Child Protective Services laws and agencies are abusive to families and children. This site provides support and information to parents falsely accused of child abuse by Child Protective Services.

FightCPS does not advocate or condone violence or illiegal activities of any kind.

FightCPS is intended to help people learn enough about the law to be able to successfully defend themselves and their families against false accusations using legal documents and strategies that put parents in a stronger position when they go back to court.

For more information, see the FAQ.

Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.

Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.

Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.

Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.

Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.

CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.

Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.

It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.

Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.

Fighting Child Protective Services False Accusations

September 1, 2007

When You’re Dealing With CPS, Where Are Your Friends?

I went through it and I’m sure most of you have been through it too. When you’re down and out, your children taken by social service workers, depressed, frightened, traumatized, lonely, and in need of support – do your friends and family turn on you, saying hurtful and accusing things to make you feel ten times worse?

That’s apparently what happened in Bremerton, Washington a few days ago. A traumatized father looking for much-needed support from a friend admitted his children were taken by CPS social workers. His friend responded by saying the line Americans have been brainwashed to believe: “Most people deserve to have their children taken away.”

Most people don’t want to admit to themselves that a government agency, CPS, could be wrong. They still have blinders on, believing (as brainwashed in government schools by forced daily reciting of the Pledge) that America provides “liberty and justice for all” and that government agents can do no wrong.

This article was written about my brother, although no names were mentioned. I would like to keep it that way for privacy reasons.
The article did make a mistake though, after questioning my brother at length. It was the friend that hit him in the leg with the pipe, not vice-a-versa..
I am Vice-President of washingtonfamiliesunited.org Along with my President, Elaine Wolcott-Ehrhardt we ran with this article. We are currently involved with a blog , that does not allow us to be so honest.
I have tried to adopt my nephew.
They gave me the final “NO” when the Kitsap County AAG, Peter Kaye and the “DEPARTMENT” filed a “SUMARRY JUDGEMENT” against me . Of course they won. The judge that heard this , was the same judge that terminated my brothers parental rights. Not only have I spent thousands of dollars in attorney fees,I have basically depleated my lifes savings,taken a second out on my home, and have taken money out of my retirement.
I would do it again in a heart beat for this child. He is the only son, of an only son, of an only son. Our families only name bearer.
I have kept every scap of paper work, every e-mail, all very organized in three 6 inch binders, so this kid will know how much his family fought for him and loved him. And so he can sue this department, if that is is wish, when he turns 18,. There are so many discrepancies in this case it would make your head spin. Actually they aren’t discreancies..they are lies..
This past legisaltive session, Washington Families United really got involved. We, with the help of many others were able to get HB 1624 passed..98-0. This allows children who are 12 and older, who have not been adopted and it has been three years without permenancy, to petion the courts for re-instatement of their parental rights.
I will never go away. They have my blood. I will do what ever it takes and for how ever long it takes.
Thank you for letting me bend your ear.

Thanks for letting us know the rest of the story. I feel for your brother, your nephew, and the whole family. The heartache of losing a child is worse than any other. I hope your brother’s friend realizes how much your brother needs understanding and compassion right now. And thanks also for your work with Washington Families United.

Folks who have been reported to CPS, for anything, often find that they, too, might resort to calling CPS on you.

For any reason.

CPS needs clients to survive.

And often, CPS knocks when folks are experiencing hard times.

The best and most succinct advice is simply not to interact with them.

POLITELY.

Very hard—-since Moms often go into a defensive, talkative mode.

Yes, it is hard for folks to realize that CPS and their 23 yo caseworkers are simply drumming up business.

On the lighter side, *Youtube*

‘DOC OVIOUS’ FOR A LOOK AT contradictions within CPS and their interventions.

Please Moms—practice good manners and don’t go overly defensive when CPS comes a knockin’.

Be smarter and network with others in your community to talk to the powers that be.

Linda, there are some funny clips on Youtube.com about “child protective*

Of course, it is NOT funny when families are experiencing ‘GUBMENT HELP’

Comment by Fern — September 2, 2007 @ 6:19 am

I too thought “CPS only takes children from bad parents” until I was hospitalized and had my daughter taken. I experienced family turning on me (mother who thought she’d be getting a huge state check to care for her own grandchild – when it didn’t happen she turned her over to the state). I experienced a worker who said(AND I QUOTE) “Any parent who does everything right is the parent I don’t trust, and in all the years I have been a cps worker I have NEVER recommended any child be returned home.” This worker did absolutely everything possible to sabatoge my daughter coming home. I was never found to be abusive or neglectful – I was ill. But she didn’t care, nor did she care that my daughter was suffering from abuse in foster care or just from being denied her loving mother. I thank God for Families United and for the internet that allowed me to research, learn, connect and fight. It’s been four years and she still deals with the trauma they put her through. However, the experience has made me be a stronger and better mother.

CPS has DESTROYED this family. They have pitted my mother & her ‘partner’ against my husband & I. They have tried to break up my marriage of 15 years as well! My kids are being raised in a non traditional lesbian household! Does my mother think she can do better with them? MY childhood was HELL! I don’t want that for my kids. They deserve to be with 2 parents who love them who were NEVER abusive or neglectful! One of our caseworkers is friends with my mother! she goes over to their house and they even admit it! Where is the justice??? Thank God for my friends and coworkers who have supported me through this, as well as all the online groups & myspace people I correspond with. If it weren’t for you all, I probably would not be here!

I thought it was just ME!! I had my daughter illegally removed in November 2006 and ever since that day I have been fighting DYFS!!! I have had family members, whom have not spoken to my daughter in YEARS, claim to know her better than I do!!! They have called DYFS and said my daughter was in DANGER, that I was a VICTIM of domestic violence. My first DYFS worker stated if she got anymore calls about my family, she was taking my daughter!!! Guess what, she DID!!! I am still fighting and I will not give up!!!

My friends were supportive, it is the people in my town that don’t know me but have heard about my daughter being removed from my care, with their sideways glances and gossiping that is most difficult for me to handle.
Family? My family ceased to exist for me on Oct. 14 2004, when my mom called CPS to make yet another false report of abuse and neglect that resulted in a social worker and a deputy comming to my house and axing my door down while my daughter and I were sleeping. They made me get her dressed, pack her a bag and place her in the social workers car telling her she was going to grandmas house. That was the last time I ever held my baby without some self righteous SW breathing down my neck.
My mom finally succeeded in getting what she had been after since my daughter was born……a paycheck and a retirement plan! Both my brothers have backed her all the way. I haven’t been allowed to talk to or see my daughter for over two years now. I can’t believe my own family could do this to me! I can’t believe these are the same people I grew up with and loved and have always been good to! I am in total shock! In my opinin there is nothing worse than stealing a child from a mother. I say it would have been more humane if they would have put a bullet in my head. The pain, agony, sorrow and loss of my peace of mind is far more torturous than death. My life ended at the age of 40 when they stole my child just as sure as if they had shot me. I continue to fight, it is all that keeps me going. I still hold on to the hope that one day this nightmare will be over and my daughter, her dad and me can be happy again like we once were. However, that dream is not very likely to come true because her dad is dying and probably won’t last through this ordeal. The reality is that my own family ruined our lives and what is worse they get a sick satisfaction from knowing how unhappy and wracked w/pain I am every second of every day and night. I will never be OK again unless this horrible wrong is set right! I trusted my family and they all betrayed me like no other person ever could.

Comment by Pamela Petersen — September 6, 2007 @ 9:44 am

THIS HAPPENED TO ME! BUT MY FAMILY REALIZED THAT THIS WAS TRUE THAT CPS WAS WRONG. ESPECIALLY WHEN BECAUSE THEY WERE HELPING ME THEY DRAGGED THEM IN THE ALLEGATIONS AND TRYING TO GET THEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CONTACT WITH MY CHILDREN!!! CPS NEEDS TO CHANGE.

Comment by kwanie — September 20, 2007 @ 4:46 pm

I told very few people about the kids being taken- only people I trust. I’ve pretty much dropped out of several online communities rather than either admit what happened or try to pretend my life was still normal.

Of course, people who saw me with the kids all the time noticed that the kids were gone, and asked, so I told. They knew I was a good mom, and knew that my son had issues, so they understood.

I know people assume that if CPS takes your kids, it’s because you are a horrible parent, you beat your kids, drink, and do drugs, and CPS is just doing what’s right.
I know foster parents are taught to tell kids their parents couldn’t keep them safe.
I know if I go around telling people what happened and why it’s completely wrong, they won’t believe me.

Instead, I just let them figure things out for themselves. My kids’ foster mom has seen how they react to me (big hugs!), and how they react to the social worker who seized them (cringing, asking to leave NOW, locking the door behind her, etc). She knows who cares about the kids’ best interest and who is just trying to CYA.

Comment by Eleanor — September 24, 2007 @ 5:16 pm

Our friends and family have been extremely supportive. I’ve read here on line that we are entitled to an attorney, if you can not afford one, one will be appointed for you. The magistrate (criminal action) ruled we had too many assets as we own a local business and refused. we can’t afford one, just because you own a business does not mean you have money! So my parents thankfully gave us the $1500 up front that the attorney wanted. He does specialize in domestic abuse cases.

Friends locally who hear about this say “You’ve got to be kidding me!” You are the best with children. all these kids would not want to come here if you weren’t. And similar comments.

My question is this. The inital allegations made to the Sheriff were said in hysteria. Per the girls (3 of them all teens) they told the Sheriff they “made a mistake and just wanted to go home”. The Sheriff threatened all 3 girls. The 2 older ones, 16, “if you do not write this statement and put in there exactly what you told me, I will then charge you with perjury and try you as an adult”. Scared with going to jail themselves, they complied. The 15-yod was similarly threatened, but with juvenile detention center.

The CPS worker has also threatened the girls, most recently arresting me on a drunk and disorderly, which I was not on the morning after my husband was arrested. I was an emotional wreck as the 3 girls were walking down the driveway with suitcases packed and I followed thru on a threat to call 911 and report them as runaways. 11 a.m., sitting at the end of my steps drinking coffee, phone in hand. I never moved, never got up, threatened anyone, just cried. Is that drunk & disorderly?

So what to do when children report false allegations, then both the police and CPS threaten them if they want to recant and tell the truth?

One of the most damning allegations is that a 911 call was interrupted. this is a felony. A 911 call was never interrupted by us. The kids claim my husband did it from the house phone. I have the phone records. No 911 call was made from the house phone. We highly suspect it was from a cell phone as the address was not our address, but went to the nearest cell tower by us.

Comment by Karen — October 1, 2007 @ 6:06 am

I never told my family about my experience with DHS (Department of Human Services). I’m an only child and my parents were 500 miles away. They were going through some issues at the time with my grandfather having Alzheimers and my grandmother trying to care for him at home. Plus, my father was forced to take early retirement or be downsized. My child was not removed from my home, though, or I would have told my parents, I would not have been able to hold myself together to talk to them on the phone. Some of the loneliest times I remember was when I talked to my parents on the phone and said yes, everything’s fine, we’re fine, etc. but it wasn’t. An anonymous phone call accusing me of physical abuse destroyed my life. The joy I had at being a mom was taken from me. I was subjected to home visits, threats of child removal if I didn’t attend counseling, my personal life was turned inside out. I tried to cooperate but that just made things worse. They took whatever I said and twisted it. I was cleaning out closets and had boxes out for Goodwill, and the social worker wrote that I had a messy house. I had a wine rack in the kitchen with TWO bottles in it that had been there for months and they asked me if I had an alcohol problem. I told them I just wanted to be left alone and they said I was antisocial. I was never sure who made the anonymous phone call (they did tell me it was anonymous) but I suspect a neighbor who weighed about 400 pounds and couldn’t have her own kids. She was always watching us from her window when I took my daughter out to play.

VETERAN COURT WATCHERS

CALL TO ACTION

http://www.veterancourtwatchers.com/index.htm

A former attorney, and public prosecutor from Portland Oregon , Roger Weidner, and a few American Veterans in Chicago , Illinois , issues this CALL TO ACTION for all American Veterans nationwide, to serve in support as Court Watchers, as we restore courts of constitutional â€œdue processâ€ where truth and justice once again protects the innocent and punishes the corrupt.

WHY VETERAN COURT WATCHERS?

Mr. Roger Weidner, (rogerweidner.com) is the impetus behind this effort, and therefore the resident expert. Veteran Court Watchers are needed to assist Mr. Weidner, and to be taught to duplicate the process. Precious little time is available to convert non-believers. I call your attentionto the CALL TO ACTION where is stated: “All personal agendas not consistent with this effort must be checked at the door.”

I am 2 1/2 yrs into my battle w/DCFS here in L.A. and fit the living dead description many of you have attributed to yourselves. My only hope of resurrection is via my representation (Carlson, deKlerk, Sherman and Rale) your fellowship on this site, my newly found angel, Doris Haley w/the Help Group, and allies like Mandy and Brian Blundell who informed me about this site. I am having a crisis of faith so God isn’t makin’ the list right now. The cross is getting too heavy.

Until now, when I walked up my narrow, insular street I felt as though I was either a leper or a ghost as the same neighbors who gave me thumbs up as a mom now want me run off the street based on certain of my daughter’s unsubstantiated allegations.

I am ready to shed the stigma. Because my case is still in litigation, I will not comment on details, but my parental rights have been terminated and the sentence did not fit the “crime.” To shorthand the dynamics: Single mom, older child adoption, mother-teenage daughter conflict, meddling neighbors w/more goodies than mom. In the meantime, rather than consider healing our disconnect, disassociative tendancies have been engrained even deeper as a history of more disconnects evolves as she is punted from house to house on our street. Now she is currently living with a neighbor whose companion who has a criminal record which the DCFS conveniently does not want to know about. In all fairness, my former daughter is nearly 17 and does not want to return home, but at least before she went into her current placement we had a pulse. Now, because of the DCFS drama, our relationship has flatlined. Although we live on the same street, we pass each other in silence as I am not allowed to have contact with her and the neighbors who were instrumental in leading DCFS to my door, if not pointing the way to it, now claim they are not involved.

i am involved with cps right now because i used to have a extremly active 4 year old little boy. since all this has started he no longer wants to go outside and play or ride his bike. He no longer wants to roughhouse with his 8 year old brother, because he is so afraid of getting hurt and getting taken away. cps has told me it is not proper behavior for my boys to wrestle and roughhouse.my 4 year old has been interviewed by someone from the states cps team and by a state police detective.they have had him seen by the states cps doctor . they have not recieved reports from the state police detective or the states cps doctor but theyopened a case againsst me in court and they made me sign a paper for an informal adjustment if i didnt sign it they said i would go to jail and my kids would go to foster care.when all this started they made me pull my son from his babysitter and put him with one of thier people, the lady that is watching him right now is not even a daycare provider she is a fosster parent. i have to report every injury he recieves within 24 hours.the thrid day the new sitter watched him she took him to the park and he hit his forehead on the slide and he got a bruise about the size of a half dollar when i reported it they said its ok because she was watching him as if i dont watch my children.

“It takes a village to raise a child.” Whatever happened to that? It used to be that communities and neighborhoods were full of people who looked out for each other out of concern for their own families and children. A concept born out of mutual respect and adherence to the “GOLDEN RULE”. Now all it takes is THE VILLAGE IDIOT to call CPS (A PRACTICE THAT SHOULD BE AS ILLEGAL AS S.W.A.T.TING) and from that moment on the IDIOT receives prestige, protection, anonymity and attention while you (the parent) are given the presumption of guilt. Just you dare to attempt to prove otherwise, after all you’re the parent and all parents suffer from some amount of parental guilt. It’s human nature and can be a powerful and useful parenting tool. Unfortunately, natural parental guilt, is what those PREDATORS from CPS are trained to pounce on!

Comment by lodidodidicegirl — June 19, 2008 @ 10:29 am

Fern,

You mention “The best and most succinct advice is simply not to interact with them. POLITELY.”

I had a CPS ‘investigator’ show up on my doorstep on a Tuesday accusing me of ‘not having a job’, not ‘paying my rent’ and ‘not feeding the children’. I have never dealt with CPS before, so I simply showed her my bank statement that shows my direct deposit, my cleared rent check and invited her to take a look in the kitchen (where I was cooking dinner at the time). She seemed VERY agitated to be proven ‘wrong’ and proceeded to LITERALLY stomp around my house ‘looking at the living arrangements’. (I live in a brand new 4 bedroom home in a nice community) I at no time was ever rude with her, but I kept feeling increasingly uneasy.

The next thing I know, she starts asking very odd questions in a alarmingly rude way. Every answer I gave her seemed to anger her more. At the time, I did not have any idea what was going on, but looking back it was a power-trip. She had brought a police officer with her that night and had planned to take the kids, I am sure of it. But nothing she accused me of was correct, all three kids were fine, I was in the middle of cooking dinner and whatever report she was investigating was blowing up in her face.

Toward the end of the conversation, she became nearly belligerent; telling me that teenage boys should not be expected to share in household responsibilities. That I as the mother should be the one who cooks every single night, washes all the dishes, cleans all the laundry etc etc.. (Looking back I should have asked her where the book was on how high to shove a silver spoon).

I am a single mother of three boys who works at home. Most people think when you ‘work at home’ that you either a) run your own ‘girly’ business or b) eat bon-bons and watch oprah while some idiot corporation blindly sends you a check. Without revealing too much about myself, I bring in enough money for a two-income household, but I do have to work close to 70 hours a week (I am on salary).
The fact that we have such a tight schedule means that my two teenage boys occasionally pitch in and help with dinner; they share in chores and do their own laundry.

Being that I am ex-military, the fact that they do their own laundry is not a subject for debate. It is not â€˜neglectâ€™ , itâ€™s called â€˜disciplineâ€™ and when they are the only two in college that knows what detergent does in a washing machine, they will thank their mother.

Back to my original point, after nearly 40 minutes of listening to this woman, I finally told her that she was being rude and asked her to leave. Yes, I was polite about it, but it needed to be said.

She became more hostile and said, â€˜I have to talk to the kids individuallyâ€™. I told her that at this point I wanted an attorney. She looked at the cop and said, I am done here, (looking at me) I am going to talk to the kids.

About 20 minutes later she comes storming out of the kidsâ€™ bedroom, heads for my sliding glass doors and says â€œI need to look around the perimeter of the houseâ€. She goes straight to a garbage can that is sitting in the back of the house, removes all of the garbage from the top of it and takes pictures of beer bottles at the bottom.

Apparently, she had barraged my kids with questions and they told her that I do occasionally drink beer on the back porch. No kidding, I smoke back there too. Wow.. Iâ€™m have two teenagers, I think I pass for 21.

She hands me a piece of paper filled with â€˜requirementsâ€™ that I must do to â€˜keep my kidsâ€™. Excuse me?

Like I said, I have never dealt with these people before, so I told her that I was not signing anything until I speak to an attorney and that she needed to leave. Now.

The next day I wrote a complaint to her supervisor and mailed it. (thinking back I should have driven down there and handed it to her… not sure that would have made any difference).

The day after that (Thursday) she showed up at my doorstep at 10am. I politely asked her if she had a warrant or court order, she said nastily (and as if I was challenging her) â€˜No, do you want me to get one?â€™, I told her to have a nice day and closed the door.

She stood in the driveway for over 30 minutes pacing angrily and talking on her cell phone.

The following night (this is now Friday), she came with a police officer and stole my children. When I asked her what the grounds were, she sniped, â€˜Because you refused servicesâ€™. When I asked who authorized the removal, she picked up her badge and shoved it in my face. In a matter of four days, she removed my children with no grounds whatsoever.

That was four months ago. I still do not have my children back and no one cares how it was done or why. They keep saying, donâ€™t worry about what happened in the pastâ€¦ we have to work on putting your family back together.

In the meantime I have jumped through more loops, taken more time off of work, paid lawyerâ€™s fees and gone through â€˜evaluationsâ€™ with presumptuous questions that have no right answers. If you answer in a way that doesnâ€™t conform, they put down something else. (One doctor even told me that he does these evaluations on a contract and that there were â€˜certain thingsâ€™ they (CPS) expect to see when they get it back. Nice huh?)

There is no â€˜being politeâ€™ with these people.

My advice is if they come to your house and the situation seems weird, get the hell outta there and take your kids to a relativeâ€™s house in another county. MOVE. Treat them like what they are and protect your children. They are legalized kidnappers, plain and simple!

Now that I have shared my story here, I have questions to ask all of you.

What is the point? Do these â€˜protective investigatorsâ€™ get bonuses for removing children? Do they get demerits if a report is wrong? Why would this woman be SO determined to tear up a family that she knows nothing about?

It doesnâ€™t make any sense to me at all.

My teenage girls falsely accused my husband 16 month ago. Visitation was denied for 389 days. I saw them twice. Everything about the DHS and police case is wrong but they will not give it up and they are so afraid the girls will change their story and have to let us alone. I am the non-offending parent and the caseworker told me I will not get them back because I do not believe their story. No trial yet and permanent guardianship is in the immediate works. How is that possible without any proof? All the authorities have done is lie and I do not get my kids because I tell the truth. I will have my day in court! I also have kept every piece of paper and recorded every phone call and meeting for proof.

I’ve read all these stories…….
It just breaks my heart. I’m in the middle of my son, (biological Grandson) being taken a week ago today. I have raised our baby boy since he was an infant. It was made legal when he was one and a half.
I wasn’t accused of physical abuse, but of medical neglect. And It’s my own daughters saying this!! Our son has cystic fibrosis. I have traveled over a hundred miles, one way, every 3 months to get our little guy to his appointments. The Doctors have NEVER even one time told me I wasn’t doing a good job. They always told me they thought I was doing great! So I had no worries. Big mistake on my part!! Now , since the state got him, they say that His weight and growth have stagnated the last 2 years. Yet not one time did they ever tell me I needed to do something different! If they had, I would have done it in a heart beat!They always have told me I was doing a great job! They also say the he smelled of Cig. smoke. But I never smoked around him! CPS has been to my home 3 times and have NEVER seen any signs of me smoking in the house! They talked to my little guy alone for about 40 minutes, then told me he had nothing to report! No kidding?!! Now I know you can’t even trust Doctors at times. :( His biological mom, my daughter, abandoned him when he was an infant. Refused to get him or his then 3 year old brother. I didn’t report it to CPS because I didn’t want the boys put into foster care. She came to my home and said Mom, you need to get Guardianship. And I did.
My other grandson’s father stepped in and got him. But our little guy had NO ONE who wanted him but myself and my husband. Now, my daughters are all against us after all these years and they’ve taken our angel away from us. It doesn’t even matter that not ONE doctor saw any red flags of neglect on our part. They think of him as a puppy that can just be given to any other family member and think I should be happy about that! I saw him last Friday, at the end of our visit he started sobbing and say he needed to come home…..It was almost more then I could bare. He’s with one of my other daughters who’s in on this whole thing. It’s just very strange that she, along with another daughter, have had me watch their children constantly and drive them around all over, come to all the family dinners and then pull this! I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.
God Bless all of you who are out there going thru this HELL. My heart an prayers are with you. And I sure could use some prayers also…….

My friend has recently had her kids taken by CPS under false accusations of her x husband as well as other crimes through the police which are not true. she could not get a restraining order because of no physical proof which is a crock.

There has been physical abuse of the kids by the x husband which just came to light from her children. All three of her children have disabilities and on last visitation they looked sick and getting worse.

The police won’t do anything because it is civil and CPS only takes the side of the x husband whom never wanted the kids or has paid a cent for them. I am a friend who has not turned on her but every time she turns around somebody is accusing her of something which is so untrue.

I would really like to know how to stop these false accusations from going on and mostly to see the actual abuser to see the inside of the jail cell. If you had this happen to you or have some kind of suggestion for me to try and help my friend I would really be grateful. Thank You

yes, I was given the cold shoulder by some. Others didn’t get the gravity of the situation. They, like I, had thought of CPS as a benevolent institution, to investigate in a fair and thorough (and respectful) manner neglect and abuse of children, and to offer helpful services and resources to poor families who were struggling to keep a home (food, utilities, etc.). We are all middle class, regular people, no drugs, I mean we are just regular people who don’t get in trouble with the law, and MAN, WERE WE IGNORANT. My friends are still ignorant. They have no idea the trauma we have gone through. They probably think I’ve “moved on” from it, but I’m really scarred. I know nobody who has gone through this, that I can talk to. Nobody understands. Even therapists do not understand, if they themselves have not been through it!

My home was never ‘broken” before CPS came and broke it for me.

Thank you for this website.
