TEAR's for Family Continuity

More news on Amariana and records reveal many more injuries than are reported in the documents provided by Sacramento County CPS! No matter what the risk to the child is, Sacramento County has proved over and over that they will place a child in a possible lethal environment to protect themselves and reduce any financial risk/loss resulting in accurate reporting of injuries and statistics to children in abusive foster care families and homes. It makes me sick and I've seen this happen over and over. Until 2008 when Senate Bill 39 (2007) went into effect, CPS could protect themselves because records were closed off from review even upon a child's death. Little Amariana Crenshaw sadly passed away in January 2008 and I'm certain that the social workers never thought that the records they were keeping would see the light of day if something tragic actually did happen to Amariana. Actually, I'm certain they thought they were almost in the clear since her parent's parental rights were already terminated. If only they could hurry through the quick adoption process Sacramento County has for foster children, it really wouldn't matter because she'd be out of the system and not their responsibility. 

Amariana's dad tried numerous times to discuss her injuries with social workers and attorneys and they dismissed his concerns on every occasion. One might say they "minimized" his concerns which is a term CPS loves to use! Other than the County of Sacramento's gross negligence and all-out obstruction of justice for Amariana, there are still other's to blame. Judge Dean Peterson who was the presiding judge at the William R. Ridgeway Family Courthouse in Sacramento and all the "referees" as they are called, underneath him! Even more responsible than the blind retired Judge Peterson, is SCA, the group of attorney's that represent the children in Sacramento County juvenile dependency matters...better known as SACRAMENTO CHILD ADVOCATES. Some beautiful advocating they really did for Amariana Crenshaw! In fact, they do such a wonderful job of advocating on behalf of the children in Sacramento County, that the federal government brought a lawsuit against them in 2009 for failure to protect the children and provide effective assistance of counsel! Hmmm, that'll make you think twice before you move to Sacramento with your most treasured assets; your family!
