assistant: That's the question, isn't it, Roger?  I'd be interested to see if there is
an instance in which the federal government so much as cut back on a
municipal agency budget, for failure to either follow guidelines, else
failure to allocate (spend) all of their funds.
I have obtained a number of USDHHS Administration on Youth and Families
interim memos, policy interpretation question documents, grant administration
guidelines, policy announcements, etc.  I'll try to find something
"concentrated" enough to post here, as much of the information is scattered
throughout the several hundred documents, the most recent of which are in WP5
format.

What conference would that be?
I may have missed your newsletter posting, could you give a brief recite of
what you consider most important.  We have all been busy.
Just remember how long WW II took to win and the enemy is not much different.
 The psychologists and social workers responssible for this attrocity have to
be defeated in the judicial, political, economic, and scientific arenas.
There are people fighting in all of them.  What is the basis of your civil
rights suit?  I have been working in the science arena, I developed a new
theoretic model and methodology that meet the new scientific requirements for
testifying as an expert witness.  I am now being used as an expert witness
(Sociology of Knowledge) for the first time.  My function is to review the
record and reports and determine if the psychologists and
social workers used valid science and methodology in reaching their
conclusions.  You are also correct about another thing.  What we lack in
economic resources we must compensate for with patience and creativity.  In
the future we will have to get together and build a monument to the people
who were killed by these morons.

Hello David,
We aren't looking to them for help at all.  In fact, when they first
became involved we told them "When we want your help, we'll ask for it."
distinct possibility of having to do battle with them again in court
next month.  I don't count on anything but lies, deceit, corruption,
and devastation at their hands.  They have no interest in the children,
unfortunately.  It's a shame that no studies have been done on the
after effects of the damage that CPS and DSS does to the children.
Perhaps it's time that someone does a study on it.  Within my extended
family (including cousins) there has been 5 needless cases of CPS/DSS
involvement, and every one of them have led to emotional and/or physical
damage to the children.
I'm so glad your daughter was able to come home.  We have a Public
Defender and he is trying to help us get our daughter home.  He has his
heart in our case and we are hoping for the best, but we will not
surprised by whatever they pull next.
CPS isn't telling my daughter anything.  In December the court said
six months of foster care for our daughter, by the end of January she
still hadn't been told when she *might* be coming home.  I'm sure glad
that in your case DSS was wrong!
Talk to you later, and thanks for the advice!

assistant: I agree with you that that is the question; however, I have a further
question and maybe you can help me.  I agree with the legal stuff you
guys seem to be doing for people falsely accused, but I was wondering
if there was anything of a more psychological nature to support someone
who has been falsely accused and imprisoned overcome that trauma?  This
relates to someone in my family who has been falsely accused and I KNOW
it was false because this person is not physically able to do what they
were accused of, although that is not something I can  "prove" in
court.
Anyway, is there any help around for someone like that who has been
pounded away at by counselors they were sent to by the courts who were
trying to force them to admit something they didn't do?
I want to be up front with you folks.  I am, myself, a "survivor" of
abuse and you may have seen me on some of the echoes for that subject.
If you've been falsely accused, you may immediately question that and I
wouldn't blame you one bit.  But I am.  However I don't believe that
everyone who is accused is a perpetrator all the time and I was also a
witness a few years back for a young man who was accused of raping a
friend of mine at a time when he was on the phone with me - as my long
distance bill confirmed.   So I KNOW there are are false accusations
and I want to give all of you the benefit of the doubt and I hope you
will give me the same thing.  Because I am VERY concerned about someone
who is in prison now and who hopefully will win an appeal and get out.
I know this must effect people just as horribly and is abuse just as
bad as anything I went through.
How do I help another person come through that?
Any ideas, suggestions, would be welcome and thank you.

assistant: I hope that it's appropriate too. For someone who is NOT an abuse
victim; riding the current wave of activism on behalf of legitimate
victims <certainly a well-deserved cause that has been neglected> for
the sake of destroying someone's character - or merely for selfish and
greedy purposes <unjust enrichment in the breakup of a relationship> is,
IMHO, a 'slap' <no pun intended> at those who have suffered from abuse.
Unfortunately..there seems to be a "guilty until proven innocent" mood
pervading our society. Rare or not: when an innocent parent, spouse,
significant other, etc.. is persecuted <or prosecuted> for an abuse
claim, the damage done (whether social, financial, emotional or
otherwise) is often devastating. I've just come through a divorce
(almost final) proceeding where this has been the situation.
It's reminiscent of the story of the kid that cried "wolf". I suppose
that for every system of victim assistance that's designed; there'll be
those who rush - entitled or not - to join-up. When the wanna-bees
challenge the truly-needy for benefits, it's sick.

I hope you do not mind if I jump in.  The problem you face in finding someone
competent to help the person you know.  Psychology and social work is
infested with people practicing a civil religion instead of using anything
remotely  resembling science.  The tragedy is that no one in these
professions should be trusted until they clean up their houses.  I can  give
you a rough estimate of the probability of finding some one safe: social work
20%, psychology 40%, psychiatry possibly 60%.  They still will not be using
science, just well intentioned.  Good luck, this is a sad time to need help.
