Desperate Mother Warns of Rampant Abuse
by California Child Protective Services
{Editor's Note: Imagine yourself in this mother's situation. How would
you hold up if you were poor, powerless and had your 8 year old son suddenly
snatched away from you, only to be mistreated and traumatized by state
agencies assigned to "protect" children? We've been exposed to these horror
stories about child "protective" services for over a decade now. When are
we going to stop these Nazi-inspired state control agency goons and put
an end to their barbarous mistreatment of innocent parents and their children?...Ken

TESTIMONY OF DIANE MARY BOOTH TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY
I am an American mother refugee claimant in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. I cannot attend this hearing in person because I would be subject
to unlawful arrest and charged with two felonies which could result in
sentencing me to prison for the rest of my life. My true horror story is
so unbelievable to the average citizen that it sounds like a George Orwell
novel or an X-Files show. But I swear on the Bible and on my son’s life
and my own life and very soul, in accordance with God’s divine law, that
the following is true and correct. My son, Vincent Booth, age 8, and I
are victims of acts of terror that are more horrific than the Oklahoma
City bombing, Waco, Ruby Ridge, or the Sept. 11 attacks. I am not forced
to wear a "burqa" but much worse, I am forced to live each day remembering
the torture that my son and I endure even to this day. These acts of terror
are committed by agents of the State of California.
California Nazis
There is a holocaust going on in California. Please help me and thousands
of other Americans who had their children kidnapped by Child Protective
Services. I have personally witnessed my son and other small children at
the Children’s Shelteron Union Avenue in San Jose, and Eastfield
Ming Quong Facility in Los Gatos, California, being severely abused
both physically and emotionally by "counselors".
I had seen severe bruising on my son’s face and called 911 in Los Gatos,
but the police never came. My son was hospitalized in the Emergency Room
at Santa Clara County Medical Center many, many times for injuries sustained
at those facilities. I personally witnessed a 200-lb. "counselor" physically
restrain a small boy who was slammed face down on the concrete and kneed
in the back while his tiny arms were twisted behind him. The next time
I saw that little boy, "Danny", his arm was in a sling. Children in this
facility are very intelligent and warm and loving children. Every time
I visited the facility, they all hovered around me to tell me about the
torture they endured. Many times these children knew enough to pull the
fire alarm so that the police and fire rescue would come. I have heard
many, many children screaming and crying that they want to kill themselves.
Besides being brutally restrained physically, they are also chemically
restrained with mind-altering pharmaceuticals. My son was totally normal
physically and mentally before the Santa Clara County apprehended him.
I noticed his mental and physical health seriously deteriorate week after
week as a result of being drugged at these "care" facilities.
Flight to Canada
My son begged me to rescue him. By the grace of God Almighty, I was
able to do so on July 2, 2000. We were successful in our escape into Canada
on July 5, 2000. I took my son to many doctors in Canada who all confirmed
the same diagnosis - that my son’s Tourettes Syndrome was a result of the
side effects of the drugs forced upon him in California. After two months
off of the drugs, and with a stable, loving environment with his mother,
his "tics" began to subside. We were once again happy and enjoying our
lives.
Then, the nightmare began again when the Gestapo apprehended us and
tore my son from my arms while he was kicking and screaming, "Somebody
help me!!!" "Mommy, please help me!" This is a crime against humanity that
I have submitted evidence in support of my story to the United Nations
and every human rights group on the planet. America will never free themselves
of terrorists until they eliminate the terrorists within their own system.
God will never bless America when America tortures its own children and
citizens.
I have been wrongfully convicted and I am being maliciously prosecuted
by Santa Clara County, California. The Violence Against Women Act is being used in Santa Clara County, California to persecute women and
children by greedy and power hungry social workers who prosecute phony
domestic violence cases to get federal funds. Child Protective Services
is experimenting on my little boy with all kinds of dangerous drugs for
his "diagnosis" of ADHD. He has now developed a drug created tic, Tourette's
Syndrome, as a result of this drug abuse. He is only 8 years old,
and was imprisoned at Eastfield Ming Quong, a facility with a negative
history of stealing the children of earlier Chinese immigrants. He is not
allowed any contact with his family. I have strong suspicions that my
son is not even alive. There is presently a court order allowing
limited contact between me and my son. However, the social worker blatantly
disobeys the order and refuses to put me in contact with my son. I believe
the County is covering up his death. Why does no one investigate?
Retaliation & Gestapo Manners
My little boy, age 8, was, at age 6, "diagnosed" with ADHD by school
officials and social workers. I insisted that the Sunnyvale School District
comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act and make reasonable
accommodations for my son. I refused to put my son on Ritalin and
demanded that a proper medical and academic assessment be performed. The
school district retaliated against me, along with their partners in crime,
the Santa Clara Co. Social Services, and the Santa Clara Co.
District Attorneys Office, and the Public Safety Department.by
concocting malicious lies against me and my boyfriend.
I came home from work at 5:15 p.m on my very first day of a new job
(the opportunity the County was seeking!). only to find my son had been
kidnapped by Santa Clara County Gestapo. I was beaten up by a police officer
and thrown in jail. My boyfriend was also thrown in jail. I still have
horrible bruises on my ankles and shins from the beating inflicted by Officer
Terry Schillinger of the Sunnyvale Police Department. I filed a
police brutality complaint, but nothing was done, even though the SPD took
photographs of my injuries and the broken table in my apartment on which
Officer Schillinger had slammed me down upon (a strong and sturdy wooden
table mind you). This Officer had no warrant, no court order, and no probable
cause to enter my apartment or take my son.
The week before, SCC had frozen my boyfriend's bank account which caused
our rent check to bounce, which in turn caused us to be evicted from our
apartment. The County deliberately did this so that we could not afford
an attorney to prove our innocence. My son ended up at the Childrens Shelter
on Union Avenue in San Jose, and then at Eastfiled Ming Quong, where he
was given all kinds of dangerous drugs, including Ritalin. My son was abused
and neglected physically, emotionally and mentally at this facility. He
was hospitalized many, many times while under their so-called "care" for
injuries sustained at those facilities. My appellate court attorney, Allison
Brumbach, testifies in her petition to the Supreme Court that the social
worker stated that my son recently had his "face smashed on the concrete....so
now he doesn’t ask for his mother anymore."
Santa Clara County added insult to injury by claiming that I was a victim
of domestic violence. A woman in my former apartment complex makes a living
by heading a "domestic violence therapy group" called "Next Door".
She calls the police and falsely manufactures "victims" for the sole purpose
of making money and obtaining Federal funding. (The only "violence" that
was taking place was being dished out by the police officer who beat me
up and the Santa Clara facilities which abused my son) They even had the
audacity to file a child support enforcement claim against me as ransom.
Staying Connected, Santa Clara Style
My refusal to testify against my boyfriend, who was innocent, angered
the same DA who maliciously prosecuted me for a phony trumped-up charge
of child endangerment. The social services refused to send my son to my
loving family in New York even though my mom begged for temporary custody.
At the time, I had an appeal and a multi-million dollar lawsuit pending
against the County of Santa Clara, which was dismissed by a Federal judge
who had previously been a Santa Clara County judge. One of the Federal
court judges’ wife is also Deputy Counsel for the County. Incredibly, my
first court appointed attorney turns out to be a lesbian who was having
an affair with the very woman who runs the domestic violence therapy group
for women, "Next Door"- the same woman who called the police to
have my son taken away from me!
The woman who owns the Children’s Shelter on Union Ave. in San Jose
was the former mayor of Sunnyvale, CA, where I was arrested. This institution
is a "private-public" for-profit organization that had previously been
audited by the California Office of Inspector General. (See: Audit of Protections
Provided to Foster Care Children through the Juvenile Justice System in
California (A-09-99-00057) The Executive Summary of the report stated:
"This final report points out significant problems in California’s
administration of federally mandated foster care protections provided foster
care children in the State’s juvenile justice system. State plan requirements
for the case review system were, in large part, not met. Also, one or both
of the required judicial determinations pertaining to the child’s removal
from the home were not always made for these children. These protections
were not effective due to a lack of sufficient oversight by the California
Dept. of Social Services...."
My case is currently in the Supreme Court of California. (Case No. H023568,
and Santa Clara County Superior Court Case No. JD11110). The mainstream
news media and politicians have ignored my story, even though the Nordic
Committee for Human Rights in Sweden, and both Child Rescue of United Kingdom
and Canada are supportive of me. The FBI apparently had no evidence against
me, which is why they were unable to extradite me back to the USA. The
juvenile dependency court in San Jose, under the jurisdiction of Leonard
P. Edwards, has refused to allow me a hearing to call expert witnesses
or submit exculpatory evidence. He claims that I have no civil rights because
I am in a "foreign" country. However, The United Nations treaties, to which
the United States is a signatory, specifically guarantees the human rights
of citizens of all countries and has encoded those guarantees in the following
conventions:.
The International Convention of Civil and Political Rights The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment The Universal Declaration of Human Rights The United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived
of their Liberty The UN Guidelines on the Role of Prosecutors, The UN Basic
Principles on the Role of Lawyers The UN Basic Principals on the Independence of the Judiciary.
Accountability
Judge Leonard Edwards has had numerous protest demonstrations in front
of his courthouse. There are many, many families who have been tortured
by this abusive system as I and my son have, but they are not as fortunate
to be able to tell their stories, as I can from the safety of Canada. The
"confidentiality" laws put into place by the State are there to protect
the social workers and the court personnel from any accountability. Therefore,
they can wantonly abuse their authority by committing crimes against humanity
without fear of arrest or prosecution. Children are dying under state "care"
in California. Families are destroyed. Innocent people are incarcerated
for life, and many die in dangerous prisons. This is a holocaust worse
than Nazi Germany because it is solely perpetrated against children and
families for the sole purpose of profit - profit to the pharmaceutical
industry, the psychological therapy industry, the courts and lawyers, and
foster care "guardians".
I implore the State of California to investigate this holocaust and
to bring these civil servants who have committed these crimes against humanity
before disciplinary bodies. Return these children to their natural parents,
and put legislation in place so that this holocaust will never again be
perpetrated upon any other human being.
