Harvard Law Prof: Every Family Should Be Under Mandatory Government Surveillance

One of the foundational functions of the church is the welfare and well-being of the family unit.  Its fellowship allows for a set of values, ethics and beliefs that punctuate a healthy family and a healthy congregation.  The church setting gives validation to the unity of a body that furthers societal change in a positive way.  If not for the church, specifically Christianity, the world today (especially in America) would look very different.  The spiritual awakening of an American nation happened because of Christianity and the openness of its doctrines.

However, in today’s litigious environment and with the government’s increasingly intrusive behavior into the affairs of the church and the family unit, these congregations and their leaders are more apt to line up and ensure they are following the behavioral patterns that the state is using as its baseline.  Christian schools are being demanded upon to remove scripture from its teachings.  In Canada, a Christian academy was called homophobic and intolerant for its scriptural passages in its website and was summarily axed from the provincial funding…just this year!

This sets up yet another precedent of ensuring that every single aspect of a person’s life influences in a way that doesn’t match the state’s perceived views is squashed and delegitimized…even at times, illegalized!

Even churches and religious organizations are listening to these radical law professors.
Professor Elizabeth Bartholet was one of the main speakers at the 2014 Together for Adoption Conference in Greenville, South Carolina (a city where numerous Medical Kidnapping stories have taken place.)

The theme of the 2014 conference was “Urgency & Complexity: Biblical & Ethical Approaches to the Orphan Crisis,” and it was sponsored by such well-known groups as Focus on the Family and Lifeline Children’s Services.

With more emphasis on removing children from their biological parents and placed into the government-sponsored foster care system, continuous recruiting is needed for foster parents and foster homes.

The government finds Christian churches and Christian organizations all too willing to participate in such efforts, as these groups collect checks from the government as payment for their participation in the government-run foster care system.

Academic professors such as Bartholet and Dwyer seem to have a stronger voice into the laws and practices of the system than do parents whose children are being stolen and traded like stocks to the highest bidder.

Those with the most to lose – loving parents with children who fall into the system – have their voices drowned out and fall victim to the frightening policies enacted by those who listened to voices such as Bartholet and Dwyer and others like them.

In general, these victimized parents, most of whom are poor, will find no help from Christian churches, where they are often stigmatized as unfit parents once the state intervenes and removes their children.

When Laura Dalton moved to Florida in search of medical help for her twin daughters’ eating disorders, she had no way of knowing that the primary care pediatrician that their insurance assigned them to had been influenced by Professor Elizabeth Bartholet’s extremist views on parenting.

She had never heard of the professor. All she cared about was getting help for her kids.

From the beginning, Dr. Sherry Shenoda tried to railroad them into a treatment program that was not going to meet their needs.

She ignored Laura’s “mother’s intuition” and the fact that she knows her kids better than anyone.

Instead of helping the family to get approval for a specialist team trained in dealing with serious eating disorders, Dr. Shenoda worked with CMS insurance and Child Protective Services to override Laura Dalton’s parental decisions and had the girls removed from their mother’s care.

The state, hand-in-hand with the education system, hand-in-hand with the medical community, hand-in-hand with the church…

This is what disaster looks like.  This is how the collapse of the family ultimately happens.  There are so many aspects of the hoops through which a parent must leap in order to be considered “acceptable” by the government.  This group of officials, politicians and administrators cannot balance a checkbook, cannot institute successfully any program to which they attach their names, they cannot educate our children to a point where they are not shamed by other less economically secure countries, they cannot see fit to take care of the demonstrably unfair system of welfare that plagues this country with rampant across-the-board corruption and fraud, yet…THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATION AS TO WHO IS “ACCEPTABLE” AS A PARENT?

I’ve always been fascinated by the audacity of the school systems who look down their noses at parents who homeschool, yet cannot seem to teach a child by the standards set pre-1975.  In the old system, you as a student were taught how to read, write and do arithmetic.  Now, the ability to read effectively is a “racist” endeavor.  The SATs are racially charged to allow White students to do better than Black students.  The ability to write is to print down on the paper (print because we don’t teach cursive writing anymore) the words in any way you deem them understandable because it’s no longer important to know how a word is actually spelled.  The ability to do arithmetic is so erratic and convoluted that teaching the method that actually worked back in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s is a non-issue, even though students today are in greater numbers failing mathematics than ever before…

These are the same people advocating these methods who have the audacity to tell me (while their school systems are failing and their drop-out rates are abysmal) that I am not qualified to teach my own children?

These pediatricians as well, going from those before who were some of the most caring and family-friendly physicians to now where they view every parent as a monster who is trying to destroy the child.  There is no family-friendliness anymore.  A visit to the doctor nowadays is a hope that you don’t slip up and say or do the wrong thing and cause that physician to look at you as an abuser or a molester or a spanker!

Dr. Shenoda, who moved to California almost immediately after accusing Ms. Dalton, was an apparent fan of Professor Bartholet.

In her own journal article, “Children and Armed Conflict,” Shenoda cited Bartholet’s “Ratification by the United States of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: Pros and Cons from a Child’s Rights Perspective.”

Both Shenoda and Bartholet argue for overriding not only parental decisions but also the decision of the U.S. government to refuse to ratify the dangerous and tyrannical Convention on the Rights of the Child Treaty – a treaty that many parental rights groups have warned would be a severe blow to parental rights. Dr. Shenoda wrote:

Although the United States remains the only country that has not ratified the CRC, this exclusion does not preclude its use by pediatricians as a powerful tool to advocate for and advance the health and well-being of children affected by armed conflict and violence. …

It is thus important for the American Academy of Pediatrics and other pediatric professional societies such as the Academic Pediatric Association, the American Pediatric Society, and pediatricians as citizens to redouble their efforts in support of ratification.
In this regard, pediatricians should be prepared to address the most frequent legal, political, and cultural objections to ratification.

Although a detailed discussion of these objections is beyond the scope of this article, they include, among others: (1) opposition to the United States being subject to international law; (2) hesitancy to extend socioeconomic rights to children that would have financial consequences; (3) objections to allowing children and adolescents any capacity for independent decision-making, such as accessing family planning, choosing religious affiliation, or friendships; and (4) arguments that extending rights to children will negatively affect parental rights.

For example, the group Parental Rights has raised concerns about the potential for the United Nations to usurp the rights of parents to raise their children if the United States ratified the CRC.

The MedicalKidnap.com website has now been part of the Health Impact News network since 2014. We have published hundreds of stories documenting how the State kidnaps children from loving families and then abuses them in State-funded child social services and foster care programs.

It is a billion dollar child trafficking system that enslaves children.

These radical ideas of parenthood and government tyranny are not simply ideas discussed in classrooms in American colleges and universities, they are being used today to rip families apart where children are abused and trafficked by a corrupt Child Protection Services social program and foster care system.

More laws are not needed to protect children. Instead, current laws influenced by this radical way of thinking need to be de-funded, and law enforcement needs to be trained to uphold the Constitution and not allow social service agents to remove children from their homes without warrants, and with full due process of the law being followed.

No one can deny or will argue that there are plenty of parents out there who are not fit.  And no one who is a good parent will deny the state the right to go in and investigate charges.  But at the rate at which these administrators are attacking parents, there will come a point when no matter how good a parent you are, eventually one thing that you do will be your undoing.

“John and Denise, while we see that you have a stable home life, both of you appear to be decently educated, the children are of good weight and measure, and they are well-fed.  It seems that they get along with each other and that their friends find them jovial.  Your friends as well find you to be good parents, we have been made aware of the fact that you have been teaching them excessively about the Bible and this really indicates that they are lacking in the basic understanding of real-life consequences.  Therefore, it is the opinion of this court that the children should be placed in the custody of the authorities until such a time that you agree to stop teaching them about Moses.  This court is adjourned.”

Think it can’t happen?
