testimony prepared for the committee, judges Kathleen Feeney and Brian Kirkham of the Michigan Judges Association said the bill puts the best interest of the child behind the interest of the parents.

"This presumption (of shared custody) disregards the actual facts as to which parent provides day-to-day support, maintenance and nurturing of the child and instead substitutes the mere presence of a parent," they wrote.

The provision that a judge must give substantial weight to the preference of the child also will force the child to publicly choose sides, they added, "and thrust the child into the middle of a contentious battle between their parents. The ensuing animosity and hurt feelings will linger well after the custody battle is over."

The bill would:

• Require a judge to grant joint legal custody and substantially equal parenting time, unless there’s a preponderance of evidence of domestic violence in the family.

• Prohibit a parent from moving more than 80 miles away from the other parent.

• If a child is 16 or older, the child's preference on custody has to be given substantial weight by the judge.

After only two days of testimony earlier this month, the bill — HB 4691 — passed the committee Tuesday on a 6-3 party line vote with Republicans voting for it and Democrats opposing.  Runestad said a vote on the bill is not expected in the full House of Representatives before they adjourn for the summer later this week.

"I want to continue the dialogue with all the stakeholders so that nobody feels left out," he said.

ACYF & Dr. Stephen Baskerville On Immunity and Public Corruption In Child Welfare

I just so happened to run across this video.

These are my old school running buddies.

We were the first ones on the internet to address the fraud in child welfare as family rights advocates.

We all came together in the first, national rally against the racketeering in child welfare.

Below, is the policy authorizing immunity for criminal misconduct referred to in this video.

These are professionals.

Dr. Stephen Baskerville, was a political science professor at Howard University at the time and has written a book on the matter public corruption in child welfare.

We were some wild and crazy guys back then.

I am getting old...not really.

What Happens To Kids When Parents Get Locked Up?

So much for the successes of PRWORA and ASFA.

In the fight for justice reform, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has published the following report on the impact of welfare reform and criminal justice on child poverty of the last 24 years.

It is not good.

What is not mentioned in this report is the rate of incarceration of parents who cannot afford child support.

When a parent cannot afford to pay child support, they go to jail, even though jail is not the same as prison, it is still incarceration.

What other thing this report does not mention is that, through the promotion of the privatization of prisons, many are stripped of their right to vote in most states, as they have been convicted as a felon.

So where do many children go when a parent is incarcerated?

Foster care and adoption.  Yes, that is correct.  Children of the incarcerated are placed in an economic environment of poverty, leaving many children no choice but to approach the child welfare system, voluntarily, of course, to be reported as child abuse and neglect, for "failure to provide for the necessary needs of the child".

Poverty is the crime of child abuse.

The other kids, if lucky, will live with the one parent, a relative or on the streets.

In some situations, parental rights are terminated.

Guess who pays for child poverty?  You do.

As the U.S. prison population surged during the past several decades, so too did the number of children and families experiencing the consequences of having a loved one incarcerated. 

From 1980 to 2000, the number of kids with a father in prison or jail rose by 500 percent. 

Now more than 5 million children have had a parent incarcerated at some point in their lives, including 503,000 in California, 477,000 in Texas and 312,000 in Florida.
