FightCPS does not advocate or condone violence or illiegal activities of any kind.
FightCPS is intended to help people learn enough about the law to be able to successfully defend themselves and their families against false accusations using legal documents and strategies that put parents in a stronger position when they go back to court.
For more information, see the FAQ.
Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.
Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.
Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.
Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.
Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.
CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.
Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.
It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.
Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.

Fighting Child Protective Services False Accusations
March 18, 2007
A Georgia child welfare administrator for the Department of Children and Family Services (DFCS) has been arrested for felony child cruelty according to news reports. The accused woman, Cylenthia Clark, 38, is an assistant director for Fulton County DFCS.
On March 13, 2007 News4Jax.Com published this article:DFCS Official Accused Of Spanking Daughter With Belt. According to this news report the accusation came after school officials reported that the accused woman’s eight-year-old daughter had marks on her back and legs.
The mother apparently has confessed that she forced her daughter to strip down to underwear, then spanked her with a belt. She claims this isn’t child abuse and that it was done because the girl misbehaved at school.
The eight year old girl and her three sisters, ages 6, 5, and 3, have all been placed in protective custody.
Because of this accusation Cylenthia Clark is having second thoughts about how child abuse cases are handled. She is quoted as saying, “It makes me very empathetic; it makes me look at some of the cases that we handle. It’s something that down the line that it’s something that we are really following through and getting all the questions answered before we assume that person is guilty.”
And that’s a good point. Is she guilty? In America we are supposed to be considered innocent before proven guilty, however for thirty years parents have complained that in child abuse cases they are considered guilty first, then forced to prove their innocence. It can be very difficult to prove that something didn’t happen when government-paid experts are saying it could have.
What seems strange to me is that the arrest warrant states that the beating took place on February 7 but the school personnel didn’t see the welts until February 28. That’s 21 days later, and welts were still visible? If that’s correct, the injuries must have been severe.

I believe her. I was terrified of my son when he was on drugs and DFCS protected him. I had to send him to WWASP programs to be safe. I had to spend everything I had. Kids need corporal punishment.My son is a human being now.

State Senator Nancy Shaefer is one legislator who is working towards cleaning up DFCS State wide. Please give her your support.
senatornancyschaefer@alltel.net
And don’t forget to contact the Governor’s Office with your complaints.at 404-656-1776 or fax your complaint with your documentation to 404-657-5947
Keep the pressure on DFCS CPS workers especially. The abuse by DFCS leaves deeper scars than a parent’s spanking will ever leave.
God Bless!

I met Cylenthia and she was not a DFCS worker that went out snatching children. She processed paper work and stuff like that. The fact that she lost her children is an example of how the system eats it’s own. Cylenthia showed support to me as what had happened to us all is horrible. we need to support each other no matter what. Just because she was a social worker does not mean she was evil. There are a few good ones out there and it’s the good ones that suffer just like us.

This is a very sad case. unfortunately this is happening to many people throughout GA and other states as well. I am currently having a run in with DFCS and they tryied to make me give up custody of my kids. Fortunately I was smart enought to do some research and dig up their manual and I did a phone consultation with a Lawyer to educate myself on my rights. For those that need it here is the manual for the GA DFCS http://www.odis.dhr.state.ga.us/3000_fam/3030_cps/MAN3030.doc. There are imbedded links that will tell you wheat to expect of your CPS worker. In the start you need to document everything date, time, names I mean everything. My case worker refused to put anything in writting. I think about the poor parent that might not have known their rights and let some CPS worker trick them into giving up their parental rights or sign some blank form allowing the CPS worker to fill in the blanks. You can cooperate without giving up your rights and your children. The one thing that I want to know that I can’t seem to find out is who regulates this process outside of GA. Is there someone in WA? What is the chain of command for these DFCS office and their CPS workers?

I’m sorry people,but we have documented more then just a (child custody predater),total corruption in every fashion and form with-in the family court system, DFCS and much more.Cooperating is one thing,watching them force you in corrupt procedures to surrender custody of your child(ren) truely is off the charts.We hope to someday tell everyone just what they did to us and what we found out about the judges,attornies.The plaintiffs that kidnapped a child from DFCS in 1981.The real mastermind kidnapper walked free on kidnapping,but charged for selling drugs.Then it happen again every 10 years 93 then 2003,more childrenI targeted.It hurts that no one helped us while this happen in Canton Georgia’s corrupt little world. I could tell you more about this little world of Canton Georgia.Various officials are in a power struggle.They have things to hind.We know a few things.

has anyone asked themselves what happen to children taken by Child Protective Services (CPS)? How many of those children dropped out of school? How many of those kids tried suicide after State took custody or involvement? How many don’t have a place to live? How many of them are strained from their family? Are there real statistical data that answer this? Ms. Clark’s children are suffering. After the State of Georgia closed its case, the mother continues to fight for her children spending 10k of dollars even though the juvenile court returned her kids on paper. Her children went from being A/B student to academic challenges plus emotional deprivation. They went from happiness to misery. The child in the story is truly suffering. Who did GA CPS help? Why are elected officials not calling for statics on the outcome of CPS involvement? The answer is they do not care. Be careful who you elect!

Maybe they will see what they are doing when they are victimizing us with their lies. I am a victim, and my sister helped them to kidnap my daughter.
The only problem is that the judges here are so on the side of DFACS that they won;t listen to the parents, they just rubber stamp the documents and lies the DFACS workers put in front of them.
We need to wake up America and get rid of CPS before we have more problems than we already have.
Children are already killing their parents, who are giving them every thing because we are not allowed to discipline. Children are taking weapons to school because there is no discipline, yet the laws regarding discipline of children are getting stricter.
Where will it end?
Comment by Lynn — June 24, 2009 @ 5:17 pm
I am trying to start a petition to change the laws here in GA in reference to CPS and Rights of the Parents. This is also to address the impartiality in dealing with the judges and judicial system in alleged deprivation cases. I also would like to start a protest here in Georiga. The only road to change is allowing yourself to be heard.
