I will try to keep this post as simple as possible as I let you all know how I feel about the numerous quality posts I have read through in such a short time, the value we've all built up in our strong righteous ambitions to bring security and safety to families, children and other bigger pictures our memories haven't begun to imagine yet. The community we are presently building is one that will take more than just 10 people, it will take a lot of like minded individuals who continue* to resonate at a unified vocal, visual, and emotional frequency while accomplishing the GOAL.
Honestly, it is very difficult to get people who are aching from the effect of the system to open up, it is so much more harder to get those who are "presently" fighting CPS, they are afraid to speak out and it is very understandable. This has contributed to the very low visibility level CPS cases attracts. Here we are today, building up a (de)centralized effort to help raise the visibility bars to the entire world, to those who are in search of truth, justice and help.
How Quality And Relevant Posts From Members Have Helped
When I talk to people, when having a video call with people who have passed through or are passing through the System, I begin to appreciate the @familyprotection community the more. With all transparency, there are times I receive an email, reading through it, I realize that I don't have the capacity to offer any advise whatsoever, at some point, nothing comes up to my memory on how to offer any useful relief or map out a solution route!.
It all began to change the moment I realized the complexity and diversity of the tricks caseworkers play, it all began to change as I spoke with more victims, both parents and foster age outs, it all changed the more I read the accounts members of the FamilyProtection wrote about and what they had passed through, and the advice they had to give.
When I read through the accounts here on FP, the next thing I do is to either jot down the mistakes that was made by the victims had made, and constantly reflect on how best he/she could have solved the issue! This gets me munching through more papers and legal issues. I believe strongly that history holds the solution to the future when applied today, and many other families out there get to learn from these many experiences they have read and are told of.

Time is one important treasure, it isn't as important as life though, Oh sorry, time is life, and without life there will be no time and without time there would be no life, hmmmmm, I don't know how the exact cycle is, but its something like that!. The FP community already has a growing database of priceless information, comprising the posts we have all being writing, the interviews each member had done, the complex legal works some of us have dug our ways through, the digging and logging!. All of this is a pool of sweat and a compressed world of TIME!.
This database and pool of resources that have come to be because of the time and energy of the community, this is serving so much importance and saving more time for many people. In fact, I have grouped all the posts since the beginning of the @familyprotection account into many niches and sorted them out well. Most times in responding to some of the emails Eugene and I receive, when needful, I simply write a short meaningful reply and attach the link of a good FP post to it, or simply copy and paste a solid tip that has been shared by the community!. People always find it useful!, honestly speaking, the posts and accounts here have been of tremendous help, because of you all who write about this low visible and hardly mainstream covered niche of government corruption(CPS corruption), many people are benefiting.
Not Just A Resource! But A Fertile Ground Of Hope.
I won't forget the day someone who was dealing with CPS read through some of the links I sent him and said:
"I thought I was the worst mother on earth, CPS workers made me feel like I had committed a huge crime when I had done nothing wrong. The problem was that I didn't see what had happened as being an issue at all, I love my kids and I would go back and forth hell for my children. At one point, I started believing I was seriously at fault and I needed to just give up, but then I read through the links you sent and saw that this people(CPS) were the abusers and only playing me against my husband and his relatives. I am glad to have found you and I am glad to know I am not alone, I am glad others are fighting too".
Among the links I sent to her, FP community posts links dominated!, and they were very helpful. I have received similar replies from others, and I must confess, we are already a source of inspiration!. We are gradually becoming a beacon of hope and strength to people who thought they were alone.
Unused Knowledge?
There is a saying, "My people perish for the lack of knowledge", but I am laying more emphasis when I say, "people become walking corpse when knowledge is unused, when knowledge is not materialized!". Keep telling people about the horrors, keep telling them there is hope, let them know that they are not alone. Use your knowledge to help your fellow neighbor.
Lets keep resonating at a unified vocal, visual, and emotional frequency while working to accomplish the goal of family preservation and enrich lives wherever and whenever we can!. Only then can we be more than just a "some people" and then more of a united community!. I am grateful to all who have become the voice to the voiceless, your pool of sweat and time spent adding value to the world is not in vain.
Please comment and let others know how the posts and comments swarming through the community have being of help to you or your folks. How the FP community is tackling and shouldering the weight of the visioned family preservation. Or could it be I am the only one seeing this? Am I alone?
Peace to you all,

I cried when I read about the part of you sending people that are in need of answers links to some of the articles we have written here. This is the reason I have the strength to continue to write the posts I do.
It also reminded me of a phrase I once read. I can not remember from where though. "Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it". If anything I hope the experiences and knowledge we share will one day save someone else family from going through these things.
Knowledge is power.
Thank you for this post. It means a lot more than you know.
I admire what drives you and the posts you make to help and inform others from your vast experience and knowledge. Thank you Curl!
Great post @kryptocoin!
The importance of what we are doing is becoming clearer with each story told.
Your post is a strong reminder to all that @familyprotection is so important to so many people.
Me and Linda were discussing just yesterday that we would like to do weekly or monthly posts through the fp account that brings together some of the most important and valuable post under the fp tag.
In the future we will even have a website that brings together all this valuable information under one roof!
Thanks for your effort, you are @familyprotection!
I love the Roadmap you have painted here and the website to orderly* house the many resources. I wonder if there can be a blockchain implementation of this Website you have talked about, so it is secured and truly free from the influence of the outside forces. 🤔. Thank you Mark for your comment.
What can I say, some people have found a cause and a whole lot of family have gotten enough awareness on basic grounds about their family I love what #FP is really doing here, it's amazing really.
And those basic grounds are indeed very necessary, so great that you love the community. Thanks for your feedback!
From what I have read — people's individual stories, especially — it definitely seems that there is a community here that has built around this (Steemit) being a "safe space," both in which to share advice and in which to get help. And battling the kind of injustices we see so-called "authorities" try to impose is one of the most important things we can do.
Bright Blessings!
Safe space is one of the perks of the block chain and we will make good use of this. Thanks for your comment.
This has been a resource for many and has provided education, support and therapy to the hurting. I believe it is one of several tools in the box to fight the cause of protecting families and defending freedom. These articles need to be cataloged and cross referenced to better serve the cause. In time that will see fruition. Thanks @kryptocoin.
Cataloging is very important. I have a micro-catalogue already and a custom tagging system, though crude but suits my use. Thank you Troy for your comment and what the FP community is.
This was very well written @kryprocoin! It was so good to hear that so many people you have worked with or who has reached out to you, has found comfort in some of the articles that have been written under @familyprotection. It made me smile when I read that mother now knows she’s not a horrible mom and that she is not alone.
For me, being apart of the FP has really opened up my eyes even more so than they already were. Reading the different stories of the accounts and abuse has helped me and my husband be better prepared to protect our family. I have always been an advocate for homeschooling and parents making the decisions for their children and now I am even more excited about supporting families and their rights after learning of all the horrors that really go on. I am thankful to be apart of such a community that works hard to bring truth and enlightenment to others.
Thank you @crosheille for this elaborate comment and what you see @familyprotection community for. A buddy of mine from Vermont just posted a post related to homeschooling today under the FP tag with my account, could you please read through and give a tiny advise. He is looking to be very preventive since he has previously dealt with CPS before, it would be very helpful considering your experience homeschooling. Thanks a lot.
Absolutely! I’ll read the post as soon as I can and respond! Thanks for letting me know :)
You are right when you say that the first most difficult step is to tell our story, because I lived it, about receiving a lot of emails and not knowing what to do to provide relief, when Mark raised some suggestions to consider them, starting from my profession as a graduate in psychology I proposed to use counseling and psychological help as a collaboration,
I believe you are doing a great job here, and you are of great help for those that seek your help regarding CPS issues. I have great respect for your work and all the others sticking their neck out to help those families.. keep up the good work..
