You will soon have no rights over your own children: The government will be sending in specialists to evaluate your children medically, emotionally, physically, … for 5 medical conditions. “The federal definition of developmental screening for special education also includes what they call socioemotional screening, which is mental health screening,” Dr. Effrem said. “Mental health screening is very subjective no matter what age you do it.

Proposals would give Washington unprecedented control over children
The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to debate two bills that could give the federal government unprecedented control over the way parents raise their children – even providing funds for state workers to come into homes and screen babies for emotional and developmental problems.
The Pre-K Act (HR 3289) and the Education Begins at Home Act (HR 2343) are two bills geared toward military and families who fall below state poverty lines. The measures are said to be a way to prevent child abuse, close the achievement gap in education between poor and minority infants versus middle-class children and evaluate babies younger than 5 for medical conditions.
‘Education Begins at Home Act’ – HR 2343
HR 2343 is sponsored by Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., and cosponsored by 55 Democrats and 11 Republicans. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that implementing the Education Begins at Home Act would cost taxpayers $190 million for state home visiting, plus “such sums as may be necessary” for in-hospital parent education.
