Tracee Bosch, CPS Social Worker’s email regarding posts critical of CPS practices, makes clear she is unmindful of the most basic component of freedom of expression is the right of freedom of speech. That it is an Abuse of Authority for a CPS Social Worker (Public Official) to threaten custody of children (Liberty Interest) in attempt to silence free speech on a matter of public interest.

 

TRACEE : ” I would stop doing what you are doing currently and what you have in the past two years because you will lose your children altogether if you continue….If you lose your children for good because you can’t do these things, what do you think the kids will think as they grow older about your “fight”? do you think they will be proud of you or sad that you were stuck in the muck and couldn’t think about what their needs were because you were too caught up in proving/disproving things?”  

 

As a Child Protection Worker Tracee Bosch has no immunity for acts intent to violate constitutional protections and threaten a mother’s care and custody of children.   

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. See U.S. Const. amend. I.

Freedom of expression consists of the rights to freedom of speech, press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and the implied rights of association and belief. The Supreme Court interprets the extent of the protection afforded to these rights. The First Amendment has been interpreted by the Court as applying to the entire federal government even though it is only expressly applicable to Congress. Furthermore, the Court has interpreted, the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as protecting the rights in the First Amendment from interference by state governments. See U.S. Const. amend. XIV.

 

The ACLU defended the parent child relationship recently where expert testimony established that children can be mentally and emotionally harmed if the child’s relationship with a parent is permitted to be severed.  Tracee Bosch’s acts therefore in imposing prolonged separations of Lea from her children could indeed be the cause of mental harm rather than the mother as CPS workers claim.   At this time Lea’s rights are yet again suspended and based solely on CPS refusal to allow mother to document supervised parenting time sessions electronically.   The layers of rights violated by Tracee Bosch and the CPS “treatment team” Carver County Minnesota are indeed a matter of public concern if not public safety.
