How to save your kids from child protective services

The United States has a government agency in every state called Child Protective Services which has the authority to seize any child in the country from the parents and place them in foster care. The power is frequently misused because the agency is paid a huge bonus every time it succeeds in placing a child in a foster home.

Many of the children seized from their parents under allegations of abuse or neglect are from happy, kind homes. Their parents are simply too poor to afford a lawyer to help them get their child back.

If you are a USA resident with minor children, there is something you can do to prevent this happening to you and your kids. The process is simple and will only cost $12.50. This is the minimum.

When Child Protective Services seizes a child, that child is immediately placed in foster care for adoption. One of the requirements for foster care is that the child be indigent. If the child is not indigent and cannot be made indigent, then that child is ineligible for foster care. This situation is called a financial account which cannot be closed out. When it is encountered, Child Protective Services is not empowered to seize the child, since it must by law place all seized children in foster care.

Simply by opening a financial account which cannot be closed out in the name of the minor child, a parent or anyone else can forestall the seizure of the child by Child Protective Services. The most common and cheapest of these is a savings bond. These are small denomination (in some cases) government bonds issued at half face value. The minimum investment is $12.50 for a $25 bond.

The drawback is that having done this you can’t place the child in foster care either. This means if you die or become disabled and are unable to support the child, the child may starve to death because the government will refuse to provide food or shelter. You will have sole responsibility for the care of the child until the age of majority.

The reason the action cannot be undone is that federal law expressly prohibits redemption, transfer, of surrender of a savings bond in the name of anyone under the age of 18 years. This cannot be waived even in life and death circumstances. A child who has a savings bond and is deprived of parental support has fallen through the cracks.

If you are a USA resident and have minor children, you may want to consider whether the option is right for you and your family.
