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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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.

  2. Please pray for us we need God’s help.
    WE HAVE A LEGAL SYSTEM WITH NO JUSTICE.
    WHEN T. ALEX HICKMAN WAS ELECTED JUSTICE MINISTER IN SEPTEMBER 1966, IT STARTED A LEGAL SYSTEM WITHOUT JUSTICE, WHICH REMAINS IN PLACE TO THIS DAY.

    Politicians names and faces change in Ottawa, Ont. and St. John’s, Nl. but the Corruption continues to rule our country. I spent from April to October, 7 months, in Ottawa, on Parliament Hill, with permits, handing out 12,000 information sheets, and 7000 more in Newfoundland, about what happened to my family, and a sheet with each, on a Book about my family, PLAYING WITH THE DEVIL, by Martha Jetta, of Paranormal Books, and still no-one has resolved this INJUSTICE. A simple DNA test would see Justice served. The system protects itself, not the public.

    Page # 1
    handout

    If T. Alex Hickman, the Justice Minister and then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, from 1966 to 2000, rapes and impregnates your 12 year old child, how do you get justice in this Province when the reports go back to the criminal who did the crime? I’ve reported this cime and other incest and abuse in my family, for more than 40 years, to all authorities and RCMP who ignored us as children, but they admit they still have 3 of my reports but won’t release them. Many other reports of abuse were made by 3 sisters and one brother. We are left in Canada without even basic human rights or protection under Canadain Laws. No lawyer will represent us and the last lawyer I acked told me, if any lawyer, in this province, tried to represent you, it would be the last job they ever do as a lawyer in this province. The Legal System has done nothing to help, it’s been completely controlled here by T. Alex Hickman, for 34 years and he still, in retirement, has control.

    Please ask our Prime Minister, Mr. Stephen Harper, at pm@pm.gc.ca and ask our Premier, Mr. Danny Williams, at premier@gov.nl.ca to give our family justice. Visit our information website at http://maxpages.com/sexualabuse for seven more pages about abuse of our family, letters from family members and police statements, and no justice to this day. Mr. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, you said during the election you would put families as a priority on your Government Agenda, please help mine, in your letters to me you said you would. Visit our website and sign our guest book with your support.

  5. CPS is ignoring reports made by myself and my child of abuse at the hands of her father. He has temporary custody and CPs has done nothing to help her even after she has run away from him three times only to be returned to the home. She has been called a liar by police and CPS. She is now suicidal and I am helpless. Advice is all I am asking.

  10. I live in the state of michigan, and CPS, tried to put a case on me falsely! My ex- wife said that I was abusing my kids and blackmailed my kids into saying that I was abusive to them at school to a teacher. And for two weeks my kids were taken away from me illegally, because of those statements, my kids were taken away from me illegally. I had a court hearing on Tue.,June 5, 2007 and the judge awarded me sole legal custody of my two children! He could see through the lies and deceit of the mother. My attorney and I plan to file a complaint against the CPS of Michigan and even sue if possible. They need to be stopped in their reckless abandonment of falsely accussing parents. I was never scared of those CPS workers and if the mother does it again she will be in big trouble! I will keep praying for my kids and everyones else kids who are taken away illegally and unfair and unjust. FIGHT CPS.COM FOREVER!

  12. Our daughter Marlee had been to the doctor 10 times in her 1st 11 weeks of life for not gaining weight. At week 11 x-rays revealed 16 fractures (never a bruise, mark or fussiness). The abuse doctor said testing was not needed, we must have done this. That was 8 months ago. We need prayers to keep strong and for a blessing of money to keep fighting. Thank you, God bless

  15. even though i’m losing my faith in god at this point, please pray for me.
    i was torn away from my only family member, my mom, because of completely false charges…
    it’s been five months so far, and we haven’t even been to trial over it. Guilty Until Proven Innocent..

    please pray that when court comes, i will be immediatley allowed home again.

    i truly lost everything.. the happy, fun, careless life of a fourteen year old. straight a’s, gifted school, skipped a grade, and never needed a medication in my life. tons of friends..

    CPS pulls me out of my home, as of 5 months ago:

    straight e’s. just informed i’m being held back in my freshman year. deep depression/anxiety combination, that has caused of the 11 medications i’ve ever needed.
    me.. this happy girl… on a xanax combination. crying.. choking.. hopeless about life. five months.. and not a charge brought against us.

    SO WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS!? IF WE HAVEN’T BEEN TO COURT, WHY!!
    WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO A CHILD! WHY ME!! WHY THIS LONG!!

    they ruined my life.
    please pray.. please.

  17. Hello! I am a 28 year old woman with 4 children that have been stolen from me by allen county child “protection” services. My 3 year old was missing on August 28, 2006 for an hour. It was exposed later that a neighbor had taken her off the sidewalk and into her home for that time frame. I allowed CPS to search my house etc. trying to prove my fitness as a parent. They kept my child for 2 days while they “investigated” me and returned her to me. They refused to place her with relatives for that time period. Instead she was in foster care. They called a court hearing and at the time I was still thinkng that if I do everything they say to do it will prove me fit and they will leave me alone. So when the caseworker Afrika Stokes told me that I have to admit to the allegations in order to keep my kids that is what I did. She said if I didnt then all my children would be placed in foster care while they investgate the charges. I admitted to the fact that my daughter was missing that day and that there were structural damage to my house’s back porch that the landlord wouldnt fix. They declared my house unsafe and told me I had to move. I moved into a shelter that they told me to go to. I only had 30 days to get a new place. I worked full time and went to classes they had at the shelter on self sufficiency never missing a class. My children and apartment were always clean. When my 30 days was up I still needed 2 weeks for my new house to be ready but they were kicking me out that day. I told them I would be at my mom’s 3 bedroom house for that 2 weeks. I am sure I told them this because they wouldnt let me take my kids from the shelter without a place to go. At 7pm that night Afrika and a police officer came to my mom’s house and removed my kids from there saying I violated by not telling them where I am. They put my 8 and 10 year olds in a foster home and my 1 and 3 year olds in a different foster home even though there were 6 family members willing to keep them all. I got my house 2 weeks later and told them and they ouldnt come loo a the house right away. They finally looked at it and said it was ok but still wouldnt give me the kids until I went to the office hysterical telling them that they are “holding my children hostage”. I got he kids that day at 4pm after 3 weeks of them being in foster care and separated from me and each other. From there on I did 6 weeks of parenting classes, allowed SCAN in my home 3 times a week or 2 hours, let CPS in whenever they came, saw CASA periodically when they dropped by and worked ful time raising 4 kids. I did these things for 10 months. In Febuary I had been abused by my childrens father which left me unable to walk good for about 4 days due to damage to the muscles of my left leg. This incident is on police records. CPS did a home visit and this was the only time I didnt answer the door for them. For one I was in alot of pain and for two my house was not as clean as usual due to my injury. After knocking they left and came back with 3 police cars scaring my children to death. I didnt know why the police were there I hadn’t done anything wrong so we hid huddled together on the bed. Then the lights went out. The police had broken my basement door and cut the electricity because CPS told them they believed my kids were dead. This is the same excuse they used in court. They called an emergency hearing even though my kids were fine. They said they didnt want to risk not being able to get to the kids again and that I had “debris” on my floor and not enough food. I asked how much food I should have and they said the same amount I had on food stamps which was 540.00 worth. I am a LPN and do not qualify for assistance due to my income but my kids are well fed and taken care of. There have never been any reports saying I did anything wrong as far as the care of my kids. So at the hearing they took the kids this time finally placing them with my mother in law who wanted them from the beginning. Their father wanted them too but his rights were totally violated seeing as they NEVER considered giving them to him even though he has been at every court hearing, did parenting classes, met with SCAN and attended CPS meetings. So they gave me 4 hours a week supervised visitation for four weeks and ordered me to take a psychological exam which I had already done. On March 11 we went back to court where I was sure I was getting the kids because the psych exam was complete and I had completed the supervised visits with no problem. The judge still didnt give them to me saying the results were not back from the psych exam and he couldnt live with himself if he gave them to me and something happened. He then ordered 4 hour supervised visits on Friday and 12pm-8pm unsupervised visits on Saturday and Sunday. I did that for 3 weeks meanwhile slowly falling into a deep deppression but fighting hard to hide it from the world lest they used that against me. I began to realize that no matter what I did it would never be good enough. I felt suicidal at times thinking maybe I am all these things they say I am. A horrible mom etc. even though I know deep down I am a loving devoted mom. The last Friday before court the SCAN worker came and I wouldnt let him in. I told him my kids are being held for no reason and I am no longer cooperating because as long as I cooperate that is saying I agree with what is being done and I dont. I didnt know what else to do but I knew for my own health I had to stop being their puppet. I went to the April 11 hearing where the psychological exam said there is nothing wrong with me. Now they wouldnt give me the kids for not letting SCAN in that last time. They said I need to do 2 hour supervised visits every Friday this time at the SCAN office not at my house and I received no unsupervised visits. I told the judge that is ridiculous and I am not doing it and I will get a lawyer and get my kids back that way. My mother in law will not let me see or talk to the kids so I have fallen back farther into the depression. 3 weeks ago I peeled myself out of bed and realized I have to go somewhere to heal so I drove 1000 miles to my grandmothers house in Mississippi. I have found some semblence of peace here and I have a court date on August 27th so I have time to plan my strategy before I go back. I am now off of the depression medicine and focused on fighting these kidnappers. Please help me. Please point me in the right direction of where I go from here. I do want to be involved in the class action suit and want to support any organization that is for parental rights. My name is Shawna Leigh Dozier. Thank You from me and my beautiful children.

  18. Last Febuary, after a ten minute, isolated incident of low blood sugar, I was reported to DCFS for being intoxicated. There are other details I’ve already outlined previously.

    Here’s my informal opinion poll: Is is just me, or is anyone else out there reluctant to give CPS names of health professionals, school personnel, neighbors and acquaintances for fear that inquisition (questions) might breed accusations or suspicion where none existed before?

    If you found out your next door neighbor was being investigated by CPS, would you (before you knew what liars they are) allow your child to play over there? Wouldn’t you be just a little more watchful for anything at all that might suggest a problem?

    I didn’t sign consents for CPS to talk to anyone, but they proceeded to investigate me (after telling me they couldn’t re-check the source of the allegation because it was anonymous). Four months later, I get a 75 page file, bursting at the margins with slander and character assassination, detailing third and fourth hand accounts of how I am intoxicated on a daily basis. I’ve been clean and sober 27 years last week. Of course, none of four people CPS interviewed said I drank at all, but CPS heard it from someone I had never met, who heard from another agency who heard from yet another person I had never met at yet another agency that an employee who hasn’t worked there in more than a year “might” have said something about being concerned about how much prescription medication I take. By the time the caseworker writes his notes and the supervisor rewrites them, I’m unconscious or passed out every day due to alcohol, street drugs, prescription drug abuse and abuse of my son’s ADD medication. The information comes from a health care agency who is supposed to be providing home health care services. Wouldn’t you think if I were unconscious every day one of the trained health workers would have called 911?

    Comment by Karen — June 12, 2007 @ 9:36 am




  19. Karen, that’s another great example of the problem with CPS. In my page on What to do if CPS agents are investigating you, it says I recommend that you don’t give them any leads to information. In other words, my vote is that you did the right thing. They ask for references so they can get your friends, family, doctors, etc. to make incriminating statements against you. Why help them by telling them who you know? No matter what, they’re not looking for people to say anything good about you. In fact, everything good about you is generally ignored in these investigations, and everything else is twisted to sound like you’re the worst parent alive, then given to a judge.

  20. Prayer request - please pray for me to get my little daughter back

    Narrative re: Removal of Sabrina Slyter

    On April 3, 2005, Sabrina Slyter was born to Nancy Hey. She weighed 7 lb. 4 oz. Mother and baby were released from the hospital on April 5, 2005. On April 8, 2005, Ms. Hey took Sabrina to the pediatrician for a regular post-birth follow-up. The baby had lost weight (from 7lb. 4oz. to 6lb. 12oz.) so the pediatrician recommended supplementation with formula (Ms. Hey was nursing) and a follow-up visit several days later. Ms. Hey saw the pediatrician three more times after that initial visit. Although Sabrina’s weight only dropped to 6 lb. 10 oz., she did not exhibit a sustained weight gain. As a result, on that third visit, the doctor who saw Ms. Hey and Sabrina indicated that Sabrina’s weight loss and lack of sustained weight gain was more significant than Ms. Hey had been led to believe and he instructed Ms. Hey to admit Sabrina to the hospital.

    So, on April 16, 2005, Sabrina and Ms. Hey were admitted to Virginia Hospital Center. Sabrina was admitted with a failure to thrive diagnosis. After increasing the amount of formula used to supplement Ms. Hey’s breast feeding, Sabrina gained weight. On April 19, Ms. Hey was visited by a social worker from the Arlington County Child Protective Services. On April 20, Ms. Hey and her live-in companion, Kit Slitor, (not the biological father of the baby) were compelled to sign a “Safety Plan” presented to them by the Arlington County CPS social worker. They were informed a refusal to sign would prevent the baby from being discharged. The following day, Ms. Hey and Sabrina were released from the hospital. On the date of release, Sabrina weighed 7 lb. 5 oz.

    On April 22, the social worker and one or more home nurses visited the family. The social worker returned the next day, Saturday, April 23; however, Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor refused her entry, stating they wanted a “time out” while they retained legal counsel (a letter to that effect was handed to the social worker). Over the weekend they sought, and by Monday morning they retained, an attorney who immediately attempted to contact the social worker. (Another attorney who is a friend had attempted to contact the social worker over the weekend.) Notwithstanding the fact that counsel managed to speak to the social worker sometime late Monday morning, the social worker went forward with a request for an Emergency Removal Order which was granted. The Order was executed that day, April 25, and Sabrina was placed in foster care. At the time of removal, Sabrina weighed 8 lb. 1 oz., a 12 oz. gain from April 21 the day on which Sabrina was released from the hospital.

    On May 2, the Court made a finding of abuse and neglect and ordered psychological evaluations for both Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor. Those evaluations, which were performed by individuals hired by the County, occurred over the course of the next two weeks. Following those evaluations, a Foster Care Service Plan was developed by the County. The Plan’s stated goal was “return home” and it imposed several obligations on the parents, all of which they have complied with. On July 5, the Foster Care Service Plan was presented to the Court and accepted.

    Although visits were occurring between Sabrina and Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor, they did not occur on a set, regular schedule. The visits that did take place, took place at the County offices and were only approximately one hour in duration and usually no more than twice a week, although some weeks there was only one visit. By early September, for all intents and purposes, the visits had ceased, because Sabrina had exhibited increasing signs of distress. At a follow-up hearing on October 25, the Court ordered that a home visit occur. That visit occurred three days later, on October 28, after which both sides submitted to the Court memoranda summarizing the visit. On November 14, the Court issued a letter ordering that visits continue to occur in the parents’ home. One such additional visit occurred, on November 23, approximately a month after the previous in-home visit. Those two visits are the only visits Ms. Hey had been able to participate in since late August/early September. Mr. Slitor, whom the County wanted to evaluate as the potential primary caretaker since Ms. Hey had been ruled out by the County as such, did have several short visits on his own in October and one in December. (It should be noted that Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor got married in October.)

    At a follow-up hearing in late November, the Court ordered both sides to submit a plan for facilitating the goal of return home, which both sides did. In mid-December, the Court informed both sides that it had accepted the plan submitted on behalf of Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor, which contemplated regular, frequent visits with increasing duration accompanied by instruction from a qualified home-based services provider. The Court ordered that all visitation cease until the new reunification process could begin with the new service providers. The Court also ordered that Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor be financially responsible for the services to be provided.

    Starting in January, that plan was implemented and the reunification process got underway. Initially, the service providers familiarized themselves with Sabrina and Sabrina with them. They then slowly and carefully reintroduced the parents to Sabrina in an effort to properly restart the attachment process. The visits occurred on a set schedule (3 days a week) in the parents’ home and, as time went on, the duration of the visits steadily increased. During these visits, the parents received parenting instruction and once a week they participated in a parent-infant therapy session. The amount of instruction provided by the home-based workers decreased as time went on.

    This process continued until approximately June 15, by which time Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor were spending more than 20 hours a week with Sabrina and even had had two supervised overnight visits with Sabrina. Notably, throughout this process, Sabrina did not exhibit any of the distress she previously exhibited which had led the County to essentially terminate visits. However, on June 15, the Court accepted the County’s proposed change in goal, put forth in March, from “return home” to “adoption”. This occurred notwithstanding the Court’s acknowledgment that significant progress had been made in the reunification process and that the parents had maintained consistent contact with Sabrina.

    A hearing on the County’s petition for termination of parental rights was scheduled for September 20, 21, and 22. However, on September 20, the parties agreed to the entry of an involuntary termination order. They also agreed upon continued visitation, albeit on a truncated scale (Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor now see Sabrina only every other week for three hours which primarily is the result of the foster parents having moved to North Carolina), pending an appeal of both the change of goal and the termination to the Circuit Court for Arlington County. That appeal got underway in December 2006 and is scheduled to continue at least through April 24, 2007.

    In addition to the judicial action, the County issued, on June 20, 2005, an administrative finding against Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor of physical neglect and failure to thrive, assigning the highest possible level to its finding. As a result of this finding, Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor currently are subject to having their names appear on the Virginia Department of Social Services Child Abuse/Neglect Central Registry for a period of 18 years.

    Upon a request for an appeal, a local conference was held on November 30, 2005. The presiding official was the Deputy Director of Social Services for Arlington County. On December 6, 2005, the Deputy Director issued her decision which was to uphold the initial finding. Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor appealed this decision and, on June 21, 2006, that appeal was heard by a hearing officer designated by the Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Social Services. On September 1, 2006, the hearing officer issued his decision.

    In short, the hearing officer determined that the Agency (i.e., the County) failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence its contention that Sabrina met the criteria for a finding of physical neglect-failure to thrive and, accordingly, reversed the decision. As a result, Ms. Hey and Mr. Slitor are no longer subject to appearing on the Child Abuse/Neglect Central Registry.

    Despite having been exonerated in the administrative proceeding, the judicial action continues unresolved. On June 1st, 2007, Judge James Almand of the Fourth Circuit Court of Arlington County ruled to uphold the lower court’s ruling to terminate the parental rights of Nancy Hey, and to deny the petitions for custody filed by Sabrina’s stepfather Kit Slitor and maternal grandmother Louise Hey.

  21. Please pray for me & my 3 adopted children. CPS removed my children from my home last Thursday evening after receiving a stolen journal that I used to vent my frustrations with recently being made a single mother. They are now trying to find me un-fit. I am scared to death that I am going to lose my kids. Please pray for us.

  22. I Have A Son In California Illegally With His Dad And He Is Miserable There. I’ve Told Him To Pray About It That He Could Come Home To Us & Be With Us Soon Safe, Sound & Happy. This Little Boy Was Ripped From Us & Taken To Another State & Now Its Going To Take A Perfect Lawyer To Get Him Back. I Also Have A Son Who Has Been Adopted After I Was Forced To Do A Voluntary (Which I Was FORCED To Do By MY LAWYER, Not Willing To Do By Me). This Case Has Reaked Of Fowl Play From The Beginning As DCFS & CPS Often Are. Now Because I Did The Voluntary Relinquishment Of Rights, By Law Appeals Of This Sort Are 99.9999% Impossible To Win But I Promised My Kids I Would Someday. I Don’t Make Promises To Them I Don’t Keep. Now Is The Time. Me And My Sons Are Devastated To Be Torn So Far Apart. We Don’t Know Where The Adopted Kid Is, And The California Kid Is So Far Away. I Just Want All 4 Of My Kids With Me. Its Just Not Right For Families To Be Torn Apart. I’m Angry, I’m Hurt, I’m Beside Myself And I Can’t Take Hearing From My Son In California Him Begging Me To Get Him Back Without Doing Something. It Breaks Me Up Inside. I Can’t Wait Til Our Nightmare Is Over. I Once Thought I Had To Wait Until I Had The Money In My Hand To Start. Now I Know I Was Wrong, I Didn’t Need The Money As Badly As I Needed The Faith In God. Now I Have A Newfound Faith That I Know Can Move These Mountains Between Us. We Just Need Your Prayers & Faith. Pray For Shelden (In California),Carter (In Utah), And My 2 Kids Here At Home With Me - Nicholas & Lili That We Will All Be Together As A Family And No One Can Tear Us Apart. I Believe In Miracles And That You Can Beat The Odds (Which They Claim Are Stacked Against Me) As Long As You Have The Faith That You Can & Do As Much As You Can To Beat The Odds. I Have To. I Love My Kids Too Much To Fail Them Again. Please Pray For Them And All Kids Who Just Want Their Families Back Who Have Been Taken By The CPS / DCFS Jerks.

  26. Please Pray For Shelden To Come Home Soon

    Another Sad Cry Out From Shelden - I’m Working On It Baby, I LOVE YOU! His Dad & Step Mom Must Think They Have Done Nothing Wrong To Have Taken Shelden. But The Further I Get Into Researching & Working To Bring Him Home The More Convinced I Am That I Was Right. And I Gotta Do Something, More Frequently Shelden Cries Out To Me How Much He Wants To Come Home To Us. Its Horrifying As Hell. During His Calls He Goes Elsewhere From His Dad & Stepmom To Cry It Out On The Phone With Me. My Husband Who Knows I’ve Been Working On Doing Something About This Stumbled Across A Success Story Which Was Much Like What Is Going On Now - Custodial Parent Takes Kid Across State Lines Without Consent From Non Custodial Parents And Later Found Out He Could Have Stopped It And Gotten The Kid Back Home To Him. It Took Him About A YEar ANd A Half (Good God, For Shelden’s Sake I Hope It Doesn’t Take Me That Long) But The Mother Didn’t Show Up For Court In Utah And Now Sits Incarcerated For Kidnapping. Dad Has Custody Now. COme To Find Out That The Kid Was Neglected & THe Step Dad Has Been Smuggling Immigrants In From Mexico For Money. But The Boy Is With His Dad Who Is Happy Now.I’m Just A Wreck Over Shelden & Carter. Especially Since I’ve Been Involved In The FIGHTCPS.COM Forums And Have Read All The Nightmares There. But At Least This Serious Epidemic Is Out In THe Open & People Are Taking Action. I’m Going To Bring My Sons Home. Shelden Is Going To Be An Easier Case To Tackle. Carter’s Case Is Going To Cost Me Close To A Million Bucks Because Its Almost An Unappealable Case And I Will Take It To The Supreme Court If I Have To.It Just Hurts So Bad To Wait. I Miss Them. Its Hard To Only Keep Telling SHelden To Say Prayers To Come Home & Not Tell Him. My Husband Made An Interesting Point “Honey You Can’t Even Tell Shelden Even Secretly. He Could Very Easily Tell His Dad This In THe Heat Of His Anger And Then His Dad Will Know And That Will Give Him An Advantage”. And I Really Don’t Think His Dad Will Ever Have A Way To Find These Words. At The Same Time I’ve Asked Shelden If He Has Told His Dad How He Felt And Shelden Said “Heck No, My Dad Would Kill Me”. Poor Kid Gets Yelled At For Everything. He’s My Boy. He Belongs Home With Us. At Least We’d Take Him To Church. We Take Nicholas & Lili And Raise Them LDS. We Just Believe That Its A Part Of Family Structure & Giving Our Kids A Good Chance In Life & Mostly Just Loving Them Unconditionally. Shelden Has None Of That There And Is Rebelling Bad Because He Hates It. I Love You Shelden And I Am Doing What I Need To In ORder To Bring You Home. We LOve You, We Want You & Miss You. Its Time You Get To Come Home TO Your Family In UTah Who Loves You More. Carter I Will Do What I Gotta Do For You Baby Boy. You Will Just Love Your New Baby Sister. Carter She Looks Just Like You! So You Know Lili Is Cute! I Love All Of You Children. Mom Will Always Do Anything For You Because - Nicholas Shelden Carter & Lili, I Love You!

  27. Today, June 18, 2007, Magistrate John L. Livingston denied my request for grandparent visitation- based on the testimony of Rosina Hunter, “social worker”? and Lauren Kelley “Guardian at litem?” This judge is a loser and works only with losers like Lauren and Rosina so that it seems like he is a winner. You can count on not winning in his courtroom, when he uses his same little (actually they are both quite big physically) troupe of players! I do not know what he gets out of their bad testimonies and ever the same ignorant comments, when they are not capable of doing their jobs, but count on underlings to do it for them and then use the information that their underlings, aka aides give them to distort the truth. Anyone who has the ” ” to work for CPS and to live day to day with the lieing and distortion that goes on constantly deserves the same, only 7 times over as Jesus prescribed. These sort of people cannot deal with love issues… the best interest of the child involves money!!! MONEY!!! How they do it I will never know, but I feel sure that that is their main concern and revolves only around them, not the needs of a little child!!! I had once asked for prayer for this judge, but now I only ask that you Pray for my 6 year-old grandson. He is the only one who lost out today. Livingston- he”ll get paid– Hunter she’ll get paid. Kelley– she’ll get paid - Rick Toray attorney, He’ll get paid. It is all about money and power. I am very sad tonight- Like a death in the family. Please, please pray!

  29. I have two children, Mecca (13), and Jeremy (12) who have been abducted by the cps and court system in Beauford, South Carolina. My rights were terminated because of the 15 month thing. I had never been in SC. They were living with their father and taken away from their father. They never even looked for me as far as checking the child support data base or welfare data base. I feel as though I have been raped. I jumped though hoops for them and they still dogged us out. Please pray that the door of opportunity opens and allows us to walk through. And if there is anybody out there who may be able to help me or give me advise please do so. My email address is fmcdaniel2001@yahoo.com. We need help, please send out prayers. There was no court order, I sent them because he wanted to take care of them and they wanted to go and besides, he was their father and a good one at that. It’s just that Beaufort is a small mayberry where everyone knows everyone else and grew up with everyone and you can hold a grudge against somebody forever and if you end up being a social worker or judge, then you can mess up they’re world. It’s not fair but it’s real.

    I am currently working with an organization in Sacramento to assist parents who are being abused by the CPS system. I am looking for all parents, friends, or family members who are interested in setting up a town meeting in the Sacramento area. If we get enough individuals it is possible we may be able to expand to help others in different areas.

    We as parents need to fight for our Parental Rights to raise our children without intervention. We need to be educated of our rights as Parents. Please contact me if you are interested. I need as many signatures as possible to make this happen.

    Thank you and please pass the word on!

  35. After reading the post above I feel selfish asking for a prayer request however, I am so scared and alone here that I am going to do it anyway. CPS does not have my children in fact I am only under investigation. The charges are that I allowed my little girls aged 8,6, and 3 to play in a mud hole after a flood (I did) and that I allowed my 17 year old daughter and her friends to drink at my house (I didn’t). The man that is investigating me is making my life a living hell. I said I did not want him talking to my children as their father is in prison for molesting my two older girls and none of my children trust men. He refused to allow me to see his supervisor and he told me I could either cooperate or he would take me to court. I cannot allow him to take me to court cause if he does I will lose my job. There is no proof whatsoever that I allowed minors to drink in my home. I am a program manager for a non profit organization and I head a coalition whose main purpose is to deter underage drinking it makes no sense that I would make that my life’s work and then allow it in my private life. Now this CPS worker is demanding that both me, my 17 year old and my 13 year old take drug test. Don’t know why there was no allegations of drug use. Again I am a chemical dependency counselor so it makes no sense. I live in TX my lawyer says I have no rights here that I can not stop this man. I don’t know what to do or how to do it. I know that prayers will help so I ask anyone who reads this to please pray for me and my five daughters.

  36. Please pray that my husband can get his rights back for my son who will be 2 in December. My son was found with multiple broken bones in multiple stages of healing. I know he didn’t hurt my son because I was with him every single day and have videos and pictures of my son on a daily basis since the moment (and before) he was born. He was always smiling and happy. I really think he had something wrong with him. He didn’t move while I was pregnant and was really small. Please pray that my family can get back together. My three children had to go through months of abuse in foster care and the social worker saw it including my youngest having multiple staph infections on his genitals from not being clean, and RSV (now asthma) from the foster parents smoking around them. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY!!!!

  38. My girls were stolen from me april 20 2007 last year i went though post-partum spycosis and later found out i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I was take off two major meds and my anxiety came back I wasn’t aware of what was going on with me. I broke down and had a few drinks, which I haven’t done in a while because of medication. And I took some pills. I have alot of guilt and regrets but I am back on track again I take my diagnoses more seriously and I am no longer in denial.CPS worker Lori Miller lies about me said I had a crack cocaine problem even though I was court ordered to take random drug test and breathalizers which I have past all of there test.Then she tried to accuse me of abusing my perscription meds.I have such the sweetest girls they are very respectful and they don’t deserve this at all.For every child CPS takes away from there home they recieve a big bonus,it’s all about money. They also target low income and single parents,if you go to your social worker and ask for help paying for your utilities you are automatically put on a child neglect list,this came from a lawyer from Dearborn MI. named Janet M.Fredrick. My next court date is aug.8 2007 please pray for me. CPS says there are there to help you but they are lying to everyone. sincerely.

  39. I know what its like to have your kids ripped from your arms and placed in foster care. Please remember that no matter how bad it gets God never gives you more than you can handle. I some times feel like there is no hope and then I see my girl and realize that no matter what I will fight till the last breath is in my body. God is good and is all ways thier by your side even though you feel all alone. remember the footprints in the sand poem. He always has you close to his chest and He protects you no matter what. my prayers are all with each and every one who is and may have to fight chps. we go thru hell while dealing with chps but God is there if only you reach out in prayer. keep strong and keep the faith

  42. A few months ago, I was living with my “best friend” of 12 years. I have 3 boys (twins age 5 and the youngest is 3) He has a son as well and he was here every other week. In a dispute over who was going to stay or leave when the lease was up, he called CPS on me. I didn’t know that I didn’t have to let them in my house, I also didn’t know that I could record the conversations, and I didn’t know that my children did NOT have to talk to her alone. I went along with her because I had nothing to hide. The case thankfully was never opened.
    Needless to say, that person and I are no longer friends.

    The other day I had a fight with a friend who is a complete drama queen, and a liar by nature. I had been trying to cut the friendship off for over a year, but my big heart would take her back in every time she had a crisis. Well…I was done with her…I was tired of her one sided relationship with me and I wanted out. This ended up in a huge fight and she called the police and told them that I didn’t have food in my house, that I beat my children and all of this other stuff. Well I was at work, my husband let the police officer in, and of course he saw our pantry and fridge, and promptly left the house. He came to my work to talk to me, I explained to him that she was retaliating for me telling her off, and that her accusations were completely false, we had just spent 500 dollars on groceries the week before. My children are very loved and well adjusted, and she herself had made comments on SEVERAL occasions as to what a great mother I was and how she wished she could be HALF the mother I was some day. The police officer saw no reason to investigate further, and HOPEFULLY that was that.

    This of course means that CPS will probably be in my life again, and I THANK GOD for finding this website! Please pray for me, for strength to stand up to these people. I grew up in foster care, I know what kind of people they are. I know that 90% of social workers don’t have children of their own and have NO idea what being a parent is really like. You can read ALL the books in the world…but you NEVER know what being a parent is about until you become one yourself.

    I am praying that the officer will back me up, thankfully I am known in the area in which I live as a very well adjusted upstanding citizen, and I have a lot of friends in law enforcement.

    Thank you for listening to my rant, it’s nice to be able to talk to and hear from people in the same or similar situations as my own. Good luck to all of you!

  43. On June 3, 2005 my son called me to inform me he needed a ride to my 2 granddaughter’s school, to be picked up. The reason his girlfriend had just given birth to a little boy, and was taken into custody by CPS in Woodland CA (Yolo County).
    No one knew she was pregnant, she hided very well. She was planning on giving the child up for adoption. She also tested positive for meth. The baby is ok, thank God.
    Well by the time we went to the school a social worker,and a police officer were there. We were not allowed to take the children.
    Since that day it has been a nightmare….I quickly asked for custody of the children, I was denied.
    The children were placed in foster care. To this day the parents have lost their parents rights. As for me I still was denied custody, 2 reasons.
    1. That I live too far. I live 90 miles from Woodland, CA …I live in the Bay Area.
    2. The mother requested that she wanted the children to remain in the same school they were attending. (Foster mother placed them in a different school).
    Neither are to my knowledge good excuses. Are they?
    I called the social worker constantly, and left many unanswered phone calls.I wanted to keep my interest in the children’s welfare up to date, so that I can hopefully gain custody.
    I lost…
    now the children are going to be adopted by the foster parents.
    This is injustice. Knowing my interest and love for my grandchildren.
    I have been active participant since their birth. I can’t find a lawyer that works with CPS. I lack funds.
    But that should not be an excuse for adoption. Children’s ages are 2 yrs, 10 yrs, 11 yrs.
    I am going out of my mind, I don’t want to lose my family.
    It’s not right!

  48. Please pray for me…I go to court on Nov.8,2007…My son has been in custody of DSS for 20months now….everytime things are going well they keep coming up with excuses to terminate my overnight visitation. Our plan is for reunification..has been for the last 6 months….My son was not on any medication or anything prior to going into custody of DSS…Now 20 months , and tons of different drugs later is diagnosed with ADHD,ODD, and is on 72mg of concerta,extra 20mg methanthetaline in the afternoon, and 5 mg of abilify…..what are these people thinking putting these kids on so much medication…why can’t DSS understand these kids get depressed because they can’t see their parents.I am a single mother trying my best..I don’t drink, or smoke…all i do is work to take care of myself & my kids.
    From day one they have done things illegally here in N.Carolina. I’m in New Hanover co.-Wilmington,NC..I never really realized before how bad a justice system we have til this happened to me & my kids.
    According to NC DSS any woman who has a prior history of an abusive relationship…when they get their front door kicked in by an ex-boyfriend strung out on drugs at 4am & is assaulted..DSS has rights to take your kids for neglecting to keep them out of a potentially violent situation, this is what i was told by my current social worker….we have been subjected to their mental evaluations,counseling appointments, PPAT Meetings,Treatment Team Meetings….all their BullShit I’m tired of….I just want my son home & get back to our lives….it seems sometimes like that day will never come….
    How can they have overnight visitation with a child one weekend & take it away the very next week-end and expect the kids not to react or act out because of it…
    I just found out about all these resources this past month please advise if anyone knows how, or what i can do…you may contact me though my email DJPowell68@hotmail.com
    Thanks & Please pray for me….

  52. Hello. My name is Jessica Mahoney. I am writing this letter because I need a Christmas miracle. Five months ago I received a call from my daughters school nurse Nancy Kelly saying my daughter had a fever of 104 degrees.
    To witch I replied well what hospital did you call? Is the ambulance on the way? The school nurse told me they didn’t need to call an ambulance. She said I just needed to bring her home. I lost my temper and said of course you need to call an ambulance! What kind of school nurse are you? I said I would be up to the school in ten minutes because my car was broken and I had to walk. I hung up and immediately called 911 and told them my daughter was at Birch lake elementary with a fever of 104.
    By the time I got to the school Sergeant Julie Swanson confronts me and says that somebody called the cops on me and their taking my child out of my custody because they don’t think she’s going the care she needs under my supervision. I told her I was the one to call the police because the nurse didn’t think a fever of 104 wasn’t that serious, and I don’t think she’s going to get the care she needs if she’s in their custody! They still are trying to tell me that she didn’t need to go to the hospital until we all hear the paramedic yell the fever has spiked to 106 and they had to get to her to the hospital right away. I tried to get into the ambulance but the officer restrained me and told me if they saw me at the hospital they would charge me with trespassing.
    My daughter’s life has been a living nightmare ever since that unbelievable day. She is getting so depressed she’s become obese, she can’t concentrate in school, she’s lashing out on other classmates her grads are slipping because nobody will help her do her homework. The foster parents seem like very selfish people. I and her father bought her a brand new bike for her birthday in August and the only time she got to ride it was in the parking lot after she opened it. We bought her a guitar and the only time she got to play with that is at the visit because the foster mom doesn’t like all the noise. They took the guitar away from her. She gets scolded all the time for waking the foster mother’s newborn. One time she even got grounded for shutting a gate to loud. None of the new friends she are allowed to come over and play. So I have asked that she be placed with my brother or my aunt and they approved them as adequate caretakers but the courts said it would be worse for her to have to change schools. I have done everything child protection has asked me to do and more, but today my social worker Kristen Bauerkemper informed me her recommendation was going to be that Darleen remained in the foster home. She will not be returned home for Christmas. Every day she is without us is a horrible day. She told me and the school nurse she cries herself to sleep. No child should EVER cry themselves to sleep!!!! Especially when I have done nothing to have her taken in the first place. I have never done anything to prove I’m an unfit mother, I have no criminal history, and I am such an unfit mother. Why do I still have custody of my four year old son? When I said this to the social worker she then set up a court date in February to try to get custody of my son Tristen. My lawyer Bob Lawton couldn’t believe it! He immediately confronted the guardian ad litem sarah Bashiri outside the courtroom and kept asking for what reason? Why? She couldn’t even give him a reason. That court date is in February and he said laughing I think their just messing with you at this point. So at this point I have decided to get off of the defense and on the offence. Its time they started answering some questions. I’m starting a war with my pen as my sward and every American that will not accept a child being used as a pawn in an egotistical power trip as my soldiers. Let’s bring Darleen home for Christmas. Please feel free to call me at 507-413-0288 or email me at jonjessbradley@yahoo.com
    God Bless
    Jessica Mahoney

  58. I live in Tucson, AZ. I have 4 children and have been thru hell and back in the last 4 years. CPS took my children from me back in Feburary of 2003. Since that time I have thru rehab and completely changed my life around. My life is now 100% commitited to regaining custody of my babies. After a long court battle with CPS I lost custody of my kids to there fathers who have been caring for them since. I have rights to all my children now all accept one. My 5 year old baby who her Dad feels I should have no rights to. He is trying to terminate my rights as her mother and have his new wife adopt my baby. He has hired good attorneys cause he has the money to do so and I am stuck with a court appointed attorney who feels my baby is better off with them since they have more money. I have my first court hearing tommorow regarding terminating my rights and the only thing that scares me to death is money is the root to all evil and I hope the outcome of the abilitiy to be a Mother to my own baby doesnt come down to the fact that her Father has more money than her Mommy. Please pray that my family be reunited after all these years please help me pray my court hearing is tommorow Januaury 4, 2008 @ 9am. For any1 with any advice please email me
    lbm.darkangel@yahoo.com
    Thank You and God Bless keep me and my babies in your prayers and I will keep all you in mine Thanks.

  67. To all
    I can sympathize with you all i have a terrible situation as well, the same thing dcf lied. The thing is that you don’t have issues really. Many issues of depression or mental illness comes from their accusations. They say some of the most terrible things.Well i won’t go into it. I will just say in all i will give god the glory. I will praise him and worship him. Prayer is what it is going to take to make things right . Peace in christ jesus is the only thing that can see us through. I will be praying for us all.

  69. I am the Aunt of 4 sisters who were taken by DCS in Calif in Dec ‘04 when the baby was 3 days old. My sister in law never got the kids back, after 2 years her rights were terminated, also the fathers. The 3 younger girls were placed in a foster home of a different race from day 1. The oldest sister (then 13 yrs old) was separated from her sisters and put in mental health facilities because she wanted her and her sisters to come live with us, she was put on drugs and given a straight jacket and then went to many foster homes and group homes. She ran away alot, but was never placed with her sisters. The judge said she had to stay in long term foster care until she was 18 because my husband and I weren’t “a party to the proceedings” and couldn’t adopt any of the kids to keep them in the family, even though we became licensed foster parents just so we could take the kids in and adopt them. We wanted to take all of the kids from the start, but were told we couldn’t because the foster parents that the 3 youngest were with were going to adopt the 3 youngest, instead of us. Calif said family doesn’t matter and neither does the girls race being different than the foster parents they are with. We have only talked to the oldest girl that is with her 2 sisters a total of 2 times since 2004 and the last time was in 2005. The oldest girl in the group homes and stuff is now 16 and she was so upset with the system that in 2006 she went AWOL and got a bus ticket and rode 2000 miles to our house in another state to stay with us because the social workers told her she better say goodbye to her family because she was never going to see them again and would stay in California. Calif wanted her back, but she refused to go, now everthing is fine with Calif and they say she is doing good with us as her foster family, but they still don’t want her sisters with us and they adopted them out to the foster parents in California last year and now they are moving to Las Vegas. Our niece has called her sisters house, but the foster/adopt mother refuses to let her talk to her until the girl she has turns 18 in 6 years. My husband appealed the judges decision to adopt the girls to the foster people after I found proof that the foster people had a prior history of violence and abuse that they concealed when they became foster parents. The foster care place said they were not eligible to be foster parents with their vioent history, but the judge said it didn’t matter because “they haven’t done anything lately”. Then he adopted them out to these monsters. The case is going to a higher court out of the county and we were appointed a lawyer. Please pray the decision is reversed and the girls come to live with us and their older sister so nothing more happens to them. Their mother lives by us now too and wants us to have her daughters. God is good. If God is with us, who can be against us?

  72. My 1st comment will be simple. C.P.S. is sick. I can go on, with the insults. They don’t have the best interests of children at heart. They treat biological families like they never deserved to have the child/children in there lives. They would rather overload the system with kids whom should never have been taken from their homes. For what money? They are no better than complete strangers whom kidnap a child off the street and sell them. That’s exactly what they do, and we complain how animals are treated? What about what God said? To protect our children… In my next comment I will have found the scripture. I’m asking everyone to pray that our 2 daughters ages 9 and 6yrs, and our son 16months are not removed from our home on account of something my ex-husband has done. I also hope everyone prays he’s not still doing horrible things to our 2 daughters. I fear that he is, but I received a threatening phone call from C.P.S. that I was making false accusations about him. Why would I want to have C.P.S. in my life? But I felt as if I had no where else to go. I wish I would have read these pages before calling… Please pray for our family.

  75. My grandchildren were taken and CPS has my son and daughter in law so scared that they will not fight but are agreeing to do whatever they are told to do. I have seen families lied to and devastated and by co operating only helped CPS build cases against themselves. I am terrified for them and so helpless. Please pray for my children and grandchildren. Also, I am a complete novice at trying to make legal change, but will pray for anyone who comesto my page listed above. Thank you. Lori Henke

  79. Below is a copy of a comment I’ve posted on Lisa’s page. If you’re a Christian, then please pray over this situation.

    Hi. I’m mixed up in a situation right now because of a counseling session gone wrong. My husband and I are stuck living with my mom because of our financial situation. He is also from a culture in which many couples live with extended family. I’ve had a lot of traumatic times with my mom, who has been abusive toward me in many ways including emotionally. I decided that we would get counseling to try to work things out, etc. Anyway, in the first session we attended together, the counselor asked a question of my mom that made me nervous; her response also made me nervous. However, I thought that nothing would come of it. This week we received calls from CPS. Unfortunately they talked to my mom first and she gave additional information, which probably has us in deeper now. I found out that this was because of my mom’s comments, which were misconstrued, as was something else. This counseling center is a Christian one, and I’m tired of seeing Christians manipulated based on our values of brotherly kindness, justice, and obedience. I had to find out for myself who had called because they were keeping it secret. (Is this a violation of Constitutional rights or does it have to be a court situation.) When I confronted her, she claimed that she was required by law to do this. The comments, etc., even when taken out of contact, gave no reason to believe that the little ones’ lives were in danger or that they were in danger of being sent to the ER. Since this was a Christian organization it should also have “separation of church and state rights.” We need to stand up for our rights as Christians, organizations of faith, and families. It’s time to show that we are not vulnerable and will not be manipulated. If you’re a Christian please pray for us. If you have tips, then please post them. Tell me if you want me to clarify anything I said.

  83. My kids were taken from me on May 12 and its been absolute HELL for the past almost 2 weeks. I DON’T DO DRUGS, I DON’T DRINK AND I DON’T ABUSE MY CHILDREN but because my boyfriend likes to smoke wacky they take my kids? He doesn’t do it around them and I’ve come up clean every drug test.. My 4 year old is absolutely miserable in a foster home and keeps demanding I take her with me but I can’t and it makes me feel awful because I’d love to. My 18 month old doesn’t even seem to recognize me anymore. Please pray I get them back soon. I miss them so much and 1 hour a week visit DOESN’T help. ESPECIALLY because I’m pregnant again.
    To everyone else you’ll be in my prayers. I’m truly sorry to any one going through this crap

  86. I am hurt, angry and looking for more answers after finding out that children in an orphanage called Jr. Village in Washington DC were used as human guinea pigs for more than one experiment. I am 48 years old and have always suspected some things happened at the orphanage that shouldn’t have. Now I am pretty sure after reading some entries of the American Journal of Epidemiology and am wondering if my past and current health wasn’t affected by the studies done on the children at the facility and Children’s hospital in the District of Columbia. I have only been in brief contact with one (1) other individual who remembers being there. I’ve had no further contact since mentioning the studies done on us. I vaguely remember the TIGER LINE in which children were lined up to receive some sort of medications. I remember my sister who was two (I was four) being seperated from me and placed in large metal cribs with at least three other children and me being smacked down and hit with a brush for protesting our seperation and the fact that she could walk and didn’t need to be locked in a crib. I also remember our long, thick, beautiful hair being shaved off when we first arrived because of a supposed ringworm outbreak. The situation that lead my sister and I to the orphanage and a lifetime of foster care was the fact that my mother left us with her aunt for the weekend and showed up on Monday instead of Sunday and the aunt on her death bed saying she put us in the system because she didn’t really like girl children. One of her eighteen siblings got pregnant and their father put all the girls of child bearing age out of his house, never to return. Though our mother fought for our return there was no goal for reunification in those days and in fact I feel like they did not return us because we were indeed a number used by the city to get federal dollars, we were useful for medical experiments and more federal dollars and so on. My mother who was a nurse at Freedmans hospital became despondent after losing us to the system, began to drink heavily leading to her being parapelegic and more alcoholic. And on top of this I recently met family who have fostered/adopted over 21 chidlren and although they lived out of town family should always be explored first. So I standing in the need of prayer for my mental and physical health and an attorney for my family’s financial health. You see I had a loving family, some with resources and some without but a loving family just the same. To be taken away from that, told that your mom didn’t want you, used a lab rat, shuffled from place to place ( 5 foster homes, 5 group homes) and left with nothing in the end is my cause for concern and my need for some sort of reparation. At the end of the day (I am currently employed in the city’s foster care agency) I still feel hurt and abandonment by the system and I still hurt everyday that I walk through the lobby of the agency and see children being brought in and birth families leaving the crying, scared and loss children wanting to return home with them (even when some sort of neglect or abuse has occured). So my suffering continues and my need for closure. Closure won’t come until I am made privy to records, data or explainations but when no one cares to remember or recall and when no one owns up to the facts my suffering continues. If there is anyone who understands this and has an attorney I would like some assistance with these issue.

  88. For the better part of a year I have tired to gain custody of my great nephew, Bruce. I thought that I had won when a court order was issued giving me, the biological Aunt, the right to take him back to Idaho. The foster Family Ken and Margret Jones filed a grievance with Department of Social Service to stop his movement. According to Malaika Mukuyoma (California Case worker), she had no idea what to do or how to proceed. Instead of following through with the court order issued December 13,2007 by Commissioner McCarthy , Malaika chose to ignore it and see what the office of DCS decided to do. .
    Since when did foster parents gain more rights than birth families, and since when did DCS have right to play with families hearts and souls as if they have no cares in the world.
    Since when did DCS become a place for childless couples to gain free adoption of our children that have a loving biological family willing able and ready to raise them.
    This week a judge in Santa Clara County gave perfect strangers custody of an infant when there were blood relatives, approved by both states, that were willing to take him in and provide him with an extended, and happy family of people to whom he was related. The State of California has stolen a member of my family; going against the wishes of his parents. Please help me bring him home, I don’t know where else to turn. The legal system has failed me, and I have spent my life savings fighting for him.

Please pray for my daughter and her two beautiful daughters.She got into some trouble last year and she went to live with her Dad and StepMother.She got into some more trouble and her dad got joint custody with my daughter and her dad and step mother.Now the Social worker wants her to take a hair folicle test.I have heard that they can go back seven years on this.I do not know her rights in South Carolina.I am in Alabama.So Please pray that the Lord will prevail in this situation.He talked her into coming up there now I do not get to see my grandaughters much at all.I seen them for the first time in six months.It kills me.I have to leave them with the Lord.I cannot afford to go up there because I take care of my mother which is a stroke victom.I am very blessed to do this.We live on what she draws each month.I love to be able to do this,but I miss my grandaughters very much.Please just keep us in your prayers and if any ones knows anything more about this mess please leave comment.Thank-you and God bless each of you.

  93. My 17 year old son assualted me and then told CPS he was abused. The father took pictures of scratches on his face and neck but can not prove they were done by mom. Brother pulled 17 year old off mom. CPS came to my home and spoke to my minor children without my permission. The CPS report was taken to Judge Carpenter and the children were turned over to their father. He has a domestic violence, three sexual misconducts (3 children) admitted under oath in 2002 at trial. Two Substantated Child abuses on our two boys. Violently handled our daughter during one of parenting times. Threaten to lock her in a dark room if she didn’t stop crying. Taped 7 phone conversations with myself and our daughter without our knowledge. He has never been charged. My 11 year old daughter wants to come home. Trial is Sept 8, 2008 Grand Rapids Michigan.
