With the holiday season, I wanted to stay away from reporting on the “wrongs” of our society. Not that long ago, however, I came across another barbaric story involving Child Protective Services (CPS) which has plagued me for weeks. Having suffered directly from their unethical, overbearing, unsubstantiated attacks, keeping an eye on them has become a lifelong passion of mine. I do not want others to suffer what my family has suffered. Sadly, as long as CPS continues to throw its weight around without restraints, their victims list continues to increase.
The latest story that has weighed heavily on my mind is the story of Marie Freyre, a 14 year old girl with cerebral palsy. For her 14 years of life her mother, Doris Freyre, tenderly cared for Marie. Unable to communicate, Doris found ways to understand her daughter’s needs, moods and strengths.
Marie’s cerebral palsy left her physically unable to care for herself but her mother did everything for her. As the years passed, Doris began to suffer from physical disabilities herself, such as herniated discs and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is unknown just how CPS became involved but upon learning of Doris’ growing disabilities, they determined that she was incapable of caring for her daughter and, without warning, removed Marie from her home.
Doris Freyre went to court to have her daughter returned and Judge Vivian Corvo agreed that the mother was very capable of taking care of her daughter and ordered CPS to return Marie. The Judge did state that Mrs. Freyre could use additional around the clock assistance but the healthcare agencies refused to provide it. CPS decided to completely ignore Judge Corvo’s order and kept Marie in the Tampa General Hospital for 29 days. While in the hospital, Marie lost some 30 percent of her body weight.
In April, again ignoring the Judge’s Order, CPS had Marie moved to the Miami Gardens Nursing Home. CPS refused to allow Doris Freyre to accompany her daughter in the ambulance ride. While being transported Marie wasn’t given any of her medications for her pain, nor was she provided any water or any nourishment of any kind – no doctor awaited her arrival at the Nursing Home. Just 12 hours after being discharged from the hospital, Marie died of a heart attack from the stress she had been placed under. CPS denies that any of their actions, nor non actions, led to Marie’s death. Their response to the situation is as cold and uncaring as one has grown to expect from them.

I am not certain just what it is going to take for people, the legal profession and the medical profession to wake up and see the demonic organization that CPS has evolved into being. How many children must die at their hands? Their slogan of “what’s in the best interest of the child” is sickeningly laughable. They need to be stopped. If people had only stood up – how many thousands of children would still be alive today?
