Could this be the end of secrecy in ‘child protection’?

Sir James Munby, an unusually humane and intelligent judge, is bent on rolling back the blanket of secrecy that has concealed many horror stories from public view

Sir James Munby says orders to remove children from their parents ‘are among the most drastic any judge in any jurisdiction is empowered to make’

Sir James Munby says orders to remove children from their parents ‘are among the most drastic any judge in any jurisdiction is empowered to make. By Christopher Booker 6:15PM BST 07 Sep 2013

To the ever-growing number of us who have been trying to expose the corruption of our state “child-protection” system as one of the most shocking scandals in Britain today, there is no question that a judgment published last week by Sir James Munby, now the most senior judge in our family courts, is a very significant legal landmark. For several years I have been explaining here how this system could not have gone so horrifyingly off the rails, with thousands of children being removed from their families for no good reason, if it had not been able to hide its workings from public view behind such a wall of secrecy, going way beyond what our lawmakers in Parliament intended.

In the name of concealing the identity of the children, which all statute law is concerned to protect, not only has this been widened out into a ban on reporting anything that goes on in our family courts (along with a similar ban on aggrieved parents saying anything to anyone about what is happening to them), but it has also been made a punishable offence to reveal the names of judges, local authorities, social workers or anyone involved in a case. I am even not allowed to indicate, however vaguely, in which part of the country a case is taking place. All this is supposedly in the cause just of protecting the identity of a child.

It is the groundswell of anger building up over how this secrecy prevents either parents or journalists from revealing what too often appear to be terrible travesties of justice that Sir James Munby, the recently appointed President of the Family Division, has decided to face head on, by issuing his carefully considered judgment in the case of “Baby J”. The immediate issue was that the father of four children removed by Staffordshire county council had infuriated the social workers by going wild with rage on Facebook, publishing not only the names and pictures of his children, but also those of social workers – along with a volley of abuse at the people he saw as having destroyed his family.

Before ruling on an application from the council for a complete ban on all this, Munby devoted most of his 26-page judgment to the more general question of whether the secrecy imposed on such cases has gone too far. Since the abolition of the death penalty, he says, the kind of orders a judge has to make on whether children should be removed from their parents “are among the most drastic any judge in any jurisdiction is empowered to make”. When a young mother is forced to lose her child, she and the child may have to live with the consequences of that decision for, respectively, 70 or 90 years.

In light of this, says Munby, “public debate and the jealous vigilance of an informed press have an important role to play in exposing past miscarriages of justice and in preventing future miscarriages”. He emphasises that if confidence in the system is to be “maintained or, if eroded, restored”, it is vital that its workings should be as open to public view as possible. The answer to criticism of “secret courts” must be “more speech, less enforced silence”.

=======================

Protecting children 03 Sep 2013 Sir James goes on to consider other issues, such as those raised by the increased readiness of anguished parents to tell their stories on the internet, ruling that these should be subject to the same restrictions as are applied to reporting in the press. But when he finally comes to ruling on the council’s application for a complete ban, he strikes out all the items not referring directly to the identity of children or their parents, allowing the naming of Staffordshire, social workers, “expert witnesses” and pretty well everything else.

This is such a startling challenge to prevailing practice that we will have to watch carefully to see how widely Munby’s principles are now followed. Clearly, this unusually humane and intelligent judge is bent on rolling back that blanket of secrecy that has been used to conceal so many countless horror stories from public view. But I recall one recent case in which a mother described her agony when her newborn child was snatched from her arms while she was breastfeeding. She quoted to the court an earlier Munby judgment, in which he trenchantly ruled that such an action was clearly in breach of “the imperative demands of the European Convention on Human Rights”. The only comment from the bench was “other judges can do what they like, but this is my court”. Now Munby is head of the family courts, we shall see whether his fellow judges accord him more respect.

Adoption madness:
The itch to give children that have been removed from their natural parents to gay couples for adoption (rather than, as in several cases I have followed, to responsible and loving grandparents), is getting into ever more of a tangle. Last week we had the story of the 87-year-old vicar who refused to christen a child because both the lesbian adoptive parents insisted on being described in his parish register as the child’s “mother”. A more “modern-minded” priest was found who was quite happy for the child to be recorded as having two “mothers”.

At least this tale did not have such a tragic outcome as one widely reported in South Africa in April, when two lesbians were tried for the murder of their four-year-old adopted son. An employee of the couple testified that the crime had been committed when the women became increasingly angry at the boy’s refusal to call one of them “daddy”. The more dominant of the partners was sentenced to 25 years for beating the child to death, the other to 22 years for being a “passive participant” in his murder.

==========================================

Clearly, this is a world wide problem. But as the saying goes, “All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.” People like Judge Billy Jackson of the Lauderdale County Family Court, Denise H Burch of Burch law group, supervisor sarah hendershot, district attorney chris connolly, commissioner nancy buckner, DHR workers labrisco cook and patricia miller, DHR florence alabama and Family court florence alabama, should all be 100% ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES for participating in this “farce for profit.” It is hoped by my wife, Kathleen Raskin, aka Kathey Raskin, and by me, Robert M Raskin, aka Rob Raskin, that our children and our families become safer as a result of the integrity of people like the honorable James Munby as opposed to the DIS-honorable Judge billy jackson and his cast of lying cowards who steal children for a living under the guise of trying to be helpful to the children and to their families.

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.

 

FILMING IS COMING TO ALABAMA 1ST WEEK OF NOVEMBER!

Posted on by

We met Bill in person today!

Bill Windsor is the producer of the movie documentary “Lawless America.” So far Bill has interviewed over 750 people throughout the country with hard-to-believe stories just like yours and mine!

As it turns out, you wouldn’t believe how common Family Court corruption is, all throughout the country!

It’s SO bad, that in some cases, Governors actually call their DHR commissioner to tell them to increase the number of children they pick up this month because they have a budget shortfall and really need the money!

The very concept that there is a “quota” system demonstrates that the concern is 100% financial at the expense of either the children or their families, which makes every one of the folks that are knowingly stealing children for profit, EVIL TO THE CORE!

I’m reminded of the 1972 film “The Exorcist” with Linda Blair. I can’t help but wonder if it would burn if we splashed holy water on Denise Burch, Billy Jackson, Labrisco Cook, Sara Hendershot, Patricia Miller, Nancy Buckner, Chris Connolly, and so many more.

Our niece is still in harm’s way out of state. Judge Jackson granted a motion restoring legal custody to Denise Burch, Guardian ad litem, who is suppose to “monitor the situation” for 6 months. Yet with all that going on up there in Pa, not a word from Denise. She clearly couldn’t care less how much harm comes to our niece.

Bill’s web site is lawlessamerica.com. His movie is on corruption in our courts and judicial system throughout the country, not just Alabama. Keep an eye on his schedule and come talk to him when he gets to Alabama. The only way to stop these criminals, specifically judges, Guardians ad litem, DA, DHR workers, etc is to get to Washington DC and stop or alter the money coming to the states from the Federal Government, and to establish an agency to oversee Family Court that has the sweeping powers to prosecute for kidnapping, conversion, collusion, corruption and trafficking. Once a bunch of Judges, DA’s and Attorneys are convicted, sentenced and go to Federal prison for their crimes against humanity, I’m sure that the word will get around!

My wife and I NEVER expected to be in this fight. When I first heard from my sister in law that “DHR stole our niece” I said to my wife “I’m sure we heard her wrong.”

It turn out that this scenario plays out every day in every state in the country as they steal as many children as possible to increase their funding from the Feds.

I tell you what – I KNOW I couldn’t do it. I wouldn’t be able to sleep, I wouldn’t be able to eat and I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I knew I took even 1 child from their family for no good reason, let alone that they were never going to get their children back or see them again.

The fact that these folks CAN steal children for a living makes them my enemy. I can’t believe how many enemies they actually have.

In fact, more than 1 DHR worker is in the film!

In California, a former Family Court Judge came forward to say that in her 40 hours of total training to be a Family Court Judge, she was trained to NEVER believe any woman who says that her husband was being abusive or her children was being molested, and it led to a death, which led her to leave the bench and to speak out about it.

It’s possible that when the Federal Government passed the law to help the states with funding, they had no idea how badly the states would abuse the system at the expense of both parents and children, destroying families and scarring parents and children for life, in order to maximize the money coming to the state. But’s that’s EXACTLY what’s happened. There is NO incentive to find the truth or to ever return the child to the family. All that matters is meeting their quota.

THEY ARE PROFITING FROM OUR MISERY!!!

Well, they stole our niece, as they’ve stolen your children, and they’ve broken just about every law possible. In November, you will have your chance to tell your story, and in January, we will be meeting before a Senate Sub-Committee in Washington D.C. and presenting our case for reform.

Please feel free to comment, email us, ask questions etc. Remember – there’s strength in numbers and the only way we will win is by banding together and fighting for change!

Until next time,

I’m Rob!
