The state of Arizona, which has the infamous reputation of removing the highest percentage of children in the U.S. from their homes and families through Child Protective Services, has now also been exposed as having a very corrupt foster care network that includes pedophile rings where young children are imprisoned in state-approved foster homes and trafficked to pedophiles. In a developing story based out of the military town of Sierra Vista, Arizona, the home of Fort Huachuca, David Frodsham, a former commander with the Department of Defense in Afghanistan who was discharged from duty due to “sexual harassment” behavior and an assessment by the military that he had an unalterable personality disorder, has been arrested and convicted of operating a pornographic pedophile ring based out of his state-approved foster home. Health Impact News first reported on the charges brought against David Frodsham and his wife who were state-approved foster parents last year with the story of the young child Devani, who was seized from her family just days before her second birthday and placed into the Frodshams' state-approved foster home where she was allegedly raped repeatedly and trafficked as part of an organized pornographic pedophile ring. After David Frodsham was arrested due to a federal investigation, Devani was placed into another state-approved foster home where 80% of her body was burned by scalding water, forcing the amputation of some of her toes. Now, another foster child who was adopted by the Frodshams and put into their pornographic pedophile ring has turned 18 and come forward to reveal details of years of horrible torture and sexual trafficking while suing the state of Arizona for damages of $15 million. How can this be happening today in the United States? How can we be talking about "making America great again" when this kind of child sex trafficking is happening right here in our own borders?

I second Melinda on that.

Also, it is not clear why Health Impact news present Mr.Trump's executive order, which deals with foreign human rights violators, as an indicator that he will be implementing some measures to stop the child trafficking sponsored by DHS. Spending the taxpayer money on going after human rights 'violators' all over the world, while ignoring the horrific violations happening in its own country has been a cornerstone of the U.S. policy for decades. The executive order cited by H.I. news shows that Trump is no different from his predecessors.

If Mr.Trump truly cared about American people, he would have signed an order that would address the situation in his homeland first. He would have disbanded CPS and had the police force deal with child abuse complaints in a Constitutional way by using due process.

Irene,

The reason we speculated about this on Health Impact News, is because of the tie in with this story, including the legal claim we linked to, which mentions the NYT article about Afghanistan. We really do not know why feds stepped into this situation and took action, when allegedly this kind of abhorrent behavior is happening all over the U.S.

So we are speculating that investigations into these pedophile rings abroad, such as in Afghanistan, could be leading to investigations here as well when those foreign investigations find ties here in the U.S.

But this is pure speculation, and we are not suggesting that DHS child welfare services are being targeted at this point for child trafficking (although they should be!)

We strongly object to the following language used in the Notice of Claim for the 18 year old boy who was tortured by the Frodsham's for more than a decade. ----> by Lynne Cadigan "These children, like John Doe, after suffering trauma and abuse in their own home, are taken into the legal custody of the State, ostensibly to protect them from further abuse. However, these children then suffer even more abuse once in the “care” of the State."

The automatic assumption that all children seized by DCS have been abused by their parents is false 90% of the time. DCS comes up with the most ridiculous allegations against parents that would never stand up in a lawful court. Proper sworn warrants under penalty of perjury would put a dent in DCS trafficking of children in this state.
