Protect Your Baby’s Brain

blue-angel full size

As a parent your number one priority is the health of your child.

As a government organization the CDCs number one priority is to maintain their vaccine schedule – at all costs. You could call this self preservation. Their careers, income, reputation and much more are at stake. To them, the lives of a few children, or the robust health of many children are not as important as maintaining their point of view, their reputation, their existence as a government organization.

These two priorities conflict. Parents desperately need the facts.

When thinking about the health of your child, the most important thing you need to consider is how best to protect your baby’s developing brain. Our world is full of toxic assaults, so we need to be as wise as possible in reducing potential harm to our children’s brains. When thinking about vaccines, your primary question should be, ‘What are the ingredients in this, and how can they impact my baby’s brain?’

I am trying to say this in a loving gentle way, as if each one of you were one of my adult children.

Many parents and grandparents ask questions along the lines of “If you had to choose just the ‘good’ vaccines which ones would you choose?” or “If I’m going to delay and just selectively give ‘some’ vaccines, which ones are really important to give?”

My question to you, is, if the mechanism of the function of vaccines is flawed, is it not flawed across the board? If the basic understanding of the immune system is flawed, if our understanding of how injecting neurotoxins and other harmful chemicals into an infant’s system is flawed, then would there be one vaccine that might be the exception?

Car Seat 2It’s like you are saying, mostly I reject ‘hocus pocus potions,’ but in the case of a couple of big bad diseases, I am sooooo terrified of them that I need to use a hocus pocus potion just for those.

Since pharmaceutical companies have no (zero, nada, nothing) liability for their vaccines, they have no incentive for improving safety and efficacy. The safety studies required for vaccines is significantly less than what is required for pharmaceutical drugs – and we all know at least some of the horror stories of drugs that were approved for use, but later recalled for the harm, or death, they caused. We have all heard of at least one of the many lawsuits and cases brought against pharmaceutical companies for one reason or another. Most of them have paid incredibly large fines for admissions of guilt. All these facts combined, yet we still trust these companies? We still support their products and believe they are only going to provide what is good for our precious babies?

When we decide to give our child a ‘delayed’ or ‘selective’ vaccine schedule, is it because, in this case, in this one instance for this one disease, I’m sure they’ve made a good product; I am sure that this vaccine I am choosing to voluntarily inject in my baby or child will safely deliver the protection I desperately seek?

Please examine the logic in this. Here are some searching questions:

  • Is this a response of overwhelming fear that has hit me as a result of the media hype, or my social circle hype? Any action prompted by fear should be carefully examined.
  • Am I basing my decision on facts and available evidence?
  • Do I understand exactly how the immune system develops? (see Dr Suzanne Humphries brilliant lectures which thoroughly examine the science of the infant’s immune development.)
  • Have I read the latest science that shows the amazing link between the gut and the brain, microorganisms and health, etc.?
  • Have I fully read every package insert for all the shots I am considering? Have I concluded that the potential benefit outweighs the risk, or am I merely going on the advice of my ‘very nice doctor‘, or a ‘very pushy’ family member?
  • Do I know all the ingredients in the shot that I am considering for my child?
  • Have I researched these ingredients and the impact they could have especially on my baby’s brain?
  • If my child were to develop the illness I fear, is there a safe, effective, non harmful treatment option?

Dr Nils Bergman, pioneer of Kangaroo Mother Care, emphasizes that the most important role of parents is to protect the brain of their baby. The parent alone is the primary steward of the infant/child brain. Your number one job is to protect your baby’s brain from all outside attack. Pregnant women spend nine months carefully protecting their unborn baby from all types of potential harm. Wise parents don’t allow a stranger to hold their baby. Someone without experience of a brand new baby often doesn’t understand the important of supporting an infant’s head and neck. That’s why we are so careful. We carefully monitor when our older children want to hold the new baby. Also, a parent would never knowingly allow anything into the mount of their baby that could harm the brain.

Parents spend hours researching car seats because they want to make sure baby’s brain will be protected in the event of a crash. Parents insist their children wear bike helmets to protect their brain while biking!

In the same way, make sure you have done a thorough job of understanding the impact of every single vaccine you think about injecting into your baby. Think especially about the impact it could have on your baby’s brain.

Is Vaccine Injury Real? A True Story

Lora's 3 Boys

This is an absolutely beautiful photo taken by a photographer mom. I was so traumatized after reading her story of vaccine injury, but THRILLED to learn of how she has learned the truth, recognized the damage the vaccines caused to her older boys, and chosen to keep her new precious son healthy without injecting him with toxins! This is a warrior momma sharing truth learned the hard way! She gave me permission to share her story in the hope that others would avoid all the trials she has gone through. Learning from experience is a good teacher, but learning from the mistakes of others – so that we can avoid those mistakes – is the best teacher.

These are my three sons, two suffered damage after being vaccinated for YEARS according to the current CDC schedule and their pediatrician’s recommendations. My eldest has experienced numerous tics* and G.I. issues. My second son, I had to stop breastfeeding at 4 months due to his serious digestive issues, so sad. He was born in December and was fully vaccinated and sick for almost a year straight. He ended up contracting whooping cough even though he was vaccinated against it…….hmmmm……vaccine failure much? He also contracted measles, but his pediatrician would not even CONSIDER he had the measles because he was vaccinated against it — this medical response is dangerous! and pure laziness! We have been working on the gut issues with diet; eating more organic, non-GMO, less pesticides and additives, less milk and more fluoride free water. Our youngest (the baby pictured above) was born peacefully at home this month, delivered by my husband and is EBF, and NO, he has not had the Hep B vaccine AND we have actually lost very close family members because of the medical decisions we are making for OUR children. It’s very sad, but we need to protect our children and keep them healthy.

When you know better you do better……..it’s not easy, but it is WORTH IT.

*Transient tic disorder…Transient tic disorder is a temporary condition in which a person makes one or many brief, repeated, movements or noises (tics). These movements or noises are involuntary (not on purpose)…….the first tic to present itself was the RAPID EYE BLINKING, this was called “normal” by his pediatrician. He said, ‘Boys are more susceptible than girls, he will most likely outgrow it,’  bla, bla, bla…….It may be the “NEW NORMAL” but it is NOT normal and it’s NOT okay! He is turning 11 this year and he STILL has not outgrown them! We thought he had Tourette’s syndrome at one point, it BREAKS MY HEART.

 

Please do your own independent research before agreeing to any medical procedure. Your baby is too precious to experiment with. These might provide more information:

Some Babies WILL Die

Angel BabyIt is an acknowledged fact.

Some healthy babies will die as a result of receiving vaccines.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) will even pay out up to $250,000 per infant death by vaccine.[1]

Every baby subjected to the CDC recommended vaccine schedule – actually any baby subjected to even just one dose of one vaccine – has the potential of death as one of the outcomes. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) created the VICP, a fund based on a contribution of 75 cents from every vaccine sold, that will compensate families in the USA if they can prove that their baby’s death resulted from the vaccines.[2] So everyone who participates in the vaccine program, pays a ‘vaccine tax’ towards the inevitable injuries that WILL happen.

Vaccine injury happens.        How often?

No one really knows. Deaths related to vaccines are often denied by doctors, although some do admit vaccines as the cause. Sometimes there is an autopsy, but coroners are encouraged not to find evidence of vaccine involvement in the sudden unexplained death of a previously healthy infant in close proximity to receiving the standard recommended vaccines.[3]

While deaths have been compensated by the VICP, the medical establishment in general is taught that vaccine reactions are ‘very very rare.’ They are trained to view the reactions following a vaccine as some strange phenomenon – but probably in no way related to the vaccines the healthy baby was given. Thus most parents do not file a claim with the VICP after the death of their baby, but 1,164 claims for death and 14,874 claims for injury from vaccines have been filed.[4]

The process of receiving the $250,000 payout for a death from the fund is complex and challenging.[5] Parents who are struggling to come to terms with the sudden unexplained death of their otherwise healthy infant, with a strange correlation to the time of their shots, often do not possess the physical and emotional strength necessary to complete the cumbersome application process and a $400 payment is required up front, just to submit a claim.

Russian RoulletteSo the numbers don’t really reflect the reality.

The truth is, every vaccine given is somewhat like a game of Russian roulette. However, it is slightly different. In Russian roulette some of the barrels hold blanks. In the vaccine game, every shot holds poison. The only question is what will this dose of poison do to this baby?[6]

Leviticus 19:16 is clear,

“Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the Lord.”

I cannot stand idly by while vaccines are killing and harming babies. We must speak out for those who cannot speak and those who do not understand the harm inflicted by vaccines, especially the many shots recommended for babies today.

12Author: Becky Hastings, wife, mother, grandmother, passionate seeker of Jesus, truth and health. I pray that every family who has been a victim of vaccine injury and death will find hope and healing through Jesus Christ, our true hope. I further pray that all parents and doctors will wake up to the harm that vaccines have caused to far too many and that they will seek the TRUTH above all.

More on CPS visits

Front DoorI compiled information on how to handle a visit from CPS earlier. Here is another view with supporting information on how to be prepared in case you experience a visit from CPS. Expect the best, be prepared for the worst, like Jesus said, be as wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16). 

“I hope no one ever has to go through this, but here is some advice by someone who has experience in a crooked perverse system. I believe there are some truly good and fair people involved in CPS. Unfortunately there is more evil in the world (and our country) than we could imagine. The following information was shared by a licensed foster parent in WA state. This case is scary, but sadly, happens all the time. We have trained our own bio kids in the following steps just as we adults are well aware of them. Hopefully these will help readers here:
Ten Things You Must Do if CPS Knocks at Your Door
1) TAKE THE ACCUSATION SERIOUSLY.
Parents are routinely accused of ridiculous things: trying to sell their children to relatives for drug money; molesting a child in the living room during a family party; beating a child with a baseball bat – without leaving bruises. Yes, those were real calls to CPS – all taken as true by investigators. I don’ t care how absurd or unbelievable the case worker sounds. Understand that SHE is serious, and likely presumes – no, likely “KNOWS” that you are guilty as accused. Even if she doesn’t flat-out say that she’ s there to take the children, she is quite possibly intent on doing just that. In testimony to Congress, Chris Klicka, senior counsel for the Home School Legal Defense Association, stated that a case worker with 30 years’ experience once confided in him that “When I started working, we tried to prove the family was innocent. Now we assume they are guilty until they prove they are not.”
2) ASK WHAT THE CHARGES ARE.
Most of the time, the case worker wants to keep you in the dark as to what you have been accused of. despite being required by federal and state law to tell you details of the accusation at her first contact with you. Don’t settle for the answer of “abuse” or “neglect.” Those are categories, not details. You are entitled to know what specific actions you are accused of committing.
3) SHUT UP. SHUT UP NOW.
It is imperative that you not submit to a CPS interrogation before talking to your attorney. It is natural that innocent parents who have nothing to hide want to explain everything so that a reasonable person can see that there’s no problem here. But CPS agents are not reasonable. To them, the accusation IS the evidence against you. That case worker is there to find evidence to support what she already believes to be true – that you abused your child.
If you say nothing to them, you have taken away their greatest weapon, which is their ability to twist your words. Let me give you some examples of what was done to parents who did talk to them:
The husband of a client of mine had been accused of sexually molesting their autistic, non-verbal daughter. The CPS investigator asked the mother if her daughter had exhibited any unusual behavior lately. The only thing she could think of was that a couple of times the month before, the girl had wanted her mother to come lay down with her for a few minutes. Usually, she would just go in by herself and go right to sleep. The investigator stated to the court that the mother admitted her child had become afraid of her own bedroom.
One father I defended told the case worker that he had disciplined his daughter over a 20 minute period, where he would talk to her about what she had done wrong, swat her a few times, and then talk some more. The investigator stated to the court that the father admitted to beating his child non-stop for 20 minutes.
4) FIND AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS EXPERIENCE FIGHTING CPS.
When? As soon as you realize your family is being investigated. The sooner an experienced attorney enters the picture, the sooner he or she can put a stop to abusive CPS tactics. Please note that I said experience in FIGHTING CPS. Many attorneys – if not most – believe their role is to find out what CPS wants and make sure their clients do it. That way often leads to disaster – and the loss of your children.
5) BE POLITE.
Hostility toward the investigator is considered evidence of guilt. Your perfectly natural angry reaction to being accused of harming your child will be used as evidence of an abusive personality. This is where an attorney can be a valuable asset. He or she can stand up to the bully on your behalf.
6) NEVER LET THEM IN YOUR HOME.
Under no circumstances should you let any government agent in your home unless he or she has a court order. Ask to see the warrant or order, because the CPS worker may lie and say she has one when she doesn’t. When she doesn’t have one, politely but firmly tell her that she will have to stay outside until she gets one. If she claims it’s an emergency, make her tell you what it is. Call her bluff – if it were a true emergency, she would not be asking – she’d be there with armed police officers, forcing her way in. Do not even open the door to let her look at the children.
There is no compromise on this. There are no exceptions. If you invite a case worker into your home, you have waived your fourth amendment protection. And if the case worker is intent on taking your children, SHE WILL FIND SOMETHING IN YOUR HOME TO JUSTIFY IT. THAT IS A GUARANTEE.
Understand that you may be threatened. You may be lied to. She may tell you that the 4 th amendment doesn’ t apply to caseworkers. That is a lie. She may tell you that she doesn’ t need a warrant. That is a lie. She may tell you that she’ll return with armed police officers. And she very well may. But that changes nothing. Even a man with a gun on your porch doesn’t change the fact that she has no right to enter your home.
Listen to the words of an ex-CPS investigator:
“I wish I could shout from the highest mountain to parents to vigilantly learn their rights! If they knew what their legal rights were there would be significantly lower numbers of child removals. Social workers, unlike policemen making an arrest, are not required to inform the parents of their legal rights. All we had to do to remove a child was to show up at the home and tell the parents we came to remove the kids. Often times we would take a police officer with us (never telling the parents he was there for MY protection, not to enforce an order or warrant). 99% of the time we never had to get a warrant or court order to remove kids because the parents would be so intimidated by the officer that they would just hand their kids over and show up for court the next day. But if they had legally known their parental rights, they could simply have told me that I could not take the children unless I had a court order signed by the judge or had a warrant to remove the kids. … the majority of times parents were just intimidated and gave consent for the whole process to begin; completely unknowing of what rights they just waived.”
If officers do force their way in, do not physically resist. Make your objections clear, but stand aside. There’s no point in getting arrested, or risking injury or death. Your children need you fighting for them, and you can’t do that from a jail cell or hospital. Demand that you not be separated from your children, and that your children be interrogated only with your attorney present. (This demand will likely be ignored, but demand it anyway. The fact that they ignored you may become important in later court proceedings.)
7) RECORD EVERYTHING.
Demand that CPS tape any interrogation of your child. They are required by Texas law to do so. Bring your own recorder in case the CPS agent “loses” hers.
Tape record every conversation you have with a CPS worker – but do it secretly. Nothing in my experience enrages a CPS worker – leading to rash action – faster than finding out she’s being recorded. So don’t tell her. In Texas, it’s perfectly legal to secretly record any conversation that you are a part of.
8) HAVE A DOCTOR EXAMINE YOUR CHILD.
If the accusation is one of physical abuse, have YOUR OWN doctor give your child a thorough physical exam. Ask him to write a letter stating that no bruises, marks, or health concerns were found on the child that would create suspicion of child abuse or neglect. Go to a doctor you trust. Never never never go to a doctor recommended by CPS.
9) GET FRIENDS AND FAMILY INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT.
Gather names of friends and relatives who are willing and able to care for your children if CPS takes them. They are required by law to place with family or friends before considering a foster care child warehouse, but will often ignore that law if you let them. Don’t let them. If your children must spend time away from you, it’s far better that they do so with people you know and trust than in an abusive foster facility.
Also, get your friends, family, co-workers, pastor – anyone who has seen you parenting your child – to write a letter on your behalf, stating what a good parent you are. CPS investigators are required to take such information into consideration, and it’s much harder for them to illegally snatch your child without cause when they know a crowd is watching them.
10) NEVER ADMIT GUILT.
Never, ever admit to anything. Even if CPS has taken your children and offers to give them back if you do (they won’t), it would be immoral to do so if you truly haven’t done anything. Even if you did make a momentary mistake, admitting so may be a quick way to jail and to lose your kids forever.
CPS agents are not above lying to you to prove you guilty of something, so don’t trust what they say. They won’t understand. They won’t give you a break. They will use anything you say against you, and even make stuff up. Don’t make it easy on them.”

California Vaccine Mandates #SB277

SB27710 VACCINES SB277 WOULD REQUIRE:

1. Diphtheria – primarily a problem in overcrowded areas with poor sanitation. There was 1 case in the U.S in 2014. Vaccine possible side effects include seizures.http://www.cdc.gov/vacci…/vpd-vac/diphtheria/fs-parents.html
2. Hep B – primarily a sexually transmitted disease which is also spread through sharing of needles. Currently, children diagnosed with active hepatitis B are allowed to attend school, because they are not considered a risk to others, yet a child who does not have the disease will not be allowed to attend school without the vaccine.
http://www.pkids.org/files/11-01civilrights.pdf
3. HiB – Haemophulis Influenzae B. “Children over five years old and adults usually do not need Hib vaccine. But it may be recommended for older children or adults with asplenia (no spleen) or sickle-cell disease, before surgery to remove the spleen, or following a bone marrow transplant. It may also be recommended for people 5 to 18 years old with HIV. “ according to http://www.vaccines.gov/diseases/hib/
4,5,6. Measles, Mumps, Rubella – the vaccine commonly given in one shot is called the MMR. Side effects “may include high fever that could cause a seizure” according to http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/measles/fs-parents.html. According to the vaccine insert possible side effects include “Encephalitis; encephalopathy; measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE) (see CONTRAINDICATIONS); subacute sclerosing pan encephalitis (SSPE); Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM); transverse myelitis; febrile convulsions; afebrile convulsions or seizures; ataxia; polyneuritis; polyneuropathy; ocular palsies; paresthesia.”, “Nerve deafness; otitis media” and many more. http://www.merck.com/…/…/pi_circulars/m/mmr_ii/mmr_ii_pi.pdf
7. Pertussis – much controversy about this one but there does seem to be consensus about two things, the vaccine wears off quickly and “Even vaccinated people may still be carriers and spread whooping-cough without realizing it.” http://www.webmd.com/…/whooping-cough-rising-despite-new-va…
8. Poliomyelitis – according to CDC’s information, the polio vaccine, like any medicine, could cause serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction or even death.” http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm#polio. The “IPV induces very low levels of immunity in the intestine. As a result, when a person immunized with IPV is infected with wild poliovirus, the virus can still multiply inside the intestines and be shed in the faeces, risking continued circulation.” – See more at: http://www.polioeradication.org/…/Inactivatedpoliovaccine(I…
9. Tetanus – completely non transferable and vaccine carries the risk of seizures
10. Varicella – The vaccine targeting chicken pox, once a common childhood illness. Death rates from the disease were on decline prior to the introduction of the vaccine due to improved sanitation, nutrition and medical treatment. According to CDC “Some people who are vaccinated against chickenpox may still get the disease” http://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/vaccination.html They go on to list some possible side effects: “Moderate problems
• Seizure (jerking or staring) caused by fever (very rare).
Severe problems
• Pneumonia (very rare)
Other serious problems, including severe brain reactions and low blood count, have been reported after chickenpox vaccination. “

In addition to those 10 vaccines, #SB277 makes an eleventh provision:

11.  “Any other disease deemed appropriate by the department, taking into consideration the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.”

So we now all know that seizures are a moderate reaction to vaccines and the risk of death does exist with vaccines. We know that no vaccine is 100% effective, and therefore a vaccinated child can also obtain a disease and pass it on to others, sometimes asymptomatically from the vaccine itself.

Knowing all this and more how can we possibly think there is enough added protection from mandating the current vaccines to strip parents’ rights and force a product that has the potential for harm?

How many shots?

49 shots by age 2

 

This is the average child’s vaccine record. Luca’s mom shared this “immunization record” of all the shots her precious baby received from birth to 24 months. She trusted her doctor and the US Medical system 100%. She grew up in Eastern Europe and many of her dreams came true when she arrived as an adult in the USA. She never suspected that maybe the U.S. vaccine recommendations could actually harm her child.

Here is another way of looking at those vaccines:

How Many Shots

Born on 5 January 2010 baby Luca got his Hepatitis B shot in the hospital as standard procedure. No one ever asked or explained the risk or benefits of either Hepatitis or the Hep B injection.

At two months of age his mom dutifully took him back to the doctor where he received another Hepatitis B, DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), HIB (Haemophilus influenza B) and IPV (polio); three needles and one oral dose for a total of six vaccine antigens. Luca’s mom said she hated the fact that Luca had to have shots. She couldn’t even hold him while they injected him, it was too traumatic for her. She cried at every doctor’s visit. But she continued to trust the doctor.

All those vaccines can take a toll on a two month old infant’s immune system. Of course the infant’s body must also deal with all the other vaccine ingredients like formaldehyde, aluminum, foreign protein cells, etc.

Warning TylenolHow could a two month old baby tell you if something about that combination wasn’t quite right for his body? He would cry of course, that is the only way a two month old baby can communicate – or he could possible go lethargic. But if baby cries – even inconsolably for hours – parents often call their doctor’s office and are told such crying is normal and to give Tylenol so baby will feel better. Many babies cry and are extremely fussy for days or weeks after vaccines. Some otherwise completely healthy babies, so overloaded by the toxins, simply don’t wake up. Their deaths are often labeled as SIDS.

Luca’s mom grew up in the politically volatile country of Serbia. She wanted a better life for her children. She had absolute trust in the U.S. because of such a stable government. She was extremely compliant with her doctor’s recommendations. She not only brought Luca for the 2, 4, and 6 month old vaccine visits, she also brought Luca in for the Pneumococcal vaccine at 3 months AND 5 months.

Luca’s next big round of vaccine assault was at four months: another DTaP, another HIB, and another IPV. Again, moms are told to expect crying and fussiness – after all, baby just had his shots. Sometimes moms, in anticipation of the normal reaction to vaccines (crying, miserable baby) give Tylenol BEFORE going to the doctor, trying to offset the reaction in advance. Luca’s mom  felt ‘lucky’ because Luca didn’t have really bad reactions after receiving his shots; he just got quiet.

At six months Luca again received shots: Pentacel which is a ‘5 in one’ vaccine containing: DTaP, IPV, and HIB. With Pentacel baby only gets one needle so it seems to be less traumatic – from the onlooker’s point of view. Mom is still not comfortable with shots, but continues to have faith in the medical system and her doctor.

At ten months Luca got his third dose of Hepatitis B. The CDC recommends giving the third dose between 6 – 18 months. I don’t know exactly why baby Luca had another appointment for just one shot at 10 months. Perhaps his mom took him to visit the doctor for some other reason and when they saw he was due for his last Hepatitis B series, they gave it to him despite his illness. Many moms think giving a vaccine to a sick child is an extremely bad idea, but doctors just take it in stride. A cold or other illness is no reason for them to avoid administering a vaccine. They know that if they miss the opportunity to give a vaccine when baby is in their office, mom may not bring him back when he is well.

Baby Luca had been injected in the hospital at birth, and was back to his doctor for more shots at two, three, four, five, six, ten, twelve, fifteen, eighteen and twenty-four months. That is a lot of traumatic doctor’s visits by a very dutiful mom. Of course, there is a significant financial implication to all those office visits. It costs the parents money and brings financial benefits to the doctor.

Luca Bugarin Christmas 2011 Luca Bugarin after shotsWhile this seems like an incredible number of toxic shots to inject into a baby, the CDC actually recommends that babies get EVEN MORE. Baby Luca did not get the Rotavirus series of vaccines because for some unknown reason, his doctor did not suggest it was needed. He also did not get any flu vaccines because his mom declined those.

Notice Luca’s eyes in these two photographs. The first was taken at eleven months – before he received the MMRV. The picture on the right was taken ten days after receiving the MMRV. Notice his eyes. There is a distinct droop which is evidence of the micro ‘strokes’ caused by the vaccines.

SH Aluminum in shotsMany times a baby’s body reacts to the cumulative impact of all the ingredients in the vaccines over time. The known neurotoxins, especially aluminum, impair brain function. Luca had received a lot of aluminum in all of those shots.

Here is a list of all the ingredients, provided by the CDC, that the vaccines injected into baby Luca contained. Remember that he was injected with multiple doses of many of the vaccines.

Vaccine Ingredients LucaThe latest scientific information gleaned on the development of the immune system continues to shed light on how amazing it is. Anyone wanting to understand how to keep a baby healthy needs to understand the neonatal immune system development. Many of the facts of the immune system, especially the gut/brain/immune system connection coming to light, turn the foundation of vaccine science on its head.[1]

Dr Suzanne Humprhies describes the natural state of the infant’s body as “anti-inflammatory”. This anti-inflammatory state is purposeful. An infant is not born deficit of vaccines. The complex mechanisms of the immune system gradually identify foreign substances and ‘learn’ to mount an appropriate response, but it takes time. Injecting and bombarding infants with intramuscular injections of inflammatory substances contained in vaccines, causes the infant to mount an inappropriate inflammatory condition – often with detrimental long-term impact. Many people suggest that we need “safe” vaccines. However, aluminum and other harmful additions to vaccines are done purposefully – called adjuvants – in an attempt to “wake up” or cause a more inflammatory reaction in the infant.

As a parent, Luca’s mom wanted the absolute best for her baby. She trusted that her doctor also wanted the best for her baby. She assumed that the CDC recommendations were in the best interests of HER baby. Regretfully she saw her son regress. She saw him having neurological challenges which forced her to begin to look into the science and ingredients in vaccines.

Luca experienced sensory processing challenges, muscle tone weakness, and ADD symptoms. His mom learned that the vaccines contain ingredients that can harm the developing brain and she saw her son struggling every single day with obvious vaccine injury. She began incurring huge expense in occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, nutritional therapy and other therapies to help Luca detox and heal from his vaccine injuries. He has made progress, but his mom lives daily with the guilt any parent feels when they realize they have unknowingly contributed to severely harming their baby. Luca’s mom also feels betrayed by a system built on a false foundation of vaccine safety. She is also angry because she trusted doctors and government agencies who perversely refuse to admit the harm daily experienced by thousands, if not millions of children. Anger of that level can be very challenging to deal with. She also experiences emotional and physical exhaustion in seeking to understand the harm Luca’s body was subjected to and find solutions that will benefit him.

How does Luca’s mom know vaccines harmed her baby?

She has had the opportunity of having another baby who is completely vaccine free. At every stage of development the difference in the babies progress is overwhelmingly obvious. Luca’s mom rejoices in the blessing of her new precious baby, but every day is a reminder that her first baby was deprived of a natural normal healthy development.

Luca’s mom has decided she wants to use her anger and betrayal as a stimulus to educate and inform other parents. At first, she was eager to save every single child from vaccine harm. She is actively involved in encouraging and educating parents on the reality of vaccine injury.

My Dear Friend – it’s about vaccines

Baby napI sent this letter to a friend after she told me she would be taking her 8-week-old baby for his doctor’s visit in two days time. My first thought was about the vaccines they would want to give. I was able to pray for her just before her baby was born after sharing some information on the critical role of a woman’s brain function during labor. She decided to decline the epidural and managed to deliver her 9 lb 7 oz (4.28 kg) baby in less than 5 hours completely naturally!! She is very tiny herself, so was still deservedly thrilled and feeling empowered 8 weeks later. She thanked me profusely for our chat before her labor and felt it was providential. Me too. 😉

I decided I could not stay silent on the topic of vaccines and needed to share my concerns with her, trying my best not to be overbearing or offensive. This is what I sent to her, and  Her response to my bold letter is at the end.

Dear friend,

I’m so glad you shared your birth story with me. It encouraged me a lot. I wish every woman could have a similarly positive birth experience. Unfortunately, in my experience it seems far too rare. I would love to be a champion of natural births and would appreciate any opportunity to pray with other pregnant moms.

I’m also passionate about healthy babies and I’ve been researching routine medical procedures for babies for about 33 years. I’ve watched the number of vaccines recommended for babies jump from around 3 when I was a kid to over 30 shots now recommended for ALL babies by 18 months, 49 by preschool, and a total of 69 doses by the time they are 18 years.

This is crazy and could be causing a lot of harm both immediate (SIDS) and long-term. And it’s not just autism or neurological damage, there are a host of auto-immune and health issues that this practice has created in children (from diabetes, allergies, skin conditions, etc.).

You may think I’m crazy, and your doctor may say that people like me are crazy, but I’ve encountered thousands upon thousands of parents who followed the CDC and their doctors’ recommendations regarding vaccines, only to witness first hand their child experience a devastating vaccine injury.

My strong encouragement to you as you approach your precious baby’s 2 month visit is to decline all shots until you have a chance to research this topic further. I have no idea how your doctor views vaccines. Many doctors have started personal research into the dangers, and are surprised by the lack of safety studies. This pushes them to find out the facts and science. The entire vaccine schedule has never been tested for safety in a true evidence-based manner. If your doctor says there are studies to show the schedule of giving 30+ doses of 14 vaccines to babies by the age of 18 months has been tested – ask him for the reference, I’d love to read it.

The problem is that most doctors receive very little training in the science behind vaccines in medical school or on an ongoing basis. They are told over and over again “Vaccines are safe and effective and if we didn’t have them we would see massive infectious disease epidemics. So you MUST tell your patients to get their babies vaccinated.” Most of their training comes directly from the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture and promote the vaccines. The training is often specifically focussed on “persuading” parents to give vaccines – not to provide information on the science supporting vaccines. These companies are making a lot of money (it’s a $30B+ per year business) and have a spotty track record in terms of safety. The CDC has become “captive” to these companies and has done a lot of unethical maneuvers to maintain their stance in support of high vaccine rates (see further #CDCWhistleblower). Doctors and scientists supporting vaccines are often so enmeshed in the premise that “vaccines are good and have saved the world” that they are not able to critically look at the science and ask hard questions. Their careers and livelihood depend on their unwavering commitment to their vaccine agenda.

But the science does not support their claims.

In the end you, as the parents, will be solely responsible for your baby’s health. If your baby is injured in any way through a vaccine (which may only become apparent later) the vaccine manufacturer, the CDC, and your doctor all have 100% protection from liability. The parent is the one who will bear the burden of all medical costs and trauma from such an injury. And the costs can be ENORMOUS. Mostly the doctors and others will deny even very obvious vaccine injury so the parents receive a double blow – first the injury, then victimization from a system that refuses to acknowledge the harm it is causing.

There is good news in that thousands of families are finding healing from vaccine injury through biomedical interventions, but this process is expensive, long, and difficult. It does, however, prove that there is indeed a physical link between the child’s injury symptoms and the vaccine, and that when the physical impact is appropriately addressed with understanding the toxic damage caused by vaccines, some healing can occur.

I’m sorry to be so long. I get really passionate about this. Please pray and research. I can give you many resources to help you in your discovery. I know you only want the best for your precious baby. Sometimes it is hard to discern what the best is because there are powerful deceptive forces pushing the acceptance of vaccines. Hanging in the balance is a HUGE amount of money, many careers, medical reputations, and the health of the individual child. The media does not give a balanced representation and often portrays those who speak of the dangers of the vaccine policy as crazy, quacks, etc. The media derives approximately 75% of its advertising revenue from pharmaceutical interests.

I’m boldly sharing this with you because I care and my heart would break if your baby suffered any damage from vaccines purported to “protect”, when in reality, they hurt far too many babies. The rate of injury is not “very rare”, as many doctors like to tell their patients. I’ve connected with thousands of parents who personally witnessed injuries. They believed the recommendations that vaccines were in the best interests of their baby, they trusted the doctor’s advice, and they dutifully took their babies for their shots. There are many many dangerous ingredients in vaccines and not enough science to discover how they impact such tiny vulnerable bodies. Parents deserve to know the true risk of ALL medical procedures – including routine vaccines.

Breastmilk is truly the absolute best vaccine any baby ever needs. Your milk is a living substance, which is perfectly designed by God to offer protection from illness, epigenetic enhancement of your baby’s immune system, and nutrition in exactly the form he needs.

Blessings and love to you!

Becky

Hallelujah, this was her response:

Dear Becky,

You sent this at the perfect time. I’ve been praying for wisdom and discernment in how to handle the issue of vaccinations for baby as his 2 month appointment is approaching quickly. I haven’t felt a peace about vaccines, but to be honest, I haven’t fully researched the topic. I’ve read enough to be alarmed and feel unsettled about the whole thing.

I really feel like God used you today in sending this message when you did. It really served as the encouragement we needed and hubby and I have decided to hold off on any shots to give ourselves more time to research further. Baby’s wellness is too important to make a flippant decision that we don’t feel at peace about.

I would love any resources you can send my way about this topic.

Thanks so much for reaching out! It came at the perfect time!

My Embarrassing Birth Story

& Lessons I Learned, namely: Why Your Birth Attendant Makes a HUGE Difference & How to Check Them Out Thoroughly. 

Pregnant 3 croppedYou are going to be a new parent. You are so excited. You research car seats, baby monitors, diapers (nappies), have baby showers, get lots of presents, all that FUN stuff.

If you are like me you might also research what kind of birth you want to have and select your birth attendant very carefully. My first baby was born in 1982. It was absolutely the most significant event of my life up until that point. I basked in the grace God had bestowed on me in making me a mom.

During my pregnancy I attended the hospital “preparing for birth” classes AND we also paid extra money to attend the local “La Maze” more natural oriented preparing for childbirth classes. My husband graciously accompanied me to all those classes! I also attended the series of four La Leche League meetings that covered all thing breastfeeding, but also overlapped to discussing how our birth choices can impact our breastfeeding outcome. The LLL distilled wisdom sums it up like this: “Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.” 

Both the La Maze instructor and the LLL meetings had a lending library available for further learning. I read EVERY SINGLE BOOK in both libraries on the topic of natural birth.

I believe I was as prepared as I possibly could be – at the time. This was long before the Internet and before a lot of great courses and books had appeared on the scene. I had lots of theoretical knowledge of birth, the process and how to cooperate with the process for the most natural, healthy outcome – all for the sake of my precious baby.

I spoke to all the more naturally oriented mothers around and got a recommendation for a wonderful OB/Gyn who happened to be 30 miles away from the major center in which we lived. He believed strongly in the benefits of midwives and so his practice included midwives – quite unusual for the Midwest USA at the time. His practice had fantastic outcomes and we were happy to drive that far for all the appointments because their philosophy about birth matched what I had learned that would be best for mom AND baby. I was planning a natural birth, because I did not want any unnecessary medications to interfere with this most precious new life that God had blessed me with.

It seems we had planned for absolutely every eventuality – except the weather. My labor started in the very early hours of the morning in the middle of one of the worst snowstorms to hit the Midwest in over 50 years. There was such a dump of snow that ALL the roads were closed. My labor was quite mild at first and I was quite happy just to stay put. My husband was a lot more concerned, i.e. panicking. We were both very new at this. He decided to phone someone (can’t remember now) and after a large snowplow cleared the major road we lived on, an ambulance arrived to take me to the local hospital about 5 minutes away.

I don’t think I even have a written birth plan. I had so much confidence in the more ‘alternative’ birth center we had chosen, that it wasn’t a necessity. Now I was thrust into the care of a very medically orientated hospital. On top of their differing philosophy and respect for the natural birth process and a woman’s body, because of the huge storm, they were also doing a double shift. Since the roads were impassable, no new staff had been able to arrive for work, thus everyone on duty had to just keep on keeping on.

So I found myself alone in my desire to have a wonderful, peaceful, calm, supported fully natural birth which respected the capabilities of birth my body was designed for. Modern medicine has certainly been responsible for many life-saving techniques. A woman with a complicated non progressing labor may need serious intervention and help. But for most women most of the time, studies show better outcomes if they are supported in labor and their body is able to proceed to do this very important work with as little interference as possible.

Instead of being able to settle in and allow my labor to do the work, I had to battle and think about every single thing they were trying to do to me! First it was the IV, then the fetal distress monitors, then in the middle of the second stage (pushing) it was the huge needle I’d never even heard of that the doctor (or resident) started to inject – without even asking.

I said, “what is that?”

He answered, “Oh, it’s just a pudendal block.”

I said, “What’s it for?”

He said, “So you don’t feel so much pain.”

I said, “I TOLD YOU no medications!”

You see, he had briefly come into my room while I was laboring where I filled him in on the fact that I wanted a COMPLETELY NATURAL BIRTH. To me that meant no medication at all, but obviously to him it meant something quite different.

Well I guess he thought he was being considerate because this is a form of local anesthesia that numbs the whole area similarly to how a dentist numbs the spot before they drill. He thought he was being nice because he knew his next step was a MAJOR episiotomy – routine you know.

I had no idea. I had been rolled into the delivery room on a bed. My labor hadn’t been that terrible. In terms of pain it wasn’t too bad. But the support and assistance and having to question and usually oppose all the routines is never a good way for a woman to experience labor.

Here I am, on a hospital delivery bed and they strapped my legs into stirrups! If anyone tells you they do that for the woman’s convenience, they are too delusional to believe any other word that comes out of their mouth – that is a bold-faced lie.

So in this very undignified position I now have at least three or four “cheerleaders” peering into my private parts. With every contraction they shout in unison “PUSH, PUSH, PUSH MOMMA, YOU CAN DO IT.” It is really hard to ignore such a powerful intrusive force. I’m not sure who those people were. Maybe a doctor, with a resident and a couple of nursing assistants. Who knows. But they were all people with no respect for a woman’s ability to birth a baby on her own. They thought they were helping.

With that much enthusiastic cheering I was forcefully pushing my precious baby through the birth canal – but just a little bit too fast to accommodate all the stretching needed – actually, maybe a LOT TOO FAST. The ‘kind’ doctor decided to help by giving me an ENORMOUS episiotomy.

Thus baby number one came into the world.

_DSC1724I must say that despite the medically mediated “natural” birth, the experience of holding our baby and seeing him was awesome and spellbinding. It was an instantaneous healing of sorts. However, there was still the small matter of momma being sliced up and needing some serious stitching. The ‘kind’ doctor managed to do it in about 40 minutes while momma’s feet were still strapped in the stirrups.

I can’t really remember how much skin to skin we got to enjoy with baby. It wasn’t optimal. In fact he hadn’t even found the nipple or tried to nurse. I was euphoric from all the birth hormones and the sight of our awesome amazing new life – our baby. In the recovery room we were blessed with an experienced nurse who expertly helped baby to latch. I don’t know how long it had been, but he latched like a little pro took a couple of sucks and proved to me that he knew what to do! We continued to practice frequently – as I’d learned at the La Leche League meetings.

The reason I even started writing this blog and rehashing all these memories – some 33 years later – is that I happened to remember a story under the topic of ‘most embarrassing private moments of your life’ based on something that happened later the same night.

You see, the ‘kind’ doctor was worried about his repair job. He was concerned lest I might have a bowel movement that might tear me apart even more. His cutting job had gotten a little too close to a very essential other part of the human anatomy. He thus asked me about my bowel patterns and suggested that a laxative would be a good idea to help soften the stool especially at first.

So sometime in the middle of the night around 2 am I was holding and feeding my precious treasure – still in absolute delight – when I felt a very strong urgent call of nature. The problem was this was URGENT and I still had to: 1. Put baby down safely; and 2. Maneuver my body with all the associated soreness of a HUGE incision in a most precarious location off the bed and over to the bathroom.

I didn’t manage.

The laxative had done its work – well. The sheets were a mess. I called the nurses who were very gracious and helpful. It turns out there was a good side. While we were in the middle of getting cleaned up, the “baby nursery nurse” came in to collect my baby. I said, “No, we want to room in.” She said, “ALL babies go to the nursery on the FIRST night, even those that room in.” To which I responded (sometimes I think fast), “well, he didn’t finish breastfeeding the last time because we kind of had this big interruption, so I still need to finish.” And she disappeared – and fortunately never came back!

After the first experience of a hospital birth my dominating concern was “I never want a doctor at any future births – give me a midwife.” So the next four births all had midwife assisted deliveries, the last three were at home.

DSC_0062Fast forward 17 years to the birth of my fifth child. I had a relaxing labor, spent part of the time in a water pool which my loving husband had filled in our birthing bedroom. It was early in the morning and all the other four children were still asleep (they were 17, 15, 10, & 7). The midwife arrived, I labored outside the pool for an agonizing half an hour, got back into the pool, where are precious baby number 5 was gently transitioned into the world and onto my chest. My body could do it – all n the matter of a few hours, without the cheerleading, the episiotomy, the medical ‘assistance.’

My daughter-in-laws births are also a fantastic demonstration of the importance of preparation – but more importantly the personnel who attend your birth. These wonderful girls birthed healthy babies at full term with no drugs, no episiotomies and NO STITCHES! They’ve each had two babies and were attended by experienced midwives – one in a hospital and one at home.

The attendants make all the difference. Choose your attendant wisely. I leave you with two thoughts about making a wise choice for your birth attendant:

  1. If you walk into a surgeon’s office what can you expect? Surgery.
  1. The best indicator of future performance (how your birth is going to play out with this person as your attendant) is past performance. What are this person’s stats? How many completely natural births have they ever seen? What is their definition of “natural”? What position do most of their moms deliver in? (This is a very telling question. Most doctors don’t like to be inconvenienced too much, thus they like the mom to be in a position more suitable for them than for the birthing mom and baby.) Don’t ask what they will allow you to do – ask them what their patients have done in the past. Remember, past performance is the best indicator of future performance.

Proverbs 14:12 says “There is a way that seems right to a MAN, but its end is the way of death.” I think this particularly applies to childbirth. If it seems right to a MAN, it might not be the best way for a woman. Of course there are some rare men, such as Michel Odent who left his OB practise to become a midwife, but overall most women, most times are going to have a much better birth outcome by trusting the way God has made their body, and trusting a woman who respects the natural birth process to be her birth attendant.

This little booklet, called The Basic Needs of a Woman in Labor, was written with information gleaned by a midwife who worked alongside Michel Odent and is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all pregnant couples.

Through Dr Odent’s many years (more than half a century) of attending births (around 15,000 births) in both hospitals and at home, Dr. Odent has come to the conclusion that a laboring woman needs not much more than to be left alone, simply to be attended to by a quiet, non-invasive and low profile midwife.

If you’d like to read more information on the safety of homebirths, this is an important study recently published:

Outcomes of Care for 16,924 Planned Home Births in the United States: The Midwives Alliance of North America Statistics Project, 2004 to 2009, Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, Volume 59, Issue 1, pages 17–27, January/February 2014 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jmwh.12172/abstract

And this is a discussion of the study by the Midwives Association of North America: http://mana.org/blog/home-birth-safety-outcomes

[The study] confirms the safety and overwhelmingly positive health benefits for low-risk mothers and babies who choose to birth at home with a midwife. At every step of the way, midwives are providing excellent care. This study enables families, providers and policymakers to have a transparent look at the risks and benefits of planned home birth as well as the health benefits of normal physiologic birth.

DSC_0042Birth is such a wonderful, incredible event in the life of a woman. Most of us don’t have enough children to allow us to “get it wrong” too many times. I urge all pregnant or wanting to be pregnant women to choose your birth attendants with much information and awareness.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

Blind leading blindThere are many kinds of people in the world. Perhaps they could be divided into 3 broad categories:

  1. those who never knowingly lie;
  2. those who lie occasionally;
  3. those who deliberately lie;
  4. those who perpetuate a lie because while they actually fall into category 1 above, they have believed a lie from someone who falls into category 3.

Human nature often encourages slight alterations of the truth. We want to present ourselves well. Sometimes we are not even aware that we are communicating a lie.

However, I want to focus on how to recognize those who fall into category 3. In my life I haven’t really encountered too many of this type, but as I am seeking to know and understand TRUTH in a broad range of topics, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are people who are purposefully and knowingly perpetuating lies for some motive which is not always apparent.

History is a great place to discover many lies, but it takes tenacity and digging for real evidence, to understand that some of the short paragraphs in our history books are actually more false than true.

For some time in the US we have been conditioned by our culture to believe what we are told, not to think for ourselves, and to accept the messages given by authorities without question. Dr John Taylor Gatto, a New York Teacher of the Year with over 30 years of experience, wrote about this in Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, which was first printed in 1991 and updated in 2002.[1]

At one time I thought spies and counter intelligence agents were purely fiction. When watching episodes of Chuck with my children, I never dreamed there were real people in the real world in similar operations, but unlike Chuck and Sara, they did not have good intentions, a good conscience, or seek to do the ‘right’ thing.

There are currently government psyops seeking to impact the way you and I think. A psyop is short for “psychological operation”. The people who are given the task of implementing such operations are often referred to as an OP, or operative.

There are some general characteristics of OPs that can help us to analyze information we receive to protect us from getting duped – and thus falling into category 4 above. OPs often do a great job of fitting in, looking normal, and appearing to have the same goals and purposes of the group which they infiltrate. They often seem like ‘the most trusted individuals of all.’

Some questions are too important to get wrong. It seems the number one point to remember is – Question everything and everyone.

If there are people in our country capable of perpetuating a great lie on the entire population, you can be sure that they are also capable of mounting a significant ‘disinformation movement’ in order to lead those who might discover the lie, down a different path – a path of their own making. It is an ALTERNATIVE path, but not a path to the real TRUTH.

Thus, in the maze of alternative information sources we must be careful to question. Just because someone labels himself or herself “alternative” does not always guarantee they are a truth seeker and truth proclaimer.

To be fair, some in the alternative media might be proclaiming lies – unknowingly – as in category 4.

Dr Judy Wood shares an important list of points to consider when evaluating information and seeking to know ‘who can I trust?'[2] This list can help provide discernment to discover if a person’s intent is to mislead, confuse, and divide. Disinformation specialists do not announce their intentions. They try to gain trust and get people to accept their ideas, then subtly lead them astray or cause a breakdown in an effective group. Even if you don’t claim to be a follower of Jesus, you can certainly see the truth of His words to his followers:  “Beware of false prophets, they come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ferocious wolves.”[3]

  1. Does this person encourage me to think my own thoughts or do they want to pressure me to accept their thoughts as my opinion?
  2. Does this person support and encourage me to continue working independently or do they try to impede my research efforts?
  3. Does this person share facts and documented evidence or attack those with a different point of view?
  4. Does this person respect me if our opinions differ? Can they tolerate independent thought? Can we rationally discuss ideas when we differ?
  5. Does this person have any financial or career links to the points they are making?
  6. Do they resort to authority? “I’m a nurse” or “I’m a doctor” or “listen to a doctor”

Discussion in the field of vaccine research can be highly emotive. Many parents at one time were in category 4. They were lied to. They believed a lie. They believed vaccines were safe and effective, only to find they weren’t – at least in the case of their own child. They live with the pain of that decision every day of their lives as they deal with vaccine injury. To be fair, maybe their doctor also fell into category 4 – he also thought vaccines were safe and effective. However, doctors have been so conditioned, have been lied to and participated in the lie for so long, that they have a very hard time ever admitting vaccine injury – even when it is right in front of them with a patient collapsing with seizures after a vaccine or not able to walk or talk after a round of ‘boosters.’

MiSTRAL En.inddOur own personal health and safety is up to us. Strong forces stand to benefit more when we accept everything we are told by those in authority. They don’t want us to question for ourselves. That should be a big red flag in and of itself.

I wish strength and health to you and your family in your search for truth. I hope my writing might be a means of facilitating questioning and truth seeking. If you have always assumed there was a rock solid case for vaccine safety, I encourage you to seek to understand your advisor well. What are the motives or the financial ties of those who are giving your information? Don’t fall prey to the blind leading the blind.[4] If you plan on giving some vaccines please read this first. Blessings.

What to do if CPS Shows up at Your Door

Family HandsSometimes children are harmed in their homes. This does not make every parent a suspect. In our current hyper vigilant age, there are more parents being reported to CPS than ever before.

  • Loving parents who refuse a recommended medical treatment for their child can be reported by a doctor who might fear losing his license to practice medicine.
  • Neighbors or estranged family members may report a family despite the lack of grounds to support any allegations of abuse.
  • Parents with a sick child seeking a second opinion have been reported to CPS by hospital or medical authorities.

Family HeartSince more parents are experiencing a visit from CPS than ever before, and since sometimes those visits have resulted in the quick removal of children – despite no grounds to allegations of harm or abuse – it is critically important for every parent to have a good idea of how to respond to a CPS visit. Don’t think ‘it can’t happen to me.’ Take any visit by CPS seriously.

The most significant mistakes made by parents are usually in the very first encounter. If you can understand how to handle the very first encounter with CPS, you can increase your chances of maintaining your family’s rights and freedom. CPS will often seek to take a family by surprise. Be prepared.

holding the key1. THE KEY: Be polite & SAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. You might be terrified inside. You might be absolutely angry if you feel there is injustice going on, but the number one thing you can do is stay calm and be polite. Anything you say can be twisted. Do NOT DEFEND YOURSELF. Do NOT volunteer information.

2. Do NOT let them in your house. Be nice but STAY FIRM. Have one statement ready and repeat it over and over “I know you are just doing your job, but my main obligation is to my children and to help them avoid unnecessary trauma.” If they do not have a warrant and there is no obvious emergency, they are not allowed access to your home. If a police officer is with them, they all know it is illegal to enter a home unless you CONSENT, or unless they have a warrant, or can hear an emergency situation going on. DO NOT CONSENT. 

3. Ask permission to ask THEM questions. “I realize you are just doing your job. Would it be ok if I asked you a couple of questions?” Then, ask if you can record the conversation. If you need to get your cell phone, close the door and say, “I need to get something.” These are the questions to ask them:

  • “Firstly, do you have some identification? After you get their ID, write down their name, then ask, “Can you give me the name and phone number of your supervisor?” Write it all down. Take your time.
  • Next “What are the exact allegations that have been made against me? Federal law requires that I should be informed of any allegations against me.”
  • Ask them if they have a warrant. Be direct. “Do you have a warrant to search my home or speak to my children?” If they produce a warrant make sure it is signed by a judge and dated.

Without a warrant they must gain your consent to enter your home or speak to your children. They are doing their job. Their supervisor has instructed them to make this visit and they will use whatever tactic they feel will be effective to GET MORE INFORMATION AGAINST YOU. They may alternate between: trying to be nice, being firm, threatening or trying to bargain with you. Stay immune to every tactic. Be Nice, but know your rights. Do not get caught up in their games. Don’t engage them in any discussion, except on the questions above.

4. Tell them you are going to contact your attorney and when you get them on the phone, you will allow them to speak to your attorney. Close the door. Phone your attorney so the attorney can speak to the CPS case worker and help them to leave. Your attorney will know the law and remind the case worker of your rights. It is always a good idea to have an advocate on your side.

What do I do if I don’t have an attorney?

If you are a Christian and Homeschooling, you might like to consider joining Heritage Defense.[1] If you are homeschooling you might like to join Home School Legal Defense Association who will defend you against allegations by social services as they pertain to homeschooling. Both organizations require a monthly or yearly fee but are available for telephone help immediately in any emergency situation you might face.

I pray you will never need to use this information. Unfortunately, in the present time of extensive government involvement in the lives of parents, many parents have found themselves in complex situations with CPS. It is better to be forewarned and forearmed. Your number one desire is to protect your children from harm. Too often CPS has brought more harm than help.

There is obviously a lot of concern on the topic of CPS and protecting your family. Whether you are currently being investigated by CPS, are a non-offending parent in an open CPS case, or are a mandated reporter, this post by Women’s Justice Center in California has some great tips for “Avoiding the Abuses of Child Protective Services“. The topics presented: A. Tips on How and Where to Report Child Abuse; B. Tips for dealing with CPS if CPS has already opened a case regarding abuse of your child; and C. Tips for getting the best possible representation from your court appointed attorney.

If you’ve never heard of CPS abuses, you might be interested to watch this 13 minute video presentation by Senator Nancy Schaefer from Georgia, highlighting some of her findings after investigating the CPS system for four years. Nancy and her husband were shot and killed in 2010 in what the authorities ruled was a murder suicide. Nancy had been speaking out against CPS abuses and had written a report entitled, The Corrupt Business of the Child Protective Services which focused “on the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS). However, I believe Child Protective Services nationwide has become corrupt and that the entire system is broken almost beyond repair. I am convinced parents and families should be warned of the dangers.”

“I have witnessed such injustice and harm brought to these families that I am not sure if I even believe reform of the system is possible! The system cannot be trusted. It does not serve the people. It obliterates families and children simply because it has the power to do so. Children deserve better. Families deserve better. It’s time to pull back the curtain and set our children and families free.”

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy” Proverbs 31:8-9
