This story is such a sad commentary on the true state of affairs in this once great nation. Although no link has yet been proven tying this woman directly to bribes from so-called "child protective" "services" (CPS), the agency certainly greatly benefited from her false "positives" in several known cases, with many, many more suspected. Obviously, this type of thing has become typical in many areas of the CPS milieu, including agents that lie routinely, hired "experts" that lie on behalf of CPS in court, etc.
But this particular case really takes the cake. An Alabama lab owner has been arrested and released already on a measly 4-figure bail for "fixing" drug tests sent to them by CPS, claiming that innocent parents were drug users. Several children have already been seized FALSELY as a result, and none of these families have yet been reunited.

Here is an excerpt:
"The Owner of A & J Lab Collections 36-year-old Brandy Murrah has been arrested and charged with two counts of forgery after two women lost custody of their children to the CPS foster system after falsified drug tests showed they had methamphetamine in their system.
Police say they believe Murrah profited somehow from falsifying the reports, but have not yet revealed specifics."
Aha...And why is it that police are not revealing "specifics." Does it take all that much imagination to figure out exactly who her paymaster would have been? It has to be either CPS directly, or the adoptive parents or "foster homes" or whatever other agency/group ended up with the kids. Why is it that government employees always feel the need to cover for the evil actions of other government agencies?

Here is another brief excerpt:
"Prosecutors say more charges are expected against the owner as investigators scramble to determine exactly how many people lost custody of their children. Authorities fear this is just the tip of the iceberg and expect to find a 'tidal wave' of botched CPS foster care cases, where children were taken from their parents and placed in custody of the state.
Murray secured a contract with the Department of Human Resources Dependency court to perform paternity and drug tests on individuals involved in child custody cases or dependency (CPS) court — even though she was arrested in 2013 and found guilty of five counts of credit card fraud."
Here again, we have another example of the extremely poor "vetting" of employees and contractors by CPS. But, even worse is the fact that the "fix" appears to already be setting in here, considering the extremely low bail that put this woman right back onto the streets, and the fact that the police obviously know more about the other end of this connection than they are willing to say. No typical citing of "ongoing investigation" here yet, either. Hmmm....
How much you wanna bet we NEVER get the details as to who her paymasters are, and that she gets some sweetheart sentence and the case just oddly goes away...forgotten... like so many other incidents of blatant CPS judicial injustice.
We'll try to keep an eye on this as it moves forward for you, and we will report back if anything good actually does happen to bring justice for these poor parents and their unjustly seized little ones.
