Homeschooling and CPS

fight4truth (56)in #familyprotection • 7 years ago (edited)

I was thinking about writting an article to #familyprotection and I didn't know what to write about.
Then I read @canadian-coconut 's article about her story with homeschooling (Check https://steemit.com/familyprotection/@canadian-coconut/my-history-with-familyprotection-and-why-i-am-involved ) and about @markwhittam 's homeschooling story in Sweden (Check https://steemit.com/blog/@markwhittam/the-government-want-our-child-which-is-why-we-are-going-on-the-run and https://steemit.com/blog/@markwhittam/our-child-is-being-put-on-the-child-protection-services-list-because-we-refuse-to-send-her-to-school-what-is-freedom-are-we-free ) and I decided to write about that.
In some countries, homeschoolers are really threatened by CPS.
I checked Homeschooling international status and statistics in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling_international_status_and_statistics) and found out that, in Europe, it's illegal in more than half of the countries and in South America in the big majority of it.
So, in a lot of countries, if you homeschool your children, you will have big problems with CPS.
Check, in example, this article http://www.theamericanconservative.com/2013/09/05/german-children-seized-from-parents-for-crime-of-homeschooling/

The German government seized 4 children from the parents and also seize their passports, so they can't move to a country where homeschooling is allowed. If they try it again, they were warned children will be seized permanently.
So basically, what they are telling is that the government is the owner of people.
Why can't they move to a country where it's allowed? Even if it's illegal in Germany(what in my opinion is, by itself, unacceptable), they should at least tell them "If you want to homeschool you will have to move to a country where that is legal". But no, they actually behave as if they are the owners of the people.

Now check the photo to see if they don't look happy. What is this?

But, even in countries where homeschooling is legalized, homeschoolers are not well seen by CPS and by the system, because those children are not controlled by the system, are not generating a lot of money to the system and so, the system dislikes it.
See the example of Tutt family https://www.thsc.org/2017/11/cps-attack-texas-homeschool/
Here, everything was ok with the family, psychological examination, etc and they were ok. They had 4 biological children and 3 adopted children. Children were removed because CPS caseworker Shan Robinson found impossible, in her mind, that someone wants to spend all day with so many children.
Judges found unjustified the removal of all the children, but the damage was already made. Also, in spite of the fact that the judges found wrong the removal of ALL the children, only the biological children were given back to them.(of course with a lot of trauma added to them for having been removed from parents and having been in foster care.)
The adopted ones remained in foster care. WHAT???????????????????

Tutt family

Shan Robinson, the "amazing" caseworker that removed the children based on the fact that she though, in her psychopathic mind that no woman would want to spend all day with so many children.

Stay safe people and I hope you found my article interesting to read!!!!!!!!

Other projects I have to help the #familyprotection tag:

I found out that there is a lot of material on youtube about Portuguese parents in UK that don't speak well English , don't know the rules of the system and so, they are easy preys to the adoption business. I also found a lot of material about things done by the Portuguese CPS, that is becoming similar to the ones from anglo-saxon countries in what regards to wrongly removing children from families. The material is in Portuguese and I want to add English subtitles and that is a lot of work so please keep curating my videos to give me motivation to do that. Follow me and feel free to give me suggestions to improve my articles.

About the author: My life until now has been a crazy one. When I was younger I wanted to study math or engineering but the social pressure made me attend medical school.
In Portugal, medical college is a 6 years degree and you start it after you finish high school. Tuition fees are symbolical and your entrance is only based on the high school marks. You need a very high average mark to enter.
Many people with high average marks, although they didn't think about attending medical school, are pressed by their parents to attend it.
I didn't like medical school. It was not what I wanted so I had a profound depression and I left it.
I love to write, and although English is not my native language, I will try my best to offer you interesting articles.
Apart from that, I am a Christian, I love God and I love Christ deeply with all my heart and all my soul.
