Mitchell reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>ALL court-appointed attorneys are paid through CPS, thus are a part of this system. The CPS courts have a tremendous amount of flexibility and plenty of room to manipulate each case to ensure the desired outcome. When Guardian Ad litems, therapists, psychiatrists, etc., do not support the CPS caseworkers\u2019 allegations against the parents, or CPS\u2019s decision where to place a child, CPS will almost always sever, and not renew, its contract with that professional. This has caused a conflict of interest, and has caused professionals not to act in the best interests of the child and parents.<\/p>\n<p>CPS may keep a child in state custody for as long as it wants, for as long as it can. Even though States have internal rules (such as returning the child in three weeks \u2013 in some States, it\u2019s seven days), no one is enforcing these internal rules, resulting in children left in foster care for three months on average, even after CPS courts know the allegations against the parent were false. Supervisors rarely, if ever, intervene.<\/p>\n<p>The more children in foster care, the more money a CPS branch office will receive from the federal government. CPS staff and Affiliates\u2019 salaries are directly affected by how many children the local CPS office places in State Custody. News of these loopholes (financial incentives) within the CPS industry has spread like wildfire throughout local communities. It became known as an easy way to \u2015\u201cmake a buck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Predators, pedophiles, drug addicts and the emotionally unstable gravitated toward CPS foster care as a means to make ends meet \u2013 to pay rent, put food on the table, and subsidize their alcohol or drug habits.<\/p>\n<p>CPS often uses generic terms (i.e., a \u2015\u201d<em>history of substance abuse\u201d<\/em>), without offering any substantiation. A \u2015\u201d<em>history of mental illness\u201d<\/em>\u00a0can be found in almost every CPS petition filed against a parent, without a doctors diagnoses, without referring to an incident or \u2018a history.\u2018 I\u2019ve spoken to mothers who\u2019ve never taken drugs or been in the presence of drugs and never drank a glass of alcohol; yet their CPS petition against them suggests otherwise \u2014<em>\u2018history of substances abuse.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When mental health professional or any expert witness\/professional testifies \u2018<strong>in favor\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>of a parent; (against CPS\u2019s decision to place the child in State custody) CPS caseworkers will insist that the professionals\u2019 opinion\u2019s are ONLY to be used to help CPS caseworkers and CPS employees make \u2018their\u2019 decision; reminding the judge that legal authority (where to place the child) remains solely with CPS (not with the pro\u2019s &amp; experts\u2019 suggestions, evidence and opinions).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Financial Incentives to Create \u201cSpecial Needs\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Excerpts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 1980 Act provided additional financial incentives for prospective foster parents. Its main provisions encouraged foster parents to adopt \u2015\u201dspecial needs\u201d children, who were eligible for the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. Foster parents are paid anywhere from $408 in the South, to $3,990 in Connecticut, per month, per child. The dollar amounts vary from State to State, according to the child\u2019s age, health status, special needs, or \u2015\u201dintensive structural and clinical level care.\u201d The \u2015\u201dintensive structural and clinical\u201d children are the ones who can go for approximately $3,990 per month and up.<\/p>\n<p>More typically, foster children go for $600 to $1,200 a month, with \u2015special needs children coming in at $900 to $3,990 a month, but can go as high as $13,000 a month for a severely disabled child.

The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997 that was instrumental in unleashing financial motivation for taking children is being manipulated by unscrupulous and corrupt agencies and individuals who don\u2019t care about \u201cprotecting\u201d children at all.<\/p>\n<p>ASFA enables this corruption, and many of the problems that we see with children being taken from innocent families could be stopped if the flow of federal dollars were simply cut off.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell discusses these monetary incentives in her report.<\/p>\n<p>Excerpts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>ASFA\u2019s most troubling feature involves its \u2015 \u201cTitle IV-E of the Social Security Act\u201d funding- related amendment. State and local CPS offices interpreted this as a financial free-for-all, unlimited federal funds for the entire community. This law intended to \u2015 \u201cshift emphasis toward children\u2018s health and concerns, away from the policy of reuniting children with their birth parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Days after this 1997 Act went into effect, CPS solidified its role as a Big Business, with American children as commodities. At this time CPS began to remove children from their homes and parents, with weak allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Disgruntled neighbors, scorned exes, angry employees, and envious family members are using the CPS courts as weapons against innocent parents. This has become a common practice in every county. CPS supervisors are encouraged \u2015 \u201cto get there [sic] numbers up\u201d which mean we need more kids in foster care, CPS caseworkers are known to target parents who are vulnerable in some capacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ASFA\u2019s \u2015Title IV-E amendment created a long list of financial beneficiaries at the local levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are anywhere from 150 to 300 counties in each State, there are approximately 2 to 6 CPS offices per county and have more than 300 employees per agency.<\/p>\n<p>Not including all the sub agencies, like Family First and Head Start etc., there are approximately 10,000 to 20,000 CPS employees per state and have approximately 250 agencies\/offices per state, not including the hundreds of CPS affiliates paid under the umbrella of the DHS federal funding that covers an even wider range of employees and services: CPS supervisors, caseworkers, and staff; foster parents; adoptive parents; attorneys; counselors, therapists and psychiatrists; investigators; sub-state agencies such as Family First; private agencies; outside contract agencies, insurance companies, magistrates; classes; child welfare researchers; child development programs; trauma crisis and intervention programs; pediatrics, emergency medicine, and mental health; probate and criminal law proceedings; education and substance abuse treatment.<\/p>\n<p>All of these agencies and individuals receive salaries or supplemental income from DHS\/CPS.<\/p>\n<p>According to Marilyn Rainwater, a retired Oklahoma CPS Supervisor, who worked for CPS for 30 years, \u2015 \u201cIt was drilled into supervisors on the local levels \u2013 if the caseworker did not meet the federal mandates of moving kids quickly in and out of the system [caseworkers interpreting this as taking custody of the child and quickly terminating their parental rights], then that CPS office would not receive the funding needed to keep the office open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are now federal penalties to further ensure the CPS offices deliver their \u2015 \u201cnumbers\u201d (children).<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s troubling is how the \u2015 \u201cmoving kids quickly in and out of the system\u201d language was originally created at the federal level to quickly move the children back home with their parents, and\/or move the child from foster care into a permanent home, with real adoptive parents.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, CPS has re- interpreted it to mean the termination of innocent parents\u2019 rights, and terminating them as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Rainwater has vowed to dedicate the rest of her life to exposing the horrors occurring daily in the current CPS industry. As she shouted out to a packed auditorium at the Sister Giant Conference (in LA, Nov. 2012): \u2015 \u201cWe are killing babies, hundreds of them, they are being raped and tortured every year and then thrown out like garbage, and no one is doing anything about it!<\/p>\n<p>Rainwater continued: \u2015 \u201c<em><strong>caseworkers are shredding the dead child\u2019s files so no one knows about it, caseworkers are overworked\/overwhelmed and have begun to falsify paperwork to reach their\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u2018<em><strong>mandatory financial numbers.\u2018<\/strong><\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Public Is Being Lied to and Data is being Manipulated to Hide the Truth<\/h2>\n<p>Excerpts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>National \u201cintelligence\u201d services, such as the Children\u2019s Bureau\u2019s Child Maltreatment Report, are misleading. For instance, regarding the statistics on foster parent child abuse vs. birth parent child abuse, the birth parents\u2019 high numbers are based on CPS allegations, not on facts.<\/p>\n<p>Once the allegations are proven false, CPS has no obligation to update its original reports, deceiving federal regulators who depend on these reports when deciding how and where to make system- wide adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026statistics reveal 64 percent of foster parents have been \u201creported\u201d to mistreat the children in their care. As said earlier, experts close to this industry know the majority of foster parents\u2019 abuse goes unreported and the percentage of foster parents abusing their foster children is closer to *87 percent, possibly as high as 94 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Since CPS does not report or document abusive foster parents, the only foster care abuse numbers the Child Maltreatment Report has access to would come from local police departments. The Children\u2019s Bureau receives its information solely from Child Protective Services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Drastic Measures to Shut Down the System CAN Happen \u2013 It Happened with State Mental Hospitals<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>The corruption and inconceivable cruelty within the CPS industry are similar to those that once involved this country\u2019s state mental hospitals. In the 1970s, when Dr. Robert Felix, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, was asked to explain his radical decision to close every State mental hospital in the country, he made it clear that drastic measures were called for.<\/p>\n<p>For more than 100 years, the general public knew the mental patients in State (custody) hospitals were severely abused, raped, and medically experimented on, and so on; but the notion of releasing them out into the open was thought to\u00a0be too risky and nobody had any solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Dr. Felix\u2019s courageous decision was based on his statement; \u201c<em>We saw too many people who should have never been in there.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in 1973, the federal government, through Dr. Felix\u2019s recommendations, began to shut down\/close the doors to every state hospital in the United States. It is not a perfect system, but it is more humane.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Ending the\u00a0Corruption and Sadistic Culture within Child Protective Services is the Civilized Thing to do<\/h2>\n<p>The author concludes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Currently, billions of dollars are used to support the barbaric treatment of our most vulnerable citizens.
