Is NH Guilty of Taking Children From Disabled Parents?

Recently there have been articles popping up all over the Internet regarding bias by CPS/DCYF and the Court's removing children from disabled parent's. Is NH one of these states? Your dam right it is!

According to the ADA: http://www.jaapl.org/content/30/3/355.full.pdf
On July 26, 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was intended as
a broad, national, civil rights–oriented mandate “for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with
disabilities,” both physical and mental. ADA protection is extended, in limited form, to those with addiction
disorders. However, many addicted individuals are denied ADA protection because of exclusionary criteria in the
ADA itself and because of increasingly restrictive interpretations of the ADA in recent cases. The benefit to the
addicted persons, and to the larger society, is lost when unfair discriminatory practices preclude employment of
otherwise qualified, though stigmatized, individuals. The ADA currently falls short, in many respects, of preventing
such discrimination against those with addictions.

Persons with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence are protected,
but those with drug dependence are protected only if they are
in treatment or have completed a treatment program, and are
not “currently” using illegal drugs    


Note: So according to ADA guidelines, doesn't that make it ILLEGAL to steal a child from a recovering addict? An addict forced out of treatment by the Court?
 According to SAMSHA guidelines, this is illegal also:
See:

Child Welfare System.  May judges, prosecuting attorneys, and others in the child 
welfare system require parents to end their participation in MAT in order to get their 
children back or to keep their children?
No.  Courts and other government agencies may not single out people in MAT 
and require them to stop taking legally prescribed medications.  Such a 
requirement would be no different than telling an insulin-dependent, diabetic 
parent that she may not have her children back unless she stops taking insulin 
and addresses her diabetes through nutrition and exercise alone.  Courts may, 
however, require people in MAT to comply with treatment requirements. 


NH is not only guilty of taking children from recovering addicts and alcohol dependent parents, but they are also guilty of taking children from parents with physical and mental disabilities. 
So why does NH DCYF and the Family Courts continue to Steal children from disabled parents? 
Why do they continue to receive Title IV funding for these illegally stolen children?
Do the ADA guidelines mean nothing? Evidently Not! Not in NH any way!
