No matter what their mottos say, family court, juvenile court, and probate courts do not have the best interests of the children, the disabled, or the elderly in mind. These courts wield nearly absolute power over the parties in the cases.
These courts do not provide jury trials. The judge is the sole decision maker held to the lowest standard of proof—“preponderance of evidence.” This is a 51% standard, more likely than not, and the judge alone determines which parent or which paid professional is credible and therefore, more believable.
Parents can become refugees in their own country. Many parents become homeless due to loss of job and costs of court.
Child support costs are maximized because the federal government compensates States for higher amounts of child support imposed on parents through an incentivized funding scheme. Parents can lose their driver’s licenses and professional licenses for child support arrears. This has an effect on ability to get and keep a job.
Judges can designate dubious individuals as “legal parent” or “psychological parent” or “common law parent” in a case, allowing them to become “parties” to the case and eligible for custody of children.
Courts intentionally put children into the most dangerous hands. Judges follow policy to return children to a parent who sexually assaults them. The evidence of this is incontrovertible, and the policy is enshrined in procedural publications that are not written by legislatures.
In juvenile court, each State gets direct funding from the federal government to remove children from parents, to hold them hostage in foster care, and to “re-home” children with strangers.
The money involved in these foster care cases, per child, is staggering. Title IXX, Children’s Code, states in its annotations, that the best interests of the child are the best interests of the State. This means that the State will be preserved by the federal dollars it receives to steal the children from families and milk them for money. Hundreds of billions of dollar exchange hands from the federal government to the States for distribution to Department of Human Services agencies and to paid to attorneys and caseworkers who work together to terminate parents’ rights.
Children are torn from parents for “protection.” Removals occur before evidence can be presented that allegations are false. Parent-child bonds are replaced with foster parent-child bonds, according to case workers. States can remove children who are suffering from gender “confusion” and proceed to treat them with puberty blockers against parents’ knowledge or permission.
Children in foster care are historically known to be guinea pigs for drugs and surgeries. That is because their parents have been rendered powerless over medical decisions.
State actors prolong and delay cases to break the parent/child bond and to pay scores of professionals from funds under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act.
American courts are supplying an international adoption ring.
Probate court benefits from the other end of the spectrum: the end of life. Here the money to be made comes from the assets of the elderly person. Probate court assigns guardians and conservators who take control of the individual’s physical body and of the property in the estate. They also take medical control and can decide to pull the plug—literally choosing when to terminate the life of an elderly victim.
People who are dragged into these cases are most often totally ignorant of the evil forces they are up against. The machinery of court-sanctioned human trafficking for profit is destroying families in America. This is not a political issue; it is a moral issue.
