Coronavirus Contact Tracing training materials promoted on the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website advise
health professionals to quarantine the children of parents who
contract Coronavirus.
On the CDC Coronavirus Case Investigation Training Plan
website, the CDC promotes
a lesson from Maventrainingsite.com prepared by a team from the
Massachusetts Department of Health. The “Tools for the
Field” lesson “Provides an overview of COVID-19 transmission,
testing, and common vocabulary. Describes contact tracing and
interview tools,” according to the CDC website. On the subject of
children whose parents are in isolation, the training materials
authoritatively state, “Children should remain quarantined away
from the case to prevent exposure. If this is not possible, then
the quarantine period of child will restart every time the child is
exposed to the case.”
CDC definitions hold that “Isolation
separates sick people with a quarantinable communicable disease
from people who are not sick” while
“Quarantine separates and restricts the movement
of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they
become sick.” The CEO of public NYC Health and Hospitals in New
York City
said that forced quarantines for people are an option on the
table as part of Contact Tracing.
Meanwhile…
Broward County, Florida Administrator Bertha Henry recently
discussed a new Coronavirus proposal “that would substantially
increase not only the tracing but more testing and case management
and isolation, for you, when we have to go into some of these
ALF’s (assisted living facilities) and move people out or go into
family homes like in some of these, where we’re going into some
of these homes, and we have to separate an individual to isolate
them they need, you know, we need to make sure that they get care,
that they have food, that they have support to be isolated from
their home or their family for that 14-day period.” (READ:
Contact Tracing Information Can Be Sent to the WHO and Law
Enforcement and Used To Quarantine People)
I previously reported that contact tracing data may be given to
law enforcement to forcibly enact quarantines:
HHS records show a System
of Records Notice (SORN 09-20-0171) in the Federal Register
marking the creation of the record system called “Quarantine- and
Traveler-Related Activities, Including Records for Contact Tracing
Investigation and Notification…” The records pertain
to “Individuals subject to quarantine or isolation
orders, ill travelers (i.e., passengers and crew), contacts of ill
travelers, and/or individuals exposed or suspected of being exposed
to serious communicable diseases.” The records
include: “Passenger and crew manifests from conveyances
carrying individuals subject to 42 CFR parts 70 and 71, case
reports, illness response forms, medical assessments, medical
records (including but not limited to clinical, hospital and
laboratory data and data from other relevant tests), name, address,
date of birth, and related information and documents collected for
the purpose of carrying out agency responsibilities under sections
311 and 361-368 of the Public Health Services Act.” The
records are being stored at: “Division of Global
Migration and Quarantine, National Center for the Preparedness,
Detection, and Control of Infectious Disease (NCPDCID),
Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road, NE., Building
16; MS E03, Atlanta, GA 30333. Records may occasionally be stored
at Quarantine Stations located at key ports of entry and at
contractor sites.”
One contact tracing group is funded by
George Soros and Bill Gates organizations, with Chelsea Clinton on
its board:
Partners in Health was recently selected by Massachusetts
governor Charlie Baker to conduct Coronavirus “contact
tracing,” a process that involves teams of investigators finding
out who infected people have come into contact with. The group is
already “training and
deploying hundreds of contact tracers.” Some citizens fear
the potential for mass surveillance posed by contact tracing,
especially in light of
a Democrat-introduced bill in Congress to authorize contact tracing
“at individuals’ residences.” Partners In Health’s
involvement will not assuage many fears, considering the group has
received funding from George Soros and Bill Gates organizations and
counts Chelsea Clinton on its board of trustees.Partners in Health lists George Soros’ Open
Society Foundations as an official partner, along with the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation. Partners In Health lists Open Society
Foundations
on its 2015 annual report as a supporter to the tune of $1
million or above, along with the Gates Foundation. Chelsea Clinton
serves on Partners in Health’s Board of Trustees,
according to its 2019 annual report.
How Is Coronavirus Affecting Children?
Washington state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families
(DCFY, also known as “CPS†for “Child Protective Servicesâ€)
posted a job listing for existing CPS workers to volunteer to
supervise children in quarantine centers during the Coronavirus
outbreak.
One of the listed locations, Cedar Springs Camp, clarified that
they were falsely listed by the state of Washington as a quarantine
center, and they asked the state to remove them. The job posting
closed on May 11.
Responding to social media uproar, the Washington state’s DCYF
put out a clarifying statement that the ad was only referring to
children currently in the system. But their clarifying statement
contradicts itself, at first stating that the quarantined children
will be kids who have tested positive, and then stating that
quarantined children will also be kids who may have been exposed to
Coronavirus.
DCYF’s clarifying statement reads: “In light of some
concerns from the public regarding two recent job postings by the
Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families
(DCYF), the agency would like to clarify the intent of these job
listings and address misinformation spreading as a result of the
job description.
The job postings targeted current staff interested in Social
Service Specialist 3 and Social Service Specialist 5 positions. The
post prematurely included sites of potential locations in the
community where we could house children in our legal care and
authority who’ve tested positive for COVID-19 in the event that a
placement home was not available. The facilities listed are not
affiliated with DCYF and had not signed off on this job
listing.
The listings have since been taken down to avoid further
confusion.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, DCYF began internal
recruitment of social service specialists to care for foster
children who are either COVID-19 positive or may have been exposed
to COVID-19 in the event a placement home was not available.
To clarify, those facilities that ultimately open their doors to
this effort would only house State-dependent children and youth in
out-of-home care who due to being COVID positive or COVID exposed
do not currently have a foster home available. These facilities are
for this limited scope and not considered quarantine centers or
intended for the general public.â€
Meanwhile…
Multiple mothers have had their children taken away from them as a
direct result of working in the medical profession during the
Coronavirus outbreak. Will these disturbing cases register with our
political leaders, who are voicing public calls to stand with our
medical workers during the pandemic?
Additionally, NATIONAL FILE caught a Child Protective Services
worker attempting to use the Coronavirus outbreak to suspend all
visits for parents of a child in the government system, citing a
statewide policy that the state government says does not exist.
What is going on?
(UPDATE: Dr. Theresa Greene, profiled below,
got her children back after an appeals court
ruling)
The
Washington Examiner previously reported:
“A divorced emergency room physician temporarily lost custody
of her daughter because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Dr. Theresa Greene, a doctor in South Florida, previously shared
custody of her 4-year-old daughter with her ex-husband, Eric
Greene, but a judge granted an emergency order granting him sole
custody until the ordeal is over, according to
NBC Miami.
In the court’s decision, Circuit Judge Bernard Shapiro wrote,
“In order to protect the best interests of the minor child,
including but not limited to the minor child’s safety and
welfare, this Court temporarily suspends the Former Wife’s
timesharing until further Order of Court. The suspension is solely
related to the outbreak of COVID-19.â€â€¦
…Theresa Greene responded to the judge’s ruling by saying
that “the family court system now is stressing me almost more
than the virus.â€
“I was just shocked that the judge would take this stance
without talking to medical experts and knowing the facts and take
it so lightly, take my child from me, and not think of the effect
on her, her mental and psychological well-being,†she added.
The doctor noted that the custody battle will not stop her from
following the “oath†she took to help people.â€
Washington Examiner passage ends
Greene appealed the decision, and an appeals court ruled in her
favor.
Meanwhile, I recently reported:
An Oklahoma medical worker has been stripped of her parental
custody at this time because she works in a medical clinic and
could possibly be exposed to Coronavirus during the outbreak,
according to court documents.
A district judge for the Sac and Fox District Court took medical
worker Katherine Spencer’s children after the father petitioned
the court. “The Petitioner alleged, and submitted documents in
support, that the Respondent alleged proximity to Coronavirus,â€
the court order states. Court dockets
show no record of a hearing on March 20, the day the court laid
down its order to confiscate Spencer’s children.
Katherine Spencer told her story on Facebook and denied that she
has any history of “neglect†prior to getting hit with a gag
order by the judge.
NATIONAL FILE recently reported…
UPDATE: Since NATIONAL FILE broke this story, the parents in
question have had multiple short video visits with their
daughter)
A Child Protective Services (CPS) worker in Oklahoma used the
Coronavirus outbreak to cut off a mother and father’s visits with
their 20-month old daughter, even though the Department of Human
Services, the state agency that oversees CPS, claims to be keeping
parental visits open.
“DHS statewide has suspended all visitations due to
the virus so after today’s visit, we cannot approve any more
visitations until it is reinstated,†said CPS permanency
worker Danelle Dillman in a Friday morning text message to Andrew
Ritter regarding his 20-month old daughter, who was seized by the
government for “Failure To Thrive†due to low infant birth
weight after the girl’s mother chose to breastfeed her. Ritter
and his wife said they preferred not to place their daughter on a
particular appetite enhancer due to perceived conflict with the
girl’s Zyrtec Antihistemine.
An Oklahoma DHS official told National File in a confusing,
defensive interview that the state agency does not have a policy in
place to suspend all visitations at this time, but rather to
continue visitations using technology like Skype and FaceTime. But
the official does not know if visitations are actually still
occurring. Ritter and his wife never received an offer to hold a
cyber-visit. Here is the text that permanency worker Dillman sent
to Ritter:
When National File called up the headquarters for Oklahoma DHS,
a woman who answered the phone told us that parental visits were
indeed “suspended†for the time being, “until they get this
virus under control.†The woman refused to give us her name.
But Keeley McEwan, head of the Oklahoma DHS communications
office, told National File that “We have not suspended visitation
across the board in any way.†She pointed to the agency’s daily
guidance for case workers, which she noted is “fluid†and
“changes day to day.â€
“As of today we are highly encouraging continuing
visitation†utilizing iphones and programs including Skype and
FaceTime. “Whether a visitation is cancelled is on a case by case
basis.â€
She did not know whether any visitations have been recently held
since the Coronavirus outbreak using Skype or FaceTime. Permanency
worker Danelle Dillman did not respond to repeated requests for
comment. McEwan did not confirm whether or not she spoke to Dillman
or Dillman’s superviser following our conversation.
I have been reporting on the nationwide scourge of CPS removing
children from parents’ homes for highly disputable reasons or no
reason at all, which many parents feel is due to the for-profit
nature of the government’s child removal industry.
