Declaration of Constitutional Grievances

Preamble

This Declaration sets forth constitutional grievances grounded in established doctrine. It addresses systemic violations within child welfare and family court proceedings affecting parents and children as separate constitutional persons.

Grievance I — Procedural Due Process

Parent Perspective

Parents are deprived of liberty in family integrity without timely notice or meaningful hearing.

Child Perspective

Children are seized and displaced without representation or procedural safeguards.

Legal reasoning: Due process protections apply to both parents and children (Santosky; In re Gault).
