DHS/ DCS/ CPS/DCFS Abuse of Authority Problems In particular Oregon DHS

Updated 5/29/14

These government organizations are among the most out of control in my experience, I can speak in particular to Children’s Services in Oregon and California.

While I am sure there are good and well meaning persons employed at these government agencies, there are no boundaries for the abuse of authority the exists in these agencies. Many of these social workers have no respect for the constitution of the USA and will make themselves the judge, jury and executioner while ignoring due process.
These government organizations under the UNCONSTITUTIONAL assumption of guilty until proven innocent!! I know from both my and many others experience as well as two persons I know that have worked for DPS/DHS that confirmed this is the assumption they operate under.
Simply put these are EVIL government agencies that are TOTALLY out of control.
Frankly if I had any political power, these evil agencies would be totally shut down nation wide!!

I have been given this rather poor example to support their actions: “they need to act quickly to prevent potential harm to the children in question”.
Unfortunately while this may help some children, how many are also harmed due to false or inaccurate accusations? More importantly, if I were to take the same actions against the real cause of harm to my family (more on this later), and take action without going through proper legal channels, I would end up in jail, so why are these social workers allowed to break the law while an ordinary citizen would be accused of vigilantism?



In my family's most recent problems with Oregon DHS was a VERY sad example of persons that had no business being employed as a worker as all the facts that were easily found (many as public record) were grossly overlooked.
As a side note the Grants Pass Police also have mishandled the issues that have led up to this problem and the arrogance of the desk sergeant I spoke with as to the departments behavior was both immoral and extremely lacking in any compassionate. See: Grants Pass Police; Issues with Integrity

This most recent problem started with my oldest daughter who has or has had issues such as Neurosensory Dysfunction, Asbergers, common puberty issues, and most importantly; mental harm that resulted from a person that harmed her after taking advantage of my wife during a mental breakdown due to severe depression and more several years back while still in California. It is noteworthy that she was under the care of a trained Childrens's physiologist/therapist at the time too.
This last issue still is buried in ways where she will remember then totally forget and deny what she earlier have told us. We believe this is the result of this person threatening to kill her if she said anything!!

Her therapist here in Grants Pass that has been working with her since her emergency arrival here (we flew her ahead of the family to protect her), is aware of this (he has been an awesome person I might add that has achieved Michelle’s full trust allowing for him learn much from her), the Grants Pass PD is aware of the veiled threats sent to us and the fact she still has severe nightmares of harm from him, unfortunately they have done little to help, unlike the LA Sheriff which kindly kept in contact with my family before we moved. I also noted this to her school counselor early in the school year.

Sadly however when she had one of her common melt downs, where she made suicidal statements (although those who know her well, know that although she can be deeply depressed, she is not suicidal), her school counselor brought DHS into the problem, totally bypassing me, even her therapist and others that know the truth (such as those from our church who we spend many camping trips with and know our family well, or my sister who acted as her mother when my daughter was first moved to Oregon); since my daughter has been made to believe many lies, in part from threats of harm (that are documented) from the man in Los Angeles CA., she quickly made statements about me that mirror 100% documented emails and other statements made by this person.

DHS in their apparently man/father hating attitude “ran with this”, not conducting any real investigation such as even consulting with her long term therapist. They convinced my other children and worse even my wife (who struggles with being easily suggestible) that I had issues of anger which are far from the truth (I do struggle with bitterness issues, but I am much better in this in part due loving help of others including church counselors).

The other issue I was falsely accused of was being controlling. HOWEVER going all the way back to high school and even currently in an Aquarium forum I host, I have been correctly told that I am easily walked over and I am totally the opposite of controlling; so this accusation was so preposterous it is downright evil and scary.
In fact most persons from neighbors to co-workers have accused me of being "lacking any control over my family or others in my sphere of influence", and most persons including counselors have stated that it is my wife when she is suffering from depression that is very subtly controlling!
Simply asking those who have known me over my life would have told any COMPETENT social worker the truth as to this, but then truth is a foreign concept to these persons.

Other accusations were made that I spent too much time with my business and online answering the many questions I get from persons seeking help with their aquarium or pond problems. This admittedly had some truth to it as I did spend many late hours answering questions, but I have cut back here (to the anger of many now who send me rude emails).
As well I worked many hours starting at 4 am collecting cans/bottles to pay our bills.
Sadly this could have been avoided if the Oregon Trail (Food Stamps) allowed us into the program, but we were not since I was self-employed. What was evil here is that my wife was even counseled by the DHS that she would get Food Stamps if she left me......WOW!
Reference: Oregon Trail, Food Stamps

A scary/evil aspect of this was that my life insurance policy was inquired as to benefits, with the obvious thinking this action might cause me to take my life, and when couple this with the fact that many of these false charges were hand written and NOT in my wife’s hand writing, this smacks of an evil that is beyond comprehension.

This resulted in my family being removed literally in a matter of hours while I was away on a business trip. This caused much trauma to my two younger children, especially my autistic son who amazingly saw through the lies. DHS also convinced my wife to place a restraining order on me based on so many lies I will not even add them here.
On a positive note, I had an outpouring of support as to this horrible and dishonest restraining order by many at our church who knew these charges to be outright blatant lies, since many camp with us and know that I have ALWAYS been the familyies primary giver. As well since I work out of the home (to take of my special needs kids), the two persons that have spend much time there also knew that the total opposite of these charges was the truth. Since I am the primary care giver, the kids could not get to their karate classes, were latch key kids, were not fed the home cooked balanced meals I provided, and more.

Thankfully during a hearing, the judge immediately questioned the truthfulness of these charges, and with a court full of person that knew the truth the restraining order was thrown out after he asked my wife if she really wanted to go forward with this more and she quickly saw that this was going nowhere.
Unfortunately it took the Grants Pass PD a few months to respond to this (but then again they could have helped with this problem, but chose not to and the desk sergeant even laughed at me in a later phone call).
As well, with the help of many truly caring persons, that knew and sought the truth, my wife and I are now back together.
Here is a quote from a friend (John L) as to the problems with Oregon DHS and GPPD:
unfortunately those w/ authority do not seem to act under the principles of what God intended for the betterment of mankind - keep faith my friend - good will prevail over evil eventually - at least that's what I keep telling myself (12/02/09)

Sadly though, the case worker, finally contacted me to get “my side” (weeks later??) and even when presented with evidence that was overwhelming (including eyewitness testimonials, hate emails from the person that is the real cause, and MUCH more), she still made this horrible statement:
“I believe your daughter should still not be with you”.
I later spoke with an attorney and others who know this DHS worker and this Attorney basically stated that she does what she wants to; regardless of the facts (essentially Jesus Christ could tell her she was wrong and she still would argue she is correct).

What is scary to me as to Human Services/Children’s Services/ Children’s Protective Services; is this is a similar response a case worker gave me after this person that is the cause of the initial problems back in Los Angeles after this man would call DHS/DCS to make false charges against me so as to deflect his own crimes against my family.

In the last incident back in LA, I had already flown my daughter to Oregon to protect her, yet the case worker responding to the "anonymous" charges that I was abusive the day before told me after I attempted to give her evidence to the contrary (such as the fact that my daughter has not even been in LA for a few weeks at this time) told me this: “It is not my job to investigate your evidence, rather to protect your children from you”. I could go on about what a psychopath this person who harmed my daughter and family is (causing great financial harm as well and me to abandon my business in LA of 25 years as my family was what is most important to me), but would rather not open up this can of worms.
See my business bio:
http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/AquariumBio.html

Hopefully someday some Politicians with the moral fortitude will do something to rein in the power bestowed upon these government agencies, as although they may help some families, they have often harmed families as well (I still am picking up the pieces from the harm DHS/DCS has bestowed upon my family). What is also sad is they were there with armies of persons to tear my family apart, but were nowhere to be found to put my family back together. Thankfully through the Love of Jesus shown through my sister Jan, my Brother in Law Cary and MANY at Bethany Presbyterian (that filled the court room), fellow co-workers, my previous partner from my old business (these persons worked out of the home and see how my family really is cared for) we are putting things back together once more.
See: My Thoughts, answer to prayers

I still worry, as my daughter still has much to deal with, as well my younger daughter is learning delayed and my son is autistic, so this places much stress on our family. This means we need loving and HONEST support.
As well the apparently corrupt Grants Pass PD has not shown it can truly care about the care for its citizens; they are too busy writing traffic citations for non existent violations, banging back doors to homes (about fireworks?), correcting citizens how to address a sergeant over an officer, & training their officers to lie IMO.

What was also interesting (& scary) is my autistic son saw through the lies told to him and my middle daughter by this monster that worked for Oregon CPS; “I know this is not true Dad”. Sadly he does not deal well with this type of stress and it showed and I was worried about him during this time.

I can say on a positive note that God did use this horrible evil for good (as He often does), such as bringing my family closer together in many ways and help me and my wife realize what is most important in life. As well this even helped me realize who our fiends were and who my were not my friends as others that I did much for in the past were quiet during this time when they could have shown Christian Integrity. Thankfully far more persons fit into the prior than the later.

SUMMARY

While I have seen abuse of authority in many aspects of government, nothing I have witnessed has come even close to the total ignoring of the facts and the downright destructive evil that was exhibited by the Oregon DHS (although Los Angeles County has similar issues).

Here are a summary of facts that the Oregon DHS brazenly ignored:

1. My daughters mental health history & Asbergers diagnosis that is well documented with her therapist, doctor, and others


2. My wife also has a documented history of mental health issues in part due to severe postpartum depression (not that this makes her a bad person) and this includes her easy manipulation by others when a given situation is difficult. This also includes multiple affair issues during her mental breakdowns with a person that is clearly Psychopath (btw, this is not my opinion either, but others more qualified than I), and mental hospitalization from post partum depression (by her own family I might add) as she was considered a threat to her child (at the time, not now)


3. The ignoring of well documented communications from an established Psychopath that took advantage of our family and continues to make either veiled threats or win my wife back.


4. The failure to ask those that are closely involved with our family such as members of the Holy Rovers Camping Group that has "lived" with our family and has witnessed us warts and all and was willing to testify as to the real truth (also employees that came to my house to work since I have worked out of my home off & on for more than a decade)


5. The dozen of documents including receipts of strange spending sprees that show exactly the opposite of what the Oregon DHS alleged


6. The clear manipulation by the Oregon DHS of my children that was obvious to other that later spoke to my kids (this is/was downright evil IMO)

Hopefully one of California or Oregon's more moral state representatives will work to either totally re-organize the Oregon DHS, California DHHS/CPS or simply dump these blatantly evil (IMO) state agencies (the same goes for many other similar agencies across the USA).

Here are other complaints about DHS/DCS/CPS:

From: We signed the "We are asking For: Victims of Child Welfare Memorial Day" petition!

* “My 2 grand children were taken from my son on false allegations and phone calls. C.P.S. just came and took them without a investigation. Soon to find out it was all lies and no probable cause. Because C.P.S. Failed to follow their own procedures and policy by not investigating, my 2 grandchildren are still in foster care.”

* “CPS social services should go more into depth with their cases, rather than pulling a child out of their home, and ripping their life apart, taking them away from their home, family, and siblings, just like they did mine. This needs to be taken seriously, my siblings and i were some of the lucky ones who resorted to family and friends rather than foster families who could have become abusive. My mother didn’t neglect us, or abuse us, CPS did. They have abused our whole life in just one day. God bless the children who died because CPS took them away from their families without the proper research, just their selfish thoughts of making money.”

*In a recent incident (noted from a close friend 3-9-12), the DHS was brought into a home to investigate simply based on a young girl's complaint about the food in her lunch prepared by her parents.
The facts from those her know this family is that she is a very "fussy" eater, but more importantly her parents are good care givers and the Oregon DHS had no business with their Gestapo methods going into their home, making false accusations and potentially removing this young girl.
But sadly this is how they often operate.

Update 5/1/13; Once again a CPS Agency has egg on their face by their OUT OF CONTROL heavy handed dishonest handling of this incident of illegal actions against the Nikolayev family. This story has received national attention, and maybe, just maybe, this will finally be the case that gets these evil government agencies shut down once and for all! And then send the many evil persons that work for these agencies to the unemployment lines where there deserve to be!! Here is the story: Nikolayev family happy to be reunited with baby boy, but worried about future CPS visits

Update 9/21/09; ABC Good Morning America & other media outlets, blogs, etc. have reported a similar incident where Children’s Services and local police have reacted without any kind of investigation In this case the employee that reported this couple is being criticized, but in my view the authorities share most of the blame as they did not investigate before taking action. Sadly, this also makes the many excellent police and Social workers jobs much more difficult, as these types of incidents further alienate the public from these government agencies and their heavy handed big brother actions. As with me, despite many documents, including a PHd children’s counselor was never consulted. It took an outpouring of persons that knew my family well in court and a wise judge that threw this out before hearing 90% of the witnesses present (including our church camping group, co-workers that work out of my home with me, and many more; that knows how much time I spend as the person that feeds and provides most of my children’s care) Anyway, here is the article: Bath Time Photos Prompt Child Porn Allegations

Greg Walden, RINO Republican, False Conservative

 

Republican Integrity (or lack there of such as Greg Walden) vs. Democrat lack of morals or discernment

Update 5-8-12

Greg Walden is once again on the ballot and once again our lousy Republican Committee cannot place a true conservative on the ballot.
By True conservative, I mean not just voting many of the "party line" votes, but showing true compassion and understanding of what the citizens of our state and nation must go through; especially small businessmen.
While his back seems to indicate he should understand at least some of the trials other business persons face, his actions and that of his staff CLEARLY do not!!

So once again I will refuse to vote for Greg Walden in 2012 nor give a dime to any general republican fund until this man is out of office!

It is about time that Republicans should never have to use "compassionate conservative" because in fact the two words are synonymous. I urge ALL moral conservatives to reach into their hearts and remove this man from office.
Please write in a candidate (a few friends are writing me, Carl Strohmeyer on the ballot). But whoever you choose, please show Democrats in this state that Republicans can also show an interest in the "little guy" and remove Greg Walden from office!!

To back up what I also observed from this man, here is a quote (one of many similar too I might add) from a community member who has met this phony:
"I live in Hood River as well..Please tell me how he is a solid member of the community. My kids went to school with his..I've been at his home and "tried" to have a normal conversation with him. He barely spoke to anyone . His son is a nice kid though.

He's not all that well thought of in the valley. What gets him elected and re-elected is name recognition. "
(From Oregon Live).

What is clear is Greg Walden is good at voting the party line, but that is not necessarily the best idea any more than than an Democrat who votes with Pelosi and her disgusting agenda 90% of the time.
From those who have met him or interacted with his staff (myself included), it is clear that Walden is an aloof individual with no empathy for others.

ORGINAL CONTENT OF THIS ARTICLE:
Leading the pack of arrogant Republican candidates with no integrity is Greg Walden.
His anti family and anti small business views are just plain wrong and the fact that neither he nor his staff will return emails or phone calls in arrogant.
This person implies Christian/Conservative values but has none as did other local (southern Oregon) candidates such as Gordon Anderson (who thankfully is no longer in office).
See: What is a True Conservative

Greg Walden (along with Gordon Anderson and many others of this RINO ilk should read Luke 10:25-37 as they are like the priest or Levite in the story.
Here is a quote for Greg Walden and others who share his views so as to refresh their memories:

25Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26He said to him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?" 27He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." 28And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live." 29But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, 'Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.' 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?" 37He said, "The one who showed him mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."


I have always taken care of my family and never have asked for help, yet recent years including a move form a going business in LA to protect my family and get my wife and children away from problems that ended up with our family being labeled and broke.
My first daughter had problems (I will not go into) that my wife could not deal well with due to severe postpartum depression, followed by a daughter with feeding and other difficulties followed by a son that contracted Meningitis in the hospital followed by other serous problem that left him in and out of the hospital for the first 14 months of his life. Later he was diagnosed with Autism.
During this time I asked for little help and what I did get was mostly judgment by person that would not look beneath the surface even a little. This is just a very little snip of what actually happened. Please see this Personal Journal; My Thoughts for more or my Biography web page

Much of what happened as to family could have been slowed, stopped, prevented, etc. if others who were in place to help just stood up and were counted.
This brings me to many RINO Republicans nowadays, although I do not believe Government is our daddy, if there are provisions in the law to help persons such as us, they should be granted equally or otherwise discarded. I have always disliked the term compassionate conservatism as conservatism at its core is compassionate and helps those who helps themselves. Unfortunately as to Food Stamps/ Oregon Trail (along with many other areas of government such as labor laws which I will not address here) this is not the case.
I have tried contacting many local politicians where I got little help, and finally found that my local US Representative (Greg Walden) was whom I needed to seek help from. Yet calls were never returned and the one time I did speak with this horrible individuals office they talked down to me, explaining to me that I need to know more about accounting (even though I got nothing less than an ‘A’ in high school or college accounting)!!!

The problem is the Federal Food Stamps program only allows for an over all cost of goods and expenses deduction of 50% from sales.
Reference: The Oregon/Federal Food Stamps Program dishonesty

This is ludicrous as even my vastly more profitable Aquarium Maintenance business back in LA NEVER made these kinds of profit and our internet business that we have now is doing well when we achieve 10% (& for readers passing judgment on me while reading this, although I work very long hours, this is the only way I can take care of my autistic son, cook my family meals and in general take care of my family).
Walden’s office and other local government employees even admitted that it if I was a bum pan handling in front of Wal-Mart for my next drink, I could get food stamps. Is this what conservatism really about, I do not think so!

Based on Greg Walden and some Evangelical Republicans actions (that pretend to be conservative when it is politically opportunistic), I know the statement “What Would Jesus Do” would not apply to them as this is certainly NOT what Jesus would do. There is much more to this problem than just this one incident, this is just one recent example.

Although I often listen to Rush Limbaugh and find him very insightful, I have to disagree and note that he is way off base as to why so many persons are disenchanted with many Republicans. Liberal Republicans such as John McCain would never get the nomination if so many everyday Republican voters, such as me did not feel that the so-called conservative candidates would live and act what they say.
I am sorry, as the Bible says: “You will know my children by their fruits”. I know many others who are fed up with pseudo conservatives and Evangelical Christians that are total hypocrites and the Republican Party and pundits such as Rush Limbaugh need to wake up and realize that the arrogance of so many Republicans is a major turn off to so many Republican voters and even some of my Democrat friends that have considered voting Republican and then were turned off by their actions vs. words.

The difficult dilemma is my choices on a National level is with a likely Democrat candidate that is either so ignorant or immoral as to the dangers we face on a national level that he thinks we can reason with persons that are pure evil and want nothing more than ours and Israel’s destruction.
History has proven this time and time again (think about Neville Chamberlain; “peace in our time” or the US Senator who stated that if he could of talked to Hitler before he invaded Poland, the invasion would never have happened. From my own life this kind of reasoning that Obama and others like Nancy Pelosi espouse is a kin to my the statement; “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” (which I wrote a personal post in my journal about).
On a personal level this kind of evil thinking by Obama and his ilk is why my family is in the situation it is in now, while on a national level this can harm far more than just our family.
