Thousands of Kids Taken From Parents In U.S. Deportation System
Clara’s eldest kid was 6 years old and her youngest just a year old when it happened. Josefina’s baby was 9 months. All three children were ripped from their mothers and sent to live in foster homes with strangers. Clara and Josefina, sisters in their early 30s who lived together in a small northern New Mexico town, had done nothing to harm their children or to elicit the attention of the child welfare department. Yet one morning last year, their family was shattered when federal immigration authorities detained both sisters. Clara and Josefina were deported four months later. For a year, they had no contact with their children.

Should children in foster care be converted?
Is New Jersey complicit in the forced religious conversion of minors in its custody? The case of “Ahmed” may be the latest manifestation of such complicity. This authority, parens patriae, however, contradicts the stated mission of DYFS, the Division of Youth and Family Services. By letting the foster families change the religion of the children in their care, there is a strong likelihood that New Jersey may be engaged in violations of the Establishment Clause.

Three decades ago, a team of social workers tried to ruin my life. Armed with a conviction as absolute as it was deluded, they fought tooth and nail for two years to prevent a couple from adopting me.

Respect for the family threatened
Respect for the family threatened
Note: I don't know about you, but I think that the writer of this letter is partially full of shit, because the government has no respect for the rights and authority of parents.
American law has traditionally had a great deal of respect for parents' ability to make the best decisions for their children. This respect is fundamental to the American way of life, and to our belief in the family. We do not believe in omnipotent bureaucrats micro-managing our lives. We believe in diversity, liberty, and freedom from unreasonable government interference.
