IN the 1800’s.
Native American Choctaw history,
in the deep South, women from the tribe laid stones just below the surface of a river.
At night, wearing white gowns, carrying candles,
they would meet slaves at the rivers edge
and in their illumination,
lead slaves to freedom across this lightly submerged path.
They appeared as angels to the slaves, who passed the process to become freedmen.
Here is the children’s book on same.

This glossary and the YouTube videos are designed to help the public ask more exact questions about HHS CPS, and law enforcement response……
Campaign for Clarity, what is the goal?
and possibly to generate a better service for children, youth, young adults and families.
The President of the United States, who is Barack Obama is over all branches of government.
Health and Human Services is a division of federal government who is directed currently by Sylvia Burwell Maxwell. It was recently under a man named Joseph Bock.
The next tier is the ACF, the Administration to Children and Families.
The next tier is the CB the Children’s Bureau
Then your community service of Health and Human Services.
There is a branch of the Office of Civil Rights OVER record keeping and services provision in HHS CPS, but it is different than the general Office of Civil Rights under USDOJ, FYI.
In Oklahoma, HHS/CPS is called the Department of Human Services.
In Georgia, the Department of Family and Children’s Services
In North Carolina, it is called the Department of Social Services.
Each state has it’s own name for their program.
These programs are under the ACF/CB… which has one person appointed often for multiple states. That is reviewed in separate video.
These terms, on this document are written to match this video, as friend identified people might want this information expanded. Each video is only 15 minutes long, so lots of explaining or re-explanation is unrealistic.
So this video is what is being referenced. You might wish to watch it first, or you might want to print off these terms, so you can use them when watching this video.

Here we go!
1 a) Community liaison is a person or persons who are supposed to make some kind of supportive connections or provide explanations, services to the public related to a service in question.
2 a) Law could be regarding city, county, state, federal or international issues. Laws have to be written, discussed and voted upon by electeds or by the people and SIGNED as the rule of the law by an authority.
3 a) Policy is usually referring to something within a group, guiding how it will do business. SOME AGENCY policy is guided by state statutes ( by law) Other, is merely written after agreements within the agency on how to do something….. so decided by whomever is working there at a certain point in time.
OKDHS would have a policy book on dealing with CPS issues, but that would be separate from a book on dealing with TANF or housing, each controlled by separate rules for making THOSE rules.
4 a) Clause is some amendment to an existing plan of action, which usually adds something extra or conditions to add or remove something if certain conditions exist.
5 a )Custom is simply HOW things have been done, informally prescribed…. ” we have always done it that way”.
6 a) MOU is probably the most famous, College Rape MOU is a sex assault agreement from the feds in the US DEPT of EDUCATION about how sex assault reports and all following services are handled by COLLEGES> See that this is a published requirement with federal punishment coming in part with fees and fines for non-compliance.
SEE that HHS/CPS nor law enforcement are the locus of control for sex assault response on THIS MOU.
7 a) So, an MOU is an agreement, typically jointly held between groups which acts as less than a law, but more than a policy or gentleman’s agreement of how certain problems or resources would be handled at a certain point in time. TYPICALLY, MOU’s are not published, and not available to the public. So see that the COLLEGE RAPE MOU is unusual, in and of itself, but also in who the players are on the topic and that it is so public.
8 a ) Many MOU are held behind the scenes, and my question has been if there are other MOU or like agreements which make it possible for OTHER methods of dealing with sexual assault may exist. In other videos I have referenced this as the USDOJ Hallpass, http://youtu.be/kDaUjjs60Ik
9 a) I have since been told that what I am trying to talk about is probably called a RULE OF EVIDENCE so that is what is acceptable to a prosecutor or court as evidence in an investigation
10 a) I discovered there is something called “Unfounding” http://youtu.be/VTqMCaX6yhI which is a rule that says that police or cps can refuse to take a report on an issues. OR can dilute, delete, reorder the report at will. This is considered an unethical act by a group known as PERF, and they also consider this to be a Human Rights Violation. Not all police are guided by the beliefs of this organization, of PERF http://www.policeforum.org/
11 a) Yet with all this discussion, I am WHOLLY unable to get ANYONE in or out of govenrment to tell me what the rule is. POLICY< CUSTOM< LAW < MOU OR CLAUSE or something ELSE.
12 a ) Federal oversight has to do with an upper level federal group checking on a lower level group.
So the public often is taught that upper levels of government, have direct oversight over things in the community. That is kind of true, but mostly NOT true on issues of HHS/CPS.
