AND THE DRAMA CONTINUES…………….

Posted on by

So, new legal paperwork received today indicates that NOW, the very same DHR attorney who was IN Billy Jackson’s Kangaroo Court when my wife, Kathleen Raskin, (Kathey Raskin) who had LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP, was DENIED her right to even speak, and who witnessed Judge Jackson’s CLEAR DENIAL of her rights, and saw our niece being given back TO THE ONLY PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH WHO GAVE HER AWAY AND SIGNED OFF PARENTAL RIGHTS SO AS NOT TO HAVE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT, is now claiming that the Court erred because our niece was 18 years old.

Now he KNOWS that in the event of a disability, the age becomes 19, and there are other legal issues involved, but NOW THAT HE CAN SEE that Billy Jackson, in cahoots with Denise H Burch of Burch Law Group, and others, overstepped any and all prudence, NOW he’s evidently claiming that since our niece was 18, that NOBODY should be legal guardian of our niece.

Evidently the fact that she has been on disability since she was tested many years ago and determined to have an IQ of 60 is NOW of no consequence.

I am assuming that by taking this court action, which will most probably be rubber-stamped in yet another Alabama Kangaroo Court, that our niece will be free to live on her own.

So, instead of placing her in Scope 310 to teach her life skills, which is what we wanted for her, they first put her in harm’s way, by relocating her to where she is now, and now evidently the DHR attorney is now trying to release our niece completely from any oversight at all by anyone.

It’s amazing that DHR has NEVER ONCE CONSIDERED what would have been in the BEST INTEREST OF OUR NIECE.

So, I am putting DHR and the State of Alabama on notice. We are CONTINUING TO MONITOR our niece’s welfare, and as you all continue to take action, and as the result of that action continues to cause our niece harm, EACH OF YOU WILL ANSWER FOR YOUR ACTIONS in BOTH CIVIL COURT AND CRIMINAL COURT as allowed.

And don’t be surprised if, in addition, you all get to star in the movie :-))

Until next time,

I’m Rob!

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Federal Jury in San Jose, CA Awards $3.25 Million in Damages
to a Family for the Unlawful Seizure of Their Children

(San Jose, CA | April 4, 2011) In one of the largest jury awards in San Jose in the last 20 years, a federal jury took only 90 minutes to award $3.25 million dollars to a family whose children had been unlawfully taken by San Jose police officers as retaliation for asserting their rights as citizens. Most notably, the jury assessed $2 million dollars in punitive damages for the officers’ reckless abuse of authority.

A jury in the U.S. District Court in Northern California today returned a unanimous verdict against officers from the San Jose Police Department for the violation of an entire family’s civil rights and awarded $3.25 million in damages. The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson in Walnut Creek, CA and the Law Office of Robert Powell & Associates of San Jose, CA represented the family in their claims against the officers and the City of San Jose.

The case stemmed from an incident on June 29, 2005 where San Jose police officers William Hoyt and Craig Blank with at least five other uniformed officers responded to an unverified claim of abuse, entered the home of a San Jose family under the guise of a welfare check, then forcibly removed two children without a warrant and later seized a third child as well.

The jury heard testimony during the week-long trial that officers in the department have never sought warrants or court orders for removing children – in violation of federal law – and then falsified their claims of an emergency to justify taking all of the children. Police recordings and logs entered into evidence also dramatically demonstrated the officers’ decision to take the children without conducting any investigation.

“The jury rejected the officer’s claims of exigency in seizing
the children and took only 45 minutes to find they violated
the entire family’s civil rights.”

In one of the largest jury awards in nearly two decades in San Jose, the federal jury took only 45 minutes to find liability for all claims against Hoyt and Blank, and two days later, took just 90 minutes to award $1.25 million in compensatory damages for the family plus an additional $2 million in punitive damages. The case C06-4029 RMW, Watson v. Craig Blank, William Hoyt and the City of San Jose, went to trial on March 23, 2011 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division. After a week of testimony, the jury found Blank and Hoyt liable for constitutional violations against the family on March 30, and awarded damages two days later on April 1.

“This jury verdict exposes a long-standing practice of warrantless ‘snatch-and-grab’ conduct by law enforcement agencies in Santa Clara County,” said Peter Johnson, attorney for the family. He continued, “The jury heard compelling testimony and evidence during the week-long trial that officers in the department have never sought warrants or court orders for removing children – in violation of federal law – and then falsified their claims of an emergency to justify taking all of the children. ”

“These parents were retaliated against by law enforcement and social services for merely asserting their rights as citizens. In an oppressive and reckless abuse of authority, the police responded by seizing their children,” continued Johnson.

“We feel this verdict sends a resounding message to the San Jose Police Department, as well as all other law enforcement officers in Santa Clara County,” said Johnson. “They are on notice their unlawful conduct will not be tolerated, and officers will be held accountable.”

The best way to stop the ABUSE of power and authority that is destroying our children and their families to find a Civil Rights Attorney that will sue the offending county and/or the State for millions of dollars.

The only thing these criminals understand is money, and the only way to stop them is to make it unprofitable to continue to steal children.

Until Next Time,

I’m Rob!

WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED AND WE HAVE A STRONG PLAN GOING FORWARD!

Posted on by

First, Happy Thanksgiving Season to everyone who has endured such horrible grief at the hands of the criminals in our government agencies who have conspired to be involved in human trafficking for profit at the expense of innocent children and their families.

At this point, we have brought numerous groups together, each with their own followings, and each with the same stories over and over and over.

What’s clear is this:

1. ASFA, law 105-89, created the window for states to receive billions of dollars in federal aid by stealing children and not giving them back to their families.

2. There is a 6-11 time higher incidence of children being abused, molested, raped and murdered once they go into the system.

3. Nobody in the government seems to care, while others are adamant about protecting the system as is due to the huge amount of money involved.

4. There’s so much corruption at this point, with money trails running so deep, that prosecuting every judge, dhr social worker, etc. would be virtually impossible.

5. As victims, our only choice is to get the best Congress that money can buy to do something conscionable about this.

We do have numerous judges, social workers and secondary workers ready to testify before Congress in January 2013 in Washington D.C.

Bill will have the lawlessamerica..com video completed well in advance of our meeting with Congress.

We are working with producers to air the documentary on National Television in advance of the presentation to Congress to get National support.

And we’re doing all this, thousands of us, expending thousands of hours, and in some cases, thousands of dollars, to bring about a positive change in the law so the incentives to steal children are removed. With no financial incentive, there will be no reason to continue to destroy families for profit.

The bigger issue is that if we are successful in changing the law and stopping billions of dollars from being paid to the states, many states, already on the verge of bankruptcy, may be forced over their own financial cliffs due to a loss of the funds from this source.

What I propose is to simply change the requirement for states to receive this form of federal aid from being paid for stealing children, to being paid by achieving a required percentage of children who pass standardized tests in school from years 1-12 for math, science, english and history.

Yes, I did say “English!” The language of a country binds it together, and the last time I looked, we were STILL AMERICANS!

Thomas Jefferson once said: “A government that’s big enough to give you all that you need, is also powerful enough to take all that you have.”

After the Holidays, we will meet with Congress in D.C. and make our presentation in an attempt to change AFSA 105-89 to remove the incentives to continue to steal our children.

I haven’t even addressed the sale of those children, the pedophiles that buy them, the child porn industry including some of the most powerful people in government, or the funds that states receive based on child support arrangements, which is why often times abusive parents are allowed to still see their children. The abusers pay child support, and in some cases the state receives TWICE the amount of the child support from other federal programs.

I had a comment from more than one exasperated parent asking “why is it taking so long.” It’s taking so long because the money trail is so powerful and so corrupting, that just like a drug, people are willing to kill for it, as evidenced by Nancy Schaefer.

Federal and State investigations continue on an individual basis, with the hope to indict numerous people in 2013 and to try them for their crimes.

To all of the victims, I will keep you posted and we will work to change the law. Please check lawlessamerica.com and fightcps.com for two additional sites, or google dhrpetitions, cpspetitions, etc to see how widespread of an issue this is throughout the country.

To all the perpetrators, WE’RE COMING FOR YOU.

Until next time,

I’m Rob Raskin, my lovely wife is Kathey Raskin, and though we didn’t ask for this fight, once we saw all the harm that’s been done to so many children and to so many families, and all of the taxpayer’s money that has been misused, we are now 100% committed, along with so many others that are fighting this fight, to effectuate a positive change in this system in 2012.

Please continue to provide information and to monitor this site for new information.

 

I may have found the TRAINING VIDEO for DHR Workers!

Posted on by

If this is not the link to the DHR Training video, then rest assured that this is EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE to be a VICTIM of the system.

Fortunately, we now have Judges, DHR workers, Attorneys, both Federal and State investigators, regulatory agencies, Prosecutors and more looking in to the Corruption that is so rampant throughout our country as a result of ASFA, law 105-89, providing the unintended consequence through financial incentives of billions of dollars in federal funding to states based on how many children they steal from their families and place into the system.

As the late Senator Nancy Schaefer said prior to her MURDER:

“States have to have MERCHANDISE to sell.”

The rampant disrespect for families and children by these evil doers who are putting money ahead of children’s safety is as unconscionable an act as I can imagine.

Children are 6-11 times MORE LIKELY to be abused in Foster care than they are in their own home, and yet, without hesitation, DHR workers CONTINUE to steal children, manufacture reasons based on hearsay, convert the asset of that child into state custody, and increase the amount of aid to the state and to them in return for destroying yet another childhood and another life.

This is not to say that some children are actually safer if they are removed from a clearly unsafe environment, but children should NEVER be removed and never returned based on hearsay. Parents MUST have the right to work toward a reconciliation with the child if there is a legitimate issue. Alternate family members such as qualified grandparents must be given top priority to care for their grandchildren.

This corrupt system is disgusting to it’s core, and everyone who participates in the farce that they are “helping the children” should look into the mirror and realize how much HARM THEY ARE DOING by tearing families apart.

Here’s the link that sums up how the victims feel:
