Federal court issues injunction against HHS implementation of Obamacare contraception mandate
Read some of the comments on this article. These people are brilliant. The same people who want to block contraception mandates in Obamacare are the ones screaming out against parents who can't care for their kids and end up on welfare or neglect them to the point of being removed and thrown into foster care. Of course unwanted children could be prevented in the first place at a much lower cost than 18 years of food stamps, medicaid and AFDC, but the sinful nature of those who fornicate out of wedlock obviously outweighs any common sense vision of future cost.
Perhaps some of you would prefer resorting to the stoning of harlots?

The recent storm added another set of challenges. According to an official with Hudson County’s Court Appointed Special Advocates – a group that works with Hudson County’s several hundred foster kids – in one case, a girl who was not in a good foster home was apparently made to sleep without blankets during the storm because her foster mom was punishing her.

Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children
The goal of this report is to advance understanding and promote the rights of parents with disabilities and their children. The report provides a comprehensive review of the barriers and facilitators people with diverse disabilities—including intellectual and developmental, psychiatric, sensory, and physical disabilities—experience when exercising their fundamental right to create and maintain families, as well as persistent, systemic, and pervasive discrimination against parents with disabilities. The report analyzes how U.S. disability law and policy apply to parents with disabilities in the child welfare and family law systems, and the disparate treatment of parents with disabilities and their children. Examination of the impediments prospective parents with disabilities encounter when accessing assisted reproductive technologies or adopting provides further examples of the need for comprehensive protection of these rights.

The Manufacturing of Public Support For CPS
If you scroll down, you will see that I just posted these two videos. However, it would be wise to read this entire post before watching them. For those of you who have already watched them, oh well.
http://legallykidnapped.blogspot.com/2012/11/failed-to-death-flaws-with-child-welfare.html
and
http://legallykidnapped.blogspot.com/2012/11/social-services-called-11-times-before.html
Now before some System Suck gets their panties in a bunch over all of these kids, which of course would be the natural reaction for the normal people who sit watching such videos instead of, oh for example, letting these kids rest in peace. I gotta warn you...
This is nothing but propaganda aimed at manufacturing public support for CPS to get more money, more power, more workers, more training, more foster parent recruitment efforts going to make room for all the new kids they're going to snatch at a much quicker pace and bla bla bla. It's called social conditioning.
Notice how they're is no mention of the fraud. Notice how there is no mention of the corrupt workers, judges or service providers who are already making a healthy living off of the kids who were
Instead CPS is being portrayed as incompetent or irresponsible, because they failed to protect a few kids. Then, as the investigation continues they'll find that the workers are overwhelmed, overworked, have heavy caseloads, can't keep up with all of the families that they're juggling, etc. Workers will take a verbal beating for a little while. A few will get shuffled around and a couple might even get fired, just to make the agency look like it's doing something about it.
In other words, they use your emotion to lock you into the story, then fill your heads with bullshit. And thus we have the manufacturing of public support for CPS.

A mother has a child adopted right out from under the father
I would like to share it with everyone as I think it is so important for people to know. Anthony Lingle has been fighting for the right to be his daughters full time parent. Anthony's ex had decided when she was pregnant to give the baby up for adoption. Anthony has been fighting ever since to have his daughter with him not strangers. It amazes me that a father is not given the same rights to their child as the mother. Here are the facts as I know them.
Two months before baby Hailey was born, Anthony filed a Petition to Establish Parental Relationship and DNA Test, Sacramento Superior Court No. 09FL07459; October 2009.
Bio mom filed a TRO the next day, (10/09) successfully keeping Anthony “out of the picture” while she arranged an adoption without Anthony’s knowledge or consent. At the 12/10 RO trial, her application failed. Her testimony was found to be not credible. However, the “adoption damage” was already done. The bio mom had arranged a pending adoption.
On January 1, 2010, baby Hailey was born. Bio-mother relinquished her parental rights and turned Hailey over to the prospective adoptive parents at the hospital. According to the Court, the Rosts knew the attempted adoption was against Anthony’s wishes, that he would not consent to adoption, that he wanted to raise his own child, and that they were kidnapping his child behind his back. They nevertheless abducted his child and have held her in their/her possession ever since.
To justify their actions they engaged in a brutal and relentless 2.5-year long legal character assassination against Anthony, leading to Ms. Rost (now divorced) to win at the trial level in May 2011 via an involuntary termination of Anthony’s parental rights. Anthony had court-ordered supervised visitation during the trial for 4 hours per week. Visitation ceased May 2011; any attempts at contact with his daughter were rebuffed.
An outstanding Ms. Rost psychological report exists from April 2010. It was to be submitted to the court before a termination decision was rendered. However, this report remains hidden to this day.
Anthony appealed to the 3rd District Court of Appeals in June 2011. He won on every level possible on April 24th, 2012. (Case accessible as C068485). The Court of Appeals reversed and reinstated his parental rights by issuing a blistering opinion. Baby Hailey, by this determination, is not eligible for adoption. The 3rd District appeared prepared to award custody to Anthony, but could not because it needed a trial judge to assess the current state of affairs.
Six days after the appellate decision of 4/24/12, Ms. Rost filed for legal guardianship of baby Hailey, claiming that since she had been with her since birth, Hailey was better off with her. This is a new Placer case SPR 0006572. Never mind that Rost abducted her in the first place. Rost fails to notify the court of the related failed adoption case, Rost attorney offers “secret testimony”, she fails to attach appellate court decision, fails to notify baby Hailey’s relatives, and assumes that Anthony will be appearing pro per. The bio-mother, Ms. Gallup, nominated Rost as guardian. However, per Probate Code 1500(b)(2), she cannot nominate anyone without Anthony’s approval.
Anthony is served at 11:30am with the Petition for Guardianship on May 9, 2012. Three hours later, a Placer County “Guardianship Court Investigator” working under a cancelled license, Jeanne Ivary, shows up unannounced at Anthony’s presumed residence (prior address) without a Court Order or any prior notification – she wants to “investigate.” She is sent on her way as Anthony does not live there.
Anthony’s atty contacts Ivary with questions on May 18, 2012, Ivary fails to respond. Anthony files his Opposition to Rost’s Guardianship Petition. In it, it shows all the improvements and preparations that he has made in anticipation of receiving Hailey, including working with a reunification expert. Anthony is already working with a transitional/reunification expert in order to protect his child’s best interests.
Guardianship Hearing of June 1, 2012: Rost’s atty lies on the record, claims the appellate court found detriment, admits that the guardianship petition was filed improperly. Anthony asks for sanctions. Judge Curry (Placer County, Dept. 3, Historic Courthouse/Auburn) defers sanctions, continues Petition until after the appellate court remitterer (30) has been properly recorded.
“Investigator” Ivary serves Anthony with a “Investigator’s Report” based on Ms. Rost informing her that there is still an adoption pending. She recommends that Hailey stay with Rost “until the adoption is final”. She never contacted Anthony nor checked the facts of the case (Hailey cannot be adopted), relying solely on the information provided by Ms. Rost and her family, and bio-mother Ms. Gallup.
June 15 - July 7, 2012 - Rost files for sanctions based on Anthony’s websites publicizing the case. Again, misrepresentations abound. Anthony files for sanctions based on Rost’s improper guardianship petition and deliberate misrepresentations to the court. Judge Curry stays these motions.
On June 29, 2012, Anthony files a Habeas Corpus Petition based on the fact that Laurel has no legal or other right to baby Hailey but continues to hold her in her possession. By law, Judge Curry had 60 days to rule on Anthony’s Petition.
July 27, 2012 “after remitterer” Hearing: Judge Curry takes attys into chambers. In court, he states that he wants to treat custody of Hailey “like a divorce” and send Rost and Anthony to Mediation. Curry tries to talk Anthony into agreeing to a Rost guardianship. Anthony and Rost have already been to mediation before; the case was deemed “not suitable for mediation” both at the trial and appellate levels. In exchange to agreeing to mediation, the court orders visitation to commence at 4 hours 2x per week to start. Judge Curry admits on record that he saw nothing wrong with 50/50 custody. Judge Curry stays all motions/Habeas Corpus Petition until after mediation.
July 28, 2012: Visitation with Hailey starts again. It is magical. Hailey recognizes her daddy – the bond was never broken. Rost cannot accept this.
September 1, 2012 (approx.): Anthony asks Rost to increase his visitation time while they wait for their mediation date. She refuses to do so.
September 17, 2012: Mediation. As before, nothing is agreed upon or resolved. Rost refuses to increase visitation beyond current 4 hours 2x per week and demands guardianship; she infers that Anthony is nothing more than a sperm donor, refuses to accept that Anthony and Hailey have a bond. Anthony counters with no legal standing for Rost, 36 days of courtesy visitation per year or as his reunification recommends.
Regarding mediation, since the adoption failed, the bio-mom’s parental rights continue in some fashion. She was not a party to the mediation. Consequently, it is legally impossible to mediate this “as if this were a divorce” as Rost wants.
Also, due to the failed adoption, Rost can never even be a guardian. Probate Code 1516.5, prohibits that by explicitly allowing guardians to adopt. Because Rost cannot adopt Hailey, she cannot be her guardian.
October 10, 2012: Anthony files a “Request for Ruling on Habeas Corpus Petition”. It has now been 103 days, way past the 60 day deadline for a ruling. Cutoff: November 9, 2012.
October 17, 2012: Rost filed an incomplete Opposition to Anthony’s Habeas Corpus Petition (only received 3 of 8 pages/improperly served), a Motion in Limine, and Rost’s Supplemental Declaration. In the Limine Motion, Rost is demanding that the court exclude everything that has happened since the date of Anthony’s (reversed) termination of parental rights, May 2011. The court, according to Rost, is to forget the appellate decision and everything that has happened since that time….just depend on a decision that has been since reversed by the appellate court, the inappropriate Rost guardianship, the positive steps Anthony has taken in preparation to receive his daughter into his home, etc., etc.
In Rost’s Declaration, she continues to vilify Anthony and appears to be trying to cut him out of his child’s life yet again. She is now claiming that he is “bullying” and “threatening” her at the visitation exchanges. At the very least, she wants to make it prohibitively expensive for Anthony to see his own daughter, as she is asking Anthony to pay for “supervised” exchanges. It does not matter that Anthony always has a witness with him to counteract her claims.
October 19, 2012 Hearing: We are supposed to set for trial; Judge Curry’s assurances that Judge Nichols would be hearing the case are now out the window. Exclaims that the legal threshold issues are not appealable. Appoints Minor’s Counsel for Hailey without consultation. Rost and atty. does not show; Anthony objects /asks for sanctions for and to telephonetic appearance, Curry ignores and does it anyway.
November 8, 2012: Hearing on all Motions, Petitions, including the Guardianship.
November 8, 2012: Judge Curry failed to rule on the motions (including the Habeas Corpus) and the Guardianship. He denied the objection re the guardianship petition being res judicata and that bio-mother could not nominate failed adoptive parent for guardianship without Anthony’s consent. Judge refused to address the constitutional issues (1516.5) re CA guardianship – he said he would “hear that argument” at the end of the upcoming contested guardianship trial. He also ruled to allow evidence/testimony from the (reversed) 2010-11 trial to be applied to the upcoming guardianship trial.
The next hearing is December 21, 2012. The judge refused to allow more visitation for Anthony. In the meantime, a failed adoptive parent with no rights to Anthony’s daughter keeps Hailey in her possession.
It is abundantly clear that Judge Curry is going to grant the failed adoptive parent guardianship no matter what. It does not terminate Anthony’s parental rights, but “suspends” them. It is basically the same thing. Anthony has no say as to his own daughter.
The court is not addressing the legal threshold issues, and is distracted by the “best interest” argument – which Anthony has already addressed via his reunification expert. Ms. Rost herself has created the “bonding” and “this is the only family that Hailey has ever known” issues by her actions of abduction, active vilification of Anthony, her continuing misrepresentation of basic facts, and outrageous and expensive legal maneuvering. Anthony, through no fault of his own, is being kept away from his daughter – and his daughter kept from him – for no reason whatsoever. Anthony has satisfied the appellate court’s “update” concerns regarding custody and visitation in full. Now you might be asking yourself how is this possible? Well that is what I and others would like to know. Now imagine being Anthony Lingle, the heartache he has been through and continues to be put through..

It is abundantly clear that Judge Curry is going to grant the failed adoptive parent guardianship no matter what. It does not terminate Anthony’s parental rights, but “suspends” them. It is basically the same thing. Anthony has no say as to his own daughter.
The court is not addressing the legal threshold issues, and is distracted by the “best interest” argument – which Anthony has already addressed via his reunification expert. Ms. Rost herself has created the “bonding” and “this is the only family that Hailey has ever known” issues by her actions of abduction, active vilification of Anthony, her continuing misrepresentation of basic facts, and outrageous and expensive legal maneuvering. Anthony, through no fault of his own, is being kept away from his daughter – and his daughter kept from him – for no reason whatsoever. Anthony has satisfied the appellate court’s “update” concerns regarding custody and visitation in full. Now you might be asking yourself how is this possible? Well that is what I and others would like to know. Now imagine being Anthony Lingle, the heartache he has been through and continues to be put through..

Australian government announces inquiry into institutional child sex abuse
The Labor government’s decision last week to convene a Royal Commission into the perpetration and cover up of sexual abuse of children in religious, non-governmental and state institutions is a cynical and politically calculated move. While posturing as a defender of children, Prime Minister Julia Gillard is working to protect the Catholic Church, and, at the same time, implementing an austerity agenda that will only add to the social distress facing many children.

Mass Liquidation Of The Assets
So as the Child Protective Industry celebrates in their mass adoption ceremonies, all of the fairy tales finally have their happily ever afters... (not)
So today is National Adoption Day. Which is the day when the Child Protection Industry liquidates the assets to make room for more.
November is also considered national adoption month. I have been avoiding the overwhelming gag choke puke fest all month so far because I don't want to help them advertise, but the unfortunate reality of this particular day is that many of these kids may just be the kids of some of the beloved readers of Legally Kidnapped.

Abuse victims from orphanages and foster care to seek compensation through Royal Commission
Abuse victims from orphanages and foster care to seek compensation through Royal Commission
The Federal Government's Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse may have been sparked by incidents within the Catholic Church but it's not the only organisation that will be subject to scrutiny.
Many people who were abused in foster care or at boys' and girls' homes also hope the Royal Commission will bring some recognition of what they went through.
