Oops, my goof - source is EAG News.org. , not American Mirror. Not sure if that re-classifies the OP in any way. Mods, please fix as needed.
It’s not her children it’s the gubmit’s.
We need DeVos...NOW.
This is going too far!
Buffalos should be able to instruct their young without being arrested!
Ping
I worry the kids are missing their thrice-weekly indoctrination into the Joys of Sodomy.

It takes a village to indoctrinate a child.
Yes it is insane. But remember this is in Buffalo, NY which while technically in the U.S., just barely though as Canada is just across the Niagara river, it has been run by democrats since the war of 1812! So, there you go.
I certainly hope she gets her kids back and beats this trumped up rap. If she hasn't already left the Democrat plantation for blacks I certainly hope she is rethinking her support for them. I even wonder if the truth isn't that she voted for Trump, and is now facing retribution. I certainly would not put it past Democrats to go there. They are a vindictive bunch without question.
I hope she knows how to contact the Homeschool Legal Defense Association, HSLDA.org
Let me have shark lawyers for $5,000,000, Alex.
I was homeschooled and could tell you things that would make your hair stand up.
But I still get upset myself, so I’ll just say, they’re trying to make an example of this woman. NY is not the worst among homeschool-unfriendly states. And...using CPS against homeschoolers is like police shooting people’s dogs; because they can, not because they must.
Enraged at this city for doing this to this woman and her kids.
In hindsight, instead of un-enrolling the children from their school she should have told they they were being transferred to another school.
The loss of an enrollment brings much more scrutiny than does a transfer.
Get a lawyer. A good one. And the NAACP to really annoy them. Scary that this can happen.
Not to take sides here, but choosing to home school your kids and then actually DOING it are two different things.
I think that homeschooling is not something that you do casually, but it is a commitment that is greater than what most people would suspect.
It’s possible that this woman was in over her head, and didn’t realize the enormity of what she had chosen to do.
I know people who have home schooled their kids...it isn’t something that was easy. There was lots of planning, and lessons and external testing, and, and....
The school district should be helping these parents, not trying to have them charged with neglect.
It's light years beyond insane: it's Tyrannical and Criminal.
The state of New York should be sued immediately, and those who committed this outrage, under color of law, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible for their criminality!
This is the kind of criminal behavior which justifies a fierce backlash on the part of the parent, and the citizenry at large.
It's diabolical how such Tyranny is perpetrated under the guise of "protecting the children". It's unconscionable and absolutely despicable. In addition to criminal liability, the state should also be subject to maximum financial sanctions as well.
The state must demonstrate a compelling reason before ripping children away from their parent in this horrid manner. Such action should be considered only as a last resort.
Think of the trauma it puts the children through, not to mention the parents! To justify something like this for such a frivol
The response of the City is not surprising, however, as a parent, it behooves us to know the rules, laws, etc., and abide by them. If you have to notify the school, then make sure you do it. I’m not advocating the school’s position, and I applaud the parent for taking action in light of the failure of the school system and her challenging circumstance, but you have to make sure the “i’s” are dotted and “t’s” are crossed. There are organizations out there, local, state and national like HSLDA, that can assist parents through the process and even come to their defense in cases like these or when the school systems overstep their bounds (which they frequently do whether by acicident or not) and require actions that are not required in the law. We’ve homeschooled for over 20 years now and though we live in a homeschool “friendly” state, we are sure to know the rules, laws and requirements.
I looked at her Facebook page. I guess this happened several weeks ago. Said cops took her phone and are still harassing her. Had a PayPal account and looking for a lawyer.
There has to be more to this story. I used to be a CPS though not in NY so their regulations may be SOMEWHAT different. Kids can not be removed simply for school absence. The worker must have serious evidence and approval by the supervisor before just yanking them. The children MUST be in immediate danger. There are distinct levels of “Priorities” and school absence is at the very lowest of even maybe taking on the case much less removal from the home. The. Very. Lowest. My office wouldn’t have made it a case. That’s a job for the school and it’s truancy person.
Has there been a hearing? There must be a court hearing immediately and the children must also have attorney ad litem to represent their rights.
I suspect there is much more going on with the kids than is being reported. The house must be a disaster, no food in the fridge, no heat and mama’s bf is messing with the kids or worse. Outside a combination of all that, there is no reason to remove the kids. But then, this is lib NY so who knows.
In the picture, we can see foil on the window. That may or may not be an indication of the house but then lots of people have foil on windows for all sorts of reasons.
Facebook is evil. Do not use it. It WILL be used against you.
