user: You are replying to All about "Warrantless Search".

Write your reply.

assistant: I seek advice regarding a search of my home conducted last month by the Los
Angeles County Division of Children and Family Services and the Los Angeles
Police Department. This search was instigated by my vindictive ex-wife, who
lost a custody battle. Two Police officers and a DCS social worker appeared
at my doorstep at about midnight, and threatened me with arrest if I didn't
step away from my doorway to let them in. Each of my three children were
woken and interrogated by the social worker, who asked them questions about
"being left alone," i.e. having their older sister babysit. (The children's
ages are almost 5, 9, and almost 12. The oldest child babysits infrequently,
and for short periods of time.) The oldest child was particularly upset
because the social worker also asked her which parent she liked the best. She
has had frequent nightmares after this incident. During the
interrogation, two more squad cars arrived. Before they left, my livingroom
was swarming with Police. One of these officers followed me throughout my
home, and looked around the premises.
So far, I have written letters of complaint to an LAPD police captain, an LA
County supervisor, and the U.S. Attorney's office in Los Angeles. The only
response so far has been from the LAPD, which claimed that it acted
appropriately.
I am considering filing a civil suit against the City of Los Angeles and
County of Los Angeles for violating my 4th Amendment rights. I would
appreciate any advice on who to contact or how to proceed.

assistant: Parens Patriae History
This is to All, but Rick (Thoma) I couldn't resist this: your tagline Parens
patriae Resource Center for Parents.
A quote from "UNCLE SAM'S KIDS - Child Abuse and the Abuse of Power" by Allan
Carlson in the January 1993 issue of Chronicles:
"In 1839, that state's Supreme Court ruled that the Philadelphia House of
 Refuge could incarcerate a girl over her parents' objections and without
 formal legal proceedings.  The court based its decision on a new legal
 principle -parens patriae- or "the parenthood of the state." Under England's
 chancery laws, -parens patriae- had allowed the Crown to assume a parental
 role to protect the estates of wealthy orphans. But the Pennsylvania Court
 expropriated the term to justify the termination of parental rights..."
Thomas Fleming must have known what Carlson was writing, because from the
ame
issue of Chronicles, Fleming says:
"As Allan Carlson points out, one key to the process of children's liberation
 is the concept of -parens patriae- , which can be used to justify state in-
 tervention not just in cases of real abuse but even when the choice is only
 between good and better environments for a child. Although the soft-on-crime
 Supreme Court justice Abe Fortas dealt a blow to the doctrine in his - In re
 Gault - decision, judges, legislators, and journalists still operate on the
 assumption that neither mother nor father really knows what is best for the
 child."
Rick, keep up your excellent work.

Court case:
BIVENS v. SIX UNKNOWN NAMED AGENTS OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF NARCOTICS, 405 US

I suggest you contact the Southern California chapter of the ACLU. Actually,
Webster Bivens himself, a non-lawyer, resides in Los Angeles, and is still
active in assisting pro-se litigants file so-called "Bivens Writs". There are
a very few document-preparation outfits, such HOW2 (Phoenix, AZ,

I'm grateful for the input. Actually, I did write a letter to the Southern

contact Webster Bivens?

Write your reply.

assistant: Just a short note to inform everyone that a conference has recently
been added to the backbone by Dave Warwick, and another is currently
in the process of soliciting REC requests for backbone distribution.
While not directly related to the topic at hand, there may be some
information of tangential value to be found in these conferences.
[begin forwarded clipping]
        I just wanted to make a shameless plug for our new echo,
BIRTHMOTHERS! Since nearly 1 in 5 people are touched by the issues of
adoption, there is a need to support not only ADOPTEES (*you _DO_
carry ADOPTEES don't you?*), but those mothers (and fathers) who were
forced, tricked, or co-erced into giving up the baby God had given
them.
        If you thought that most BIRTHMOTHERS "gave away" those
children because they just didn't want them. . .you are sadly
mistaken.
        Link up today, and resolve those issues, or, maybe begin that
search before it is too late.
[end]
As for the second conference, someone is currently trying to backbone
FOSTER, which deals with Foster Care issues.  I've put in a request
through my NEC/EC to help it along.

Write your reply.

assistant: Dear Valery:
Please accept my apologies, for I think I did not respond to one of your
messages when I was back in Reno, NV.  When I first found the Vfalsac conf.,
I was the greenest PC user & still greener at BBS's.  Had lots of problems
getting myself equipped w/programs, help, and time to do my search for help
with my daughter's case.  Overwhelmed.  When I finally began to get regular
on BBS's, we had to pack, move & drive, unpack, resettle....  It was the re-
settling which caused the total lack of contact for me: new to Houston, I
couldn't even find computer stores which knew what a BBS was! Finally someone
directed me to a PC users org. Now I've had problems w/my computer & w/off-
line reader, plus numerous time crunches; not to mention we're getting in-
volved w/prison ministry here.  If I sound overwhelmed, I am, but I try not
to complain because there are so many real problems in this world.
I just recv'd my video, Corrupted Innocence, from Velma of Reno VOCAL & will
view as soon as I find a new friend w/a video mach.  I am still trying to
find the VOCAL conf., so forgive me if it's inappropriate to mention it here
(?).  I wrote to Wimberly, pres. of VOCAL, months ago now, w/no response.
Some people wrote to me, I think in the VOCAL conf., whom I will try to write
as soon as I find all my print-out messages.  (Moving, they say, is somewhat
like having a fire--I imagine they refer to the disruption to one's life.)
I just posted to Rick Thoma, asking him for input.  If you don't mind reading
my msg to him, I'd welcome your opinions/thoughts on the same questions.
So good to find this conference again!
Bless you; may you be overcome by blessings.
