Child Protective Services: tried to have myself arrested for being negligent in providing mental healthcare for my son, but was told they couldn't do that.

AZ Congressman Russell Pearce JUST introduced a bill to exempt Attorneys in service of a government entity-- (e.g., County Prosecutors) from discipline regarding practice of law!
The AZ ACLU: what proof did I have that his rights had been violated? No, ma'am--not the Constitutional ones, the ones under Arizona Revised Statutes? Are they THAT different???
Oprah (YES! Winfrey!!!) hung up!-- not your publicist, dear, your agent-- we merely wanted your PUBLIC OPINION, knowing you'd be outraged at this treatment of a child.
E. J. Montini of the Arizona Republic told me that there was no point in pursuing this matter: if Andrew Thomas said the boy is a terrorist, then the boy is a terrorist.

The Line-Up didn't have the courtesy to cancel, knowing they had no intention of airing our segment. In fact, they haven't updated their website in a couple months: they're still advertising our "exclusive interview."
