Mom arrested for homeschooling kids. This is why people want change

This is a perfect example.

So all paperwork in and filed.
Basically, the issue is the federal gov feels it has more rights over your kids than you do.

Single mother Kiarre Harris started researching homeschooling last November. She says her two elementary school aged children weren't excelling at their failing Buffalo Public Schools. "I felt that the district was failing my children and that's when I made the decision to homeschool," she said.
quote:
Harris says she filed documents at Buffalo City Hall, following all the steps, informing the district of her intent to homeschool her children. According to documents she provided to 7 Eyewitness News, they're dated December 7th and the district says it received her paperwork. "I spoke directly to the homeschool coordinator and she told me from this point on my children were officially un-enrolled from school."
So all paperwork in and filed.
quote:
Things took a turn when she says a week later, Child Protective Services called, wondering why her kids weren't in school. "I told them that my kids were homeschooled now and that I could furnish the documents if they need to see them."
quote:
less than a month later she says she was confronted by CPS workers and police. According to Harris, they told her they had a court order to take her children and when she told them no, she was arrested for obstruction. She says she hasn't seen her kids in three weeks, and they've been in a foster institution.

Holy frick.
That lady should win a massive law suit. The government wrongfully takes your kids for weeks and puts them in foster care? Are you fricking kidding? I would lose my shite.

Sounds like a good lawsuit for emotional damages

What part of this implicated the Feds?
Seems like idiotic CPS/local government.

What?
From your quotes the Buffalo Public School system (local) contacted CPS (State) because of incompetence in at Buffalo city hall.
Where are the Feds involved at all here?
Kids are homeschooled all over this country every day without any problem.
Mountain out of molehill.

The Buffalo Public School District says it cannot comment on this case due to Federal Laws but says in order for a parent to file for homeschooling, they must have full custody of the children.
Harris says she's a single parent and has always had full custody until her kids were taken away.
Sounds like there could be a bitter ex involved?

I'm pretty sure that even if you homeschool you still have to show proof that you are in fact following some sort of curriculum.

If her story is true she will have enough money to start her own private school.
Posted on 2/8/17 at 12:00 pm to Jjdoc
She needn't worry.......Reverend Al and Gloria Allred will be working tirelessly to see she gets justice.

Buerocracy at its finest. I can't imagine my kids being stolen from me for 3 weeks because some simple minded, government employed union member fricked up. Lawsuits don't make this right, someone honestly deserves a brutal asswhipping.

Left out some key info I see. The usual jjshill edit.
If she didn't have full legal custody she has violated the law. Pretty straight forward. But shill on

Child Protective Services
The absolute horror stories you hear about this terrorist organization are mind-boggling.
Lifetime channel could fill up an entire month of horror movies about this organization and how they ruin families and lives.
And can't even do their job when the situation calls for their protection.

There has to be more to this story. CPS wouldn't come out after a week for truancy. Since her kids were not doing well in school, I wonder if they were skipping often or a teacher had noticed something awry,
Posted on 2/8/17 at 1:01 pm to Jjdoc
Wasn't there a big story a year or 2 ago in the northeast where the kids were taken from their mother for another really stupid reason?
Anyone remember this story and know what happened with that case?

I simply cannot think of any more way as a human I could be violated than to have my son taken from my wife and I against our will. Unless we have done something completely henious.
Let's say that she filed no paper work and they missed school for half a year. What right is it for any government at any level to rip these kids away from their parents? How does this not violate due process? Who's right is it to tell me that my child has to obtain an education based on standards of the state? This is "abuse" based on a preconceived notion that the states way is the right way. Regardless of the child's well being.
I want my son to have the best education possible but you can't possibly tell me we live in a free country where I'm not at liberty to decide that.
How did we lose that fundamental right?

They'd be corpses...if they said they have to go back to school until "x" that would be one thing...
But taking them away without due process is nuckity futz...I'd leave that hole

the governor of that state should step in on her behalf if the head of Social services doesnt.
If she followed all the rules and was actually instructing her kids, this is bullshite.

Her Facebook has a post from last year saying that she was homeschooling her kids. I suspect that her kids were not in school for most of the year and CPS was notified, so she wrote down a couple of declarations in December to try to legal her way out of it.
