Missouri: Where Stealing Babies Seems to be the Trend

by Carrie K. Hutchens

One would think that the Stocklaufer case would put the system on notice that people are actually taking note of what the Missouri courts and DFS (Division of Family Services) are doing with regard to the children of, and within, their state. Apparently not though! If there was ever a MEMO -- it must have gotten lost within the system. After all, it certainly didn't get to some case workers that went above and beyond wrong in the actions taken against still another Missouri family.

A foster child was involved in inappropriate behavior. The foster parent made notification to the proper authorities (as is the rule) only to then become the one blamed. Excuse me?

It didn't end there...

The DFS, didn't just take away the one child, they came into the home and took away other babies that were also supposed to be adopted by this family. Their excuse? That the family -- not they -- were neglectful. After all, the family should have somehow known the inappropriate incident was a possibility, and because they didn't (from lack of information provided by DFS) they were neglectful and therefore not worthy to foster or adopt the babies, right?

What is wrong with this picture? Too much, I would think!

The foster parent makes the call, yet is thereafter treated as though someone called in on them? Where is the ability to process logic? Isn't that a requirement with these state jobs, especially the ones involving the well-being of children? If not -- it should be!

Maybe Missouri needs to review it's social workers and it's rules, prior to wrongfully destroying families! Just a thought!

Missouri's "Too Fat to Adopt Man" Faces Losing More Than Weight

Missouri's "Too Fat to Adopt Man" Faces Losing More Than Weight

By Carrie K. Hutchens

Gary and Cynthia Stocklaufer went through a horrendous and wrongful battle to regain custody of the baby entrusted to them by a relative and stolen from them by the system in Missouri. It was a long and hard fought battle with Gary receiving by-pass surgery to get rid of hundreds of pounds, but it was also a battle that got rid of thousands of dollars, too. So, while Gary has lost a great deal of weight, it seems, according to Fox 4, that he and Cynthia are threatened with losing a car and behind on other bills. And this is right because why?

Baby Max -- now Dakota Allen Lee Stocklaufer -- was placed in another home after adoption was initially denied the Stocklaufers. He was placed with people who believed they were going to be able to adopt him. I found that strange at the time, since the Stocklaufer's were still fighting for custody. The battle wasn't over, and yet DFS (and related peoples) were acting as though it was and apparently gave the new family false hope as a result. Such unnecessary pain caused by the Missouri system.

The Stocklaufer's case makes one wonder about a great many things. How many people have wrongfully lost children SIMPLY because they didn't have the money to fight, nor the excellent attorney that specializes in such cases? How many indeed?

In the Stocklaufer's case -- a mother gave up her parental rights only on the condition that her relatives -- Gary and Cynthia Stocklaufer -- adopt her son. That mother gave permission for Gary and Cynthia to bring her baby to Missouri, which she had every right to do. So, how could there have been a problem with the baby being brought into a home in Missouri, and into the Stocklaufer's home in particular, as the court tried to use as an excuse after the story got national coverage?

Is the Stocklaufer case an isolated one?

Does the State of Missouri play fair, or do some (within the system) strive to wrongfully stack the deck against foster parents and/or hopeful-adoptive parents? Is there true accountability within the Division of Family Services or do the case workers get to merely play with people's lives based upon their personal opinions and mood for the day? One must wonder. I know I do.

Baby Max (aka Dakota Allen Lee) was returned to his rightful family. How many children have not been?

Shooting Spree Interrupted by Alert Mom?

Mom saw warning signs in son who planned shooting spree

GREENCREEK, Idaho (CNN) -- It was just 2½ years ago when Elaine Sonnen found out that her 16-year-old son, Richard, had been planning a Columbine-style attack at his high school.

It would be a fitting payback to his high school classmates who Richard said relentlessly bullied him.

"I always wanted to get back at them," Richard Sonnen said of his classmates. "I always wanted to strangle them. ... I was always mad. I was always angry and I would come home and cry to mom and dad."

Both Richard and Elaine Sonnen spoke to CNN at the 45-acre family farm.

Unlike Columbine and recent school shootings at Northern Illinois University and Virginia Tech, Elaine Sonnen did see the warning signs in her son and was able to stop him.

Thank goodness that Elaine saw the signs and had the courage to take action! How many lives were saved because she did?
