"Father, forgive them, ..."

 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"...

My older daughter is going to Church now with her father.  Today she learned that she needs to run away from the sin and towards God and keep running without looking around from what I gathered from our short conversation. 

When I asked her: "Why are you running?"

Her young still molding mind did not understand what I meant.  I had to ask her: "Why are you running, can you not be standing?  Can you not find God if you are standing?"

She explained to me that she has to be running in order to run away from the sin.  I further wondered: "Do you know where you are running?"  She said: "Towards God."  I said: "Where is he?" she couldn't think of the answer right away but then somehow we came to "everywhere".  So I asked her again: "So do you think you have to run to find God?" 

She said:" I have to run away from the sin."  I said: "OK.  Where is the sin?"  She said: "Everywhere".  I said: "So if sin is everywhere and God is everywhere why do you have to run?"

I felt the struggle of my child seeking for the right answers to the hypothetical questions, trying to get it right, not for me, as in her eyes right now I am always wrong...but for her father who is insisting on supervising all of our communications.  This is the same father that stated in Court that our children are very mature and they are mentally equipped to understand adult content and he spoke to them about the Court proceedings and what they are to do...  That part I do believe: he told them what to do.

These conversations with my children are normally very scaled down to: what we had for breakfast, lunch, school, homework, anything fun they did or not...it's like pulling teeth.  It is very disheartening to see them so closely supervised that they are afraid to be themselves that my chatter boxes lost all the words and try to mind every word they say while speaking to their mom.

It is no fault of theirs...  I understand what they feel right now.  I was a child.  I was told what to do and say for years of my life.  Doesn't mean I liked it.  But it is very disappointing that their ability to wonder in their imagination has been caged by the desire to please those of authority around them.  I have never judged them on what they said, I could say something like: that is inappropriate, or this is too much, or I am disappointed in something.  But...no subject was taboo, if they wanted to talk, they could talk my ears off all day and all night.  And they did...

My older children now think that they need to run away from me, from my husband, from all the sin in the world...  But do they even know what sin is?  Do they know where they are running?  Where is their Sheppard taking them?  Who is their Sheppard?  And what exactly are they afraid of?  Who made them afraid?  Who put that fear in them?  Who feeds on that fear?  Who wins when they are afraid?

In the fight between good and evil, good does not run.  Good waits for an opportunity to shine and be good. 

Kids will be kids, but adults...  "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Jesus wept and cried and begged the people to be kind to one another and what are we doing...  When one has to die for us to take them seriously - we are far from perfection. 

We may not be perfect.  But we can try every day to be better than we were yesterday.  We can try every day to be kinder, it's not as hard as being smarter...  You don't need to be smarter, you just need to be kinder to be the best, the wisest individual in town.  

Protect family values.  Protect our children.  Protect our parental rights.  Our children are the only hope we have for the future. 

Support DFPS reform and Innocent Tears Act.  Forgive those who have done you wrong and be free.  Someone said once: forgiveness doesn't free the one that is forgiven it frees the one that forgives.

Innocent Tears Act

  PROPOSED BI LL TO BE ENTITLED INNOCENT TEARS ACT By Marina Burroughs INTRODUCTION The proposed Bill is in relation to the procedures for taking possession of a child by the Department of Family and Protective Services and is dedicated to my child, K. B. who fell a victim of the flawed system and has suffered the hardest heartbreak of her life and a life-long trauma at such a young age. No child should be a victim of the system that was put in place to protect the children. Parents are not criminals and deserve to be treated as such - the most important people in the child’s life.  Not many parents truly neglect and abuse their children, those that do end up having serious criminal charges.  No child and no parent should have to go through unwarranted separation unless there is serious sufficient physical evidence to suggest that the child is being neglected and/or abused. Hearsay allegations and simply stating “it’s in the best interest of the child” must not be suffici...

The Holly Trinity of CPS Prosecution

 There are three main components to CPS, currently DFPS, prosecution: case workers, prosecutors and the Judge.  Whatever the caseworkers want to call themselves nowadays, and whoever they work for, the contractors or DFPS itself, - all of those are just flashy titles. There are investigators, placements specialists, supervisors - they are all just plain case workers with the room for growth within this cruel field of State level parental alienation industry. Once you have been marked for DFPS Investigation DFPS Investigator comes knocking on your door, or ambushes you or your children in school or any other establishment, as the whole State is their jurisdiction and a "playground".  Anything you say from that point is subject to interpretation and will be interpreted in the favor of separation of the child with the parents.  Case workers work closely with the prosecutors, to the point that the prosecutors will promise the case worker protective order and give them th...

Bill of Rights Optional

In my dealings with DFPS I appear to have no rights.  Not only I have no right to life, liberty, fare prosecution, Grand Jury, being secure in my person, house, property or effects, but I don't even have the right to be silent! Don't even mention second amendment because you will never get your child back! There is nothing voluntary about the relationship where oppressors take your child, take all your freedoms and fight with unlimited funds at their disposal to not give your freedoms and your child back.  So through these dealing with DFPS I cannot help but to question: Is the Bill of Rights optional?  Is it sort of like an old Diploma that you hang on the wall in the office with the degree that is not even relevant to your actual position so we can show off to the whole world: "Look, We the people have the Bill of Rights!"  ....that we can choose to follow or not to follow... I guess that is also a part of the freedoms we have.  What good are those rights if w...
