Heidi Baur, Reform Onslow County Department of Social Services and Child Protective Services Now

In the matter of Shawn Schmidt, Heidi Baur has refused to put her agencies full resources into this non-custodial mother seeing her children in 2070+ days (As of May 2013).

NC Fathers has had contact from many non-custodial parents in Onslow County NC who tell us that social services routinely will tell one parent to do something that many times is against a court order, or there will be consequences. We are aware of no less than 7 cases where Child Protective Services staff told custodial parents to keep a child(ren) from an investigated non-custodial parent, but refused to file for a hearing to ask a Judge to make that order or even bring cases of abuse or neglect. In these matters, social services has elevated themselves to Judges in an obvious attempt to save money. However, as we have been told, Judges in Onslow County will likely overlook this illegality because it is in the best interest of a child. If this is how things work, why do we even need Judges?

While on the subject of “best interest of a child” this statement is often used by social services, Judges, and Legislators when they need society to overlook things because it is keeping children safe, even if these things are illegal or cross serious boundaries. These people love to used children as tools in order to do bad things. We see this over in the middle east all the time where terrorist will put kids in military institutions so that we can’t bomb them because they know it is very easy to say you hurt kids and killed kids.

NC Fathers is aware of pediatricians in Onslow County who have sent letters to Heidi Baur asking her to remove kids after they did investigations and found that parents were engaging in medical neglect.

NC Fathers is aware of Jason Shupe’s social services case that has been going on for over three years and defies any logic or professionalism and has likely traumatized thier children for many years.

Onslow County NC non-custodial families needs to understand that DSS cannot operate without a budget and a huge part of their budget comes from federal Title IV-D money through collection of child support. For every dollar collected in child support, Onslow County DSS gets back an equal match of money that is then used for this agencies programs, services, staff, and salaries. With this in mind, it is important to remember that social services has a tremendous incentive to see non-custodial families severed from their children so they pay greater child support which triggers more federal money.

Ask Director Heidi Baur what the average educational level of child protective services staff is and you will learn that they only have a 4 yr degree in any human services field, but they are allowed to make very serious decisions, many times clinical decision, that can have extreme consequences for families when biases, ideologies, a need to be a hero, or job justification is an issue. Most professionals that decide matters involving children and families have advanced degrees and professional associations that regulate what they can say and do. But not at social services. They have complete immunity and they have no oversight from regulatory organizations that can remove their licenses if they breach policies and procedures. Since Heidi Baur is solely responsible for her staff, then non-custodial families in Onslow County need to hold her accountable with your elected officials.

NC Fathers is very aware that there are MANY citizens in Onslow County NC who have experienced abuse at DSS, and if you contacted an attorney to stop that abuse, you likely found that none were willing to help because it is not popular to sue a state agency. If you don’t have money to hire a lawyer, DSS does not care, you will never see your children again. If you disagree with DSS, they do not care. If DSS wants to take your kids and adopt them out, or put them in foster care and you are unable to hire an attorney, they do not care. All they care about is staff having jobs, and federal and state money.

If you are not prepared to hold Heidi Baur accountable, and your elected officials accountable, then nobody is going to come to your rescue.

Heidi Baur and Onslow County NC non-custodial families

Onslow County NC non-custodial families represent a HUGE amount of voters that come from every racial and cultural background, educational level, political party, and socioeconomic background that if united would make up the single largest lobby group in NC. And you have good reason to unite. For going on 6 decades the family courts and social services agencies have found ways to monetize a breakdown in families through lawyers making money when parents fight for 18 years, social services staff taking kids to get federal and state money, along with keeping the adoption industry happy. Many people at Onslow County Social Services get involved to be hero’s, or to advance some political or gender ideology. Each day, all social services agencies do the most disgusting things to children and families for job justification and more money and it has to stop. But the only way this will stop is when families in this county unite and start having talks with Director Baur and their elected officials.
