CBS 11 News was on the scene as officers with the Dallas Police Department and Child Protective Services took custody of the 9-month-old boy on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Brian and Cathy Carpich said that they met with CPS and were told that the camp was, in their words, an unhealthy living environment. The couple cannot get their boy, Zachariah, back until their living situation improves.<\/p>\n<p>There were plenty of tears coming from the family after they returned from a meeting with a woman who they called their CPS caseworker. \u201cIt\u2019s not against the law,\u201d pleaded Brian Carpich. \u201cWe\u2019ve not broken any laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meeting started a few hours earlier, after police \u2013 who assisted CPS agents \u2013 took the small boy away from his parents. Police explained that they were acting on an \u201copen child welfare case\u201d dating back to September, but that a call from within the downtown Dallas camp prompted Thursday\u2019s actions. \u201cThe complaint was a child in the encampment that was pretty much screaming and crying all night, and folks were concerned about it,\u201d said Lt. Anthon Williams with the Dallas Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife and baby get clothed every day,\u201d Brian Carpich continued to argue.<\/p>\n<p>Carpich acknowledged having a criminal history, but contended that his son had all of the essential diapers and necessities, and that their tent even received heat. Still, the parents unwillingly turned Zachariah over to authorities. After meeting with CPS, they returned to the camp without their son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re already in a program for housing,\u201d explained Carpich. \u201cThey\u2019ve basically screwed up, because the child was part of us getting housing, which we\u2019ve been waiting for since March.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The family\u2019s problems have created another concern for the \u2018Occupy Dallas\u2019 organizers. CBS 11 News has learned that the campers are so unhappy with their current conditions that organizers are planning to temporarily move the protest in hopes that local homeless and squatters will leave the movement. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a large amount of unsavory elements which have gotten plenty of media coverage,\u201d said protest organizer Reagan Clark. \u201cJust made people feel unsafe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police had already arrested a man \u2013 a registered sex offender \u2013 who had been accused of sexually assaulting a minor.<\/p>\n<p>Officers from the Dallas Police Department met with \u2018Occupy Dallas\u2019 campers Thursday night to help build cooperation and prevent further problems. Chaplins and social service workers also went tent-to-tent to ensure the safety of any children living in the camp.<\/p>\n<p>Reagan explained that camp organizers are planning to select peacekeepers \u2013 who have passed background checks \u2013 to help secure the campsite.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
