Tyrannical states attack the family. Both the Nazis and Communists are infamous for state intrusions in family affairs. In the United States, similar bureaucratic and political intrusions come from family courts. Howard University professor Stephen Baskerville is the leading authority on these courts. The only parallels are the ideological-bureaucratic dictatorships of the last century.
Family courts claim immunity from the Constitution and from scrutiny by federal courts.
Their orders are enforced by bureaucratic police who do not wear uniforms and whose sole responsibility is to conduct surveillance over families and private lives. As such, these police are akin to secret police . By the very nature of their jurisdiction, these courts and police are the most intrusive and invasive arm of government, and yet they are accountable to virtually no one. Such an institution is intolerable in a free society. The child suffered serious side effects from the drug, but parents no longer have the right to decide what is best for their children.
