Michael Volpe On Anomic Age

 Some of the cases discussed:

1) https://theeprovocateur.blogspot.com/2020/08/california-cws-takes-three-year-under.html A California, John Barton, man says he three-year-old son was unjustly taken into state care by local Child Protective Services (CPS) on July 31, 2020. Barton believes his son may have suffered abuse in foster care. Barton and his wife are both products of foster care when they were growing up, and thinks makes him a target when dealing with social services. Barton was denied custody because social services determined that because he struggled with homelessness that he is neglectful of his son. 

Note: Family First Act was applied into law on February 9, 2018, as a part of the Bipartisan Budget Act (HR. 1892). The Family First Act implements reforms to the child welfare system to better meet the needs of families by keeping children with families whenever possible, and using foster care or state placement as a last result. FFA offers support and resources for families to achieve this. It is unclear why John Bartonand his ex partner were not offered help, including securing stable housin, before their son was taken into state care. The FFA is designed to support parents like Barton, who is a loving,involved father who has been able to adequately provide for his son and is just in need of some additional assistance to help get through a challenging situation.

3) https://theeprovocateur.blogspot.com/2020/09/judge-uses-arbitrary-and-capricious.html Haley Luttrell, a mother from Kane County, Illinois, says she unjustly lost custody of her son in family court and her rights have been violated in proceedings. Luttrell was once a primary caregiver to her son and due to the court order, she has become forcibly estranged, and denied contact. Luttrell sought to improve her life, and that of her son, by entering law school, so that she could obtain a career that provided stability and increased financial resources. When Luttrell petitioned the court to temporarily move out of state in order to attend school, it triggered a series of events that resulted in her losing custody.There has never been any allegations or findings of maltreatment against Luttrell. She is now fighting to regain custody of her son, who she has not seen since before the pandemic began.

4) https://theeprovocateur.blogspot.com/2020/09/joannas-incredible-international.html Joanna Shugar was born in England. Her birth mother was a vulnerable teenager living in a group home in England; Joanna was conceived through rape, when her mother was only 13 years old. Authorities pressured the mother to abort but she refused. After birth, social services seized the baby. Joanna was later adopted an American couple, who severely abused her, until she entered Florida's chaotic foster care system.
