Our goals are:
To empower non-offending parents to retain and exercise their right to protect and parent their children
To
educate the public regarding the individual and community health
consequences when systems intended to protect do not just fail to
protect, but re-victimize, injure, and disenfranchise the most
vulnerable. To
educate the public regarding the trend towards fit, loving mothers and
other protective caretakers losing custody to their own (or their
children’s) abusers and/or to the social welfare system, which receives
financial rewards from federal and state government coffers for the
removal of children from their natural families, all too often with
blatant disregard for said children’s safety and well being. To
educate and assist the non-offending parent in protecting their children against sexual
abuse, legal abuse, and developmentally inappropriate custody
arrangements. To
collaborate with legal, health, and social science professionals to
enlighten the media, legislators, and the judiciary about schemes which
minimize and downplay the effects of domestic violence and child abuse,
and which, in fact, often reward perpetrators of the above crimes. Additional Goals for 2008-2009:
- To introduce legislation for the protective parent reform act
- To introduce legislation for better laws to protect children
- Reforming our family and juvenile courts who are putting children at risk of abuse
- Offering a support system for the child and the non-offending parent
- Bring awareness to the community on the issues surrounding the child protection system
- Bring the community together to combat the crimes committed against children
- Bringing awareness to the real dangers children face in their own homes
- Exposing the truth about the dangers children face when they are caught up in foster care
- Speak on behalf of all children who need our voice
- Work to educate family court judges, juvenile court judges who make decisions on behalf of a child in child sexual abuse cases
- Lobby city and county officials on their policies and procedures in child abuse cases
- Bring awareness to the drugging of innocent children who are in the state foster care system. Doctors across our country are prescribing mind altering drugs to children that are not even approved by the FDA for children. These drugs have the highest warning (black box warning) and children are being forced to take these drugs.
Atypcial antipsychotics, such as ZYPREXA, SEROQUEL and RISPERDAL, are approved for treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disease only in adults.Among the side effects of these medications in adults is weight gain and diabetes. Despite these risks, and
regardless of the fact that the drugs are not approved for kids,
doctors in this country, with the apparent encouragement of drug
company salesmen, have dramatically increased the “off-label” use of
ZYPREXA, SEROQUEL and RISPERDAL in children.Although some doctors believe these drugs are necessary treatment for children with psychotic conditions, a
recent study shows that more than half of the prescriptions in kids are
for attention deficit and other nonpsychotic conditions ranging from
behavior problems to bedwetting.The manufacturer of
ZYPREXA announced last year that it was settling 8,000 pending ZYPREXA
lawsuits for $700 million – or less than $100,000 per plaintiff.
Although payment amounts vary according to age and severity of disease,
the money being offered to children, who will have to deal with the
consequences of diabetes all of their lives, is simply not enough. The
manufacturers of ZYPREXA, SEROQUEL and RISPERDAL enjoyed over $10
BILLION in 2005 sales from the three drugs, contributing to total 2005
corporate profits of over $18 BILLION.
Spread the word, children are being forced to take mind altering drugs!

Fight for the rights of your child!
Fight for your child/childrens rights to protection!
Don't ever stop fighting, no matter how tough it gets!
Your child/children have rights, fight for them!
If your child is not getting the protection they are allowed by laws then write or call your legislators, senators, congress, governor, district attorney, until someone listens. We must be the voices for all children and stand for their rights to protection.
Write or call anyone or everyone who can possibly help with the protection of your child. The bottom line is, children count on us adults to protect them and when the child protection system fails them we must continue to be their voices and do not stop until someone listens.
Convention on the Rights of the Child
“We find an incidence rate for child abuse and neglect that is about ten times as high as the incidence rate for all forms of cancer. . . . There is a multi-billion-dollar research base reliably renewed on an annual basis for cancer treatment and prevention. Nothing remotely similar to this exists for child abuse and neglect.”
