This is a good example of why it is important to address issues that expose the overreach of government authority and coercion. There will be more of this to come spreading across the nation and around the world if no one responds to the abuse.

Not sure how many here on Steemit have actually picked the new Omnibus Bill apart that was just signed, but it is very telling on how big pharma and CPS will be piggy-backing there way through the funding sources. :(

"Child Protection Agencies" are taking children away from their loving families.
THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.

my god! WHEn did this kind of thing start happening? Does anyone know? did this happen 10-20 years ago?

It looks like the act was put into action in 2014. http://www.dos.pa.gov/professionallicensing/boardscommissions/pages/act-31-mandated-child-abuse-recognition-and-reporting-continuing-education-providers.aspx

I'm not entirely sure how much room there is for interpretation and how much advantage this dental practice is taking of the act. There's a real threatening tone to the letter isn't there?

thanks for the link.. for sure there is a very threatening coercive tone there. just another crazy example of this new disturbing trend.. and another example of how being poor is being criminalised

Being poor and/or questioning medical practices...

Great post.thanks for sharing

Is that real?? If so, it's really aggressive.

It looks genuine and is sinisterly threatening!

I saw that story, too. Quite terrible - now even dentists can report you to CPS. If you do not agree with all the procedures, what? Will they accuse you of neglect if you don't get braces for your kid??

It's certainly frightening!

Excuse me?

Now we have to report when we take them to the dentist and when we don't and if we don't, now we get reported to CPS?

I can't stop shaking my head.

There's enough stress in everyone's daily lives to not constantly be wondering which adult from which place your child visits next will simply decide to report you to CPS because they are "concerned."

Starting to feel like living under a dictatorship? I'm wondering if this is how the Russians felt under Stalin or the Chinese under Mao. Always looking behind them.

That is possibly the most orwellian thing I've ever seen.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the reason they're getting threatening like this is because more people are questioning the validity of fluoride and avoiding this dentistry for its over user of it.

Thanks, I'll have a look.
