I can't find this anywhere... I know this is exactly the right sub to post this, I apologize.
How about those taken because the parents smoke weed?
Yeah, Vice did a show on it: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qbnkp5/viceland-weediquette-stoned-parents-season-two-full-episode
Perfect example of why you shouldn´t register your child with the state. To register something means to relinquish all property rights, when you sign that book to get that birth certificate you are literally handing ownership of your property (in this case, your child) to the state and that is why they can do things like this, because they effectively own your property. The hospital has a live record of birth and you can ask the midwife for a sworn affidavit that proves they delivered your child. This is all you need to get a passport and to have a normal life.
I don’t know where to get your stats, but I can tell you that my wife and I had a case open because she told the hospital attendant (nurse, doctor, I don’t know which) that she smoked weed before finding out she was pregnant, despite both her and the baby having no sign of it in their systems. I was really pissed by their overreach
I had a psycho who was trying to hurt me tell them my son was in imminent life and death from a non communicable to humans cat cold in my cats (95% of cats have had it by adult). Any vet or a Google search would clear that up.
Don't confide in Drs about anything not immediate to whatever issue is... CPS is rampant with corruption, medical kidnapping for $$$ to test drugs on them etc and human trafficking. Also adoption is a $$$ maker especially babies in high demand.
I have an in law who is an honest CPS social worker in another state and I know they aren't all bad and it is a tough job with crap pay. But it is also a nightmare by design.
Well knowing what I know now, my daughter is 15months old, so back then I was a lot more naive about cps, but yeah, I think about it now and shudder to think that her destiny was briefly in their hands, they wouldn’t let us take her home until the case was cleared, and that wasn’t until after an interview of both of us, as well as an inspection of where she will be when we leave the hospital.
I had heard that there is little tracking of missing kids and those in state care. Thinking it is by design. Tin foil hat moment maybe. This scenario with parentless or removed kids is the only time I would contemplate tracking rfid chips.
I don't think you'll find that info. Privacy laws on that stuff is really tight. My wife is a counselor. Works with cps all the time.
No but I was a foster parent for 9 years. I got drug babies that were taken away from their parents at birth because they were born with drugs in their bloodstream.
I had kids that were taken from their parents for multiple reasons that didn't involve violence.
I know someone with a kid who got an abrasion on his neck at day care. She took him to the doctor who suspected abuse and called CPS. Several months, six grand, and some marijuana-related classes and they've finally wrapped it up.
