MICHIGAN ? Hundreds of thousands of parents have been flagged as ?child abusers? in a huge database maintained in secret by Michigan?s Child Protective Services (CPS) agency. The names are entered into the database without due process, without a judicial hearing, without an opportunity for defense, without a conviction, and without even letting the individuals know they have been targeted.
The list is called the Michigan Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry. It reportedly contains the names of 275,000 ?abusive? parents currently in that state alone, as WXYZ reported.
?In our constitutional system, they can?t cut off your electricity or welfare benefits without giving you a fair hearing first. But in Michigan, they can put you on the black list of child abusers, and they don?t have to give year a hearing, and that?s written in the law.?
Most people on the list have no idea they have been put there. They have not received convictions, a trial, or even notification.

Michigan CPS has had a colorful record of violating families. The case of Maryanne Godboldo, a single mother from Detroit, stands out as one of the most offensive. When she took her daughter off of the psychotropic drugs that were causing her harm, CPS bureaucrats labeled her a neglectful mother. A SWAT team was sent to abduct the child and see that she was drugged by force. Police held an armed standoff outside the home when Godboldo resolved to protect her daughter by any means necessary.
