Whereas We The People of the United States Of America declare all child abuse to be a criminal act; and whereas we find the Department of Human Resources and Child Protective Services is a federally funded service agency that destroys families and severs children from their family body without Due Process of Law, by ambuscade, allegation, obscurement of facts behind the laws of confidentiality, for the benefit of federal and state funding streams, and receiving bonuses and bounties without charging anyone with a crime. Therefore, for the protection of Children and Families from abuse be it enacted a Constitutional Amendment by creating a new section to be added to and made part of The Constitution Of The United States Of America:

| 929 | 1:12 am PDT, Apr 30 | Camille Lee | WE NEED YOU, WE NEED YOUR HELP There are organizations working on your behalf. Working to change public policy, the cruel money motivated laws that were designed to legally kidnap your children. Working to provide you with safe environments to express your feelings without them being used against you. Teaching you to defend yourself in court so you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on Attorney’s who are not defending you well. There are thousands of websites of complaints of slander, stories of severe parental alienation abuse and intimidation, memorials for children who died in the custody of DFCS, but that is not enough. Your presence is vital. I know how you feel. You are in pain and I am in pain with you; but you are not destroyed, you are not broken and you have power. That is why you have been oppressed, because the powers that be understand your power better than you do. The greatest deception of all is to make you think you are powerless, because you are not! Come to the events, they are educational and you can find out first hand what is being done, what is not being done and what needs to be done! Come to our meetings because your efforts can make a difference. Join our committees so you can contribute your talent. Your attendance will bring awareness to this situation. We want the press, congressmen and the general public to know what is being done to you. We want this to come into the light, because our oppressors want it to remain unknown. There are millions of people just like you and I want to know who you are, where you are and what has happened to you so we can work together to stop this. This is not a sales gimmick or some other fruitless waste of your precious time. This is a call to you and everyone else who has been viciously falsely accused by DFCS and who have lost the most precious part or their lives, their children! TOGETHER WE CAN STOP WHAT IS BEING DONE TO YOU AND TO OTHERS! www.oneoutofmany.org |

| 927 | 7:51 pm PDT, Apr 21 | Anonymous | I'm signing this because I've got a grandchild that has been in the system for 6 months. they keep giving me the run around. |
| 926 | 12:00 am PST, Feb 16 | Anonymous | cps took my granddaughter forom the hospital after her birth they found traces of barbituits in her, although doctor cody waggnor prescribed this drug to my daughter during her pregenacy, she has the proof. they took the newborn placed her in their system over an hour away from my daughters house (she has no transportation). they left my 4 year old granddaughter in the home because THEY (cps) said the 4 yr. old was not in any danger, I think their laws are twisted, i passionatily voiced my concern to them about how one child is safe and another is not. its been three long months now with no hope in sight. one week ago they made my daughter aware of the fact that there was treatment available to her(go figure, 3 mos. later). now, because i care and im hurt and feel helpless, and i demand logical answers from cps,well needless to say i ticked them off, they are now trying to take my 4 yr. old g-daughter, whom has never even been babysit by anyone other than family. she also attends pre school and dance lessons, and tell me I have to do a criminal back ground check to keep her overnight,I am not a criminal, but I also refuse to play their games. my granddaughter is my world, and im not playing their games at the childs expense,I have been raped from loving the new baby who is almost 4 months old now, not sure how old she will be when her mom and i get to love her, touch her, kiss her. the cps placed this baby with a woman who was in the process of getting her foster license. a stranger who walked away with my granddaughter, now they are going to try to take my other one. this is a nightmare and inhumane. and nothing can be done to stop them. i am consumed by all of this. how unfair. i will skip state if cps takes my 4 yr. old., she has never been abused, and I will not stand for cps to place her someplace where there is tha possibility of this happening. there is a big difference in people who are prescribed drugs, and people who phisically, mentally and sexually abuse children, where is the justice here? |
| 925 | 9:14 pm PST, Feb 8 | Victor Del Rio | What started out as an earnest honest effort to secure my child's F.A.P.E in public education was a cynicism creating obstacle course that lead to his mother and school district, et al, collaborating to rid me of my parental rights. No job, no child, and an outlaw. |

| 909 | 4:07 pm PDT, Aug 17 | cora simmons | I am grasping out to 50,000 people to donate $1.00 to help me get my grandson back which is the attorney cost |
| 908 | 7:46 pm PDT, Aug 7 | Sharon J. Thomas | I have just witnessed two cases of the Lumpkin Co. GA DFACS that involved the violation of constitutional rights and child cruelty against two females, 15 and 16 yrs. of age. In the second case my 33 yr. old niece physically, verbally, and emotionally abused my 12 yr. old great-niece and grossly neglected her and her two year old sister. LC DFACS did NOTHING to the mother. I was an eyewitness, turned her in for child cruelty and gave my testimony. Enough of these 'Police State' tactics by DFACS. |
| 907 | 10:45 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Matthew Glaspell | Cause cps is always on peoples cases about things and sometimes the things aint important, cps picks at parents so much it looks like they doing it to make parents fall apart or crack and loose their temper or go off the deep end. So cps can have their way. Some of the stuff cps does is not fair and hurts kids more than they were when the kids was with their parents. |
| 906 | 10:34 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Emily Glaspell | I dont always feel all the children that cps takes and the parents that loose their rights deserve this, so many constitutional rights are broken and rules and regulations bent to allow cps to get what they want and some of these families are really innocent people just trying to raise their kids and be a happy family. |
| 905 | 10:29 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Ashli Glaspell | Cause cps is 2 noisy when it comes to personnel business and it dont have nothing to do with the way they raise their kids. |
| 904 | 10:25 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Rose Glaspell | I agree with this petition cause cps opens people up with a case for some dumb reasons when their are parents out there that are really abusing their kids and getting away with it, while parents that are getting turned in out of revenge are suffering with cps in their life. |
| 903 | 10:19 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Warren Masters | cps needs to chill out and get off peoples back, they pressure people and damage people and emotionally abuse people. Most dont deserve this. This makes teens never want to have kids. |
| 902 | 10:12 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Shawnna Masters | cause cps needs some major changes in how they deal with the people they open as a case, they need to investigate better before making any rash decisions. |
| 901 | 9:51 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Krystal Bates | I think people need to fight for their rights against the cps dept. they try to walk all over people but they can be stoped, people have rights they need to find out what they are and use them, dont take this fight back, keep your family together. |
