Fantastic as it may sound in the twenty-first century, there are numerous organized criminal operations in the United States that kidnap outright or seize children through the child protection system for economic and sexual exploitation. THE SOCIOLOGY CENTER solicits public submission of documentation, records and other evidence of children kidnaped, seized by State agencies, or committed to institutions for criminal purposes.

Current documented examples:

1. A March 13, 2004 public hearing sponsored by United States Representative Joe Baca produced testimony about fraud, corruption, abuse, criminal activity and judicial injustices in the child protection system and process. Rep. Baca called for the public to send in evidence books documenting the problems testified to. THE SOCIOLOGY CENTER has requested those providing evidence books to Rep. Baca's staff also provide a PDF file copy for posting here. The following evidence books have been submitted for posting to date. The name of the main witness for each evidence book links to the PDF file.

   NEW EVIDENCE! CONCEALED 1982 EXPERIMENT RESULTS MADE PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE.
   In 1981 and 1982 The Family Institute of Virginia conducted a federally funded experiment to definitively prove that psychological interventions were effective. This document is the 429 page summary of the data analysis delivering to research project Director Joan Winter the bad news that there were no significant statistical results indicating that psychological interventions had any positive effect. The federally funded research cost about $1,000,000. Failure to deliver a final report is a violation of grant funding conditions. My name appears in hand written instructions because I was a contract member of the research staff. That is how I came to have possession of the original data analysis. James Roger Brown

3. During the 2001 Arkansas Legislative Session, Senate Bill 860, drafted by Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) employees, was discovered to contain provisions that would have required employees to lie about records and facts, even if subpoenaed. Contents of the Bill that would have required DHS employees to lie were discovered because the Bill was mishandled and required special attention. It was never submitted to the Senate for a vote. Sponsors of the Bill were angered because they relied upon DHS Officials to brief them on the contents.

It also documents the existence of a nation-wide agreement among child protection workers to seize and move children with only a telephone call from another State as authority.
   
   
6. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE SWISS CHILD SLAVE TRADE FROM 1850 TO 1950 AND THE CURRENT UNITED STATES CHILD SLAVE TRADE ALSO EXECUTED THROUGH THE PURPORTED CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM
   The recently disclosed Swiss child slave trade (Verdingkinder Scandal) that operated behind a facade of family welfare and child protection from about 1850 to 1950 is identical to the current child slave trade that has developed in the United States child protection system. The Swiss and United States child slave trade systems have the following social processes in common:
   
   • Poor required to register with the Government. (US Public Assistance, Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare and numerous other special programs.)
   • Once registered with the Government, Parents were subjected to ongoing monitoring to determine if "the best interest of the child" was served by removing the child from the home and placing the child in the Verdingkinder system.
   • Children who aged out of the system were not intellectually and emotionally prepared for adult life, especially marital relationships.
   • Decisions about the "best interest of the child" were made by Government employees using subjective criteria.
   • Children auctioned off or distributed under government sanction. (US Child Protection Agencies post pictures of children held for adoption on the internet and foster parents are enticed with additional household income generated by foster children.)
   • Children physically abused, starved, and malnourished by State and foster custodians.
   • Children sexually abused by State and foster custodians.
   • Children murdered by State and foster custodians.
   • Children economically exploited. (In the Swiss system by the middlemen, farmers and businesses using the child labor; In the US system by State employees who wrongfully seize children for federal funds to meet the agency payroll, by psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers filing fraudulent insurance claims and crime victim therapy service provider claims for nonexistent or fictitious child crime victims, and by attorneys, prosecutors, child abuse investigators, juvenile court judges, and civil court judges who exploit false child abuse allegation to sustain their income, power or prestige.)
   • Criminal activity was concealed with the absence of records, falsified records and incomplete records.
   • Government agencies paid fees and subsidies to State and foster custodians who physically abused, murdered, sexually abused and economically exploited children.
   • Law enforcement agencies ignored or covered up criminal acts against children by State and foster custodians.
   • When prosecutions did occur for crimes against Verdingkinder, the punishment was minor compared to the crime.
   • The operation intended to benefit poor families and children became an organized criminal enterprise economically, physically, and sexually exploiting children.
   • Government officials and media not directly involved in the criminal activity refused to believe that a child slave trade could have developed in a civilized nation like Switzerland.
   • The economic exploitation of children in the Swiss system did not end until a cheaper means of farm production than child slave labor was found.
   • The Swiss child slave trade also expanded and operated outside of Government control. (The private purchasing and sale of children in the US is conducted by private child brokers and child adoption attorneys.)

   SWISS VERDINGKINDER SCANDAL ARTICLES
   "No one could help me escape" By Kim Wilsher (Filed: 14/03/2004)
   "Historian reveals tragedy of Swiss child trade," February 29, 2004.

CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE

When reviewing this intelligence about internal child protection systems methods, procedures, and decisionmaking processes, note the general absence of such key terms as "organized crime," "exploitation," "science fraud," "science crime," "corruption," and "structural corruption." Also note the close working relationship between elements of the child protection system and nonprofit organizations that are proxy organizations for the special interests of mental health and social work practitioners. Proxy nonprofit organizations function to channel increasing numbers of children into mental health counseling, mental health medication, and social work counseling and supervised family interaction.

When the organized crime and structural corruption in the United States Child Protection System is finally revealed it will make those responsible for the Swiss Verdingkinder scandal look like pikers.

The California [NOTE: Link removed due to malware advisory] Children's Advocacy Institute [NOTE: Link to CB_2002-03/exec_sum_2002-03 PDF removed due to malware advisory] of the 2002-2003 State Budget summarizes the treatment of California youth emancipated from State Foster Care at age 18. This information about youth emancipated from California and Washington State foster care should be compared with the accounts of adult survivors of the Swiss Verdingkinder child slave trade scandal (1850-1950) reported in the media.
   
   "Emancipation from Foster Care.
   Helping foster youth transition to independence at the age of 18 has become politically popular. New funds are promised from federal and state sources. But the scale is insufficient given the population and need. The optimistic amount available for living expenses from state and federal accounts promised will provide about $250 per month. For many emancipating youth, such a sum may not be of any effective assistance at all for vocational, college or other higher education. If one must earn $400 to $700 per month for rent, another $180 per month for food, $150 per month for utilities and other essentials, assistance of $250/month may still not allow higher education opportunity. TANF assistance for these youth before the age of 18 is $520 for a mother with one child, plus $150 in food stamps. These now emancipated youth are not eligible for such aid unless they have children themselves. It is difficult for most adults who come from homes and families to be fully aware of the reality facing someone who is about to turn 18 years of age and has been told to leave a group home or other caregiver. There is no home or family to fall back upon. No room and board continuation. There is little safety net, and none that would allow deferral of full-time immediate work—on the disadvantageous terms available to an 18 year old lacking higher education. The help that a responsible parent provides for a child of 18 remains missing from the state (and federal) budget for these “children of the state.”"

   Despite an extensive literature review regarding child abuse investigation decisionmaking, noticeably absent is any reference to the experiment reported by Thomas M. Horner and Melvin J. Guyer in "Prediction, prevention, and clinical expertise in child custody cases in which allegations of child sexual abuse have been made: Prediction rates of diagnostic error in relation to various clinical decisionmaking strategies." Family Law Quarterly, 25(2), 1991.(Horner and Guyer, p. 228)
   
   This Washington State study tends to confirm suspicions that caseworker decisionmaking is dominated by the logical fallacy, "If we must err, we must err on the side of the child."
   
   
   "However, one of the most interesting findings associated with the finding decision is that risk factors over and above the incident factors are related to the substantiation decision. One would expect factors related to the incident to be the key determinants for the finding decision. The finding decision itself is to answer the question: “was this child abused and/or neglected or did this specific alleged incident occur?” One would expect the presence of physical injury (that was not accidental) to be the primary influence on the decision “did this happen or not?”" (p. 5)

No one wants to deal with explaining how children taken into State protective custody end up in child prostitution rings or receive unnecessary medical treatment and mental health therapy, all of which produce child fatalities annually. As I have demonstrated elsewhere, detecting organized crime in the child protection system is not that difficult once you bother to look.]

      UK firm tried HIV drug on orphans

      GlaxoSmithKline embroiled in scandal in which babies and children were allegedly used as 'laboratory animals'

      Antony Barnett in New York
      Sunday April 4, 2004
      The Observer

      Orphans and babies as young as three months old have been used as guinea pigs in potentially dangerous medical experiments sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, an Observer investigation has revealed. British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline is embroiled in the scandal. The firm sponsored experiments on the children from Incarnation Children's Centre, a New York care home that specialises in treating HIV sufferers and is run by Catholic charities.

      The children had either been infected with HIV or born to HIV-positive mothers. Their parents were dead, untraceable or deemed unfit to look after them.

      According to documents obtained by The Observer, Glaxo has sponsored at least four medical trials since 1995 using Hispanic and black children at Incarnation. The documents give details of all clinical trials in the US and reveal the experiments sponsored by Glaxo were designed to test the 'safety and tolerance' of Aids medications, some of which have potentially dangerous side effects. Glaxo manufactures a number of drugs designed to treat HIV, including AZT.

      Normally trials on children would require parental consent but, as the infants are in care, New York's authorities hold that role.

      The city health department has launched an investigation into claims that more than 100 children at Incarnation were used in 36 experiments - at least four co-sponsored by Glaxo. Some of these trials were designed to test the 'toxicity' of Aids medications. One involved giving children as young as four a high-dosage cocktail of seven drugs at one time. Another looked at the reaction in six-month-old babies to a double dose of measles vaccine.

      Most experiments were funded by federal agencies like the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Until now Glaxo's role had not emerged.

      In 1997 an experiment co-sponsored by Glaxo used children from Incarnation to 'obtain tolerance, safety and pharmacokinetic' data for Herpes drugs. In a more recent experiment, the children were used to test AZT. A third experiment sponsored by Glaxo and US drug firm Pfizer investigated the 'long-term safety' of anti-bacterial drugs on three-month-old babies.

      The medical establishment has defended the trials arguing they enabled these children to obtain state-of-the-art therapy they would otherwise not have received for potentially fatal illnesses.

      However, health campaigners argue there is a difference between providing the latest drugs and experimentation. They claim many of the experiments were 'phase 1 trials' - among the most risky - and that HIV tests for babies were not a reliable indicator of actual infection and therefore toxic drugs could have been given to healthy infants. HIV drugs are similar to those used in chemotherapy and can have serious side-effects.

      Vera Sharav, president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, said the children had been treated like 'laboratory animals'.

      'These are some of the most vulnerable individuals in the country and there appears to be a policy of giving drug firms access to them,' she said. 'Throughout the history of medical research we have seen prisoners abused, the mentally ill abused and now poor kids in a care home.'

      Sharav has urged the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate and has demanded full disclosure of all adverse effects suffered by the children, including deaths. Brooklyn Democrat councillor Bill de Blasio is also demanding that New York's Administration for Children's Services, which approved the trials, reveal who gave consent and on what grounds.

      Glaxo has confirmed it provided funds for some of the experiments but denied any improper action. A spokeswoman said: 'These studies were implemented by the US Aids Clinical Trial Group, a clinical research network paid for by the National Institutes of Health. Glaxo's involvement in such studies would have been to provide study drugs or funding but we would have no interactions with the patients.

      'Generally speaking, clinical research is carefully regulated in the US and it would be the responsibility of the appropriate authorities to ensure all subjects in a clinical trial provided appropriate, informed consent to conform with all local laws and regulations regarding legal authority in the case of minors.'

      The Incarnation trials were run by Columbia University Medical Centre doctors. Columbia spokeswoman Annie Bayne said there had been no clinical trials at Incarnation since 2000 and that consent for the children was provided by the Administration for Children's Services, which uses a panel of doctors and lawyers to determine whether the benefits of a trial for each child outweighs the risks. 'There are many safeguards in the system. HIV is eventually a fatal disease, but drug therapy has lengthened life significantly,' said Bayne.

      A spokesman for Incarnation said: 'The purpose of the trials was to test the efficacy of HIV medication ... These trials were based on scientific evidence of their potential value in the treatment of HIV-infected children.'

    • Florida is an excellent case study that demonstrates the central flaws in the United States Child Protection System. On paper, Florida has a sophisticated Child Protection System management structure. In January 2001 four year old Rilya Wilson vanished while in Florida State custody. Her kidnaping went unreported for 16 months because records in her case were systematically falsified. This case was not a fluke. The systematic falsification of case records and evidence in child abuse allegations and investigations is a nationwide problem. The sophistication and competence of any management system is rendered irrelevant when the information it uses to make decisions is falsified.
