I believe that every day, Family Court judges knowingly send children to be sexually abused, physically abused, mentally abused. I came to this conclusion because statistics show that 60% of the children found to be sex trafficked in the United States come directly through the child protective services (CPS) system; 78% are abused and often raped, according to statistics from Patricia’s Children, which works to prevent child abuse.

Judges should know this and be unbelievably hesitant to remove a child from a home.

Judges automatically place gag orders on every family/CPS court case. In my opinion, these orders do not protect the minor children involved, but rather protect the CPS agents, court officials, court-appointed attorneys, guardians ad litem, judges, contract employees, etc., from exposing the corruption they’re engaged in within the court system. Thus, this exploitation has been allowed to expand and accelerate at the expense of hundreds of thousands of children’s lives.

Pennsylvania has zero supervision over CPS. I am begging every senator and representative to pass a law to protect these innocent children.
