No verification, marks, injuries or bruises are needed. Children are not examined by independent medical personnel to document evidence of abuse or neglect. Children are isolated and questioned alone by caseworkers who employ the tactics of leading questioning, pressure and manipulation. Caseworkers may strip children and examine them in a state of nudity. Without warning, children are whisked away from their homes and schools, their parents, families, friends, toys, pets, neighborhoods everything that is safe, comforting and familiar to the child.
Scenarios represented are from actual cases.
This type of behavior by government agents is intolerable and unconscionable. The abrupt and brutal severance of parental bonds in this manner is extremely terrorizing and traumatizing to children. It is cruel and inhumane and leaves lifelong scars. Every vestige of security and comfort within the child is shattered forever. The child's belief in their parents' ability to protect them is broken forever.
