Chul-Mo Sohn is a single father from Sacramento, CA who was raising his two daughters until the Department of Children and Family services interfered and destroyed his life, as well as the lives of his daughters. Chul-Mo is now on a hunger strike to his death to protest the destruction of his family by this corrupted agency that strip searched and handcuffed his twelve year old daughter for protesting against the removal of her little sister, Yih.
When Chul-Mo intervened to protect his children from physical and sexual abuse, and took custody of the children to remove them to safety, he was arrested and jailed for many months on a charge of kidnapping. His appeal to present extraordinary circumstance was denied and he was not allowed to present the evidence that caused him to go to his children and protect them from the abuse they were suffering from.
Dec. 1st, Rosa Parks Day, we will protest Nation wide for Chul-Mo and thousands of other American families against the tyranny and retaliation of the Department of Children and Family Services. Chul-Mo was a decent, hard working father and provider for his children. He has never abused them or harmed them in any way. He, like hundreds of others involved with DCFS, has lost all hope and is prepared to martyr himself for his children. The suicide rate among families dealing with this agency is appalling, and the obstructions the families face are often impossible for any human to overcome.
No agency in the United States should be unaccountable, or police itself. There should be no immunity for willful wrongdoing (malfeasance) and the Department of Children and Family Services is the only agency that has this unchecked power. Families have the Inherent right to remain united whenever it is safe for the children to do so, and in the case of Chul-Mo it is not only safe, it is loving and nurturing. These children and their father have been robbed of each others company and comfort, and it is time to re-unite this family before another tragedy occurs.
When the State removes a child it is like a death sentence for the entire family. It is a living death for those who remain, and a literal death for those who cannot bear the horror of never seeing a beloved child again-for no reason other than the malicious discretion of an agency that is funded by removing children, not re-uniting them with their families as mandated by law.
The death of Chul-Mo will be a needless tragedy, and a tragedy his children will have to live with the rest of their lives. The true criminals hide behind their immunity and continue to destroy families as they are well paid to do. It is their job, and they relish in it. We must stop this abomination or our family trees will soon be stumps.. in fact, they already are.
Please come to assistance of Chul-Mo and help re-unite his family. He can explain his circumstances to you in complete detail, and his story is horrifying. Please contact him at chulmosohn@yahoo.com and please consider telling his story to the public. His children need him alive, and he has lost the will to live without them. Something can be done if the public is aware of his situation. His story will be documented Dec. 1st by a film journalist. We hope it will have a happy ending.
Oh yeah. Anyone who has kids in publik skools knows this. This kind of crap has been going on long before either President Bush were in office. My older girls would come home from school complaining about the nosy questions they had to answer. That was many moons ago. Then there was my son. I had to go along with them and take him to a psychiatrist and have him put on meds. He's off the meds now. I took him off off of them acouple of years ago. That's my major complaint with "No Child Left Behind", AKA "all children are pegs and shall fit into the same hole". I have my youngest in a homeschooling program. I've had two visits from CPS at the instigation of my ex husband. The charges are ridiculous. Both investigations were judged to be unfounded. The second worker actually sent me a letter saying that. The first time, I received a phone call stating that they were closing out the investigation, and advised me to seek legal help regarding my ex husband. My kids were taken from the classroom and interviewed without my permission, the first time. I did a lot of reading afterwards. When the second worker came in August, I cited several Amendments stating that she had no right to come to my home. How did I know it was my ex? One of the accusations was "homeschooling". They were still on summer vacation. I'm in the process of a probate sale of the house we're living in. I'm the executrix. Please avoid being one, if you can possibly help it. Btw, all the money goes to one of my aunts. Mom had Alzheimers and changed the will. We're living with my 22 yr old daughter, her bf and their 2 yr old daughter in a 2 bedroom duplex. My daughter is due December 25th. My bf is on the same property, and lives in a one bedroom detached house, and I sleep at his house. This is a different county from where we got the visits. I hope and pray to God that this malignant growth of an ex doesn't call CPS again. Besides my ten yr old daughter (the boy is 17), there are grandchildren that could be snatched. It doesn't matter if nothing is going on in the home, if they want to, they'll find a way. Mr. Sohns' story is so important for all of us. Not just because we care about him and his children, but we need to wake up and realize that this could be us.
Oh crap. Forgot to format :-(
Thank you so much for your prayers!
