SENATE SET TO RENEW 1997 LAW THAT PAYS CPS TO KIDNAP CHILDREN
S. 3038 is the renewal of ASFA '97, the act that gives the states BILLION$ to kidnap and adopt out
children on the flimsiest anonymous allegation, even known malicious false accusations.
Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (PL 105-89), also widely known as ASFA '97 was the program
designed to promote and increase the number of adoptions from foster care by rewarding states that
increased adoptions each year.
ASFA '97 sunsets on September 30, 2008.
In the Senate RIGHT NOW is the-
"Improved Adoption Incentives and Relative Guardianship Support Act of 2008 (S. 3038) - Amends
part E (Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSA) to: (1) extend the
adoption incentives program through FY2012; (2) increase the incentive payment to a state for
exceeding the highest ever foster child adoption rate; (3) increase incentive payments for special needs
adoptions and older child adoptions; (4) revise requirements for the adoption assistance program to
promote the adoption of children with special needs; and (5) give states the option to provide for relative
guardianship assistance payments for children."
BACKGROUND
Beginning with Mondale's "Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974 (CAPTA '74), a war
was launched upon America's families.
Soon after came "The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980" The Act required all states
to establish an adoption subsidy program and remove the financial disincentives to states by providing
federal dollars to be used as a portion of adoption subsidy payments for children previously eligible for the
Social Security Title IV-E Foster Care Program.
Then came the "Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997" (PL 105-89).
This nightmare is now bleeding the US for at the very least, $7 Billion a year. (We think it's a LOT more
than that).
CONSEQUENCES- The "Collateral Damage"
What quickly evolved was- Malfeasant "investigations" conducted under the color of law, consisting of
character assassination, hiding exculpatory evidence, "evidence" fabrication from thin air and bald faced
lies both in Affidavits and Sworn Testimony in court, holding the kids hostage to coerce "cooperation", and
obstructing parents until the "15 months of 22 months" clock tolls for automatic Termination of Parental
Rights (TPR).
As evidenced by the Texas FLDS fiasco, where the standard method of operation of CPS was put on
every television in the world, there is not even the pretense of the REQUIRED BY LAW "Reasonable
Efforts" being made to prevent children being kidnapped from their homes.
We now have unconstitutional "family courts" where every actor, including the "judge" is part of the
"prosecution team". The court-appointed attorneys do not offer anything resembling a "vigorous defense"-
unlike what happened on behalf of the FLDS in Texas.
If people commit a crime against a child, then it should be treated as a CRIME, not as SORT OF a
civil lawsuit. The accused is prejudged "Guilty", having no Miranda Rights, no Constitutional Rights, no
due process, no fair and impartial court, no defense.
We urge you to tell your Senators to vote NO on both S. 3038 and H.R. 6307.
Contact your Senators TODAY! Tell them to END the War on Families.
LET THE PERVERSE INCENTIVES SUNSET THAT FRAUDULENTLY KIDNAP KIDS FOR MONEY.
