Answers

Who is Nate Tseglin?
Nate Tseglin is a 17 y.o. boy, who lead a normal life, went to a regular 
school, participated in community activities, sports and was regarded by his 
teacher and friends as kind, polite and smart student. Nate is fluent in 
Russia, English, Hebrew and also was studying Spanish, French, German and 
Italian. Nate has been leaving with his parents and a younger brother.

What happened to Nate?
Nate's impulsive behaviors began in 2005, he had developed a system of 
comfort that included isolating himself in his room or asking his parents to 
apply soft restrains or remove them when he regained control over his 
impulses. The environment in which they were used was always safe and didn’t 
hurt him emotionally because of absence of enforcement. Indeed, he regained 
his functional life back by attending school, sports, swimming, community 
participation, concerts, library and living with his own family. Nate was 
well on his way to recovery, slow but steady. His seizures ceased. He was 
absolutely physically healthy and functional. He was not dangerous to himself 
and was appropriately managed so that the community was not jeopardized. On 
January 12, 2007, the CPS requested a team of four sheriffs forcefully removed 
Nate from our family, against Nate’s own will. Unfortunately, it was a 
tragically mistaken decision that has cost immeasurable suffering for Nate and 
his family up through today. Since then his life has been completely messed 
up and he is without his family vital support and advocacy. The people who 
have Nate in custody force psychotropic medications on him, sometimes in 
extremely high quantities. Even with significantly lower dose psychotropic 
drugs that they force on him, the effect of these drugs was so devastating 
that Nate was admitted few times to the ER of the different hospitals to treat 
his induced life threatening condition. 

What is Asperger Syndrome?
Asperger Syndrome (AS) is one of several autism spectrum disorders (ASD) 
characterized by difficulties in social interaction and by restricted, 
stereotyped interests and activities. AS is distinguished from the other ASDs 
in having no general delay in language or cognitive development.

What is CPS (Child Protective Service) suppose to represent?
The Child Protective Services Division investigates reports of abuse and 
neglect of children. It also provides services to children and families in their own homes,
places children in foster care, provides services to help youth in foster care make the transition to adulthood
and places children in adoptive homes.

The role of CPS in Nate Tseglin's case
To really understand and have a clear picture of the atrocities of the 
organization that supposed to protect kids, read the detailed description of 
CPS abuse of Nate go to http://www.getnatehome.com/timeline.html  
an excerpt: 
Dec 2006. CPS sends a social worker to Nate's home. She tells the family to 
sign up and agreement for a mental evaluation of Nate by Court. The judge 
ordered a phychological evaluation and aslo ordered that the custody of Nate 
was to be given to CPS although he would temporarily stay with the parents. 
During the hearing, the court-appointed lawyer proposed the removal of Nate 
from his home and his placement in a group home. The parents did not suggest 
or desire such a suggestion or outcome.
Jan 2007. Lilian Asoera, a social worker from CPS, called at 12pm. She said 
that she and her co-worker Julie Weathersby were going to visit the home and 
talk to Nate. She asked when the family would be home and they told her they 
would be there in an hour.
Social workers Lilian Asoera and Julie Weathersby did not show up to talk to 
Nate. At 2:20pm four sheriff deputies entered the Tseglin’s home, provoked 
violence, and removed Nate from the apartment in handcuffs. The social workers 
were waiting outside while the arrest was going on and Nate was dragged 
barefoot to the police car. The sheriff deputies did not have a court order. 
Instead they had a letter from Dr. Nakhshab who had never seen Nate prior to 
that date and who was hired by CPS to do a psychological evaluation on Nate. 
The letter bases the removal on Tarasow’s law – which relies on the premise 
that the person being removed is a danger to himself and others. The question 
is how this doctor knew Nate’s condition without ever having been in his 
presence.

What is Habeas corpus?
In common law countries, Habeas corpus (Latin: [We command] that you have the body) is
the name of a legal action, or writ, through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention of 
himself or another person. The writ of habeas corpus has historically been an 
important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against 
arbitrary state action.
