Mom And Dad Fight Back

This video features Russian immigrant parents who live in California, and have a sick baby, who has had heart surgery. The mother was concerned about her baby's care, and transferred him to a different hospital. Then, after the baby was discharged from the second hospital, the first hospital sent child protective services to visit the parents! Child protective services took a bunch of arrogant cops along, and one of them even began to pull his gun out of the holster when the mother asked to see a warrant for the visit. Then  they proceeded to grab the baby and take him to an undisclosed location, telling the mother that it was "irrational" for her to want to know where! Now a lawsuit has been filed against child protective services and the hospital.

Meanwhile, back in Northeast Kansas, a young couple who happen to be the parents of two active toddlers recently got a knock on their door from child protective services. The couple told child protective services that they wanted to see the warrant before they came inside the house. The social worker did not have a warrant, but pretended to call someone, to get a warrant. Unfortunately, the couple fell for the bluff, and it most certainly WAS a bluff; no judge in his right mind would actually grant a warrant for the reason child protective services visited this family. It seems that someone had called child protective services on these parents because their children often go about barefoot!

What really happened in the "case of the barefoot children" was that someone felt like picking on the childrens' parents and called child protective services. Child protective services knew that this couple is not rich, and as they are both very young, possibly did not know their rights. Also, the family is white, and many perspective adoptive parents ask specifically for white babies and toddlers. Had Kansas gone ahead and snatched those children, their parents may never have seen them again. It's a big moneymaker in Kansas. And that's why certain teachers and school administrators should really stop calling child protective services every time they decide they do not like a parent. Since Affirmative Action is almost meaningless in Kansas, most of the chronic CPS callers are white, and have white children. And since white children are exactly for whom most perspective adoptive parents in Kansas place orders, guess who could also be targeted......? That's right; the next time a fair skinned blond child belonging to a chronic CPS caller gets a sunburn, or plays in the park or in the street unattended, as per the habit of Northeast Kansas, the parents of the barefoot toddlers may pick up their phone! After all, if it works for one vindictive jerk, it can work for another. Income, age, education, and experience with life may or may not make a difference if you enrage innocent parents enough by attempting to engage child protective services because the parents change health care providers or allow their children to go barefoot. It's only a phone call.

 

Another Set Of Adoptive Parents Loses A Child

Okay, where have I heard this before? A couple decides to adopt a child who has been questionably acquired by their state's child protective services, then changes their minds, and the child disappears. No one makes a missing persons report. Years down the road, a sibling, or step or adoptive sibling, reports the child missing. The adoptive parents tell police that the missing child ran away, or went to live with natural parents or grandparents. Seriously. These people took a page from the playbook of Doug and Valerie Herrman, who "lost" their adopted son, Adam Herrman, in Kansas, in 1999. In 2009, Adam was reported missing by a sibling.

Meanwhile, Erica Parsons is still missing.

 

Witten Children Of Topeka Found Safe

The three missing children from Topeka, Stephanie, Seth, and Michelle Witten, were found safe while playing in a creek after having been missing for almost twenty hours. It appears that they ran away from home, as they had camping gear and clothes packed in backpacks. Their adoptive parents had left them alone, and they apparently are not happy where they are, so they ran away. The three are biological siblings, and were adopted in 2007. Perhaps they missed their real family. I saw an interview with the adoptive parents, and they did not seem terribly concerned about dangers such as child predators or kidnappers. In fact, they stated that the oldest of the children had run away at least once in the past, and seemed resigned to the routine. Perhaps someone should ask these children why they are so unhappy, and why they continue to run away. Just being a pair of white, blue-eyed, normal to slightly low IQ Christians does not mean that a couple will be ideal parents. Granted, Kansas prefers this.



 

Newsflash Adam Herrman Update

Well. Court on June 21 of this year for the Herrmans, those wonderful, Christian adoptive parents approved by Kansas Social Rehabilitative Services, has been called off. Doug and Valerie Herrman went ahead and copped a guilty plea. They will pay restitution of $15,000, after stealing over $50,000 of Adam's money, and pay a $2,500 fine. Wow. Theft and embezzlement must be legal in Kansas. They didn't even have to discuss the last time they saw Adam or try to help locate him as part of the deal. I realize that this is how "things have been done for years and years" in Kansas, and that this little boy did not really matter to anyone in the community, (he matters to me, though........I will be up front with everyone about that!) but doesn't he still have rights? Such as the right to be looked for when missing? Or the right to his parents or adult siblings when the state's crappy foster care arrangements don't work out? Oh....I keep forgetting......no one knows better than the state...........where's the eye rolley when I need it??

Here is the information about today's plea from Doug and Valerie. The sentencing is on August 1. I may still go to that, since Adam's story moves me, and I feel that Adam deserves to have a mother sitting in court just for him, even if it is not his own mother. I am hoping that his own mother will be there for him, too, along with the rest of his natural family. I also want to make one more thing clear with my presence: it is NOT acceptable for Kansas to just allow foster and adopted children to endure abuse after abuse in these good Christian, approved homes and families. And it is NOT acceptable for foster and adopted children to go missing or turn up murdered at the hands of these so-called "parents", I don't care how long Kansas has "done things that way" or how cultural it is here! I intend to write a letter to the Butler County, Kansas State's Attorney, as well, to inform them of my dissatisfaction with the way this case has been handled. At that time, I will also share it with you, on this blog.

Here is a picture of young Adam Herrman, and an age enhanced picture.
