<blockquote><p>Thomas Ball, like millions of others, learned that the people who choose this profession have an unfailing ability to exploit even the tiniest opportunity to invade a home and destroy a family.</p>
<p>One evening in April 2001, Mr. Ball suffered a momentary lapse of patience with a disobedient four-year-old daughter and slapped her face. He left the house at his wife&#8217;s suggestion. When he called her a short time later, he learned that his wife &#8212; &#8220;the type that believes that people in authority actually know what they are talking about&#8221; &#8212; had called the police, who told her that her &#8220;abusive&#8221; husband wasn&#8217;t permitted to sleep in his own home that night. Ball was arrested at work the following day. Under the conditions of his bail, he wasn&#8217;t allowed to ask his wife what had possessed her to call the police.</p>
<p>Years later Ball would learn that if his wife hadn&#8217;t called the police and accused her husband of abuse, <em>she</em> would have been arrested as an accessory &#8212; leaving the children at the mercy of New Hampshire&#8217;s utterly despicable <a href="http://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dcyf/index.htm">Division of Children, Youth, and<br />
Families</a> (DCYF).</p>
<p>Dot Knightly, <a href="http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2010/10/nobody-gets-their-kids-back.html">who tried vainly for years to win custody of three grandchildren seized on the basis of spurious abuse and neglect accusations</a>, recounts how a DCYF commissar contemptuously batted away both her pleas and her abundant qualifications to serve as a custodial caretaker: &#8220;Nobody gets their kids back in New Hampshire. The government gives us the power to decide how these cases turn out.<br />
Everyone who fights us loses.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despairing over being wrested away from everyone he loved, Dot&#8217;s grade-school age grandson Austin &#8212; who had literally been dragged screaming from his grandparents&#8217; home &#8212; tried to commit suicide. This led to confinement in a psychiatric hospital and involuntary &#8220;treatment&#8221; with mind-destroying psychotropic drugs. For New Hampshire&#8217;s child-snatchers, the phrase &#8220;nobody gets their kids back&#8221; translates into a willingness to destroy the captive children by degrees, rather than allow any successful challenge to their supposed authority.</p>
<p>The instant the police intervened in the domestic affairs of Thomas Ball&#8217;s household, his family&#8217;s destruction became inevitable. The officers were required &#8212; not by law, but by official policy that followed profit incentives created by Washington &#8212; to make an arrest. In a similar fashion, and for the same reason, prosecutors are forbidden to drop domestic abuse cases under any circumstances.</p>
<p>Ball recalled that he was eventually found not guilty, much to the visible disgust of the be-robed dispenser of official injustice who presided at the trial. But this made no material difference: His wife &#8212; who divorced him six months after his arrest &#8212; was now a consort of the State, his children were its property. His innocence notwithstanding, Ball was given an open-ended sentence of serfdom &#8212; and the prospect of being sent to debtor&#8217;s prison &#8212; through government-mandated &#8220;child support&#8221; system. Furthermore, he wasn&#8217;t permitted to see his children, despite the fact that a jury had found him innocent.</p>
