Critics
respond to ACS
In answer
to your
I am sure
Sharman Stein from ACS is a fine person doing her public relations job and being
paid to defend ACS, but let’s look at the facts. She begins by comparing ACS
reasons to police reasons to intervene. I want to point out that in the same
way as there is police brutality, there is ACS brutality and ACS brutality is
much much worse.
She calls
the kidnapping of Black and Latino children “removals”,
I call them more accurately kidnappings. She can be safe that ACS would never
“remove” a child from her: she does not qualify.
She says
that “we take steps to help a parent fix the problem”. Ask parents and they
will tell you that this is not accurate, but rather a Public Relations spin or
a cruel joke. After the tragic death of Nizxmary
Brown the “removals” almost doubled. How can ACS explain that all of a sudden
parents started abusing their children at a double rate? Or it was rather that
ACS had gone into protective mode by protecting themselves rather than the
children.
The fact
of ripping children from the people they love and trust the most,
is such a perverse act that leave them psychologically scarred for life. No
wonder that 75% of them end in the prison system. Most of the
rest as homeless or mentally ill. The State Legislature uses the number
of children in foster care as the best predictor to build more beds for the
ever growing prison system. I suggest that if ACS were sincere they should read
the study The Pernicious Effect of Emergency Removals at http://www.parentsinaction.net/english/Advocacy/Pernicious_Effect.htm
ACS is
the enforcement arm of the Child Slave Trade. They feed the profit-driven
foster care industry that preys on those who oppose the least resistance:
People of color who are not rich. I suggest ACS read the report Children as
Chattel at http://www.parentsinaction.net/english/CHILDREN_AS_CHATTEL.htm
You
mention the Guinea Pig Kids being used at the Incarnation Children’s Center in
ACS
happens to be the biggest child abuser in NYC. For any child they may help,
they destroy 1,000. Either moron’s logic or clever evil
social engineering.
The scam
counts with the unconditional support of the family court judges who are
appointed by the Mayor and who work for him (as the ACS Commissioner does) and
who rubber stamp anything that ACS does and wants. There is no Jury Trial or
Due Process in Family Court and a generous estimate is that parents win about 2
cases out of every 1,000 in a 1028 Hearing in Family Court.
ACS is
not getting better but rather worse. The only thing they are getting better is
the public relations strategies. For further information on how this cruel scam
has been set up, see our presentation on the Cradle-to-Prison Pipeline Industry
at the First US Social Forum at http://www.parentsinaction.net/english/Events/USSF1.html
Ms. Stein
claims that “we do a lot to support teens who are
aging out, like helping them to go to community college.” Of course, after
having damaged the mind of that child, they want to show off by sending him/her
to college. If they really cared about children, they should leave them with
their natural protectors and in those few cases where there are problems,
should help those families with voluntary services. ACS and all those who make
a living from this scam want to defy the laws of nature and on top of that the
laws of economics. Who is going to believe that oxymoron? They are really
preparing teenagers not to college but to the prison system.
