Parents should fear the outcome of the Veronica Brown case. All parents, actually. Biological and adoptive. The end result showed a nation that money and connections can forcefully remove a child from her home and force her to live a charade of a life with complete strangers, never to see her family again. We were shown that a corrupt state that sides with child trafficking adoption agencies will just follow through with the sale and force a parent to give up his child for an adoption that was and is unnecessary. An adoption he didn't consent to and fought.
So what is next? Will more affluent couples start browsing the large families at the local market, wondering which child they might want and going through who they need to bribe, rub elbows with or just plain lie to in order to get a judge to sign off on an adoption order and allow them to just swoop in and take the child?
What will be the determining factor? They determined that Dusten Brown had no rights to his daughter due to "lack of support" pre-birth. So, will the affluent adopters use the same argument for taking a child from a poor family? Oh, you used public assistance, so you didn't support the child, therefore have no rights. Let's just pick that one right there. They look young enough to forget you even existed. An expectant mother on state medical assistance could be deemed not supporting her child pre-birth. A poor family needing medical assistance and food stamps for their children. Someone wealthier, more powerful and more connected could easily use the "didn't support the child" argument to claim those parents never had any right to raise the children and have a court forcefully adopt the child out of the family. Not even middle class adoptive families would be immune to this mass scoop of children for the connected and elite. Lose your job and get on unemployment, fall into harder times and need food stamps. All it would take is one of those things to deem you with no parental rights over your children because now you're not supporting them. And the courts and state governors would most likely support all of it. After all, poor parents shouldn't have rights if they're allowing the government to provide for them. Their children belong to the government now and the government decided to hand them off to someone more worthy of parenthood.
Of course, it would only be the cute young ones. They go for a fine price. Young and impressionable. Can't have those older ones who might actually have some memories of their deadbeat genetic donors. The elite would prefer nice little preschoolers and toddlers so they can pass them off as orphans they saved with little to no memory of where they came from. All the better if they can be deemed special needs. Gotta have those fat tax write offs and make sure nobody will dare ask why $100,000 was spent getting their hands on the child.
The state of South Carolina, governor Nikki Haley, judge Daniel Martin Jr and many others have told the nation and the world that anyone can just decide they want your kid and will use any means necessary to obtain your child. They will tarnish your reputation, lie, delude the rest of the world into thinking your child belonged with them from the beginning. And when they finally take your child from you, you'll get stuck with the legal bill.
We might as well just face the fact that we've become breeders for the elite.
Thank you for being a voice for Veronica and all other children who have been taken from their rightful families.
ReplyDeleteAll you need to add is to tell those who are still in the dark. It is all Tea Party dong. The ideas of who is moral and deserving, the idea what is a family (only a a child born to a married couple) it all comes from the Tea Party. The actual actors in this case are also all Tea Party. I know there are good people out there who don't understand what the Tea Party was founded for, and just believe in the slogans.
