Do you have any idea what this was all about?
It didn't appear to me that there was any force on the part of the
police until the child threatened to kick and bite and refused to
comply.
If the police have a court order that they have to enforce then that's
simply what they have to do.
If you know something about why the child was taken, or proof that the
child was even taken on an order by DFS, then please do indicate where
you find this information aside from the claims of the poster of the
video.

Betty, Did you read the YouTube text description?

CAS is Canadian, by the way, Children's Aid Society.

Not everything in a WWW discussion
is about Missouri DFS, Betty.

I said nothing about MIssouri, Greg.
CAS, and DFS, and CPS, as well as a whole load of other agencies are
the same, with different names.
Children's protective services, any way you stack it up.
You avoided answering my questions as to whether or not there was any
credible accounting of this incident.
A label on a youtube video doesn't really seem credible to me.
Apparently it does to you.

It's funny that CPS uses low standards of evidence,
which you'd swear by, but when something cuts
against CPS you need the highest evidenciary standards.

Why is that, Betty?    <grin>

I don't see any evidence of anything.
Do you?
A label is placed on a video showing police scuffling with a child of
about 10 to 13.
The label may be factual, it may not be.
If it is, there could be a whole slew of reasons behind it.
Was the child with the non custodial parent?  Did that parent refuse
to return the child to the custodial parent and social services became
involved, as well as the police?
Was the child in need of some kind of services that she refused, such
as mental health services?  Looks to me like the young lady is a bit
out of control.  No child of mine would ever dare threaten a police
officer and then physically attack them.
Was the child in state custody already and refusing to return from a
visit?  Did the child run away?  What WERE the circumstances, Greg?
I'm not holding anyone, or any entity to a 'standard'.
All I am asking for is the whole story.
This is something you would normally agree with.
What gives now?  Why are you suddenly making more of this than the eye
can see?
No news report, no posted records, nothing but a short youtube video
with a caption that reads that CAS ordered police to take a child by
force.
We don't know why, where, etc.
Lay off the bullshit already.

Because it would not support greggs account of things and his personal
belief structure.  As I remember, to gregg the facts only tend to cloud a
good story and therefore should be avoided at all costs.

Ron buddy, do you really think that this is a "good story"?
Pretending Greg wasn't involved of course...

Tell me, you were a cop once right?  Is this what it's like?  The
video I mean.  Is it at least realistic in its presentation?      Did
you ever get to drag a 12 year old away from their family kicking and
screaming?

I'm not a cop, nor have i ever been one.  However, I've had relatives
who were, including my uncle, who was a constable for many years.  I
don't think he would have worded your phrase quite the way you
did....'get to drag a 12 year...'.
LK, do you know more about this story than the two and a half minute
video shows?

Ron said "good story."  I assume he meant that he liked it.

No.  I just thought it would add a good visual.  There is lots of good
stuff on YouTube.  I could post more if you'd like.

I get stuff like this sent to me from the readers of my blog all the

Can't you post something that might actually help someone who's family

"Good visuals, good stuff, and stuff like this" isn't really helpful.

Can you?

Explain how your practically daily refrences to "Ken's daughters porn
videos," helps families Dan.

> "Good visuals, good stuff, and stuff like this" isn't really helpful.

And you're advertising porn in usenet does?

Don't you understand that CPS gets away with all it does simply
because society is misled and ignorant of the issue?  If a video from
YouTube can help people to see what it's like dealing with these
a.sholes or wake a few people up to the truth then somewhere down the
line it's going to start helping a lot more families then your "one
family at a time/kiss CPS a.s approach" ever thought of.

How many people have read what you have to say about the Child
Protective/Foster Care issue Dan?  How many people have actually heard
your brilliant advice?

And you can say whatever you want about what I post here or to my
website, but I still get more readers then you ever will.
In the last 30 days, Legally Kidnapped http://www.LegallyKidnapped.blogspot.com
had 5,468 Pageviews  from 3,261 Absolute Unique Visitors, and that
continues to grow every month.  It's a new favorite of the Family
Rights movement.

I'll tell you what Dan.  If you're advice is so great, I'll make a
deal with you.  Write a few articles that tells ways of dealing with
CPS or get a web cam and make a few YouTube videos of your own and if
they're worth a piss hole in the snow, I'll post them.  We'll call it
"Dan's Corner!"  I'll even provide a special link that brings up
everything that you post.  I'll make you famous throughout the family
rights movement and the CPS/foster care system as the brilliant CPS
stratigest that you claim to be.

All you have to do is prove it.

Enough to get dozens and dozens of kids back to their parents.

Enough to challenge CPS findings and have them reversed.

Enough to have their criminal charges dropped.

That would not be correct. Using Dans advice I have helped two
families, one family to get thier children back from CPS and another
parent who was placed on the registry, taken off the registry. You and
gag both know this, and know he helped Betty and Lost in Translation.

Carry on idiots.

When someone claims the best way to get children returned to their parents
is by challenging the Constitutionality of the Family Court system , I
couldn't let it go without telling the truth.

May 25, 2006, FightCPS,

"I was here for a few months before I asked Bob Lynn to provide proof
for his claim "When sued, CPS loses in the majority of cases."

He insisted he was right for a week or so and then retracted his
statement as fact and changed it to his unsubstantiated opinion."

   You claimed my using a name other than your own to reference you
means I'm loser.  Since you started using a name other than mine to
reference me before I adopted your style, you MUST think YOU are a
loser.
   Or do you think the standards you set for others do not apply to

Well, Greg, does it really matter that you offered us all proof of
your letter to the Ways And Means Committee?
I don't see you proving much else.  Not that I really want or expect
any proof of anything from you.
When the subject of workers using investigation forms came up I was
part of that discussion, and I offered real proof...I scanned a copy
of one and give it to anyone who asked.  Even you.
That's 'real proof'.
I don't see much of that kind of stuff from you.

    As of my writing this, I've never seen any proof of any claim
Greg has made.  He's offered some items that, upon investigation, fail
to support, let alone prove, any claim he's made.

    That Dan is able to help really angers GregWhore and Kenny-Bob.
They have a vested interest in seeing that no one is ever helped.
Kenny-Bob's livelihood depended on it at one time.  GregWhore thinks
everyone should be the massive failure he is.

Sadly, that should be obvious by the lack of respect, lack of
dignified solutions, etc that are posted within this group by Greg, et
al.
I've always been amazed at the 'pack of hungry wolves' mentality that
seems to ooze from each post they make when a new poster, searching
for information, writes here.
I've often been amused by the stupidity posted.
Meanwhile, nothing gets accomplished for those families.  It seems
that many just post, and then disappear into the woodwork, afraid and
distraught even further after reading the 'pearls' of 'wisdom' Greg,
et al, produce.
Few of us have stayed on...myself, FM, wishing to help people just as
we were helped.
I find it ironic that the question is posed, time and time again 'Tell
us your strategy', and yet, a simple question 'What do you think would
be a solution?' is never answered.
You can't know the solution if you don't know the problem, and you
can't know the problem if you aren't willing to listen.
There is no listening by the 'kill CPS' crowd.  They only wish to
berate and use failures as examples of their 'right'.
It's pretty pathetic.  What is supposed to be a support group becomes
an obsession in winning the pissing contest.
I've always felt this group could serve as a wealth of information for
those in need, but, as unfortunate as it is, Greg, et al, use this
group to create fear, rebellion, distraction, and more.
Disgusts me.

Betty, I realize that I'm just "et al," and everything, but that's a
one hell of a case of the pot calling the kettle black that you're
suggesting here.  Your side is guilty of the same thing.  Remember, it
wasn't that long ago that I started posting here.  I got several
private emails, most from your side and from people who rarely if ever
post here, trying to either scare me away and even a couple trying to
steer me towards Dan to "help me with my case" as it was put.  Oh I
was going to get attacked and on and on.  And the one thing that I can
tell you is that there are lots of people who read this group.  They
just don't post here.  In my first post to this group, I put a link to
my website and over 60 unique hits came from this group that night.
Do you know who all of these people are Betty?

If Greg scares people away from this group it's for their own good.
I've seen it happen to people in other groups looking for support
online and having everything they posted turn up on the desk of a
judge.  Besides, don't you think it's time that somebody speaks the
truth, tells it like it is and doesn't sugar coat it with all of the
political correctness and feminist bullshit, or the blown out of
proportion child abuse propaganda that you all fall for.  All Greg's
doing is calling a spade a spade.  So his method is not politically
correct or it's impolite.  Neither is reality.

And do you know what else?  You all feed the fire.  So if anything,
you're just as guilty as he is.

> Few of us have stayed on...myself, FM, wishing to help people just as
> we were helped.

Uh huh.  I kind of get the feeling that you all like the fight too.
Otherwise you wouldn't participate.  You all would leave and snuggle
in warmly with a nice friendly moderated group in Yahoo or somewhere.
But for some reason you all just keep on going right?  Or is it like
Greg says, this your last hope because you got kicked out of all the
others?

> I find it ironic that the question is posed, time and time again 'Tell
> us your strategy', and yet, a simple question 'What do you think would

There are plenty of solutions Betty, you just have to start thinking
in those terms.  And you can't do so until you're willing to listen to
and discuss the truth for what it is instead of arguing against it
simply because it was stated by Greg.

> You can't know the solution if you don't know the problem, and you

Listen to who Betty? Dan? Ron? Get real!
You Betty, being the one system suck that seems to have half a brain
must at least realize that Dan's one family at a time approach just
isn't enough to solve the problem for the thousands going through it
at any given time.  You also have to expose the truth and educate the
people so that they cry out against the injustice as a whole.  Greg is
at least the one person in here making an attempt to do that.  Look
what he gets for it.

> They only wish to
> berate and use failures as examples of their 'right'.

That's where you're dead wrong.  People like you want to cover up the
severity or quantity of their failures as well as their motives.  You
all want to believe deep in your hearts that they're really trying to
do the right thing when you know damn well that it's all about
money.   Sure maybe not totally to the foster parents and
babystealers, after all, they're falling for the same joke you are
right?  It's always the pee-on’s that get stuck with the dirty work.

> It's pretty pathetic.  What is supposed to be a support group becomes

Sounds like you're talking about Dan.  I guess you'd have to "listen"
to realize that, huh.

> I've always felt this group could serve as a wealth of information for

Maybe it's time for that.  Hell, they've tried everything else right?

That's because you're playing for the wrong team Betty.

So "most" out of several wanted to scare you away.

Why do you say the people who wanted to scare you away were from
Betty's side?

Was Betty one of them?

And "a couple" tried to steer you to me to help you with your case.

THAT sounds like Betty.

What were the "most" out of several afraid of?

What difference would that make?

BTW look at all the websites like your's, LK.

And how long they've been in existence.

I don't see any of them with a decent success rate for getting
children back to their parents.

Why after all these years haven't they figured it out?

Because they're dominated by people like grag.

> If Greg scares people away from this group it's for their own good.

Scares them away with his ridiculous comments?

Or scares them away from other people's advice?

You've "seen it happen?"

Is that like grag's "I've heard????"

Which web site's postings ended up on the desk of a judge?

Grag couldn't be a more perfect example of who NOT to listen to!!!

He advises people to do things that would cause them to never get
their children back.

He told one mother (who had custody) to do something in Court that
would have gotten her arrested!

And she wasn't even in trouble with CPS!

You haven't been around long enough to have read grag's years of
advice that plays right into the hands of CPS.

So when grag advises a parent to do something that would get them
arrested or cause them to never get their children back or lose their
children, everyone else is supposed to remain silent?

Your complaint about what I do is that I only help "one family at a
time?"

You can be sure the family's that I help don't complain.

Each and every defeat of CPS demonstrates to them and the Family Court
Judge that returns the children that someone knows how to expose the
people in CPS for what they really are.

And if I knew how to "solve the problems for the thousands going
through it at any given time," do you really think I wouldn't?

Why don't you tell me how, and I'll start right now.

What should I tell the people who get referred to me from FightCPS,
and the local people, and the people who get recommended to me from
the internet?

That I don't work with families anymore... I'm only working on the
"big picture?"

>Hell, they've tried everything else right?

Every time someone gets their CPS finding reversed, or their children
returned, it exposes the truth about CPS.

You want to educate the people?

Fine, me too.

You want the people to "cry out against the injustice as a whole?"

Is that what your blog is for?

How many children went back to their parents because of the newspaper
stories posted on your blog?

> Greg is
> at least the one person in here making an attempt to do that.

You really think grag is "exposing the truth and educating the people
so that they cry out against the injustice as a whole?"

If grag is exposing the truth, why did he go back and remove his
messages that detailed what he did to his girlfriend's seven year old
daughter that caused her to be removed by the authorities?

BTW if you don't know, grag was an unrelated adult male living with
the little girl's mother.

Reading what he did (spank the little girl, force her to take cold
showers as punishment, and be present in the bathroom every time she
got out of the shower) and didn't do (like clean up the clutter in his
girlfriend's trailer which he claims was the cause of the removal)
would be QUITE an education.

The mother lost custody for more than seven years.

Now THERE'S an injustice for the public to cry out against!!!!

Who are the "pee-ons?"

BTW IMO if CPS concentrated on the cases that needed their attention,
their workload could be reduced by 90% or more.

Usually the first reactions a family has to a CPS intervention ARE
fear, rebellion and a distraction from the goal, which is getting
their children back.

> Hell, they've tried everything else right?

No.

Everything else is what I advise them to do.

Calm down, don't show anger, do what's appropriate and necessary, and
focus on reunification.

> Disgusts me.

Betty was mistaken when she tried to resolve her family's problems
with CPS?

In your opinion she should have focused on "exposing the truth and
educating the people so that they cry out against the injustice as a
whole," rather than what CPS did to her family?
Greegor - 16 Jul 2008 17:39 GMT
In regard to Dan's story of how I advised somebody
to do something he says would get her arrested:

Dan says she was not in trouble with CPS.

So WHY then was she was appearing in front of a Judge?

And the issue was an illegally made recording
that exposed how CPS lied/perjored.

The practical reality about such a recording
presented to a court is that sometimes they
are actually allowed, and sometimes they
are disallowed.

One interesting aspect of this recording is
that it was a recording of a government agent
in the performance of their duties, and NOT
any private citizen.  I maintain that laws about
recording and privacy don't apply to PUBLIC
officials in the performance of their duties.

I highly doubt that the prosecutor would dare
prosecute a criminal charge against a citizen
for protecting themself against dishonest
caseworkers by recording them, PARTICULARLY
in a case where there actually was such dishonesty.
Do you think a JURY of US Citizens would like that?

Dan played down the value of proving that a
caseworker commmitted perjury and exaggerated
the risk of prosecution for recording.

The CPS case was against her ex-husband and she had already had
custody of the children.

What difference would it make if she WAS appearing in Court or not?

Admitting in Court that you committed a crime is NEVER a good idea, is
it, grag?

Have you not heard "You have the right to remain silent???"

Or the 5th amendment???

The right not to incriminate oneself in Court?

> And the issue was an illegally made recording
> that exposed how CPS lied/perjored.

Even if a CPS case worker lied in a telephone conversation, it's not a
CRIME is it, grag?

But recording that conversation in that state WAS a crime, wasn't it,
grag?

And advising someone to admit committing that crime in court wasn't a
good idea, was it, grag?

> The practical reality about such a recording
> presented to a court is that sometimes they

Why would the mother even mention the recording when she already had
custody of her children?

> One interesting aspect of this recording is

Is it not still a crime to make the recording?

Is there a "government agent exception" to the law?

>  I maintain that laws about

So that would be the "greg hanson exception" to that specific law...
in that state only?

Or is that for all states?

How many times has the "grag hanson exception" been successfully used
in court in the defense of the crime?

> I highly doubt that the prosecutor would dare
> prosecute a criminal charge against a citizen
> for protecting themself against dishonest
> caseworkers by recording them, PARTICULARLY
> in a case where there actually was such dishonesty.

So that would be the "greg hanson doubts I would be prosecuted for
breaking the law" defense.

How many times has that been successfully used in a criminal
trial?????

> Do you think a JURY of US Citizens would like that?

The recording wouldn't have to be played in court.

The issue is whether the illegal recording was made or not.

What was recorded, makes no difference.

> Dan played down the value of proving that a
> caseworker commmitted perjury and exaggerated
> the risk of prosecution for recording.

butthead, a CPS case worker lying in a telephone conversation isn't
perjury.

Perjury is lying in court under oath or in a sworn statement.

Again, how many times has the "greg hanson doubts I would be
prosecuted for breaking the law" defense been successfully used in a
criminal trial?????

Are you going to maintain your claim that admitting that crime in
court is a good idea, grag?

Is a Judge's eye roll, an admission of the crime on the record in
Court, an arrest and trial (probably plea bargained down to a lesser
offense) and the loss of her children worth admitting her crime?

   Does the law agree with you?
   You can maintain whatever you wish.  If the law doesn't agree, it
doesn't matter.

   If the recording was illegal, it probably wouldn't be allowed in
as evidence, even if it could prove the CW had committed perjury. The
rules of evidence holds the same for both sides.
  If the prosecutor wanted to file for making the recording, it may
be allowed in that trial, since it would prove the recording was made.

>Dan played down the value of proving that a
>caseworker commmitted perjury and exaggerated

    An illegal recording of a conversation isn't a great crime.  Your
cases of committing abuse would be seen by most as far greater.

in virtually every regard as child abusers, marked on
the Child Abuse registry, for example."

Greg hasn't claimed to have all the answers.  That's your claim.

Do you know what Dan?  I've been looking into this issue for a while
now.  Since then I've read many posts from several news groups.  Some
are frequented by experienced lawyers.  Some are frequented by foster
parents and a couple even included social workers.  And do you know
what?  You are the first person who makes the bullshit claim to "Know
the system better then the people in the system."  You are the first
person who I have ever heard of that claims to have single handedly
rescued over 40 children from the system.  Yet you can't prove a
single one. Your claims are wild and unrealistic.  sh.t, you can't
even get your own puppet bear story straight, what with the recent
development, for example, the detectives from the DA's office being
from the sex crimes unit and all.

No Dan.  What I am saying here is that if you do actually help
families, that it just isn't enough.  Great, you rescue one kid from
the system what about the other half a million stuck in there?  What
about all the people who never hear of you and your brilliant advice?
As soon as one family is helped another 100 fall victim.  It happens
on a massive scale.  There just aren't enough of you to go around.
While you're helping one family at a time Congress is getting ready to
pass a new version of the adoption and safe families act (ASFA ends
this September BTW) which will make it harder for you to do that
because it makes it even easier to adopt kids out from foster care and
provides more money for the adoptive parents, bigger adoption bonuses,
etc.  I have been encouraging people to contact their congressmen and
senators about this.  Is that the wrong thing to do?  Hell your own
Senator (Hillary) is one of the biggest advocates for it.   Have you
contacted her office?

> You can be sure the family's that I help don't complain.

About what?  Your help or the injustice dished out by the system?  I
hardly doubt that their experience with false accusations strengthens
their support for CPS and the injustice they dish out on a regular
basis.  What's your success rate?  100%?  What about the families you
couldn't help?  Or wouldn't help?  How do you pick and choose?

You'd be out of a job.

I can get you in front of thousands.  I can make you famous either way
Dan, as a system suck or as the hero you claim to be.  You're just
haven't proved that you're worth the blog space and I'm not going to
risk the quality of Legally Kidnapped in order to expose you for the
bullshit artist that you are.  You haven't written anything specific,
that I've seen anyway that would be useful.

I'd make that offer to anybody.  You got the answers?  Send them to me

See Dan, this is where your arguement fails.  Where did I say that the
one family at a time approach is unimportant?  Yes Dan, some families
need to be helped individually.  All need the system fixed as a
whole.  This is a problem with multiple levels.  Do you deny that?  Do
you really think that the problem will be solved one family at a time?

Again you fail to see the purpose of my blog.  I'd like to turn it
into something like that, but I'm not the one making the claim to have
all the answers.  I've said before that if I had all the answers I'd
post them, but you're the only one who makes that claim.

I think he's made the attempt.

Why didn't you tell us until recently that the detectives from the
DA's office were from the sex crimes unit?  Others were under the
impression that the worker brought them there with her.  Now you
change your story.

And you post that story every time someone in here comes looking for
info.  The minute Greg posts a response, you copy and paste your anti-
Greg bullshit.

Is that how you help families?

Yet she stays with him anyway.

I agree.  If everything you say about Greg is true and there was such
a concern, he should have been removed, not the child.

That was a metaphore Dan.  In the context I was refering to the foster
parents and babystealers who aren't paid all that much.  When you
compair the child protective industry to any other industry in a
capitalist society, the lowest paid members of the society are the
ones who do the dirty work while the "smart people" rake in the
profits off of their backs.  In the child protective industry the
product is children.  You have the product aquisition team, ie
babystealers, you have storage, ie foster and group homes, you have
sales, ie adoption agencies and even a liquidization team dealing with
children who aren't a quality product for the sales team, ie older or
special needs children who age out.

No.  Betty is mistaken now that her families problems are resolved to
her satisfaction.

Now that her problem with CPS is resolved, she should be screaming out
against the injustice of what she had to go through to make that
happen.  If the removal was the right thing to do and Betty was always
an adequate placement for her grandson, as I assume she was probably
from day one, she shouldn't have had to fight them to win.

There is a time and a place for everything.  I agree with you that
people who have open cases should be focused on getting the kids back,
and not be crying out against the system in the same way I am, but
only because of the way the system is set up and operates currently
where they can get f.cked for doing so.

I've come across lots of blogs with just that purpose and the problem
that I have with these is that these people tend to fill them with
personal info, they name judges and lawyers and workers, etc.
Although I have no ethical problem with that, the concern is
retaliation and the legal consiquences for doing so.  They try to use
their own stories as a means for crying out against the injustice and
are limited in knowledge to what they are going through.  They're all
over the internet I come across them all the time.  I've actually been
trying to talk a woman into deleting her myspace page because she's
crying out for help and trying to expose the workers and the lawyers
and the judge and everybody else by name.  She names them and they
know that she's been writing all of this in her little myspace blog
and THEY have told her that it's not helping her case, not to mention
they know about it and she gives away her strategy, her plans, etc. in
it.  So you're right, there is a time and a place for everything.
It's just that too many people are beaten down into the pavement
psychologically, so they don't have what it takes.

YOU don't have any solutions and certainly greg doesn't have any, so

That's one of the most stupid statements I've ever read on asCPS.

If the parents prevail in a Family Court Hearing that means CPS lost.

That means the Judge believed the family and NOT CPS!

First, Legally Kidnapped is a copy and paste web site.

Certainly NOT "original" as you seem to think.

And if there is any quality it's from the news stories and other
websites that you suck your copy from.

Being that you believe grag "tells it like it is" YOU should have HIM
be the hero of your Legally Kidnapped web site.

That's how I'm doing it.

Constitutional Bob from Pennsylvania "wrote" two laws he thought fixed
all the CPS problems in Pennsylvania.

The Family Preservation Act of 2006 and the Family Advocate Act.

They were originally referred to as the 2005 laws.

He switched the name to 2006 when he failed to submit them to the
legislature in 2005.

And then came 2007.

And then 2008.

In a few months it will be 2009.

The guy is so caught up in his own bullshit he doesn't have any idea
what he should do.

And then YOU say you "have to expose the truth and educate the people
so that they cry out against the injustice as a whole."

Well what HAVE you done and have you gotten a SINGLE child back from
CPS foster care?

AND you claim "Greg is at least the one person in here making an
attempt to do that."

So why would you NOT feature grag and his "tell it like it is"
messages on your website???

Just let me know when you have actually accomplished something, other
than your "not-so-original" website.
