Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 25, 2008

The US Supreme Court recently refused to hear the case of DuPuy vs. McEwen. That lawsuit deals with the practice, by child protection agencies, of threatening to seize children in order to compel parents to sign a ?family safety plan.?

Such plans are tantamount to an admission by legally innocent parents that they are guilty of some kind of abuse or neglect of their children.

The standard ?safety plan? contains a warning that "failure to agree to a plan ? may result in ? a court order to remove my children from my home."

The Supreme Court?s refusal to review the case leaves in place an appeals court ruling that blackmailing parents into signing such documents actually increases their legal options.

It takes a genuinely totalitarian mind to believe that some benefit is conferred by a system that forces innocent parents to admit to abuse.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
