Since Carlos Morales left his career as an investigator for Child Protective Services, he has helped families throughout the country fight for their children both in and out of court. His pursuit of a radical overhaul for child protection programs has taken him from university lecture halls, to television and radio studios, and the pages of a variety of publications. This has culminated into the publication of his new book, Legally Kidnapped: The Case Against Child Protective Services (http://www.legallykidnapped.net/) I just downloaded this book on my kindle and plan to start reading it tonight.
In this article by Carlos Morales, he tells his story:
I’m Guilty of Child Kidnapping for the State
https://carlosmorales.liberty.me/
My name is Carlos Morales and I was an investigator for Child Protective Services, and I’m guilty. I’m guilty of what many other American Citizens are guilty of, which is the belief that CPS has the child’s best interest in mind when it commits atrocity after atrocity. I’m guilty of working for an organization that has hampered freedom throughout the United States, and has caused millions of parents to live in fear. I’m guilty of working for an agency that has done more to carry out the war on drugs than the war against child abuse. I’m guilty of working for an agency that has kidnapped children, thrown them in to foster homes, and destroyed their lives. I’m guilty of working for CPS. Within CPS, I did not help children, I hurt. I did not protect families, I helped ruin them. I did not work to benefit society, instead I helped imprison it. Child Protective Services is an agency which damages and controls society from within, by allowing the State to take over the lives of children. As family judge Bryan Lindsey put, “There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family Court System.”
The vile actions and justification for Child Protective Services and the State in general can be summarized in just one sentence: The inhumanity of humanity knows no bounds when systems are put in place which justifies their injustices. When examining the tyranny by those who’ve worked for the state, when exposing the evils of institutionalized dogmas, when grasping the absurdity of social welfare through collective imprisonment, appeasers of authority will assert that those working within the government are “just doing their job.” No doubt this is true, and a certain part of me believed that while I was a foot soldier for the kidnapping agency, Child Protective Services. When I began working for the agency I had the highest of hopes, I believed I was working for the “best interest of the child.” Now that term haunts me, for all those that speak for the “best interest of the child” – whether that be the police, politicians, pundits, propagandists, abusive parents, and public school teachers – are the least likely to ask the child what they actually want in their life. This is the coercive paternalistic nature of the State, and is at the core of central planners that are innately tyrannical with their progressive tirades that are backed by the threat of guns/force/jail.
Not a day goes by without a pronouncement by those who seek to control through suggestion first and force second, that they have discovered what will solve societies complex issues – know this now, any government regulation/law is a testament to the age old belief that “might makes right.” That might, at its core, is rotten but still those who march off to war against others through the belief in a State refuse to see the gun in the room and the blood on the floor. They’re all standing in blood while bickering about who’s going to get to hold the gun next.
While we bicker about topics and externalities that are mere contradictory abstractions that blur the light of reason, a fair bit of individuals go out and simply “do their jobs.” They’re the cops who arrest and destroy the lives of individuals, whose crimes were without a victim, they are the drone operators who turn bodies into red debris, whose lives were not centered on the destruction of others, and they are the CPS workers who thrust children into abusive foster homes, whose parents were without fault. The blood that the innocent have shed is rendered meaningless by the obedient public which makes excuses for the executioners: “They may have done wrong, but they were simply taking orders.”
This is the callous apprehension towards moral culpability that hinders progress towards peace, and pushes us further into never-ending war and conflict. Excusing tyranny is the must tyrannical action that can be done, for it gives free reign to the bringers of death to stomp over the lives of innocent individuals. An empathetic understanding towards the plight of those who became the soldier, cop, cps worker, etc. is absolutely important, but that empathy can become a weapon when it prevents us from calling a murderer a murderer, a kidnapper a kidnapper, and a thief a thief.
While working for child protective services, I was at odds with my morality – for to act moral would be antithetical to the very nature of the agency. The nature of CPS and the nature of the State are innately parasitical, for rather than create they steal and hinder creativity; rather than progress society forward through open dialogue and non-violent means, they close any dialogue with the most violent of means. Instead of empathetic understanding they provide the world with cages for anyone codified as socially undesirable. Instead of understanding the roots of injustice they perpetuate injustices while swinging at the branches and ignoring the root of all evil.
My previous work in the State is not something that should be forgiven and I will not ask forgiveness of those that I wronged while working for CPS – instead, I attempt with every breath I take to head a warning to any man, women, or child that is ever put in a position to have to deal with them. For a time I was an arm for the state, and now I seek to be a hand to help those who are victims of the state. My guilt is never-ending, and the PTSD that I have suffered from working for the agency is nothing compared to the fear and anguish by parents and children that were victims of the agency. To those who are still working for the system, I beg that you leave now before you hurt another innocent person. I beg those reading this that you work to expose the tyranny that is the State.
The inhumanity of humanity knows no bounds when systems are put in place which justifies their injustices. The key to the salvation of humanity is by embracing truth, and to do that we cannot justify evil in the name of good social tact, pseudo-empathy, irrational intellectualism, and a fear of ostracism. The truth is that I was not working in the best interest of the child while working for Child Protective Services, I was working in the best interest of the State, and I was working for the best interest of tyranny. It was in their interest to ruin the lives of others through the manipulation and kidnapping of children for profit – they turned children into a product that they would sell for cash. Their existence and my actions were justified continuously by every man and woman who stated that the State knew what was in the best interest of the child. The blood is on their hands, and the blood is on my hands. We can never wash it away, but we can help heal wounds and stop it at the core when we no longer justify the necessity of evil. That evil is the belief that violence can be used to help solve social issue – that evil is the belief in a state.

CPS Whistleblower Speaks Out

This next article by Carlos Morales discusses the issues and abuse that occur in Foster Homes in the U.S.
U.S. Foster Homes: Where Good Kids Go To Die
https://carlosmorales.liberty.me/
When we try and contemplate the horrendous truth that there are hundreds of thousands of children in America that are regularly abused, we begin to seek answers for how to fix the issues – do we need more education? Do we need to push out more infomercials in the media? Do we need to just start removing kids from their homes?
Though I can empathize with the later, the government’s attempt at this has not been without severe repercussions that are truly catastrophic, and it is necessary that those who wish to postulate on the positive effects of removal to face the truth: the history of foster homes has been a history of abuse & death.
The History of Foster Homes
The first state backed foster homes in the US weren’t created until the Children’s Aid Society in 1853, where children were removed from homes and became indentured servants for family farms. Then in in 1909,Theodore Roosevelt created a publicly funded volunteer organization that would “establish and publicize standards of child care.”
This is the commonly held history of foster homes, but this is only one aspect of the history – the darker side is one steeped in a eugenics plan created by British and American Aristocrats to prevent the “scourge of savages” which were beginning to bloom in the United States due to the creation of prosperity through the industrial revolution. This led to Hispanic, Black, and Native American families having their children removed from their home and dumped into white foster homes for re-education. They double downed on efforts to prevent the “scourge of savages” coming to the United States by forcibly sterilizing over 100,000 people in the United States. See the “true history of eugenics” interview with James Corbett to get a more thorough history of this.
Current Foster Homes
Though the current foster home system does not emphasize these drastic measures to reduce population size, the current practices have been disastrous to say the least. Before we delve into the grim statistics of foster homes, it must understood that over 85% of removals are not for physical or sexual abuse, and this must be kept in mind when looking at the comparison between how a child was cared for before and after being placed in a foster home.
When looking at these statistics and studies, an individual may bring up the fact that correlation and causation is not the same thing; as in, the harmful effects of these foster homes were simply a result of what the child had experience before being placed and not because of the foster homes. Now again, the abuse that was occurring in their home is not what most would consider abuse, and there was a fascinating MIT study that worked to separate these variables that came up with some startling facts.
The study entitled “Child Protection and Child Outcomes: Measuring the Effects of Foster Care” by Joseph J. Doyle, Jr. discovered that after removing variables which could have deviated or confused the data, Doyle finds that an abused child placed in foster care is 10%-20% more likely to be arrested, 10-20% more likely to become pregnant as a teenager, and 10% less likely to be working when they become an adult than the abused child who was not placed in foster care. That kind of outlines what I’m discussing here.
Abuse in Foster Homes
So let’s take a look at how much abuse actually occurs in these foster homes: first, there are approximately 400,000 children in out-of-home care, in the United States. Almost 10% of children in foster care have stayed in foster care for five or more years. Nearly half of all children in foster care have chronic medical problems. Children in foster care experience high rates of child abuse, emotional deprivation, and physical neglect.
In one study in the United Kingdom “foster children were 7–8 times, and children in residential care 6 times more likely to be abused than a child in the general population”. Let me reiterate that, children are 7-8 times more likely to be abused in foster care than children in the general public.
A study of foster children in Oregon and Washington State found that nearly one third reported being abused by a foster parent or another adult in a foster home
Mental Health & Foster Children
Keeping in mind that only 15% of removals are for physical or sexual abuse, it is startling how much actual abuse is occurring in these foster homes.
Let’s take a look at the mental health of these children. In the Casey Family Programs Harvard study, “More than half the study participants reported clinical levels of mental illness after being in a foster home, compared to less than a quarter of the general population”.
Post-traumatic stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder – known as “Shell Shock” during WWI- is also an incredibly common result of foster homes; for those who’ve not studied the subject, Post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD is an anxiety disorder that may develop after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events, such as sexual assault, serious injury, or the threat of death. The diagnosis may be given when a group of symptoms such as disturbing recurring flashbacks, avoidance or numbing of memories of the event, and (high levels of anxiety) continue for more than a month after the traumatic event. PTSD causes biochemical changes in the brain and body that differ from other psychiatric disorders such as major depression. There are actual detriment physical issues that occur in the brain, namely alterations in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus of these individuals, in some cases these changes are permanent, and have a slew of side effects as a result.
In one study, 60% of children who had experienced sexual abuse in foster homes had PTSD, and 42% of those who had been physically abused while in foster homes fulfilled the PTSD criteria. PTSD occurring to people who’ve been abused may not seem rare, but they’re not the only ones who are dealing with it in these homes. PTSD was also found in 18% of the children who were not abused. These children may have developed PTSD due to witnessing violence in the home. I must reiterated, 18% of children who were not physically or sexually abused in foster homes had PTSD just from things they witnessed in these foster homes, and keeping in mind the fact that children are 7-8 times more likely to be abused in these foster homes, kids who aren’t abused are quite rare. In a study conducted in Oregon and Washington state, the rate of PTSD in adults who were in foster care for one year between the ages of 14–18 was found to be higher than that of combat veterans, with 25% of those in the study meeting the diagnostic criteria as compared to 12–13% of Iraq war veterans and 15 percent of Vietnam war veterans, and a rate of 4% in the general population.
The recovery rate for foster home alumni was 28.2% as opposed to 47% in the general population. Keep in mind, these are just the individuals who were in foster care for one year.
Now this is in no way to speak badly about soldiers, but in the cases in the modern era – i.e. post draft – these troops chose to throw themselves in harms way. Now whether they did that to “fight for freedom” or “fight for a pay check” there was still a choice. These children had no choice whatsoever.
Food Maintenance Syndrome/Bulimia Nervosa
The effects of foster homes are not only effecting these children’s brain development, but also their body. Children in foster care are more likely to suffer from Food Maintenance Syndrome, which is characterized by a set of aberrant eating behaviors of children in foster care. It is “a pattern of excessive eating and food acquisition and maintenance behaviors without concurrent obesity”; it resembles “the behavioral correlates of Hyperphagic Short Stature”. It is hypothesized that this syndrome is triggered by the stress and maltreatment foster children are subjected to. This rare disorder is not the only issue, as Bulimia nervosa is seven times, that’s seven times, more prevalent among former foster children than in the general population.
Pharmaceutical Drugs & Foster Children
Now we have to get into the discussion regarding pharmaceutical drugs in foster homes. For those who’ve not seen my other work regarding CPS, it’s important to note that there is an incentive for children to be labeled as mentally ill as soon as they get into a foster home – the more mental diagnose a child has the more money a foster home is given. A child who’s just been placed in a foster home is likely to have temperamental issues, issues with sleeping and concentration as they’ve just been stripped away from their community, family, school, etc. – in certain cases simply due to false allegations of abuse or a parent’s marijuana use. Now according to a state mental health practitioner, that means the child has a mental illness and not emotional issues that are a result of traumatic event. Now let’s see that in practice.
Studies have revealed that youth in foster care covered by Medicaid insurance receive psychotropic medication at a rate that was 3 times higher than that of Medicaid-insured youth who qualify by low family income. Again, Children who are in foster care are 3 times more likely than poor children in the general public to receive psychotropic drugs.
In a review that took place from September 2003 to August 2004 of the medical records of 32,135 Texas children in foster care 0–19 years-old, 12,189 were prescribed psychotropic medication, resulting in an annual prevalence of 38% of all the children in these foster homes being prescribed psychotropic medication. Keep in mind that this review included children from 0-2 who are not very likely to receive these drugs. Removing those children would undoubtedly reveal a much higher percentage.
Now 41.3% of the 38% who received psychotropic medication received 3 different classes of these drugs during July 2004, and 15.9% received 4 different classes. The most frequently used medications were antidepressants (56.8%), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder drugs (55.9%), and anti-psychotic agents (53.2%). The study also showed that youth in foster care are frequently treated with concomitant psychotropic medication – which means two or more psychotropic drugs at the same time – for which sufficient evidence regarding safety and effectiveness is not available.
In these cases, a new drug is given to a child to mitigate the side effects of another drug. For example a child is given Adderall, a stimulant, which then causes them to have temperamental issues and issues sleeping. Instead of taking the child off the medication, the child is then put on a mood stabilizer and another drug to put them to sleep. The drug interactions in these cases have not been tested in the clinic, so essentially these kids are becoming genie pigs.
The Economic Expense
Now the use of expensive, brand name, patent protected medication was prevalent in the studies regarding foster children. In the case of SSRIs the use of the most expensive medications was noted to be 74%; compared to the general market where only 28% are for brand name SSRI’s instead of generics. The average out-of-pocket expense per prescription was $34.75 for generics and $90.17 for branded products, which is a $55.42 difference. Now that’s the economic cost, which isn’t as important as the mental effects on the children.
The Physical Expense
These drugs are not without severe side effects, including more severe depression, lower IQ, a lack of brain growth in children, suicidal tendencies, emotional aggravation, anger outburst, and those are just the mental side effects; other physical side effects can include stunted growth of organs, weight gain for some, and weigh loss for others.
Homelessness & Foster Children
How do these kids do after getting out of foster care? Three out of 10 of the United States homeless are former foster children. According to the results of the Casey Family Study of Foster Care Alumni, up to 80% are doing poorly—with a quarter to a third of former foster children at or below the poverty line, three times the national poverty rate. Very frequently, people who are homeless had multiple placements as children: some were in foster care, but others experienced “unofficial” placements in the homes of family or friends. Here’s the real kicker, nearly half of foster children in the U.S. become homeless when they turn 18.
Mortality & Foster Children
To finish up here, let’s take a look at mortality rate. Children are 6 times more likely to die in foster homes than if they stayed in an abusive household.
In Conclusion
So let’s do short review of the evidence regarding foster children: foster kids are 7-8 times more likely to be abused than normal children, nearly half will end up homeless, they are 3 times more likely to be put on psychotropic drugs, seven times more likely to develop an eating disorder, more likely to have PTSD than veterans of war and less likely to recover from that PTSD, more likely to become pregnant as a teenager, 20% more likely to be arrested, and are 6 times more likely to die than if they stayed in an abusive household.
Foster Homes are where good kids go to die, and it is time for individuals to acknowledge that when the State “fixes problems” it leads to the blood of the innocent flowing on the floor. We’re all standing in blood, and the majority are asking for more to be shed when they ask for more State intervention.
