Protect Your Freedmen Family: How the Parental Rights & Child Protection Declaration Helps

Across the country, Verified Freedmen families are encountering harmful legislation, school policies, and medical procedures that strip away parental rights and expose children to irreversible decisions without proper oversight. In direct response, the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust has launched the Verified Freedmen Parental Rights & Child Protection Program—a trust-based legal tool to restore and enforce family authority.

What the Declaration Establishes

At the center of this initiative is the Verified Freedmen Parental Rights & Child Protection Declaration. This is a formal, legally grounded declaration issued by the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust and protected under Trust Law. It asserts independent jurisdiction and legal standing over minor children of Verified Freedmen and provides three critical protections:

• Full Parental Authority

• An Official Opt-In Process

• Private Legal Enforcement through the Trust

How This Declaration Helps Prevent Child Removal

Many Verified Freedmen families face the threat of wrongful child removal based on cultural misclassification, biased CPS investigations, or school-based referrals. The Declaration:

• Creates legal notice of private jurisdiction, showing the child is already under active oversight;

• Provides documented proof of informed parental objection to unauthorized interventions;

• Enables the Trust to act as a third-party advocate and enforcer, issuing legal demands or cease-and-desist letters when institutions overstep;

• Establishes that the family is not legally neglected or ungoverned, but rather under structured protection by a nationally recognized private entity.

This makes it significantly harder for agencies to claim “justified removal” and exposes them to civil liability for violating Trust governance.

What Happens If a Child Is Removed

If a Verified Freedmen minor is removed from the home after the parent has opted into the program, the following actions can be initiated:

1. Emergency Declaration Activation

The Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust will issue an internal declaration of cultural violation and may escalate the case to the American Freedmen Legal Fund (AFLF) for enforcement.

2. Immediate Legal Notice to CPS or State Agency

The Trust will send a formal legal objection and declaration of jurisdiction to the entity responsible for the removal. This notice will include:

• The child’s Minor Protection Index (MPI) ID;

• The Opt-In Form and Declaration on file;

• A warning of potential legal action for breach of private governance.

3. Motion for Injunction or Emergency Hearing (If Applicable)

Depending on the state and the urgency of the situation, AFLF may assist the family in filing an emergency motion for injunction, protective order, or return hearing. This reinforces that the child is not legally “unprotected” and is instead governed by the Trust’s authority.

4. Formal Complaint to Civil Rights or Oversight Bodies

In cases where state actors fail to recognize or acknowledge the parental rights documented in the Declaration, the Trust may escalate to:

• Title VI complaint (if discrimination is based on cultural identity);

• Civil lawsuit under constitutional or trust violations;

• Public and donor-backed exposure of agency overreach.

Why This Structure Works

Unlike public policy groups or general nonprofits, the Freedmen Reparations Fund Trust operates as a private trust with standing and internal documentation already on record. This means:

• Verified Freedmen families are not treated as unregulated;

• Trust documentation provides standing in court, through AFLF;

• Civil agencies and schools are pre-warned that the family is not subject to ordinary assumptions of dependency or neglect.

This legal framing increases the chances of reversal, enforcement, or settlement if a child is wrongly removed.
