PROTECTING YOUR CHILDREN
By Ray Thomas Copyright © 2002

They forced the children to take Nyquil to make
them sleep. The children were forced to live in one room that contained no furniture
so they had to sleep on the floor. They had no access to bathrooms and were forced
to "do their business" right there on the floor and live in the stink. They yelled
slurs at
them, and videotaped them being physically and sexually abused. Should the child
protectors snatch these children from these abusive parents? Probably not, since
they had already been snatched. The people who did this are the foster parents with
whom they placed these children after they snatched them from their real parents.
For that, Florida's Department of Children &
Families will pay $5 million taxpayer dollars to settle a lawsuit filed on behalf of
six
siblings who were physically and sexually abused while in foster care. In the suit, it
was claimed that state workers "ignored clear signs of danger" and allowed them to
be adopted by foster parents who starved them, locked them up, and beat them.
Why would they do such a thing, you ask.
My answer is simple: they don't care. They snatch children from guilty and innocent
families alike because each child "in the system" pays them a set fee every month
from the feds and the state. Plus they can get more fees when they can coerce the
parents into "counseling" and "parenting classes" for which they (the parents) must
pay. When they can place these children in a foster home that costs a little bit less,
they're money ahead and staff, from workers on up to the director get bonuses that
allow them to share in the bounty. It is my contention that these people involved
should not escape from having to pay for their crimes. They should each be sued for
personal assets, as is allowed when government agents violate the constitutional
rights of the people they rape -- and violate the constitutional rights of these
children
and their parents they did, with abandon.
Ordinarily, damages in state negligence claims are capped at $100,000 (you try
"capping" claims against individuals and see how far you get), but since they
evidently violated the civil rights of these children the state (the taxpayers,
really) are
subjected to a greater penalty (Unfortunately, the people who did the violating don't
pay a penny of that. The worst that normally happens to them is to lose their jobs.
More likely, they'll just be transferred until the public forgets their names.).
Named in the suit were DCF chief Kathleen Kearney and five unnamed DCF workers
(Why unnamed?).
The reason the case was settled was to get rid of it, since the department is under
intense criticism right now for "losing" 5-year-old Rilya Wilson, who had not been
visited by a worker in 15 months, although the paperwork said she was. They're still
searching for this child as this is written. The case for which they were sued, had
many similarities to the Wilson case, in that caseworkers failed to regularly visit the
children, and that various units within DCF overlooked problems in the foster parent's
backgrounds and turned a "blind eye" to the children's distress. At least they didn't
"lose" these children.
The foster parents, Frank and Jackie Lynch, had one of their own daughters
removed from their care in 1987 for sexual and emotional abuse, according to court
documents. Jackie Lynch's other three biological children were put under protective
supervision by the court, but were left in the home. DCF was aware that Frank Lynch
"had abandoned his biological children," had been arrested for obstruction of justice,
and had fallen $16,000 behind in child support payments. By the department's own
standards, rules, and regulations, the Lynch's home should never have been
licensed and re-licensed as a foster home.
But the DCF not only licenses them and placed these children in their home, they
promptly forgot them. The children's lawyer said that not a single DCF worker
documented a visit to the Lynch home in the first 20 months of their care there. They
left these children in the home even after learning that Jackie Lynch's 15-year-old
son was arrested for indecent assault and videotaping a 14-year-old girl having sex
with him.
They ignored other signs, too. In 1992, the children's day care operator told DCF that
Jackie Lynch refused to keep the children at home when they were sick and was
"uncooperative." They neither investigated the allegation nor visited the children to
see if they were well. In February 1992, a volunteer guardian appointed by the court
to monitor the children told DCF that the children were withdrawn and cried easily.
The guardian claimed that the oldest boy had "changed dramatically" and was like a
"whipped dog." DCF did not investigate the claim, and demanded the guardian be
taken off the case. The guardian was removed and the Lynches were allowed to
adopt all six children.
In August, 1997, the children were removed from the Lynches "because of the
pervasive abuses they suffered while at their home," according to the court record.
Later they were placed with a new adoptive family, which brings up a question: did
DCF collect the $4.500 to $6,000 "adoption fee" from the feds when they were
adopted the first time? And will they collect the fee again for the new adoption?
If this is an example of how the child protectors "protect" our children, they should
be
disbanded and all their employees imprisoned for egregious child abuse. But will
they? No. They'll plead poverty and not enough personnel. They'll be investigated,
then they'll get a big budget increase and be told "go forth, and sin no more." Next
year there'll be another scandal and they'll plead the same way and get yet another
budget increase. Count on it. That's the way it works in Colorado. Then more
children will die, be sexually and physically abused in foster care, and be "lost."
This
is the way they operate. I've seen it happen over and over again because I pay
attention to these things. But they do an excellent job of keeping it a "local story,"
as
a rule, so nobody knows just how pervasive this problem is nationally and even
internationally.
They're in it for the money, and they don't care what happens to the children they
snatch so they can put them up for adoption, collecting money from the state and the
feds all the way, ending with the $4,500 to $6,500 (or more) fees. The higher amount
is for "special needs" children -- and guess who gets to define whether or not the
child is "special needs." By the time they get to the point where they're adopted,
they're all "special needs" because of the treatment they get at the hands of the child
abuse -- protectors and foster parents.
All you good foster parents out there, don't write me to complain. I know most of you
are good people. The point of this article is that the child protectors just don't
care if
you're good or bad. All they want to do is get the children "in the system" and
adopted, preferably as "special needs" children. That's how they all make their
money.
