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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

Amazing What Some People Think I Have Time For!!!

It always astounds me when people come onto this site, say I’m not doing the right thing, and suggest some other thing I should be doing to help change the CPS system.

For example, today I checked the comments for this site and found a comment from Darrin who thinks I should be tracking down a man I’ve never met, whose name I don’t know, to get more information before posting something about a news article.

Sorry, Darrin. I don’t have time. Do it yourself if you think it needs to be done.

Then I came across Carla’s message about creating a new child protection system. Great idea, but again, I don’t have time. I think Carla should do it because after all, it is her idea.

This reminds me that not long ago John told me I should focus my efforts on getting more funding for foster children. Yeah, right… like I would ever do that! Foster parents already get lots more than welfare recipients, and they keep complaining. Don’t get me started on that one! If John thinks that’s the answer to all CPS problems, then John should do something about it.

We all are led by our hearts, to do what we think is right.

Back in October 2000, my heart told me to start this site. I’ve been struggling with this site for almost seven years now, and with trying to help people going through one of the most emotionally devastating events of their lives. And every time I hear about CPS injustice tearing a family apart, it takes a toll on me. I’m constantly upset by things I read on this site - for example what RJ just wrote about his infant being taken by a CPS agent at the hospital because his fiancĂ© mentioned that she’d been depressed when she was 13 or 14. What teenager hasn’t? Why does that mean a firstborn child should be taken from its loving mother? This stuff really haunts me and grabs at my heart.

Many times it isn’t easy for me to bear - which is why I’ve left the message board here in the loving hands of other advocates and activists who want to help counsel people going through CPS hell. That is what their hearts tell them to do, and I’m so grateful for anyone doing anything to help change this inhumane system of cruelty to families. I don’t need or want to be the center of attention here. I’m only doing what my heart led me to do seven years ago, and I know it isn’t right to stop doing it yet. So here I am, still, after all these years.

Which brings me to the point of this article, which is that we all should listen to our hearts and our consciences, and take whatever actions we feel appropriate for the highest good of all involved. If your heart tells you to advocate for families one-on-one, then do it. Don’t expect me to - as that’s not what my heart tells me to do. You do your thing and I’ll do my thing. And hopefully if we all work on doing our heart-inspired tasks, together we can make huge changes in the world.

One person can’t do it all. Don’t even try… this problem is way too big for that. But do your own small part, just as I’m doing my own small part. And don’t think that this site is the ultimate family rights site. If your heart is telling you to create another one, there’s a reason for that! Maybe it is the right thing to do! Don’t hold back. Everyone has talents and capacities that can be drawn upon to help fight CPS and make this world a safer, healthier place for families. Do your own small part and don’t worry about what others are doing, and don’t be like Darrin, Carla and John, and try to tell others what they should be doing. That’s not helpful at all.

If you’ve read this far, I thank you. And I want to tell you what I’ve been doing lately.

It may surprise some people like the three I just mentioned, but I don’t spend all my time working on this website. I hold down a part-time job in my community, and I own two small businesses that are barely profitable… but they keep me busy. I live in an extremely low-budget cabin in the Klamath National Forest, which I rent. I’m not a lawyer and currently don’t work in the legal profession at all. I have a boyfriend I dearly love who expects me to spend a huge part of my time with him. I’m a 55-year-old woman (boyfriend is 56) and I still have one child at home, plus four adult children. My youngest is almost 18 and so soon, for the first time in 35 years, I’ll have no minor children to take care of. Also I have no grandchildren which considering the work I do on this site, could be a divine blessing and protection.

For the last few days my home has been threatened by a forest fire. I live in far-northern California, in a small town called Happy Camp. I came home from my birthday trip to the coast on Saturday night to find that there was a forest fire blazing on the hill next to the forested hill I live on. One of my part-time small businesses is the Happy Camp News site which I’m grateful to say, is in the process of being sold so I won’t have to keep working on it. But this week I’ve been posting articles about the fire, doing interviews, etc. plus I had to remove all my valuables from my home and pack everything, because it seemed that evacuation was imminent. At this point the fire is less intense, however that could change again. So all this stuff is going on, plus I’m still going to work where our workload tripled because of the huge numbers of fire fighters present in our town at this time.

Then I came in here and saw messages from Darrin and Carla, and well, this article is the end result. I don’t need anyone telling me what to do with my time, or saying I’m not doing enough by providing this site, some simple legal information, and a message board for people to connect on. This is what my heart leads me to do, and I’m doing it.

I know that most of the people who come to this site appreciate what I’ve done here. I’m sorry I’m not able to do one-on-one counseling and legal help, but I really don’t have the time or stamina, and like I said, hearing the sad stories affects my heart, and it is nearly more than I can bear at times. I’m a very sensitive person and I love you all.

I don’t want you to stop writing about your heartaches here - because I want the people that matter to come here and read these things. I want CPS workers to stop by and read what we think of their tactics for destroying families. I want foster parents to know that many of the children they are hostage-holding for the government are taken unfairly from innocent parents. I want legislators to come here and realize the CPS system is horrible, unjust, and inhumane. I want them to know that they must be the ones to take the lead, by writing laws to end this system of cruelty in our country. I want lawyers to know that if they aren’t defending their CPS clients actively and aggressively, they are doing a disservice, and are (in my opinion) frauds to be taking on clients they can’t or won’t defend properly. I want them to have the heart to do what must be done in court to safeguard family rights.

Enough said. Thanks for reading, and I’ll post more sometime when I’ve got more time on my hands for publicizing the details of all the injustice CPS does to harm children and families. That seems to be my lifework, which my heart draws me to. I’m here for you as much as I can be, and wherever else I am, you know I’m totally on your side, hoping for all good things to happen in your lives.

  2. WOW, did you ever miss the point! And managed to blow it into something else, too.

    You spend your time telling foster parents what to do, or what not to do, but cannot even comprehend that you might be myopic, and perhaps even have a great deal of misplaced anger. And if you’ve been doing this site since 2000, that’s a long time to be keeping yourself angry. It will take it’s toll on you, if it hasn’t already.

    By the way: I know of a six year old child hung by his toes from the banister by his depressed mother. He died because a judge decided that CPS needed more information regarding her mental state at the time of the hanging. The judge returned him, and she feel back into a state of depression. The second time she hung him, he didn’t make it. It was less than three days after he was returned home. Now, I feel sorry for anyone who deals with depression, however, that doesn’t change the fact that the child is dead. And, I don’t think that she should have more rights to parent, than he has a right to live. I’ve given you the highlights to this case. There is seriously more this child had to endure, none of it pretty. I refuse to apologize because I wish CPS could have done more for this child.

    Mearly another perspective.

  3. Carla, I think you missed the point of this site. I am not here to tell foster parents what to do. I’m here to help falsely accused parents. Having people like you come here to learn what we know about the child welfare industry is a sideline.

    Yes, we all know real child abuse exists and it is a crime that should be addressed by real law enforcement agents, not by CPS workers. But there are many more depressed mothers capable of doing a good job of caring for their kids than there are depressed mothers who kill their kids. Just because a few (very few) depressed women killed their kids, there’s a movement to take children from all depressed mothers. Wow, depression is common. This means CPS workers will be very busy - which is what they like. Lots of kids will be ripped away from the families that God gave them. And you know what’s really crazy about the case I mentioned? The girl’s depression was ten years in the past, and she still lost her baby. If you think this is justifiable, I think you’re warped.

    Carla, you’re a foster parent. You’ve got children to take care of. So why are you wasting your time on this site which wasn’t built for you? You’re not going to change my mind, or anyone else’s.

    Comment by Linda — July 19, 2007 @ 8:27 am




  4. I agree with Linda! Come hell or high water, I’m going to the DC Rally to fight for parents who are victims of CPS! The laws need to be changed and federal funding for this whole corrupt system needs to be STOPPED! My children were ripped away from my husband & I because they labeled him an ‘alcoholic’ and me as having ‘mental problems’, mainly borderline personality disorder. I’d hate to break it to them,but BPS people are rarely violent toward others, particularly their own children, and my husband has been totally sober with UA’s and breathilizers to prove it. Yet those bastards gave my children to my lesbian mother & her ‘partner’. They are particularly sadistic here in Fremont County, CO. They violate parent’s Constitutional rights and commit perjury on a regular basis. The CPS problem needs media attention and good lawyers willing to file major class action lawsuits against this whole corrupt system!

  5. I have never posted to this site before. I have found amazingly usefull info here. Things that If I’d known when they took my little ones I would not still be fighting 4 years later. I would have had my kids back at the little fact finding hearing. Your site probably takes so much time to take care of. If you focus on exactly what your doing now you are doing enough. As for funding for foster homes and other suggestions it takes more than one person to make that happen. People cannot expect you to take on everything and do it alone. It will take a group of people the size of a nation to throw a big enough fit to make the changes happen. As for the people who killed their kids because of “depression” , they were far more worse off than just depression. And it’s true that there are very few. Every mother goes through post partum depression or depression of another sort in their lives. Every parent will experience depression at some point. The cps system exploits that. Not to mention all the paranoid people out there who make referrals and accusations about someone based on what they want to believe. Another thing a mother who hung her own child is not merely depressed. She is insane which is a totally different issue. It is up to all of us to do our part here. Your site is helping me help others here. We use some of you information to share with others who may have come in contact with cps or may be worried that they will because they have vindictive people in their lives. Please keep up the good work. Mayhap you will have help from someone soon.

    Comment by amy — July 19, 2007 @ 12:05 pm




  6. Linda, THANK YOU! for all the info that you post because like you said it can only help those parents that are falsely accused of a horrible crime. I have seen what CPS can do if they just flat out dislike you and how you are raising your children as a single parent. It’s horrible. I come here 3 to 4 times a week to read a new article that is taking place around Amercia and I print them off and I mail them to my Local CPS department to remind them that they are not perfect either! There are good and bad foster homes just like there are good and bad cops but like always the standard should be set at the top and when they screw up well people should know about it because everyone seems to want to blame the parent.

    Thank you again Linda and keep the articles coming because I know that CPS office is sick of me reminding them what a grappy job they continue to do!

    TO CARLA…….read my web site and tell me what you think of foster care system!

    Comment by Natalie — July 19, 2007 @ 12:34 pm




  7. Linda, I like to thank you and everyone else for opening my eyes to defending myself against CPS. I can’t make it to that rally that they are having in Washington DC but I would like to acknowledge that if there was ever a system that needed a serious overhaul it is CPS. Since I have been coming to this website I have learned how to defend myself against this system and let them know that I do not have to take their garbage. For the people that are looking for you to take care of their CPS problems, as far as I am concerned, this is a self help program where you can get answers to questions on how to deal with the problems that they are having with CPS. Remember, God helps those that help themselves.

  8. I found this website yesterday, and I wish I would have found it sooner. I have been dealing with OCS, or more commonly known as CPS for five years now. It would have been much easier if I would have known that other families were going through the same things that MY family has had to endure. Thank you Linda for this site! My advice to everyone is fight tooth and nail. Don’t give them the satisfaction of having your child become another statistic. I’ve read things that really bothered me, things that I have had done to me at the hands of these “legalized kidnappers”. During my five years of hell, I have went through everything from self reflection, musta been a bad parent for that time out for the temper tantrum, to depression, why was I blessed with this amazing gift if God knew I would screw it up, to motivation, I’m tired of listening to you lie about me, to inspiration, my child begging me not to give up and to continue fighting for her. My case was dropped by OCS this past Monday for “Lack of Evidence”. Gee and it only took five years. Five years of seperation, five years of emotional neglect and abuse harbored by the foster care system to my daughter. Five years of heartach and lies told to myself and my family. Five years of recording phone calls with anyone involved with the case, five years of writing down times and dates, five years lost to the system by the system in the system. All for what? For the taxpayers money? My daughter is a statistic, my family is a statistic, I am a statistic. Its time to fight back. The road to hell is paved with good intentions or so the saying goes, but at what cost? My daughter has been diagnosed with “displaced loyalities” as well as a long list of depressive disorders which I believe spawned from the abuse the state inflicted and the neglect the system had on my family. I think its time to step back and re-evaluate the system all together. I believe that OCS, CPS has helped families. But, for every family that DID NOT need help and lost their children through the loop holes of our justice system is it worth the emotional and mental strain that these children had to go through? They strip these children from their parents BEFORE asking the proper questions, BEFORE getting the facts. In my state, the statistics are grim. For every three children taken only ONE will return home. One out of three. Considering the 500,000 children that are taken and an estimated 1/2 taken out of false pretenses the numbers are sickening. When are we parents going to be safe from lies and abuse of the so called system. I’ve heard many times, “the system works, Naomi.” If the system worked, my family, my daughter, I would not be a statistic. It doesn’t matter if you are white trailer trash from the middle of no where or a struggling black mother of four you should have the right to protect yourself and your family from these “protection agencies”. Who is going to protect us from the “big bad wolf” knocking at the door quite literally wanting to steal our children in the middle of the night. My heart and prayers go out to every person who has ever had to go through one once of pain and suffering for false accusations. I know a family who’s children were taken when there was NO accusations of abuse or neglect. It took them exactly 9 months to gain unsupervised weekend visits with their children. NO ACCUSATIONS OF ABUSE NOR NEGLECT. The system does not work.

  9. Linda,

    I don’t know you, but I came across your website as my best friend is going through a case with CPS. Her daughter is 17 1/2 years old and brought abuse charges against her. I just want to thank you for all that you have done. I only wish we had found your website a few months ago when this first started. I had no idea how many people have gone through “CPS Hell” which is truly the only way to describe it. Again, thank you for your website. It has been a Godsend.

  11. Our family would not have made it if it had not been for this site. We learned how to fight the system. We were confused as to what to do and how to do it. This site gave us insight on how to confront the system head on.

    Linda’s site has given many of us courage to go out on our own and help others. Many from this site have their own websites and others have become great advocates for the cause.

    Linda has planted the seed and now it is being watered by those of us who know now what to do to stop this hideous monster.

    No one on this site that I know have complained about the good foster parent; it is all directed toward the abusive one’s like in our case.

    The foster mother in our case caused tremendous damage to our granddaughter.

    One day our granddaughter was applying for a volunteer job. She was asked if she ever committed a felony.

    She told her mother she could not apply for the volunteer position because she committed a felony.

    Of course our daughter was shocked with this reply and asked our granddaughter why she thought that.

    Our granddaughter explained that the foster mother had called the police on her one night and while she was asleep the police came in and handcuffed her. They then took her to a mental hospital and started pouring drugs into her.

    Our granddaughter got into an argument with the foster mother over her not being able to call home. Our granddaughter then got up on the roof of the foster mother’s home and would not come down for a long time.
    This was an easy roof to climb on and she often went on it to think and sort out her feelings of anger on what was being done to her.

    This is just one of the incidents this foster mother pulled on her. The foster mother had a boyfriend who was very kind to our granddaughter and was upset that the foster mom did this.

    We did not find out about this until six months after we got her back home.

    There are too few kind foster parents in this system.

  12. I think Carla has quite the myopic point of view. So okay you know of a depressed mother who hung her child, CPS knew this woman was depressed. What did they do to help her care for her child? Did they supply somebody to make frequent checks on her? no Did they supply her with transport to dr appts? no Did they help her to get antidepressants? no Did they encourage family if any or friends and neighbors to help her? no Did they supply her with a babysitter to help her with the child and ease her stress? no What did they do they kidnapped her child causing more stress probably causing the depression to get worse then the judge sent the child back to a woman who was unstable and cps again provided no help. On paper the things I listed are exactly what they ARE suppose to do they are suppose to help keep families together and support them not distroy them which is what they do! I found myself in shock when I read the state operation manual and then saw what was actually happening because on paper CPS is great. They just don’t do what they are suppose to there is your problem. I don’t think anyone on here supports child abuse we all want to protect children but who do you report CPS to when they are the ones abusing the children?????

    Comment by Debbie — July 20, 2007 @ 4:14 am




  13. Linda, both your head and your heart are in the right place!

    The only good side to the injustice perpetuated upon your family, is that you now have become an effective and seasoned advocate against the numerous failings and outright falsifications that CPS engenders.

    And thanks to you, the realization around the NATION IS GROWING that CPS is a deeply flawed and intensely destructive system.

    Cheers! If you can help one teen or child taken from a family unjustly you will have accomplished your mission.

    And I know that you have probably awakened more families and teens to the illegalities endemic to CPS.

    You represent a point of view which is growing. Thanks to your fearless Website, etc.

    Google DCF connecticut. Not one person regards DCF with respect.

    CPS IS BROKEN. This truism is spreading.

    Best. F.

  14. Hi

    I LOVE THIS SITE. it has been a great site to meet others being falsely accused and I have learned so much. I understand time. I dont have time for so many things now that these people have a hand in my life. It is very hard trying. I am thankful you do what you do. I have met so many different people and found so many laws and thing that I am going to use for my case. You have every right to feel the way you feel. We are not actors but America want us not to talk about how we feel. Not being yourself is acting. I dont see a section that says improvement so everyones thoughts about it not being enough dont know how much it has helped me.

    God Bless Linda please dont stop what you are doing.Much Love to a wonderful administrator.

  15. I LOVE YOUR COMMENT DEBBIE. You couldnt have said it any better that you did. My case is similar they said because me and my husband both work and have 4 other children that is why we neglected our infant that is in foster care. So what was the suggestions. Make them take classes and make them take off of work to do counseling and nursing classes and spend the little money they do have. Lets add things to their already busy schedule because we wrongfully took him in the first place so if we can get them to crack and make them look crazy we will be justified. But there was something they didnt know about me. I am a child of God! God Bless everyone!

    Comment by kwanie — July 20, 2007 @ 4:28 pm




  16. cala your comments are usless on this site, may i suggest you post them else where. linda i personnally enjoy your website, i did not uderstand why cps would abuse famillies but, i now have a pretty good uderstanding why this keeps happening. it’s great that there are websites like your’s telling of the abuse that cps and their acomplist’s inflict on deffencesless families across the united states. i first learned of this website while at the cps office, my boyfriend’s brother seen it written on a poster towards the bottom in small print (fightcps.com) shortly after sombody removed the poster probly a cps worker that did not anyone else to see it, while they were looking for someelse to victimize. thank-you taking a stand and creating this site.

  17. Applauding Linda Entirely!!!!

    This sight is for what all the wrong wrong and then some with the system called CPS point proven..

    The orginal intent for CPS was NOT what is happening today and that is the PURPOSE of it!.that is even more the purpose of the DC Rally which i sure hope turns out to be more than HUGE!!!!

    Our children are depending on us all to be therie VOICES!!
    CPS right now as crooked as it is are depending on our voices to stay HUSH HUSH!!..

    when in doubt, read and learn the corrputiveness going on right now, as I type.

    so shame out to that Foster Mother who totaly missed the POINT of this sight!.

    she needs to get her head our of her BUTTOCKS!..

    Comment by Angela Hawk — July 22, 2007 @ 5:12 pm




  18. I read the comments on the other topic and replied to them. Lots of people have views of CPS in different ways. There was a site that focuses on adoption that bashes parents whose children were taken away from CPS. My thing is that they really don’t know about the system too well and they are fed positive views instead of the negative. That is the same way I felt, until it happened to me. Without this site, I probably wouldn’t be living. Sorry to say. I can’t believe that I am here without my children, it is hard to live through.

    Comment by Sabena — July 24, 2007 @ 11:22 am




  19. Linda, I want you to know that I have helped several families using the resources provided on your site. I think you are doing a wonderful job! Maybe you could give direction to people like Darrin and Carla who want to help? Like a link to create a site such as yours?Just a thought.
    Because of this site, I wised up.I keep a recorder next to my phone 24/7. I helped 9 families , to date, who have begun to use these wonderful resources! I
    Like many of these people I have enemies who use the CPS as a weapon. I have been falsely accused myself of using, selling, and using my children to sell drugs. All lies.
    I have evidence on tape, in writting, and still no one will listen. Of course this will remain on my record, which I want cleared up. I have never been been charged with child abuse, though my oldest child has undergone abuse. I turned that in. What a HUGE MISTAKE. Luckily I had a good worker who knew that I did the right thing and today, parents are encouraged to speak up on any abuse endured by their child. When a parent wants justice they are served with a lifetime sentence by being in the CPS history books. I am going as far as I possibly can, so that the CPS system will be forced to update their policies. I confronted a CPS “Supervisor” who reacted as if he were a wet noodle.I told him I had him on tape to.I have that man on tape during a phone conversation (which is legal in Iowa) calling his social worker’s unborn child an “UNBORN FECES.”oh, and he started to stutter as he did on tape. Not answering one single question. I just want to go to the answers. Once he learned I had him on tape he had me talk to his supervisor. This supervisor had absolutley no answers and no spine.
    I have the county attorney refusing to file charges on a woman who lives almost 200 miles away, never been to my home, who maliciously reported me and who has never once met my children, on tape. The false accuser was arrested shortly after her allegations against me for manufaacturing the very drug she accused me of manufacturing. (even though CPS claims they never used the word meth, they did. One of the police officers that was with the worker accused me yet again for drugs. It’s a vicious cycle and I want my good name cleared. I do not abuse children.
    Myspace, exellent idea. I think it will help us go even further about spreading the word.
    Keep up the good work.
    Bev

  20. Linda, you rock. Pure and simple. No matter what you’ve done in this lifetime, for this site alone and the good it has done, I’ll personally stand up defend you in God’s Court.

    God Bless, and may you keep Living Large.

  21. Oh please, you are all so sad…..get a life. CPS is not all bad, it has room for improvement, but what government agency doensn’t? For all you “parents” who don’t have your children, work your case plan and quit whining……Everyone’s not out to get you, or your child….What a bunch of sad, sad people……………..

  22. bob i did the cps plan they decided afterwards they would put in a new case plan and not give me a copy and give my attorney a copy two days before court and tell him nothing changed. what is sad is that you would spend time trying to belittle famies that have been abused by cps and show no copassion for helpless children being phycally, mentaly, emotionaly and sexully abused by this system. your probly one of these abuser of children. i agree with johnny it would be wonderful to do away with abusive cps family wreckers.

  23. When I used to hear people complaining about DHS, I thought ” They’re just people complaining, but they must’ve done something wrong.” When I met DHS in November 2006, I thought ” They’re just doing their job and their investigation will show them that my children are well cared for.” I was wrong. I ” cooperated” with DHS in order to keep my children out of foster care. That was the choice given to me. After being lied to, by the CPS worker, several times, I decided to no longer “cooperate” with them. Next thing I know, felony charges are filed against me. $5100 of attorney fees, 9 months and 10 times that my oldest daughter had to change residences, and yes, my children were seperated, my felony case was dismissed 3 days before my trial by jury. According to the DHS supervisor, it was dismissed because the State was unable to locate a witness, which isn’t true. So, the report by the CPS worker stands. Yes, I appealed the county DHS findings to the state DHS. They receive the same report made by the CPS worker , and upheld the findings. No further appeal may be made. I’m not buying it. I will not give in to this corrupt system. To end this note, my daughter was moved from a youth shelter in this county and into one in another county and was raped by two boys. The supervisor at DHS told me that it was my responsability to find placement for my children. I am limited to supervised visitation. Title 10.Chapter 71,Section7102 states that “the best interests of the child shall be of paramount consideration.” DHS has lost it’s purpose. I stongly urge anyone wronged by DHS to not give in to their power. Do not let them intimidate you and help prevent such atrocities from happening to other families.

  24. Thank you Linda for this site, what a heart of compassion. I wish we would’ve known this when we fought w/ cps almost 9 yrs. ago and lost…….
    still cry everyday over my grandchildren and will until they return home, then it will be tears of joy. Please, keep the good fight going, theres strength in numbers. NO WHERE is it written in my Bible that “God helps those who help themselves”, if we could help ourselves, then we wouldn’t need Him or people like Linda. There will always be “bashers” of this site, why not? They have to defend their paychecks somehow. Does anyone know that a starfish doesn’t have a brain? That must be where the most of them live “under” a rock, bob or is that “Patrick”.

  25. Linda all I can say is thanks to all the information here in this site I am greatfull. You have open my eyes and I am fighting them hard, strong, long and with everything I got. Thank you for thr site I have learn so much and to that guy BOB get a Life looser, the goverment paid you very little to take kids away from their parents for what you still have the same pay……LOL. Looser

    We the Parents have waken up and faught back, you are just mad because we are makeing your job harder and we got linda to Thank for.

    If anyone here does not think that linda did her piece by creating this site then get lost and get out of it. This site is for thoose who had kids taken away from them under false acusations like myself, The OTC stated child had a scratch in the nose from a narrative story of 2003, but when they files papers in court the lead the judge to believe it just happend and the judge granted the OTC in 2006. God knows what else they did. In Connecticut everyone has a price tag $$$$ how much do parents have to fight Jee! its been two years and now I am going to trail in the OTC.

    Do you see what I mean…..?

    Best of luck to everyone and God Bless Us All because the Devil is Loose.
