Brian: Statistical evidence is admissible in Federal Court. More --
The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Reform Act of 1980, as
amended, and it's companion Code of Federal Regulations, are
available in any Federal Law Library.
  While it will not seem *immediately* apparent why I am posting
this to you, upon reading I think you will see that the creation by
Congress of a cash *bounty* of $25,000 ++ per child per year, with
auditing requirements so marginal the Pentagon is giving up toliet
seats, to the States, in combination with the Child Abuse
Prevention Act and it's companion CFR, have created the policy
monster necessary to destroy *any* family, using
pseudo-psychological excuses -- and the cover of Judicial
confidentiality -- under the *guise* of the " best interests of the
children " to accomplish the goal.
   Billions of dollars are at stake, and *both* political parties
have participated in this scam.
   Hopefully, it will become clear that there *is* a strong
relationship between fixed custody cases and foster care cases. You
will also see that it is FEDERAL money that pays for Guardian ad
Litems, which is simply political patronage by local judges.
   Since it doesn't cost anywhere near $25,000 for kids per year,
where does the extra money go? Even Social Service Agencies don't
get all that money.
   New York City Mayor David Dinkins wrote a report called " Failed
Promises " in which even *he* said that the amount *spent* per
child in New York *averaged* $4,200!!!
   Where's the money??? Where does it get deposited? How is it
held? Where does the money come from?
   Monies come from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC);
Social Security and MEDICAID --- all areas plagued by *shortages*
   Of course no one believed the S&L crisis was real either...or
that BCCI had anything to do with Iran-Contra or the Nugen-Hand
Bank of Australia, or that US Intelligence had anything to do with
HEROIN coming out of the Golden Triangle ( see book Politics of
Heroin ).
   What provides some perspective is INGO MULLER's book -- Hitler's
Justice : Courts Inside the 3rd Reich ( Havard Univ. Press ) --
which identifies with particularity a fact pattern that should seem
all too familiar.
   Don't be overly optimistic about the " press " doing something,
in New York, the media is handled by the same judges over and over,
despite the " random " selection of Judges under IAS. That there
might be some overlap by sitting on the same charity or non-profit
boards is just coincidence.
   Don't expect lawyers to come rushing forth: In Oklahoma, a
lawyer was disbarred for accusing a judge of corruption, and even
though the judge was later convicted on bribery charges, the
Disciplinary Committee ( controlled by the Courts ) said it was
only grounds for re-consideration : not re-instatement.
   The only hope is to get organized and cut through the political
rhetoric and get *everyone* involved.
   Most people are surprised that court transcripts can be changed.
   There may be some relief in Federal Courts as per some recent
decisions by the US Supreme Court, but it still won't be easy.
   A trip to the Federal Law Library would be well worth it for any
non-lawyers who have never seen a case cite or statute or read a
legislative history. Maybe try the Christic Institute in
Washington, D.C. Alternative Views in Austin Texas. Peacenet from
APC in San Francisco.
   " Rights are something no one can take away from you."
                              Ramsey Clark.
   If you don't want to go through it again, it has to start with
you.
   Remember Volitaire? " It is dangerous to be right when the
government is wrong."
