<center>Governments around the world,
are using "**Child Protection Agencies**"
to take children away from loving families
and place them in foster care or group homes
or put up for adoption.
**THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.**</center>

Thank-you @canadian-coconut for supporting @familyprotection

Thank you for sharing the story, there is always another side to the story, I am happy that we can use the Steem blockchain to help tell that story and at the same time help those family that needs us the most....

I dont have the right words, but I feel you.

:-(

.

Looking forward to read the other parts.

I thank you Anna for your bravery and willingness to relive the nightmares your family has faced in order to warn others.  I know it is not an easy task.  I look forward to following your story and learning more hard and horrifying truths that these agencies are putting families through.  I’m so sorry that you cannot relax and enjoy Christmas every year but instead you have to celebrate in fear and horrific memories.  Thank you Linda for writing up her story and sharing it with us. God Bless you both~  Upped and Steemed!

All families in the world have problems Problems are the most difficult children have many families who do not give tax to children. They always torture children; children never get their basic needs properly; Children are really helpless, after all families in those families, there are many problems with parents They become the children alone, they become sons, they must be one of them They do not speak loudly, for them, no advantage is the worst comparison of the world. They and parents have taken care of them so much that the world does not care for them. Parents do not care for them, nobody will care for them. All of us should stand beside them. Stand beside children

How awful! It is kidnapping! Terrorism!

Hello @canadian-coconut,

Wow!! This thing happens in the western world. Sad!! 

In my area Africa, Nigeria in particular, i hardly hear of such things. 

I hope a solution will be found for this problem.

Oh yes, it's very sad that it happened in your history and I hope everything became good! Thanks Linda and a happy Christmas!

this is good
First Happy Birthday

Oh sad story but in the same time promising and hope for '' recover '',  do not forget you always have us the Steemit Comunity.

This kind of story must be heard and known by everyone. It's so important to be aware of child trafficking,

Yep, commenting really is powerful. It even earns more than what my post earns. I'll try to comment 10 meaningful comments a day for a week and I'll publish the results. :)

No one can take care of a child more than the child's own parents. So snatching children away from their parents is a kind of child abuse.

It is so important that these stories get heard, only then will people see in front of their eyes what CPS are really doing to families all over the western world.

Thank you Anna for being brave and reliving this horrible event that took place, yet again at the hands of the so called 'child protectors'

And thank you Linda for continuing to do all you can to help families stay together, you have a heart of gold.<br><br>

That is terrible, your kids being taken away from you... oh Anna, i just cant't find the words to say.. 

Thanks @canadian-coconut for sharing their story and raising awareness to such government cruelty. Such cases rarely happen in PH though, hence reading these kinds of stories are actually *shocking* and I cant find sense on these govt policies.

**CPS – The Domestic Terrorist at your front door**

If you are ever approached by anyone from social services, keep in mind that regardless of what they say, most of them are certainly not there to “help” you. 

You might want to end this quickly by letting them in, to show them you have nothing to hide as you are a good parent. DON’T. They are only there to gather evidence against you.

Even if they seem nice and harmless, remember, this is how child protective services makes money. To keep their jobs, they must take away children from their families.They come to your door saying, “I’m just here to help.” The next thing you know, your children are in state custody and you are in court trying to prove your innocence.

Thanks for sharing with us this post. For me i think is coming at the right time, the world at large needs to know and individually sensitizing one another on a daily basis. I think this is a break chain freedom for a family out there. Thank you.

your post is very good, very useful, your post is so inspiration for me and all users of steemit, I am proud of you ... I am amazed to you, you are very fantastic in making a post, hopefully triumph in the work .. Thank you

God...it's so horrible to think that these thing happen - I felt that as I read this . *ugh I don't want to be reading about this*...But we all need to read these stories and be informed about this unspeakable events. We need to know that these things happen too. It's the only way we stand a chance. 

A big thank you for sharing this with the world.

I cannot imagine going through such an ordeal and I find it unbelievable that these things happen in 'so-called civilized societies' - especially as I live in a small former communist country. When I was younger I used to believe the Western world was heaven on earth, which makes it even harder to understand how government agencies can rip families apart and even be praised for their good work.
Sharing such painful stories is essential to raise awarness for everyone -first of all to those living in North America, but for the rest of us as well. Bad things, bad practices tend to spread everywhere and you never know when you could find yourself in a nightmarish scenario. Here where I live I've already heard opinions, even from people in power, that parents who refuse to vaccinate or refuse certain treatments be stripped of their parental rights. It's only a matter of time, I'm afraid.

Christmas is a time for donning festive garb, singing holiday songs, festooning your home in decorations, and giving thoughtful gifts. Of course, all those tasks turn out a bit more twisted when assigned to the denizens of Halloween Town.nice job on this post sir you deserve my vote and follow

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.
:(

I made the mistake several years ago of letting DCF (our CPS) in. My exhusband had left our children at a public boat ramp and went kayaking for several hours. The girls were 12, 9 and 4. The deputies retrieved them and gave them back to me and the exhusband was allowed to go home! I thought DCF was visiting me to get a first-hand account of what happened. They were not. They looked in my refridgerator, freezer, pantry, and asked the girls if i abused them. They then submitted me to a drug test while my baby cried in his crib (a pee test). I was treated as a criminal. The girls were crying thinking I would be arrested and they would be taken away. My husband was a deputy then and came screaming home in his county vehicle. Right away, the two DCF "counselors" began to realize THEY WERE AT THE WRONG HOUSE. The order to investigate had my address under my exhusbands, but they decided to go forward anyway with me! When they finally got to ex's house almost a month later, he had gotten a family member to take out all the beer and trash and buy groceries and stuff. Moral of the story, DONT LET THEM IN!
PS- If they have a warrant, then ya, theyre coming in with law enforcement too. God this just breaks my heart!

Thank you for this canadian-coconut and Anna! Some people arent aware that this even happens! Resteemed!
