In one of the most convoluted and depraved decisions ever rendered by a family court, the Texas so-called "child protective" "services" (CPS) system has decided to strip half the time with his daughter away from a fit and proper parent who CPS admits is no danger to the child and give it to an unrelated third party.

Here is a key excerpt:
"From the day she was born, Jaime (all names changed for privacy) was her dad’s princess and his world. And even when things between parents Brad and April fell apart, they still worked together to raise Jaime, evenly dividing time and responsibilities. Then, tragedy struck when April died suddenly, so Jaime went to live with her dad full time. Yet, as it turns out, his daughter was a very popular little girl.
First, April’s bereaved parents wanted custody of their granddaughter. Worried they may never see her again now that she was with Brad full-time, they sued for visitation under Texas’s grandparent visitation statute. (Brad had made no indication he intended to cut the grandparents from Jaime’s life; they simply feared he one day might.)...
But then another plea was filed, another desperate attempt to steal custodial authority from Brad. And one very, I’ll say “creative,” judge made it work! See, for the last several months of April’s life, she had a new fiancé (whom I’ll call John) and he lived with her. John shared April’s time with Jaime—that’s just about half the time, under her arrangement with Brad—for about ten months.
But now that April was gone, suddenly fiancé John “needed” partial custody of his late partner’s little girl—custody he could share with April’s parents, too. It’s a convoluted case, and it threatens to crush an innocent father and his little girl. You see, there is no question that Brad is a good father, no possibility of abuse or harm to Jaime. No, these people just decided that they had a right to legally take time away from her and her father. And, as you’ll see, the court let them do it."

Are we beginning to see the TOTAL INSANITY AND DEPRAVITY that is underscoring everything to do with CPS? Are we going to just sit back and watch this kind of lunacy take children from innocent parents?
You can not call yourself a Christian and not confront this type of evil. It is pervasive, ludicrous and totally dependent UPON YOUR INACTIVITY and unwillingness to engage it in order to work its will on innocent children and families. Coddling evil does not, NEVER HAS, and NEVER WILL defeat evil.
Huge kudos to the Parental Rights Foundation for taking on this decision and for pushing back against the lunacy and depravity that engenders it!
Please support them in this effort!
Thanks.
