Madison, County 2009 budgets are in, let fighting begin!

by Vikki Kratz

Supvs. Sheila Stubbs and Scott McDonell have also proposed spending another $147,000 to hire three new social workers for the county's Child Protective Services division.

The move comes following an incident in 2007 in which a county social worker sent a six-week-old infant home to her abusive mother, who allegedly murdered the child. The full County Board considers the budget next week.

The Six Million-Dollar Dad

by Vincent Ware

Since his class at Cipriani Elementary studied the California gold rush, my youngest child has been fascinated with gold. He has panned for gold with a gold panning kit we bought for the kids.

He has read books about gold. He has even inquired whether he could find gold in the creek at Twin Pines Park. Above all else, he began using the expression "worth your weight in gold" every chance he got. If I made him a sandwich, he said, "Dad, you're worth your weight in gold." If I took a knot out of his shoelaces, he said, "Dad, you're worth your weight in gold." Recently, when my youngest child was telling me I was worth my weight in gold, his older brother chimed in that I would probably be worth a billion dollars in gold.

Child Protective Services: Does boy's death point to larger problem?

by Virginia Black and Mary Kate Malone

A growing number of those involved in protecting Indiana's children are alarmed at the quiet revamping of the state's Department of Child Services - changes they say too often result in a reluctance to act appropriately on reports of abuse and neglect.

A Tribune investigation in the wake of the highly publicized beating death of 10-year-old Tramelle Sturgis in November and the deaths this year of several other Indiana children suggests that centralization, funding cuts and the mandated confidentiality of Child Protective Services is worrying social workers, doctors, program providers and even juvenile court judges.

ALERT: 10,000 Syrian Immigrants Headed To These 180 US Cities

by Vivek Saxena

Last Month, President Barack Obama revealed plans to import tens of thousands of Syrian immigrants - some who could conceivably be terrorists in disguise - into the United States.

Today, we have obtained a document from the State Department that lists the 180 resettlement centers where these refugees are headed. When refugees arrive in the United States, they stay at these centers until they are able to acquire work, housing, etc., all of which are funded by American taxpayers.

Class-action child removal

by Vox Day

The Texas kidnapping authorities are so poorly informed that they aren't even certain precisely how many children they stole from their parents. What they first reported as 416 children seized by the state rose to first to 437, and now to 462.

So, while they can't even manage a simple head count, they nevertheless expect Americans to simply trust their assertion that every single parent of those 462 children constituted a "continuing and immediate danger to their safety" despite the fact that the children are far healthier than the norm, not a single parent has actually been arrested and charged with any form of child abuse and the CPS has publicly conceded that there is no evidence that any of the 130 or more children under five have been abused!
