The state filing is not posted as you are well aware. This is how the state operates. i thought you were aware that child services files for TPR not indefinite foster care. What exactlydo you think the state was trying to do? You can believe whatever you want the law is clear on what can and can...

The power to make a decision regarding the health care of children who they accuse parents of abusing. If they are a member of the treating team they should not also be a member of the investigating team

The question to me is when did she get better and was it treatment for somataform that made her "better". Some symptoms improve on their own and are temporary. Did it really take her sixteen months to get this little improvement? Of course if there was a real trial we would have testimony as...

In the 70s and 80s children were foster care with no clear path back or into an adoptive home. There were multiple reforms in the nineties including limits on how long the state could take to terminate parental rights. The states have twelve months to terminate with the possibility of one six...
