79. Not surprised at this "miraculous" decision
...because the shock and outrage at what happened to this woman is their fear you will see that what happened to this woman is common practice and done all the time to little kids and their families.

Whenever the public sees a thin ray of light penetrating what is really going on in family court, then suddenly the courts see the light. It happened here in my state with a case about a little girl we call "Poco". They had yanked the child from the grandparents after the mother had "voluntarily" (yeah right) terminated her rights so her parents could adopt her daughter. When the Press got hold of the story and it got a lot of airplay well ...suddenly the courts "saw the light" and the kid is returned to the only home she knew. This is also commonly done where they park a kid at a relative's home until the State legally "owns" the child and then they find some "abuse" that they never have to back up in family court.

They pretend that cases should be held in secret to "protect the child" when in fact if the cases get out of family court and into regular court such as with this woman and Poco's, they publically tell the whole story and God forbid if you saw the details of hundreds of any other cases! This secret court is in reality *not* to protect the child but to protect themselves. Because then public court becomes, well ...public ...and everyone will know what is going on, anyone can read the details of the case online if they want. They (family court and CPS) depend on their work being done in the dark with nobody watching so you will never know how unconstitutional their practices truly are.

They do not want anyone to notice that they are railroading kids from their families in order to collect Title IV money where the more kids they take, the more money they make and if they return the kid home they lose that money and the next funding cycle's money too. A case like this mother's who is gathering steam so that the public begins to see what is really going on with CPS and family courts and their rubber stamp CASAs, this is worth giving up the $8-10,000 a month they had been receiving and the $50-100,000 they would get for adopting the child out ~ in addition to the adoption bonuses a case worker will get for this child if they are successful.

This is money no family member or the child would ever see, but you can bet your bottom dollar the judge, case managers, CASAs and their consultants will be lining up for their paychecks because they have no fear that they will even be held accountable.

Most of the time they ARE successful at taking these kids and adopting them out ~ just as long as you do not know how they do it or more importantly WHY they do it... (hint: it is not done to protect children).

My 2 cents
