It is apparent that when Brian Shilhavy began writing this book, that he was overwhelmed at the vastness of this subject. Medical kidnapping encompasses a wide spectrum of things: medical diagnoses and differences of professional medical opinion resulting in medical kidnapping; state and federal laws and how they function; monetary incentives given by federal government for medically kidnapping individuals for the financial benefit of doctors, hospitals, and states; and how this medical kidnapping provides Big Pharma with all the foster children test subjects they could ever want for drug and vaccine testing to get their products approved by the FDA; and last but not least, how these incentives go against human and civil rights of individuals, and how this system breaks up the family.
The result of this system is great injustice for many parents and their children. It is also a windfall of money for individual states, jobs for Child Protective Services (CPS) and state and local law enforcement, work for the medical community, children for the foster system, and drug trial subjects for Big Pharma. Let’s continue exploring more subject matter from this book.
In his own words, this is the way author Brian Shilhavy’s organization Heath Impact News operates concerning medical kidnapping cases:
“We allow the families to tell their story to the public. The state agencies who abduct the children will not comment on specific stories. What they do is veiled in secrecy within family or juvenile court systems, and very seldom will parents actually be arrested or charged with any crimes in a regular court in these cases. Instead, the alleged victims, the children, are incarcerated within the foster care system, being ripped away from their families. Massive federal and state funding allow these children to be a financial asset to the state that abducts them.” Pg 24.
The one thing families who suffered from medical kidnapping have in common was that one day they found themselves with a child that needed medical help, and being parents who cared, they went to the hospital, emergency room, or some similar facility for help, and once the children were under the care of the emergency care physician or other hospital staff, this was the last time the parents had any legal rights over their children’s health or future. Seeking help turned into a nightmare for these families, and many of these children would never see their homes again.
The Anonymous Caller or Informer.
This kept creeping into the cases mentioned in this book. If you don’t like your neighbor who has children, are jealous of someone who has children, or are truly concerned about a child’s welfare in someone else’s home, then you can call CPS on them. And your name will never be revealed. This can be the beginning of a nightmare for the family, even if they have done nothing wrong. Isn’t this also a violation of the Constitution? No, it is not. It may follow the letter of the law, but it certainly does not follow the intent of the law, which is that there must be sufficient grounds, reasoning, and evidence of a violation of law for something so drastic as to remove a child from their home.
The 6th Amendment of the Constitution has two applicable clauses which protect the rights of the accused in criminal prosecutions:
Right to be informed: The accused has the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation.
Right to confront witnesses: The accused has the right to confront the witnesses against them.
The CPS and local authorities sidestep these protection clauses of the Constitution by not charging parents with a crime. They simply take the children away. Since there is no official prosecution or criminal charges filed against the parents, then the CPS are allowed by law to act on an anonymous tip, take the children away with little or doubtful claims, and then the children may be moved into the foster system, so that the state can get federal money, and Big Pharma can get their drug trial subjects.
What a system! Kind of reminds me of Nazi Germany or Communist China, where friends and neighbors can turn others in, remain in the shadows, and get paid for their information or rewarded in some other capacity. If CPS is going to remove children from their homes, parents should at least know what crime they are allegedly guilty of, and they should receive a fair hearing on the matter before their children can be removed from their homes. The system should allow the parents to decide if they would like the matter to become public. Not only would this allow their case to be heard by a wider audience, but it may immediately exonerate the parents and allow their children to come home, or to remain at home. Secrecy favors those in the system who have all the power and hold all the cards, and this certainly is not the parents.
To put these Nazi and Communist comments in perspective, I think it is important to note that the CPS has often conducted these raids upon the family to remove children from their homes in the middle of the night, when they know others like neighbors will not be watching, and people that they may typically be able to call for help against some of these unlawful and unconstitutional actions will not be available. These middle of the night raids under the cover of darkness indicate the type of darkness this part of the CPS system is capable of.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Deaths.
SIDS deaths were a much more common occurrence when the highly toxic original (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) DPT shots were administered to children up until the early 1990s, when we switched over to the much safer Japanese invented DTaP and other less toxic varieties of this vaccine type. After this vaccine transition, less SIDS deaths were recorded, but they still happen.
And when a SIDS death happens, the parents are horrified and depressed. And the parents report this death to the appropriate authorities to let them know what has happened.
What do you think CPS does in such a situation? There were multiple stories in the book which indicated that the CPS and local authorities blamed the parents for the SIDS death of the child and then took custody of all their remaining children. They did not charge the parents with a crime. There was no fair hearing on the matter. CPS just removed all their remaining children and placed them in foster care. Please remember that there is a financial incentive for the state to do this.
Just when the parents think the worst thing ever has happened in their lives, and one of their children died unexpectedly in their sleep, the end result was that they lost all of their remaining children without cause, explanation, criminal charges being brought against them, or even a hearing on the matter. What kind of country are we really living in anyway?
Vitamin D deficiency, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and other medical issues can cause brittle and/or broken bones in infants. This is common knowledge in the medical community.
For another example, let us just say you are a parent, and you see an unexpected bruise on your child’s skin, and this concerns you. So you take your child into the emergency room or to your pediatrician and show them the bruise on the child’s skin. They get an x-ray, and it shows there is a broken bone. The doctor and/or hospital staff are then required to call CPS due to an unexplained broken bone. Here is another example of how seeking help can turn into a family nightmare, resulting in the loss of your children to the foster care system.
Instead of researching the cause and finding it to be a vitamin D deficiency or some other explainable medical condition, they just assume the worst, and let others know your child has unexplained broken bones and accuse the parents of being bad people who intentionally hurt their children. Simply handling an infant with severe vitamin D deficiency or other conditions which cause brittle bones can easily result in broken bones. This is common knowledge in the pediatric world. However, it is not common knowledge among the general population.
A child with broken bones can not only end up with you losing your child, but it can also ruin your reputation as well, as the CPS along with the media reports on what you are suspected of being guilty of as justification for them removing the child from your home. This could result in the loss of your reputation, your job, your home, your remaining children, and life as you had known it. All due to wanting to know about a bruise on your child’s skin that you were concerned about.
Very rarely are charges made. The state has a valid reason to take away your children because you are suspected of doing something wrong. And there is a financial incentive in place for the state to take your children away. And again, there is no proven evidence of abuse and no investigation, just destruction of the family.
States get federal money when children are placed in foster homes.
In days gone by, when the CPS system had a heart and really wanted what was in the best interests of the child, the state would try to find another person within the family to take the child or children if it was determined that the parents were unfit to raise them. This is no longer the case. The state will not receive federal money unless the children are placed in foster homes. The state will receive no federal money if the child or children are placed with relatives. In other words, grandma and grandpa will likely never see their grandchildren again once they are within the foster system.
This financial incentive to permanently remove children from those of their own blood and people they care about should be eliminated. This destruction of the family is monstrous. Children generally do not prosper in foster homes. They languish and suffer. Then they are removed from all the people they have ever known and/or loved, and they become isolated. This is not beneficial to the well-being of children. The system has come to be heartless and cruel, and only about making money.
What can happen after the child is placed in a foster home?
If the parents know their children are especially sensitive to vaccines, and should not get them, vaccines may be administered anyway once they are in a foster home. This could end up causing vaccine damaged children, or worse. If children are exceptionally sensitive to vaccines, they can die as a result of vaccination.
Since foster homes and foster parents are given extra money for children with mental health conditions, many foster parents automatically refer children under their care to a mental health physician who is favorable to the foster parents, and they place the child on medication. There is a financial incentive to diagnose a real or fictitious mental health condition, foster parents are likely to be repeat customers, and foster parents receive extra money for having foster children with mental health issues. If the child had no mental problems before, then they are likely to have mental health conditions after they are forced on these drugs against their will and taken away from everyone they have ever known and loved.
Sex offenders are attracted to working in foster homes and being foster parents. They have a constant source of prey for their behaviors and children cannot escape their custody on their own volition. The internet is rife with stories about the sexual exploitation of children in foster homes. These wrongs are occurring each and every day.
And Big Pharma wins again. Cheap guinea pigs for Drug and Vaccine studies:
“Organizations that advocate for the rights of parents to make decisions regarding children’s healthcare are finding that foster children in CPS custody are being enrolled in drug experiments without parent approval.” Pg 122
Big Pharma needs children for pediatric drug studies. There are monetary incentives in place for the foster parents to hand over these children for drug experimentation. This is exactly what the bill called Justina’s Law was attempting to stop. This drug experimentation on wards of the state should be eliminated. We should look into reviving Justina’s Law, which died in committee as a bill, and getting it passed as a law in Congress so that these children will be protected from Big Pharma.
State Juvenile or Family Court records were kept secret in the beginning of the foster care program to protect children. Now this secrecy is being used to drug children for new drug studies by Big Pharma and/or to enrich foster parents, and any physical, mental, or other abuses they suffer while in foster care are kept hidden behind a veil of secrecy. All information related to foster children’s healthcare and living conditions should be accessible to an unbiased independent group of local volunteer monitors in the community which are concerned about foster children and their health and well-being, so they can be assured that the children are not suffering great injury at the hands of their foster parents or the foster system.
Foster care and adoption of these children by others who are not related to the children bring great financial rewards to the state from the federal coffers. This federal money should end, and the 10th Amendment should be followed in these family-related state healthcare issues.
The 10th Amendment of the United States: “…any powers that are not specifically given to the federal government, nor withheld from the states, are reserved to those respective states, or to the people at large.”
Author Brain Shilhavy’s Conclusion:
“CPS Does Not Help Families, But Destroys Them.”
“The lofty goal that CPS once had many decades ago to strengthen dysfunctional families and restore children to a safe and loving environment with their biological parents or close relatives is long gone. Today, CPS does not fix families, rather, it destroys families in order to provide pediatric subjects for clinical drug trials, to provide desirable children for adoption, and to keep federal dollars flowing into the state CPS budget.” Pg 129.
This conclusion may seem a bit harsh. CPS does provide a service for children who are suffering in their home environment, and who need to be removed from these circumstances. However, the author points out widespread abuses happening within the system related to medical kidnapping. The system needs to change. A few people who care have attempted to change the system, including some lawmakers.
One of these few brave people who tried to change the system and stand up to CPS was Senator Nancy Schaefer. She spoke out against CPS and was in the process of making a documentary on the wrongdoings of this agency before she was murdered. It was highly suspicious timing to say the least. Nancy Schaefer did a brilliant interview on Alex Jones podcast that can be found on the internet. This interview can be found here:
Also, she wrote an essay titled The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services. She was an amazing woman. The link for this article can be found here:
11-16-2007 THE CORRUPT BUSINESS OF CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVIC…
Nancy Schaefer believed the CPS should be completely dissolved. In her own words, “All federal funding needs to be cut off, and the rescuing of truly abused children in homes needs to become a function of law enforcement, and not social workers. This would provide due process of law.” Pg 205
There were also House and Senate subcommittees which did investigations into these matters. Wally Herger, congressman from California stated, “We know the children have been used without proper supervision for drug testing.” Pg 137
One such news story reported on a related study, “…authors of a new study questioned why 396 children under 4 years old covered by Medicaid were prescribed psychiatric drugs. Some of these children were less than 1 year old.” Pg 139.
How many infants do you know with mental health issues? They are selfish, needy, cry a lot, and are overly demanding for attention. Are these the traits that were cited for them needing to be drugged?
Any doctor that would write a prescription for an infant due to alleged mental health issues ought to have their license revoked, and they should face real consequences for their part in this shameful and blatant child abuse. How could they possibly diagnose a mental disorder on a child less than one year old, and justify giving them prescription psychiatric medication?
I attempted to get a link for the above information but was unsuccessful, possibly due to the date and/or the source. For those interested, this information came from a June 5, 2001, article from the Connecticut Advocate titled ‘Study Calls for Review of Psychiatric Drugs Prescribed to Kids.’
However, I did come upon a recent article with the link below dated 5/9/2024 which shows that this business of drugging children 0-5 years of age in order to receive greater federal funding still continues to this day and has been greatly expanded (2001 – 396 children. 2024 – 1945 children.) One important bit of information I found in this recent article was from the mission statement of the council responsible for such actions:
“… 2. Maximization of federal revenue to fund behavioral health services…” And “… 4. Capture and investment of enhanced federal revenue…”
We need to follow the 10th Amendment, get away from federal funding, and let the states handle these issues. This will remove the incentive to drug children to gain federal funds.
These are blatant signs of corruption, collusion, and wrongdoing in a system set up primarily for making money. It is readily apparent that public oversight is needed in these cases when wards of the state are being abused in these ways, being drugged by foster parents, and/or being used for drug studies by Big Pharma. Confidentiality laws and their veil of secrecy for children in the foster care system need to be lifted, at least to a group of unbiased, independent monitors so that any crimes or injustices being committed to the most helpless, vulnerable, and innocent of society can be exposed and rectified.
This concludes my book review on this book: Medical Kidnapping: A Threat to Every Family in America. The information found within this book is valuable, and the information needs to be disseminated among people so that we can end these violations of parent’s rights and the abuse and exploitation of children in this country.
