Not On My Watch Podcast – Episode 28 - Maureen Steele

In this powerful episode of Not On My Watch, host and investigative journalist Liz Crokin sits down with Maureen Steele of American Made Foundation and American Made Action to discuss how the child “welfare” system has been weaponized against families.

Watch episode 28 above, where Maureen offers historical insight into federal policy, particularly the Clinton-era Adoption and Safe Families Act, which she explains effectively monetized children, transforming Child Protective Services (CPS) into a multi-billion-dollar pipeline where agencies are financially rewarded for removing children and fast-tracking adoptions, rather than reunifying families.

Maureen discusses her organization’s new documentary, “TAKEN: State-Sanctioned Kidnapping,” which features the story of the Rivera family – a Massachusetts family with five children who were ripped from their home after the parents refused a vitamin K shot at a routine doctor’s visit. She explains the genesis of the film and covers how armed officers seized the Rivera children, jailed the parents, and shattered their lives all under the banner of “child protection.” Their case is now at the center of a major legal battle to pierce CPS and judicial “immunity” and hold individuals accountable.

Maureen also highlights the broader pattern of a failed CPS system, including family courts, the medical industry, and parasitic service providers profiting from broken families. At the same time, children are often funneled into abusive foster placements and, some, into the hands of traffickers. This episode serves as both a warning and a call to action, urging viewers to educate themselves, support families under attack, and stand with organizations like American Made and America’s Future to help dismantle this corrupt system and defend America’s children.
