Disagree with your child’s doctor and you may get a visit from a SWAT team. Child Protection Service, state legislators and the juvenile courts are using federal child protection acts to expand their police powers. In Arizona members of the judicial system set up a lobbying group called the Arizona Judicial Council. The group pushes for legislation that will expand the police powers of the judiciary including legislation that, reduces high school graduation standards for foster care children, require all members of a household to undergo background checks before a child can be returned to their parents, another bill to keep children in foster care until they are 21 years old and a bill that would give court security police powers with authority to operate anywhere.
