Silicon Valley leads the U.S. in child trafficking and child deaths in foster care

Commentary by Brian Shilhavy

Richard Wexler, Executive Director National Coalition for Child Welfare Reform has reported recently that Santa Clara County, located in California’s Silicon Valley, now leads the nation in removing children from their homes and placing them in its foster care system, where children are now dying at a higher rate than anywhere else in the US.

As I’ve been reporting for over a decade, the foster care system in the United States is the #1 conduit for child sex trafficking. Most of the foster care system in the US is run by Christians who, along with the government and their churches, are complicit in this lucrative system of “legal” child trafficking. See:

How the Christian Church and the US government are working together to sell children around the world through a lucrative business for adoption.

Christian churches redefine ‘orphan’ to justify involvement in child trafficking

Numerous studies over the years have clearly shown that children who stay in their homes with their parents, even if they are “troubled homes” where addiction can occur, have better lives than those placed in a bad foster care system.

Santa Clara County in Silicon Valley, home to billionaires and some of the world’s richest people, is particularly notorious for child trafficking and sexual abuse, and for harboring pedophiles.

Here is a video testimony of Debra Grant, who had her children taken from her and then given to her pedophile husband, explaining how these people get away with child trafficking that was recorded 13 years ago. (Amazingly, this video is still available on YouTube. But if it disappears, we have a copy here.)

Calculating the price of caregiving panic – in children’s lives and health

Quotes:

Researchers speculate that the foster care panic in Santa Clara County is leading everywhere four to 12 premature deaths and a large number of serious illnessesIf the children had stayed at home, this would not have happened.

Their methodology can be applied to any foster care crisis anywhere and to states that routinely separate families at rates higher than the national average.

MAIN POINTS

Researchers have examined a large number of studies following millions of foster children around the world that show the specific harms of foster care placement. They were able to estimate the percentage of children who had worse outcomes, including early death, because they were taken from their families and placed in foster care. were able to show that damage to health and death on the spot are directly related to SEPARATION from their familiesdid not say anything that their families allegedly did to the children before.
They then applied the findings respectively the worst foster care panic in the country, one in Santa Clara County, California. In this province, over the past two years, admissions to foster care have nearly tripled in one year. During that time, 399 more children were separated from their families than would have been if there had been no panic. They applied their findings of harm to health and premature death to those 399 children.
Their conclusion: 42 children will have long-term illnesses and/or disabilities that they would not have suffered if they had stayed at home.
Four to 12 children will die prematurely, which would not have happened if they had stayed in their homes. The researchers stress that the death estimate is conservative.
Their report, sent to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Saturday, includes seven specific recommendations to make all vulnerable children in the county safer.

Among the most popular pages on the NCCPR website is one summarizes some public facts compared to children in foster care compared to children who were abused in their own homes.

Studies consistently show that in typical situations, foster children do worse.

So how does this apply to Santa Clara County?

In the wake of two high-profile child abuse deaths, County Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Sylvia Arenas and San Jose News Mercuryincluding reporter Julia Prodis Sulek, rushed into false attempts to keep families together.

This was by far the worst foster care panic I have seen in America in at least 40 years.

In fact, of course, there have been tragic child abuse deaths in Santa Clara County long before the county tried to keep families together. Another tragedy occurred in April, the death of Jackson Juarez, after the county was breaking up families at a fanatical pace.

In fact, panic can increase the latest tragedy due to overstaffing, so they have less time to thoroughly investigate the case. None of this has stopped Arenas and Sulek from continuing to throw gasoline on the fire.

It doesn’t have extensive training More than 3.4 million child abuse records and more than 24,000 child abuse deaths have shown that increasing foster care does nothing to reduce such deaths.

What all of this research tells us is that increasing foster care does nothing to save lives, but can itself lead to premature death.
