FLDS-STYLE RAID COMING TO A HOME NEAR YOU

COMPLIMENTS OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE

Austin, Texas: The Texas Legislature passed a new law May 30th which will potentially suspend 4th amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure during the investigation phase of child protection cases.

All families are at risk in the state of Texas if the governor signs this bill. The FLDS case, where Texas took over 400 children based on the umbrella of beliefs held by their parents and no tangible evidence of abuse or neglect, demonstrated the sweeping power that the government wields against families, even when reports are false. Rights are ignored in the name of child protection. If SB 1440 is not vetoed, Child Protective Services will be able to gain access to peoples homes and children by merely presenting an affidavit to the court asking for a court order to aid in an investigation. This dispenses with a search warrant based on probable cause or a hearing during which parents can defend themselves and CPS must prove good cause for obtaining access to children and their medical and mental health records.

If after being served this order, parents assert their 4th amendment rights, they may be held in contempt of court! said Johana Scot, executive director of Parent Guidance Center, an organization that helps parents involved in CPS cases. How can this be in the best interest of a child in the United States of America?

The original bill (SB 1064 by Kirk Watson) died on the floor but was revived by Patrick Rose as a last minute amendment to Watsons SB 1440 and seeks to get around obstacles to information gathering with merely a court order issued for aid in an investigation when accusations of abuse or neglect are made based on information available which in the case of the FLDS was a hoax phone call. Parents who do NOT agree to let their children be questioned, transported, or traumatized by strangers could then be presented with a court order sworn by an investigator or authorized representative of the department who could then gain access to their property, records, and children. These court orders can also be gotten without a familys knowledge that they are being investigated.

The new law goes even further by striking the term for good cause shown and lowers the evidentiary bar by only requiring fair probability that allegations of abuse or neglect will be sustained if the order is issued or executed. A search warrant requires probable cause; CPS investigations will no longer require good cause at all. Anonymous reports and lack of a hearing will place all families in jeopardy.

It is disappointing and disturbing that the Texas Legislature would seek to get around court rulings that kept families rights in place, Scot said. This bill puts families between a rock and a hard place with confusing language that makes the law harder for ordinary citizens to understand rather than clarifying it. DFPS already made great strides to change their policies and procedures after these court rulings.

Please call the governor's office and ask him to veto this SB 1440.

  • us constitution is nice n all, but my Lord gave me my children not the government.

    my free and rights come from 1st the Holy Bible 2nd US Constitution.

    they are starting a war they will never win.

    POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

  • I am raising this on my channel! CPS must be stopped, they have no public accountability, that means they can lie, falsify evdence and even commit perjury and get away with it.

    I am a living witness to this, but it has not happened to me, it has happened to a friend, I have witnessed the courts behaiour directly in Missouri.

    It is a nightmare of state funding and child theft. People must stop this organisation now.

  • Two lawyers I talked to were even afraid of CPS. How can such a gestapo establishment continue to prosper? The corruption is so wide and so deep it parallels third world countries. They are thriving off govt. funding initiatives paid out by taxpayers. You lost your kids, poor Senator Nancy Schaeffer lost her senate seat and her life. Stop these human rights violations by gathering in masses to DEMAND your senators investigate CPS & their profiteers and cosponsor the parental rights amendment.

  • GLORY BE. We actually do have legislators who care about our families!!! Thank you Gov. Rick Perry. Could you please talk some sense into the Pennsylvania Governor now? Pennsylvania rates in the top three in the nation of baby stealers!!! Pennsylvania even brags about record numbers of adoptions from the babies they steal! Please join us for a nationwide protest August 12th in front of every family courthouse in the nation. Thank you Texans for electing such a fantastic Governor!

  • mayan and aztec both sacrificed children , aztec to tlaloc god of water. they would torture them to collect their tears in a ceremonial bowls by ripping off their nails, before drowning them to ensure rainfall.

    history always repeats itself

  • THINK OF THE CHILDREN

  • Perry is a NWO bilderberg atendee he is the enemy of this state and this country as are all installed sellout so called polititions. The elections are crooked the polles are false and the media controled. The so called two parties are simply oposition to get the debt slaves to oppose each other. Tax is theft and untill we see this and reject the theft they will control us... the end.

  • Touch my family and I will not ask questions. Just dont expect all of you to go home if you try
