Val, May i suggest do not look for any help in the return with

My stepdaugher had to wait to her age to 16 to come home,

DSS told her that she would not to come home to her age to 18.

Write your reply.

assistant: A new theortical model, methodology and expert report protocol
have been developed based on a sociology of knowledge approach. It is
specificly designed to meet the new US Supreme Court criteria for identifying
valid science.  It is now being used as a basis for expert testimony in a
custody case involving allegations of child
abuse.  It is being specifically used to analyze the reports of expert
psychology and social work witnesses to determine if testable, falsifiable
and refutable theories and methodology (the new standards) were used in
reaching their respective conclusions. Anyone interested in additional
information may call me at (501) 470-9747.
     What may be the first civil suit against a social worker alleging
negligence and incompetence in a child abuse case has been filed in Arkansas
(the first case in Arkansas, that is).  The social worker invloved is
purported to be one of the top child abuse experts in the State.  Stay tuned!

I would appreciate the courtesy of your adding it to NCMC BBS.  To this end,
I would offer to deliver it daily, until such time at it attains backbone

Write your reply.

assistant: CHILD_ABUSE_ISSUES
Moderator:  Rick Thoma
Origin:     FIDONET 1:271/124
Scope and Purpose:   The Child Abuse Issues conference is intended to
provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas and of opinions.  The
conference is open to parents, educators, legal and law enforcement
professionals, social workers, individuals involved in related fields
of research, advocacy and support groups, as well as other interested
individuals.  It is the sincere hope of the moderator that we shall all
draw benefit from the open and honest exchange of information.
While any reasonable individual would certainly agree that child abuse
and neglect are fundamentally wrong, the issues surrounding abuse and
neglect are often more complicated than they may appear.  Reasonable
efforts extended toward the detection or prevention of genuine cases of
abuse or neglect are laudable, yet some maintain the implementation of
programs designed to protect children have often been demonstrated to
lend themselves to administrative abuses.
Questions have recently arisen as to whether the models and methods
employed by those entrusted with the task of detecting or preventing
abuse are, in all instances, to be relied upon as accurate indicators.
Open and honest discussion of these issues, offered herein by way of
example, would be well within the scope of this conference.
Issues of more immediate concern to parents might be signs or symptoms
to look for, suggestive of abuse in instances of shared custody, or in
the school or daycare center.  How a parent may become better prepared
to distinguish between actual, imagined, or maliciously alleged abuse,
would also be included as among relevant topics for discussion.

assistant: ended on the east coast about 90 mins ago on HBO[1].
the lead DA portrayed reminded me very much of the lead prosecutor on
the Swan case.
there are too many sick people in positions of power.
and history repeats itself. [sigh]
it took 7 years for the McMartin case to close and another 5 years to
get the story out in a coherent form that many will be exposed to over
time. those who don't read take longer to get the news.
and from the outset, they knew they had no case but were swept in media
attention and monomania. what a waste.
how long until the Swan case gets to HBO? what the hell is wrong with
people?

assistant: Hi Nancy,
Things not feeling too good down home Texas way?  I can relate.
I just took over as moderator on a conference where there is virtually no
traffic at this time.  I hope it will improve.
Anyway, I do read what is posted here and when I have something of value,
I try to make a contribution.  Did you see my recent post of the Citizens
For Justice newsletter?  Anyway, several contributing factors are that:
The conference moderator of Victims has been working overtime and has not
participated, some of the others are traveling.  Good weather has broken
out in the otherwise damp Northwest and everyone is trying to get sun
burned.  The economy is not very good and people, myself included, are
limited in what they can do, owing to need to eat, etc..
In addition to working, moderating, corresponding for Citizens, and a
civil rights suit I am winning (I think), I can always find time to tell
you, or anyone else who has difficulties, that you are not alone and that
many people are working very hard to make things better for you, and all
of us.  I know it is a small consolation when you are hurting and need
relief *now*.  But it takes longer to do a good job and make permanent
and constructive changes, sometimes.
Please feel free to post me a note anytime you want to talk.  I should be
available since I upgraded my broken computer.  Glad to do what I can!
Yours truly,
Don
