Book Description

0966025407 978-0966025408 February 1997
In today's society, many undesirable' parental practices are being falsely interpreted as abuse; practices such as home schooling, spanking and other methods of discipline, Bible reading and believing in the Constitution, and even breast-feeding. This results in the prosecution of many innocent parents. Most parents accept plea bargains without knowing the dreadful consequences. They don't know that they are being deceived and manipulated in the name of Federal dollars, and they don't know how to protect their families and their rights. They don't even know they can fight and the odds are overwhelmingly in their favor that they would win.

This book is unique in that it is not an expose' of abuses perpetrated on families by the agents of the state. Rather, it is an intensive how-to manual that teaches exactly how the child savers' use the color of law to violate the rights of parents and destroy the family, and how parents can fight the corrupt child protection system and win. Once the you have learned about the deceitful and illegal tactics that are employed against you in the state's hysterical endeavors to protect children who don't need protecting, the author gives specific actions to take to thwart those tactics. The author operates on the premise that most people don't know their rights, and in not knowing their rights, they effectively have no rights. This book teaches you just what your rights are, and how to peacefully and lawfully protect your rights. It covers every possible aspect related to parental rights and false allegations of child abuse.

The author of Profane Justice is an advocate of spanking, a disciplinary technique that has been recently maligned by so-called experts.' In spite of spankings being universally legal, it is often classified as abuse by the agents of the state, and parents who spank often face child abuse charges for their disciplinary actions. This book examines the fallacy that spanking a child teaches him violence' and discusses when, why and how-to spank effectively, safely and defensively, including disciplining the child who misbehaves in public. It examines other discipline techniques in light of their effectiveness and their potential risks for being charged with child abuse when parents employ them.

The book provides in-depth coverage of what activities put parents at risk of child abuse charges, including a discussion of warning signs that indicate a child could be considering turning them in for abuse. Innocent medical emergencies are often the trigger for abuse charges, and this book teaches how to protect yourself in that situation. It also discusses exactly how the schools are involved in the child protection scam - from actively teaching children that spanking is abuse to casually turning children over to the custody of social services without the parents' knowledge. Once again, the reader is given specific tactics to take to thwart these actions. It exposes the little known truth that social services has little statutory authority, and mainly operates on bluff and intimidation.

Other topics discussed include an examination of the statutory law relating to child abuse, what to expect and how to react when you are under investigation; what to expect when facing criminal or civil court and the ramifications of each venue; what to expect during the trial and how to act in court; how to prepare your defense; how to find a lawyer and what he should be doing in your defense; the benefits, risks and requirements for defending yourself; how to sue the agents of the state when your rights are violated; and a discussion of the jury and Grand Jury. It also contains a section on Supreme Court rulings which uphold parental rights and information on state-employed interview tactics that taint children's testimony. The book closes with nineteen ways to change the law and a plea from a young girl who was dragged into the child protective system after falsely accusing her father of sexual abuse. She claims she learned to do that at school, and when she recanted, nobo! dy would believe her. The appendix includes a list of resources for the falsely accused and a bibliography.

More About the Author

Suzanne Shell describes herself as a mom who has researched and written extensively on the issue of child welfare. As a former foster child, she knows firsthand the life-long detrimental effects visited upon a child that are caused by well-intentioned government interference into a family's autonomy and privacy without justifiable cause. Accordingly, her viewpoints reflect the importance of their own parents and extended family in the life of a child.

She acknowledges that this is a radically unique perspective in the child welfare industry, yet it is not as inconsistent with the states' mandates to protect children from child abuse and neglect as the states would have the public believe. To that end, Ms. Shell has created uniquely powerful and effective alternatives to "business as usual" practiced by both the professionals who administer these cases and families who are the subject of these cases.

Her books and other writings spawned the grassroots family rights movement in the 1990's. Her strategies have proven to be so successful that they have been duplicated and disseminated by virtually every organization advocating for the fundamental human right to family association and parental rights.

Her work includes the creation and presentation of accredited Continuing Legal Education courses for professions who practice in this area of law, as well as training and education for family members involved with child welfare agencies, and for professionals who administer these cases.

She has traveled the county, testifying before legislative bodies, and speaking on this subject to public assemblies and offering her own presentations for fifteen years.

4.0 out of 5 stars The why and how our families are being raped by the states., June 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Profane Justice: A Comprehensive Guide to Asserting Your Parental Rights (Paperback)
I read this book out of a need to find out why my children were being illegally seized by the state agency CPS (child protective services). This book gives detailed information on the techniques used to take our children and the why's and how's this is done. Most Americans naively trust government at it's face value and the reality of their true agenda is revealed in this book. It's alarming to find that no one is safe from the agency that takes the children of innocent families and exploites them to their own advantage. This book gives in detail the underlying reasons that no one is immune from having their children taken away and sometimes never returned.

It also shows that depravity of this agency's denial of an individual's constitutional rights. The fact that one is innocent until proven giulty is never acknowledged by the agency that takes your children from you for unfounded reasons. They not only take your children, they also take your dignity, your financial stablity, your reputation and anything that you value in life all for their own financial and political gain. This book traces how the federal government finances this atroscity by allowing the state governments to defraud it of millions in funds.

I can't touch on all the ways this book reveals the things in this industry that are corrupt and vile. But, the facts are substantiated in this book and it's a must read for anybody who has children and wants to protect them from losing their American right to live free and happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars CPS---Neither Protective nor Helpful to Children, December 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Profane Justice: A Comprehensive Guide to Asserting Your Parental Rights (Paperback)
Suzanne Shell is still active in Colorado helping families who have had children unfairly kidnapped by the state of Colorado.

She is part of a larger network of parents who are actively challening CPS throughout the US. One such group is CPSWatch.com. Another group is in Utah and is at the Website Nationaloutrage.org

CPS can force you into testifying against yourself. One would be well advised to not say anything to CPS, as Ms. Shell advises. Should they want to see your children, let them look through a window.

Recent court cases in CA Calabretta v. Floyd confirm that caseworkers need warrants to enter homes. As of August, 1999.

Parents have been disempowered by CPS. CPS is notorious for neither providing services, nor for helping children, merely dumping one-half million children into foster care in the US.The agency operates with virtual immunity, little oversight, and not much accountability.

Parents must network to defeat this Federal program which has been very efficient in providing jobs for caseworkers and service providers, but not helpful to families.

In many cases, they have torn families apart.
