CPS investigates father for feeding kids organic food, & owning a Bug Out Bag

[rambone]

Here's a man's story in his own words of a visit from Child Protective Services. The CPS woman questioned him about avoiding fluoridated water, avoiding vaccines, eating organic food, and owning a 72-hour Bugout Bag.

Police were standing by in front of his house during the questioning.

CPS Investigates a man because he feeds his children Organic Food, Drinks Non-Fluoridated Water & has a Bug Out Bag! Police were standing by!

That is outrageous and extremely disturbing.

Where the heck do you find all of these links that spawns these threads, Rambone? Is there like a clearinghouse somewhere - ala Drudge Report - or are you surfing all of these blogspots?

What is disturbing is that none of the things complained about are illegal and all are completely legitimate choices for a parent to make. Hell, the Department of Homeland Security recommends a 72 hour supply of goods be kept on hand. This CPS worker needs to be investigated and sent for remedial training.

A lot of these come from things forwarded to me and things that I see posted on facebook. There are literally dozens of sources I casually follow.

Was CPS short on their quota?

The most important role of any agency whose funding comes at the barrel of a gun - justify your existence, else the mundanes get restless.

This path will not lead to a happy place.

seemed more like a buy the book instructional article than a real incident. like it you wanted to make a story to teach someone what to do. but if its real, then its F'd up. no one is walking into my house unless I invite them. notice I said walk.

My response to why I have a bug out bag would have be that I am following Government Instructions per FEMA. They recommend a minimum three day supply of food and water.

I hear ya man, but all it takes is one phone call from someone saying you are mistreating your kids and they will show up with the cops knocking on your door. Just like if my ole lady was pissed enough at me she could file a restraining order and I would instantly lose my rights to own firearms. It is a complete stampede on our rights just because somebody said something bad.

Then it just becomes a matter of what you are or aren't willing to take and submit to. and what the "count" will be. NO ONE is taking my child. Especially when I take better care of her than anyone could and give her everything including love, and she is safe. police are not gods. They dont have an open warrant to f*** people over without consequences.

I agree with you 100%, but they do it every single day and we all know it.

I guess I should've bought that hormone filled milk so my daughters can have boobs the size of water melons when their 10 instead of that organic milk. Sh*t, prolly shouldn't have added that SOG 'hawk to my BOB either.

CPS can suck it. One of my sales reps just went through a whole steaming pile of CPS bs that was completely unfounded. Sad thing is, there are kids out there who need help but these d-bags are too busy following up on leads without regard for anyone's rights or common sense.

I was investigated by CPS almost 10 years ago. The complaint, I spanked my boys and made one of them sit at the kitchen table every night for 2 hours after school to read a book or do homework. The result .... parent classes and anger management . They pulled them out of class at school, stripped them to their underwear to check for marks, and interviewed them without me knowing.

You see my son would come home after school everyday and claim he didn't have homework or that he completed it at school. His report card proved otherwise, so the kitchen table rule went into effect. The spankings were rare, but an option along with the loss of privileges.

The complaint was filed by my ex-wife after she lost in a custody battle! Amazing, today my boys are now 15 & 16, they show respect to their elders, do great in sports, and get good grades. They also know the old man can still take them .....

damn that man needs a proof-reader.

and honestly, CPS needs to get its head out of its ass. I do not fault them for investigating legitimate (if unfounded) complaints, but these are not even legitimate.

Just one more example of the government overstepping its bounds. I wonder where our breaking point is?

 

[PatriotPride]

I agree with you 100%, but they do it every single day and we all know it.

One of these days they are going to ATTEMPT to take a child from the wrong parent. Justice will be swift and just.

 

[ghostinthewood]

I do have to say, CPS kinda makes me weary. I'm 20 and I was raised "well enough" to have callous on my ass, and I figured I'd keep up the tradition. Guess I can't use chloroform and tasers like I planned.For real though, this is ridiculous.

If someone's solution is to shoot the government worker on the spot, maybe they should be looked at....and not have firearms.

I don't think CPS is doing great work, but its not as if they are coming in in the night and stealing children from their beds.

So frankly I hope that doesn't happen...it will only hurt firearms causes, and likely give agencies like CPS access to more physical force in doing what they do.
