Baby's death in foster care likely 'tragic accident' |
Baby's death in foster care likely 'tragic accident'

Autopsy doesn't confirm cause of Madras-area baby's death
By Barney Lerten, KTVZ.COM
Authorities have not yet determined what caused the death of a
1-month-old infant who died while in foster care, but there were no
signs of foul play, only a "tragic accident," Jefferson County
authorities said Wednesday.
Sheriff's deputies were called to a home around 4 a.m. Wednesday
regarding Taya Pishion, who was unconscious and not breathing, Sgt.
Bryan Skidgel said.
The baby girl was taken by ambulance to Mountain View Hospital in Madras
and later pronounced dead, Skidgel said.
An autopsy conducted Tuesday at the State Medical Examiner's Office in
Portland offered "no immediate findings of any cause of death," the
sergeant told KTVZ.COM, adding that further tests are planned.
"There's nothing that's indicating foul play," Skidgel added.
The infant was in foster care through the state Department of Human
Services, which is determining whether the circumstances trigger what's
called a Critical Incident Review Team, or CIRT report and
investigation, said DHS spokesman Greg Parker.
"It's something we began a few years ago, when there are fatalities, and
they are to make sure the policies and procedures were done
appropriately," Parker said.
The 2007 Legislature passed some revisions to the state law dealing with
such situations, Parker said, "so part of what we're doing right now is
taking a look at whether we automatically need to do this
(investigation) or whether that's still discretionary."
"The preliminary information we have is that it does not indicate abuse
or intent," he said. "When it is, that does trigger that higher level of
review," known as "30-day and 60-day reports."
Parker could not reveal publicly more specifics about the incident, but
did say the foster father is "a trained nurse and tried to resuscitate
(the baby) on his own."
"Everything seems to indicate that this was a tragic accident," Parker said.
The child's natural parents, Sabrina and Jeff Pishion, were notified of
the baby's death early Tuesday. The state agency has not identified the
foster parents publicly.
CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL
SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS....
CPS Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of Child Protective Services.
every parent should read this .pdf from
connecticut dcf watch...

http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com
Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US
These numbers come from The National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS
*Perpetrators of Maltreatment*
Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13
Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12
Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5
Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that
are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per
100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse
and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the
citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold
parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY
government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and
death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more
human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which
they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that
they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when
children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a
bunch of social workers.
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT
FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON...

REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES
TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY
ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION...
