What a shame that politicans want to run for the Excutive Chair of the land with no care for the Minnesotan children. Vote with your human side folks and not on what you hear from politicians who just want to stay in power doing nothing for the children of our land.

One of the main reasons so many poor children are statistically at risk is because their parents are simply too poor to afford an aggressive defense in Family Court. They have become a part of the stats and a part of the lie being perpetuated by the child abuse industry. What we now have on our hands is a system run by zealots who believe that money=good, no money=bad. The children of the poor are taken away from their families for any trivial reason having nothing to do with abuse or neglect and displaced with middle class families who, despite having abundant financial resources, are paid very well to foster and adopt these children of the poor. For much less, we could help poor children and their families create a better life for themselves. Historically, some of our greatest citizens have come from humble beginnings. We must stem the arrogance and sense of entitlement that permeates child protection. Children are being brutalized and murdered in foster homes and adoptive homes. This system simply does not work!!
