As our regular readers know, Gumshoe has been on a crusade to stop the crimes being perpetrated in connection with the Family Court system. It is “not funny.” And on December 25 it is especially not funny as many parents are separated from their beloved children.
For today I’ll lay aside the legal stuff I am working on, and Dee needs more days to get her Survey Wrap-up done. But luckily a Commenter sent us a Youtube video that demonstrates the solidarity of people around the world ion this outrageous topic.
The video is hilarious if you choose to interpret it that way. It is a lawyer saying to the judge why it is OK for her to lie in court. It’s dated February 13, 2017.
The man who uploaded it is known as John919. I presume he took his name form the Gospel of John, Chapter 9 verse 19: “And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?”
As of today, the video has had 197, 925, and 1802 Comments. It says everything we have been saying in Australia. Apparently it has all been said before! That is good news – Gumshoe won’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Below I will quote many of the comments — a valuable collection of people who have not met each other, all saying the same thing about their awful experience with CPS. Note: John 919 has 24,000 subscribers to his Youtube channel.
In his introduction, John919 says:
“CPS want to know if they can lie to take your children from you. How can you defend yourself when they lie? This must stop in every State. Search: 400,000 Children go missing in the USA every year and 70% are from CPS and Foster Care… (Reference FBI.gov’s “File repository 2.”) This should be the protest of the people in the streets and the cops should be looking for these missing children and not playing crowed control.”
GumshoeNews will now print the first bunch of comments that appeared under John919’s Youtube video. (About one-fifth of the total.) So just sit back and get some solidarity satisfaction out of these well-written comments, or jump to the video at the end where the lady lawyer gives herself – and the whole project – plenty of rope.
Comments [senders’ names omitted]:
Lady should be locked up for even suggesting it’s OK to lie in a court room.
CPS is all about the money. They don’t care about anything else.
What kind of attorney doesn’t understand perjury is illegal?
This has been going on for a long time to low-income families.
WOW A judge with ethics and knowledge of the law….Thaaaaats something you don’t see everyday! My hats off to you YOUR HONOR!! Getting in this system will drain you of not only your funds but YOUR SANITY…thanks for bringing this up in the video!
How would you like it if a government-funded institution lied in Court to take your children away then put them in foster care and gave them drugs and let them live with strangers?
Leave those kids alone!!! HELP the parents, if need be. Not sell the kids. It’s called “child trafficking”. Big business. Thanks to Bill Clinton.
Ridiculous! All CPS should be shut down. They’re doing more harm than good and they’re the abusers. They need to serve prison time.
Should call CPS on her and take her children from her, its just a little lie after all right?
Do I get that correctly, she’s a legal representative of CPS and wants immunity for perjury given to CPS officials that lie in Court? Lying in court is not wrong, it’s criminal.
They shouldn’t t even be giving a chance to speak! They should just be thrown in jail. because it is basically illegal to steal someone’s kids from their homes and lie about it.
This “lawyer” learned her arguments from Hillary Clinton.
I live in Spokane and CPS here lies and lies! They seem to be able to harass parents and they get away with it! The middle Judge hit it on the nose that it is low income people who cps lies and takes their kids!!
If only every judge was as good as this guy, other cases the judge is on the same side as CPS and that’s just a mess.
Shocking!!!!!! CPS and Social Workers LIE under oath!!!!!
This lawyer should be thrown in jail for stupidity!
Child trafficking, and low income families cause of social engineering.
What’s interesting to me is that parents and children’s rights are being violated before we get to a hearing like this one. If CPS is asking for constitutional permission to bring false evidence before the court it means they have already been doing that for some time now.
It’s probably so rampant they can’t cover it up anymore. So they thought they would get Permission from the court. Good for these judges calling out CPS here and calling it what it.
That old white judge is my spirit animal.
CPS always lie and twist things to steal children off innocent family’s! They get paid to take kids off families and money is involved so you know it’s going to be corrupt to the core.
CPS are all about destroying families and getting paid to do it and that’s the bottom line to it all.
I knew someone years ago who hated CPS so much that he went to their offices at night after a few beers and pissed all over their ‘Kidnap Cars’, taking extra care to cover their driver’s door handle.
This is why all PS/DHS workers need and should be shot period !!
Yes… CPS does falsify documents…it’s called “Security Protocol.” This representative is lying through her teeth…In court!
Man, our founding fathers are rollin’ in their graves!! I don’t even recognize this U.S. of A.
This woman is morally and ethically impaired.
CPS needs to be stop and sued or need stop them for good.
These satanic Monsters will pay one day for their crimes against the children.
OMG is that really what they are arguing? OMG.
Never let DCF in your home unless warranted. By letting them in your home you give them an opportunity to say that your home is a mess, untidy, that they saw alcohol, and medications visible and within reach of child, no child locks on cabinets, open windows where a child could fall out, etc.
DCF shows up at your door for only one reason, to find evidence that you are an unfit parent and that your home is not safe for a child, that you don’t speak appropriately to your child, etc.
If your home is neat and tidy and you are an excellent Mom then many DCF investigators and social workers will simply fabricate evidence to use against you in court.
90% of DCF workers and investigators are corrupt-rotten to the core. They live in their own matrix and choose to ignore the spiritual realm in which we all truly live. Yes, there are some DCF employees who care about children and families.
Do you really want to play Russian roulette with your children and family by letting a DCF employee into your home? If they had enough evidence to kidnap your child, they would have shown up with a court order and police. the fact that the social worker showed up alone indicates they don’t have enough evidence to commit a court ordered kidnapping of your child.
If you are low income, jobless, on disability, or live in low-income housing or a poor neighborhood, DCF will prey on you upon the first complaint they receive. Once DCF has custody of your child, it is highly possible that your child will suffer irreparable emotional and psychological harm of which no amount of intensive trauma therapy can fix.
DCF obtains custody, they will attempt to alienate you from your child, and say nasty things about you to your child. My investigation of DCF employees in Worcester, MA. office indicates that some of these workers had suffered traumatic childhoods including rape and incest and therefore prey on children in vengeance for their own destroyed childhood.
In the words of Jesus, it would be better if that person would hang a millstone around their own neck and be tossed into the ocean than for that person to hurt a child. Please pray for the conversion of all D.C.F. workers in the United States.
CPS, DCF, CYS they all are criminals of America. Accusing good parents of child abuse because that’s an excuse of kidnapping your kids and send them to the foster care to be abused by the foster parents and murder and then the system covers it up.
They made too much money by taking the kids against their will. They don’t worry about the real kids that are being abused because they pick on the innocents.
CPS got my 3 kids I’m going to stop them for good.
They do it all the time in California, more so in Sacramento.
They lie all the time.
They are not just going after low-income people anymore because they’ve gotten most of their kid it seems but after living in a large city for the past 20 years I now know that a teacher with no criminal record not even a speeding ticket can have her kids taken away for nothing.
CPS DCF whoever will lie in court and the person who is my worker who lied was not even licensed yet making $72,000 a year.
Thank you for making this public. Bless you and the research you’ve done.
I am a 16-year-old and they took me from my mother. I need your help!
She is 100 per cent left wing, listen to her logic
Thank you to the person that put this video to expose the truth it’s a proven fact 99.9% of the time that a child is better off to remain with the parent than going into a system of pedophiles, freaks, money hungry individuals.
I thought, lying in court while on oath is an offence, or are they changing the rules to suit them selves, social services have been kidnapping and child trafficking for centuries.
I’m so disgusted! I thought my situation happened to be a “miscarriage of Justice” and I’m coming to a sad realization, It’s more like status quo!!!!!!
Thank you for the video! I live in Canada and a bill was passed (imposed and enforced) that gives the state incredible levels of totalitarian control over your child. Your hands could be behind your back while your child gets moved into foster care if you try to teach Christian values to your child.
There is an elite pedophile ring operating at top levels of government, Vatican, Jesuits, judges, and in the entertainment industry that would then have access to your child. SICKENING!!!!!
Absolutely sickening. Evil people.
Thanks for sharing. We must expose this evil.
How is she a lawyer? does she not know it against the law to lie In court a false evidence? but only according to moral and ethics? she arguing with them lie and use false evidence in court?
That judge is magnificent. How can ANYONE justify LYING?!?!
Here in TN this happening as well. Heartbreaking!!!
These workers in Wisconsin do it on a regular. Lying is a great part of their orientation.
It’s happening to me and my family right now.
See that lawyer standing there, trying to act like it’s not 100% clear that a government worker would understand that committing PERJURY to steal someone’s children is WRONG and ILLEGAL? She doesn’t even believe her own BS, but she’ll stand right there and with a relatively straight face, make this argument–FOR MONEY. THAT’s why I quit being a lawyer–and why 10 years later I’m still working on getting my soul back.
CPS is a total waste of tax money. Well…most of the system is.
Thank you for this. I’m dealing with CPS. My kids have been apart from my husband and I for 8 months and we have done EVERYTHING that they have asked. We have come up positive for drugs we have never used. And it’s always at a point where we are about to get ahead in our case. Up pops a random dirty drug test for drugs I know I didn’t do.
Why… of all the things I did in my fight… why did I not think of suing them for perjury? They (CPS) were reprimanded for falsifying documents and reports (two caseworkers and their supervisors) in my daughter’s case. I figured that would open a whole new investigation which would have no problem in seeing that I am a fit parent, but no. They kept my children and continued on with the original accusations just like nothing had happened.
Each time I went to court to get a new list of hoops to jump through until the next court date (and this went on for five years because I refused to give up). I told the absolute truth while CPS lied with every other word and still the court always ruled in their favor.
What made things worse… my children were split into two foster homes. My son and daughter went a year and a half without seeing each other and only then because I was able to schedule their visitations on the same day and at the same place.
I LOVE this guy!! I got a li’l boost in hope for humanity.
Go after that president for human trafficking and CPS kidnaping human trafficking.
D.A.’s and attorneys and sheriffs’ detective who are all involved in their own criminal actions and them whom covered for them of doing their own crimes of the fake family court.
We are victims of the huge, huge big crime that went on for 16 years and I have my own proof of mine to bring into the high courts or federal court for the courts to see my proof of my family has and to get justice be done convicting these criminals of their own crimes “NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE”
The testimony and evidence presented by all government agents in all circumstances is suspect.
Parents no longer have “clearly established” or constitutional rights in regards to their children. That is frightening since an anonymous phone call can start an investigation.
THE VIDEO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii0OmbwfaoE&t=21
Sending all those protective parents and those who support them — and still get arrested for doing so — a message of good wishes today.
And now for:
“If you are one of the pawns/employees being used in this world game of chess to attack your fellow men, women, and their offspring & elderly parents, destroying countless innocent families, it’s time to wake up to the fact that you have been systematically compartmentalized, in order to remove your cognitive dissonance so that you can sleep at night. Unfortunately, you have been deceived and are violating people’s natural rights, which you have no authority to do. …”
What strikes me more than anything about this clip is the fact that the CPS Cow doesn’t state the legal basis for the visit and the Mom doesn’t ask her to do so, e.g:
MOM: Can you give me a copy of the law that authorises this call?
CPS: I’m not required to
MOM: So what, exactly are the legal requirements of your job ?
CPS: That’s none of your business
MOM: So that’s a private matter ?
CPS: I didn’t say that
MOM: Well if you’re acting on behalf of a government entity you’re obliged to disclose the overarching authorisation. As you haven’t and clearly aren’t prepared to do so you have, in fact, committed trespass and your continued presence constitutes intimidation and harassment. You may not understand that but that’s beside the point; if you don’t leave immediately I’ll have to call the Police.
Another suggestion:
MOM: So that anonymous report was recorded by you or somebody else?
Are you acting on your own volition or according to a Superior’s directive?
And his/her name is?
And who is his/her boss ?
The point is that, if someone comes to hound you should always be on the ready to deal with them in kind.
The lack of authorisation is, in fact betrayed at 1:30 , quote, “so our policy is……….”
Why doesn’t she say “section XX of the CPS Act authorises us to do W, Y & Z” ?
Pretty obvious really
Government hierarchies are far more important than most people think: When a complaint to an elected Member is deferred to a non-elected bureaucrat (“ thankyou for your letter to the Hon….. He’s asked me to reply on his behalf”) those concerned need to be reminded that such a response is legally nul and void.
CPS in Dallas, Tx. follows the exact same procedures. Our attorney happen to be the asst. DA that had just one elect. our case was her last before she took the bench. When I told her the case worker lied on the paper work. Falsified on 5 of us. However I had valid proof to depunk each one of her statements. She was going to try and tell the courts that none of us wanted my new grandson etc. When I told our assigned Att. Her reply was; she did not doubt that. Said they see it every day, every case! I was floored. I said well I have solid proof on all. She said it doesn’t matter they do it all the time. She did not even address it. They still kept my grandson the first six weeks of his life. And sent the other grandfather (not grandmother) add. Only to grandfather adoption papers!!!!
This is proof of it all. I live in Texas. but was researching Calif. Sex Ed. Program and it’s crazy. Got on site of recent bills that had been passed related to children. Alot that is going to scare the h out of you. FOSTER KIDS! The state will pay for FOSTER children to start taking gender assignment medication at puberty 10 -12. Medicine that is dangerious AND will pay for their sex assignment SURGERY! !! That is crazy and sick! FOSTER children gender change and at that age! They won’t pay for braces but they are willing to do. Sick what are they doing to our kids. We have to do something.
Dee. This is exactly what I observed and to a degree experienced in Alice Springs earlier this year. It would be good to set up a screen out side the family Court in Melbourne and show this video. I experienced two and a half hours of this trying to make a general enquiry about a custody matter that I was asked to attend due to my knowledge of both parties circumstances and the cultural history and implications. During that time in the waiting area I observed a most amazing system of operations and watched the “clients” being dealt with, disempowered and controlled with mechanical worn out staff going through the motions, mostly referring people to another queue or requiring them to get cash and come back with more forms.
Needless to say I was given the run around–when my number was first called up after an hours wait I was sent to a counter where someone else was being attended to–then two people from the inner sanctum came out and they looked up the screen had some intense conversations and alterations took place while the other person and I waited in silence. I was told to sit down again and wait, after another hour or so the number after mine was called up–the whole waiting room had observed my treatment–the fellow told me to go up to the counter called for out for him. When I got there I was told it was not my turn–I sat down with my ticket– clearly explained what had happened, he checked the screen and said I was no longer on it– I disregarded this and stated what I wanted to know and why I was there. Naming details of the case that was to have been heard today-but was no longer listed.I asked if the case was settled or was it adjourned – he started typing something into the computer- asked me to spell the names of the people concerned a strange request I thought and then said he was not able to give any information at all about this case. He did not ask my name at any time–I did explain my connection to the people involved– it seemed they knew who I was—I have surmised the case has been settled, and those who asked me to attend initially have gone quiet. So many layers.
Diane, but you, being you, were able to withstand it. What must it be like for a person who is already depressed?
No doubt the point of the whole set-up is “to break a man” as we say in CIA-type psychology. As if breaking a person is a good thing for government to do.
My telephone company, my bank, and my Internet service are trying every day to break me. (And let me tell you, they ain’t far off succeeding.) It’s not a byproduct of something lse. It’s the plan, Stan.
Not about withstanding anything or being depressed or not it is about being disempowered, silenced, excluded, lied to, denied rights, humiliated, and witnessing a system that is impenetrable. Deceit, Fraud, Torture, Genocide, are the words that I understand.
” Again we come back to the NWO, the Illuminati the Freemasons The Tavistock Agenda -the way those at the top of the pyramid rule the world.” Fritz Springmeir likens the illuminati to a hidden hand and the freemasons as a well fitted glove. Working as one to control the masses. He states ” Many think they have successfully hijacked or infiltrated companies, organisations and services but actually they have constructed, created a world system of systems, education systems, pharmaceutical systems, the medical and health system, broadcasting commissions, the Stock exchange, monetary systems including the military and religions”
We are all operating, according to the grand plan, in this system.
David Icke understands this multidimensional Matrix.
Maybe we should organise our conglomerate to join forces with his followers during his tour-Melbourne March 1st—then Adelaide Sydney Hobart– we could march under banners like they do in the Olympic Games. I will lead a contingent of people with DID –the latest statistics are 1 in 100 have DID–the important survey data for this group will be how did this happen, where did this happen. Then there could be those who have been unlawfully treated in the courts. Those who have witness rituals child trafficking—whistleblowers—-
The Archbishop of Sydney and the Queen have just spoken–about babies mothers families–wisdom paradoxes about good and evil.
The virtues of the Commonwealth– treating people with respect.
tried to post a link David Icke seems rot be a problem tried a secondd time told it was duplicated will try again
third try
This video by Mr Icke is friggin’ fabulous.

Child safety wont intervene and yes have lied but i am yet to find out to what extent.
They told me my son did not disclose sexual abuse TO THEM in an interview, by the disclosure which alleged the father to be doing so. My daughter also disclosed to a third party. Son disclosed to a third party. Death threats also have been involved and some physical abuse all through and aimed at myself, children, and pets.
They will not act in support of myself to protect the children. They told me my son did not disclose to them in which he told me he had. The counsellor said they had recieved medical history records of my sons to which it was clear of disclosures, trauma etc… they said in the letter…
**That the investigation was unsubstatiated child not in need of protection.
This means i do not believe that the children have suffered significant sexual abuse and/or emotional harm.
I also believe you are a parent willing and able to ensure the safety, wellbeing and belonging of the children due to your decision to engage the children in therapeutic supports and cease face to face contact with named person. As a result of this, the department will no longer have involvement with your family at this time.**
I find interesting from this letter being my childrens mother and maybe i am emotionally involved but i dont feel this letter is in anyway helpful to protecting the children….i believe i have been again palmed off by the police to child safety to family court… why i write below….
Unsubstantiated? (Below contradicts an unsubstantiated outcome – given they suggest no involvement because i am a parent willing and able, having the kids linked in with supports, ceasing face to face)
^^^Significant?^^^ Sexual abuse? What is significant? is insignificant sexual abuse okay? So their is that chance of insignificant sexual abuse – thats a child protection matter.
” and/or” emotional harm well incorrect statement given my son see’s a qualified social worker and also a qualified psychiatrist team. They spoke with and have the records clearly stating the extreme emotional trauma suffered including clear disclosures.
-how can they be so contradicting/vague and come to a conclusion of child not in need of protection?
-also in the fathers letter by child safety they recommend take this case to the family court. I am in breach of our legally binding agreement.
Facing contravention now and left to the corrupt also family courts to investigate.
I am a loving mum. I want the best for my children. My whole life i wanted a family. I now face more than just a broken family, suffering domestic violence NOW- i face losing the only thing i live for now and thats my children. Now just because of his actions but by the actions that follow on…
I am not the only parent suffering. My children are not the only ones also suffering. This pains me. Either way.
My life has been shattered… what did i think naively that any law and system would protect me. I grew up believing and respecting.
I am now in utter shock. Awoken to the reality of evil. I was wrong….. sooo wrong!
I love my kids and live pain everyday of this unkown of being punished for protecting my children.
I feel abused and helpless once again by the WHOLE SYSTEM.
Police.
Child safety.
Family courts.
This is so typical Heartbrokenmumofoz
I have discovered this pattern in another case.
What state are you in?
It is so corrupt — beyond what people can believe.
I am in QLD Dee my case may sound familiar as i have spoken too you before through a mutual friend.
You have heard some recordings. I am set for hearing in February for contravention and now need to ammend current orders.
I just get frustrated. Even on special days behind my fake smile is pain. I am numb and to think maybe this is my last xmas… i think everday that goes by is closer to me losing them. For being that voice to protect
As government zombies don’t operate on a level of thought or feeling they can only be overcome by systematically avoiding:
1) Any sort of appeal to sentiment
and
2) Any sort of argument/appeal to reason
Well, HeartbrokenMum, you have just given us a big Chrissie pressie — the motivation to keep on.
Thanks Mary… you are all doing amazing here on gumshoenews…. thank you so much… honestly i think we all need to break the gag at once. Lock me up! This has to stop. If it takes a stand for action to save the children. Then thats what has to be done. Ready to plaster a big sign outside the police (non) “child protection” department.
They not only lie aswell they top it off by being abusive to you and your children. Childsafety seem to be abit 2 faced i believe.
What do we have to do to be heard… i honestly dont know anymore…
Mum, I hope this won’t send you into spasms of discouragement but in regard to your quetion “What do we have to do to be heard?” I take the problen to be “What do we have to do to make our neighbors and colleagues listen?”
They so easly slip into dissociation. Still, the situation is better now thanks to the Internet and especially Youtube. It is hard to nay-say an episode like the one posted at top of this thread. (the Door Knocker)

FAMILY LAW ACT 1975 – SECT 70NAE
Meaning of reasonable excuse for contravening an order
(1) The circumstances in which a person may be taken to have had, for the purposes of this Division, a reasonable excuse for contravening an order under this Act affecting children include, but are not limited to, the circumstances set out in subsections (2), (4), (5), (6) and (7).
(a) says: “if she thought it was necessary to protect the safety of a person.”
Sounds reasonable enough, doesn’t it, Your Honor dearie?
The focus needs to be on the requirements and restrictions that bind the Crown NOT on some allowance or provision that can be extended or with-held at the discretion of some judicial minion and calling any such bods “Your Honour” is a big mistake
Berry, what do you mean by this: “The focus needs to be on the requirements and restrictions that bind the Crown”.
Her Maj is the head of the Federal Court System and, so far as any ruling that involves CPS, she’s bound by the Public Service Act

(NB: She can’t be held to account re rogue Orders but such Orders cannot be legally enforced save by consensus)
I’m not, of course, privy to the details of any of the child custody disputes discussed on Gumshoe but due to the fact that the purported judicial fouls are principally identical to those I’ve witnessed re a number of cases corresponding to a range of other matters I can’t see why confronting the Head Honcho wouldn’t have the same effect. The problem is that most people have been programmed to do anything but and most lawyers are worse than useless.
No Shred of Human Decency Left Under the Weight of #FamilyCourt : A #Corrupt Excuse for #Justice
There is barely a shred of human decency or morality left under the weight of this corrupt excuse for justice. Nobody wins under this system, and the biggest losers of all are the children.
Viewpoint: Does family court system destroy families?
By Joe Baker
Senior Editor
Mommy, sadly said the three-year-old girl as she climbed onto her mothers lap, what did I do wrong? Why cant I come home? That plaintive query points up the cruel and sorry mess that is the family court system in this country today.
http://chng.it/WvzxL7kb
Nearly 33,000 signatures and weekly request to AG Porter to meet and discuss why there MUST be a Royal Commission into Family Courts… all left unanswered… because he like all other AG’s and PM’s knew and know the extent of corruption in Family Courts and the damage done on society by their unchecked power over innocent people’s lives at their most vulnerable time in life … all for financial benefit of the Operators of Family Courts… all BY DESIGN…
Family Court is not broken it is functioning EXACTLY as it was designed… CASH for KIDS
“Family Court is not broken it is functioning EXACTLY as it was designed… CASH for KIDS”
That is exactly what I witnessed and experienced a week ago in Melbourne Family Court. Grappling with the octopus.
Where was it designed ? The Grand Plan. The Commonwealth. The Crown. All roads lead to Rome but first via the Tavi.
I have a theory that Alice Springs is used to trial “reforms” that will set a pattern across Australia.

I am here to downplay the RC idea. W already had one and its Commissioner — seemingly a good bloke (Peter McClellan) turned away many live cases. Persons watching the hearings (like me) could never have guessed that that was happening.
It bespeaks.. don’t want to say this … collusion.
The law as is can help us. We gotta apply it.
The Fam-court story having now been well-aired at Gumshoe, the question is what to do about it.
I worked in Child and Family Welfare for ten years and I would conclude that social workers are invariably emotionally and socially retarded control freaks and that it would be doing humanity a service to expose them all to investigation, prosecution, and imprisonment.
One senior social worker in Darwin actually ordered me to NOT PREPARE A REPORT on a six month old baby who had been spanked by her parents to the extent that she was haemorrhaging on her little bum, and also had a suspected skull fracture (diagnosis and referral by community health sisters).
I wrote the report anyway, recommending immediate intervention and prosecution of the parents, with a view to adoption of the infant.
The social worker went ballistic and told me all the parents needed was counseling.
The very reason why child protection intervention exists is that some parents are downright psychotic; whilst others are more remedially ignorant about infant care. There are times when the only chance a child has for critical love and affection is adoption.
Having said this, I discovered that the foster industry has now been corporatised (ie think factory farming, and apply this principle to child fostering) and is outrageously profitable. Foster parents can now be shift workers, not surrogate parents. This provides financial incentive to bypass adoption and family reconciliation (where possible) and develop the fostering industry.
Happily, In the NT’s Top End, we now have the Makan indigenous system of extended family intervention, replacing white intervention wherever possible. Funny that; it took traditional Aborigines to restore parental rights along with child protection by the only people who really care.
When you’ve got a police-force/welfare department/judiciary that lacks the guts to deal with actual crime the respective officers are bound to turn to invention, as demonstrated in the above clip.
