CPS damage update: the folly of Harriet O’Neill

Winning the battle against CPS is, in part, a processing of reminding or educating Americans about the liberties and protections against government action to which every American is constitutionally entitled.  Perhaps the single most important protection is due process.  Yet many Americans have no idea what these words mean.

Some, brainwashed by America’s government schools, have never heard of due process.  Others, newly arrived from lands without these freedoms, were raised to think that government should be able to do whatever it wants whenever it wants to. Yet others, like Texas Supreme Court Justice Harriet O’Neill, supposedly understand due process but seem bent on giving it up “for the children” — as if children do not also benefit from due process.

Most of us would do almost anything to help children, so “for the children” is a seductive appeal.  Yet O’Neill is not the first to make it. Guess who wrote the following statement:

[The State] must proclaim the truth that the child is the most valuable possession a people can have . . . Those who are physically and mentally unhealthy and unfit must not perpetuate their own suffering in the bodies of their children. From the educational point of view there is here a huge task for the State to accomplish.

We’ll come back to this statement in a future post, comparing it to arguments made in court filings by Texas CPS.  You may be shocked at how similar the arguments are.

In other news, on June 24, I posted a “CPS damage assessment” showing two anti-CPS (pro-America) articles running as 2nd and 4th “most popular” at GoSanAngelo.com. Today, the two articles — CPS, judge threatened American foundation and CPS actions damaged children — have flipped positions and are now running in 3rd and 4th place. (See below.) Thanks to all who have passed them on. Keep it up!
