It was a day that they were terrified would never come. The Herrmann family has escaped from Canada and has been reunited in Germany! Teenager Marc Herrmann was slated to stay within the system for the rest of his life after he was taken from his family in late 2013 over allegations of medical neglect. He was misdiagnosed several times, institutionalized, then placed in foster care, despite the urgent pleas of Marc and his family.

After he was falsely labeled as “retarded,” a hearing was scheduled on his 18th birthday to turn him over to the custody of the Canadian Office of Public Guardians. A man whom the family had never met was reportedly waiting in the wings to assume guardianship. Because his parents are German citizens, they were told that there was no way that they could be guardians over their own son. Marc says that he was told repeatedly that if he did not comply with numerous threats, he would never see his family again.

Today, after public outcry and intervention from the German Embassy, the Herrmann family is together again, and safely out of reach of the system that the Herrmanns insist is rife with corruption. They are in Germany. With the help of the German Embassy, they have escaped.

Though they were separated, Marc and his twin Nathan each decided to get Mohawk haircuts within days of each other. Neither knew that the other was doing the same thing!)

German Family Moves to Canada to Homeschool

The family immigrated to Canada in 2007 in order to homeschool the twins, Marc (affectionately known as Marcky) and Nathan. They were born very prematurely, and Marcky’s health issues led their parents, Gottfried and Patricia, to seek to educate them at home, away from the risk of germs and infection in the public school system. Because of difficulties with homeschooling in Germany, the family journeyed to Canada, in order to do what they felt was best for their children. The boy’s older sister remained in their homeland to raise her own family.

Medically Misdiagnosed

The twins loved their new home, embracing the creativity and freedom to pursue their interests, until Marc began experiencing health problems in late 2012. There was an incorrect diagnosis along with a treatment protocol that was not appropriate for what was wrong. There were serious complications from the IVIG treatment, and he began losing weight. The doctor assured them that this was normal. It wasn’t.

When his parents sought further medical care, Canada’s Child and Family Services (CFSA) stepped in and seized custody of Marc. He then spent time in an Eating Disorder Clinic and subsequently in foster care, where he says that he suffered greatly.

Marc Decides to Speak Out

Marcky felt hopeless in state care. He and his family tried everything they could to get back together. After it looked to them that there was little hope of returning home to the family he loves deeply, he began writing and reaching out. The boy labeled as a “retard” in the attempt to imprison him indefinitely in the system writes eloquently of the love of his family, and of the cruelty of the injustices that he faced. Many of his writings have been posted on a Facebook page set up by supporters of the Herrmann family, called A child in Canada. He spoke out about the treatment he was receiving, crying out for someone, anyone, to hear the cries of children trapped in the system.

His family reached out to Health Impact News, and Marc made the courageous decision to take his story to the public. His mother reports that one person within the system confided that Marcky’s brave actions in breaking the silence are opening doors for other children trapped within the system. Marc has been hailed by one supporter as a “little Hero who has opened many doors where Canada has hidden their corruption.”

After Health Impact News published Marcky’s story, which included the contact information for the Family Court Judge and some of the Human Services officials, the Barrister & Solicitor from the Department of Justice in Calgary, Alberta, contacted Health Impact News demanding thet we take down their contact names. However, their contact info was a matter of public record, accessible to anyone on the Internet.

Threats Made by Canadian Government Against Marc Herrmann

After Marcky went public with his story, many people contacted various authorities about his situation, pleading for intervention and justice. However, the move also resulted in numerous threats being made to Marcky, who writes in an email:

I was threatened by Judge Larochelle. He said unless I take down the article from internet I would never get what I want. CFS Huntershorn manager Val Naslund, my social worker Vivian Ibrahim and her supervisor Sean Johnson have told me never to sabotage the Foster Care, never to talk about misdiagnosed Eating Disorder. never to talk about Judge.

And I was not even allowed to talk freely to German Embassy. I was not allowed to call 911 or inform about the abuse done by Doctors and CFS and Foster Care.

Well, I did not even have a phone so I could not even dial 911 when my hand was forced in the gaburator at the Foster Care. I could not even tell anyone when I was told not to use blankets from my home. I could not even tell anyone when I was emotionally abused by Doctors, Foster Place and CFS Workers. There was really no one who could help me. Child Advocates did what they could but they could not spare me from all abuse.

Was Teenager Marc Herrmann Medically Kidnapped As Part of a Cover-Up for Malpractice in Canada?

Family Reunited, But Still Traumatized

On the day before his 18th birthday, the German Embassy helped get Marcky out of Canada. He was met in Germany by his older sister. He stayed with her and his cousins until the rest of the family could get out of Canada and join them.

It was several weeks later before the rest of the family were able to join them. They report being deeply afraid of retaliation. The Canadian government delayed the Herrmanns exit from Canada, reportedly telling the German citizens that they had to have permission to leave the country. After many delays, the family was finally reunited in Germany. They are very happy to be together.

Marcky reports that he is finally able to see doctors who are taking him seriously.

“Like my parents said, I needed real help for my health problems, which I was refused … I am now given a chance to see different doctors who will help me.”

Marcky’s mother Patricia reports that Marcky has been deeply traumatized. She daily sees signs of the deep wounds in her son, and she prays for healing. He is together with his twin brother, and they send many photos of the family cutting up and playing together. A simple thing like going to a restaurant is a big deal, after what he has suffered for the past year and a half.

Marcky Writes About His “Torment” in Foster Care

Marc wanted to make a statement about his experiences, but reports that he found it difficult to think about the events that have happened to him.

“It was the worst time in my life. The pains were not only physically but also mentally and I was forbidden to tell my parents. I was forbidden to say that Child Services ignored the mistakes of Doctors and instead they helped them cover it up. How I felt was not a big deal for them. I was so alone for so long and I do not want to go back to that memory but I understand that if I do not speak up these tortures will keep happening. That is why I tried my best to write.”

This is what Marc Herrmann has to say to the world, in the hopes that his words will help other children trapped in the system:

HOW DO YOU DESTROY NEXT GENERATION OF THE HUMANITY

What I experienced gave me the chance to share this. I am Marcky. I was born too early but my parents helped me survive. No one thought my twin and I would live long but we survived and we became Teens. All went well until I was diagnosed with weak lungs and needed extra Oxygen Machines at home and could not. So I had to pay with my life. I lost my freedom, I lost my family. I lost my friends. I learnt many lessons, the friends from Church Groups slowly disappeared because no one wants to deal with a child who is in the care of CFS.

All I wanted was a second opinion and what was so wrong with that? Why could I not see a Doctor of my choice? Why could I not have my own opinion? It is easy block all my doors to freedom. The Canadian Doctors, Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Child and Family Services and Family Courts they are all corrupt. No one, really no one wants to know the truth.

Today I am home and I am happy but all those memories haunt me day and night. I owe German Embassy and International Laws a huge thanks for saving my life. And I know one thing: As long as there is no one to support children we will always suffer, will be abused, raped and die alone. It was my Journey and I know what I am talking about. I have seen that. I have experienced that.

And all I can say something must be done urgent. I came alive out of the Torture because I turned 18 and I was not a Canadian Citizen. But I am broken and I will need to work on healing. My parents are helping me and I know I will soon be ok. But we children should never have to go through such pains. If my parents would not have given me the best example I would have become an abusive person because that was what I learned from Canadian Doctors and Child Service. I saw lies. I saw emotional abuse. I saw injustice. If I would be a weak person I would have started to take drugs or have killed myself. But I did not because I believed in God and I learned good examples from Mom and Dad. I did nothing good from Medical System or Child Welfare. No one really cared about truth or justice. Is that what we children should learn? Is that what we should give forward to our childrenès children? I do not know what to think.

I have learnt that Humanity is built on families and if you destroy families what will our world look like. I think adults need to admit their mistakes and put aside their pride and arrogance. We children are taught to say the truth and not to harm. But why do adults do not follow natural laws they taught us?

I think we children coming out of the Child Services Care are no longer well balanced because we are all broken. By taking us away from our families they traumatize us. By separating us forcefully just to cover up mistakes of Doctors is for me corruption. The Malpractices should be corrected and Families should be helped but instead child welfare agents are tearing families apart permanently. In other words we children are paying with our lives for the power of these adults and professions.

Child welfare agents are claiming all the while that they are ‘helping children’ but we end up permanently traumatized, killed, raped or became suicidal. If this is called the best interest of children I think it is creep to be a child. Then we are beings without rights. I was lucky enough to be saved. But many are still caught up in that system. I see this way

First they take away our parents

Then they call us crazy

Then they isolate us

Then they keep us away from schooling

Then they threath us not to talk to media

Then they tell us to pretend to have happy hrs when we see our parents

They they tell us that if we talk bad about Foster Care we will not see our parents anymore

Then they tell us that we should not talk bad about CFS , Doctors and Judges

How should the world then know what we are going through

And people wonder why children died in Care

Its so easy to kill us systematically

How should police hear our cry

when we do not even have a phone to call them

Foster people are mostly Doctors

Engineers

Priests

Religious People

No one would point out at them

They can ridicule us

Abuse us

Behind Golden Walls

No one hears

No one sees

No one feels

How many more of us must die

How many more of us must be abused

How many more of us will be called retard

How many more of us will be raped

How many more of us will be used for research

How many more parents must suffer

How many more siblings must suffer

Please do something

Please

In most of those questions, the answer is money.  There is a lot of money to be made from stealing children and not just using them for medical research or sex trafficking.
 
Most people are unaware of how corrupt our law is, that words within do not mean what we think they do and are used against us.
All government paperwork is designed to secretly enslave us.  The marriage license is a contract between the the bride, groom and the STATE where  all agree any fruit produced by the union will belong to the STATE.  To see this, you must look up how words are defined in LAW from either a law dictionary or from the law itself as each written law has definitions attached to it.

The Birth certificate is a warehouse receipt that notifies the banks (Federal Reserve) that another worker has been produced. Our governments borrow money from these banks and their citizens are the collateral.  The STATE then takes the Birth Certificate and creates a Corporation using the Name given on the Birth Certificate.  This Corporation is spelled in all capital letters.  Whenever you see your name in ALL CAPS on any paperwork from the STATE or another CORPORATION, its not you, its the corporation the STATE created to make merchandise of you.  The STATE also creates a BOND in that NAME worth the value they believe you will be able to earn in your lifetime.  In law, you have been enslaved voluntarily and this Bonds purpose is to pay all your bills but because they dont tell you about it, they can steal from it.  Its why they steal children and why they send too many people to jail.

Laws that allowed this were written within the US Constitution, but our founding documents like all others allowed for international laws such as Admiralty law, Roman Civil Law and UCC which are all commercial contract laws between corporations to become the law of the land by incorporating everything including people.  This is what I believe is the Beast system and by accepting the paperwork (by signing and agreeing to the oath on the page) we are unknowingly signing away all our rights and the rights of our children.  

They have no power without our signatures and legal names.  The SS number is also part of this as we are all cataloged like cattle where everyone has his own number so it matters not if there are 1000 JOHN DOES in the world.  This is why they push us to get the social security number right after the child is born.   They use the this number to access the Bond and get money from it while also billing us for taxes and utilities and other forced fees.  


The Christian Bible warns us not to do any of this, so if more people read their Bibles instead of trusting in false teachers…

Tell us “donnaofhouseiehoshua”, how many children have you been able to rescue and bring back to their families using these techniques?

Over the years we have had many people say the exact some things you are saying here. But I can tell you that we have literally dealt with HUNDREDS of cases across this country where children were kidnapped by the State, and never once before taking the children, usually by force, did they stop and check if the children had birth certificates or social security numbers, except one case with a newborn where the parents refused to get either one of those. It made their situation worse, and to this day I don’t think they ever got their child back.

The child kidnappers don’t care. They will take children whether they have these things or not.

Well-meaning people like you have actually caused a lot of harm preying upon desperate parents who believe these things and believe that if they just follow someone’s script they will automatically be able to then get their children back. 

I have never seen it happen, and in some cases it made the situation worse.

About all I can agree with what you wrote is this: “The Christian Bible warns us not to do any of this, so if more people read their Bibles instead of trusting in false teachers…”

Yes, false teachers, like those who promote these kinds of things. The most success we have seen are among those who have support and pray, asking God to move in the hearts of judges and others. We have seen quite a few miracles in this regard, actually.

An international human rights lawsuit will go a long way to bring Marck’s story into the light. Expose the cockroaches to bright light and they scuttle away into the dark corners.

There is a problem in CFS/CPS/Child Protective Services in every country all over the world.  The problem is that children HAVE NO RIGHTS that are recognized by any court.  Parents exercise a child’s rights on his behalf, but all a government has to do is to get the child away from the parents with one document, and make another “guardian” that is controlled by the government, and then the parents do not have “standing” at all in court, no right to advocate for the child.  The child never had any standing in a court on his own behalf, so the child, without the parents, is owned, like a piece of property, by the government.  Governments and doctors and hospitals can do whatever they want with the child, with no one to advocate for the child’s rights to liberty, self-determination, free speech, etc, simply by assigning a guardian that they control.   

We need to remember that when we strip a child of his parents, we are stripping that child of every human right he possesses, his right to self determination and liberty and free speech.  There is no greater right to self-determination than deciding what kind of things will be done to your body.  Forcing medical treatment on a child who is not willing, is similar in many ways to RAPE. 

How can we continue to stand by and allow children to be stripped of every single human right they possess, because they are 17 years and 11 months, instead of 18?   A twelve year old, a fourteen year old, even a five year old, knows when his right to liberty and self-determination and free speech are being violated.   No matter what age you are, you can feel it all the way down to your toenails, when you are being treated unfairly.

How does being one day younger make a person less than human?   Why are children viewed as less than human, and not deserving of human rights. 

Some possible laws….

1) If a parent if found unfit, make it the law that the child must be placed in the care of the nearest adult relative.  

2) If a child is placed with the state appointed guardian, the child must be given a trust fund by the state, a VERY LARGE ONE to start him out in life.  A trust fund that cannot be touched until he is over the age of 18 and controls it himself.   Make the state PAY for the privilege of stealing children.

2) Require, in every state and country, the right of a jury trial when revoking the parent’s right to raise their own child.  Set a time limit.  If the state has not proven, before a jury of the parent’s peers, within a specified time frame (no more than six months should be sufficient), that the parent has committed crimes deserving of the loss of his human rights, then the child should be returned to his parents. 

3) Do not allow medical opinions as evidence in these trials, unless they are related to SPECIFIC AND MEASURABLE findings, such as blood tests or MRI results.   Right now, any crazy or corrupt person with an M.D. after his name can wander into a courtroom and expound on his “opinions”.   We need to put a stop to that.   We need to deal with FACTS when we are stripping a person of their human rights.   

4) Eliminate the “best interests of the child” from court trials.   Parents decide in the best interests of the child.  That’s a human right.  So, when we transfer the right to decide what’s in the best interests of a child from the parent to the judge, BEFORE a jury trial, we are stripping human rights WITHOUT a trial.   That is WRONG.
 
5) Do not allow medical research on a child that is in government care.   Period.  Never, ever.   If doctors want to research on children, they must deal with a parent.  Or — no research.  

6) Grant children rights.  The right to consult an attorney.  The right to visit or speak with the persons of their choice.  The right to apply for Medical Emancipation — to demonstrate that they understand the medical choices before them and can give informed consent (or refusal).   Require that all children be granted the opportunity to visit with a lawyer provided for them by the state, and that they have the right to request any advocate of their own choice to be present with them (such as their parents), that they be informed of ALL of their rights, and that they have a right to petition the court to exercise their own right to self determination in aspects of their case — the choice of doctor, the choice of hospital, the choice of guardian, etc.

Marcy, you are remarkable young man, with great courage and a caring heart.  I am so glad you are free at last, and can now begin to really heal.  Your family should be very proud of you, for speaking out, for all the other children and families, now going through what you all suffered.  I hope your telling your own story will open many more people’s eyes to the abuse happening to innocent children and families.  May God bless you, and your family with the healing power of His love, and the strength you need to speak out about the abuse you suffered, so other children may be freed, and others are never taken.

This is a sad and alarming narration that happened to one family and the child that became a victim.  A must read to know the abuse that goes on in a government run child care program. This addresses a program in Canada; But is any different than those run by the different States in the U.S.  I don’t think so, as I have read many articles on the NET where parents have complained about their children being kidnapped by the authorities because of some really credulous (not credible) reasons.  This stories rendition is a perfect example of that
