Prison Population 70% Former Foster Care Children

[DavinaFaerie]

There's nothing protective about them.

The system is extremely corrupt, not just in America, but also in Australia & the U.k.

It's one of the biggest companies which creates the most revenue which goes straight back in to the state.

It's a multi-million dollar per annum industry.

They take babies & children from loving, caring parents & fail to take them from bad parents so they can create the illusion that these agencies need to be taking more children.

The corruption is unbelievable.

I was abused in the Sudbury Children's Aid Society and the Northern Lights Programs group home.

[crystalclearvideo1]

Been a FP for almost 3 yrs and I can tell you that you seem to make these broad generalizations. The system is flawed. In fact, our FD whom we've had since 2 months old is going to be re-united with her mom. Even though mom is still mentally unstable, has no income, and there are a few safety issues. My FD only knows us as her parents. She's bonded, content and now it's all going to be taken away from her. She has more of a chance ending up in jail being raised by bio mom than us.

Please site your sources and provide links. I would really like to read where you get your info. Could you please provide links to your sources in your description?

This is a recent source for stats and affects on cross-over children

[Danilomurillo1]

I am a former foster kid, and I don't want anyone thinking that I am likely to commit a crime based on what you just heard from this man. In fact we just wish to finally integrate into society. Whatever agenda this man has only hurts foster kids. No where did I find any supporting information to his claim either.

[JaneDoe0619]

Its sad to think the ignorant public must experience the kidnapping of their own child before they will realize the truth in what we are saying.

[FawnMeadows]

Dear John,

If you could pull that information off of the Internet. Those documents would be very helpful as to show, it's not hearsay in court. I would copy them and make a video off of them with your Internet-camera for all of us to see too. You can forward it to Bill Windsor-Lawless America, or call him at his office at 770 578-1098 and let him know I referred you to him as to you telling him about your story. Thank you too, for that information. Michelle Christensen-Lawless America.

[ladynevermore]

It's really sad that this is a very critical topic, and some people decide to use it to propagate homophobia and discrimination. What the fuck? Haven't we got enough on our hands with all the child selling going on?

[lmollot]

cont-- why so many farmer suicides worldwide? b/c only way keep farm for family-get lefe insurance money to pay it off-plus isolated couples competing =alcoholism-cps harassing farmers children-i almost lost my kids when my own married mother called cps on me when i divorced violent husband-she punish me for revealing my father sex abused us -so as protect grandchildren i was almost lost my kids-so much father-brother sex abuse etc all for lack of grandmothers-sisters clan longhouses and farms-

[lmollot]

capitalism needs problems = profits for "helpers" & researchers- = more slave workers to feed them=more oppression=more cattle citizens- the religious industry has denied matriarchy clans lands (power) esp native women with the dawes act in 1887-splitup grandmothers clans farm collectives-split into smaller lands to men where women/children dependent on men- too hard for one man to succeed competing w other men=banks knew they cd take land back if man sick. war or abandon wife/children-join up

[lmollot]

EASY SOLUTION- GRANDMOTHERS LONGHOUSES

for hope see iroquois women by spittal-& utube umoja village kenya & mosuo women china- in hope that women will return to the grandmothers clan longhouses & womens farm collectives- please send me your solutions to pass on to others-for the children- join up with us

[sharenaleon]

REFORM CPS OR SHUT THEM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whattheheckevr]

All Know 1 Universal God Exists.

[Keither9]

38K die drug related deaths DEA cost us $600mil over the cost of ops when they get just under 4billion per year to keep the door open.90K kids die each day & we have a sex offender regestry that kills people for having sex both DEA & the regestry needs too be shut down for terror activity. CPS send child porn to get more action & the system is not what you think when you say pedophile that a made up word at the end of WW2 4 people that can't except facts that kids have sex alone or with someone.

[MySearch4freedom]

its the same in the UK. I've set up a you tube channel documenting my own 11 year experience in the UK child care system.

[KatePunch]

Thank you.

[hope4kidz]

John,

I am aware of a lot of this; once awakened, we cannot close our eyes again.

I would like to know the stats for the prison population but need a source to cite. I can research all day long but there is just too much info.

We have been trying to find the exact number of children who die in foster care to compare to the percentage of children who die in their own homes. Naturally, because for now, more children live with family than in foster care.

We have not been able to locate the stats.

[johnreon]

@hope4kidz The main problem with getting the truthful stats is you would have to understand the people in charge of foster care and CPS are the very same people lie and falsifie reports on loving parents to steal kids mostly from lower income families because there know these family's will not have enough money to fight them in court. Once they get your kid or kids they receive tax payer supported bonus and rewards for every child they take from the parents.

watch?v=Pnkp0dmJEAM

[hope4kidz]

@johnreon Stats, although tweaked, are what we have to work with. Every stat I have found on children as sex offenders, is based on adolescents who are already in Juvie Jail. Same holds true for adults. When a male child is victimized, in TX, the child is anticipated to become a sexual predator and treated in foster care as if they are sex offenders; although, they are VICTIMS. We are making Predators of little kids. An easy way for SW to eliminate caseload: Put the kids in Juvie!

[hope4kidz]

@johnreon Thank you John, The most extensive investigation that was released to the public on the Texas Foster Care System, Forgotten Children's Report of 2004. This in-depth report gave Texas proven ways to increase safety and decrease costs. Gov. Perry's reponse: Shut down her investigatory powers! This report on hope4kidz(dot)org and is a 4 Meg download. Once downloaded, the stats, charts, sources, are all cited. I have it in book form.

[Live4Jesus33]

Can someone link me to the cite that stated that 70% of prison inmates are former foster youth please?

[johnreon]

[Thea636]

This is so horrifically true. My son and I were victims. He was only 4. As a result we have gone from middle class to destitute poverty, but we are together. In the end it was my intellect that saved us. A lot of people are poor these days. In Detroit poverty is the standard. I can stand to be poor for awhile. I could not stand to be without my child.

[jm2trash]

I also learned about a study in sociology class that up to 50% of children killed by their parent/caregivers were known to CPS to have been in an abusive environment at the time they were killed.

[CPSSucks]

@jm2trash - CPS deliberately ignores children who are in abusive situations because 1) they don't give a damn, and 2) if something happens, and it hits the media, it always ultimately works in their favour (see "the Baby P effect" in this regard).

[misteeq64]

@CPSSucks Maybe it is time to stop counting on CPS

and the community to get involve . Nobody want to work for CPS the pay is poor the hour long and very few weward.Instead of accusiing CPS what are we doing has a society to land a hand.

[CPSSucks]

@misteeq64 - oh I would never count on CPS. They leave the children that are abused, and take the ones that aren't. The rate of abuse would dramatically decline if we abolished CPS tomorrow, because of the conditions children in their "care" suffer.

I agree society could lend a hand.

[aviomaster]

-- I am not suprised at all , Look at this fact ,.,,

CCCP we all heard bad things about

CCCP had 650 prisoners on 100.000 people , Communists ... we are talking about here , they put people in jail for 5 year for saying Fuck STAlin ..

now watch .. this number decreasing in Russia today.

USA prison population ,

760 people in jail on 100.000 people ,

is this called a DEMOCRACY ,,, is this largest export of USA .

this number increasing in USA today.

[crzycody777]

yes the y would be better off with there real parents. i needed to hear you say that thank you!!!!!!!

[crzycody777]

you are right about the low income part and i love it that you care.

[kelamb141]

lopaka6, Do you work for CPS? The way you are talking it sounds like you do. There are horror stories and I know that for a fact as we are grandpareants and have had our sweet grandchildren taken away because of a false allegation and with CPS you are guilty until proven innocent. This system needs to be restructured from the top down. You had better do some research yourself.

[MeanieMuff]

I grew up in the system and have no doubts the stories you are hearing from the lost children are true! Now they want to make abortion illegal so they can throw even more kids into what I consider hell. They just do not care! Thank you so much for spreading the word. I wish we could all find one another and do a million man march!

[CPSSucks]

CPS is a trillion dollar business, that needs to keep expanding all the time. The more children they kidnap, the more power they get. Soon, every child will be in government "care," if we don't do something. A lot of these kidnapped children are now going to gays, who dominate the court system and CPS. Since gays cannot have children unless they find someone who is willing to bear their child (not very likely) they have to take the kidnapped ones. Judges are very happy to help out.

[crystalclearvideo1]

@CPSSucks CPS is not a trillion dollar industry as you say, CPS is underfunded and most workers are paid less than $30,000 a year. Every state provides lawyers for bio parents and reunification is THE goal in all foster care systems. Is the system flawed??? Absolutely! Most foster parents end up spending 20-30% more on their foster children than the daily allowance from CPS. We need better laws to protect children, but you really need to get your facts straight.

[CPSSucks]

@crystalclearvideo1 - what a pile of rubbish. And CPS IS a trillion dollar industry, buying and selling and drugging and losing (like the kids in Florida) children as if they were slabs of baloney. Every state provides lawyers! What a lie! These lawyers are incompetent at best, and actually work to help CPS gain custody, either through collaboration, laziness or incompetence. CPS is a gang of corrupt perverts, child haters, and foster "parents" are generally lazy bums who despise kids.

[CPSSucks]

foster hell is the goose that laid the golden egg for CPS - it just keeps giving them a new source of victims, generation after generation.

[not4playn]

All bow down to the omnipotent lopaka6, his Narcissistic Personality Disorder precede's him, all hail his self entitlement.

[lopaka6]

After reading some of the drivel that people have posted below, I now understand why you make these videos--personal gratification. Listen people, this guy (and any of you out there who buy this baloney) have a problem understanding causal relationships. Even if it were true that 70% of prison inmates were former foster children, why be so shallow as to fault foster care? Don't be stupid. What are all the factors that precipitate a child becoming a ward of the state? There are your causes, ppl.

[johnreon]

Thank you for posting. There is much more to know about this failing system..

I was going to add more information about this on the side bar and your post reminded me to do so...

Please see side bar for more information.

Again I thank you.

Peace to you and your loved ones.

[CPSSucks]

@lopaka6 - The factors that precipitate a child becoming a ward of the state are, to name a few: 1) federal funding, 2) false accusations of child abuse which result in apprehensions, 3) adoption targets. By the way, do you work for CPS or somehow profit from CPS? Because that's usually the case with people who make comments such as yours. Either that, or supreme ignorance.

[KingRadbadical1988]

@lopaka6 What are all the factors that precipitate a child becoming a ward of the state?"

No no, It happens because ALL orphans are HORRIBLE violent monsters.

Matter of fact maybe as soon as a kid loses his parents, we should just kill the kid!

I have no idea why you idiots hate children so much. As if having crappy parents makes you a criminal. IT DOESN'T...

Wow dude messed up. Like a WWII American solider shooting at the concentration camp inmates instead of the nazis.

[KingRadbadical1988]

@lopaka6 Cuz what you're saying is "having crappy parents makes you a CRIMINAL".

You're saying that children who are wards of the state have "factors" making it so, insinuating that those innocent CHILDREN are CRIMINALS.

How shameless of you. How evil are you? How much hatred you must carry in your heart, to tell innocent children, *points* "YOU'RE a BAD KID. You're not LIKE the NORMAL kids who have parents. YOU deserve to spend the rest of your life in PRISON cuz you're a BAD KID".

[johnreon]

@lopaka6

The great majority of child taken from parents are 5 years of age and under and come from low income families who can not afford a Lawyer. Each state receives huge amounts of Federal money for each child taken. Then they put these kids on drugs to make it easier for them to supervise them. Search ( drugging children ) also search:

( Operation Dirty Bird Coverup ). Stop by ( ShreddedSociety ) they took her 2 year old Daughter while letting her keep her 5 and 11 year old children

[Danilomurillo1]

@lopaka6 I searched as this guy recommended. I didn't find anything that was even close to his claim. I went to the government sites and didn't find such scholar study that could be replicated. Why did I do that? because I am a former foster care recipient, and this guy has an agenda that is only hurting me and many others like me. We don't need anyone to think we are potentially likely to be criminals.

[lopaka6]

What a load of crap. This is the worst kind of video, because it appears to be made in support of children by calling out the problems that are out there. But what you've done is made a sweeping indictment of the entire system. (And you've done it with, at best, slanted statistics.) There's a lot of good that gets done by those systems. And there are no alternatives at the moment. Don't be so quick to bash the system and to support the "loving" families. Kids first. Your ego second.

[CPSSucks]

lopaka6, if you want to see 'sweeping indictments" you should check out what CPS does to parents when they kidnap their children.

[donna6232]

thank you john. i will pass this information around. disgusting.  we need to all be aware of this and do something about it. knowledge is power

[mahiney8184]

My last post didn't take, but I don;t care to rewrite it.

Have you looked at the percetange of those people that were doing pot and got put away? it'a about that rate. They are self medicating probably due to the pain in their past either from their birth families or foster care system.

[EvilBitch1387]

This is some very alarming Info. i spent half my life as a ward of the state the other I've been on my own.fuck a bunch of foster parents.I been on my own since I was 13!

[backtobasicsman]

your so right man, the system is 100 percent controlled by the state!

i believe, and what i see is that the more civilasation evolves, the crazy'er it becomes. look at japan, one of the richest, most developed "civilisations", in the world. and it is well known in japan, that one in tree kids is sexually abused but nobody talks about it, its like a public secret!

[Wildcatman65]

John, I am a former Foster Child my self I lived in the "SYSTEM" back in the mid Sixties to mid 70's, Thank you for your video on this manner. I am 49 years old and I still live with the subtitle Foster child to this very day.

I wish their were more people like speaking out about this. All of the wasted lives that I have seen. I was sort of lucky that I got with a family that was in it for the money! Lucky me! Compared to Some others.

[osoluckyme]

John you are a master! Thank you for all your informative videos. you are correct. I've verified the information. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! Kathleen

ps. can you send me some more statistical information for my TV talk show

[Aone1683]

There is a reason why we have a constitution that limits the government. Whenever the gov says they want to help, or protect u, or like global warming "the debate is over" thats when u need to be on alert and ask questions

[Aone1683]

70% of San Quentin inmates grew up in foster care. Nationwide, over 90% of the young men in prison were either abandoned by their parents, abused, and/or lived in the foster care system. ~ Sierra Adoption (Foster Facts pg.)

[mountain19]

the gov is aware of this and making a killing while waiting to make more monies sending through penal/mental health systems. mo monies to be skimmed off of for the black budget.

[KimberlyS007]

This just happen to low income family's we are a middle class family and lost everything trying to get our daughter back. This system is corrupt and thank you for speaking out! I pray my daughter doesn't end up in prison.

[johnreon]

The middle class family is a new target as they turn you in to a low income class that can not afford to fight back...

[notlqueen]

Do you think our country should go through a complete chaos for a few yrs to dismantle the current gov't and form a new one? Such as the one originally intended?

[johnreon]

No... But people need to wake up and inform the government that there are many changes that need to take place... It is very important that waste and corruption be removed from the USA system... I don't advocate violence in any fashion...

Rather large peaceful protest held by informed individuals...

[gldmj55]

According to a study by ABC News in May of 2006, only 25% of prisoners had gone through foster care. In addition, 25% of all children in the U.S. have had a parent that has spent time in jail. The foster care system is fed by the prison system: most kids end up in foster care because their parent(s) is (are) in prison. (cont...)

[gldmj55]

(...) That is why so many kids can leave foster care by reuniting with their family. So even if the number of prisoners that went through foster care is high, it is quite possible that this is a coincidence rather than a cause: foster kids come from unstable families headed by people that have done prison time (i.e. will have a hard time finding a job and getting out of poverty).

[johnreon]

Type in your youtube search ( Foster care Funding... Watch the #1 video from... Senate Budget Chair Ducheny on foster care funding...

59 seconds into the video when she is talking about needing more funds to build more holding facilities... You will hear Budget Chair Ducheny say that 70% of prisoners our former foster care Children... 90% of foster care kid are taken from parents before the age of 5 years old... So it is the system that is messing these kids up...

[johnreon]

Type in Drugging Children and watch the #1 video... I believe the reason for the mass foster care kids going to prison is because the system drugs them for being children... Drugging them make them easy to control while heaping profits the the system from fed funding and the drug companys... Once they turn 18 no more drugs and they never learn how to control thier emotions or anger as one would who grew up not taking mind altering drugs...

[notlqueen]

Very informative. Working closely with foster care and at risk kids and being 1 myself back then, I think you should write a book or better yet conduct a tv show. NBC studios is quite interested in this stuff right now.

[mountain19]

of course. the gov. wants to control the monies for the take over. first they destroy the families making one world order easier. want to tag all with disabilities.. Iraq is now after shock and awing them scrapping them off the streets as their homes blown up to put them in system showing how this gov. makes monies off our people. like we taught Saddam and other suppressing leaders we put in place.

[notlqueen]

Not all of them are in prison, many are due to mental illness or physical illness tho' yes, most of parents in prison.

[johnreon]

Thats strange due to the fact at a 2007 USA Senate Budget Hearing it was announce that 70% of the prison population was found to be 70% former foster care children...

Just search ( Foster Care Funding ) on youtube and watch #2 video

Senate Budget Chair Ducheny on foster care funding for your proof...

[mountain19]

ain't that America? oh right north America. corporations bought us out for this reason to make more monies while culling populations around the world.

[notlqueen]

Therefore you can see a vicious cycle. It may be 25% nationally, but it is NOT 25% in some states. Some areas have a MUCH MUCh higher percentage and I believe that is what this nice man was getting at.

[Patism66]

type in LegallyKidnapped

[notlqueen]

please see my videos. I just started to my videos tho I only have a digital cam. You should talk to my friend Lisa Dickson a HUGE foster kids right activist.

[devilndeepbluesea]

You are so right on! I lived it....God Bless you for this....

[angelhair2009]

and i feel sad about this too...i wish the US gov.will do something about it..

[Fistandell]

EXPOSURE... EXPOSURE... EXPOSURE

We have recorded proof and court documents, that the people employeed in child protection swear false affidavits and may be criminally removing children from families with fabrications. FIGHT ON MY FRIEND

[johnreon]

Due to Bonus and rewards granted to CPS this is a truth... Sad to say this has become more of the norm to take good kids from good parents for things like dirty dishes in the sink... Calling it an unfit living environment for children to live in... How can they do this??? Because CPS targets low income parents with children of adoptable age who can not afford fight the CPS tax paid system...

[JackNeedles]

Growing up, both of my parents were foster children. That is a major issue that needs to be solved. We need to get to the root-cuse problems in America and solve them so these things do not happen as much. Only Ron Paul can work with us to bring this change. The other candidates are jokes that just want more money and power. You think someone like Hillary Clinton, Obama, or Rudy Giuliani who get most of their corrupt money from corporations care? No.

[L3AH18]

As a former foster child I know first hand EVERYTHING you are saying is ture. You are my hero.

[recoveringAa]

There is something "wrong" with EVERY shystem the european has set up every where they have been on the planet.

They are "despiritualized" beings. Those who KNOW the Truth and work to practice "justice" in your dealings with people have been "AFFECTED" by the SPIRIT of Afreekans!

Just as WE have been "infected" and "effected" by your presence (manifested via Behaviors towards the worlds people and Afeekans in particular) on the planet.

Thanks for sharing

[recoveringAa]

Those Afreekans and other's who willingly now participate in this shystem, do so becasue they have been infected with E.V.I.L. (european viral infection lives).

That infection is shown in the defective thinking patterns which has supported, encouraged these faulty shystems. Shit that makes NO SENSE at all ...does it. just like you are pointing out.

Something IS very Wrong!

[flardacracker]

But that was expensive and time consuming..and each time I had to got through the whole rigormarrow over and over. The people that work for them are just awful, they lie and make up stories 'in the best interest of the child' it is corrupt and baaaaaad.. Real baaaad

[flardacracker]

wow.. I don't doubt it..Florida's DCF is a joke.

I have personal experience with the abuse that they levy on parents. My ex used their policies to try to estrange me fom my kids..after three times, and a bunch of lawyer fees they finally slapped HER hand.

[HeadlessFatLady]

This is interesting, must research :)

[johnreon]

USA Lets do Math 15 billion a year goes to the foster care system... 70% of prison population are former foster care kids... Estimated Cost to hold 1 Prisoner for one year is $200,000 dollars a year... the prison population is over 2,000,000 200,000 x 2,000,000 = Wow Plus 15 Billion the foster care gets... Do you see a problem here???

[btroll]

I think you may have your statistics confused. Maybe 70% of former foster care kids are in prison (doubt it).

[johnreon]

did you listen to the state budget hearing???

Type in Foster Care Funding look at top video... Listen to it for 1 minute you will hear also you will hear it cost $200'000 a year per prisoner to keep them locked up... Facts my Friend straight from the USA Senate.

[btroll]

Well, the last place I'd look for truth is the Senate, but that being said I agree that the foster care situation is bad. I did a business process analysis for a Florida agency connected to foster care and the whole system needs to be flushed down the toilet, You can't blame the state, though, because they have to beg for people to do this work and they are forced to cut corners just to get anything to work.

[johnreon]

The main problem is that Pedifiles aka child molester like these kind of Jobs and they get them for there is not much background check and many have never been caught... Plus the amount of Drugs they give these Kids is unreal... Search: ( Drugging Children ) Look at 1st video... Hard to even believe the black and white truth...

[geltc]

I don't doubt the statistics. May foster kids have an attachment disord that makes them likely (if not certain) sociopaths. Teach better parenting skills in the beginning and end up with a lower prison population later

[ParadoxofColors]

They have an attachment disorder because they were traumatized by being kidnapped. Get rid of bonuses and rewards for the kidnapping of children, and you will not have anymore foster kids with attachment disorders.

[geltc]

Having adopted a child with an attachment disorder, I can tell you that it has nothing to do with being kidnapped. Where did you get that idea? Typically, attachment disorder is when a child doesn't bond with a parent(s) from birth on.

[johnreon]

Did you know

70% of the prison population are former foster care kids... Makes the Child protective System look like it needs an over haul...Look at top videos:

Search: Youtube: ( Foster Care Funding ) then ( CPS Corruption ) then ( drugging children ) then ( Conspiracy of silence )
