LOS ANGELES, CA (04.01.26) Since the late 80’s, American dependency Judges ordered 12 million children into foster care without due process, impartial tribunals, trials, in violation of civil rights under color of law at the direction and behest of state Supreme Courts leading to an explosion in foster care that supplied sex traffickers worldwide including Jeffrey Epstein. By suppressing the civil rights of 12 million children, the states collected a shocking $ 1.7 Trillion for foster care under Title IVE of the SSA without due process in the unspeakable secret, nationwide, corrupt, criminal “Kids for Cash” sex trafficking operation engineered by state Supreme Courts to increase the number of foster children to increase the Title IVE foster care funds.
This is not the first “Kids for Cash” operation run by judges who violated the civil rights of children appearing before them for money. In 2014, the US Attorney prosecuted two Judges under 18 USC 242 in the notorious Penn “Kids for Cash” scandal. In that case, Judges ordered 600 or more children detained without impartial tribunals for kickbacks from the detention centers. The judges were convicted and sentenced to 29 and 17 years in federal prison, respectively.
In contrast to the 2014 case involving two judges, the dependency court “Kids for Cash” sex trafficking operation engineered by state Supreme Courts, involves thousands of judges who ordered 12 million children detained in state foster care since the late 80’s in a comprehensive court corruption scheme to collect $1.7 Trillion under Title IVE for foster care without due process. The dismantling of this massive sex trafficking operation requires isolating the source, the agency that has authority to ensure thousands of judges and lawyers commit federal crimes and to conceal the crimes and shield the judges and lawyers from criminal accountability – the state Supreme Court.
Bottom line, it is counter intuitive to believe thousands of dependency judges in the U.S. randomly chose to commit the same federal crimes on 12 million children for over for four decades to order foster care unless they were following orders from the top and protected from criminal prosecution from the top i.e., the Supreme Court, given the core duty to regulate the legal profession – lawyers – and manage the state judicial system – judges. The High Court writes the detailed rules of the procedure that govern all lower courts, oversees the disciplinary procedures for attorney misconduct, serve as the highest authority, supervising lower courts to ensure efficient administration and uniform application of the law, adopt and enforce the Code of Judicial Conduct, setting the ethical standards for all judges within the state, creates and amends rules of practice and procedure for all state courts, ensuring consistency in how cases are processed, manage the professional conduct, continuing education, and general operations of the judiciary. In most states, the State Bar is under the direct supervision of the state Supreme Court, created to manage the legal profession.
The state Supreme Courts gutted due process and turned foster care into the world’s largest child sex supply chain for traffickers, including Jeffery Epstein [FBI 2012, Newsweek 2018]. According to “rights4girls”, Stopping the Foster Care to Child Trafficking Pipeline, “[T]he crisis of child trafficking and exploitation in the US is finally capturing our attention. But, a critical part of the story has not been told. Most of the children who are being bought and sold for sex in our nation are foster children…Our very broken foster care system has become a supply chain to traffickers”.
According to Newsweek, “We Have Set up a System to Sex Traffic American Children” Jan 12, 2018, “Here’s the ugly truth: most Americans who are victims of sex trafficking come from our foster care system. We have failed our children by not fixing the systemic failures that have allowed this to happen for decades. Most people don’t know about our nation’s foster care to sex trafficking pipeline but the facts are sobering. …in a 2013 FBI 70-city nationwide raid, 60 percent of the victims came from foster care or group homes. In 2012, Connecticut police rescued 88 children from sex trafficking, 86 were from the child welfare system. In 2014, New York authorities estimated that 85% of sex trafficking victims were previously in the child welfare system.” In 2025, Los Angeles County paid the rape claims of nearly 7000 former foster children for a record $ 5 Billion.
Currently, four hundred thousand [400K] children are trapped in the “Kids for Cash” supply chain like chattel, without due process, without impartial tribunals in violation of the 14th Amendment. The children’s courageous mothers and fathers formed an unprecedented nationwide Parent Whistle Blower Coalition led by veteran civil rights lawyers, Wallace Pate, to expose and dismantle the criminal “Kids for Cash” supply chain, release the children to their families, end child sex trafficking, and hold judges and lawyers accountable to the fullest extent of 18 USC 242 and 241.
The Coalition is a vast, expansive, nationwide, network composed of parents in every state who collected evidence that proves beyond a reasonable doubt, that lawyers committed federal crimes under 18 USC 241 and judges committed federal crimes under 18 USC 242 in every state: no trial on the merits by court appointed lawyers, no advisement of trial rights by judges, no waiver of trial rights by the parent, and foster care orders without due process to increase Title IVE funding.
The coalition data also proves the nationwide coverup that could only be arranged by the Supreme Court in each state as stated above, to wit: the commission on judicial performance is instructed not to discipline dependency judges for ordering foster care without due process which are federal crimes under 18 USC 242; court appointed appeals lawyers in the CAP program are instructed not to file appeals based on due process violations by the lawyers and judges, that would compel the return of the children, which are federal crimes under 18 USC 241; and the State Bar is instructed not to discipline dependency lawyers for violating the civil rights of their clients which are federal crimes under 18 USC 241.
In addition, dependency cases are confidential in each state with highly restrictive access and severe penalties including contempt of court if information is released without court order preventing media coverage. However, the restrictions do not apply to parents and advocates who expose federal crimes committed by corrupt judges and lawyers that increase and expand Title IVE and the foster care sex trafficking chain.
The search for justice to give voice to the voiceless, dismantle the “Kids for Cash” supply chain, and free 400K children, has strong public support. The mission begins with nationwide exposure of the truth. The “journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step”. Tao Te Chng.
