The social work "profession" has been out of control since the 1940s in the area of child warfare. The history of social work as a "profession" is most instructive on this issue. As it began to be taught as a discipline at university social wreckers almost immediately wanted to be recognized as professionals on par with physicians. They styled themselves as child welfare experts and began a concerted effort to insinuate themselves into the maternity home movement, notable the Crittenden Mission. The maternity homes had been operated primarily by benevolent, church affiliated women's associatons up until about 1945. The maternity home mission pre-1945 was to help unmarried mothers prepare for the life challenges of raising their children alone. It was considered very very bad to separate children from their blood families.
When the wreckers came along, they substituted a Freudian and atheistic view of unwed motherhood for the Christian view that had been used before. In the Freudian view, unwed mothers were suddenly labeled "neurotic" and "unfit" instead of being viewed as "fallen sisters" as they had been in the Christian view. Forced removal of the child and placement into secret closed adoption was portrayed as the only remedy for such neurotic, hypersexualized beings as an unwed 17 year old!! Unopposed, and even aided by the restrictive laws at the time, the social work profession removed over 170,000 children a year from their blood families during the peak years of 1968 - 1970. These children were placed into adoptive families for exorbitant "donations." One social work textbook had this to say ; "Because there are many more married couples wanting to adopt newborn white babies than there are babies, it may almost be said that they rather than out of wedlock babies are a social problem. (Sometimes social workers in adoption agencies have facetiously suggested setting up social provisions for more 'babybreeding'.)" SOCIAL WORK AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS, National Association of Social Workers, (Out-of-print) copyright 1964
( By way of an inetersting comparison, here is a quote regarding the lifelong aftereffects of such action: ""A grief reaction unique to the relinquishing mother was identified. Although this reaction consists of features characteristic of the normal grief reaction, these features persist and often lead to chronic, unresolved grief. CONCLUSIONS: The relinquishing mother is at risk for long-term physical, psychologic, and social repercussions. Although interventions have been proposed, little is known about their effectiveness in preventing or alleviating these repercussions." Journal of Obstetric, Gynecological and Neonatal Nursing, 1999 Jul-Aug; pp. 395-400 . ) The life long effects on women who lost children in this coercive way are currently the subject of much documentation. History shall decide the outcome. In the meantime, all the knowledge and technique gained in the adoption arena between 1945 and 1975 is currently being applied to American families deemed "unfit" by social wreckers.
For many reasons, the number of children placed for adoption has declined in this country since the 1970s. Social workers turned their eyes to fostercare work in a bid to replace income and status lost with the decline of "voluntary" adoption.( I use quotes because the mothers of these children almost unanimously claim the adoptions were not voluntay, but coerced , even forced) . With the Mondale Act of 1974 providing federal funds for every child "rescued" from "abusive" parents and placed in "safe" foster homes, they had their replacement popluation and funding.
All you have to do is connect the dots
The first cause of bureaucratic abuse is sin. But sovereign immunity is a close second. Every organization has petty tyrants in its ranks. But only the state gives them near blanket protection.
There will be no peace until the law stops shielding injustice merely because it is perpetuated by an agent of the state. Until then, outrages like this one will continue to be just the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you. I have to rearrange my world view in some areas.
