RE: [Family Protection] Know The Enemy: Introduction
I haven't run across or heard of the Buchanan Bill, although that is great news. I'm adding it to my list of topics to dig into!
If it's a refocus on families, it would be a roll-back to pre-1974 policies since it was after legislation in the mid-70s that the official CPS focus became "the child" instead of "the family". You'd think it wouldn't be a big deal for Child Protective Services to focus singly on the child, but the legislation was apparently influenced by the whole philosophy I highlighted in the Richard Gelles quote: that families and children are not essentially linked and biology is not what investigators should be trying to accommodate when considering child removal.
This whole thing is so much part of the broader picture wherein we're all being cut loose from the ties that anchor and strengthen us: our families, our marriages, even our gender now. The mental and physical anguish this loosey-goosey treatment of essential biological truths such as children are generally best raised by their blood parents is playing havoc with our entire society.
Here is more info from a post I made a few weeks go. There is a link directly to the bill on there. @richq11 was looking into it more. Only 2 big concerns with it at this point. It does dish out additional funding to expedite adoptions which is a bit worrisome. The other concern I have is that something good seems to take a while for those effected to catch up. The gov. really should make a point to send announcement asap to all CPS agencies and family courts. https://steemit.com/fullyinformedpublic/@vickiebarker/u-s-president-signs-buchanan-bill-aimed-at-keeping-families-together
Thanks and will read up! @richq11 has been working on this whole information quest for the past few months, I notice, which is what initially sparked me to start reading history. I realized how little of it I knew!
Expediting adoptions...yes, that's a two-edged sword. On one hand, if a child really was taken from an awful place, getting him or her placed permanently as soon as possible takes away the limbo situation so many foster kids are caught in. But it also means that innocent parents are more likely than ever to lose their kids because the process happens so fast they don't have time to respond or stop it.
Another thing going for us is the intent of the bill is readily available. Not only throughout the bill but in the press release so it can be used if/when challenged. Yes, @richq11 is very helpful in so many areas. Well, there are many good people here on this platform, I am continually impressed.
I do also have to say...as one of Sander Levin's constituents, I get suspicious that he's involved in the Buchanan Bill. Sander is not...exactly...someone I highly trust with family freedom and individual rights.
Well that is curious too. @richq11 raised suspicion that Carl Levin is involved and although he is no longer there, I think Sander is his brother? This is certainly a law to watch and see how they roll it out. We must persevere in our diligence at this point, we have little choice otherwise. The world is turned upside down and Agenda 21/2030 is still moving ahead at every turn.
