Richard Wexler, NCCPR Executive Director.
... In 2006, the most recent year for which
comparative data are available, Oregon took away children at a rate more than
50 percent above the national average. Oregon took children at a higher rate
than all but 15 other states.
But you can search the story in vain for anyone offering
a common sense suggestion like: Why not ease the "shortage" of
foster parents by seeing if Oregon can stop taking away so many children
needlessly? Full

"It is the duty of the citizenry to hold public officials accountable to perform what they are being paid to perform, what they have sworn to perform and what they profess to perform. And that is to conduct limited Constitutional government that recognizes the rights of the citizen before something- their children or their lands or ANYTHING- is taken from them. You would think it would be simple, wouldn't you? Well that's what the
law says and that's what should happen. But incredibly, it's been turned upside-down on its
head."-- Roger Weidner

"When child abuse
investigations are conducted by people whose main goal is to dig up dirt
on a family to assassinate their character and desire for every family to
be in 'therapy,' you end up with a mess- this mess we have right now of
incompetence and corruption."
