INTEREST OF AMICUS CURIAE 1
The National Association of Parents, Inc. (“ParentsUSA”) is a secular nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit
national organization with its offices located in Atlanta, Georgia. ParentsUSA exists to serve all legal
parents; i.e., mothers and fathers, married or unmarried, biological or adoptive, 2 and their children
throughout the United States. One of the missions of
ParentsUSA is to preserve and support the parentchild relationship by protecting the constitutional
rights of parents — as those rights have been recognized by this Court. See https://parentsusa.org.
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS
Petitioner more than adequately presented the
legal issues before this Honorable Court and supported such arguments with citations of authority and
argument to which ParentsUSA doing so would likely
be redundant and add little additional citations and
arguments for this Court to consider when determining whether to grant the Petition for Writ of Certiorari. Instead, ParentsUSA argues that the RookerFeldman doctrine should not stop lower federal courts
1 Counsel of record for all parties received notice of amicus curiae’s intention to file this brief at least 10 days prior to the due
date. Amicus curiae certifies that no counsel for a party authored
this brief in whole or in part and no person or entity, other than
amicus curiae, its members, or its counsel, has made a monetary
contribution to its preparation or submission.
Because the gender of the parents or their sexual orientation
should not be a qualifier, ParentsUSA intentionally does not include a term by which to do so. Yet, for clarity, ParentsUSA does
not differentiate parents based on their gender or sexual orientation, nor should it or should any court.

from exercising appellate jurisdiction over state judgments adverse to aggrieved parents if the fundamental constitutional rights of parents to decide for their
children and to guide their upbringing are truly to be
honored, as this Court time and time again has held
including in Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000), a
plurality decision.
Since 2000, courts and litigants have used
Troxel v. Granville to support and expand or to detract
and limit the fundamental constitutional rights of
parents. Litigation has exploded nationwide as legislatures have expanded the circumstances under
which nonparents can initiate or can intervene in
cases concerning the legal and physical custody, visitation, decision-making authority, visitation (a less offensive word, yet still the taking of a child from a parent for a period of time), equitable caregiver, guardianship, and other terms utilized to disguise or to describe accurately what will happen to children or what
the arrangement will be.
Government has expanded its intrusion into
family life under the claim that doing so is necessary
to protect children from harm. Protecting children
from harm always sounds good. Unfortunately, any
task or goal, as admirable and positive as it may
sound, is at risk of abuse by those individuals empowered. Nothing could be more apparent that the current
nationwide fervor generated over the-day-before-Halloween arrest caught on bodycam of a mother in Mineral Bluff, Georgia, population 370, whose 10-year-old
home schooled son, days away from turning 11, had
walked 9/10ths of a mile into the sleepy town in the
middle of the day without her knowledge or consent.
The arresting officer falsely proclaimed that it was
3
illegal for a 10-year-old to walk to the store. Contrast,
the next day, on Halloween, children of all ages, some
accompanied by a parent, many without a parent,
dressed in costumes and knocking on strangers’ and
neighbor’s doors in the dark, yet there were no reports
of parents being arrested. 3
Inclusion of this event is not gratuitous, but is
to assist the Court in recognizing that, yes, indeed
abuses of power takes place routinely against parents
and their children, as is further developed herein, and
the issues presented by Petitioner affect hundreds of
thousands of parents each year. It simply cannot be
denied that parents are aggrieved and they must be
provided complete due process in courts unaffected by
local politics and local community pressures and nuances; e.g., federal courts.
State and local law enforcement and social services case workers (DFCS, CPS, and other names of
such government entities as they vary state to state)
have enormous power, often wielded without judicial
oversight such as when child “protective agencies” act
warrantless. Even when warrants are obtained, all
within the legal system are aware of the low bar to
issuance of a warrant. Abuses of such powers occur.
Legislatures and Agencies are slow to react, if they react at all, to curb such abuses. Litigation is the method
by which aggrieved parents and their children can
seek nonmonetary relief (and, in appropriate cases,

seek monetary compensation). Litigation is also how
such future abuses are discouraged, which protects
parents and their children other than the litigating
parents.
Federal courts should be as receptive to the exercise of appellate jurisdiction for aggrieved families
as they are for businesses and individuals in non-family related cases. Family cases, such as the one that
prompted Petitioner to go to court, too often begin in
a small jurisdiction in which the various parties and
actors know one another, are related, classmates from
an early age, and local politics impact outcomes. On
appeal in state courts, the facts found at the trial court
are generally not reviewed making state court appeals
an empty promise of justice. The frequency with which
aggrieved parents claim or cry “corruption” can be interpreted as the disappointed and losing party blaming someone or something other than the actual facts
including their own behaviors or as indicating something is horribly wrong with the application of good
intentions through humans some of whom hold less
than honorable intentions. Just because a person
holds a title with a government agency, there simply
is no assurance that person is incapable of acting with
evil intentions and due process requires aggrieved
parents are afforded full review including by federal
courts.
As set forth herein, below, ParentsUSA contends that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine should not
stop lower federal courts from exercising appellate jurisdiction over state judgments adverse to aggrieved
parents and Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Certiorari
should be granted with full briefing on the merits.

On The Merits, Hold That The Rooker-Feldman Doctrine Should Not Stop Lower Federal Courts From Exercising Appellate Jurisdiction Over State Judgments

Iniquitous: Grossly unfair and morally wrong 4
What happens to parents and their children too
often is iniquitous (this word is used purposely). Children ripped from parents, parents labeled and
wronged. Relief not within reach. The continued denial of access to federal appellate jurisdiction also
would be iniquitous.
Ever quotable, Justice Scalia shared a
characteristically colorful insight in
2011 while testifying before the Senate
Judiciary Committee:
“Something that is iniquitous is extremely immoral or
wicked, such as an iniquitous political regime that assassinates
its enemies. Use the adjective iniquitous to describe something
that is truly bad, morally wrong, extremely wicked, or completely
unfair. It’s a strong word — don't use it lightly.” https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/iniquitous

[I]f you think that the Bill of Rights is
what sets us apart, you are crazy. Every
banana republic has a bill of rights....
[J]ust words on paper. What our Framers would have called a "parchment
guarantee."... [T]he real key to the distinctiveness of America is the structure
of our Government. One part of it... is the
independence of the judiciary.... (1) A
decade later, at Scalia's former academic
home, University of Chicago Law Professor Aziz Z. Huq 5 has set forth his own account of the relationship between constitutional structure, the judiciary, and individual liberty. In his latest work, The
Collapse of Constitutional Remedies
(Collapse)--which he describes as "a book
about how and when we have remedies
for constitutional wrongs," and "when
and why we don't" (2)--Huq espouses the
Scalia-esque notion that the Bill of
Rights, without an institutional mechanism for effectuating its guarantees, is
nothing more than ink on parchment.
Aziz Z. Huq is the Frank and Bernice J. Greenberg Professor
of Law at the University of Chicago. His book How to Save a Constitutional Democracy (with Tom Ginsburg) was published in October 2018 and won the International Society of Public Law ICON Book Prize (2019). Before teaching, Professor Huq litigated
voting rights and civil liberties as Associate Counsel and then
Director of the Liberty and National Security Project of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law. He was also a Senior Consultant Analyst for the International Crisis Group. He
clerked for Judge Robert D. Sack of the US Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit and for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the
Supreme Court of the United States.

But Huq parts ways with the late Justice
when it comes to the role of governmental structure in securing individual freedom.
Huq asserts that America's constitutional architecture has faltered, leaving
courts unreliable guardians of "We the
People's" rights. Indeed, he begins his
case before the book is even opened, with
the cover depicting a building in shambles.
This
construction/destruction
theme is reinforced in the pithy titles of
the book's five chapters: Blueprint,
Building, Remedies, Collapse, and Remains. At 160 pages, Collapse itself is
slim. But don't let its concision fool you.
Huq undertakes an ambitious historical
inquiry into "why federal courts behave
as they do" (3) and, based on this analysis, calls for reforms intended to address
the modern judiciary's perceived failings.
Huq's starting point is uncontroversial
enough: "The Constitution contains
many... rights. None enforces itself.
Without a remedy, a right has no practical value." (4) The consensus melts away,
however, as Huq unveils his principal
thesis: when it comes to righting constitutional wrongs, "[r]emedies are not
doled out in an even-handed way." (5) To
illustrate his point, Huq juxtaposes the
treatment of two Supreme Court litigants in 2020. Victorious was Seila Law
8
LLC, a small California-based law firm,
which persuaded the Court that restrictions on the President's authority to
remove the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) violated the separation of powers. (6) Defeated was Alexander Baxter, a homeless
arrestee whose case the Court declined
to review, leaving intact a Sixth Circuit
ruling that police officers who released a
dog on the nonresisting Baxter were protected by qualified immunity. (7) That
controversial doctrine--arguably "the
main source of the right-remedy gap" in
public law today (8)--shields police,
among other officials, from damages liability unless they violate "clearly established" constitutional rights. (9) This is
an exacting standard in practice. Qualified immunity, in its most robust iteration, has been described as protecting
"all but the plainly incompetent or those
who knowingly violate the law." (10)
According to Huq, the disparate outcomes in the Seila Law and Baxter cases
evince a pattern: litigants who "bridle
against government regulation tend to
have an easy glide path into federal
court," particularly when their complaints relate to the Constitution's
"structural limits on the power of government," such as "separation of powers and
federalism.... But when an individual
challenges illegal violence... as a violation of constitutional rights," federal
9
courts are "less hospitable." (11) Huq
cites a variety of legal rules, including
qualified immunity, that purportedly exemplify this double standard. (12) Their
combined effect, Huq argues, is that today, "most individual constitutional
wrongs that reach a federal court yield
no remedy"-and that "judicial action on
constitutional questions deepens economic, social, and racial hierarchies."

Constitutional Remedies, Yale Law Journal, Vol. 131,

IN TIGHTLY WOVEN COMMUNITIES WHERE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN SOCIAL WORK, COURTS,

INTERTWINED, RELATIVES, OR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS,
STATE COURTS ARE TOO OFTEN INHOSPITABLE TO
CLAIMS AGAINST FELLOW LOCAL GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS. THUS, FEDERAL COURT APPELLATE
JURISDICTION SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE.
6 Counsel for ParentsUSA called (left a voice message) and
emailed Professor Huq on Sunday, November 24, 2024, seeking
permission to represent to this Honorable Court that, if the Petition for Writ of Certiorari is granted, he would consider participating in the amicus curiae Brief on the merits of ParentsUSA
and/or invite students at the University of Chicago School of
Law, under his supervision, to do so. As of the submission of this
Brief to Counsel Press, counsel has not heard from Professor
Huq. One can only hope Professor Huq will lend his expertise to
the reforms this Court can implement to address the judiciary's
perceived failings.
10
Regrettably for Petitioner and for other parents
similarly situated across the USA, social services
workers, law enforcement, and, yes, even courts fail to
follow this Court’s long recognized constitutionally
protected interest of parents to raise their children
without undue state interference.
The fundamental liberty interest of natural
parents in the care, custody, and management of their child does not evaporate
simply because they have not been model
parents or have lost [at least] temporary
custody of their child to the State. Even
when blood relationships are strained, parents retain a vital interest in preventing
the irretrievable destruction of their family
life. If anything, persons faced with forced
dissolution of their parental rights have a
more critical need for procedural protections than do those resisting state intervention into ongoing family affairs. When the
State moves to destroy weakened familial
bonds, it must provide the parents with
fundamentally fair procedures.
Stanley v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745, 753-754 (1982). See
generally U.S. Const. amend. IX (“The enumeration in
the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”); U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1 (“... No State shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States
....”); Ga. Const. Art. 1, § 1, XXIX (“The enumeration
of rights herein contained as part of this Constitution
shall not be construed to deny to the people any inherent rights which they may have hitherto enjoyed.”).

“Orwellian” is an adjective that Merriam-Webster defines as: “of, relating to, or suggestive of George
Orwell or his writings[;] especially: relating to or suggestive of the dystopian reality depicted in the novel
1984.”
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Orwellian. “Yet Orwellianism isn’t just about big
government; it’s about authoritarianism coupled with
lies.” Five Myths about George Orwell, Gordon
Bowker, The Washington Post, February 24, 2017.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fivemyths-about-george-orwell/2017/02/24/24ef0572-f9ec11e6-9845-576c69081518_story.html
[W]hen [in the absence of compelling circumstances necessary to substitute its
own preferences for the parent’s decision] state actors engage in this sort of
Orwellian policymaking disguised as
judging, is it any wonder that so many
citizens feel as if the government does
not speak for them or respect the private
realm of family life.
In sum, I take this opportunity, yet
again, to remind our trial courts that, in
making any decision or taking any action
that interferes with a parent-child relationship, our state statutes are subordinate to and must be construed in light of
the fundamental rights recognized by the
federal and Georgia constitutions [ ]. As
this Court has rightly recognized, "[t]he
constitutional right of familial relations
is not provided by government; it preexists government." Indeed, this "cherished
and sacrosanct right is not a gift from the
12
sovereign; it is our natural birthright.
Fixed. Innate. Unalienable." Thus, regardless of a court’s personal feelings or
perception of a parent’s fitness to care for
or retain custody of his or her child, careful consideration of these bedrock constitutional principles and safeguards must
remain central to each case without exception. And when this fails to occur, we
will not hesitate to remind our trial
courts of the solemn obligation they have
to safeguard the parental rights of all
Georgians.
Borgers v. Borgers, 347 Ga. App. 640, 820 S.E.2d
474, 482 (2018)(citations omitted)(CJ Dillard, specially concurring).
Nothing could be more “Orwellian policymaking disguised as judging” Id. at 482, than parents being adjudicated by nonelected or appointed administrative executive branch employees at the lowest level
of child “welfare” services and by law enforcement, followed by state court juvenile court or state court hearings and trials at which constitutional rights are
trampled, threats of removal of children coerce parents into “agreements” that are far from voluntary,
and appellate relief at the state level is denied. The
Rooker-Feldman doctrine should not stop lower federal courts from exercising appellate jurisdiction over
state judgments where the state judgment neither
awarded nor denied damages, as is always the situation presented in state court actions wherein the
rights of parents and their children are at issue.
ParentsUSA presents the decision of the Supreme Court of Hawaii in John Doe and Jane Doe,
13
Petitioners-Appellants, v. John DOE and Jane Doe,
Respondents-Appellees, 172 P.3d 1067 (Hi. 2007), as
the most highly reasoned and thorough analysis of
Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000) as part of that
court’s consideration of the constitutionality of HRS
§571-46.3, Hawaii’s grandparent visitation statute.
The Hawaii Supreme Court discusses each and every
opinion, the plurality opinion of Justice O’Connor
joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist, Justice Ginsburg,
and Justice Breyer, separate concurring opinions by
Justice Souter and Justice Thomas, and separate dissenting opinions by Justice Stevens, Justice Scalia,
and Justice Kennedy. ParentsUSA would do a disservice to this Honorable Court to convey the discussion
and application of Troxel by the Hawaii Supreme
Court. 172 P.3d at 1071-1075.
Only by this Court granting the Petition for
Writ of Certiorari can the disparate opinions of the
Circuit Courts of Appeal be reconciled and made consistent. The people deserve due process to include access to federal appellate jurisdiction without the artificial and not substantive roadblock of the RookerFeldman doctrine and, while doing so, Troxel v. Granville would benefit from a revisit.
C.
THE PERVASIVENESS OF (ALLEGED)

With apologies to this Honorable Court, the
horrific headline, only days ago, is only intended to
convey that very bad things happen to parents and
their children. No judgment is being made as to
whether the police acted inappropriately, only that
events such as this do happen. Perhaps the family will
be pursued by child welfare services for failing to protect the child, perhaps other children of the surviving
father will be taken into child welfare custody, for
their purported safety. The range of actions law

enforcement and child welfare services can take is
wide and parents often are without the knowledge,
means, and strength to push back. When these matters go to state court or administrative hearings, appeals to higher state court are regularly denied. Occasionally, maybe more than occasionally, federal court
appellate jurisdiction should be available to review
meritorious claims of denial of due process and denial
of other constitutional rights.
Just how pervasive is corruption or criminally
negligent conduct by state actors? Certainly, aggrieved parents with adverse outcomes will readily
contend corruption or criminal negligence was why
their children were removed from their care and
placed in foster care or their parental rights were terminated.
“Where there is smoke, there is fire.”
The roots of this phrase date back to ancient times, with its first recorded use
dating all the way back to 43 B.C. That's
over 2,000 years ago! But it truly gained
popularity in the 16th century, and since
then, it's become a common saying in the
English language. Smoke, being the
cloudy gray or black mixture of air and
carbon that comes from something when
it’s burning, is most often directly related
to fire that it’s a natural assumption that
if you see one the other is present.
In the literal sense, it's true that where
there's fire, you'll likely see smoke. But
when we use this phrase in everyday conversations, we're not talking about
16
actual smoke or actual flames. It’s a metaphorical phrase. It's a way of saying
that if there's any suspicion or evidence
of something, there's a good chance it's
true.

There are reports and studies that make the
likelihood of “fire” a near certainty. See Appendix A,
restated and incorporated herein by reference. Included therein, by way of illustration, is The Cato Institute’s report on CPS Practices that “explores the
systemic issues within CPS, including the potential
for false-positive cases (where families face unwarranted CPS investigations) and false-negative cases
(where cases needing intervention go unaddressed).”
Child Protective Services Mistakes Demand Due Process Solutions, Diane Redleaf November 30, 2018.
https://www.cato-unbound.org/2018/11/30/dianeredleaf/child-protective-services-mistakes-demanddue-process-solutions/
The likelihood of “fire” appears nearly certain
also based on the volume of Facebook pages and Facebook groups focused on corruption (allegedly) by child
protective services (by whatever name), law enforcement, and family courts. There is a good chance many
of the assertions by these parents are true and they
should not be dismissed out of hand (as Petitioner and
other parents allege state trial courts and appellate
courts do). See Appendix B and Appendix C, restated
and incorporated herein by reference.
17
When parents become litigants in state courts
and do not obtain relief and appeals to state appellate
courts fail to reverse, when the fundamental constitutional rights of parents are at issue, denying these
parents access to our federal courts is the denial of due
process. Indeed, each parent who goes to court with
allegations of “intentional differential treatment without a rational basis” can be viewed as a “class of one”
entitled to assert such a cause of action. Willowbrook
v. Olech, 120 S.Ct. 1073, 1074, 528 U.S. 562, 564

Based on the anecdotal evidence as provided
within Appendix A, Appendix B, and Appendix C, incorporated herein by reference, the cases that are adjudicated at the state court level and affirmed on appeal and for which aggrieved parents desire to avail
themselves of federal court appellate jurisdiction are
likely to be a combination of intentional differential
treatment without a rational basis and “vindictive action,” “illegitimate animus,” or “ill will” sufficient to
transform such actions by aggrieved parents seeking
relief into cases of constitutional rights under the
Equal Protection Clause (in addition to cases of constitutional rights of parents). 120 S.Ct. at 1075, 528
U.S. at 565-566 (Justice Breyer, concurring in the result) citing Esmail v. Macrane, 53 F.3d 176 (CA7 1995)
and Willowbrook v. Olech, 160 F.3d 386, 388 (CA7

Rockwool-Duke Global Child Welfare Database
https://www.ndacan.acf.hhs.gov/datasets/dataset-details.cfm?ID=271
Abstract: The Rockwool–Duke Global Child Welfare
Database (RDGCWD) compiles cross-national aggregate information from the Global North about children who experienced contact with child welfare systems (CWS) or child protective services (CPS) between
2000 and 2020. Data were collected from national
child welfare agencies or national or transnational
statistical agencies, and include measures of child
maltreatment investigations, confirmed child maltreatment, and children in out-of-home care. Population data are included for the measurement of incidence and prevalence of system contact. The
RDGCWD provides a unique resource for comparative
and longitudinal research on child maltreatment and
child welfare systems. However, potential unobserved
variation in the definition of child maltreatment or in
the administration of child welfare and child protection warrant caution in the interpretation of variation
and change in system contact.
Child Maltreatment Recurrences Among Families Served by Child Protective Services, 1984
to 1992
https://www.ndacan.acf.hhs.gov/datasets/datasetdetails.cfm?ID=69 This longitudinal study of 1,206
families assembled during a 4-year NCCAN-funded
research project focuses on recurrences of child maltreatment among families known to public Child Protective Services (CPS). Objectives are to (1) describe
recurrence of types, severity, rates, distributions, and
frequency of maltreatment over five years; (2)
3a
replicate and extend knowledge about predicting recurrence risk after an index incident; (3) initiate development of models to predict recurrence risk after
termination of CPS services; and (4) determine (a)
whether variables that discriminate between maltreating and non-maltreating families are correlates
of recurrent maltreatment and (b) whether hypotheses from models formulated to explain why some parents maltreat also explain recurrences. Products will
include risk assessment models. Bibliographic Citation: DePanfilis, D. (1997).Child Maltreatment Recurrences Among Families Served by Child Protective

Child Protective Services Mistakes Demand
Due Process Solutions by Diane Redleaf November
30, 2018 The Cato Institute on CPS Practices: This
source explores the systemic issues within CPS, including the potential for false-positive cases (where
families face unwarranted CPS investigations) and
false-negative cases (where cases needing intervention go unaddressed). LINK: https://www.cato-unbound.org/2018/11/30/diane-redleaf/child-protectiveservices-mistakes-demand-due-process-solutions/

Parental Rights and Family Harm: Many parents report experiencing trauma from CPS interventions, particularly when children are removed on a
temporary basis but are later returned home after investigations fail to substantiate abuse claims. This
process can damage parent-child relationships and
cause psychological stress for both children and parents involved. Several legal advocacy groups have
raised concerns about due process issues, which can
exacerbate these harms by not allowing families adequate defense or support during CPS investigations

Child Maltreatment Report 2021 This report
presents national data about child abuse and
neglect known to child protective services agencies in the United States during federal fiscal
year 2021. LINK: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cb/cm2021.pdf During
FFY
2021, CPS agencies across the nation screened in
2,002,027 referrals in the 51 reporting states. Estimating for missing data brings the total to 2,045,000
referrals, which is a 13.2 percent decrease from the
2,356,356 referrals reported by 52 states for FFY
2017. (See exhibit 2–A on page 7and related notes.)
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cb/cm2021.pdf For 2021, a national estimate
of 1,942,000 referrals were screened out. This is a 9.4
percent increase from the 1,775,000 estimated
screened-out referrals for 2017. (See exhibit 2–B on
page
7
and
related
notes.)
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cb/cm2021.pdf For 2021, CPS agencies received a national estimate of 3,987,000 total referrals.
5a
This is a 3.5 percent decrease from the 4,131,000 estimated total referrals received for 2017. The 2021 estimated total referrals alleging maltreatment includes
approximately 7,176,600 children.7,8 (See exhibit 2–
C
on
page
8
and
related
notes).
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cb/cm2021.pdf As shown in exhibits 2–C and
2–D, the estimated number of total referrals received
by CPS agencies increased from 2017 through 2019.
During FFY 2020, nearly all 52 states had a decrease
in estimated total referrals from the prior year (FFY
2019), while during FFY 2021, only 25 states reported
a decrease in estimated total referrals when compared
with FFY 2020. This led to a slight national increase
for FFY 2021 when compared with FFY 2020. (See exhibit 2–C on page 8 and related notes).

Sources
LINK:
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cb/cm2021.pdf - The report source is the role of
the person who notified a CPS agency of the alleged
child abuse or neglect in a referral. Only those sources
in reports (screened-in referrals) that receive an investigation response or alternative response are submitted to NCANDS. To aid with comparisons, report
sources are grouped into three categories:
■ Professional: includes persons who encounter the
child as part of their occupation, such as child daycare
providers, educators, legal and law enforcement personnel, and medical personnel. State laws require
most professionals to notify CPS agencies of suspected
maltreatment (these are known as mandated reporters).
6a
■ Nonprofessional: includes persons who do not have
a relationship with the child based on their occupation, such as friends, relatives, and neighbors. State
laws vary as to the requirements of nonprofessionals
to report suspected abuse and neglect.
■ Unclassified: includes persons who preferred to be
anonymous, “other,” and unknown report sources.
States use the code of “other” for any report source
that does not have an NCANDS designated code. According to comments provided by the states, the
“other” report source category might include such
sources as religious leader, Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families staff, landlord, tribal official or member, camp counselor, and private agency staff. Readers are encouraged to review Appendix D, State Commentary for additional information as to what states
include in the category of “other” report source.
FFY 2021 data show professionals submit 67.0 percent of reports. The highest percentages of reports are
from legal and law enforcement personnel (21.8%), education personnel (15.4%), and medical personnel
(12.2%). Nonprofessionals submit 17.1 percent of reports with the largest category of nonprofessional reporters being parents (6.5%), other relatives (6.2%),
and friends and neighbors (3.9%). Unclassified
sources submit the remaining 16.0 percent.9 (See exhibit 2–E on page 9 and related notes.) As expected
with some states continuing with virtual learning into
FFY 2021, the number and percentage of education
personnel report sources continue to be lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Continuing on pages

Health-Related Outcomes of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Texas, 2002 Shanta R. Dube,

2010;7(3):A52.
http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2010/ may/09_0158.htm. Introduction We
assessed the prevalence of 7 childhood adversities
(psychological, physical, and sexual abuse; household
mental illness; household substance abuse; maternal
9a
battery; and incarceration of a household member)
and the associations of those adversities with health
outcomes.
Methods Using data from 5,378 people who responded to the 2002 Texas Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System survey (which included questions about childhood adversity), we created 4 groups:
no childhood abuse or household dysfunction, childhood abuse only, household dysfunction only, and both
childhood abuse and household dysfunction. We examined groups by sociodemographic variables and the
association with current smoking, obesity, and selfrated health.
Results Among adult respondents, 46% reported at
least 1 childhood adversity. Reports of both household
dysfunction and abuse were significantly lower for college graduates than for people with less education.
For those with both abuse and household dysfunction,
the odds of current smoking were 1.9 and for obesity
were 1.3. Compared to people without childhood adversities, people who experienced childhood adversities more frequently reported having fair or poor general health status.
Conclusion Childhood adversities are common
among Texas adults. People with childhood adversities are more likely to be socioeconomically disadvantaged, less educated, and have difficulties maintaining employment in adulthood compared to people with
no adversities. Moreover, childhood adversities appear to be associated with health problems such as
current smoking, obesity, and poor or fair general
health
among
Texas
adults.

Building a Multi-System Trauma-Informed
Collaborative: A Guide for Adopting a CrossSystem, Trauma-Informed Approach Among
Child-Serving Agencies and Their Partners NCJ Number 254847

Annotation
This guide presents a framework for system-level
and cross-system strategic planning and implementation processes that support and facilitate trauma-informed systems change that will enable child-serving
agencies and their partners to provide a multifaceted,
multidisciplinary battery of evidence-based services
for children and youth who have suffered trauma underlying their problem behaviors.
Abstract
In 2010, the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) supported the first
federally sponsored efforts to bring together childserving system partners to develop strategic plans designed to serve youth and families at risk for or impacted by violence and other adverse childhood experiences. Starting as a series of city, county, and Tribal
demonstration projects and later as state-level
11a
initiatives, these awards provided training and technical assistance to senior policymakers and other
partners during their strategic planning and implementation periods.
The current guide summarizes what was learned
during their engagements with the most recent cohort
of state-level teams. The envisioned multi-system
trauma-informed collaborative (MSTIC) has the following four goals: 1) To increase the capacity of state
child-serving systems to collaborate in identifying,
screening, assessing, and treating youth exposed to violence; 2) To apply culturally competent, family-focused approaches and increase knowledge of evidence-
12a
based policies, practices, and programs to improve
service provision; 3) To improve the ability of state
systems in identifying, implementing, and monitoring
impacts of effective trauma-informed strategies to improve outcomes; and 4) To improve the capacity of systems to blend funding streams to sustain implementation of evidence-based, trauma-informed practices.
The current guide offers a framework for achieving
these goals. It promotes a staged process for launching
a multi-system trauma-informed collaborative and
support for the adoption of a cross-sector trauma-informed approach. 5 figures, 74 references, and appended action plans and samples.
Advance System and Cross-System Policies
and Practices Through Legislative Action
A top priority for advocates should be to formulate
recommendations for and evaluate the effects of
13a
specific federal, state, and local legislation, regulations, and related actions to address ACEs and
trauma. Advancing change will require educating legislators about ACEs, opportunities for funding, and
relevant policy changes to prevent ACEs and mitigate
their effects.
At the federal level, advocates and legislators should
partner in efforts to formulate policy platforms, such
as the Trauma-Informed Care for Children and Families Act (2017)—the first comprehensive piece of legislation introduced in Congress seeking to infuse
brain science related to ACEs and child and youth
health into government policies and programs. At the
state and local level, they should advocate for specific
trauma-informed policies in early childhood care and
education centers, the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and health care settings and with first
responders. As discussed previously, their efforts
should also include creating opportunities for crosssector collaboration in policy development, advocacy,
and implementation as well as funding model pilots
and innovative approaches to build evidence and enable
scaling
of
promising
programs.
https://www.chapinhall.org/wp-content/uploads/PDF/Multi-System-Trauma-Informed-CareMSTIC-Guide.pdf
Promote Public Awareness
Public education directed from the highest levels of
leadership is paramount. Awareness efforts should focus on a recognition that adverse child experiences
and the resulting trauma impacts every community
and are not isolated to certain populations. Coordinated education, awareness building, and training for
health services providers, funders, parents and
14a
families, and other child-serving sectors should establish a common language and personalized understanding about the science of ACEs and thriving as
well as strategies for prevention and healing. In doing
so, awareness should frame the work on ACEs and
childhood trauma in a way that is uplifting and hopeful rather than fatalistic. In developing advocacy efforts, it will be important to ensure grassroots support. Campaigns from government institutions may
be met with mistrust in some communities; thus, it
will be essential to partner with local groups and actors to build trust and inspire change from within
communities. Trauma-informed care initiatives in
several states, including Wisconsin’s Foster Futures,
Tennessee’s Building Strong Brains (BSB), and Oregon’s Trauma Informed Oregon (TIO), as well as several city-based collaboratives in Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Walla Walla, have all included public
awareness efforts that can provide guidance in this respect to other jurisdictions. https://www.chapinhall.org/wp-content/uploads/PDF/Multi-SystemTrauma-Informed-Care-MSTIC-Guide.pdf
ADVOCACY MATTERS: HELPING MOTHERS
AND THEIR CHILDREN
http://www.futureswithoutviolence.org/userfiles/file/Children_and_Families/AdvocacyMatters.pdf
Many women who have experienced domestic violence are also involved with the child protection system (CPS). Most are poor, and a disproportionate
number are women of color, both immigrant and U.S.
born. Being involved with CPS can be frightening,
overwhelming and confusing for them. And as an advocate, you may feel as helpless as the women you are
15a
trying to assist. This guidebook is intended to understand a woman’s situation and help her navigate the
road to safety, well-being, and self-sufficiency.

This group is intended to connect American citizens
who are ready to take action against the corruption
within family courts and the agencies they empower
all across America. Every day the family court system
violates the rights of American families. Families are
being torn apart without any evidence of actual abuse
or neglect. With the power given by family court, children and/or elderly relatives are often taken by corrupt officials, from loving homes and placed in less
than ideal living situations. Some of these living situations have even proven to be deadly. This group is to
plan and discuss peaceful protests across America
against the war the family court systems seem to have
against American families. Please feel free to share

would rally across America against family court, CPS,
guardianship programs, and any other entity responsible for the legal destruction of American families.

Porthole To Justice Est. 2014. 2.3K members. Public.
Admins are from Morro Bay, California and Grants
Pass, Oregon. “Hi Friends, Welcome to "Porthole to
Justice" The window to the truth, Im doing this for the
parents and children. The books I post here are
friends and authors that helped me during my own
case with Cps. My goal is to provide real resources to
parents that are going through the system. To help
35a
them to navigate translate the court process in layman terms. Provide a platform to educate the public
on what is occurring in our justice system and child
protective services. With a focus on exposing targeted
protective parents for profit. Corruption and Fraud on
the court. We are not a pro mothers or pro fathers
group. Targeting for the profit of the courts is not isolated to either gender. We educate on the abuse of plenary of authority or abuse of power from the bench.
We promote due process in children and family courts.
Plenary means characterized by being full and complete in every respect. For example, a plenary trial is
a full trial of all the issues, factual and legal. Sometimes when a case is heard on appeal, the hearing is
limited to only questions of law. However, an appellate judge may order the case to be sent back to the
trial court to be heard again from scratch in a plenary
trial. in reference to a legislative session, it refers to
being attended or meant to be attended by every member or delegate. Plenary authority refers to the complete power of a governing body. Plenary is also used
to denote complete control in other circumstances, as
in plenary authority over public funds, as opposed to
limited authority over funds that are encumbered as
collateral or by a legal claim. The plenary power of the
U.S. Congress, or of other sovereign nations, allow
them to pass laws, levy taxes, wage wars and hold in
custody those who offend against their laws. For example, in immigration law, Congress, under the Plenary Power Doctrine, has the power to make immigration policy free from judicial review. This doctrine was
established at the end of the nineteenth century,
when the Supreme Court declared that Congress had
"plenary power" to regulate immigration, Indian
tribes, and newly acquired territories. The doctrine is
36a
based on the concept that immigration is a question of
national sovereignty, relating to a nation's right to define its own borders. Courts generally refrain from interfering in immigration matters. To date there have
been no successful challenges to federal legislation
that refuses admission to classes of non-citizens or removes resident aliens.”

Cameras in Court Now. 1.3K members. Public. Deer
Park, New York. “This group is dedicated to the use of
cameras in the courtroom in support of the due process owed to those before the courts. The absolute procedural due process rights of those before the courts,
we believe includes the right to record court proceedings to compare against the official transcript as a basis for comparison, correction and settlement of the
transcript. In addition, we support the peaceable assembly in courtrooms, the freedom of speech regarding official judicial conduct, the preservation of evidence of official judicial conduct, the right to petition
our lower legislative house as the grand jury for the
Court for the Trial of Impeachment in the upper legislative house for Memorial and Remonstrance seeking Impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors
as our First Amendment check upon our government.
We hold constitutions to be special revocable trusts
where We the People, being of sound mind above the
age of majority are the grantors of the constitutions,
all of the People are the beneficiaries, all government
officials are trustees and the assets in trust is the
44a
sovereignty that We have divided among the three
branches. We also support the substantive due process rights of those before the courts, specifically the
right of public attendance through broadcasting
where appropriate in open courts. We oppose the use
of unbridled discretion to arbitrarily and capriciously
exercise prior restraint against recording based on
vague and amorphous criteria. We support the education of both the public and judiciary and the other
branches of government as we seek the requirement
of the fiduciary responsibility of accountability from
our public officials.”

Tennessee Coalition for Family Court Reform.
1.2K members. Public. Tennessee. “Regarding DCS
and the Collusion of TN Family Courts......"The involvement of these agencies often comes with a certain
stigma attached. Many parents don't speak out for
embarrassment or shame. We are bullied, our children are legally kidnapped from us, and often times
trafficked by the very counties and states in which we
live and work.We are manipulated, made false promises so that we'll comply, our words are often twisted
against us, as are the words of or children. Even our
extended family relationships are sometimes destroyed, and friendships too. It is no secret that there
are some people using this system vindictively. For example: you're in a nasty custody battle and your ex
involves CPS as a tool to paint an ugly picture of you,
making them the obviously better parent in the eyes
of the state/court. You have a disagreement with the
faculty at your child's school and they in turn report
you to CPS as a means of retribution. Of all these examples the greatest atrocity is the lack of proof on the
part of the agency or provocation on the part of the
parent(s) in question. These 'investigations" are most
commonly a matter of HEARSAY. Many of us have
lived this very real nightmare. This is a safe forum to
share your stories with other parents that have lived
through the same thing you have or are currently going through. There are millions of us throughout the
United States... WE ARE NOT ALONE. IT IS TIME
TO STAND TOGETHER AND FIGHT BACK
AGAINST
THIS
VERY
DIABOLICAL
DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY. Your tax dollars

business. In courtrooms across this nation children
are torn away and isolated from their father or
mother, becoming pawns in a scheme that is designed
to keep parent’s fighting, and money flowing. The
power of Family Court Professionals, CPS workers,
and court-ordered services of guardian ad litems, psychologists, counselors, and therapists whose opinions
are used to disparage and malign parents and their
children without evidence to back up such attacks,
other than the observations and opinions of these
court appointed ‘players’, enables them to exploit the
disagreement of parents within a corrupt system that
lacks oversight to prevent such abuse. Judicial and
Quasi-judicial immunity affords protection from civil
liability in negligence or malpractice cases, thus
judges and those who are delegated judicial (guardian
ad litems, forensic evaluators, expert witnesses etc.)
are protected and not held accountable for false accusations, extortion, abuse of power and corruption.”

Parent's Against Child Protective Services (CPS) Authority Abuse. 457 members. Public. USA. “It needs to
be presently known to the country about CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES (CPS) SYSTEM AND
AUTHORITY ABUSE... Families are being abused by
the very system which was put into place to protect
them. Child Protective Service (CPS) agencies abuse
their federally endorsed authority to destroy the lives
of thousands of children every year. Child protective
Service around the nation abuse their authority by lying, manipulate and financially profiting for CPS
workers and the CPS system; in turn destroying and
separating children from their homes; having no intention to ever honestly resolve, restructure and reunite the family for the better, turning children into orphans and lost without a background of self. This is
an issue that seriously needs to be address... The only
people that suffer are the children. Child Protective
Services (CPS) in America has violated the trust of the
people and the children they are supposed to be protecting. Brenda Scott, in her study of CPS concluded,
"Child Protective Services is out of control. The system, as it operates today, should be scrapped. If children are to be protected in their homes and in the
56a
system, radical new guidelines must be adopted. At
the core of the problem is the anti-family mindset of
CPS. Removal is the first resort, not the last. With insufficient checks and balances, the system that was
designed to protect children has become the greatest
perpetrator of harm." Please join me in telling your
stories and start a petition as well as lobbing to reform
CPS. We are fighting for the kids that have been taking from us and fighting to prevent children to be
wrongly taking from other families. CPS has come to
believe they are above the law and the Constitution.
Many people are unaware of how CPS works and what
they truly do to families. Please help me in my endeavor... My son and many other children are suffering because of the dehumanization being forced upon
them. I need over 10,000 signatures for the petition to
reform Child Protective Services (CPS) Along with the
petition for CPS REFORM... I want to also file a class

AND IN WHICH FOSTER HOME, I MEAN I AM
NOT RELIGIOUS BUT DIDN'T GOD ALREADY
MAKE THAT DECISION? IN RESEARCHING THE
U.S. CONSTITUTION I HAVE FOUND THAT
WHEN DCS COMES INTO YOUR HOME WITH
COPS AND THEY TAKE YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN
THEY ARE VIOLATING A MINIMUM OF 10 OF
YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THAT IS
JUST WHAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR......IF THE
CONSTITUTION WAS INTENDED TO BE THE
SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND THEN WHERE
DOES DCS'S ENTITLEMENT COME IN TO THE
PICTURE? I JUST WANT AS MANY GROUPS AND
AS MANY LIKE MINDED PEOPLE TO STAND UP
AGAINST THESE CORRUPT BRAINWASHED
AGENCY WORKERS. i DO REALIZE THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN A CHILD SHOULD BE REMOVED
FROM THE HOME BUT IF DCS WOULD
CONCENTRATE ON PREVENTION RATHER
THAN FOSTER CARE. KIDS WOULD BE SO MUCH
HAPPIER, AND PARENTS WOULD BE HOME
WITH THEIR KIDS JUST LIKE THEY WERE

IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CORPORATION,

a gauntlet of bureaucratic hoops in order to get them
back. Yet this is only temporarily until the next time
they are taken away by CPS, based on an anonymous

CORRUPT CPS CASES JUSTICE FOR JUSTICE.
143 members. Public. Dallas, Texas. “The day after
our first child was born CPS/DSS came to the hospital
and took our baby boy. Their reason was based on incidences from 8 months previous. None of which were
things going on in our lives at that moment. We had
been preparing for our son for 8 months and we were
perfectly capable of caring for him. They made accusations and were proven wrong on all of them but they
still refuse to give us our child. So now for the first 5
months of our son's life he does not get to receive the
love that only his parents can give. He does not get to
breast feed which everyone knows is the most important thing in a child's first year of life. Instead he
is being moved from stranger to stranger, drinking
formula and definitely not receiving the love of his
parents. We named our son Justice before any of this
started and we now believe there is a reason why God
sent us this name. We want to bring awareness to this
VERY serious issue and connect with other people
that may have had the same problem. Help us bring
Justice to Justice.”

Judicial Corruption!. 132 members. Private. USA. “I
have started this group to help families members who
have been wrongly ripped apart by Child Protective
Services and the family court system. Mothers, fathers, grandparents who truly never neglected or
68a
abused their children and had them torn away and
put into the hands of the truly abusive parent or family member. I do this for my beautiful little boys who
are almost 7 and 11 years old. Parents who spoke up
about an abusive family member only to have CPS
and the court system terminate or are currently attempting to terminate a parents rights. Members of
this group can share their stories and help bring
awareness and advice to their heartbreaking ordeals.
This is a private group so when sensitive private material is shared here needs to stay in this group unless
a family member gives the okay to share their story.
The neglect and abuse to kids caused by caseworkers
and the courts who didn't acknowledge, care or were
influenced by greed and power NEEDS TO STOP.
More attention needs to be shown to not just the
United States but to our whole world. Too many children have been tortured, raped, psychologically damaged and even murdered by terrible parents and ignored by many Child Protective Services throughout
the United States and beyond. So please help us
heartbroken parents and loved ones seek justice for
our amazing children who have no voice or say in what
they want and need when it comes to inexperienced
and sometimes just plain rotten and greedy caseworkers, judges, lawyers, Guardian Ad Litems and fight
against the true abusive parent. Both mothers and fathers have been torn apart by the system that is supposed to defend and protect them from physical, psychological, emotional and sexual abuse. Share their

out there; feel free to message me for recommendations. I have no problem helping you find the right
group for your situation.”
