Families Forever
The Issue
Abolish Child Protective Services (CPS) and Foster Care Systems
To: United States Congress and State Legislatures We, the undersigned, urge you to abolish the Child Protective Services (CPS) and foster care systems in the United States. The current system is flawed, prioritizing profit over the well-being and safety of children.
The Issues:
1. CPS removes children from loving families based on false accusations, causing irreparable harm.
2. The foster care system prioritizes profit, with CPS agencies and foster parents receiving financial incentives for each child in their care.
3. Children are bounced from home to home, never experiencing stability or permanence.
4. The adoption process is lengthy and expensive, making it inaccessible to many loving families.
Our Demands:
1. Abolish the current CPS system and replace it with a new agency focused on supporting families, rather than separating them.
2. Establish a facility in every county, dedicated to providing temporary care and adoption services for children. These facilities should be fully funded by the government and provide adoption services free of charge.
3. Ensure that these facilities are staffed with trained social workers, counselors, and medical professionals who prioritize the well-being and safety of children and families and the reunification of families is top priority and must be done as soon as possible if it is possible.
4. Implement a streamlined adoption process that prioritizes the best interests of the child and eliminates unnecessary barriers and costs.
5. Provide education, training, and resources for social workers, adoptive families, and community members to ensure that every child has a loving and permanent home.
6. Police departments will be the sole authority responsible for removing children from families, but only when there is concrete evidence to believe the child is in imminent danger.The police must have undeniable evidence to remove a child from their home. They must receive a warrant for removal of a child. Also no warrant should be given without concrete evidence.There should be no investigations on anyone's home without proof of wrong doing. Also we would like anyone who illegally removed a child from their home held responsible and for the law to give them kidnapping charges weather that be through lying to remove the child or doing it without evidence. All parties involved can be punished and their should be no statue of limitations on a time frame of when they can face accountability. There will be no more qualified immunity for any CPS worker or any person who has anything to do with removing a child from their home without the proper concrete evidence.
7.This will eliminate false accusations and ensure that children are only removed from families when absolutely necessary. By signing this petition, we demand that our government prioritizes the well-being and safety of America's children and families. Every child deserves a loving home,and sometimes families need help and it's time we make that a reality. A system focused on families being forever.
8. Counselors will not be in charge of deciding weather or not family counseling takes place family counseling starts the day after kids are removed.
"When you see broken beyond repair, I see healing beyond belief. That's the difference. God brings people together, while the devil seeks to destroy families and separate you from your loved ones. Sometimes devils come disguised as everything you've ever wanted. There's nothing God cannot do; He'll part seas and move mountains to help you.
In life, we're tested. God allows the devil to test His people. In the Bible, people's faith was tested many times. Daniel was thrown into the lion's den but stayed faithful to God. Job lost his entire family, yet he fell to his knees and praised God. Everyone says they want to be saved, but when it comes to having faith in God, they stand in the midst of their storm, fearing the boats will tip.
God says today: have faith. God will bless you for following Him. One day you'll mount wings like an eagle, and you won't grow faint. You'll rise up to heaven and be judged. So before you curse someone else, know you're only cursing yourselves. Everything you do will come back to you like a boomerang.
It's time to abolish the Child Protective Services (CPS) and foster care systems. The current system is flawed, prioritizing profit over the well-being and safety of children and families. We need a system that supports families, rather than separating them. Here's what we demand:
Do not let counselors decide weather or not a family can do family counseling. Family counseling starts day after removal and parents should be involved in the new system that is built ,giving them rights to come to the facility and see their children daily at no cost. No parent should be denied a relationship with their child. Also with parents permission family members can see the children as well.
No more profit from taking children. We will use donations and pay people the lowest minimum wage to take care of the children in the new facility. There should be one nurse and enough consolors to complete everything families need. In every facility there should be a ratio of 6 babies under age of 1 to one person at a time
12 children ages 1-2 for two staff members.
From ages 3-17 children will be in groups of 25 for one care taker. Children will remain together in one huge room only the under 1 section will be separated from the sleeping area of the other children. They will also need 2 kitchen people working around the clock at all times . All workers will have to agree that reunification is there goal for these children and if any member of the facility talks badly about a parent to a child it will be immediate termination. Depending on the amount of children is the amount of workers that will be needed. Also to take away cost it can be a position that is considered voluntary that accepts people who are willing to volunteer. Also it can be a position where people can serve their community services at eliminating the cost of paying workers to take care of the children.
Childrens parents will receive an updated report weekly explaining everything that has happened with their child in the facility and it will be emailed to parents.All records and medical reports and everything will be given in email weekly. No excuses it's a parents right to have their child's medical and school information this includes all pictures of the child! Also if any injury occurs and any child is hurt the parents will be notified immediately unless they are up for adoption.
Children will have a donation of clothes to go through in the facility.
Toys can be donated too.
Our government will no longer fund taking children from parents when it's not necessary in any way shape or form besides paying for the things the kids and families actually need like buildings and the electric bill and gas and water tv and Internet and repairs if needed also the children will be given school items that will remain at the facility when they leave. The government will pay for food and medical of the children and the medical needed for families to get help they need. Also the government will fund a play ground and a nice indoor play room .Our government will no longer give any money to anyone's pockets for removal of children other than to reunify families and help families. Instead the government will fund reunification and free adoptions.The entire facility will be under 24(7 surveillance where everyone in the world including the parents can view the footage. The front door will be locked and have to be opened. There will be armed guards in the building.The medal detectors will be gone through by everyone. Anyone who carries a gun in the building will spend life behind bars without a trail or a hearing . No harm will be done to children in the facility. The facility has 1 month to reunify the family. No extensions every family deserves reunification. No dragging it to court or making parents pay to see their kids. No more making parents pay court fees to be a parent.
We the people demand that our rights as parents of our children are respected by the government.
In the only case where children are removed and put up for adoption immediately will be because a death of a child occurred for reasons of abuse neglect that caused murder with evidence that the parent is at fault not by hear say by proofe. Also children will not be given back to parents who have raped anyone. With proofe that a parent has raped someone is enough to remove the children and place them up for adoption immediately with concrete evidence not hear say.
One month reunification and children back in their own homes. This will insure the system works towards reunification and regardless of what's completed or not parents will be able to take there children home in one months time if they don't need rehab.
In cases where parents need rehab the parents must comply immediately with treatment and get the help they need in order to take their children home they must complete the rehab they need. Children will remain taken care of by the facility until the parents complete the program that is needed to recover.
Parents that are in jail they must find family members to take their children and if they are not able then their child will go up for adoption if they are in jail for murder or rape with concrete evidence.
Child can be released to family members or friends if family members or friends aren't murders or haven't raped anyone they will be approved but the facility must have the parents permission to place them with a family member.Also the requirements to adopt that you can't have murder or rape on your record. No more going through courts to adopt children just volunteering to help the children in the facility is enough to make you eligible to adopt. Bonds can be established at the facility.
The facilities will hold fund raisers and events to help raise money in there county to fund the facility to help the government from having to pay all cost Communities will have to come together to take care of the children in need.
These events will include family fun for the entire county that is affordable and fun for families.
The facilities will be in charge of helping bring communities together and helping families in need.
The facilities will all be called Families Forever in every county and the facilities will accept donations 24(7 . That the government will receive every dime of donations and be able to help give families and towns what they need out of the money.
Building fun activities around towns for families to enjoy for generations.
Families Forever is a facility that was designed to help a broken system that is taking children for profit. Some families need help and it's time we build a facility that is kind and caring to the situations these families face
Families Forever supports keeping families together.
I think that being able to help families thrive should be America's top priority.
All I know is America is paying far to much for foster parents to pretend to care. These children need their families and things have to change.
The facilities top priority will be to help families in need . Also it will ensure children's safety.
- Abolish the current CPS system and replace it with a new agency Called ( Families Forever) that will be focused on supporting and helping families.
- Establish facilities in every county for temporary care and adoption services, fully funded by the government to help families.
- Ensure these facilities are staffed with trained professionals who prioritize the well-being and safety of children.
- Streamline the adoption process, making it free for all families who wish to adopt. Background check and classes provided by the facility.
- Provide education, training, and resources for social workers, adoptive families, and community members.
When it comes to removing children from their homes, we need undeniable evidence, not hearsay or speculation. The court cannot obtain a warrant without concrete evidence that a child is in imminent danger they need proof. The police department should be the sole authority responsible for removing children, and they must have reasonable grounds to believe the child has been harmed and concrete evidence of wrong doing not hear say.
No more false accusations, no more using the system to win custody battles. Let's prioritize the well-being and safety of America's children and families being forever. Every child deserves a loving home, and it's time we make that a reality.
*Reforming Child Protective Services (CPS) and Foster Care Systems Petition*
To: United States Congress and State Legislatures
We, the undersigned, urge you to abolish the CPS and foster care systems. The current system is flawed, and it's time for change. We demand a system that supports families and prioritizes the well-being and safety of children and families.
No more weaponizing courts against another parent with lies if a parent is proven to make false allegations then a case will be dismissed with prejudice and not be able to ever be reopened. Also the parent who was falsely accused will receive full custody of the children and have say so over the childrens lives so that parent will decide when or if the children ever gets to see the parent that made false accusations. So parents will be able to know that alinating a child to hate their other parent is unacceptable and they will be punished by loosing all rights to the child. Also this can't be undone not anywhere. So it's sending a message grow up and be kind to your child's parent get along why because if you don't you can loose your kid forever and it will be up to the parent that was falsely accused weather or not you get to see the child until the child turns 18. This is important because children need raised up to be taught to tell the truth also children are not weapons to use to try to win a custody battle. If both parents are doing this then the child will be placed with grandparents or relatives. No more judicial harrasssment. The judge will need to shut it down and see to it that it never happens again. The child's best interest is not to be growing up in the middle of the parents dislike for the other parent it's damaging children to have to be drug through the system all because someone's ex hates them and never runs out of lies to take to court. It's no longer acceptable. Parents deserve to be respected and children deserve the right to love both parents if one parent tries to take that away from a child then they loose all their rights.Right there and then. This will prevent parents from using the court as a place where they can just lie about a parent and try to erase a loving parent out of childrens life's. If we gave people consequences so severe then they wouldn't want to risk loosing their children by lying and trying to be greedy and pushing a loving parent out of a kids life. Parents would be forced to get along. Especially if parents are divorced.
By signing this petition, we demand that our government prioritizes the well-being and safety of America's children and families .Every child deserves a loving home, and it's time we make that a reality.
Let's stand united as one nation under God and make our country a place where families matter and are treated fairly by people in power. We are all Gods people. How we treat God's people matters.
