DCFS (Cattleman
Division) Targets Meat-Abstaining Families

Summary:
Families who abstain from eating meat are officially under
attack by DCFS and the State of Utah. Act now to determine
which of your officials are serious about protecting innocent
families.

1. State Ignores Evidence of Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning... Makes Bogus Diet Accusations
We have just received word
that a mother and father are about to have their rights
terminated and forever lose their child. State
bureaucrats claim that their children were malnourished due to a
vegetarian diet.
According to other experts,
however, the entire family appears to have been exposed to
carbon monoxide poisoning due to furnace exhaust asphyxiation—which
is why the entire family became ill. Undaunted, DCFS
continues to pursue termination with particular emphasis on
the fact that they do not eat meat.

Below are some ideas
for your discussion or e-mail:
It has come to my attention that Adam Trupp, DCFS
administrator for policy and planning, was quoted as saying:
"A restructuring of DCFS
might be appropriate, but we need a lot of discussion on it.
The issue that we strongly disagree with is that our agency
is out of control. We strongly disagree we are not
responsive to the needs of families."
(Source: "Brakes
on DCFS sought," Amy Joi Bryson, Deseret News,
Dec. 3, 2003)
If this is true, why is the
State of Utah attempting to terminate the rights of a family
on the basis that the child’s vegetarian diet was neglectful,
particularly when there is ample evidence that the entire
family had become ill due to carbon monoxide poisoning?
And why was this child, whose
parents had sought medical assistance, seized in the first
place? Any sane person who truly had the family’s best
interests at heart would have prescribed vitamins and minerals
them in some form other than meat.
A "responsive" agency would
immediately reverse its actions post haste. If you cannot
recognize the absurdity of this situation, please resign from
office immediately. You have no understanding of humanity,
mercy, or freedom.
3. Contact Primary Children's
Medical Center. This
organization has a child abuse and neglect team of doctors and
has offices for DCFS bureaucrats in its facility. Consider
giving these team doctors a call to remind them of the oath
they are violating to "first do no harm." You might also give
them your prescription that they leave innocent families
alone.
Primary Children’s has been
the referral source for many of the most egregious DCFS abuses
highlighted over recent months. Many citizens’ now believe it
is an extremely dangerous environment to take your children in
for medical treatment.
