Stories of Victims

We honor the ANNUAL MICKEY McLeod MEMORIAL DAY FOR VICTIMS OF CAS. To be held October 6th every year in memory of John Dunn’s mother who died on this day and to remember the hundreds of others who committed suicide as a result of the negative involvement from child protection agencies. Too many parents and children of care have died as a result of these practices.

Coming soon, stories of other victims of CAS. Many children and families have been destroyed in this barbaric system.

This system is NOT set up to help families, but it does instead lead to there destruction, and years of emotional turmoil for the children involved.

More heartbreaking pictures of children to come of children ripped apart by the CAS. In one case some of the children in the family were allowed to go home, while the others, for no good reason are still isolated from their family and left to languish in the CAS.

 

Posted here is a civil suit launched against the CAS. It speaks of ‘brainwashing’ children. This is a common complaint. Here’s how it works; child completely severed from parent. Child completely isolated. Child gets ‘counseling’ from CAS worker so child will believe what they say. Child to be punished, and severed more from parent if they do not comply or agree with what worker is telling them.

There is a worker always listening on the phone to monitor what is said between parent and child. The child is instructed not to tell parents certain things, such as how they are being treated in the group home.

In my case Kelly DeWolfe put in her notes that child “C” should have a talking to so that he can come to an understand of what CAS is alleging even though child "C" did not agree with them. Kelly DeWolfe has repeatedly lied to child “C”. Child “C” is not allowed to find out the truth as a worker is listening on the phone and will cut off contact. Child is only able to listen to them. Child is afraid to speak out as they will be punished. Over time and with the complete severing of any contact or relationship with the parent the child may come to believe the lies that he or she is being told.

Example; Kelly DeWolfe told child “C” that I could not talk to him for over 2 months “incase I gave him false information.” Fact I could not talk to child “C” for two months because Kelly DeWolfe gave the court false information. She told the court that I told “C” that child “T” was dead and missing. This was proven false by the taped conversation of the alleged incident. Further, Kelly and Kaveh Khannverdi told the court false information that I was “watching the group home.” This proved false from a police report. The CAS lies to the children.

Further; Kelly DeWolfe told child “C” that I could not see him as I had threatened her. Fact the visit was over and the police called because I confronted her over the above false allegations to the court. The CAS lied to the child again.

Kelly DeWolfe told child “C” that he could not see me until I saw a doctor on a regular basis. Fact I saw three psychiatrist who disagreed with the CAS allegations. Non of those doctors wanted to see me again. Fact at the time the CAS was telling “C” this they had canceled and prevented me from going for another psychiatric assessment that would have ended this. CAS was to leave child “C” blaming me for this delay as they actually prevented this from proceeding.

This is a big problem in the CAS and in the emotional abuse of the children.

By the time the child is able to leave the CAS there is such a breakdown in family relations that the child no longer has any sense of family or belonging to a family. So often the child is left confused and angry and the parent has been so vilified that it is sometimes impossible to rebuild the relationship and the parent to take a parental roll. Very often, after the child is release from the CAS the child is into alcohol and drug use, this to compensate for their low self esteem, confusion and sense of not belonging anywhere. There are very comprehensive reports of the destruction to children and families do to this system of tearing down families instead of building them up.

I know they have the video tapes they took of me when I was first taken and what they "brainwashed me into saying about my parents.. in a big room with lots of toys and a black glass mirror with a camera behind it...(except I didn't get adopted out... I was shipped to a cattle farm with other rejects where we were left to kill each other and get each other hooked on drugs and run away. I don't even remember how many differant schools I was in but when my grades went low they blamed it on me and punished me for it.) I never seen who was on the otherside of that glass.

I was not abused in my home with my parents period end of story!. Childwelfare Alberta says they don't know who would have them and have never got back to me. But I have the reports when my son spit on me and called me a "bad daddy" and then said his foster parent Ian Whitecross had told him that!. It's documented in the court pappers and transcripts from my "Family" court hanging...

I am a computer guy not a law guy I could use some suggestions on how to go about getting the tapes... and how to file... I don't trust lawyers.... or judges.

Study Finds Foster Care May Foster Lifelong Ills

By Michelle Roberts

7 Apr 2005

Summary: Adults who had been children in foster care later suffer post-traumatic stress disorder twice as often as U.S. war veterans

Former foster children in Oregon and Washington are twice as likely to be depressed or suffer from anxiety as the general population, according to study released Wednesday.

The study, by Casey Family Programs and Harvard Medical School, also found that they struggle with education, employment and money once they leave the foster system at age 18.

A third of former foster children live at or below the poverty line, three times the national poverty rate. More than one in five foster care alumni was homeless sometime during the year after leaving foster care. All but 2 percent fail to complete college.

About 220 teens "age out" of Oregon's foster-care system each year. Most of them, the study found, are not ready to be on their own.

"We are alarmed that in too many cases, these young adults aren't doing as well as we anticipated," said Ruth Massinga, president and CEO of Seattle-based Casey Family Programs. "Many leave the system without any lasting personal connections, support or life skills."

Only about 20 percent of adults formerly in foster-care placement through either private or public agencies were found to be doing well, the study said.

Researchers from Harvard Medical School, the University of Michigan and Casey Family Programs reviewed case files of 659 adults, ages 20 to 33, who had lived in foster care between 1988 and 1998. They interviewed 479 of them. It is the first significant study of how former foster children fare over a long period of time.

Most of those studied entered foster care because they had been abused or neglected. More than half reported clinical levels of mental illness, compared with less than a quarter of the general population. Foster children, the study said, are especially vulnerable to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Peter Pecora, director of research for Casey Family Programs, said a fourth of those studied reported symptoms of the disorder -- twice the rate of U.S. war veterans.

"It is a dramatic finding," he said, adding that national studies show that 12 percent to 13 percent of Iraq war veterans and 15 percent of Vietnam war veterans suffer from the disorder.

Post-traumatic stress disorder occurs in some people who experience or witness life-threatening events, such as violent personal assaults, military combat or serious accidents. They often relive the trauma through nightmares and flashbacks, and feel detached or estranged.

Foster children are traumatized by living with abusive or neglectful parents, by being removed from their homes, and by being moved repeatedly while in foster care, the study said.

"The very act of removal from their parents is often traumatic," researchers wrote, "potentially resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder and creating a sense of hypervigilance because their lives become unpredictable."

Nearly 14 percent of children in Oregon's foster care system experience three or more changes in foster placements as they grow up, according to the Department of Human Services. Some counties have placement instability rates of 20 percent and higher, despite a national standard of 13 percent or less.

Brian Gardner, 17, has been in Oregon's foster care system since he was 3 and has experienced "at least a dozen different moves."

Gardner, who recently moved into his own state-subsidized apartment in Portland, said the fear and reality of so many moves have made it difficult for him to bond with others.

The constant moving "was more difficult than anything I experienced with my birth mother," he said, adding that he was placed in foster care because his drug-addicted mother neglected him. Gardner said one move from a foster family he'd lived with for six years "almost made me lose my mind. It was like my whole life had crumbled. I still suffer the effects of that today."

Researchers looked for ways to improve outcomes for foster children. They created statistical simulations that found, for example, that increasing Medicaid mental health coverage and giving foster kids more stability by not moving them so much would reduce their chances of mental illness later in life.

The study identified several areas in which the states can improve, including reducing the number of times a child moves before being placed in a permanent home, and encouraging children to connect with foster parents and other adults in lifelong relationships. The study mirrors others that show that the resiliency of children can often hinge on one meaningful relationship with a caring adult.

Kevin George, the Oregon foster care program manager for Human Services, said the agency, which participated in the study, will take the findings to heart.

"This really validates many things that many of us had speculated," George said. "We will use it as a guide to where we're going to put our time, energy and resources."

Nationally, about 800,000 children a year enter foster care because of abuse or neglect in their homes. On a given day, Oregon supervises as many as 7,800 children in homes away from their parents. And, for the first time in years, more children are entering foster homes than leaving them.

The study focused on Oregon and Washington because they are home to some of the longest-running Casey Family Programs foster homes in the nation, and both states have large child welfare organizations.
