My mother and her 6 siblings were all raised in 6 different foster homes due to phisical and sexual abuse in thier home. All of their foster homes were loving and supportive and all of them have only wonderful things to say about their foster parents. I am also a foster parent and am a loving and caring person who loves children. I hope it makes some of you feel better knowing that there are a great many kind and loving people who foster parent simply because they love children and want to see them get through a tough time during their lives. May all children have the blessings of warm, loving adults to care for them.

Internet search:
1. Administrative Law for DSHS/CPS
2. Office of Administrative Hearings, file a fair hearing against CPS, yes CPS
3. Civil rules of the court regarding juvenile court rules. Those court papers have laws they must obey look them up find out if they followed the law.
4. DSHS Internet website. In Washington state it is www1.dshs.wa.gov
5. Go to the Law Library look up family law desk book
6. go to the Public Library they have law information
7. Request copies of Policy Manual for CPS and Procedure Manual for CPS it is also on the DSHS web site. The copies of the manuals are FREE!
8. Communicate by paper either by snail mail, fax, E-mail it’s a paper trail and a legal document for the courts to be used against CPS.
9. The CPS workers from the case worker, supervisor, area administrator, regional administrator, and assistant secretary all share the decision making on a case and all are liable for the mistakes of one. CPS can be sued in Washington state I believe.
10. Keep everything they give you and anticipate their next move before court. Take the extra parenting classes the more eyes that see how you behave the better it looks for you!
11. I am an Alaska Native who’s case did not get handled according to CPS’ active efforts of locating and directly referring me to services. Make them provide proof of their claims of active efforts make them give you copies of CPS referrals for ALL SERVICES not just the ones they send you to like psychologist for evaluations.
12. Educate the public on what you have learned on your CPS research knowledge is power.
13. GO TO THE COURT HOUSE request your case file know what they know about you read the lies! Fill a declaration statement and write your thoughts out and file them in court.
14. I myself am gathering my evidence against them by means of college transcripts, Employment Security Records of places worked and monies earned, medical records from the CPS themselves! Request your records what are you waiting for?
15. Locate people in authority that are involved with your case I don’t care who they are they all have a boss, get the drift? Make your requests via E-mail be professional and non-threatening, send your requests/complaints to all of the workers for the DSHS system, they all have to act or look stupid because they didn’t. They know I will follow up and keep on working them until I get what I want from them. My daddy always said the squeeky wheel gets the grease.
16. Commit yourself to God believe that he will help and give him thanks and praises for the little victories along the way. Much Luck to all on your travels let me know how you are doing!

Clearly there are a lot of voices here. Many of us have been victims, or know victims of this abomination called CPS. Miracles can happen, but a lot of times it means a fight. Maybe even a war. I have called out for a miracle many times in my life, for I am the product of the tormenting horrors of a twisted foster system. But, what really needs to happen is all of our voices need to come together. Ones voice can mean everything to one person and yet nothing to the world. But bring the masses of voices together and we have a family. Families change the world. A lot of times, what we find is we need a shepherd. We need a hero. But what if we all were to come together as a whole?

My children in So Co California, are living under guardianship, with the former foster parents, who have lost their foster care license due to abuse of my 3 children and the other two who where in their care.

Under the Ca guardianship, they continue to receive Fed Foster Care Funds. The only difference is that they are no longer under the auspices of the Superior Court Judge. I opted out of Dependency Court and the Commissioner.

I amazes me that those entrusted to allegedly protect the alleged abuse victims, cause more damage and perpetrate more harm then any allegations of alleged abuse in the home.

Parents need tyo become a united front and hold CPS accountable. By doing so, the CPS needs to be decentralized and a system of checks and balances needs to be established. Currently CPS has immunity from much wrongdoing, manipulates reports, facts, psychological exams, foster agencies, …etc. Without decentralization, partial privatization and a system of checks and balances all American children are under a constant threat from CPS.

Great site. I am glad I found this. It is good to know that there are others who feel that CPS and the system have problems. My wife went to the school councelor for our sons behavioral problems (he hits is sisters and sometimes throws things). We were actively seeking help for this problem. In the past we had him in play therapy. In any event, 1 week after asking the councelor for some advice….CPS shows up on our door step. Ridiculous.

I pulled my son out of school due to the teacher getting him naked. I am now having cps show up at my door step. What do i do? I have the school now making things up, i left my other son in due to him having such a good teacher. I am scared, i know if i try and fight back they could just take my kids.
