Department of Child and Family Services

Your children are safest at home.   It is an unhappy fact of our crumbling, anti-family society that government social services are sometimes out of control and innocent people are being accused and their children taken.  Utah is particularly bad. Although the 2002 Legislature did pass a few bills to correct some of the problems, there is a long way to go.  The fact that we do have so many failing families and so much actual child abuse going on doesn’t help the situation, but sometimes social workers seem to "cream" the "easier" cases.  Sometimes social workers are taught anti-family and anti-Christian doctrines in college.  Sometimes they see parents as the enemy.

Children are in the greatest danger in the public schools because social workers have free access to them there — a social worker can interview a child at the school without parental notification and take the child into custody immediately.  

Some legal authorities suggest that should a social worker come to your home you can lock your door and refuse him entry until he has obtained a legitimate search warrant, and that warrant must be based on something substantive.  Don't ever think, "I have nothing to hide, I'll just let them in, show them around, and all will be well."  It doesn't work that way anymore.   Lock your door and call the Utah Families Association hotline, 801-546-0821.
