DueProcess
1. Can a state court open and remove children in a "protective custody" case based solely on hearsay accusations prohibited by state statute, in secret and in absence of jurisdiction?
2. Can a state court threaten a distressed mother with decreased contact with her children to coerce an "agreement" before she consents to an admission of guilt so child abuse/neglect without facts or evidence of child abuse or neglect in that agreement or elsewhere?
3. Can defendants create systemic barriers to effective counsel, deny a family opportunity to mandatory colloquy, reviews, and appeal on issues, such as abuse of process, fraud upon the courts, abuse of discretion and judicial misconduct to force a final termination of parental rights on a family deprived of the fundamental opportunity to litigate on the facts of court record accuracy of transcripts, orders or evidence, and findings?
4. Can a state court of last resort declare a new standard of review of evidence based on a class of people with PTSD/depression to "preponderance of evidence" that a diagnosis is, in and of itself, jeopardy to children when the Supreme Court has long demanded a state refrain from presumption that a class of people are unfit parents (standards) and requires "clear and convincing evidence" of abuse or neglect?
5. Can a state court of last resort deny appeals and attempts at a mother's redress of the trial court abuses then echo these abuses to limit and inhibit a family's right to receive counsel on oral appeal, ordain counsel not to cite constitutional/federal questions on a family's behalf, or represent the mother's position in appeal of her termination of parental rights?
