5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! My eyes have been opened!, January 12, 1999

By	Sandie Adams, founder of "When Angels Cr... (Glencoe, MN) - See all my reviews

This author fills this book with stories of horror and corruption that will scare the living daylights out of ANY parent! If you've ever believed that our system is only looking out for the best interest of our children, then please think again, and read this book! Your pre-conceived notions WILL be blown right out of the water when you read these chilling true reports of the abuses, tortures and indignities our child protective agencies have imposed on some of the families in our country. As a parent who really does want what is best for my children....this is truly terrifying.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book may scare the hell out of you, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

If you have children this book may save your family. This book may change the way you deal with your family doctor, your child's school, and who you allow into your home. No, I am not paranoid, but there are too many cases documented here of individual rights being trampled, due process ignored, and families destroyed by bureaucracies that are not concerned with what is just. You may also be left with a cynical view of our adversarial legal system -family services workers assert that 'a declaration of innocence is a sign of guilt'. Let's just bind their hands and throw them in the river -you know the rest.

Left unanswered is the secondary question of how family services organizations became dominated by so many wrong-headed people, and how our tax money came to fund them. Are they really so deluded that they think they are doing good, or is there a New World political agenda driving them? Why do prosecutors go along with them? Why do police departments make arrests based on little or no evidence? There are a few good people in these organizations but I am afraid they have been intimidated into silence. Fixing this problem will take politicians willing to fight the tide of it-takes-a-village political correctness. How did it ever get this bad?

After a horrendous child custody case where my wife and I were both accused of abusing my step-children, this book was a God send! We both learned so much that is helping us finally win this war. Brenda Scott's book should be read by every single parent in this country, especially by those who homeschool.
