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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

A three-year-old girl in Oregon is suffering from permanent brain damage inflicted by her foster parent, a man who became frustrated with her crying when she was only three months old. He punched her and cracked her skull, and she’ll never recover. In May 2007 a federal lawsuit awarded her $960,000 which will be paid by the taxpayers of Oregon.
Source: Caseworkers intended to help the baby, but they waited too long
The state child welfare agency struggles to protect kids, even as it settles the case of an infant whose foster father left her with permanent brain damage by Brent Walth for The Oregonian, published July 3, 2007.
…
A Fight CPS reader requests letters:
It is my hope that your readers will express their outrage, regardless of where they live, and write a letter to the editor of the Oregonian…. They request a letter of no more than 150 words, and the writer’s name, address, and phone number need to be included. (Should they need to edit, verify writer, etc.)
Thank you,
Lucy Brackett
From the article by Brent Walth:
“The baby girl lived in a house littered with dirty diapers and slept on sheets soaked in her own urine. Her older brothers — both toddlers — showed signs that they often went hungry. The adults in charge struggled to make ends meet and care for the three children. The children might have been candidates for state foster care. Except this was a foster home, and caseworkers wanted to get the neglected children out of the house.”
The foster parents were practically children themselves!
“N.E. was born in September 2003 to a mother who tested positive for methamphetamine use. State officials quickly took the baby into custody and placed her with foster parents, Melissa Kavanaugh and Terence Chi Hui. Kavanaugh and Hui — then 21 and 23 — had no experience as parents, but the state had recently certified them as foster parents after they completed required training.”
Terence Chi Hui, who was working as a computer network consultant with AT&T Wireless, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted assault and was sentenced to 72 months in prison.

These 2 young people ( not committed to each other) had NEVER parented a baby.
Why isn’t CPS placing these helpless infants with FAMILY?
By not even looking into family fostering, I believe a case can be made for the prosection of DSS in Oregon.
Sounds like a fact pattern that an independent attorney could litigate v DHS.
Perhaps could be precedential.

That is absolutely horrible. I being an ex-Oregonian have seen CPS at work there. I knew loving foster parents that have had all their children ripped away because someone or a troubled teen that lives with a foster family for a short time goes and tells a lie… and then I read stories like this of degenerates being approved as foster parents no problem, and end up abusing innocent children and it just makes me more angry.
I am so outraged. I will say I am not surprised this has happened in the good old communist state of Oregon. I think they are the leaders in dividing families in this country, it fits their agenda.
I have never seen more kids ripped out of loving homes in anywhere else I have lived than in Oregon, where I was raised…
I hope this goes through further legal action because it is injustice if those poor children are not fought for…

I am OUTRAGED. CPS is supposed to be protecting these children. Some of the homes they put them in are worse than the ones that they came from. They don’t want to take the time to check out these foster parents and the children are getting abused. We need to find a better way to protect our kids.

I am not surprised with the actions of CPS. It is an exact example of what occured with this circumstance as to how they deal with abused children in other settings. CPS needs to be held liable and responsible for the neglect and poor judgement calls that they decide upon. Some agency above CPS periodically needs to review and look into the cases that CPS has undertaken, and intervene, if neccessary.
During my own severe childhood abuse, CPS did nothing to alleviate my situation, and actually aggravated it further. They sat me down right next to my step-faher and asked me if I was being abused! What child, scared and intimidated, would admit this to this agency, knowing that the parent whom caused this ill would further take action at a later time? I ended up with skull fractures from head trauma, my skull still bleeding for 2 days after this event.
My son was also not protected by CPS. My ex husband had a girlfriend with a violent temper. Pamela, in a rage, threw my son, whom was around 9, on the ground and beat his head on the floor. I had my son checked by a doctor, called the police and contacted CPS. They gave me a “temporary hold” until an investigation was done. At the end, they ordered me to give my son back to my ex and Pamela, stating that it was only her “first offense” with an abuse charge against her, that it was on “record” but felt that it was safe enough for my son. I was appaled and outraged!
THIS is what good CPS does, not only in example of what occurances transpired with me, but a great many people also exerience the same frusration that I do. Countless cases against CPS are are told, yet nothing is being done to prevent poor decisions from resulting in the deaths and serious injuries of children everywhere. They are understaffed, overworked, and not properly trained enough to make a wise action. We need to have CPS regulated and educated to have better results in the future for the sake of our children!

I feel terrible for the children who are abused, neglected, and abandoned. And I am sorry for the pain anyone suffers. But as a parent myself and now raising my daughter (previous foster child) I would have to defend CPS and other foster parents. CPS have the hardest job out there and they do a good job. The system is not perfect, but nothing is. As for foster parents, these are people who open their homes and heart to innocent children. Not all foster parents are bad, and not all biological parents are good. My advice to you who feel the need to criticize the people who are out there trying to make a difference; you need to realize that you would do more good joining up with CPS to help them fill the gap of the bad foster homes by becoming a good foster home. Standing around complaining that CPS and SOME foster parents do not do a good job is ignorant. Unless your willing to open your heart and home to children, what right do you have to tell the people who are trying that they are doing a bad job? Take personal responsability and make a difference, not another problem.
