“absolute autonomy, absolute power”

There are some interesting developments in the California child-snatching case I posted about the other day. Not only are a lot of people outraged by the tyrannical and unaccountable behavior of CPS, but a California state legislator who is trying to look into the matter has discovered that the agency believes that it has an absolute right to operate completely outside the law, and can basically give state legislators the proverbial finger. CPS is not even subtle about it.

On Monday, Anna and Alex Nikolayev were overjoyed when a judge returned legal custody of their baby boy, but they had to agree to future visits by CPS, a prospect that makes them worry about Sammy’s future even after he is released from the hospital.

“I’m not sure who is the higher authority over them. The higher authority needs to look into them because they have a very bad track record, and somebody needs to investigate them,” Alex Nikolayev said in an interview Tuesday.

That higher authority is the Department of Health and Human Services, and Donnelly wrote to the department director when even he failed to get answers from CPS.

“No. I’m not getting any answers. I’m getting this run-around that CPS, whatever they do, they’re allowed to operate in secret, and they’re accountable to no one,” Donnelly said.

Donnelly has also called for a state audit of the agency after hearing from several other parents who described similar incidents.

“I think that we clearly have a government agency, CPS, that does do important work, but they are operating in complete secrecy with absolute autonomy, absolute power,” Donnelly said.

Such absolute power lies at the very definition of tyranny. In this country the bureaucrats and their scumbag henchmen now hold power — not the people, and not even their elected representatives.

So what are ordinary citizens supposed to do, pray tell? Write their legislators?

What a stinking horrible joke this country has become.

In my previous post I said I was glad not to have children, and I was taken to task in the comments, which means I wasn’t making myself entirely clear. I am not actually happy over not having had children in the normal sense. What I should have said is that when the country has lost so much of its freedom that your children are not yours,  in that sense it’s ironically better not to have any. Seriously, if having a child means that government bureaucrats now have absolute power  to enter your home without a warrant, I’d say they have created a disincentive to being a parent.

    If the ordinary citizens had voted for the rational instead of the emotional, we’d be ok. BUT… oh, poor, dear… yada.

    You get what you vote for.
