“Why is the social work establishment so eager to take children out of families? Because removal of children represents the means to gain control over everyone in that family! Parents will quite often agree to almost anything to be reunited with their children, and children will often say almost anything to get home — often being manipulated, confused and coerced into making false statements of abuse once they are separated from their parents. Seizing children is the ticket to control...the avenue to dictating to families what they must do, and the control to which they will submit, if they wish to reunite...”

“Many Christian parents submit to allowing social workers to both enter their homes and even interview their children, knowing that they have nothing to hide and believing that the truth of their innocence will set them free. Such parents are sadly mistaken. They don’t realize how vulnerable they make themselves when they put the interpretation of their home environment into the hands of a social worker who may be terribly biased against them. These biases enormously impact subsequent interviews with children, who are incredibly susceptible to false suggestions by those interviewing them. Studies in which interviewers have been given false information about an event which occurred in the life of a child have shown over and over that interviewer biases directly impact the results of interviews with children. Children quite often agree with interviewer understandings and beliefs which completely contradict their own experiences in such situations. Questions are often repeated until the expected answer is given. Misinformation is often given to the child by multiple interviewers, who use their emotional tone, peer pressure, and authoritative status, along with the enticement of returning home once the right answer is given, to plant false beliefs and often false memories in the mind of a child — memories and beliefs which will often haunt and confuse that child for life — and all this in the ‘best interest of the child.’ We must be vigilant to protect our children from such defilement.”
