Not to mention, many don't realize that the American Indian had quite an influence on our US Constitution... Say What??

• American Indian Influence on the US Constitution and Its Framers
  "..many writers of history of the United States portray Indians as having had little impact or playing no role at all in the development of this country. However, a closer examination shows a major Indian influence on many aspects of American life affecting us to this day."

New Release: The Children’s Bureau Legacy: Ensuring the Right to Childhood

As part of its centennial celebration, the Children’s Bureau researched and produced a history of its first 100 years. 

The resulting e-book combines compelling text with striking historical images to tell the story of a small Federal agency that took on some of the most devastating social problems of the time, including high infant mortality, child labor, and child abuse and neglect. The e-book puts this history in the context of changing world events and social movements. It also offers a look at some of the determined leaders who helped shape the Bureau to be what it is today—a strong advocate for America’s children and families.

Parental Rights - Farris' CRPD Hearing Report

November 6, 2013 It was obvious from the earliest moments of the hearing that I was going to be the brunt of a lot of abuse. During the course of the hearing I was personally attacked by Senator Menendez, Senator Boxer, and Senator Durbin. I don't mean they disagreed with me on the merits of the issue. I mean they attacked me personally for "fear-mongering", misrepresentation, fund-raising, political motives, and having earned an LLM through distance learning. The shots were cheap and it wasn't really any fun. But here is the point. When the left stoops to these kinds of tactics, it is a sign of two things: 1. They have no effective answers to the substance of my arguments. 2. We are having an impact. ParentalRights.org President Michael Farris There is only one question that really matters here: Do we generate enough phone calls to make sure that the Republicans who voted with us last time stand strong? If we let the left get away with these tactics, our movement - indeed, our country - is doomed. I have to admit that I took a lot of solace in this idea during the hearing: The people will protect the sovereignty of the United States even if our Senators are ready to jettison it. Sincerely, Michael Farris ParentalRights.org Founder and President Editor's Note: 1. Please call your senators again. Urge them to oppose treaty ratification. You can reach them through the Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) or find their info by clicking on your state at ParentalRights.org/states. 2. Please donate generously to support our efforts. Yesterday, Senator Boxer attacked Mike for raising funds on this issue. Apparently she believes that while those who agree with her have every right to donate to her campaign coffers, you don't have the right to support us financially. Help us as we work to make your voice heard! Sincerely, Michael Ramey Director of Communications & Research

SOURCE: Annie E. Casey Foundation and Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative
SUBJECT: Child Welfare
TYPE: Policy Paper
YEAR PRODUCED: 2013
Two major foundations joined to call for a restructuring of federal child welfare funds aimed at improving foster and kinship care, limiting the amount of time that federal funds can be spent on them for any one youth, and ending certain federal spending on group care.
The paper, “When Child Welfare Works,” bemoans the “arcane federal financing structure that fails to support or provide incentives for the best practices we now know are essential to improve the well-being of children.”
The paper’s recommendations include:

• Limiting federal foster care reimbursement under Title IV-E to 36 months per child (over the child’s lifetime).
• Elimination of Title IV-E funding entirely for shelter care, as well as for group care for children younger than 13.
• A 12-month limit on congregate care funding for older youth.
• Eliminating entirely the concept of income eligibility requirements for IV-E reimbursement.
• More flexible licensing standards for kinship placements and a requirement that all children be placed in licensed homes.
• Changes in the way “case work” and “overhead” are defined and reimbursed, so that agencies can receive reimbursement for a broader array of support activities, such as non-clinical counseling of families.
• An increased tax credit for foster families caring for youth who are over age 12, are siblings, or are difficult to place.
• Allowing child welfare workers to receive educational loan forgiveness after 4 years (instead of 10).
• Allowing current funding streams to cover better training of child welfare investigative staff.
