		<description>Correction, went and looked at the book I mentioned....turns out it was Alex Baldwin, not Jeff Bridges who wrote it. He does get involved with causes he believes in!</description>

		<description>Just a question, but has anyone tried starting a petition on that petition starter web page?? Or talked to the civil liberties union? I found a statics published in a newspaper (web based???) that said 2/3 of all child abuse reports are false claims!
It might help if we banded together and state by state until we had enough support then go after the US law makers make a law to punish deliberate false reporters to the fullest extent of the law, with such things as defamation of character, slander, undue emotional distress (all parents who have had their families stressed &amp; traumatized can attest to that one!) and other laws currently in effect that apply to the individual false claimants. SO many of the false claimants seem to be doing it out of hate, anger, vindictiveness and just plain witch hunt mentalities! Just ask the Bridges brother who wrote the book &quot;Promises We Make Ourselves&quot; (about his divorce!)!!! Maybe HE will help! I know I&#039;m getting tired of false claims (this is false claim number 7, but 2nd in this state!)</description>

		<description>CPS has been called on my wife and I a total of 5 times that we know of, were currently going to a forced non court ordered rehabilitation program because the caseworker, claimed she smelled marijuana.  I am a member of the Chewah Cherokee of Canada and was burning sage and mullen in the traditional way of using an abalone shell with a sweet grass twist. This is the smell she claims was marijuana, furthermore, when she first came to our home, which we own outright, we were told that she didnt need a warrant and that if we didnt let her in then our children would be taken from us and my wife and I would be placed under arrest for obstruction of official business. I unfortunately agreed to the home invasion at the time, and only after the fact found out that she, Margie Roberts, of Pike County, Ohio CPS, Violated our 4th amendment rights. 

Im begging for help, my wife and I are living in constant fear of CPS whom I have come to call the &quot;Gestapo&quot;. To anyone who doesnt know, the Gestapo was the nazi secret police responsible for the rounding up of the jews for transfer to prison camps.

Please for the love of all things good, I am begging for help and advice.</description>

		<description>I to complied with all that my case plan stated and then some, they said 90 day treatment program I stayed for 160 days then went beyond what was being asked of me by entering a mentor home which is closely tied to foster homes only it is a place where a mother involved with system can be &amp; live with her kids under the watchful eyes of the mentor family ( the family whom opens their homes to parents and children) after our stay was over 6 months I moved into a transition apartment complex located in the social service complex I was so close my social worker would call &amp; tell me I left my patio door open at times. and yet it has been 8 years next month I have been fighting to get my kids, while in transition apartment I was in a car accident &amp; was unable to care for myself or my kids and since cps was already involved they felt it necessary to detain my kids again until I recovered or at least thats what was said at that time, needless to say with out my kids I no longer qualified to live in transition apartment so I became homeless therefore I was denied my kids and just 1 thing after the next until I finally had a time line of reunifying with my kids about 3 years ago that was when accusations of abuse by me were made and I at first upset thought ok this is the last thing they can possibly try to stop me with since I passed the 5 years of B.S. they already put my kids &amp; I through so I was then prepared to fight my final battle or so I thought. accusations were made 3 years ago finally dismissed 1 1/2 years ago due to my lack of being willing to plea bargain to false allegations that were determined unsubstantiated almost from the begining of being accused, yet I was not able to see or speak to my middle son for the first year &amp; a half of this battle and I just recently Oct 08 was finally able to see and speak to my youngest after almost 3 years of not being able to see or speak to him only communication between him and I were letters I wrote and sent faithfully every week to him although he only received 1 every few months at least I know I tried all I could to under the circumstances... so I understand your frustration and I wish you well and the best of luck in your fight,  I know I WILL NEVER GIVE UP FIGHTING FOR MY KIDS ONLY MY DEATH COULD STOP ME...</description>

		<description>Dear Melissa, 
I hope you will be reunited soon with Destiny. In my case, it has taken now 2 years to the date and I&#039;m still fighting.</description>

		<description>After reading all the comments, it seems that the problem is not DCF itself, but the people they have put in charge of making the decides in the begining. In my case the investator was the people that starts the ball rolling and everyone else go along with whatever is written down. I have talked to,written to,e-mailed,faxed to everyone that has anything to do with my case. Everytime the answer is I am sorry Ms. Holton,but we have to go along with what is written down. It doesn&#039;t matter that the statements are false, it doesn&#039;t matter that my little girl and I can only see each other twice a month and she is failing in school because of all this. It just matters that DCF can not admit they were wrong. I am 51 years old, I have raised 4 other children. In my 51 years I have never had a DUI, or never been arrest for drugs, I have passed every drug test that they have given me, but still after 4 months Destiny and I are still not together. I wish someone would tell me how a stranger has the right to break up my family just because someone made up stories about me. Then in other case that really need the children removed they seem to be blind.  HUMAN BEINGS MAKE MISTAKES. Who do they answer to     Melissa Holton, Middleburg,Florida</description>

		<description>See the San Diego Grand Jury review from 1991.  It&#039;s amazing that 17 years later, the system is still out of control</description>

		<description>Aimee:

My dear, you may not have seen hard times.

Life for many families is not a vine covered cottage with a white picket fence and flowers blooming.

Your motives sound good, but often it is more productive to buy the young niece clothes, and books and keep her aware that there are good angels everywhere.

It is temptingly easy to criticize---because we can ALL IMPROVE, but harder sometimes to support.

If you truly wish to help, ask your family to send the child to you, gratis.

That is what family is for.</description>
