Mother of five Phyllis Wilson fights back tears.
She says a representative from Daniel, a child services organization,
showed up at her door this weekend telling her the worst of news that
her 3 year old, Brittany Hampton, drowned in a bathtub at a foster home.
"They came to tell me so I just fell out on the floor and just started
crying," she said.
Back in September you may remember seeing Wilson's picture on cbs47 news.
She was arrested for child neglect.
Police said she left her children alone at home.
At the time, the children were taken away.
Family members believed the kids were in safe hands but now this.
A spokesperson for the Department of Children and Families says it is
aware of the situation.
"This is a tragedy that leaves all of us devastated. We are grieving
over the death of this child."
Family members of little Brittany say the child was supposed to be in
protective custody but wasn't protected at all.
"They murdered my grandchild and whoever did it is going to jail. They
came and got her and now she's going somewhere," said Brittany's grandma
Shirley Wilson.
According to the family, Brittany was living at a home with foster
parents and other foster children. They say was just placed in the home
about two weeks ago.
Wilson says her little girl was found in the tub with another child
sitting on top of her.
She says Brittany was rushed to Baptist Hospital where she later died.
The family is planning a memorial service for Brittany in a couple of weeks.
CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA
WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....
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/8x11.pdf
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...
BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF
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...
