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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

  1. On March 4th, 1976, at 6 AM, CPS picked up three kids from a garbage dump field, where their mother threw them, because she could not handle them anymore. Their father abandoned them 3 years before and never returned. The kids ages 5, 9 and 11, one girl, two boys. CPS dropped the kids in one of their shelters and look for a foster family to care for them.
    On March 5th, at 2AM in the morning they found a family who was willing to take them in their home. CPS dropped the kids at the family home at 3 AM, and did not contact them for 20 months.
    During that time, the mother of the kids went to jail and got out and never requested to see her children. The father appeared all of the sudden, when he heard that the grand mother had put $25,000 trust for college for each kid.
    After learning the place where the children stayed, the mother asked CPS to request the foster parents to adapt them, and the father agreed, with the condition that the foster parents pay him the $75,000 that was in the trust fund, but lost all interest when he found that there was not such a trust fund, after all.
    Never in my life I saw kid so terrified of their father and mother, afraid of everything that surround them, and desperate for love and security. They cling to the unconditional love the foster parents gave to them, and slowly, they came back to life.
    After a year, the three kids, asked their foster parent to adapt them, and so they started the process of adoption.
    But CPS had other ideas, and fabricated lies to destroy the lives of three innocent children.
    I invite you to read the letter, these foster parents sent to the Department of Family and Protective Service for Texas. A letter never responded.

    The repulsive corruption of the Texas DFPS is out of control. If you know what these foster parents can do to return their kids, please contact them thru this website.

    Mr. Carey Cockerell, Commissioner
    DFPS State Office.
    701 W. 51st St.
    Austin, Texas 78751

    Mr. Cockerell,

    We have sent the attached letter to Scott Dixon, Regional Director of the CPS region 6, but it seems that he does not care to fulfill the obligations to the taxpayers that pay his salary and prefers to ignore our request for help.

    If DFPS mission is “to protect children, the elderly, and people with disabilities from abuse, neglect, and exploitation by involving clients, families and communities” as it publicly broadcast, and CPS stands for “Children Protective Service”, we would expect that each organization would carry out their obligation of protecting the family and the children.

    What they project is the opposite, and is shown very clear in this case, where the power struggle of four CPS workers, is ruining the brilliant future of three innocent children.

    We are sure that you, in the position for which you have been elected, will understand the potential ramification of this issue, stand for the protection of the children, in this case, the three we are concerned about in this letter, and will do what ever is necessary to get the children back to us by speeding the adoption process.

    We were FIRST IN LINE to adopt the three children referenced in this letter. The CPS workers involved in this case ignored that fact and willfully neglected their duties toward us in every essence of the word. The Texas Family Code refers to their action as “grossly negligent and willfully wrongful and made in bad faith, with malice, with conscious indifference or reckless disregard to the well being of the children and potential adopted parent.”

    We recommend you read the entire letter attached, and order the action a professional with ethics would do, to rectify the wrongdoing of your subordinates. We are not interested in their sentence, if any; we are only interested in the return of the children to our home and to speed the adoption.

    We do not wish to resort to several hidden laws in the state of Texas, that protect our rights, to right what is so obviously wrong.

    Respectfully,

    Juan-Carlos Maas-Herken, PhD Arch & Urbn Sharon Ann Maas, R.D., L.D.

    Mr. Scott Dixon
    CPS Director for Region 6
    2525 Murworth
    Houston, TX 77054

    Mr. Dixon,

    This is a long letter but I strongly recommend that you read it in its entirety, give it the required importance and priority it deserves.

    Under false accusation, last October 2007 CPS moved three children who lived in our house for twenty (20) months, and whom we were in the process of adopting. The accusations were determined to be unfounded fifteen days after the removal, but the children were not returned to our home, nor we were informed the reason why or any determination of the case.

    For seven weeks, we called the CPS workers in charge of the case, and every Monday of the week we were told that they would review the case on Tuesday and call us on Wednesday, but never happened.

    On December 17, I received a call from Gina Pattison (CPS worker, phone number 713-394-4507). She told me that the children would not come back to our house because we refused to accept the plan presented by Mentors of Texas. I asked her if she received the plan and she responded that she did NOT receive the plan. I told her that we did not receive the plan either, therefore it was not possible to reject a plan that we did not read.
    “In that case,” she replied “the children will not come back to your house for some other reason. Call my supervisor and ask her.” She gave me the number of Sandy Besig.

    I called Sandy Besig (Telephone number 713-394-4275) but she was not in the office. I left a message and asked her to call me. She did, and she told me that the children would not come back to our house because I was undergoing anger management. I asked her from where she heard that. She replied that MaryLou Schackleton, manager of the Mentors of Texas told her. MaryLou Schakleton had fixed information before many times but I never expected her to make such a shocking and untrue statement. I made it clear that I was not undergoing any anger management treatment, and I never did in my life. The only anger management class I ever attended was the ONE HOUR CLASS presented by MaryLou and mandatory under the Mentor’s of Texas for mentors curriculum. “Well,” she said “I don’t know why the children are not going back to your house. Call my supervisor”. She gave me the number of Josephine Robinson.

    I called Josephine Robinson (713-394-4060) but she was still not aware of the case, (after the case was under her supervision for 10 weeks?) She put me on hold and called someone who updated her on the issue. After 10 minutes she told me that the reason the children were not coming back to our house is because I was a very angry man. I asked what base she had to assume such accusation, and she replied that she based the accusation on the letter I sent to them. I asked “What letter?” She replied that whatever letter I sent to CPS was a very angry letter and she ended the conversation. I NEVER sent a letter to CPS.

    In retrospect, on December 11, I received telephone call from Marylou Schakleton, and she told me that she met with Christy Fleming that afternoon to discuss a plan to get the children back to our house. According to the Marylou during the meeting, Christy Fleming (CPS – 713-394-4502) defamed my wife with highly offensive and derogatory slanders. That was too much for me. After sixty days of fabricating statements with the intention to deceive us, Christy Fleming added insult to injury and dared to calumniate my wife. My wife and I have been married for thirty four years; and no one will offend her, much less a person like Christy Fleming who never met my wife, nor interviewed her.

    Marylou also said that she would send me an e-mail with the points discussed in the meeting and she would like me to read and reply with my comments immediately, because she would work in a plan to get the children back, that very night. I had a strong feeling of displeasure and in the e-mail I expressed myself stronger than I normally do, but never offensive or derogatory. What I did not realize at that time was what Mentors of Texas was planning to do with the e-mail.

    In accordance with principles of right and good conduct, an e-mail address to a person is for that person or persons, and not to be broadcasted to others. At least that is what I profess in personal and professional life. I am a strong believer of ethical conduct. This was not the case of the Managers of Mentors of Texas, and as I found out later, they forwarded the e-mail to CPS.

    I am not surprised; we did not see eye to eye, Mentors of Texas and us, especially their top managers Lynne Spiwack, Laura Webb and Marylou Shakleton, who went out of their way to cover up the numerous slip-ups they did. But they did not stop there, they had doctored documents signed by me, AFTER I signed them, asked me to sign untrue statements under the threat of withholding my biweekly reimbursements, and threaten to terminate our association if I did not comply with demands that, had I complied, would have jeopardized the life of the children under our care, just to mentioned some of their repugnant threats.

    Looking back on time I am sure THE E-MAIL IN QUESTION COULD HAVE BEEN DOCTORED AS WELL.

    During the thirty six months we worked with Mentors, I held them accountable for hundred and twenty professional and moral violations as well as safety violations – local codes and DFPS rules, and even their own procedures - putting in danger the children under mentor’s care. I have each and every one of those violations documented, witnessed, and recorded. I bombarded them with requests to correct their wrongdoing, they did not count with my inquisitive tendency.
    Since then we have resigned from that organization. (Please see attached letter)

    The three children came to our house at 2:00 AM a Monday morning, fretting for their lives, angry, malnourished, behind grades in school, afraid to leave their room, and with fifteen prescriptions, for the highest level of ADHD, that counteracted each other. (The three children suffer from the highest level of ADHD as diagnosed by three independent Psychiatrists) Although we asked daily for help to CPS and The Mentors of Texas, especially in the area of prompt medical attention, they ignored us to a point of risking the mental health of the children by not providing any assistance. This response we could not accept, and took the appropriate measures by seeking the necessary medical aid ourselves.

    With unconditional love and understanding, we turned those three defeated children into normal human beings, highly successful in school and with high self esteem for themselves.

    Seven months ago, when they were removed from our house, they were able, not only to type in the computer (they never had a computer before) but to use programs such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. They could design using basic 3D programs, illustrate with Photoshop, prepare beginners drawings with AutoCAD, participate in Micrograph competitions. They learn how to search the Internet to find the best answers to their school assignments. They learn what Diversity means and how to live in harmony and respect every person they encounter. They knew the names of the President of the USA and the leaders of other countries in the world as well as the throughout the USA. They could discuss international news with easy and started learning the stock market. But most important, they learned that with every right there is a responsibility, and applied that notion to homework and entertainment. How many children can you count, that received that type of education in preparation for their future?

    None of our many calls to each of the four CPS workers mentioned above were returned to us. We were told by the attorney of the Children Robbie Gail Charette (713-664-4465) that nothing would be resolved about the future of the children until the middle of May, 2008.

    Well, the end of May is around the corner and we have not heard anything about the children or their permanency. We know that there will be a court decision made some time in the second half of the month but have not been able to collect any information about the case or how to proceed about the adoption of the three children CPS has closed the doors on us.

    We still want and hope to adopt these children, as a matter of fact, we are the ONLY family in the CPS list, that want to adopt all three of them together, and we hope you will help us.

    The names of the Children are:

    We will appreciate your support and prompt response to this letter.

    Subject: Resignation

    To the Mentors of Texas, Houston.

    This to inform you that as of December 18, 2007, my wife and I are resigning from the Mentors Network system. We value our principles and we live by them as an example of character and integrity. We can not belong to an organization whose members not only betray the people that work with them, but also the mission and values of the same organization.
    Since 2004, the Mentors of Texas in Houston, betrayed us three times. Because we truly love and totally dedicate ourselves to the children assigned to our care - which we have demonstrated over and over again - the first two times we were betrayed, we put aside our feelings, and continued helping the Mentors Network giving the best we could. But, as everything else, three strikes and you are out.
    We are not including here the numerous manipulations, cover-ups and lies generated by management the many time there was a screwed-up and I called their attention and asked for an explanation.
    This last action was the straw that broke the camels back, and a maneuver so low and repulsive that we can not accept. We strongly believe that this must be publicized, and hope that people will not be allured to become part of an organization that betrays its people.
    Even Judas had the courage to show his face when he betrayed Jesus, but those people of The Mentors of Texas in Houston involved in this last betrayal had reduced themselves below the traitor’s level.

    This is all about the best welfare of the children……

    Senator Nancy Schaefer of the 50th District of Georgia….. is looking to stop the Government Child Stealing Ring…

    She needs all the help she can get! If you have any info. Please send it to her..

  4. I had my own battle with CPS which I eventually won, but right now it is the situation in Texas that concerns me. While I don’t agree with the religious beliefs of the FLDS, I have initiated a petition calling for the impeachment of Texas District Judge Barbara Walther because of her unconstitutional behavior in the FLDS case. Please sign the petition at http://www.gopetition.com/online/19682.html I will be sending it to Texas lawmakers.

  10. I want to thank all of you who are trying to help others to prevent them from going through similar injustices. I, also, urge those of you who are dealing with DHS to listen to the advice given to you by those of us who have been through it, and when it is over with you, remember it and never stop speaking out and giving advice. The system will not change itself. You and I have the ability to bring change. In Oklahoma, the rally begins on June 13. Every state is holding a rally around Fathers Day. Please, attend and bring whoever you can. We have to show them that we mean business. We are making a stand at every state capital. Fathers, Mothers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, and even Foster Parents. We know that the system is broken and corrupt. Will you, please, prevent it from continuing to harm your children and your children’s children?

  12. This is the short story about what happened to my granddaughter in CPS’s care. As we all know there are hoops, loops etc… to go through..

    The story aired on Fox’s Channel 26 News in Houston, TX, but there was not enough time to tell of all the medical complications, lies and deceits which went on.

    Rachel (my granddaughter) had after only 7 weeks in Foster Care.

    Rachel still suffers from Asthma and is on 1-2 meds daily. When I got Rachel (my granddaughter) from CPS she had, which doesn’t show in the report: Asthma, an Ear infection, Thrush of the mouth, Blisters in her mouth (a virus), Conjunctivitis, Colic and the rash on her bottom. When my daughter removed Rachel’s sox her feet were blue.. It took 20 minutes for the circulation to come back into her feet.. Now mind you, we have all of this on video and audio recordings.

    Not only did CPS not seek her any medical attention but also, they denied it… I had to sign a paper that I would not discuss her medical condition with anyone other than her babysitter and the dr when she was returned to me. In court they lied to the Judge but got caught.

    CPS tried to hide Rachel from her mother (my daughter). My daughter showed up on Tuesday for her weekly schedule visitation with her baby and was told by CPS (the caseworker) that “we forgot the baby, you need to reschedule” My daughter then rescheduled for Thursday. When she got to the CPS office she once again signed in and was told to wait. After waiting 45 minutes they again told her “the case aid forgot the baby” you need to reschedule. How do you forget a baby two times in one week?

    We immediately knew that something was terribly wrong and feared for Rachels life, due to her health problems at previous visits, and were able to get an Investigative Reporter from Channel 13 to call CPS, so my daughter could see her. This is when we discovered and video taped, Rachel’s medical needs that were being neglected. The Foster Parents then dropped Rachel off at the 24 Hour CPS facility on Hillcroft. The facility on Hillcroft did not seek medical attention for her either even after we requested that she be taken to the dr or emergency room… All along the caseworker was yelling at us over the phone to quit calling her, she also told Rachels Peditrician the same thing… On Sat, May 26th it was the caseworkers, daughters birthday, and her day off, so she did not want to be disturbed.

    Also, the week prior to the visit, when my daughter saw Rachel she was severely sunburned. It was also reported to us that she had a heart murmur and misshapen head, but had never been to a doctor. This diagnosis came from an unlicensed person from ECI, which is paid, by CPS to diagnose and monitor children’s growth and development.

    During each visit with my daughter, Rachel threw up continually. When Rachel was returned to me (the Grandmonther), in the diaper bag was: A 1/2 empty bottle of Children’s Cough Medicine (she was only 5 months old), an empty tube of Baby Gas X, an empty tube of some type of ointment, Orajel and soiled clothes.

    We had a total of 6 caseworkers and 6 Supervisors. I ran a license check on each and everyone of them and not one of the caseworkers and only (1) of the Supervisors is licensed. The licensed Supervisor is the one in the video which denied my granddaughter medical attention.

    Below is the link to the report from Channel 26.

  13. I forgot to mention how this mess started. CPS showed up at the hospital stating that my daughter had marijuana and opiates in her system during the birth of Rachel..

    We were able to obtain a copy of the test from the hospital and there was no marijuana in her system and the opiates were given to her during and after the birth of the baby.

    Then 2 1/2 months later my son-in-laws sister called in a false report to CPS.

    CPS then took Rachel…. We did not know our Constitutional Rights at that time.

    We later sued the sister on Judge Judy and won. She was found guilty of making the report out of spite!

    She was mad at her brother…

  14. Please anyone going through this keep notes of every phone call, every conversation and video tape all if possible…

    If you get your court transcripts you will be able to pick out the lies and discredit them.

    Court is so tramatic that you really don’t remember all that is said when you leave.

  15. Kudos to the Maasses!
    If everyone who publish their story in this website has the guts to put the names of the culprits ( CPS Workers, Police people, Judges, etc.) you can be sure that many heads will be cut-off and the system will start shaking.
    It is time to start exposing those who hide under the blanket of annomity.
    Thank you for being an example of honesty and gallantry.

  16. Folks in Texas should look at this video showing a newborn being taken from his hospital bed.

    WITHOUT A SIGNED ORDER FROM JUDGE.

    This happens everyday in TX.

    Semi professional documentary filmmaker, Mike Hanson, however, was there to record the happenings.

  17. Our Judge was Judge Phillips, 314th District Court, Houston, TX, Son in laws attorney was Sprott, daughters attorney Eva McInally, all made the Houston Chronicle. There was an article written on them and the corruption… The attorneys which contribute the most money to the Judge gets the most cases… There’s more… Go to Houstonchronicle.com -Here is the article written…

    A select few get the cases - and the cash / Juvenile court judges often select attorneys who donated to campaigns

    By SARAH VIREN
    Staff
    A relatively small group of attorneys, some of them old friends and all financial backers of judges handing out work, regularly receives close to half of all the tax-funded appointments to represent the poor in the juvenile courts, a Houston Chronicle analysis has found.
    The system, criticized as cronyism by some, has made several attorneys between $100,000 and $200,000 a year on the public dime, according to county payment records from January 2005 to February 2008. It also has saddled a handful, including a few who take outside jobs, with caseloads exceeding the recommended number.
    Some lawyers who seek a share of the work say local juvenile judges have found loopholes in a state law passed seven years ago meant to take the favoritism out of the appointment process.
    And some parents complain of lawyers who don’t return phone calls, continually reset hearings or pressure children to plead guilty to crimes they say they didn’t commit.
    Court-appointed attorneys given the most cases argue that talent and tenacity get them more work. All three judges in the juvenile courts, which see cases involving kids who are abused or in trouble with the law, defend the system and deny playing favorites. When not relying on a random computer system to pick attorneys, each says, he chooses the best attorney for the job.
    “All the people who practice in these courts, everybody has known each other for years and years,” said state District Judge Mike Schneider. “And you have a feeling of who does what.”
    But criticism is mounting. In March, state Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, called for a public defender officer for all the courts in Harris County, pointing out that this is the only major urban area in the nation without one. Harris County Commissioners Court agreed to study this issue.
    And late last month, a report by a national juvenile justice group studying the county’s overbooked juvenile offender system found fault with the juvenile courts in Harris County.
    “Defense appears to be lacking here,” John Rhoads, a consultant with the group, told a roundtable of officials, including County Judge Ed Emmett.
    A 2001 law
    The juvenile courts downtown are an epicenter of human drama. Each day Judges John Phillips, Pat Shelton, Schneider and their associate judges see some of the rawest tragedies: babies with iron burns, 14-year-old girls tattooed with gang symbols, drug-addicted mothers forced to surrender child after child to the state.
    Amid the mess, the judges are the conductors and the attorneys are the instruments.
    When a child welfare case is on the docket, as many as six attorneys huddle around the judge’s bench: one for the child, one for the mother, one to represent Child Protective Services, and, depending on the number of children involved, one or more to represent the fathers. Usually, each of these lawyers, except the state attorney, is appointed by a judge. And, depending on the docket, for some attorneys that client may be the the 20th that day, county records show.
    `Too many cases’
    These CPS cases are not subject to state indigent defense laws, meaning judges can pick whichever lawyers they want. About 22 attorneys get the bulk of assignments.
    “There are some attorneys there that are very good, and because they do a lot of work they have a lot of experience,” said attorney Troy Sanchez, who works child abuse cases. “But then you have some that are maybe given too many cases, and they can’t put in the time that needs to be put into cases.”
    Under the Texas Fair Defense Act, a law passed in 2001, courts should randomly choose attorneys from a pre-approved list of qualified lawyers. But the law also lets judges develop more flexible appointment plans, which the juvenile courts here have done.
    Nearly half of all juvenile delinquency appointments have gone to about two dozen of the nearly 165 attorneys vying to represent these young offenders, payment records show. Two attorneys regularly appointed have disciplinary records with the Texas Bar.
    Judges say they don’t check the disciplinary records of those they appoint and that they rely on the most experienced or available. But many of their top picks also are juggling additional cases in family or criminal courts.
    One of the top earners, attorney Oliver Sprott Jr., has done court-appointed work in the adult criminal courts and helped handle a death penalty case while making nearly $200,000 a year in the juvenile courts since 2005, records show. Public defenders working full time on juvenile or child abuse cases in Dallas County earn between $70,000 and $113,000; Travis County pays between $50,000 and $100,000. Sprott declined to comment for this story.
    Caseload of 400
    Another attorney, Mark Castillo, works as a part-time municipal judge in South Houston while pleading approximately 400 cases involving young offenders each year in Harris County. The National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals recommends a juvenile caseload of 200.
    Castillo, who works most Thursday afternoons in the South Houston courts and does arraignments there every other afternoon, said he finds time to give juveniles a good defense and thinks public defenders would be even more pressed for time.
    “A lot of them are just misdemeanors - a graffiti case, a marijuana case - those can be disposed of pretty easily,” he said. “You just try to get the best … you can for them.”
    Friends, contributors
    All three juvenile court judges have been accused, privately at least, of favoring longtime friends or campaign contributors when appointing lawyers to represent the poor.
    But Shelton and Phillips bear the brunt of criticism. Both received more than 90 percent of their campaign contributions from those they appoint; Schneider took in about 74 percent from these lawyers, according to a Chronicle analysis of contributions since 2005.
    Mark Sandoval, an attorney appointed almost entirely in Sheltons’ court, has also represented Shelton’s wife in a lawsuit related to a fatal car crash involving their daughter, who was convicted of intoxicated manslaughter late last year. Sandoval, who did not return calls for comment, continues to get appointments despite being twice suspended between 1997 and 2000 by the State Bar of Texas for professional misconduct.
    And two of the courts’ top earners, Sprott and Glenn Devlin, who together earned $1 million from taxpayers since 2005, are longtime friends of Phillips and Shelton. Devlin was Phillips’ campaign treasurer and former law partner. And each year during baseball season another top earner, attorney Gary Polland, lets Phillips sit in his seats near home plate for a dozen or so games. The judge says he always repays Polland for the cost of the tickets and has taken pains - including limiting all donations to his campaign to $500 per person - to erase any appearance of impropriety.
    For his part, Shelton says he gets no joy from his appointment powers and plans to study public defender offices in other cities. All three judges deny any correlation between contributions and appointments.
    “I would be happier if there was a public defender system,” Shelton said.
    The only formal complaint against the courts thus far took aim at Phillips. In 2004 and again in July 2006, attorney Marc Isenberg wrote to the state’s Task Force on Indigent Defense, which monitors compliance with the Fair Defense Act, noting that a handful of the same lawyers regularly represented poor clients in that judge’s court. The task force referred him to the Texas State Bar or State Commission on Judicial Conduct and sent courtesy carbon copies to the county and Phillips. Last year both Isenberg and his wife, attorney Miriam Riskind, were removed, in a secret vote by at least two of the three judges, from the list of attorneys allowed to take juvenile offender cases.
    Phillips faults Isenberg, who got work in his court, for not coming to him with his concerns earlier but says he encouraged the defense attorney and his wife to reapply for the list, which they have done.
    Client complaints
    Leaving court recently, Falicia Stroud said she was impressed with the attorney appointed for her youngest son. But three years ago, her older boy, now 18, got sent to the Texas Youth Commission after his court-appointed lawyer advised him to plead guilty to a crime he said he didn’t commit, she said. Afterward, Stroud said, she tried several times to reach the attorney.
    “Once they sign the paper, the lawyer doesn’t want to talk to you,” she said.
    When she finally got through, Stroud said, the attorney told her he wasn’t paid enough to take the case to trial. Lawyers in Harris County are paid according to a fee schedule, usually between $300 and $800 per day for a trial or $50 to $100 an hour for out-of-court work.
    Complaints such as Stroud’s are not uncommon.
    Yolanda Washington took off work to take her 14-year-old son to court late last month. He got in trouble for stealing a car, she said, and they met Sprott, his appointed attorney, for the first time at his initial court date in May. Sprott rescheduled that hearing and did so again last month, Washington said, telling her he was busy with a trial.
    For each reset, Sprott usually makes $75, and Washington misses a morning of work.
    But many lawyers appointed in the juvenile courts say they take the jobs because they care. Even those who see cracks in the system doubt a public defenders office would be the fix.
    “The thing is most of us are parents that work up there,” said Natalia Oakes, one of the top earners. “I am speaking for myself, but I think other people feel this way. We like helping children.”
    …
    THE TOP TEN
    From 2005 to February 2008, Harris County juvenile judges gave a relatively small group of attorneys nearly half the work representing the poor in cases involving kids abused or in trouble with the law. All of these lawyers had contributed to at least one of the judges appointing them.

  18. Diando,
    Kudos for you too. This is an eye opener. Did you send this info to a newspaper or maybe someone who might read and act on it? Glen Beck in CNN or Larry King? They need amunition, and will take any thing the can get in their hands.

    Comment by Anne Murray — June 4, 2008 @ 10:46 am



  19. Yes,

    They havn’t done anything. When me and my friend 1st wrote the Houston Chronicle we didn’t think they would either.

    We wrote them on Wed and this article appeared that Sunday and then a 2nd part to it on the following Tuesday.

    Don’t know if it’s because we wrote them. Don’t care either. Just glad it got done.

    We have done the Judge Judy show too! LOL! Sued my granddaughters Aunt which made the spiteful phone call…

    We will keep writing though… Never gonna stop.. It’s kinda like fishing, you put it out there enough and, well, I’ve been very fortunate and got lots of bites…

    Comment by Diando — June 4, 2008 @ 11:32 am



  20. I wish my case would get some ‘bites’. I’ve contacted everyone imaginable & NOTHING. This excuse for a judge here, the dishonorable Julie Marshall, takes kids from households where NO abuse ever existed & pimps them out. Yet she has given convicted child molesters back their STEPKIDS! There are some corrupt child collecting foster homes here too. One of them had a pedophile who molested over 200 kids, & that story was KEPT OUT of the media…who are careful not to publish anything bad about DHS. thank God the good people in this county are beginning to realize what we have working in the govt. here. We need to get this b*tch off the bench as well as Barbara Walther in TX.

  22. Dekia Williams was a CPS worker in the Adoption group in Houston, Texas, who sodomize children over 13 in her “OFFICE” and under the “supervision” of her boss Josephine, who besides being an open lesbian, works as a stripdancer for gays during the night. This is the kind of people employed by CPS. When they denied me the adoption of a 15 years epileptic boy she offered to expedite my case “if I provided her with special favors”. I exposed them to the police and Dekia was fired but her boss is still there. He maintains very good relationship with the females judges. Corruption? OH NO! This is justice american style.
    By the way, I am a registered nurse with 37 years of experience in patients suffering the same illness of that boy, who hanged himself after the last session of sodomy exercised by our lovely decrepit Josephine.

  23. I sure have Diando! did that back last Nov. or Dec. Do you know the last poster, Roxanne who’s from Houston? It’s that bad there too? Why are so many lesbians and sexual deviants in this system? The feminazis are pissed at me because my son said something negative about her ‘honor’ Judge Marshall. Oh well, f em! There’s supposedly a sex tape of her floating around somewhere of this man wannabe with the female DA. I hope it surfaces on You Tube someday soon!

    Comment by Susan — June 5, 2008 @ 7:25 pm



  24. I just finshed reading “out of control” by Brenda Scott, It was an eye opener. That is how CPS operates! at lease it was with us. I had
    nightmares all night. (finished the book in one day) and I still have an upset stomach. The only way to fix the problem is through reform. I know I will be paying close attention to the opinon of those running for any type office from now on. Scarey stuff.

  27. Dear Diando

    Is this your website?. 90% of the entries are from you.

    Yes i am willing, and I tried to contact Mr Wallace six times before, but all I got was “He’ll call you” and got tired of waiting.

    I don’t think he is very interested in helping this cause, otherwise he would have done quite a bit of investivative report. Maybe he is as affraid as every other report in this country. Or mybe this cause does not sell enough TV advertising and therefore it is not worth pursuing.

    I will believe in him when I see a series of at least 2 weeks covering the corruption of CPS. For the press, there is nothing to it, they have open doors to every thing in this country. Why not take advantage of it? The reason is very simple and you know it. For the rest of us, is the cross the we carry every day.

    Comment by Roxanne Schaffer — June 6, 2008 @ 4:21 pm



  28. Roxanne,

    Appearantly, your story is not worthy of his time.

    Maybe you are one of the ones that likes to steal babies and make a profit from it,..

    Are you maybe the one that falsified the tests that were run on my daughter?

    Comment by Diando — June 6, 2008 @ 9:08 pm



  29. By the way Roxanne, I’ve carried that cross many times… What have you done?

    Doesn’t sound like much but complain!

    Comment by Diando — June 6, 2008 @ 9:10 pm



  30. I personally think that you are one of the nurses that turns people in for money…. Wheather they are wrong or not…

    Were you my daughters nurse? How much did you make off of falsifying the tests?

    Comment by Diando — June 6, 2008 @ 9:12 pm



  31. Are you a pedifiale? do you steal babies for profit?

    Comment by Diando — June 6, 2008 @ 9:14 pm



  33. Sorry dear,

    Not my website… Just want to help others.. Not cut them down. I called your house an left you a message… You have not returned my calll..

    Maybe, your just one of those people that seek attention anyway you can get it….

    Sicko!

    Comment by Diando — June 6, 2008 @ 9:29 pm



  34. Are you one of those nurses, like my daughters mother in law that gets drunk before she goes to work..

    Oh, just a few Baileys and cream…. No one will know!

    Comment by Diando — June 6, 2008 @ 9:39 pm



  35. Dear Diando.

    You are such a big mouth that you are afraid to publish you real name and hide under an alias.
    Come on, come out of the closet or take your anger somewhere else.
    By the way. I didn’t bother the rest of the world putting so many nonsense stories in a website. I don’t talk, I act, and in 19 years I have helped 37 children to go back to their parents and maintained their relationship until today. Yes, only 37 children and parents are happy today because, as you so intelligently put “Appearantly, your story is not worthy of his time”, or because as you said, “I personally think that you are one of the nurses that turns people in for money…” or maybe because “your just one of those people that seek attention anyway you can get it….” or just because I am a “Sicko!”
    You need to go to a psychiatric institution, diando, and leave alone the people who really work to reunite families.
    If you called my phone I sure have answered because I am not afraid of Idiots. But YOU DID NOT CALL MY HOME because I do not have a telephone in my home, much less a telephone number. I am sorry for the poor soul you bothered by calling in you anger.
    I helped 37 children and parents, how many did you?
    Since I know you will answer this e-mail, please consolidate all your anger in one, and make it short.
    What is your real name “DIANDO”? are you the kind that talks under anonymity because what they say is pure bluff? I don’t know, and I really don’t care to know people like you.
    “Go ahead, make my day”

  40. FLDS Couple Fights for Full Custody of Their Children

    Reported by: Kristina De Leon
    Email: KristinaDeLeon@woai.com
    Last Update: 8:02 am

    (2008 Newport Television LLC.) Two parents whose children were seized during the raid on the FLDS compound in Eldorado will head to court in San Antonio Monday.

    Lori and Joseph Jessop are fighting for full custody of their children. They say they don’t want the state to have any part in their lives and hope a judge will agree.

    The Jessops have already won a temporary restraining order from the court.

    Now, the Jessops are seeking “full possessory rights” to their children. That means no one from Child Protective Services could disrupt the family. CPS would not be allowed to take the children for psychological or psychiatric evaluations, or question them without their parents being present.

    The Jessops currently have custody of their three children, but the family is subject to CPS monitoring.

    News 4 will continue to follow this story. We’ll let you know what happens.

  44. This is for anyone who is interested in the truth. Dekia Williams was a CPS worker in Houston for 3 months until she was fired and returned to the east coast where she came from. This despicable person handled my case until Ms. Schaffer intervened. This has happened a couple of years ago. Ms Schaffer is the “angel” that appears once in a lifetime, and came to my rescue when I needed help the most. The little I know about her is that 63 or 65 years ago she was separated from her parents in Russia. Her aunt came to America and brought her under pressure and falsifying information to her parents. Ms. Shaffer never saw her parents again. She married a multimillionaire who helped her to establish in Illinois an organization to protect children who came from Russia. When her husband died, she dedicated her entire life to help any parent who lost their children. You can not contact her. She will contact you, when she finds that your case is so screwed up that you, as parent, need more help than others. How does she find out about you? I don’t know, but I know that I was in desperate need of help, and she found me She does not care if you are right or you are wrong (and I was very wrong, but her unselfish action, change my life forever) She goes from city to city and stay there until the child is reunited with their parents. She has friends in high places that help to resolve the case faster than normal. She does not charge a penny for her help. The only thing she asks is that the parents sent her a letter and a picture of the child(ren) every 3 months to a specific P.O Box. (Please don’t ask, I will not give it out. This is my personal contract with her)
    I am not sure the letter that appeared in this site was written by her, because she is a very private person, but whatever that letter said, it is the truth, although I believe she helped a lot more than 37 children. I now live in Wyoming and from time to time I read this web-site that reminds me of the injustice perpetrated by a corrupted organization. When I read the comments that followed her letter, I was hurt, as any parent who received help from her, would be. Hopefully, we will give Mrs. Shaffer the respect she deserves, and keep the insult for those who earned it.
    Grateful in Wyoming.

    Comment by Grateful in Wyoming — June 10, 2008 @ 8:39 am



  45. Hi to all,

    I am, and have been in the Child Protective Services eyes cense I was 8 years old in the year1977, now I am 38 years old. I was tanked from my mother at 8 years old. They put me in 3 foster homes, then they placed me in Orchard Place Group Home, where I got violet, I stared to bang my head. Then I was sent to Cherokee Mental Health institute and they diagnose me with paranoia skis franc at the age of 9 years old the years was 1978, until I was 13 years old the years was1981. Then they sent me home. I tried to go to a normal school they put me in special education and kept passed me.

    They told my mother the where going to put me back in Cherokee Mental Health institute for the rest of my life. I got married at the age of 15 years old, because they could not touch me. I was wrong; the sent Orchard Place Group Home papers to New Jersey and had my first child remove from me. The judge gave him back. I came back to Iowa.
    Iowa ordered me to parenting classes, I gave my baby a bath and their where no marks on him, they took him because he had a nail mark on him, and they sad I did it. Ever cense I can remember I have bite my fingernails until they bleed and I still do. I was only 15 years old and this happed in the years of 1985 and 1986.

    Then I had second child, I had taken good care of my baby girl, in the third month.
    Some one called in and said I was beating and burning my baby. One worker came out and had me strip her down; I have just got her to sleep. The a second worker came out and had me wake her up strip her down, I told the worker that their had been anther worker here earlier that day she gave me a cared and told me if another worker came out to refer them to her card. Anther worker did come out she demanded to see the baby I gave her the cared, she would not look at the card. She wanted to see the baby.
    I looked at her and said you people are not going to leave me alone are you until you get my baby. She said no we will not, I said fine and I packed all my baby’s stuff, I put her in her car seat, I handed her over to her, then I packed the baby’s food, dippers, close, baby bed, toys, baby books, extra. This happed when I was 17 years old the year was 1987.

    Then I got with my third child at six months pregnant Angela Roth told me, as soon as you have that baby we are going to take it and you will never see it again. So, with out telling any one I left for California, they sent papers as soon as they found out I was their.
    California told Iowa we do not need your papers, if there is a problem we will handle it.
    I was 18 years old, the year was 1988. I did not know they said I banned my two kids in Iowa.

    Then I had a nether child a boy in Oct,2 1989 ten days after he was born I got 3rd degree burns to 25% of my body, I stayed 2 week in the hospital, and was skin graphed on both lags and one arm. I got out of the hospital and went home. Two days later I asked William Guest also known as Bill to give L.A. (Little Linda Guest) a bath and leave his underwear on,

    You see I could not give my baby a bath because I hurt too much. I hobble around to get her close together then I went in to the bathroom, and I could not believe my eyes. Bill was laying back and owner baby was sucking him, I took a hold of Linda and removed her, she was 15 moths old. I was 19 years old.

    I was in a ketch 22, I could not fight him, the DR. told me I could not cut the skin graphed open if I did I would be back in the hospital, and I could not protect Linda from him. I tried to report him but they did not believe me. So I weight six long weeks to be release from the Doctor and we drove home and I laid in to him and fought with him.
    I have not seen him cense that day because I told him if I ever seen him again I would kill him. But it scared Linda for ever. I moved to Joshua tree, CA in 1990 I was 20 years old.

    I would not go out at all; I would pay the bills then came home. I was mentally beet down by Bill. But a friend came and took me out, I kept my back to the wall and I watched every one. Them my friend took me over to meet this guy Peter Moran, I was scared, but mine you I have been alone for six months. I gave in to the urge to have sex I never had done that before. Nov, 4, 1991 I gave birth to my fifth child. I was 21 year old. That same year I figured out I could not read of spell. I went to literacy program they tested me my reading, spelling, math, levels was that of a second grader. So in the hands Child Protective Services I got no education. I started literacy program it took me eight years to get my GED. I was able to divorce Bill July 26 in 1992 I was 22 years old.

    Then I Marred Peter Moran Oct, 2 1992 things went well. In May 24, 1994 I had my last child I was 24 years old. I sill lived in California, then we moved to Canon City Colorado in Sep 6 1996, we were the only a day we had a 48 foot rider truck we was unloading, Child Protective came out an gave us 24 hours to get the truck unload the big truck and get the kids beds up and other stuff done. We did it, we put the kids in school and L.A. stared to act out because of that Child Protective came out again, but Todd Hindenburg

    Was the worker and he helped us, and gave us resources. He did not pass judgment. We work with him for years, I trusted him with my families’ life, and he was not there for the power trip. I went to the United States Truck driving school for my CDL license in 1998 I was 29 years old, I got these endorsements, Tankers, doubles, triples, Hazmat, air breaks, bus. I was license to drive all of these kinds of trucks and all vehicles over 29,000 LB. I got my GED in the years 2000 I was 31 years old. I left Pete and move back to Iowa to prepare to see Edward my first born when he turned 18 years old.

    I got in to Iowa on July 5, 2002 two weeks later I found a house to rent in Centerville Iowa. I let all involved know I was back. I got a call one day from Edward; I have a cousin named Edward he always needs help with so thing. I thought it was him that called for help. So I call the number I got back. I asked for Edward, and Edward got on the phone. To my surprise It was my son Edward, after all the years I new his voice. We started crying. And then my little girl got on the phone my Rose they took at three month, I feet blessed. But Edward became a drug dealer among other thing I will not mention. Rose is vindictive attitude then had a baby.

    Then in 2007 I was taking care of a friends 5 years old, we was out side playing. Me Christian, Chris my youngest boy and Tinker (Peter Moran # 2) I went inside to set the table and turn off the food. I started back out side when some one knocked at the door it was the sheriff asked if I know the five year old boy crossing the street. I said yes.

    He calls Child Protective Services and made a report on me.
    They came out the next Tuesday. Then they came out again and told me they are putting my kids on china. I said get off my property. I will beet you in court. I did just that.
    But now they are telling my friends they can’t get rides form me and they are not to associate with me. I am tried of being beat down. I do not have right. I want to bring a law suite against Child Protective Services for a life time mental anguish, harassment. I am 38 years old now. I need help!!!!!!!!

  51. If you want to post it on your website your more than welcome..

    I completely agree.. Children need both parents or and most of all their God Given Parents..

    CPS is violating our constitutional rights, amongst other laws…..

    I know who this Roxanne Shaffer is… I’ll bet if Linda looks up her IP address it is going to be coming from Michigan…

    A case worker from there her name is Kim Vincent and is working on Laura Smiths case, called me pretending to be a police officer and told me she put out a Federal Warrant for my arrest..

    I was sent some CD’s showing abuse of her son and reported it to the police…

    I later received 2 phone calls, (by the way you push I think it is *57) to send a report to the phone company and they can tell you where the call came from and also file a complaint for you…

    I immediately called the police dept back and asked if they had an officer by that name and was told no.. I then called the court house to see if there was any such warrant and told no…

    I sent Kim Vincent (the caseworker) Michigan state laws about impersonating a police officer. They have that e-mail in Laura’s case file and are using it against her..

  52. Also,

    Did you read the comment by Grateful in Wyoming? It’s a little far fetched and I’ll bet coming from a Michigan IP address as well…

    Comment by Diando — June 12, 2008 @ 9:26 am



  53. Well I am Attatching a copy of a letter I am writing to several people. I haven’t mailed them, I kinda wanted to get some feedback from those here on this site. Do you think I make a point or just babble? I am sending this letter to: political figures in Texas
    Governer Rick Perry
    Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
    Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott
    Senator John Cornyn
    Representative Jeb Hensarling.

    What do you think:

    My name is Jodie ******. I am a resident of Gun Barrel City, Texas. I am formally a resident of Canton, Texas in Van Zandt County. I am writing to you today concerning a government agency that is ripping apart families on a daily basis. Child Protective Services is a necessary and worthy agency, as I know that there are many children in this cruel world that are in need of their assistance. But for every child that legitimately needs the agencies help there are many other children that are either left to fall through the cracks or C.P.S. gets involved when it is not necessary. Please read on and consider speaking up for the rights of the family.

    I have a now 16-year-old daughter. She has been a bit of a difficult child for many years. Jaycee seems to think that she can lie her way out of just about anything, and if the story doesn’t sound good enough she can simply add a little to it. I married a wonderful man in 2004. Brien became an instant father to my two children, Jaycee and Christopher, my son. There were the usual problems between Jaycee and Brien. She becoming a teenager and he trying to enforce rules we had layed down for them. Jaycee made a point of breaking the rules every chance she got. On one occasion she made up a story about a young man raping her. After much discussion she finally admitted she had made it up. On another occasion she told us that a teacher had touched her on her thigh. Again, after much discussion she told us she had made that up too. SO when she told the school counselor at the age of 14 that her stepfather had been touching her, to me it was just another false claim. When I got to the school that afternoon I genuinely felt this was still fixable. The counselor that had been the one to call the authorities actually apologized to me for having to call because she didn’t believe her either. But when the investigator from the sheriffs department walked in, you could see immediately that he was buying every word she said. And when I stepped in and tried to tell them about her history and how if they would just let me speak to her alone I could get her to tell the truth, the whole attitude toward me changed. All of a sudden I had neglected to watch my children and I all but allowed this to happen to my daughter. Keep in mind that from the time they were babies I have basically been a single parent and never was CPS ever called to my home. I begged them to listen to all sides of this. From the school we were taken to the sheriff’s department, then to an unmarked home that I was told was the Child Advocacy Center, then to the Department Of Health And Human Services. At no time was I ever informed of any rights I had. At the Child Advocacy Center both children were interviewed, as was I. It was only then that I realized how serious this was. They were planning on charging my husband with Sexual Contact with a Child and me with Neglectful supervision. Oh, I’m sorry let me just say that at the time this happened I was 4 months pregnant with mine and my husbands first child together. So after the shock from the whole thing began to sink in I was then told that the kids and me would not be returning home. I told them that I would most defiantly be returning home and I would make arrangements for the children.

    My mother came to Canton and picked up the kids. When I told them I was not going with the kids I felt the worst parent in the world. I knew that my mother would take good care of the kids, and frankly at that moment I didn’t really want to deal with my daughter who was acting like this was all a game to her. Four days later my husband was arrested. This man has never been in trouble before in his life, had never seen the inside of a jail cell. Now without a dollar to our name and four months pregnant I had to find a way to get him home. After Brien’s arrest I went to the school and talked with both the principal and the school counselor. Both said how sorry they were and that they did not believe that Jaycee was telling the truth. The principal was so adamant about it that he called the investigator on the case and asked him to come to the school. The principal asked the investigator to please look closely at Jaycee’s story and at Brien’s character before making any decisions to ruin his life and family. These were the principal’s words. There was no proof of anything. Only the word of a disturbed young lady. I hold no ill will against the school for calling the authorities. 1. I know that that is their job and by law they are required to do so. 2. As I said before there are many children out there there that sincerely do need the help of CPS. So I still wanted to believe at this point that once he really looked into it all this would go away. After all on one of the occasions Jaycee said that Brien tried to kiss her there were four other people in the home. Granted she said we were all asleep but she also said they had a loud fight that lasted approximately 4 –5 hours. And no one heard a thing in our small trailer home. As far as the investigator went. He was a joke, there was no investigation. We had two friends that spent the night on the occasion I had previously mentioned. They made two appointments with this so-called investigator, whom he said specialized in child abuse investigations. The first time since they were driving in from Dallas approximately an hour away, they called to be sure he would be in the office. When he answered the phone he told the friend of ours that he was asleep at his desk because he had been out all night investigating the murder of a 15-year-old girl the night before. And he wanted to reschedule. So they did. A week later the friends traveled to Canton to speak with the investigator. They went to the jail at their appointment time to meet him. He was nowhere to be found. The clerk at the counter said he had gone home for the evening and had not mentioned an appointment. This is the man that responsible for arresting my husband. Never again did our friends speak to the investigator nor did he ever call any of the people on the list I gave him to call and talk to, this list included my mother who had my children. He never spoke to Jaycee again either. I once asked this man had he ever had a case where it turned out that the child was lying. He said no. I told him that day that when this was over he would be able to answer yes. I am looking forward to being able to tell him he can change his answer now. He owes my family an apology for the complete and utter mismanagement of this case. This case began on February 1st, 2007. To date the CPS workers have been to my mother’s home one time. That was the day all of this happened. They have never called, come by, written a letter, nothing. For all they know my children aren’t there anymore. They have not checked on my children once since that date. We are now a year and a half later. No wonder so many children die or are injured severely in foster homes. Thank God my mother was able to take them. Who knows where they could be now. In June of 2007 our lawyer got the courts to allow our son to come home and forced CPS to Stop threatening to take my third child when she was born. Thankfully so, because I had every intention of leaving town before she was born, they would not be taking the baby. In July we welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Madison to our lives. She is a beauty and has her daddy wrapped tight around her little finger. I have to say that Christopher and Madison have truly saved me through this. They and my husband are the bright spots in a truly dark world right now. Brien spent 2 and half days in jail before our landlords whom had only known us for 6 months put up the $3500 bail to bring him home. These are wonderful people whom I cannot thank enough for their generosity. So here we are now. We received a letter in April (the letter was dated September 2007 but we just received it) stating the Child Protective Services believed that the abuse DID occur. A court date has been set for a pre-trial hearing in the case for August 5th. That’s right we are just now going to court on the matter. However, last weekend we received another letter from CPS stating that the charge of Sexual Abuse on Brien was RULED OUT. And the charge of negligent supervision on me was RULED OUT. No one in CPS or the sheriffs department have interviewed anyone, including Jaycee, not since the original interview. How did they decide one minute that it did happen and the next that it didn’t without anything new to go on? I do not understand this system. As of yet the criminal charges have not been dropped against my husband. Our lawyer says that now it’s just a waiting game and he doesn’t believe the DA will waste time and resources trying this case now.

    Because of the authorities not investigating this and just going on my daughter’s word we have lost so much. The financial loss has been crushing but that’s not even the worst of it. My husband had the shame of being jailed for this and placed in a special area for sexual offenders. The worst day of my life was watching them lead my love off in handcuffs while I kept his wedding ring on my hand beside mine. He had the shame of having his name and the charge listed in our local paper for everyone to see. All of our friends and family are on our side in this but we still wonder if they truly believe him because some of them look at him a little differently now. We have lost so much time. This first year of his baby’s life has been consumed with the what-if’s and the worry of going to prison. We have read and heard horror stories that are worse than ours and some how we go on. Jaycee still holds fast that it happened but the details change daily. She can’t seem to tell the same story twice. I guess that’s what happens when your story isn’t true.

    It amazes me that in a country so great as America that one government agency has so much power. What happened to the sanctity of the family? What happened to working out our problems amongst ourselves? These days the kids have had it pounded into their heads by schools and others that all you have to do is make a phone call to CPS or tell an adult. Now kids know, if you don’t agree with your parents or you think they are too strict all you have to do is make a phone call to CPS or tell an adult that you are being abused. They will always believe you because people are too scared to doubt a child. Take it from me children DO lie. And sometimes it’s for no good reason. Child Protective Services use many tactics to get what they want. Including threats. I was threatened of having my unborn child taken away. At one point the case worker told me that because my mother did not believe my daughter that they were not in safe environment and should be removed from her home. So I stopped telling her my mother didn’t even believe it. When they come into your home they pretend to be your friend and “ we’ll help you get your kids back, we’ll make this right” but when it gets back to the report they say you were uncooperative, angry, and or violent. I am a spotless housekeeper, always have been. When the CPS workers came to my home they even commented on it being so clean. I was so afraid that the report would say my home was dirty that I took pictures of it.

    Mam, I am attaching links to web sites that I had no idea existed until I was thrown into this. The stories on these web sites are heart breaking. Please look at them. Mine is not the only family that has been torn apart by CPS. My story is nothing compared to so many others, I guess it could have been worse even though it’s not really over yet. If for no other reason I am writing this to bring attention to CPS and their ways. Recently the cases of the polygamist group have focused some light on them but only because there were so many of the kids. The same thing happens every day. I am asking you and your colleagues to consider some type of legislation to prevent CPS from removing children from their parents just by word of mouth. There should be some type of proof. Unfortunatly as you will read in the web sited this type of accusation is guilty until proven innocent. I have never dealt with the law. But this situation has made me very untrusting of authorities. I have always hade faith in the legal system. I no longer do.

    I know you are a busy woman but please take just a few moments to look at the attached web sites, you will leave them with a heavy heart. Thank you so much for your time. God Bless. If you fell you would like to reach me to speak with me further about this I can be reached at 903-xxx-xxxx or 903-xxx-xxxx.

    Would you be willing to do an interview on Channel 26 and tell your story?

  60. New Statistics off AFRA
    The following statistics represent the number of cases per 100,000 children in the United States. This information is from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington.

    Perpetrators of Maltreatment

    Physical
    Abuse
    Sexual
    Abuse
    Neglect Medical
    Neglect Fatalities
    CPS 160 112 410 14 6.4
    Parents 59 13 241 12 1.5

    Imagine that- 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children.

    CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children than parents in the United States.

    Just my opinion!

  62. Billy Wiseman,

    By the way, we have never seen a report or one piece of evidence that my granddaughter tested for marijuana at birth.

    They (CPS and the State Attorney) testified in court that it was the mother (my daughter), that tested positive. Then changed their story after I got a copy of the report from the hospital that my daughter did not test positive for marijuana…

    I filed a bar complaint against the Assistant State Attorney, and the caseworker because they both testified to the judge that my daughter tested positive at the birth of my granddaughter for marijuana, and I had proof it wasn’t true…

    I also had the court transcripts to prove it… Everything they based their story on was a lie!

    We even sued the relative on Judge Judy and won!

    She admitted that she did it because they will not party with her anymore since my daughter got pregneat and they became parents..

    Comment by Diando — June 12, 2008 @ 5:57 pm



  63. They also need to do drug testing and psychological testing here in CO. The ignorant deviant caseworker, Karen Moffitt has NO LICENSE, yet the corrupt court took her word as the Gospel truth!

    Comment by Susan — June 12, 2008 @ 11:48 pm



  64. She’s too fugly to have a cosmotologist license. It looks like a dude!

    Comment by Susan — June 12, 2008 @ 11:49 pm



  65. Moffitt also couldn’t cut it as a CNA. Probably because this profession requires a certain degree of integrity & one cannot abuse the elderly!

  66. Can a person that has had their children taken away by CPS for false reasons, such as a prank phone call from a female that did not like her sue CPS. This happened to a good friend who is a great mom, and her kids were taken from her for almost a year. She does’nt have money to pay for a lawyer. What can be done?

    Comment by Janis — June 13, 2008 @ 4:31 pm



  67. Janis, CPS have incorporated laws to protect themselves against tort lawsuits. It’s bull, but it’s true. Research your state laws. In Oklahoma, Title 10, Chapter 71, Section 7105 provides DHS with a safety net. My advice is to inform everyone of the injustices that they get away with, every day. Too many people give into the threats and coercion from DHS/CPS. I did the same. I have my children back home. I research, nearly every night, on this subject. CPS/DHS has become the families enemy. I assure you that the system will change. We’re trying to accomplish that object peacefully, but I fear the worst. The latest news is an opportunity to present the problems within DHS, family courts, etc. to the United Nations.

    Comment by daaronad — June 13, 2008 @ 7:46 pm



  68. Does anyone find it disgusting that on one of my scheduled visitation days my daughter was wheezing, coughing, runny nose and had a hoarse voice but yet I demanded her to be taken tho the doctor because she has asthma and is know to have respiratory infections. The response I got was the foster mom was a nurse!! Who cares, she’s not a doctor and far as I know mental health nurses can’t diagnose and prescribe. Needless to say I had to put it in writing that I demanded my daughter to see the doctor right away. Seven days later she was seen. SICK!!

    Comment by Meghan — June 13, 2008 @ 7:58 pm



  69. Social Services is a failure and should be decimated. I hate them with a passion. I want them to be brought to justice for every wrong that they do. Because of this, I suggest that you have a donation link on your site to raise some sort of fund for those who cannot afford legal aid, as these are the people who Social Services exploits the most. I’d be willing to be your first contributer. I know that God will bless me for doing this. All it takes is signing up with paypal and putting a donation link on your site. And for those that can afford it, they should get on a monthly donation/payment plan to help those in need. If everyone who can donates twenty or thirty dollars every month to support this cause, it will work wonders. And those who cannot afford a lawyer can contact you regarding the fund, and you guys can work something out. Please contact me at waldorfpc at gmail.com so we can talk further. It is my delight to give to those who aren’t fortunate enough to have the funds to afford a good lawyer who will rake these jerks over the coals. this fund will give them the reassurance they need so they can know that their children will come home. “And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”–Acts 20:35.

  70. Juan. My prayers are with you. DSS is so corrupt, but they can be exposed. Go to the press. Go to some press release sites. i have a list that can be found at http://www.avangate.com/articles/press-release-distribution_69.htm Contact every one of these sites and submit a press release. I hate them so bad, so I’d be happy to help you compose a moving and heartfelt press release. I’ll even add some quotes.

    Their organization is so corrupt. the foster homes that they place these children in are so dirty. Love is absent, as they are badly neglected. The children are sexually and physically abused. Not to mention, they leave the children that really need the help in abusive homes and steal the inocent ones. I think that they thrive on harm and abuse. I think they love it and get off on it. It is nothing more than legalized slavery and human trad. These children are nothing more than just dollar signs. The nasty and horrific foster environments they are held in before they are sold so to speak are not much better than the dirty ships and one roomed cabins that the slaves of old were held in before they were traded on the market. they are so twisted. This organization is backwards.

    I will hope and pray that this makes national news. It can with alot of support. You are in my prayers. Love Reina.

  71. susan, thanks so much for sharing these statistics with us. I’m forwarding this site to all of my friends. I suggest that everyone here do the same.

    If anyone you kno is a prospective parent–planning a family–the greatest gifts you can give them at their baby showers are some of the literature that can be purchased on this site because the diapers and clothes and all that will be useless if DSS ravages the family. Knowledge is power, and empowering these prospective parents, especially young parents will be the greatest gift you could ever give. these parents must know that this terrible and horrific organization doesn’t ave as much power over them as they’d like to lead you to believe.

    Susan, I’m going to show everyone I know and run into these stats. These are scary.

    Comment by Reina Brown — June 14, 2008 @ 6:35 am



  72. Your welcome, but I just got them off the AFRA website. These stats are the truth. The govt. tries to twist it around that parents are the real abusers & that more abuse occurs with real parents than with foster parents. I heard on the news this morning that a 13 yr. old boy in North Carolina was found dead tied to a tree because his father & stepmother left him there overnight for like 2 nights. I believe the stepmonster instigated this. I know firsthand from personal experience that whatever a parent is ‘hooked up’ with usually abuses that parent’s child. In my case, it was jealousy. Parents should ALWAYS put thier children FIRST!

  73. Hi there,

    I found this site as a case is open on my girlfriend based on falsified information. Her ex husband’s family lied on her. I have some questions, and it is my hope that some of you here will answer them. I’m pretty knowledgeable about DSS, as they too tried to tear apart my family but were unsuccessful thank God–I will be writing my story to share on the site when I get around to it. However, I’d like to make sure I have all of my facts straight so I can help my friend out. My questions are as follows;

    1. If we video tape them or record them, do we have to tell them that we are doing it? I want to video them on my cell phone but don’t want to let them know, as I fear they will change themselves to act differently if they know they are being recorded. I want to get them as they are.

    2. My girlfriend is blind, on disability, and living on welfare and section eight, where can she get someone that will fight for her? You may think that because she is blind, she is uncapable of taking care of children. But, I”d like to inform you that she is not and that blindness does not stop one from raising children. I, too am blind, and have cared for many children. I went blind at the hands of DSS when I was three years old. Like I said though, I’ll be putting together my story for viewing. Though I went blind, it has never got in my way. I’m a very successful twenty-three-year-old woman who owns a business troubleshooting, building, and repairing computers. I also am active in the National Federation of the Blind fighting for our rigts as a unfied blind community. I’ve spoken to the senate and house in my state regarding literacy rights, and my fight for the rights of myself and others never ceases.

    It seems that people don’t believe in being charitable anymore and want money to take the case. I’m currintly trying to obtain a law degree so I can represent people who have documentation that they are poor and cannot afford a lawyer. i will not work for the state or be umbrellaed under any organization to collect tax dollars for the charity I’d perform. i’m not interested in that. I’d only be interested in representing the poor and less fortunate to be sure their voices are heard and their civil rights are protected. It seems that I cannot get my degree fast enough, so do anyone of you know what she could do? We live in Maryland. Thanks.

  74. Another scarey thing is that every (unlicensed) caseworker assigned to my case (where NO abuse ever occured) thought of herself as a hero. These social workers exhibit characteristics of a sociopath, such as authoritive, controlling, and secrecy. Their one & only goal is to LIE (they call it ‘validating’) to get their colluding actors (judges, GALs, ’specialists’, and the like) to agree with them so that it brings in more $money$. Funny how we are in a recession bordering on a depression, but the evil govt. workers still thrive & prosper. Makes me wonder…

  75. I just found this website, and thank God for those who put it together. My daughter has been in Az custody for 3 and a half years. She is now 15. I agree with all I have read on this site so far, my life is an absolute nightmare because of CPS and the Juvenille courts. Prayer has been my only defense so far, nothing esle especially logic and rationality has worked. My daughter is now convinced she will never need to see me again, and I am her enemy it is beyond depressing,
    Sincerely

  76. There is some kind of problem with CPS here in KY, First of all I don’t think they work at screening their foster homes very well. 2 years ago my daughter was taken from me do to my husband, she was put into a foster home, and now she doesn’t want to leave the foster home she wants them to adopt her just like the other 3 foster children she had, now she is saying that she is going to adopt my daughter and the other children she had fostered she tried to adopt them too. This foster home promises the children the world almost, she has promised to buy my daughter a car next month on her 16th birthday. They are constantly giving her money and anything she wants they get it for her. I think the only reason they want to adopt her too is the money that they will receive.
    I AM going to put a law suit against the CPS, the foster home, and everyone else involved.
    So I pray constantly that I can get her home but I am not a rich person and I can’t compete with the foster home.
    At least when my daughter was home, we gave her every thing she needed not just what she wanted.

  77. Linda,

    I’m so sorry for your misfortunes. I’ll be praying for you. It is sad how these people work. They are horrible. But remember, Jehovah will always expose those who are wrong. He always does. Read Ephians chapter 5 all the way up to verse fourteen. Take comfort in those words, and may Jehovah God the Almighty be with you.

  78. 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.

  79. To Reina … I am Linda Martin, owner of Fight CPS. I like your idea about a fund for people needing financial help with attorney fees, but I’m not able to manage something like that at this time. If you would like to start this project I will be happy to support it by telling people about it on this site, and giving links to information about it on the site of whatever organization manages it. All the best to you… thanks for being so much help to the people on this site.

  80. Linda, I will get on that then. I could open a separate paypal account specifically for that purpose, and I could build the webpage on the Lycos Network. I could ask people to subscribe and donate each month a certain amount that is comfortable to them. I already have the approval process in place. I’m tired, very tired of cps exploiting the poor. They ought to be very ashamed of themselves. But, I don’t think that they care. Thanks for being willing to endorse my idea. That means alot to me.

  81. Juan, I had an idea for you. Get a petition started on http://www.petitiononline.com It is free. We all here will sign it. I’ll be the first to do so. Also, go to the press. You story could get some coverage. i hope everything works out for you. You deserve these children, and they deserve you.

  84. This comment is aimed at Diando because I believe you can help me.

    I’ve lost my child but sadly, it’s not over. I believe I’m being harassed but not sure if the ones harassing me are doing enough to be prosecuted and I have no money to hire a lawyer and fight. It’s been over a year and it hasn’t stopped and I can’t move on with my life because the trauma of what happened to me which includes regular nightmares, makes it hard enough without knowing there are people out there who feel they need to keep punishing me.

    I feel like my only last hope is going to the media but I’ve tried and have been unsuccessful. And I’m so broken, I need help.

    Diando, I trust you, if you could leave an email address or a phone number I could reach you out, please do so. I’m desperate.

  94. Hello, I just located and read senator Schaefer’s Bill and I want to know if anyone out there is involved in a class action suite against Georgia, specifically Fayette Co.?
    Please know that the senator has described my nightmare in ga. as well and that you only have 12 months to sue cps civally. Also criminal charges are difficult because the state protects their actions and prohibits many from being charged.
    I want to help by testifying before the Ga. senate and or to the press.
    My story is so traumatic that I believe it will help bring the public awareness of cps crimes to the souls of everyone who sees or hears it.
    I can not sue because I did not know about the time frame so I can only stand beside anyone who needs support and or is in need of testimony that shows a pattern of cps’s criminal actions I am basically waiting to talk to anyone Thanks Susie

  95. I was first victimized by my parents at the age of 3, my sister 1. My mother didn’t want anymore kids so she had an abortion. Both of my parents were into drugs and alcohol, both smoked and drank. They slept around on eachother and my mom filed for divorce twice, once when I was 5 and once when I was 8.
    She abandoned me when I was 7. She simply took my sister in the middle of the night and left me with my dad. It was their 10th wedding anniversary.
    A few months later, my dad got involved with a woman who not only hated kids, she had her tubes tied when she was 18. I was used to being neglected, but after he decided that we were moving in with her, that’s when the real hell began. I wasn’t fed, I was verbally and emotionally abused, I was locked in my room all of the time. All I had in my room was a blanket.
    She beat me with a belt for existing in her life, for bringing home school work, for everything you can imagine. She would make stuff up so she had a good reason to beat me.
    I called my mom for help when I was 8. She actually came and got me, though it wasn’t because she wanted me or was protecting me. She wanted a free divorce and wanted to make sure that whe wouldn’t have to give up custody of my sister. She sent me back to that hell less than 2 weeks later.
    For 5 1/2 years I did all of the house work, yard work, cooking and laundry. The rest of the time I was starving because I wasn’t being fed, or locked in my room. My dad’s girlfriend became more mallicious with each passing year. She made me pick up and bad cat and dog feces with my bare hands. I had to stand in front of a mirror regularly to stare at myself and tell myself out loud that I was a liar, a cheater and a thief. I also had to write it down on paper over and over again.
    CSD, (Children’s services division,) knew what was happening to me and told me it was my fault. A police officer came out for a visit because the principal at my school filed a report with CSD and after interviewing my dad and his girlfriend, he interviewed me right in front of them. I was terrified that I would really get it if I told the officer what was really going on in my world because he might tell me that it was my fault too and leave me there. So I denied everything.
    When I was 12, My dad’s girlfriend started watching me take showers, especially cold ones and she strip searched me every day before and after school.
    When I was 13 1/2, a friend of theirs moved in with us and he felt me up. My dad said I was going to pay for it because me being violated was my fault. So I ran away.
    My mom took me in, but ofcourse she tried to convince me to go back and since I refused she let me stay with her. She didn’t care about me, but I was old enough to blow the whistle and she didn’t want me telling anyone about all of the dirty little family secrets.
    I wasn’t part of her cozy little family, (mom, sis and husband #2.) With no support or love from anyone, I started having sex with a boy I had been seeing. During spring break I got pregnant and when I refused to have an abortion, mom kicked me out again.
    After my daughter was born, she let us stay as her guests for a few weeks so I could heal from my c-section. When I wouldn’t let her take over my daughter, she kicked me out but tried to keep my daughter. Legally she couldn’t so my daughter and I became wards of the state.
    My mother was working on husband #3, who wanted kids with her, She made false allegations to CPS for nearly 2 years and eventually got what she wanted. CPS gaved her my daughter.
    She changed the locks on her door, changed her number and got a restraining order against me. After 6 months she filed for perminent custody and because I didn’t know about it, she got custody because the court decided that I was in default.
    I had a son when I was 18. We were very closely bonded and I was always told that I was a good mother.
    When I was living in Lansing Michigan, he was mosested by a friend of mine’s boyfriend. As soon as I found out I filed a report. Here’s where CPS victimized me again.
    The man who molested my son never was charged, and CPS used the crime to take my son from me. I had 2 younger sons with severe disabilities that I had no choice but to adopt them out.
    They used all of this and the fact that my mother had custody of my daughter as a, “good cause,” to rip my son out of my arms. He was taken on his 4th birthday.
    My now ex-friend’s boyfriend threatened to kill me and almost threw me over the railing of an overpass. Several more threats came over the months and no one would do anything about it.
    I could only see my son on Thursdays. Since I was being followed I had to stop visitation and move out of state.
    CPS tried to get me to sign away my rights and I refused. My attorney wouldn’t defend me and made me plead guilty of all 10 allegations. I felt so sick I almost threw up in the court room. None of the allegations were true.
    I’m still haunted by my last memory of my son, age 4 1/2, turning away from me after saying good bye. I have been grieving ever since. I know I may never see him again, He may not remember me, He may hate me. Will somebody please tell me if there is any way to get my son back? I haven’t seen him in 10 years.
    Please, anyone, I emplore you to help me. Email me at lindbloom_jm@yahoo.com or write to me at PO Box 44162 Tacoma WA 98448-0162.

  96. JoLisa,

    Your story brings tears to my eyes. I so feel for you and all that you have beenthrough. Here so many of us on this site have been wronged when CPS removed our children from loving and caring homes. You should have been removeed from your home but they dropped the ball. So much of that happens so frequently. It breaks my heart. I’ll pray for you. I’ll pray that it’s not too late for you and your son. Don’t give up hope. If nothing else when he is an adult maybe you can make him understand and have a relationship with him then.

    Comment by Jodie — June 20, 2008 @ 3:16 pm



  97. First, I would like to say that what I write is my own personal opinion, and I feel that it should be heard. I am a mother, and there are instances in which I feel that CPS (or SRS or DCF, etc) is wrong in taking a child. However, I also feel that they are correct in most cases.

    Now, before everyone here jumps on me, I have been involved with them when I was a teenager. My experience was not really bad, nor was it good. It was the state writing me off as a 16 year old and telling me to support myself, because they were not going to waste their money on a kid that old.

    I had written something on the message board, however no one has responded, so I will put a shorter version here.

    We (my husband, son and I) live in an apartment complex and there was a single mother with two sons, one of which was in my son’s class. I attempted to have my son befriend her sons, but my boy wanted nothing to do with them. Over the summer, the mother, who I will call “X”, called my house and asked if I could watch her kids while she went to church.
    I reluctantly agreed, and the boys came over. They proceeded to completely trash my son’s room and his toys. So I brought my son and the boys outside to play. The oldest, who was 7, began to get really agressive with my son, and the younger one was not listening at all. So I called X’s cell phone. Voice mail. I texted her, no answer. From 10:30 am to 1 pm, I tried to call her, over and over, and text message her. My husband tried to talk to the boys, but they didn’t listen to him either. Finally at 1:30 she shows up with a guy. I explained to her what her kids did, and she just yelled at them for a second, and then gave them treats.

    When school began, we noticed that the kids were absent a lot. Now, in this day in age, we don’t trust people, because they could be pedophiles, etc. So everyday, we walk our son into school to his class (which every parent in the class did). We always said good morning to his teachers, etc.
    It was about the third week of September, and X’s kids were not at school for 3 days. So after bringing my son to class, I went to X’s apartment and knocked on the door. Her youngest son answered. The apartment was in shambles, as the boys were throwing food around, etc. X was sitting on the couch watching TV. I offered to bring her kids to school if she had a problem waking up, but she refused.
    This behavior continued to happen, and I offered time and time again to bring the kids to school with us, but she refused.
    In October, my husband called me from his mother’s house about something on the news. So I turned it on, and there was a story about a 7 year old who was by himself, wearing a cape, running back and forth in traffic, and had gotten hit by a truck.
    I knew that it was X’s oldest, because she had said that he had done that before.
    Finally DCF stepped in and took the boys.

    Fast forward to April. I received a voicemail from X that said that she wanted me to go to court for her, and she would pay me $20 to lie and say that I was with her that day when she dropped her kids off at school. Hell no! I refused.

    May: X calls me at 8:45am. She needs to get to court by 9am and her friend flaked on her. I tell her, I need gas money, because I don’t get paid until later that day. So she offers to give me some gas money.
    We go to her apartment, and stand there for ten minutes. We tell her she needs to go, and as we turn to go down the stairs, I see her crushing up a pill and snorting it.

    She had these boys taken from her twice before for the same thing, and the fact that she is snorting pills.

    As far as I know, she doesn’t have the kids back, because I refuse to lie to the court.

    So, this is just something to think about.

    Comment by Starryskye — June 21, 2008 @ 6:33 am



  98. It’s JoLisa again. Jodie, I thank you for your prayers. I may be more greatful than some because I myself am a christian, and I belong to what we like to call, “a praying church.” When we say that we are praying for you, we genuinely mean it.

    Our congregation is small and we are poor, but we give away what we have. We have community outreach services 7 days a week and we turn no one away. Most of us were clients at one time, later became volunteers and serve with a humble heart.

    I don’t know where most of the correspondence comes from on here, but I sincerely hope that those of faith have found a family within a church that is genuine. Because prayer changes things. I have many miracles to testify to, but to tell them all I would have to write a book!

    As for what Starryskye mentioned, I do agree that ALL children need to be protected and safe. I also believe that MOST allegations of abuse/neglect/abandonment are UNTRUE!

    I know this to be true personally because my life from birth to now, absolutely reeks of it.

    Now I would like to explain to those who are uneducated about the statistics of allegations vs. validity, for those who have had only a few encounters with the government.

    Aproxamately 78% have no truth what so ever!

    Aproxamately 62% of social workers have one OR more of the following impairments in doing their job:

    1. No children of their own.

    2. No education about child/parent bond.

    3. No experience or training in child psychology.

    4. Do not or can not tell the difference between behavior problems and child learning disorders, like, (ADHD, Pervasive Development Disorder, Autism, Bipolar 1 & 2 Disorders, Parinoid Schitzophrenia, Personality Disorders, ect…) Personality Disorder is a vague diagnosis and has nothing to do with split personality.

    5. Have no legitamate licensing, endorsements or college degrees specializing in anything to do with children.

    6. Are only there for the paycheck.

    7. Care more about their reputation in the field of child welfare than they do about if the allegations are ligitimate.

    8. Have to high a work load to check on every allegation.

    If you still are not convinced, Starryskye, and the other skeptics, then considder this:

    1. Most reports are anonymous.

    2. Most of the reports that are given by friends or family members are not because the children are in danger, rather, has to do with lashing out in anger or in an attempt to control a situation that they want to control.

    3. Reports are often a way to get even with the parents. They are also hurting the children wheater or not they intend to.

    4. If you challenge a physician or specialist, either requesting a second opinion or threatening to report them or sue them for malpractice, the physician will do anything they can to cover their own butts!

    Please tell those of us who are innocent victims and our victimized children where the justice is in that?

    If their is real validity in the allegation then something needs to be done.

    However, be prepared for the person you reported to report you to get even. I wouldn’t be surprized at all if at least 20% of reports made to CPS are in retaliation to a report made on them.

    CPS has been grossly abused by both the government and by the citizens of this country.

    I don’t appreciate being attacked like that by someone who knows nothing.

    Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — June 21, 2008 @ 1:42 pm



  99. FOR THOSE OF YOU VISITING THIS SITE THAT THINK FOSTER HOMES ARE GREAT PLACES FOR KIDS TO LIVE, YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN!

    I WAS BOUNCED A FEW TIMES AND EACH FOSTER HOME WAS OVERPOPULATED, FILTHY AND THE ONLY KIDS THE FOSTER PARENTS CARED ABOUT WERE THEIR OWN.

    WHEN MY SON WAS RIPPED AWAY FROM THE ONLY LOVE AND STABILITY HE HAD EVER KNOWN, IT DID MORE THAN TRAUMATIZE HIM.

    HE WAS HAPPY, HEALTHY, LOVED, HAD HIGH SELF ESTEEM, AND WAS PRAISED, NUTURED AND ENCOURAGED TO LEARN AND GROW. HE WAS CLEAN, WELL MANNERED AND CONSIDDERATE OF OTHERS. HE WAS THRIVING.

    SO HERE’S A NEWS FLASH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CHILDREN LIKE THIS ARE STOLEN FROM THEIR PARENTS BY AN ORGANIZATION THAT CLAIMS TO BE DOING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY REALLY DO: SEEK AND DESTROY.

    JOSEPH WAS BROKEN SPIRIT WITHIN A HALLOW SHELL WHEN HE WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME. HE WAS MY BABY. HE WAS MY LIFE. I WAS ALL HE HAD EVER KNOWN.

    HE HAD NO MORE FREEDOM TO LAUGH AND PLAY, LIKE CHILDREN DESERVE.

    HE SPENT ALL OF HIS TIME IN BED AT THE FOSTER HOME. HE WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS A BAD BOY. HE WAS TOLD TO SHUT UP, THAT HE WAS ANNOYING AND THAT HE WAS STUPID. THEY HIT HIM AND TOLD HIM HE WAS AN INCONVENIENCE AND THAT HE WAS LUCKY THAT THEY TOOK HIM IN, THAT THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO.

    HE WAS THE ONLY FOSTER CHILD IN THAT HOUSE, AND NONE OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS WERE CHRISTIAN OR CAUCASION. JOSEPH IS BOTH.

    DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FRIEGHTENING THAT CAN BE TO A CHILD?

    I WAS FORCED TO WATCH THEM TO TEAR MY SON APART. WHEN I VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT THE WAY HE WAS TREATED, THE SOCIAL WORKER SAID, “WELL MAYBE THAT IS THE WAY THAT THEY WERE RAISED.”

    UM…BACK UP A MINUTE!

    PARENTS WHO LOVE THEIR KIDS AND GIVE THEM ENDLESS LOVE AND ATTENTION, LOSE THEIR CHILDREN SO THAT CPS CAN PLACE THE INNOCENT LITTLE VICTIMS IN AN ENVIORNMENT LIKE THAT?

    WHAT THE FFFFFFFFF!

    WHEN I REQUESTED THAT MY SON BE MOVED, I WAS DENIED. WHEN I SAID I NEEDED PROTECTION FROM THE PERP THAT MOLESTED MY SON, I WAS IGNORED. WHEN I ASKED WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET MY SON BACK, THE SOCIAL WORKER TOLD ME THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TO DO A THING BECAUSE I WASN’T GETTING HIM BACK.

    JOSEPH BEGGED ME TO HIDE HIM AND SNEAK HIM OUT OF THE BUILDING EVERY THURSDAY WHEN VISITATION WAS ENDING. THEY WOULDN’T LET HIM HAVE HIS BLANKET AND BEAR THAT HE HAD SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN.

    JOSEPH TOLD ME THAT HE COULDN’T BE A GOOD BOY BECAUSE THEY SAID HE WAS BAD.

    JOSEPH SHUT DOWN AND I COULDN’T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT.

    I HAD AN ATTORNEY THAT REFUSED TO HELP ME AND EVEN ADVISED ME THAT IF I DIDN’T ADMIT TO ALL OF THE ALLEGATIONS THAT CPS WAS ACCUSING ME OF, THAT CPS WOULD MAKE MY SON TESTIFY THAT EVERY LAST ONE OF THE ALLEGATIONS WERE TRUE.

    WELL…IF THEY TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS BAD AND HE BELIEVED IT…WHO’S TO SAY THAT HE WASN’T TOLD THAT IF HE SAID WHAT THEY WANTED HIM TO, THEY WOULD LET HIM GO HOME WITH MOMMY?…

    MY SON, JOSEPH AARON-LEE SHAVER, BORN ON APRIL 17,1994 @10:48AM WAS MY LIFE.

    FOR EVERY PARENT OR CHILD WHO HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY CPS KNOWS THIS TO BE TRUE ABOUT THEMSELVES.

    I LAST SAW HIM IN LANSING MICHIGAN, IN OCTOBER OF 1998.

    CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES/SAINT VINCENT HOME FOR CHILDREN HAD MY CASE AND SUPERVISED MY VISITATION WITH MY SON.

    THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE ME TO SIGN AWAY MY RIGHTS BEFORE I LEFT MICHIGAN TO STAY ALIVE AND I WOULDN’T BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    I FOUND OUT A MONTH AGO THAT CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES/SAINT VINCENT HOME FOR CHILDREN IS AN ADOPTION AGENCY!!!!

    I’M SORRY FOR ALL THE VICTIMS AND RELIVED THAT I’M NOT CRAZY, THAT IT WASN’T JUST ME.

    ASK MY HUSBAND OR MY SON COLLIER OR ANY PERSON IN MY LIFE ABOUT WHAT KIND OF WIFE AND MOTHER I AM…

    YOU WON’T HEAR EVEN ONE OF THEM SAY ANYTHING BAD

  100. I don’t think foster parents are invesitgated enough regarding the motives for fostering in the first place. Some homes are hell holes like the place JoLisa’s son was in. Personally I have known two couples from my church who couldn’t have biological children and turned to foster parenting as a way to get kids to adopt. They admitted this (though not to CPS I’m sure). It took some time but eventually each couple adopted a baby or very young child whose mother’s parental rights had been terminated. After that they quit fostering. Strange coincidence.

  101. Thanks for all the statistics, JoLisa. I have posted previously on this website that all it takes is one anonymous phone call to destroy a family. My social worker had no children, nor did she have a degree in social work! She had been a high school geography teacher who lost her job due to budget cuts. How did that qualify her to judge whether children were abused?

    Even after it’s all over, your life is never the same again. Your reputation, integrity, and good name are destroyed.

  102. Child “Protective” Services People fit the Profile of a Sociopath
    Adapted from Exit & Support Network’s “Profile of a Sociopath” regarding religious cult leaders and used here on condition of linking back to their content.

    Countless CPS people display many of the behavioral characteristics of a sociopath. They believe they are superior, and they are not widely recognized as deviant or disturbed. Only a trained professional can make a diagnosis. Unfortunately the “trained professionals” are working in COLLUSION with them for the Federal Funding Streams. It is important to be able to recognize the personality type in order to expose them for what they really are.
    Glibness/Superficial CharmLanguage can be used without effort by them to confuse and convince their audience. Captivating storytellers that exude self-confidence, they can spin a web that intrigues others. Since they are persuasive, they have the capacity to destroy their critics verbally or emotionally.Manipulative and ConningThey never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors permissible. They may appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They dominate and humiliate their victims.Grandiose Sense of SelfFeels entitled to certain things as “their right.” Craves adulation and attendance. Must be the center of attention with their own fantasies as the “spokesman for God,” “enlightened,” “leader of humankind,” etc. Creates an us-versus-them mentalityPathological LyingHas no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.Lack of Remorse, Shame or GuiltA deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at thier core. Does not see others around her as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.Shallow EmotionsWhen they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.Incapacity for LoveWhile they talks about “love” they is unable to give or receive it. Very harsh in testing it from their clients and expects them to feel guilt for their failings. Expects unconditional surrender. Need for StimulationLiving on the edge, yet testing the gullibility of their “clientele” with bizarre rules, punishments and behaviors. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal.Callousness/Lack of EmpathyUnable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Their skills are used to exploit, abuse and exert power. Since the clientele cannot believe their government would callously hurt them, they rationalize her behavior as necessary for their own “good” and ignore the abuse. When the client become aware of the exploitation it feels like a “rape” to them.Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive NatureRage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believes they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. They see themselves as near perfect.Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile DelinquencyUsually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.Irresponsibility/UnreliabilityNot concerning about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blame their clients or others of their family. Blame reinforces passivity and obedience and produces guilt, shame, terror and conformity in the clients.Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/InfidelityThey may frequently practice promiscuity, homosexuality, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. This is usually kept hidden from all but the inner circle. Stringent sexual control of their clients, such as forced breakups and divorces, removal of children from parents, rules for dating, etc. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic LifestyleTends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future. Great contrast between the government employee’s lifestyle and the client’s impoverishment. Highly sensitive to their own pain and health.Criminal or Entrepreneurial VersatilityChanges their image and that of the agency as needed to avoid prosecution and to increase income and to recruit a range of supporters. Is able to adapt or relocate as needed to preserve the agency. Always “on vacation” or “retired” after pulling off a “high risk” caper with too much public attention. Can resurface later in a different agency and a new twist on the same old scam.Other Related Qualities:1. Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them2. Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them3. Authoritarian4. Secretive5. Paranoid6. Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired7. Conventional appearance8. Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)9. Exercises despotic control over every aspect of their victim’s life10. Has a psychological need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their agency’s affirmation11. Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim12. Incapable of real human attachment to another13. Unable to feel remorse or guilt14. Extreme narcissism and grandiose15. May state readily that their goal is to rule the worldThe above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare. In the 1830’s this disorder was called “moral insanity.” By 1900 it was changed to “psychopathic personality.” More recently it has been termed “antisocial personality disorder.” Order: Without Conscience: The disturbing world of the psychopaths among us by Robert D. Hare.

  103. It is assumed that I have no idea about what the system can do. However I can. I have seen a mother lose her two sons on Christmas Eve. There was a vaild reason behind it though. Turns out the “perfect man” she had found was a registered child molester.
    Another woman who I worked with lost her son and he was adopted out to a great home. The reason that she lost her son? She had four kids before him and allowed her boyfriend to hurt them in various ways (I only found that out when she asked if I could read her court papers and offer advice). About 4 years ago, I ran into her and she had yet another kid. I don’t know if she still has him or not.

    CPS was put into place to protect children. There are some that they have failed to protect, and there are some that they have removed. I think that the blame is not all on them though. It is also the judges who make the choice to send the kids back to the abusive enviroment they came from. I think that the caseworkers have too large of a caseload, and not enough hours in a day. Granted, there probably are a few caseworkers out there that are not in it for the right reasons, however, I believe that for the most part, they truely are concerned for children’s welfare.
    I’m sorry that some of you have had horrible experiences with them, however, some of the cases that I have read on the message boards are so stupid, I agree that the children should have been taken.

    For example, one mentioned that she and her husband used cocaine “once in a while”. Addiction can be cured, and I am all for rehabbing parents so they can lead happy, sober lives. But come on now! It’s against the law, anyone with any common sense would realize that if you show it in your system, you PROBABLY will get in trouble (internal possession laws).
    In fact, cocaine can cause all sorts of mental issues with use that can lead to abuse, etc.

    I guess that my point is, if you use drugs but have made the effort to get clean (rehab, NA-which is free, etc) you should have support from the system to maintain soberity. However, if you use and don’t get help, then I think that the children should go to someone who can love them and care for them. Because someone who puts drugs before their kids does not love them.

  104. Oklahoma CPS Secret State Police (Gestapo) Agents Cindy Bryson and Chris Barone (Area 55H, Rockwell Branch) came to my home one time, and I do mean ONLY one time.

    The date was September 10, 2007. The time was 11:45 A.M. I had taken an early lunch break from work. There was a knock at my door, and there stood Barone and his Supervisor Bryson.

    Barone said that they would like to “talk to me about my Son and asked if they could come in?” I asked, “what exactly do you want to talk about concerning my Son?” Barone asked again if they could come in. I replied, “yes, you may come in, but you will have to give me a minute first because I need to go get a neighbor.” Barone asked me, “why do you need to go get your neighbor?” I said, “because I have had dealings with DHS before, and I am not letting you into my home without a witness.” At this point, Bryson remarked, “this is all CONFIDENTIAL.” I replied, “that’s fine, but I will have a witness.”

    Then Barone handed me an envelope. It contained a “CONTACT LETTER” dated three days earlier (9/7/07). Barone informed me that I “needed to come down to his office for an “INTERVIEW.” I informed the two SS Agents that I would be more than happy to come down to their office, but that I was bringing a witness with me. Then they simply turned around and walked away.

    I then sat down and wrote a letter to Howard Hendrick, Director, Oklahoma Department of Human Services concerning the contact with two of his agents. He never replied/responded.

    On October 03, 2007, I received a “NOTIFICATION CONCERNING FINDING(S) OF CHILD ABUSE/NEGLECT” from Agents Barone and Bryson informing me that they had determined (confirmed), based on their investigation, that my Son had been abused and classified the abuse as “other,” meaning they did not have any factual evidence/information to support their determination.

    On the same date, October 03, 2007 (coincidence?), I received a letter from Jeri Poplin, County Director, DHS Human Service Center (the same office Bryson and Barone work out of). She said, “I am responding to the multiple letters that you have sent to me as well as the letters you have sent to the Director of OKDHS, Howard Hendrick.” The bottom line of her letter was that I should contact my attorney (which I did not have).

    Conclusion: In a matter of less than 30 days, CPS had conducted an investigation based on an allegation of abuse by my Son’s birth mother, Rebecca Mitchell (custodial parent, alienator, and a client/dependent of OKDHS since 2001).

    I was NEVER interviewed.

    Yet, based on the information that she provided them, along with her three children from her previous marriage, whom I have not had any sort of a relationship with since September of 2000, these Agents were somehow able to determine from THAT information that I had abused my 6 year old Son.

    Be forewarned parents…it is against the law (unwritten, and subject to OKDHS “interpretation” — a conception of another’s behavior) to teach your child how to swim in Oklahoma.

    That was the basis of the “alleged” abuse as reported by the Custodial Parent/Alienator.

    Hiel Hendrick!

    NOTE (added June 22, 2008, 8:10 A.M.): BTW, there’s no “DUE PROCESS” within OKDHS. Appeals are only a “paper review” of whatever documentation is contained in the DHS/CPS file (according to Cynthia Carroll, MSW, Program Fields Representative, CFSD, Appeals Section). Even the Gestapo conducted personal interviews, so this would make OKDHS even more vile than the Nazi Secret Service.

    Absolutely Unconscionable!!!

  105. I totally agree that druggies should NOT have children because it is a vicious disease that hurts everyone close to the addict. However, CPS agents should also be randomly tested because there seems to be major drug issues in that profession as well. In my case my husband who is a recovering alcoholic (he tested CLEAN for the hundreds of random UAs that DHS made him take) was under scrutiny while the feminazis who have our kids drink EVERY DAY, but it’s OK for them cuz they are lesbians who can do NO WRONG, yet DHS believes all the lies they say about us & they continue to alienate our children from us by not letting us see our kids. Truthfully, right now, I would rather have the sh*t beat out of me every day than have to live with an authoritive control freak like my mother lives with!

  106. Hello again, ladies and gentlemen.

    Aparently, we can not seem to get Starryskye to see things for what they really are. Maybe she needs to pull her head out of her A$$!

    I would like to point out that none of us on here, (As far as I know,) are full of ourselves or are so self-confident that we assume that only our opinions and or feelings matter, and that those opinions and or feelings are facts on black and white.

    Or am I mistaken???

    People like Starryskye, (In my experience,) could possibly be discribed as, what did Susan call it, ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER?

    Why do people like these insist on being PSYCHIC VAMPIRES?

    PSYCHIC VAMPIRES ARE NARSISSISTIC PEOPLE!

    Individuals like these are abusive, and they enjoy making you feel like you are crazy. It makes them feel confident and all knowing. They argue with you and force their opinions on you.

    Unfortunately, there are millions of them right here in the United States.

    So, ladies and gentlemen, let me take a moment to validate us all!

    WE ARE NOT CRAZY! WE DON’T GET CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT IS FACT AND WHAT IS FICTION.

    MS. STARRYSKYE, YOU CAN QUIT CRAPPING ON US ANY TIME!!

    MOST OF US HERE HAVE BEEN DONE WRONG ON THIS WEB SITE BY CPS! MOST OF US AND OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALLY SODDEMIZED BY THIS DISCUSTINGLY CORRUPT ORGANIZATION WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES!

    SO, MS. STARRYSKYE, WHY DON’T YOU GET OFF YOUR SELF-RIGHTEOUS PEDISTOOL AND STOP ANTAGONIZING THOSE OF US WHO ARE GRIEVING OVER THE INJUSTICE THAT WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE FORCED UPON US AND OUR INNOCENT BABIES.

    The Bible warns us that we will be falsely persecuted in the last days. If you don’t know where to find THIS fact, I’ll give you a little hint; try reading Luke 21:33.

    For the rest of us, it IS a painful reality that only the Anti-Christ could orchistrate…

  109. I guess that no one here knows how to read. I said that I have witnessed first hand what can happen to families, and even put in what happened to me when I was a teenager.

    What happened to respectfully listening to someone’s opinion and then RESPECTFULLY disagreeing?

    I have one more story that you may find interesting.

    When my son was about 18 months old, I put him into a daycare center. It was pretty small, but was licenced, had proper insurance, etc. (I may be under thirty, but I know what to look for). I called the state hotline to see if there were any complaints about the day care. There were none. So I began sending my son there. About 5 months later I get a call from CPS saying they need to meet with me. Now.
    So I call my (so to be) husband and we go down to where they want to see us, with my husband’s mother.
    My son is there, and he has a bruise from his ear to his mouth, and little bruises around his neck.
    We were interrogated for hours, and they threatened me with a lie dectector, to which I said, go ahead.
    Because they were still investigating, they let my soon to be mother in law take our son home for the night.
    The next day, they ask us to bring our son to the hospital for x-rays.
    When they look at the x-rays, they tell us that we can have our son back.
    As for the daycare, they were shut down. No charges were ever brought against them, but at least they were shut down.
    So while that was extremely trying for us, we understand that they were DOING their JOB.
    The CPS person was fairly nice, and we saw her at the grocery store a few times. It was the police that interrogated us that were kind of mean. However, again, they were doing their jobs.
    Now, my husband and I make sure that we work opposite shifts so we don’t have to rely on daycare or babysitters.
    We have a wonderful doctor who listens to our concerns.
    That was my only experience with CPS with my son, and he is 8 now.

    Also, I never reported anyone. The kid that I wrote about who got hit by a truck, was taken when medical personel could not locate the mother. And her kids had been taken several times before.

    I am sticking to my opinion that in some cases, CPS is wrong, but in the majority they usually have a reason.

    Comment by Starryskye — June 23, 2008 @ 3:24 am



  110. Also, I am a bit concerned about people who claim religion. In fact, there was an individual on this board in January who claimed to be religious. I tracked down a website about him, and he was starving his kids, forced them to live in filth, and bathed all five of them in the same water.
    Religion is fine, if it helps you focus on good, however in my experiences, people who quote from the Bible are often the ones that need the most help.
    I don’t push my views on anyone, but I am up to a good political debate.

    Comment by Starryskye — June 23, 2008 @ 3:28 am



  111. Wish we had a candidate running who is not corrupt & in it for the $money$. Too bad Ron Paul dropped out. I’d vote for him! About the Bible, I’ve read Revelations many times, & from what I see, a lot of it is beginning to come true. Scarey!

    Comment by Susan — June 23, 2008 @ 6:49 am



  112. My husband & I also work opposite shifts before & after they snatched our kids & my son was about to go into Headstart, but that wasn’t good enough for the corrupt CPS here. We are TRUE VICTIMS of a witch hunt.

  113. I am, by no means, a bible thumper, etc. I believe in my interpretation of the Bible, as it is for everyones interpretation.The Bible is what helped me keep my sanity, and is why I am alive today. A few years ago, I had DHS knock on my door. Ten months of hell, I tried to “cooperate” with DHS. My oldest daughter was raped twice during this time and DHS turned their head. I, constantly kept them updated and begged for them to do something, because I was cooperating with their supervised visitation only plan. They coerced me into “cooperating”, because “If I didn’t give my full cooperation, they would go to a foster home.” This all stemmed from a false allegation from an anonymous reporter of something that I was supposed to have done five years prior that had nothing to do with my children. Here’s my situation… I’m a single father who has been raising my two girls for over ten years, since they were 4 & 5. I didn’t realize it then, but I was an easy target. Many nights, I went to bed with a noose around my neck, reading the Bible, not understanding how or why this could be happening. How could DHS be so blind? Why don’t they listen to me and see the damage that they are doing to my children? I hired the attorney (waste of money). So, I started researching the law and DHS policies. I became infuriated with what I learned. Ten months into it, they had me up on criminal felony charges. They offered me plea bargain after plea bargain. They kept postponing my court date until the day before my trial by jury. The state dismissed my case. The next day I called the DHS superviser and told of this and he said that until I cooperate with their recommendations, I will not get my children back. I filed the grievances, which are a waste of time. He said that there is no other recourse, that he knows of. I stewed on this for a couple of weeks. I was finished with playing the puppet. I brought my children back home and haven’t heard from DHS since. This was almost three years ago. I know their games. I played their games. I won in the end, but my family lost something that can never be corrected. The damage has an everlasting effect.

    Comment by daaronad — June 23, 2008 @ 8:37 pm



  115. Starryskye, I realize that my words are only words, and you can dispute anything that I have to say. At the age of 18, I joined the Army. I left the Army at the age of 28, as an E-6/SSG, because I was tired of my wife cheating on me and I, sincerely, doubted that a judge would give me custody of my children an active duty soldier. I don’t regret giving up that career, even though I was half way to retirement. I made that decision for me and my children. I was awarded custody after my divorce. I continued working for the Army in the civil sector, and still am today. I am against drug use and preach against it to my children on a regular basis. But, for you to say that a person who does drugs puts that ahead of their love for their children, I disagree. Mind you, I am very vocal when it comes to drug use, and I am very much against it, but, to take a child from a person who uses drugs, for that reason only, and give that child to someone who pretends to want to care for the child, because they get paid for it, is a farce. I’ve talked to and listened to a lot of foster parents and adopters since I learned why this problem exists. The child will learn more about love within their own home whether it is a good home or bad home. They learn how to deal with reality. From what I’ve researched, online and talking to real foster parents and adopters and prospectives, they are mostly in it for the money, or money that they believe that they will get, or for their own personal ego. The damage that it has on the child, to be taken away from their parents, is not replacible. Now, DHS is supposed to be an advocate for FAMILIES. However, they focus on children, and forget about the family. Is it better to take a child from an undesirable home life, and have their parent commit suicide due to the stress of losing their child? Yes, you can fault the parent for not being strong enough, but get real. Suicide is almost tenfold with parents who have had their children taken by DHS. I was almost one of them. I agree that something must be done when children are abused or neglected. But, it should not strip the child or the parent of their rights, and it should not be motivated by money. DHS is NOT focused on the family or children, it is simply a ruse. Ok, you’ve had your experience with DHS. Please, do not attempt to distract the intent of this site. It is not to allow the criminals to get away. It is to help us to protect ourselves from the criminals that do get away with abusing our children and our families rights.

  116. To Dennis, I also have my letter from Cynthia Carroll. Appeals, what a croc. What kind of appeal process only allows the original report from the social worker to be reviewed? No video or audio will be accepted. Basically, they tell you to write your appeal on a piece of toilet paper and flush it yourself.

    Comment by daaronad — June 23, 2008 @ 9:43 pm



  117. Daaronad is right on. DHS is all about $money$. Funding to rip families apart. This is done by unlicensed sociopathic social workers & their paid goons, such as their paid quack psychologists and ’specialists’. It is big industry right now, & it needs to be obliterated. I know of 3 people offhand who committed suicide thanks to CPS. I’ve also thought of it, but something keeps stopping me. Maybe the belief that someday things will get better.

  118. Susan is right! It’s all about the money.. They are not educated to make the decisions that they make. .

    They purposely destroy families and childrens lives…

    I was told by a caseworker that she “NEEDED MY WHITE BABY” what does that tell you?

    That’s when I started doing my own research and found all the corruption….

  119. Starryskye

    I now understand why nobody responded to your comments until a few days ago.

    Not are you only narrow-minded in your opinions, you lack empathy and education.

    Even when the statistics are in your face, you refuse to see outside your own box.

    These statistics are multiplying every day. Our children get the worst of it, and though they are thought to be resilliant, they never recover.

    The fact is simply this; when you take a child away from what is familiar, they no longer feel stable. Even if their enviornment is “better,” the damage is done.

    You can have your opinions. WE DON’T GIVE A RAT”S A$$!

    What is our problem with you? It’s not your personal experience with CPS, you may think the world of them, that is your opinion.

    Our problem with you is that you tear apart and discredit what really has happened to us and will never stop happening to us as long as there are people who think the way you do.

    AND FOR YOU TO INSULT OUR FAITH IN GOD, CONFIRMS THAT YOU DON’T BELONG HERE!!!!

    You are NOT part of the solution. You ARE part of the problem.

    Now that you have personally attacked us, I’m not concerned about your feelings because YOU HAVE NONE!!!!

    Would you like it if that happened to your kids? Would you like it if your children were one of those statistics?

    Do us a favor and stay off of this web site. We are not here to tell anyone that they diserve to be victimized by CPS. We are here to educate, support, empathize, help eachother and work together to attempt to solve a serious problem that is bigger than all of us.

    I’m sure that you wouldn’t be singing the same tune if you were one of the millions of victims.

    You have no right to attack us like that and you obviously don’t know the difference between religion and faith. The Devil thrives on religion!

    Even the Demons know there is only one God and they tremble with fear upon hearing his name!

    I’VE HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU! I THINK WE ALL HAVE.

    Why don’t you take your ignorant, uneducated self and see that the facts overweigh your opinions by a hundred fold, and either put up or shut up.

    WHERE ARE YOUR FACTS, YOUR STATISTICS TO BACK IT UP?

    YOU ARE AN ISOLATED CASE! WHOOPEEEEEE! I’M HAPPY FOR YOU.

    BUT YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ANY OF US ATTACK YOU AS A PARENT.

    YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ANY OF US TELL YOU THAT IT WAS YOUR FAULT THAT THE DAYCARE YOU CHOSE FOR YOUR SON WAS A GOOD REASON TO TAKE HIM FROM YOU.

    WE ARE TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO US.

    WE ARE TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN MOST CASES.

    WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR ISOLATED CASE.

    YOU SEEM TO HEAR ONLY WHAT YOU WAN’T TO. YOU PICK APART WHAT YOU WANT TO INTERPRET AS TRUTH.

    YOU HAVE A ONE TRACK MIND.

    YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF EMPATHY.

    YOU DON’T SEE THINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

    WE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO DISCREDIT YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.

    WE NEVER SAID THAT YOU WEREN’T BEING TRUTHFUL.

    WE NEVER TOLD YOU ANYTHING THAT CAN’T BE PROVEN AS FACT.

    I DIDN’T JOIN THE PTA AT MY SON’S SCHOOL BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS GOSSIP ABOUT THE KIDS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS AND TALK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE LESS THAN SUPERIOR.

    THE PTA MEMBERS THINK THAT THEIR FAMILIES ARE BETTER, THEIR KIDS ARE BETTER AND THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE PERFECT.

    THEY AREN’T CAPABLE OF SEEING PAST THEIR OWN NOSES BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW ANYTHING OUTSIDE THEIR OWN SUPERIOR BOXES.

    I just wanted to say that I know you were victimized by CPS

    Starryskye doesn’t seem to be capable of understanding that this is reality.

    I think that she’s either a social worker who feels better by telling us that we are not being victimized, or she is one of the foster parents making money off of our tragedies.

    Who knows, Maybe she’s a feminazi!

    She reminds me of my father’s girlfriend! She won’t stop until she has you convinced that her isolated experiences, (if there’s any truth to her stories,) prove that CPS is right most of the time.

    I knew a girl who was a young mother, very naive from living a sheltered life growing up. Her baby was 9 months old and she was raising her boyfriend’s kid from another relationship.

    The birth mother didn’t have custody because she was homeless. Her boyfriend was a felon so they had to rent an apartment that was below building code standards.

    CPS used that as a reason to take the kids and place them in foster homes. They weren’t placed together.

    The foster mom was a lesbian who wanted a baby, but didn’t wan’t to get pregnant so she fostered only for babies.

    When the girl decided to let her boyfriend’s mom adopt her baby, the foster mother said that she wasn’t giving HER baby to anyone!

    But she was wrong! The grandma adopted the baby and the other child was kept by CPS until the boyfriend was brought up on charges.

    You won’t believe what they used to get him on criminal neglect.

    CPS said that he was unfit because HE WORKED TOO MANY HOURS and that the child was not properly supervised! They also made a lot of bogus allegations about the condition of the child when placed in foster care.

    Among many witnesses, there were supposedly a black eye, a split lip and broken ribs!

    Then why wasn’t the child rushed to the hospital for medical treatment? Why wasn’t the parents charged with assault on a child and why was there no pictures or any proff what so ever that the allegations were valid?

    Where were the many witnesses?

    But then again, Starryskye knows everything about a system who makes money at the expence of her’s and her man’s hard earned tax dollars. Their tax dollars are paying for everything and they endorse it.

    Horraaaaaaaaay for gullible idiots!

  121. This comment is for EVERY victim; children AND their families. Families who were restored and families who lost the fight.

    WE NEED TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND A LOOP-HOLE IN THE LAW THAT CAN FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO OPEN EVERY CASE FILE THAT WAS CLOSED WHEN THE PARENT’S RIGHTS WERE TERMINATED. I AM SPECIFICALLY INTERESTED IN THE CASES WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE STILL UNDER THE AGE OF 18.

    These children would either still be waiting adoptee’s have already been adopted.

    The records would have to show who adopted them, (foster parents, child collectors, ect…)

    EVERY ONE OF THESE CHILDREN WOULD HAVE TO BE INTERVIEWED FOR AN UPDATE ON ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED FROM THE MOMENT THEY WENT INTO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.

    Would that open a door for these victims and their families to finally be reunited?

    One can only hope.

  122. I was browsing over various websites that give publicity to the growing dangers of children in protective custody
    JoLisa was right on the nose with the stats on the lack of education and experience.
    I also discovered that there is over 3,000,000 reports to the government of alleged child abuse, neglect and so on. 2,000,000 of them are unfounded.
    That is 66 out of every 100 reports. My wife was telling me a few years back that over 60% of children in foster care are only there based on lies.
    That is 60% of the tax dollars that are being used to pay for fraud! When are we going to stand united and make our government be what it was founded for? For the people, by the people, remember that saying, we the people?
    Yet we stand devided because we choose to be, “Dumb Sheep.” Sheep are stupid! Even Jesus himself said so.
    So if you are in support of the government robbing your hard earned paychecks, possessions and abusing and sucking the life out of your children, I would be happy to do this for you and get paid to rake your life and reputation over the coals.
    Are you paying attention, STARRYSKYE?
    Were you born stupid, or did you have to work at it?
    Did your mother have any children that lived?
    How many times were you dropped on your head as an infant?
    How many times did you abuse someone’s kids and didn’t get caught?
    It sounds like justice wasn’t served because you still have your kids and you are raising them to be sociopathic.
    SHAME ON YOU FOR GETTING YOUR FEELINGS OF SUPERIORITY FROM OTHER PEOPLES LOSSES. AND HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THEIR FAITH AND CHARACTER.
    I am a Christian man who has seen a lot of injustice in my 30 years. I am a surviver of child molestation. I was 4 years old and the petafile never spent a day in jail. My parents were poor and I was raised by a loving mother. My father is a pathetic idiot who only cares about his narrow views and how the government affects his rights and comfort. He treated my mother and me like we were only there for his gratification. He hit men almost every day. He made a lot of money over the last 15 years and doesn’t do anything with it. If you were to ask him for help in an emergency, he would just tell you that your problem is a sad story and that you are on your own.
    I don’t have much than enough money to take care of my family. We just scrape bye. But I would never refuse to help anybody who needed it. There is always going to be somebody who is worce off than me, even if I have nothing left to lose.
    Most people in this country are just one paycheck away from losing everything they have.
    THE CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE LOSE MORE THAN THAT. And for anyone to say that these kids are better off than they would be with a parent living under a bridge eating out of a soup kitchen, BUT NOT BEING ABUSED OR NEGLECTED, needs to get their heads examined. Because there’s no justice in being guilty until proven innocent. Because there is no justice in being stripped of your rights based on some spiteful liar’s accusations.
    THERE’S NO JUSTICE FOR ANY OF US BECAUSE OF CPS. AND EVEN THOUGH MY FATHER WAS MEAN AND HEARTLESS, I STILL WOULD RATHER BE BEAT WITH HIS BELT DAILY THAN BE PLACED IN A FOSTER HOME.

  123. does anyone knows a good cps lawyer in dallas?

    Comment by jenny — June 24, 2008 @ 3:11 pm



  124. I agree, Brian. In my nightmare situation, I would rather have the sh*t beat out of me every day than have to deal with lesbian feminazi control freaks that are dic (less) tating my life & not letting us see our kids. That’s why I’m getting out of this corrupt lesbian infested hellhole very soon!

  125. What about that idiot in Indy? Falls asleep and his 1 and 3 year old kids wander out into a parking lot? The neighbors had to rescue them and feed them, etc. But I guess that it’s ok because adults need sleep. That is true, but get a frigging babysitter if you are that tired. I worked third shift before and there were a few days I was so dead tired I had my mother in law watch our son for a few hours.

    Comment by Starryskye — June 25, 2008 @ 12:03 pm



  126. Starryskye,

    I don’t think anyone is saying that ALL children should never be taken from homes. There are families that don’t deserve kids. BUT please realize a lot of the cases that DCS/CPS investigate are based on reports from people retaliating. Such as a bitter boyfriend who just got dumped by his girlfriend. He may call to retaliate against her and hurt her. Little does he realize the real damage these caseworkers do. There are caseworkers out there that do make stuff up just to find reason to keep kids and collect the $$$$. Ask me because I have proof. You can be a very happy law abiding citizen who is devoted to your children but once involved with DCS/CPS they try to paint nasty pictures of you when you know without a doubt you aren’t that person.

    My name is Amabile and I am a social worker for CPS in Thurston County, Tumwater Washington.

    I have read every comment in this guestbook for June, 2008. Wow! It took me over 4 hrs. but now that I’m done, it is my turn to post a comment.

    Please do not feel under attack, as I’m only here to help. I am not here to put anyone down. I’m here because a friend of mine was a foster child for nearly half of her juvenile life.

    We went to middle school together and stayed in contact, though it was difficult with her moving around all of the time. This is what inspired me to advocate for the rights of children and their families.

    My friend was in 27 foster homes in 7 1/2 yrs. She became a ward of the state when she was almost 12 yrs. old. She moved about every 4 months and she didn’t trust anyone.

    She was one of the millions of children who don’t belong in state custody. But she was put there because CPS came out to her house so many times that they didn’t believe that the allegations were false anymore.

    This was several years before President Clinton was in office, showing how long it has been since she was removed from her mother.

    Because her mother was disabled and on social security, she was an easy target.

    To this day, neither of them know who made all of those false reports. My friend had never been hit or even yelled at by anyone before she was taken away from her mom. She never went hungry or was neglected in any way.

    However, in foster care, it was a different story.

    She was often without food and clean clothes. She was abused by other foster children. She was yelled at and mentally abused by her foster parents.

    One foster home she was in at the age of 13, was flooded in the basement, where the foster kids slept. The foster mom locked them in there at night.

    Another foster home she was in at the age of 17, was not much different. It wasn’t flooded, but her and the 2 other foster kids were locked in the basement at night where they slept. They went to the bathroom in a bucket.

    She was alone down there one day in August of 1993 when she realized that she was locked in the basement and the foster parent wasn’t there. she had to pry open the garage door with a tire iron to escape.

    Most of my co-workers are dirty. Sometimes I want to quit because I won’t meet my quota for the big bonus check at the end of the month. I am not there for the money, but there are only 5 of us out of 150 that actually are there for the right reasons.

    Most of the kids belong with their families. It’s a fact.

    Comment by Amabile — June 25, 2008 @ 2:32 pm



  128. Starryskye

    I had to go on my lunch break, but I’m back.

    Where was I? Oh, I remember.

    Not a lot has changed in the last 15 years. There are people I work with, (including my supervisor,) who have been in the kidnapping business for over 20 years.

    I call it that because that is exactly what it is. I have no respect for them.

    I very rarely see a family who’s children need protection. There are many other resources that can meet the family’s needs without removing the children from their home.

    I can say absolute certainty, that I have never had a case that ended with the termination of parental rights. I’ve also never had a child who was harmed after the family no longer had an open case.

    In 10 years, I’ve investigated over 3,500 reports of child abuse. About 80% were made anonymously.

    Only 2 of those reports had any truth to them, and didn’t require taking the kids away from their parents.

    The rest of the reports were attached to a name and most of the allegations did have some truth to them.

    I have only had to remove a handful of children from their parents, all of which returned home in less than 6 months. None of the families refused to cooperate and all of them met every court-ordered requirement. These families continue to use the resources after their cases are closed.

    All of the families stay in contact with me, and have my cell phone number in the event that they need to talk, or need a break. I continue to be there for them when they are no longer under investigation because I do care and I want these kids to stay where they belong; with their families.

    I myself am a mother. I would be absolutely devistated if I was targeted by one of my co-workers. It only takes one phone call to destroy a family.

    When my friend was reported by an anonymous person, She wasn’t investigated. Her kids were just taken based on one phone call. She only has them back because she moved in with me.

    The allegations against her were not even possible. She doesn’t have a cat because she is alergic to them. But the report said that the baby was eating the contents in the litter box.

    My sincere apologies to those destroyed by CPS.

  129. Jenny

    My husband and I vacationed in Austin before we were married. I met a few people who lost their kids and shouldn’t have while we were there.

    I want you to know that there ARE state appointed attorneys to represent you who ARE good and DO care. If yours isn’t doing everything he can to help you, FIRE HIM!!!

    Fire as many attorneys as you have to. Sooner or later you’ll get one that isn’t willing to get paid to lose your case.

    Get as much documentation as you can about yourself that shows what kind of parent you really are, (family, friends, daycare, school, doctors, people you work with, and church members if you have a church.

    Learn the law and your constitutional rights. If your attorney knows that you know these all important things, he will be less likely to decieve you.

    Read all court papers to see what they say you have to do to get your kids back and do them all as quickly as possible. Never miss a visit or an appointment, no matter what.

    Always have at least one witness and have them tape record every conversation between you and anyone involved in your case.

    It doesn’t hurt to pray, either.

  130. Brian

    I agree with you 100%!!! A family’s short comings are not, “good cause,” for CPS to rip them apart.

    I was in and out of foster homes for 3 years and I would still rather be with my parents, no matter how bad things were at home.

    Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — June 25, 2008 @ 4:05 pm



  131. Susan

    Brian’s testimony gave me chills!!!

    Do you know of a web site that could help me find loopholes in the law to force Michigan to reopen my case file from 10 years ago?

    Because if I could successfully get results, it would open the door for so many people.

    It is my belief that all of the parents, if for no other reason, needto know what shape their kids are in and if they are safe, happy and treated right.

  133. Amabile

    What a pretty name. I wish every CPS worker was like you.
    I haven’t met one yet that is.

    At least you are admitting that most of us have been victimized by CPS, that we didn’t diserve it and that we are not crazy.

    I pray that I never have to go through this with my youngest son. I think that due to his autism, he would completely shut down.

    Collier is 7 years old and he has special needs. He is very much a Mama’s Boy and I put everything into him that I can’t for my oldest son, Joseph. If you can give me any advice on how to get the information I need to find him, please email it to me at lindbloom_jm@yahoo.com.

    We owe it to our kids to stop CPS!!!

  134. Jolisa, I’m sorry, but I don’t know of any specific website in Mich. but I do know Ron Smith, founder of Children Need Both Parents based in Grand rapids. The web address is: http://www.cnbpinc.org/index.php. Another good one is justice4thecourt@aol.com. Also, go to the American Family Rights Association (AFRA) home page. They can also give you some good info like this site can!

  135. Amabile if you mean what you say maybe you should contact washingtonfamiliesunited.org I know their is a few S.W. that feel the way you do, there is always families that need advice and sometimes help but destruction is not the answer anything you can do to reform cps would be helpful to the many lifes that are destroyed

    This letter is to put the following people, on notice.
    If my children are hurt in anyway, because of the decision you have made.
    The following People, will be held accountable.

    C.P.S, and F.C.S are trying to brand me out to be a monster.
    Your agency should really look at the person, and the lies you are being told.
    The court papers have proved she is a liar, and a monster.
    Why can’t your Agency see what she is doing?
    She thinks she is smarter then all of you, and you are going along with her.
    Is she smarter then your agencies??

    The following people are under notice.

    1. Nancy Morssion (F.C.S)
    2. Beverly Johnson (C.P.S)
    3. Renee Smiley (C.P.S)

    This will act as my formal complaint
    1. Nancy Morison
    For being in full knowledge of Cindy Past
    Knowing what she is capable of with court paper
    Proving that Cindy has lied to this court and did nothing about it.
    Going along with C.P.S

    2. Beverly Johnson
    For never returning my calls
    Not looking in to this case, when so many things have happened.
    I gave her office copies of court transcripts proving Cindy a liar.
    Not being a bias agent on this case.
    Maybe she should have done her job before she went on her retreat.

    3. Renee Smiley (C.P.S)
    For never returning my calls
    Not looking in to this case, when so many things have happened.
    I gave her office copies of court transcripts proving Cindy a liar.

    For never returning my calls
    Not looking in to this case, when so many things have happened.
    I gave his office copies of court transcripts proving Cindy a liar.
    Not being a bias agent on this case.
    His blanket statement there is too much information, I need to get back
    You, and never does.
    His inability to, follow up with his job. (Maybe he should step down to a job he can handle a little better)
    Letting his agent run Rick Shaw over him with out his follow up.
    Letting his agent make a people in to a monster.
    I have never done anything in my past, but am a stable person, and an active member of society. Giving to homeless kid, police, hunger programs, Schools,
    After school program, cancer society, and aids foundation
    Helped two schools pay for a van for field trips,
    I am a Chamber member of Los Gatos and San Jose.
    Maybe He should have done his job before he went on his retreat.
    Maybe all these things would not have taken place had he looked at this case two month prior, when He let his agent pass judgment on me, and let Cindy get away with beating my little Girl.

    When her mother beat my Daughter!!!

    C.P.S never helped me at all, and I needed to start somewhere!

    Helped two schools pay for a van for field trips.
    I am a Chamber member in Los Gatos and San Jose.
    Her threats to drop this or else (the look in her face, calling me a liar, and I wouldn’t see my kids again) She needs to rethink about how she handle each case.
    This case was over her ability and she should have handed in off to someone better suited to handle cases of this nature.
    Maybe she should be shown how to be a bias agent before she handles any more cases. Maybe all these things would not have taken place had she looked at this case months ago, when she pass judgment on me, and let Cindy get away with beating my little Girl.

    When her mother beat my Daughter!!!

    C.P.S never helped me at all, and I needed to start somewhere!
    I want to start the therapy that was asked of me by the court, they said
    I needed to take her to her doctor, séance she was not acting well.
    So I took her to the doctor, she blurted out my mommy beat me.
    I thought she might have hit her head in her fall that was it!
    Gary let Nicole paint me in to being a monster.
    Nichole saying that I set Cindy up.
    He aloud Nicole to Take the power out of the court hands, and put it in hers!
    I was never going there.

    8. Dorothy Torres
    1. For knowing Cindy’s past and not doing anything about it.
    2. Letting Cindy send the kids to school in dirty clothes.
    3. Telling Cindy not to let the kids go on a planed picnic
    (Witch was a make up day that she took the kids to southern California)
    And I missed 1 day of my visit because of.
    She said that the C.P.S told her not to let me take them on the picnic.
    (The kids were put in the middle just what C.P.S said they didn’t want)
    This was to hurt me not the kids but she use them.

    For not handling my complaint in a timely matter, put my children at
    More risk of being hurt.
    Letting CPS, and FCS get away with anything they choose to
    With out proof or cause.

    In Closing if my children are hurt in any way, you all will be held accountable.
    I have kept records to prove how disfucing agency C.P.S really is!

  137. The reason that I have been on this site is because I am in the process of obtaining my social work degree, and have been torn between many options: Drug addiction specialist (dealing with specifically meth and/or heroin), CPS worker, or helping throw away kids and inner city kids.

    I do believe that children are the future, however, I do believe that both sides of this need work. It is a fact that more families than ever face addiction, and that causes issues with child rearing. I believe that if a parent shows that they are trying to maintain soberity though treatment (either in house or out) or attending meetings (NA, etc) or even doing opiate withdrawal medication (which I am NOT a fan of, however it does work for SOME), they deserve to be parents and they deserve to be helped, not to have their kids taken away.
    What we need for that is a system in place just for parents with addiction, perhaps a seperate department from CPS, where these parents could get the services, etc. on a sliding fee scale, so long as they maintain monthly contact with their worker, and allow perhaps one monthly visit to their home to see how the parents are interacting with the children.

    For inner city kids, with whom I feel have the most potential, the key is to show them that there is more to life than the projects and/or ghetto. The schools are underfunded and most of the kids are just pushed through, even though they cannot read. HBO just aired a documentary about Douglass High School in Baltimore, and it was shocking to see that most of the parents didn’t seem to care about their child’s education. However, living in that enviroment where the drug dealers are making all the money, while a part time gig at a fast food place would maybe pay $150 a week…for most kids, the choice is quite clear. We need more people to step up, and take the time to tutor the kids while they are young, to help them reach the goals where they will not be stuck in an endless rut of poverty.
    I’m not saying that poor people are bad parents. In fact, I applaud most of them for making the best out of the limited funds that they have. It teaches their children how to be thrifty in life, instead of over indulgent.

    Throwaway kids are the ones that the system doesn’t care about. They live on the streets, have to sell themselves for food. We need more teen drop in centers, like in SF, where they can shower, see a doctor, get enrolled in work programs, and find mentors to live with. We need to help them, because if we ignore them like I know so many people do (I was a throwaway, and probably some of the people on this board either have seen them or have experienced it themselves) they will end up being killed, hooked on drugs, or in the correctional system.

    As for CPS in general, as I said the first time, it does need work, however, I believe that the blame could be on both sides.

    I understand that you feel unfairly persecuted, however, in some in the cases I have read on the message boards, there was a signifigant amount of info missing to where I wonder if the person writing is in fact not telling the whole story.

    There needs to be some changes to the system, but writing online about it isn’t going to change things. The best way to take down the system is from the inside. (That was a quote from a movie, however, I am pretty sure no one here has seen it).

    With that said, I hope that you change your opinion of me, and if not, that is fine. I am at least taking a step in the right direction to help those in need.

  138. Amabile, I have read your story you are very brave by publishing your story, I cry for hrs when reading your story, since my kids are in foster care, every day tweenty-four hrs ,seven days a week ,I wonder if my babies are ok

  139. “I understand that you feel unfairly persecuted, however, in some in the cases I have read on the message boards, there was a significant amount of info missing to where I wonder if the person writing is in fact not telling the whole story.”

    This is the problem starryskye how do you know that every person is leaving out details and that there is more to the story? You have the typical social worker attitude and when a parent says that their child fell causing the bruise on their leg you would still insist there is more to the story.

    Please tell me how do you look at my case:

    My children were taken because of a report on my middle daughter. My daughter is obsessed with food and eating off the floor. I have been trying to get her help BUT the doctors failed me and gave me the run around. When CPS came to my house they took all my children (3). At the emergency hearing she made up injuries to the children that don’t exist and can be proven don’t exist according to the ER reports. This caseworker failed to let me have medical reports (gee I wonder why, because she lied), failed to let me attend doctor visits, failed to get children medical attention when absolutely needed, failed to let court ordered C.A.S.A. worker speak with children and failed to let me do a parenting assessment in a timely manner.

    This caseworker try to state the following:

    I drugged my kids (because they were taking a nap)

    I’m a drug abuser because I had syringes

    I medically neglected my children (all 3 have a chronic skin condition)

    I’m a physically abusive parent

    Well and here is my responses:

    I didn’t drug my kids because urine screens done on children were negative.

    Yes, I have syringes but I’m also T1 diabetic

    The skin condition that my children have is called Eczema which is more chronic in children and children do have flair ups. Medication and doctor reports show I do not neglect their skin condition

    My parenting assessment came back and I don’t fall in the category of a physically abusive parent

    The therapist also has determined that my daughter possibly has bi-polar, ADHD or some aspects of Autism and will be tested for Prader-Willi. DUH! I tried to tell them this from the beginning.

    So now where are we? Even though I have been fully compliant, cooperative, non threatening, ruled out as abusive, ruled out to have a drug dependency, ruled out that I drugged my kids we are still where we were when this started. Best of all the caseworker doesn’t get penalized for perjury. Shocker isn’t it????

    I get to see my children only 3 times a week for 1 hour each day. Let me add that these are fully supervised visits. Meanwhile my children continue to deteriorate and now show emotional problems that could possible harm them for life.

    Now I ask is this in the best interest of the children?

    Oh and let me also say before you ask that this is the complete story but you won’t believe that.

  140. Wow, I love how some people don’t read an entire post! That’s why America is in such a sad state. I said that some of the stories do not add up.

    As for your daughter eating food off the floor…you are her mother. She needed mental intervention, which most states offer on a sliding fee scale. If the doctors wouldn’t help the first go around, try something new.
    Find a specialist. I don’t care if they are too expensive. When it comes to your child, money should be no object.
    I would do anything for my son. If I had to go broke and sell off all of my personal effects to get him help, then be it. I would give my life and soul for him.

    To me, it sounds like you were mislead by doctors and should have went for a second, third, fourth, etc opinion. I would have gone through every frigging doctor in the tri-state area, and if I still didn’t get the help, I’d go to other states.

    Sorry, I feel that you dropped the ball on that one. I’m going to get jumped all over for this one, but I would have exausted all the doctors in the USA and possibly Canada. If I went bankrupt, so be it, so that my son would be properly diagnosed.

    In fact, when my son was first suspected of having ADHD, I had three different doctors test my son, and not just the standard Vandy test either. I wanted to be sure. And that is EVERY parents responsibility.

  141. well , have just consulted an attorney today and my case will cost me 10,000 dlls + that is not counting the previous lawyers that i hired on the top of that i pay child support,and medical coverage 100% since the state is the permanent conservatorship i wonder how long is it going to be…is been 2 yrs of fighting

    Comment by jenny — June 26, 2008 @ 4:28 pm



  142. Oh but dear starryskye, I did have a referral for my daughter to see a eating disorder doctor finally and before we could schedule an appointment she had to have various tests done. This wasn’t fast enough for CPS. But you know what CPS does when they take my daughter??? NOTHING!! In fact they let her gain 20 pounds in 6 weeks because they failed to believe that she had an obsession with food. Ask why they have my other 2 children and traumatizing them. I’ll answer that, because they want the siblings together. So because one needs help the other 2 have to be kept from family. Is that fair??????????????????? Don’t try to play the only good mother and that you will exhaust every resource available. Every parent feels that way honey but you need a reality check. You may think you can go bankrupt to do anything for your child but what are you going to tell your other kids the reason they don’t have a roof over their heads. In my opinion you are not living in this world. You dream to much!! Your expectations are very unrealistic. Someone please smack starryskye back to reality.

    Comment by Meghan — June 26, 2008 @ 6:05 pm



  143. Oh and I left out a crucial bit of info. Do you know where my daughter was eating off the floor on several occasions??? At school!! School was the one that made the report but yet they punish me AND my other 2 innocent children.

    Comment by Meghan — June 26, 2008 @ 6:17 pm



  144. Thank you Jolisa. Every prayer I get is really appreciated no matter if it comes from a stranger.

    Comment by Meghan — June 26, 2008 @ 6:32 pm



  145. I despise the attitude of the typical Nazi caseworker, such as the wannabe one above. Just rub salt in people’s wounds & continue to kick them when they’re down. Same old sh*t! Where the hell are socialist services when a parent contacts them needing help with their kid? They just ‘intervene’ when it suits their best interest$ (eg. removing kids). Then they come up with the family court fiasco (paid ’specialist$’, $ervice Plan$, ect…) all to go AGAINST the true best interests of the family, and act ‘in the be$t intere$t of the child! See a pattern here folks?

    Comment by Susan — June 26, 2008 @ 8:23 pm



  146. Starryskye-
    Sorry but I am a stickler for grammar. You should have WENT is quite incorrect. You should have gone is proper. As a social worker, I would have thought that you would have proper knowledge of English grammar.
    Just my two cents.

    Comment by Maggie — June 26, 2008 @ 8:24 pm



  147. Starryskye-
    I don’t mean to pick on you but you mention 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions. I am researching case law now in NY concerning parents who were brought to court, Family Court Act Article 10, for not adhering to the safety plan of ACS (NYC branch of CPS).
    Overwhelmingly, these parents fought for 2nd opinions and were denied same by ACS and then were brought into court for neglect.
    The cases I am reading are in favor of the parents.
    But it is expensive to fight. The very poor who are assigned court-ordered attorneys paid by the public purse are often misrepresented by these same public purse counsel.
    Those who make just a tad above the qualifications for court-appointed attorneys need to expend dollars they do not have to fight for their children.
    That is the reality.

    Comment by Maggie — June 26, 2008 @ 8:30 pm



  148. If you can’t afford to pay for more than one kid, stop having them. Tube tying is an effective method.

    Comment by Starryskye — June 27, 2008 @ 5:26 am



  149. Whatever Starryskye. Is EVERY SINGLE child born always planned? Children are a gift from GOD. Sorry if that offends, but I don’t give a rip about political correctness anymore. The Nazis involved in my case should have been abortions :)
    CPS sure lost big time in TX. The world is beginning to notice that kids (and even some adults) were unconstitutionally removed due to one bogus phone call from here in corrupt CO! I hope FLDS sues the snot out of the govt.!

    Comment by Susan — June 27, 2008 @ 5:40 am



  150. To Starrskye,
    I understand your view, and that was the view of my daughter in law after she had a child without knowing she was pregnant,(two teams of doctors and nurses at two different hospitals said this happens quite often, one nurse said this happened to her sister) my point is my daughter in law begged to have her tubes tied and they flat out refused because of her age. She was devastated when they took her child because she didn’t know she was pregnant and severed her parental rights and threatened her if she ever had another baby. Get real and find out the truth before you are the victim of corruption.

    Comment by Rebecca Young — June 27, 2008 @ 6:18 am



  151. Just another little tidbit for you Starrskye. I did give my heart and soul and went without quite a bit and lost my mom and other close relatives that died and I couldn’t be by thier side as they went, I laid my very life down for my children and their children and the whole thing comes down to money. Are you living on another planet? It’s about who has more money, that is the only thing the CPS organization is interested in. How much money in revenue will these two little angels bring us, we could care less if you passed your background check and that you have a beautiful home with lots of room and that you have worked for a school system for the last 25 years, you as the grandparent are not eligible to have any relationship nor visits because” You have no Rights” In the end I have never seen a CPS Department along with the Family Courts work harder at severing and separating 2 babies every blood relative that they have. You need to have a reality check girl!!

  152. Starryskye

    As a faithful Christian, there are a lot of opinions that I keep between myself and God.

    Quite frankly, I am tired of holding my tongue!

    I’m sure that all of the victims on this website would love to watch you and your family suffer for a time, so you can see just how much you are full of sh*t!!!

    The only reason you are really on this site is that it gives you opportunities to find ways to yet victimize more families.

    SHAME ON YOU!!! YOU ARE NOT JUST AS BAD AS THOSE CROOKED EVIL-DOERS, YOU ARE MUCH, MUCH WORSE!!!

    You may think you are all-knowing and politically and socially correct, but here’s a news flash; YOU DON’T KNOW JACK AND YOU NEVER WILL BECAUSE YOU AREN’T HUMAN!!!

    YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED BY YOUR OBVIOUSLY INEPT IDIOT MOTHER.

    YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN ONE OF THE VICTIMS WHO WERE PLACED IN AN ABUSINE, NEGLECTFUL FOSTER HOME.

    AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE BARREN BY GOD HIMSELF.

    YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY INEPT IDIOT WHO DOESN’T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT BEING A GOOD, LOVING AND CAPABLE PARENT.

    IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO END UP DEAD IN A DITCH.

    YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT DOESN’T SUPPORT YOUR VIEWS AND OPINIONS.

    THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE HERE AT ALL IS TO EMOTIONALLY SODOMIZE US AND FEED YOUR HUGE, ASSININE EGO.

    IF YOUR SON OR YOUR MAN CAME DOWN WITH A DEADLY DISEASE, YOU WOULD BE BANKRUPT EVENTUALLY AND WOULD FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF THAT MONEY DOESN’T GROW ON TREES, THAT DOCTORS DO LIE, AND THAT NO MATTER HOW INTELLEGENT YOU THINK YOU ARE, THAT YOU DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING AND YOU ARE NOT INVINCABLE.

    YOU TRUELY ARE EVIL, AND YOU WELL MOST CERTAINLY BURN IN HELL FOR BEING A CROOKED, LYING IGNORANT B*TCH.

    F*CK YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  153. Can anyone help me out there, I dont know where to start or what to do. My 2 nephews are wards of the state of michigan. My mother had custody of them for 4 years because my brothers rights were taken away. the kids were here in Tennessee with us and they were taken away because my mother got sick and the boys were staying at my house. I live right next door and i cant let my nephews come and stay with me, WHY!!! they said my house was not approved and they took the kids back to michigan, then the adoption worker says my mother is not fit to adopt the children because of health problems. My god is she now a doctor and a adoption worker. My mother has been given a clean bill of health from her doctor, now DHS wont even call us back. I have asked for them to let me adopt them. I am 33 years old and single. Is it because im single? these people are being childish, these kids have been thrown around in the system so much its ridiculous. I sent an email to Jennifer Granholm, If anyone out there knows anything i can do PLEASE!!!! email me at anthonylambert@cinram.com or call me at 1-256-508-9927. I dont care if this number is published in this comment i need help. GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

    Comment by Anthony Lambert — June 27, 2008 @ 2:03 pm



  154. Now, for the rest of us, (WHO ACTUALLY ARE HUMAN!) Iwould like to now take this opportunity to say the following:

    Starryskye

    YOU ARE a SICK and NAUSIATING waste of breath. I hope God ends your ability to destroy and victimize us before you can hurt anyone else.

    Susan

    Thanks for the 411

    Christy

    Amabile may be in a powerless position, just like the rest of us, since the majority are evil and so are the rest of the foodchain; doctors, lawyers, judges, specialists, ect… She could become a victim too. How would she, then, be able to continue to fight for our rights?

    Aaron

    Don’t give up, I’m praying for you.

    Jenny

    I’m still praying for you too. Hang in there. I still cry myself to sleep EVERY night over my sweet, babyboy, Joseph. I don’t think that will ever change.

    Meghan

    We might as well be wasting our hard earned tax dollars when we waste our time corresponding with that heartless, evil B*TCH, Starryskye. She isn’t human and is probably already getting paid to victimize us and our children.

    Maggie

    I wouldn’t worry about hurting Starryskye’s feelings. If you read every statement that she has posted on this page, you would see that feelings are not something that this B*TCH is capable of possessing! She will rape you emotionally if you let her because she hates us all. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is looking for every possible way to validate the lies that SHE is going to tell, to steal our kids.

    DID ANY OF YOU NOTICE THAT STARRYSKYE DIDN’T EVEN ACKNOWLEGE OR RESPOND TO WHAT AMABILE POSTED?

    I DID.

    I THINK THAT FACT ALONE PROVES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOM AND A C*NT.

    C*NT; (CAN’T UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING)

    I think she rode the short bus to school.

    Don’t think that I am making fun of disabled children; I had to give Deven and Ryan up for adoption because their needs superseeded what I am capable of meeting, remember?

    It wasn’t easy for me to do, but I can honestly say that losing Joseph was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me.

    I am ever so greatful for the few angels left, (Like Amabile,) who are trying to prevent families from being tortured and destroyed. I wish there were more.

    STARRYSKYE, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROVOKED INTO ANGER IN MY LIFE. CONGRATULATIONS!

    YOU GO AHEAD AND KEEP GETTING OFF AT THE EXPENCE OF OUR PAIN.

    I THINK THAT THE COMMENT YOU MADE ABOUT PEOPLE OF FAITH WAS JUST A WAY FOR YOU TO JUSTIFY THE SICK THINGS YOU DO TO YOUR KIDS.

    BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN; YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM GOD! HE SEES EVERYTHING YOU DO. HE KNOWS WHAT IS REALLY IN YOUR HEART, WHAT MOTIVATES YOU, WHAT GIVES YOU A FEELING OF POWER.

    YOU ARE DELUSIONAL IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN’T LOSE IT ALL IN A HEARTBEAT.

    HE WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR SIN.

    I AM, HOWEVER, AS WELL AS THE MANY OF FAITH ARE SAVED BY GRACE, AND ARE MADE PERFECT IN THE NAME OF THE THE HOLY ONE.

    STICK THAT IN YOUR TAILPIPE!!!

    Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — June 27, 2008 @ 2:33 pm



  155. True God fearing “Christians” do not put others down or attack them for no reason. My original post I stated that I didn’t want to offend anyone and that I thought that SOME not ALL of the stories on the boards did not add up (like the one with the mother that did coke for fun once in a while) I’m sorry that you cannot seem to comprehend large sentences, however YOU all attacked me. So how does that saying go? Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

    I planned on one child so I would be able to provide for him no matter what.

    As for Doctors not wanting to tie tubes, condoms are still in drug stores, as are different types of birth control.

    The individual that called me the “c” word, I hope that makes you feel better about yourself. It is under me to insult WOMEN with the one word that we all hate to be called. Perhaps you have a secret hatred of women because all the women I know would never let such a horrible word cross their lips, but maybe I’m just not hanging out with “Christians”?

    Comment by Starryskye — June 27, 2008 @ 7:38 pm



  156. By the way, it is proven that children of religion often rebel in the worst way because their parents force it upon them.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses are notorious for being child molesters and child abusers, yet it is kept in the religion.

    Christians have forced their religion on Africans, have abused children using their influence, and in general are hypocrites.

    You are probably the type of person that goes to church on Sunday to show that you are a good person, but if you see a homeless teen on the street begging for a dollar to get a cheeseburger, you tell them to get a job.

    I’m not anti-religion. However, I believe that organized religion is flawed and those who participate in it are often the worst sinners there are.

    I believe in a higher power, and that is my choice, though everyone here will now claim that I am a godless heathen.

    Comment by Starryskye — June 27, 2008 @ 7:45 pm



  157. For anyone who can answer

    Amabile mentions in her post above that there are ‘bonuses’ awarded to CPS case workers for removing children from their homes.

    Does anyone know if this is true in Florida? or where I can find this information?

    My 3 children were taken on February 29th after I asked a rude CPS worker to leave my home and reported her to her supervisor.

    More about this here:

  158. Starryskye, that is NOT a very accurate statement about kids of religion. You see, my life story was just the OPPOSITE. I was brought up in a primarily lesbian household. I was abused by many of the c-words that my mom was shacked up with. Now, sad to say, I resent that lifestyle. Not gay men, I got nothing against them because they haven’t destroyed me like gay women have. My mother & her c*nt-trolling ‘partner’ stole all 3 of my kids, when the original case was only against one. the spread vicious lies against my husband & me to DHS. I totally am remorseful for yelling at myl ittle boy outside where the nosy narc across the street called the Nazis, who actively pursued this bogus case!
    I wish I had a religious upbringing instead of having feminism shoved down my throat! The ERA is long dead & bloated! Feminazis need to give it the f*ck up already. Oh yea, and by the way, I HAVE my BA in Human Services/Management! This corrupt county will never hire me cuz I’m smarter than they are now, but I do work my rear end off at 2 jobs!
    JoLissa, you’re very welcome. Anytime you need some information, I’ll look it up if i don’t know the answer. I would rather let a TRUE Christian into my life, than some fake-ass Illumanti NWO sympathizer!

    which hole did your mother birth you from? are those really your kids or did you sh*t yourself? did your mother go bowling and use your head for a bowling ball? i bet that you have stds they still dont have names for. are you the town bicycle that everyone gets a ride? the door knob that everyones had a turn? i bet you spread like peanut butter. where was your parents when condoms were invented? did you attend george w bushes school of the abcs to speaking gooder? are you the secretary for the do-we-cheat-em-and-how law office? or do you own it? were you absent when god was passing out the common sence? is your husband a doberman or a great dane? when was the last time someone checked the psi in your head? does your brain run on o2 or helium? were you released from the nut house for the criminally insane or did you escape? were you taking your prozac as perscribed when your dog knocked you up? does the satanic cult you belong to sacrifice all children or just the ones that arent yours? how much did you pay the government to lose that report when you beat your baby? when you molest your kids does your husband just watch and videotape or does he join in and participate? you must suffer from a termanal case of rectal-optimitus. i did read your comments all the way through and you have holes in your story. what comes around goes around. when you flap your jaws you dont sound very bright. if you were then you would see that you are not a good mother. aparently your mother wasnt either or she would have raised you right. there is nothing good that comes from profiting from someone elses pain. if your mother raised you right then you wouldnt be such a nurotic greedy psycho who gets your rocks off by doing bad things to children. we all see right through you. they call you a c*nt because you are one. i don’t care what religions they are or how devout they are. i dont know anyone who could take what you dish out to these poor little souls without fighting back eventually. you are mean and sick in the head. you need help. your child would be better off euthenized then suffer from the twisted ways that you are raising him. you are the hypocrite on here. you tell these people that they dont comprehend long sentences but its you that doesnt comprehend them. you dont comprehend big words either. you are a vulture who picks at the remains of these broken hearted souls. and you do attack them every time you make a comment. so what if you had just one kid so that you could be such a perfect parent. perfect doesnt exist. if you think that these people deserved to lose their kids because of the nonsence they were accused of even if they really did make a mistake or many mistakes then justice wasnt done when your kid didnt get taken away. your suposed babysitter that suposedly abused your kid was a babysitter that you picked if your story is true. see? you arent perfect. you made a mistake. your f*cking sh*t stinks more then the parent that did coke sometimes for fun. you are a deluded maniac monster on a power trip that needs to be exterminated like a cockroach. no amount of money or so called education can make you anything different. if i knew who you really are and where you lived i would end your like susan put it so beautifully, sick nazi life. hitler c*nt whore birthed from moms ass. drop dead b*tch.

  160. Wow! My mom told me about this website and I am shocked at what I am reading.
    There are a lot of angry and hurt people here. There are also a couple of really mean people.
    I will be 18 years old on July 1st and I am a foster child. My social worker told me that since I graduated a couple weeks ago that my birthday is my “out” day. I’m scared.
    I was taken away from my mom almost a year ago because my mom is homeless. There are a lot of us that were taken for the same reason. The reasons for being homeless varies and I don’t agree that it’s a good reason to take kids.
    My mom made sure that I was safe and fed. She made sure that I was clean and went to school. She made me street-wise so that I wouldn’t be a drug adict or a prostitute. She gave me all of the tools I needed to excel, to be honest, to have high self esteem, to never quit, to love myself.
    I’m her only child.
    We were homeless my whole life, but I never went without anything. I was conceived at a Salvation Army Shelter when my dad was still alive. I was never, ever abused.
    All of my friends and their parents are homeless. None of my friends are abused and never go without.
    None of the girls in my foster home were abused by their parents. CPS took them anyway. Only because their parents incomes were below poverty level and they relied on foodstamps and medicaid. They had homes.
    It doesn’t matter how much money you have, how many kids you have, where you sleep, how you make money. If your kids are not abused, why are they in a foster home? I am because I was homeless.
    It really is such a stupid reason to hurt people. Hurting innocent people that can’t defend themselves is morbid and cruel.
    Did I mention that I was brought up as a Christian? So did all of my friends. So did the girls I live with. We aren’t aloud to go to church because our guardian only believes in a higher power. The other girls raise heck because we are being denied our constitutional rights. The government owns us until we turn 18, then they “out” us.
    Their is a big difference between a religion and a cult. JW’s, Mormans, HC’s and such are cults.
    Christianity is not just a religion or a belief, it’s a way of life. It’s a choice, not a requirement. It’s an identity, not a label.
    Jesus is all love. He invites us to come to the cross just as we are. He is patience, mercy and everything just and pure. He will never forsake believers. He forgives us every time we come to the cross. No sin is worce than another in his eyes. When we confess to him, by his grace we are forgiven. He casts our sins as far as the East is from the West. He provides us with our needs. We can’t do it on our own. We deceive ourselves and those around us when we believe otherwise.

  161. Hi, this is Angel. I agree with Leah, but I also agree with Jolisa, Susan and the other victims on here. Nobody but Jesus has the authority to judge and we are standing on shifting sand if we think otherwise. Jesus came to save us, not destroy us. He’s in the business of restoration. Children are a gift from God. God doesn’t make mistakes. People do however and that is why God is the one running the show.
    Satan was a beautiful angel who decided he was equal to God and he and a third of the angels were cast into hell. God had a plan in the beginning. Anyone who steps in and takes God given children from their God given parents, (playing God,) is in danger of judgement. Those who judge will be judged.

  162. Welcome, Pissed Off Parent! You said it all and I thank you for it.

    Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — June 28, 2008 @ 2:19 pm



  163. Starryskye, you are way out of your league. You are VERY UNEDUCATED.

    I am not by any means a just on Sunday church goer. I’m one of the outreach volunteers and I run sound for the church band on Wed, Thu and Sun, as well as special occasions.

    I have NEVER and will NEVER ignore a person in need. I was homeless on and off my whole life. I was for a long time when I lost Joseph.

    You are a C*UNT

    Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — June 28, 2008 @ 2:34 pm



  164. Thank you genny.
    I am i it for the long haul,
    CPS need to be cleaned up, and with the last breath I have ,that is what I intend to do.Now there is a lot of hurt people here, we all sould get it to gether as a group and make the system change. us going it alone they can walk on us.but if were are to unight and work together we can change the way the system work, there need to be check and balance. these worker should not be able to just bue anything they choose to.
    If any one wants to help this fights it not here we need to be it in court fighting CPS as a group, I have keeped my records, and I know I have a case, I have cought CPS in lies, they take me as a stud foul and I dont know how the system works, but I grow up on the system and I due.that is why it is so imporent (sorry about my spelling) to keep records. We should show then how loud we can get togher.

  165. I not sure who made this site, but I pretty sure it was not meant for us to take pot shot at eacher, I think I was made for us to help one another, get thru trying time and for support, and unite all of us, we all are not perfect perants, we all make misteaks and I know I have, that part of peranting
    We all have been wronged by CPS in some way that is way we are here. My question is how do we fix it? who do we turn to, the only way to be heard is in numbers fighting for the same cause, CPS is broken we need to fix it, for our children. I belive in our systems, and sometime they get droken, till enought of us say we have had enought. we need to write our senate, congress people.
    toghter we can win.

  166. Depending upon where one lives—
    one doesn’t have to necessarily rely on the only option of a court-appointed (free) attorney or a privately retained one.
    All law schools have law clinics that assist persons. Many of these clinics have specific legal agendas. The clinic might advocate for homeless people or disabled people and if CPS is harassing you because you are homeless or disabled you might be a candidate for the legal clinic.
    There are also law clinics fighting the social service statutes that were created for CPS -
    They are usually called Family Defense Clinics.
    Please check with your local Law Schools to see if such a clinic might be available to help you.

  167. Maggie–excellent post,

    Folks in MICHIGAN HAVE A FIRED UP Clinic at the University of Michigan.

    Headed by a Law Prof who knows CPS does illegal moves. He has a clip of clinic on Youtube.com

    Please, Linda, you need an area of your site where folks can post the names of these Law Clinics.

    Michigan further has the Family Defense Center, headed by 2 noted CPS taming attorneys.

    http://www.familydefensecenter.net

    In Chicago. Meetings at least 1x a month.

  169. susan,
    Ron Paul ended his campain to start his campain for liberty, this does not mean he is not running, it means the funds were transfered from presedental campain to the liberty campain there’s a movement to restore consitutional order, this would be helpful to good parents and good citizens a like its time WE THE PEOPLE let the government know thier there to serve us (join this revolution) together we can stop cps and make a difference in our childrens future

    I told her to protect her self .
    she didn’t have them do their home work this again I had to catch them up again

    my third visit
    Big Donnie sent a message with my son told him to tell me, if I tell my kids to protect themselves again, he would come
    over to my home and kick my ass, that night he showed in front of my home.
    they sent the kid again to school in dirty clothes, and even after they knew I was taking them to the dent ice
    the kids have not been brushing their teeth
    also Toni teacher told me that Toni gets out of school at 2:30 and her mother has been making her sit out side till her brother get out of school

    on my days and I am sorry for Cindy not picking up Toni on time.

    she said Toni forgot to take it with her, it’s not Toni Job to remember it’s her mother or father job.
    Cindy didn’t have Toni do any home work, I had to ketch her up again
    this week Cindy chopped off Aaron hair, ever after Aaron asked them not to.
    big Donnie said Aaron looks like a girl, and he has gum in it any way we could take care of that long hair.
    Donnie should have nothing to say about my son, and what he wants something needs to be done about this man
    He should be told to stop making decisions where my kids best interest is
    Cindy scared that she don’t want to upset him she went along with cutting off Aaron hair.
    Aaron has been trying to grow his hair to the way it was for over a year. He look at me and starting crying.
    asking me please Daddy let me stay with you. I don’t want to go back there.
    Toni told me she has not brushed her teeth sense last week when she was here.
    after all the work on Aaron teeth he told me he brushed his teeth only 3 times.
    Cindy know Aaron had 11 cavities she should be on top of this
    this is a very cold winter , this is not summer you don’t cut a kids hair off and make them bold.
    I bought them a video game system today, I think we could all play together and take turns.
    in October Toni couldn’t even play ’s now she better then me ???
    I limited them to one hour a day , Aaron told me this is all they do.
    I asked him if he goes out side , he said no. I play on the x box most of the time.
    this is not healthy for them, they should be out side with the other kids,
    I made them go out side at least 1 hour a day , Aaron said he like’s playing game’s better.
    Cindy told Aaron and Toni to act the way daddy showed them, when there are with me
    or it would look bad on her, and I could take them away from her.
    I told Aaron and Toni they should act the way I showed them all the time
    Because It looks bad on both of us, I told them don’t be like those other kids.
    no hitting no bad words , tell your mother when one of the other kids hurt them
    so other parents can take care of the other kids.
    he told me that nothing happens to them when there are bad
    We get in trouble, and thing get things taken away from us.
    these people should not have any say in my kids lives.
    Toni called Aaron to fucker for not letting her play.
    I told her that word is not aloud here.
    something needs to happen about this!!!!
    Aaron just told me that that they took his bed down and thru it away.
    now he sleeps on the floor. But he is back in his room
    not stuck in a the front room on a chair .
    the other kids a aloud to stay up , and aaron would turn off the TV on them.
    now he is on the floor sleeping.
    he told me he has to clear a space,so he could have a place to sleep.
    tonihome work was not done all week.
    1/31/08
    Little Aaron got up this morning , after breakfast he said I love coming here ,We get to eat before we go to school.
    I said you don’t get breakfast?? He said no they just say eat breakfast at school, you don’t have time.
    a parent makes time it the parent that wakes up the kids , they said the have the food but Cindy does not get them up in time to eat.
    she wake them rushing out the house saying your going to miss the bus. She could miss an extra 45 minute sleep to make sure
    the kids get off with the right start, food feed the brain, if they don’t eat they will not think as well. Is this good parenting I think not!
    on the way taken them to school ,Aaron told me he was going to run away me home last week, he walked about three blocks,
    and then turn back because him didn’t know how to get to my house. he told me he does not to go back that house and those kids.
    2/6/08
    the First thing out of Little Aaron month Was Big donnie made them sleep in the car,last Sunday night.
    Cindy told them that she was going to kill her self and end this night mare,Toni was sent to school again with a jacket.
    she Ws sent in a dress with nothing but under ware no legs uncovered it was about 38 dreges that and raining, and windy.
    and their home work was not done again. aaron brushed his teeth today ago,
    Dig Donnie told Little Aaron that he wants then to atsy with me and save him the trobble.
    their home was not bone all week,

    2/13/08
    To day when I pick up my kids the first thing Aaron said was that his mother said, that she wish that he was with his father and at that he was not wanted,
    at that house donnie and adona wish he was with me, things would be smoother for them.
    the only thing she wanted , was Toni .things would be better with out him,
    Toni had a scratch on her face , she told me that, alie, or aaron or the cat did it she don’t remember.
    this is a horrible thing to say to your owe son.
    also spoke with their teacher about the way the come to school, she has notice Toni and aaron coming to school dirtier then normal but were in a
    poor area so its common that kids come to school dirty, I asked if she been been picked up on time
    the teacher said Cindy has been better about it, I asked about Toni and her coming with a jacket, she told me she has extra in the class
    and that Toni use’s it often, I told her Cindy was to send her with a jacket, and to please let me know if the is not happening.
    she also said that there is some sign of neglete, but giving the area these thing happen.
    as I was washing toni’s hair , I notice sign’s of hand fringer print bruses on her legs, she told me they can from the other kids in the house draging
    her down the hall way , all three hitting her, she told her mother and she did nothing about it.
    I have pitchers. They told me that they are beging sent to bed with out eating, when donnie, addonna said they were bad.
    kids need food to grow, it helps them think, At this point if my kids are being treated this way , while going thru court.
    how do their kids being treated, are they being feed, bathed, ?????? You take game’s away/ tv away / put them in the corner, but you always feed kids,
    then snd them to bed early. Kids have to eat, to help them grow
    also cindy keeped toni home work so I could not get her home work done per court order.

    2/14/2008
    this week thing seem to be a little better, because Cindy had two complaints at cps, said they were made to take a bath every day
    and brush their teeth. Aaron seem a little more aggressive then before, and Toni has wet her self 3 time in to days.
    they told me that they were moving very soon but he does not know how to get there but it a far dive.
    they also told me that they all cleaned all last weekend because they didn’t want to look
    bad in front of cps. Aaron told me they had gone to the store and finely they have food.
    cps came to my home ,and asked me a ton of questions, and talked to the kids again.
    the lady from cps told little aaron that her told her two different story’s the one when she went to his school.
    and then the one in front of Cindy, I told little aaron to tell the truth, even it hurts daddy but tell the truth.
    her told that his mother made him lie to the court, and what he told Stacy was not the truth.
    his mother talked about the story over and over with him, so he would not fore get.
    again cindy keep Toni’s home work this is noq the second time this has happened

    2/27/2008
    this week aaron said he only took a couple of baths, but had been brushing his teeth.
    Toni was made to take a bath, because she was coming here , she was not made to brush her teeth.
    Aaron told me Cindy was in the hospital, because she a vain in her leg burst, while she was taking apart her bed
    getting ready to move. I asked him if they found a place he said he thinks so but not sure.
    when I asked where it was he told me they were the car forever and very close to Marsha house.
    this is the out side of Sacramento.
    Aaron told me that Donnie , and Adonna have been punishing them .
    these people have no right to punish my kids , they have no relation to them, Cindy should be the only
    one that is punishing this is giving mixed messages to my kids.
    again Cindy keeped Toni’s home work and again toni did not do her home this week.
    I can not be held acountable for their home work if its not been sent with her.
    spoke with the teacher about the problem, she said she wood send the pkt with her
    on wensday.
    29-Feb
    on the way taken the kids back to school, Toni started crying saying daddy please don’t let me go back there.
    Aaron said he hate’s them, I asked why she cry’s when I let them off on Friday.
    she said Adonna puts her in cold shower’s, Aaron replied and Donny too ( this Male should not have any right to touch my daughter let along she has been
    molested by her uncle that Cindy let go for over 6 months before I caught him ,and made him turn himself in to the police. )
    Cindy should never let him give her a bath in any way.
    these two people should never man handle my kids, and Cindy cant say anything or they will walk on her.
    these people can do any thing they want to and she will give in to what they want from her.
    or they will walk on her. My kids are being hurt in so many way I can not protect my kids from this.
    All three of the adults sleeping together will this make these kid normal???
    I was taken to jail for assault on Cindy on her word alone, why is the court looking away ???
    the court needs to listen to my kids. They don’t want to live with those people.
    they don’t fell safe there
    I was told just throwing water at a person is an assault, is a cold shower an assault??
    I think so, Cindy is by court order the only one that can punish the kids.
    why are these people being able to man handle my kids.

    3/5
    Toni came with a massive burse on her leg, and again no home work for Toni Aaron had his home work.
    Aaron told me Donnie was yelling at him and then Toni told me her mother hit her really hard
    because she would not go to sleep. Now Cindy is hitting the kids!!!!
    and their clothes were very dirty, had to wash them twice to get them clean again.
    she also came with out socks, and under ware.
    3/6/08
    last night I seen Toni in her room playing with her private part, I didn’t say anything I walked away
    then she asked to sleep with me I said ok, she wet the bed she started crying and said please daddy don’t be made at me
    don’t put me in a cold shower, I changed then bed gave her hugs told her its ok these things happen
    I told her that daddy had wet the bed when he was little she smiled gave me a big hug ,and said daddy I love you.
    I took Toni to see the doctors she was not acting right , I took her to the Kelly center, I didn’t know where to start.
    so I went back there , the lady there told me this was not the dept I wanted , and to take her to her
    regualer doctor, so I went from there straight the her doctor.

    we all took the day off to have this picnic.I am not sure if C.P.S realy told her not to let me have them for the day

    I asked him where they came from from
    he said mom and toni had a fight toni was not getting dressed.
    toni pulled away and cindy fell on top of toni makng the bruses
    Cindy should get down to toni’s level

    she needs to stay in controll of our kids and not get to their age and fight with them.

    31-May
    Cindy got kick out of the program, now our kids or on the street when is the court going to see.

    sence then she has interduced my kids to yet another guy, and CPS placed her in the same place she was in before.
    I have found out that she helped the bennets that have a restraining order (they can not be any where around my kids)
    the same week the we were in court, she helped then get in the home less shelter she is in.
    Cps was in full knowlage of the restraining order and still placed my kids in harms way..
    I have informed the county manager office, and they are not doing anything about CPS actions.

    Last Friday and this last Monday Dorothy Torres told me that I was not in voialation of the court order.
    That I was doing what I could, by Following the case plan as ordered.

    and I know how the system works.
    I told her that my syster and my mother was do on hud, and I know how it works.
    I told her that the social worker places the person in the shelter, and put the on a case plan.
    then slowly works on getting them housing.and work.

    his replied that was how it works , I asked then why did you put the kids back in the shelter with those people.
    In full knowlage of the protective order. She replied she was not going to commet on that.
    I told Her about the court order in enough time so my children could be place in a safe place.

    C.P.S, and F.C.S are trying to brand me out to be a monster.
    Your agency should really look at the person, and the lies you are being told.
    The court papers have proved she is a liar, and a monster.
    Why can’t your Agency see what she is doing?
    She thinks she is smarter then all of you, and you are going along with her.
    Is she smarter then your agencies??

    The following people are under notice.

    1. Nancy Morssion (F.C.S)
    2. Beverly Johnson (C.P.S)

    Proving that Cindy has lied to this court and did nothing about it.
    Going along with C.P.S

    2. Beverly Johnson
    For never returning my calls
    Not looking in to this case, when so many things have happened.
    I gave her office copies of court transcripts proving Cindy a liar.

    Not being a bias agent on this case.
    His blanket statement there is too much information, I need to get back

    His inability to, follow up with his job. (Maybe he should step down to a job he can handle a little better)
    Letting his agent run Rick Shaw over him with out his follow up.

    When her mother beat my Daughter!!!

    He didn’t want to get hurt; she told him if he didn’t take it out she would pull his ear. He refused, and she went to pull his ear he batted it away, then she tacked him to the floor, and spat in she face.
    This was Cindy way of making sure I took them for the week!

    5. Edith Rodriguez
    1. Helping Cindy cover her lies, in full knowledge of what Cindy’s past is.
    2. Knowing the lies that Cindy has told to C.P.S and is doing nothing about it.
    3. Helping making me into being a liar so Cindy looks as good as possible,
    To cover the mistakes made by C.P.S (Cindy is in control because she has to be
    She is being watched on camera at all time she can’t mess up or C.P.S will pull
    Away. What Is C.P.S going to do when they let her back into

    6. Knowing that Debbie Crandall had reported that Cindy went over the top.
    She came in with a fresh set of eyes Knowing that Cindy went way over the top, and did nothing.
    Debbie said Cindy told her; she had lied about what had happened, with Little Aaron. When Cindy tried to put Little Aaron on a 72-hour hold to cover the abuse on my son, done by Cindy.

    6. Debbie Crandall (C.P.S)
    She came in with a fresh set of eye’s (she passed judgment on me because
    I had the audacity to question her agency)
    She even told me, that Cindy went way over the top, and did nothing.
    She said Cindy told her; she had lied about what had happened, with Little Aaron.

    7. Nicole Hayes (C.P.S) and her intern
    For never returning my calls
    Passing judgment on me, assuming I was the liar in this case.
    Taken the power out of the courts hands, and us it at her on will.
    Not being a bias agent on this case.
    Running Rick Shaw over C.P.S smashing people lives.
    Trying to make me in to monster.

    After school program, cancer society, and the Aids foundation
    Helped two schools pay for a van for field trips.
    I am a Chamber member in Los Gatos and San Jose.
    Her threats to drop this or else (the look in her face, calling me a liar, and I wouldn’t see my kids again) She needs to rethink about how she handle each case.
    This case was over her ability and she should have handed in off to someone better suited to handle cases of this nature.
    Maybe she should be shown how to be a bias agent before she handles any more cases. Maybe all these things would not have taken place had she looked at this case months ago, when she pass judgment on me, and let Cindy get away with beating my little Girl.

    3. Telling Cindy not to let the kids go on a planed picnic
    (Witch was a make up day that she took the kids to southern California)

    She said that the C.P.S told her not to let me take them on the picnic.
    (The kids were put in the middle just what C.P.S said they didn’t want)
    This was to hurt me not the kids but she use them.

    10 John Martin
    Trying to force my son in to admitting to something he has not done.
    Not getting back ground or history on this case.
    11. Christine Hollender
    For not handling my complaint in a timely matter, put my children at
    More risk of being hurt.
    Letting CPS, and FCS get away with anything they choose to
    With out proof or cause.

    In Closing if my children are hurt in any way, you all will be held accountable.
    I have kept records to prove how disfucing agency C.P.S really is!

    INTERVIEW: TERRY LEE FORET DATE: 12-14-2007
    On this date, Terry Lee Foret was interviewed concerning his past relationship with Cynthia Hamilton. Terry Lee Foret provided this information:

    One of her grandfathers sexually molested Cynthia as a child.

    He met Cynthia in 1993, to his knowledge she was divorced from Todd Ortega. Shortly after meeting Cynthia, she was pregnant. At the time of the pregnancy, Cynthia led him to believe the child was his. He was not working in a carnival, and does not know who this person is that is in court documents filed in Marin County on behalf of Todd Ortega.

    The child, Jamey, was born with a heart defect. Within a few days of birth, she had open-heart surgery. For the next two years, Cynthia lived with him and the relationship seemed stable. At age two years, Jamey needed follow up surgery. It was at this time that Cynthia left the family, and left Jamey with Terry Lee Foret. Cynthia wrote a letter that later was used as evidence in custody hearings. In that letter she stated that she could not deal with the stress of being a parent and that is why she was leaving the family.

    It was after Cynthia Hamilton met Aaron Shinabery that Cynthia tried to gain custody of Jamey. It was in this time that DNA testing found that he was not the biological father. It was in this time that the revelation came that the stepfather was the father. It was in this time at age 4 years a therapist learned from Jamey that her mother had been during visits sexually molesting her. That therapist is Dr. Leslie Packer. This evidence came into the court proceedings. Terry Lee Foret obtained custody of Jamey, and there is a permanent stay away order preventing Cynthia Hamilton from having any contact with her daughter.

    Because of the abandonment and the molestation, Jamey still has periodic therapy. Terry Lee was once a child guidance counselor for many years working at Stanford Hospital. He is of the opinion that Cynthia Hamilton should not ever have custody or care of any child.

    In the past, Cynthia Hamilton has been diagnosed as bi-polar borderline schizophrenic.

    Currently Cynthia Hamilton owes over $60,000 in child support arrears.

    INTERVIEW: RAQUEL PENNYWELL DATE: 12-12-2007

    Raquel Pennywell who is a niece of Aaron Shinabery, was interviewed on this date. In her interview, she provided background information concerning Cynthia Hamilton. Raquel is the informal historian of the family. She is aware of most incidents and issues that have taken place in the extended Shinabery family.

    Raquel through conversations with Cynthia Hamilton knows that Cynthia during her high school years had a voluntary sexual affair with her stepfather. She knows from Cynthia that after Cynthia left Todd Ortega Cynthia’s first husband, she became pregnant by her stepfather. Cynthia was also sexually involved with Terry Foret at the time.

    Raquel through Cynthia knows that after Jamey was born she left Terry Foret. It was in this time or just before Cynthia was dating and having sex with Scott Stracener the half brother of Aaron. She knows this from Scott and Cynthia. Cynthia left Scott for Aaron. Cynthia gave birth to Aaron Junior a year or so after.

    In 1999, Cynthia was working at Albertsons in Palo Alto. She was having two affairs at this time. One was with the manager of Albertsons and took place on the job. The other was with the Frito Lay deliveryman. Aaron found out about the affairs. Cynthia took Aaron Junior and her mother and moved to Oregon, where within a month or a few months she married a Mr. Webb. That marriage lasted she recalls under a year. Cynthia eventually returned to Aaron.

    In 2004 or perhaps 2005 before August, Cynthia one day became irrational. She brandished a knife at Elizabeth Kitchell and fled the residence. The Menlo Park Police found her as she was about to jump off a bridge. Raquel is aware that Cynthia was taken into custody WI 5150.

    It is in 2005 that Robert Hamilton, a brother of Cynthia Hamilton, molested one of the two children of Aaron and Cynthia. This child told Raquel of the molestation. Raquel told Cynthia. Cynthia, unknown to Raquel, did not tell Aaron. Months later, after the child was molested again, Aaron found out. Robert Hamilton has since been convicted of the crime.

    Raquel is not aware of any past violence between Cynthia and Aaron.

  178. Dear Maggie:

    NYC has an organization:

    http://www.cwop.org

    NYC thru Chi to me reads as New York City through Chi ( Chicago, ILL)

    NYC also has several law schools and clinics.

    Chi is Familydefensecenter.net to me.

    Headed by an experienced Family Law attorney, who is well known in CPS circles.

    May I suggest you sign onto:

    CPSWatch.com or at Yahoogroups.

    Best wishes. F.

  179. Hi Fran-
    I know of cwop. They do have an excellent manual on their website. I also know that NYU operates a family defense law clinic.
    I did not know about CPSWatch and will check into that right away.
    I actuall did mean New York City needs help from Chicago!!! Thanks for the tips.

    Maggie

    Comment by Maggie — June 29, 2008 @ 9:47 pm



  181. JoLisa, I’m making a comment about “Loop Holes” made on the 24th. I’m from Oklahoma, so I’ve researched the law in my state, immensely. Title 21, Chapter 13, Section 453 and Title 21, Chapter 14, Section 463 are felony offenses that DHS often participate in. False Allegations. The “Loop Hole” that they use is Title 10, Chapter 71, Section 7105, that gives them amnesty to false allegations and tort lawsuits. In other words, if the false allegations were made in “Good Faith”, then no recourse is required. But when the person making the allegation is allowed to remain anonymous and will not be required to appear in court, what justice is that? We are not as ignorant nor as gullible as we once were. In other words, you are right on target.

    Comment by daaronad — June 30, 2008 @ 7:28 pm



  182. Starryskye, In response to your June 25th comment…”What about that idiot in Indy.” We are all different people. Our situations are all seperate. To stereotype a person or family, because they had DHS say that there is “just cause”, is wrong. I used to think that DHS was there to help families. I was gullible. I researched and began to understand, both sides. Please, do not use a DHS confirmed abuse story to justify their abuses and beliefs that if an allegation is made, it must be true and the parent/s are monsters. You can research your DHS policies and procedures and protocol, as well as your state statutes, online. If you open your eyes, you will see how they contradict each other and, at the same time, protect each other.

  185. Starrskye, in response to your comment on your June 26th. “I believe that if a parent is trying”, etc. I was told that if I didn’t give my full cooperation that my children would go to foster homes. In Oklahoma, the threat of losing your children is not coercion. So, I cooperated. I agreed to going through classes, that as a requirement, included in me signing a statement that I agree that I accept the fact that I am a child abuser. If I signed it I would be showing that I was cooperating. If I didn’t sign it, I was not cooperating and they would have to report it to DHS. Of course, I initially agreed and paid the money for the attendance meetings, surcharges, books, etc. But, I read the agreement and I discussed my concerns about the sincerity of the program with the administrator. That was a waste of time. I didn’t sign to admitting that I was the monster that they made me out to be. During that time, with my children being seperated, and my oldest daughter being raped twice while she was moved between eleven different placements in ten months, I was at my wits end trying to cooperate with DHS. They had me go to an alcohol assessment. I used to drink on weekends. I quit drinking seven weeks before the assessment. The evaluator told me stories of DHS and said that she is sure that my assessment would come up negative. I called DHS, afterwords, and was told by them that with all that I have going on right now, they feel that it would be better if I attended weekly ANON meetings. That was a serious turning point with me. I went from a sociable drinker, on the weekends, to an every night drinker, at home alone, because my children are gone. I have my children home now. I was lucky enough to live through my ordeal. However, my oldest daughter has been hurt beyond repair, due to DHS.

  186. Starryskye, to your June 26 comment on…” Find a Specialist, regardless of how expensive.” We don’t all have the luxury of “regardless of how expensive.” I am lucky enough to have been able to take a $30,000 loan from my retirement, which I have to pay back, just to help me with the attorney, counselors, court and doctors fees. Otherwise , I would not have my children back home, today. I only hope that I am able to continue to afford all of this until my children are out on their own. I threw away my retirement and am hoping that I can keep from going bankrupt until my children are adults.

  187. To make my last statement for this month, this site was intended help those victimized by DHS and their affiliates. It still stands as such. It was intended for a support group. Not to allow criminals to get away with their activities, but to prevent them from getting away with their activities. If you come on this site to deter this intent, please, go elsewhere.

  188. I’ve looked, but have not found ANY pro-CPS sites. It’s gotten so bad here that DHS has a sign up on a major intersection saying: ADOPT THROUGH DHS. That’s why I’m getting the f*ck out of this hellhole SOON. NWO is alive & well in Corrupt Colorado!

  190. Greetings all -

    I am posting simply for support for those parents going through a battle with SRS & CPS. Been there. Odd thing is the child they claim they have isn’t mine.

    Everyone wants documents to prove what I am saying is true; however if SRS & CPS provide no documentation but run an individual around from one office to another passing the buck of whom made the mistake is negligence of duty.

    I had applied for jobs and could not figure out why. One day I was told ‘we don’t want your kind I’m going to have to let you go.’ I asked ‘what do you mean my kind?’ This is when the battle began and since then I have lost track of how Debra Germann Taylor Supervisor for Geary County SRS and Matt Boddington so called legal counsel for the North East Region for SRS.

    Mr. Boddington keeps stating ‘the facts are clear…’ but he keeps changing his story, and dates and refuses to give documents to support his accusations. This is because he has none. I hope Taylor & boddington both lose their license to practice social work and law because they are both incompetent to do their job and negligent in their job. If I don’t have a child in their care, why do I keep getting asked ‘Are you sure?’ My adult children have even been asked ‘Did your mom have any other children.’ and ‘How do you know your the baby?’ It’s crazy. Good luck to all and particularly the babies in SRS & CPS custody because someone is missing a child they are trying to claim is mine & it isn’t.

  191. I would like to thank those that helped me pray. The father of my niece and nephew was a pedophile and has been terrifying them and us for 8 years. He was granted custody a couple of months ago, however he passed away yesterday. I just wanted to say that sometimes even when it seems you will never see them again , Yahweh our creator listens! so thank you so much!!!!!!!! I will remember those here who have helped me with their testimonies and will pray for you!!!!!may Yahweh bless you!!!!!!!!!!
