FightCPS does not advocate or condone violence or illiegal activities of any kind.
FightCPS is intended to help people learn enough about the law to be able to successfully defend themselves and their families against false accusations using legal documents and strategies that put parents in a stronger position when they go back to court.
For more information, see the FAQ.
Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.
Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.
Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.
Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.
Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.
CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.
Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.
It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.
Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.

I’m losing the battle…due to outright lies by DHS. I’m not even clear why my daughter was removed from me on 2/17/07. As the case progresses, it gets worse. Her “therapist” has cultivated trust issues with my daughter towards me. I am now not allowed to even have phone contact with her.
I am seeking legal representation to sue the Larimer County CPS.

My grandson was kidnapped on July 18, 2008 by DHS. They are terminating her rights on Aug. 18, 2008. They want him for the Adoption Inncentive Bonus program. They have told lie after lie and now they have doctored a drug test to make it look like she is smoking marijuana. I can prove that the test has been doctored but can’t get any help.

My son and I have been trying to get his girls out of fostercare for nine months. my son did not abuse his daughter. missouri cps knows this I in the last 2 weeks fournd out that CPS and others labled the abuse incorrectly it should have been abuse1 yet labled abuse the prosecutor after my many calls looked at the file he was so mad he personaly filed the paper work and took it to the court house to have the abuser arrested. CPS according to the prosecutor had no legal reason for placing the girls in fostercare instead of the dad. I as the paternal grandmother intervened.

I am the mother of two beautiful autistic boys. I filed a workers compensation case against Solano County and i feel that the county has retaliated against me by falsely accusing me of child neglect. They have placed my children in Foster care in seperate placements, and they have self injurious behaviors that have increased since they were removed from my home. Please help my sons return home with our family. Thank You

Need to consult a lawyer re filing a case against CPS harrassment. My name is Jerry Cavada and a resident of marina del rey california.
Comment by Jerome Cavada — August 6, 2008 @ 12:57 pm
I have a temp. custody order in oregon where the father was suppose to go through safety matters for visitation. CPS wrote a letter in support of this because they believed father to be a danger. After the judge signed an order stating visiting remains as ordered or per written parenting plan by DHS, the worker calls on a friday and says the father gets a home visit the next day supervised by his mother, whom I expressed concerns about. She wrote a parenting plan for that date, can she do this? What if the grandmother tries to pick up the child this Sat. Do I have to let the child go as the plan was dated for 8/2/08 not 8/8/08. What are my rights. Both father and grandmother have alcohol and drug abuse in the past and now.

My daughter gave her one year old daughter a bath and gave her to her boyfriend to get her diaper and clothes out of the car. He stupidly sat her on the hood of the car on a 100 degree day, the towel had slid off of her butt. She sustained burn on her buttocks only. My daughter is being accused by cps of burning her in hot water ever though there are pics of the skin on the car.
Comment by Sandra Williams — August 8, 2008 @ 12:06 pm
CPS has taken all of my children because of false allegations of the mother and constant neglect by her. They have teamed up against me to keep my children away from me, CPS, Assistant Attorney General and the Jugde, who at my hearing told me I was wrong because I refused to accept CPS services of evaluations. So they kidnapped my children from my home without a warrant and threatened to take me to jail for obstructing justice, I reminded them of my 4th amendment right and the courts as well. They say it doesn’t count here, who has rights to our children, the state or the parents, the outcomes would show the state has assummed it has more power than parents, look at their actions. Now CPS is telling my girlfriend she has to move out my house because of my other children being taken because she has a baby girl. They told her to get an order of protection on me even though we are fine and we have no domestic violence or issues at all, only issue is CPS’s invasion of privacy.

My grandson, age 3, was removed from the home by CPS in Plano, TX because he wandered from his home. Unfortunately, this was not the first time.
Daughter seen her son for the first time today (8/8/08) in almost 3 weeks and she said he didn’t even seem to know her.
He was not himself. She thinks he is being drugged.
Daughter was supposed to meet with her CPS caseworker, but, caseworker was in court all day.
Daughter has another son (6 months) in the hospital that due to being bi-polar/post-natal depression, she made a comment about a “vision” she had been having.
Daughter needs an attorney. Unfortunately, being a single mom, she cannot afford to come up with a lot of money.
Anyone out there that can give her legal help either pro bono or on a sliding scale.
We, the boys’ grandparents want the boys, a family friend has offered to take them in until they can go back to mom, however long that takes.
CPS will not answer our calls, messages, etc.
Our “baby” needs to be with family…not strangers!
Please…someone…help!
Comment by Barb Grobe — August 9, 2008 @ 3:54 am
Note to above…
The reason the infant is in the the hospital, is because he is a miracle baby, born @ 26 weeks 1 day. He weighed 2lbs. 2 oz. and was 12 3/4 inches long.
Due to baby having to of course, grow, he recently had a tube inserted into his tummy for nourishment because baby does not like to drink from the bottle and when he does, he throws it up…anyway, the incision needs to heal.
Upon visiting with the social worker at the hospital the other day, she said she had also been in touch w/CPS in Plano, and no calls her back, etiher.
She does know that the CPS case worker that removed the 3 year old grandson was due to have her own baby any day, her cases have been shifted to co-workers, and some of those cases had been shifted…I am so afraid my grandson is going to get lost in the system.
Please, help…

Comment by percidus — August 9, 2008 @ 11:20 am
I just want to say that the Solano County CPS, Yolo County CPS are two of the worst Child Protective Services around.
The C
PS workers take kids away from parents with out doing a right investagation, they do not do the job right, they lie, they never have the facts, they right up a fast repost and they think not of the injustice done. When things come out in court and it is seen that the CPS workers did not do the job right and kids should not have been taken they blackmail the parents, holding a child as the reward to the parents stateing that the parents can get the child back ASAP and have all right again, if the parents sighn a case plan. I wish I would have gave the CPS a fight and I know I would have won and they also knew if I did fight that I would win but they had the upper hand, I did not have the money and most important they had my child and they seen that I would do anything just to be with my child even if I had to swallow my prid, I did not care about the case plan and I still would have done it the same just so I could get my son back, Thank God, I have my son.
I know other parents have been done wrong by Solano and Yolo county CPS and I wish something would set things right and stop the wrong that is done to parents and kids and the wrong is done by the Solono County, Yolo County CPS.
IT IS NOT RIGHT, My son stoped talking when the CPS took him and put him in a foster home and he was not eating and his health was fadeing and they seen it ans even talked to me about it, but they did not care due to the fact they seen what was happening to my son and they still left him in the same foster home and I think that right there is what CPS should not do, they took my son and put him in danger and they seen it and seen my son had stoped talking and my son was at the age where talking is a big part of tjhere life and he was just starting to talk real good but the CPS put a stop to that when thay took him away.
Sorry this is so long but I had to say someting in hope that the SOLONO county CPS will have something done to it that will make people see how they are not legal, not right, and how they do not care about a child and about the parents who are good and who love there child.
Sometimes the best thing is not to take a family apart, thats not the way you fix things and even more so, when youu take things apart that should not have been taken apart.

ARM YOUR SELF WITH THE( BIBLE) GET INTO YOUR WORD IF U WANT TO GET RID OF THE LEGION OF SIN ONCE AND FOR ALL. PRAY IZ THE KEY ANSWER, YOUR PRAYERS WILL GO UP AND YOUR BLESSINGS WILL COME DOWN.

Comment by KIM CHRISTIAN — August 9, 2008 @ 11:37 pm
To Whom It May Concern
We are looking for some advice, guidance and/or representation in hopes of reuniting our family. CPS in Orange County took custody of my daughter based on allegation of abuse by my husband, her step father, in Dec 2006. Custody was given to her biological father in Jan of 2007. When CPS finally decided they should interview other children in her father’s homes, her father fled the state. He left my daughter in the custody of her maternal grandfather. Shortly after her father’s hasty exit from the state, I was once again given custody of my daughter. After a very lengthy and expensive trail I was force to sign a settlement before the court ruling. I had just been diagnosis with cancer and need to start chemotherapy. On the stand during the trail, my daughter admitted that she had lied; however, I just didn’t have the strength to continue to be bullied and manipulated by CPS and the system. I needed to focus on my health issues and get CPS and the court out of our lives. Part of my agreement with the court was that my husband agreed to sign a civil restraining order; however, he was not allowed to have representation in the court. I agreed to have my daughter in therapy with a psychologist outside of the system. These were things we intended on doing and felt needed to be done at the time. We also believe it would end the invasion of CPS in our lives and I could focus on my health and my daughters well being. Only later did we find out that CPS did not intend on leaving us alone and continued to harass us for several more months. I was forced to sign a voluntary agreement with them. We were told if I did not sign the agreement, they would take my child and re-file charges to get me back into court to force me into an agreement. Under threat of my child being taken again while undergoing chemotherapy treatments, I really had no choice but to sign the voluntary agreement with them. I no longer had the energy to fight them. Unfortunately, we did not know what their true intention was, if we did, we would have never signed the settlement in court.
My 11 year old daughter has been in therapy for over a year now and it is clear to the therapist that no abuse by her stepfather has ever taken place. My daughter, as well as her therapist, would like to start conciliation with my husband. My husband and I would like that very much but want to make sure we do it correctly. We do not want to put my daughter in any jeopardy of being taken again by CPS. My husband and I have followed every letter of the agreement, even in the most difficult of situations during with my illness. We are looking for some guidance to see, that within this crazy system, if it is at all possible to start reunification.
We know from being in the system, CPS and the courts are able to do whatever suites them, with no consideration for what is in the child’s best interest and with no accountability. My husband and I are committed to see this through. We will wait out the additional 2 years on the restraining order if necessary. My husband has been the father figure in her life since she was a baby, nobody involved believes waiting is in my daughter best interest, unless it puts her in danger with CPS. My husband, my daughter and I are all in individual therapy with experienced therapist, 2 of which are PHD’s. Will the courts listen to the experts or is it all about what the untrained CPS workers want? If we have to wait out the 2 years on the restraining order, what happens then? Is reconciliation possible? Is there a way to reunite my family?
I have now completed my cancer treatments, and praise God, am now cancer free. We pray that God will guide us in this endeavor and help show us the correct path to take. I really believe ifs it God will we will be able to once again be together as a family.
Thank you for your consideration,

I am not an attorney so I can not give you legal advice, But I can direct you to different options that may or may not work.
If I were you and if, as you say, your daughter is willing, I would investigate your state laws and consider hiring an attorney -not a Guardian Ad Litem for your child. A GAL is a guardian, taking on a parental role, so to speak. An attorney for the child is a different thing altogether. An attorney for the child may draft and file motions etc. A proactive advocate.
You might start by contacting any University Law School Clinics in your area. Also, although, thank God, you are now free of cancer, reach out to any and all cancer victims and/or survivor organizations for help.
Cast a wide net.
CPS is a terrible entity. If they would only play by the rules, maybe some good would be done. But they do not play by any rules, not even the Constitution.
My heart goes out to you and your family for having to have endured so many troubles.

Same old story. Need help of an attorney to fight Kern County, California CPS and DHS. My daughter has been ill since 2003, and is required to wear a “Pain Patch” on her arm at all times. She had an emergency “C” section in early 2007 to deliver her third child. The hospital did a drug test and found narcotic type drugs in her blood. It was from the patch, but they notified CPS, who acted before they had the facts. Now her children are gone because they think she is a drug addict. Never mind the fact that she was under a doctor’s care prior to the C-section, and was drug tested on a regular basis. All test were negative. She has had numerous drug tests since the babies birth, and all have been negative. When CPS found out that they made a mistake, they did not back down. Instead they created more false accusations to justify what they did. You can not talk with them, or reason with them. The last year and a half have been pure Hell for us all. There is so much more to the story, but I think you have heard it all. It should be an easy case to win. NO attorney in Kern County wants to get involved. All accusations have already been shown to be false, but still they won’t quite. I am currently talking with the ACLU, Senator Roy Ashburn’s office, and the State Attorney General’s office. But it takes so long to get anything done. I am afraid that my daughter will not survive this terrible injustice. She sure could use some legal help. As with the others, she is dirt poor, and now abandoned by her husband. Please contact me at the above address if you can help!

I need legal advise on fighting a false CPS claim. A woman filed a false report on me because I sold a puppy she wanted to someone else. She’s never even seen my kids and only the outside of my house. She didn’t give her name to CPS, so they won’t help me. But I know that her phone records would show she placed a call to them on the date of the incident. Is there anyway I can demand they check her phone records?

I have been lied to, deprived of basic rights, reused equal any and all rights by DCSS and the Monterey county Courts.
Becasue of the Department of Child Care Services in Montrey Calif, I have been descriminated againist, refused council–or they refused to work with counsel I hired 7+months ago, so he quit, and they know I am disabled. I was made to sign false statements, stolen from, and DCSS of Monterey county has STILL NOt given a MODIFIATION-disabled sine April 2007.
Without question the court, since 2002 (original order) has shown “No Proof” of any reasonable or sound judgement skills, Can Anyone Help ME? I live in Texas but case in Monterey county California. I have much documentation backing “every single statment made below” All statements below; and I have more, can be proven beyhond any doubt.
I have been harmed, medically, emotionally, and financially, and now mentally. I have another Telephone hearing 08-19-08- there is so much more like HIPPA violations being broken againigt me by DCSS complaint resolution worker recently, (she started calling off my medical records asking my Physicians offices’ questions-after I filed records with court, etc.Heck, 1 physician had to write a note to berify I was a patient and verify his signature was valid on a medical record. Of course I was called by the physician. I need help. There is so much more..
Facts: NO MODIFIATION (16-months after sending documents of public assistance, disability medical proof records,and benefit application infomation over 9x to DCSS and state agencies)..Here is a brief on events in short.
Divorced 12-98 (joint custody I was - CP till 02/2002) so, this case did not involve a divorce directly, the divorce was a few years prior, i was the CP till 02/2002. (nasty custody suit)
On 02/2002, A Calif. Resident; however income was Presumed because I WAS on Welfare (food stamps and Medical).. yet ordered to pay based on income of over 5,000 mo. File 9k on tax ret. year, 7k year before. Where they got 5k was beyond me.
From 02/2002–CP and I had signed agreements, which I abided by paying in FULL each month
NCP paid as agreed from Jan-02 to March 2008 because even he knew I did not make enough to cover order.
04/2007 was terminated- Disabled-Back on Texas Welfare system- Food stamps. Medical not offered to adults in Texas.
10/2007- simply ran out of money, Short Term Disability Pmts ended long before, I simply could not pay the full agreed as I had been- Requested CP lower support 10/2007- CP went DCSS, DCSS requested Increase of support not decrease, even after I explained I was unemployed now for 7-months.
10/2007- NCP receives from DCSS “Past Due in Support” Notice of $700.00? (Remember, I am current, I do NOT owe any past due, and I have ALL receipts; which I provide over 9x to DCSS)
10/2007-11/23/2007- Faxed, cert. mailed x (4) termination, welfare, including, Income & Exp, and all pmt receipts, I request Audit on account, and accounting report.
10/2007-”I” NCP- Mailed DCSS-My full audit of all payments from 2002. To this date-they have never provided an accounting report- They either do not have one or have refused.
11/2007-”I” hired Council in home state, who practiced Calif. Law for Modification.
11/2007- Current on payments, yet still getting Now DCSS states I am: “Past Due of about 1,200″ and I am now back to paying the court order amount; therefore, I am NOT past due.
11/2007-02/01/2008 (Texas Council completed Modification papers, mailed certified to DCSS, and court Attorney; however both entities REFUSED and 3-weeks later ALL papers were returned. Texas Council, then faxes DCSS; they acknowledge receipt, but in apparently lost the papers in April.
12/2007- 11/2007- Current on payments, yet still getting “Past Due Notices-Still stating I owe over 1,200″. I still am making each months payments.. I am NOT past due on anything.
02/08/2008- NCP Council Quit. DCSS “County of Monterey just would not respond to letters, calls or faxes now from hired council.
02/2008- DCSS states to NCP regarding the “Past due Fees of about 1,200;” CP will waive all “Past due fees” if I will sign a stipulation, I state, “I’m not past due, and tell them to update their records, and send them a full audit from my records again. DCSS mails me, NCP letter stating that I may have a credit-This is their (4th) letter since October stating their conducting an audit on the account.
ON 04/08/2008- AFTER WRITING GOV. OFFICE.I have everyone involved on this from Sacramento- to Monterey..Still Monterey has NO accounting Report, and refuses to produce one, states CP only has to “state-money past-due” but needs no proof. I have ALL the proof, all the recipes; however DCSS is not documenting any of my payments, or receipts. DCSS mails me a (5th) letter since October stating their conducting an audit on the account, and the account is now placed on HOLD.
04/2008- NCP, then Receives “Notice of Motion” from DCSS requesting increase in support, they want to deduct the 46.00 I have in my bank account, and they are requesting I place insurance on child. I call them and write them as well, I state-”I have (1) child myself here, I have (2) Surgeons letter and medical records indications I need surgeries, I am currently disabled myself, I am not getting the proper medical care I need; therefore, I will be damned if I pay for a secondary for my son fully covered with a co-pay of 10.00 through his father”.
04/28/2008- DCSS states now Past Due over $15,000. I Receive Stipulation from DCSS; their declaration has many errors and misrepresentations, I request they fix, DCSS Refuses.
04/2008- NCP: I call to inform them that their declaration is grossly mis-stated in many places. In fact, the declaration DCSS submitted to the court was 80% false. Heck, I showed I had a credit w/ CP, not owed. I request DCSS correct their mistakes, misrepresentations, and errors. ( I was told NO-DCSS refused to fix any misrepresentations or errors).
DCSS also sets COURT DATE-06/17/08..
04/2008- I, NCP file as “In per Pre” Reply to Motion, as well as: Request for original order to reviewed, based on Presume income.
04/2008: Find that DCSS Never placed account on hold, which is in writing. I was Lied to. In Fact, out of the 1,440.00 I was to receive on my refund they took-$737.00 to cover 2007 delinquencies, and dispersed to CP. I have PROOF I was NOT behind nor delinquent in ANYWAY in ANY months through 2007. I will swear on the bible..I don’t need too I have Proof, and I provided this over (9x) to DCSS. I also have either postage recipes or fax confirmations they received this information.
04/08: DCSS stated Tax confiscation was an error, but nothing they could do anything-DCSS showed I owe money.
04/2008: I demand on an accounting report and a FULL AUDIT. They refuse to provide one.
05/2008: Now, DCSS continues reporting late and past due, however now I should have a HUGE CREDIT.
05/2008: DCSS Now takes Stimulus payment of $900.00, and given to CP.
05/2008: Now: I should have massive CREDIT.right..? DCSS refuses to do anything about the payments still from 2007 .There is just so much to all this..I have everything.
DCSS is using WRONG ORDER: “I” NCP, informed DCSS that they are also going by incorrect court order.There was the original filed March 31, 2002 and a Modification filed by CP on 12/2002. They are using the 1st.
DCSS stated- “It was my responsibility to put the correct order in their hands, as they do not go by the most recent orders-they only go by the most recent provided”. ( I have this in writing too)
05/2008: Managing Attorney for DCSS: e-mails me: States, Audit will be performed, Account IS on hold; please remember, I have been told the account would be audited fom October, and Account was on hold since April. ( I have this in writing too) I also have in writing from the managing attorney, they are correcting my CREDIT REPORT. ONLY when this case is settled it will be determined whether I owe, had owed, whether CP owes me money back, or were at a zero balance.
DCSS has reported to all (3) Credit agencies going back to 2002, now reflecting on credit report I, was 30 days late in March. (I e-mailed them asking how can this be-as I showed a credit)?? I was e-mailed back by Managing Attorney NOTHING would be reported on CREDIT, and they would fix until this case was 100% settled.
DAY I LEFT TO DRIVE TO CALIF. FOR COURT. (RECEIVED IN MAIL FROM DCSS)- on 06/14/2008 a filed motion from DCSS to the court requesting that Neither my “Reply and Motion” or my “Request for Mod-based on Presume income” be looked at. I literally got this as I was pulling out of my driveway to drive the 1720 miles to Calif.
COURT DAY- COURT GRANTED DCSS request.Nothing I submitted was even looked at. Not one of the (8) papers marked “MOD” by DCSS, the Hold they said they placed on the account, the fact, DCSS had ruined my credit yet no accounting report had been done, the fact, I was on Welfare back in 2002, the fact, I was on welfare “now” and disabled..
NOTING was looked at, The judge told me to get a job-and MOVE. No one heard me. (MOVE-I am disabled and on Welfare-I was on welfare back in 2002 when order was set-Judge did not look at 1-piece of paper)
NEW COURT DATE: JUDGE SETS TELEPHONIC HEARING FOR AUG. 19TH 2008.
06/2008: I In court-Per Judge told to Provide current Dr. Report or Get a job working 40+ hours a week. DCSS stated, “Report was “old.” Fact was, it was less than 1-week old, and judge would not even look at it. So, come back home go to Dr. and Provide report to DCSS within 1-week.
06/2008- send faxed copy to DCSS of Court Dr. Form. Dr. mailed original. (turns out DCSS refused to submit to the court; therefore, I sent this to the court with Telephonic hearing request- w/ declaration.
06/2008: I-NCP wrote all (3) credit agencies requesting they remove the negative reporting based on the letters and e-mails from both Complaint resolution and managing Atty at DCSS, stating the “holds” and NO credit reporting should take place.
07/24/08: Credit Agencies contacted by DCSS; DCSS refused to remove and confirmed all negative reporting, and refused to correct erroneous reporting. TransUnion and Equifax spoke with Managing atty.
06/28/2008- NCP- I am still requesting DCSS modify Stipulation to show accurate information, I am told, “We are changing nothing, you either sign it or you don’t. If you do not sign it you owe CP over 15,000-if you sign it your balance will be zero through April 2008.”
06/2008: I replied: stipulation is STILL incorrect, I beg for them to correct the errors for my signature; furthermore, DCSS added to stipulation I release them from all financial, emotional, and physical harm. I stated they fully knew the information was clearly incorrect. It was sent e-mail back, “We will not respond to you no further, and we will make-no revisions”
07/23/2008: Signed Stipulation: Mailed on 07/23/08.
08/01/2008: Received Credit Alert: DCSS has reported again In July and now again on 08/04/2008.
Above ALL: I STILL HAVE NO MODIFICATION.16 months later after I was declared disabled and can seem to get no help. I am now in jeaporty of losing my home as well as other “trickle down effects” from the retaliation, descrimination, and theft of my civil rights.
CP refuses all joint custody visitation rights.
My Re-finance fell through due to credit derogatory’s on credit report from DCSS
Student Loans were denied-Now, all 3-years gone and cannot find funds to finish 4th years.
My son, who is 17, and lives with, has suffered from this.
DCSS stole my Tax refund-Stimulus pmt; designated for Home and Car Ins.
DSCC Refuses to provide accounting report: Fact is, I have PROOF, I was NOT behind, even thru current date.
What has happened to me is horrible and I cannot get them to stop! Your Reply is greatly appreciated

I am in need of a CPS lawyer in Wayne County Ohio. I have been under investigation because my mother-in-law called and told them my house was filthy and that my daughter, who is Deaf, did not wear her hearing aids enough. She wants my children and hates me.
After they came out and basically said they just needed to check my house one more time (due to clutter on my entertainment system) she called them again and gave them information from my kids daycare file (she works there…they do not go there now) about a diaper rash, my daughter’s hair not being combed on a few occasions (I was working and one of her teachers told him she would do it for him), and other seemingly mild things. Oh, and they said they were concerned because we do not vaccinate our children.
Now, they said I will be getting paperwork stating that they are seeking temporary custody. I am so scared. I am a good mom and I love my kids very, very much.
Someone please help!

Without probable cause…a phone tip from a drug dealing neighbor, caught by my daughter….My grand kids were taken by Bucks County Pa. 10/18/07
from day care.Fabricated lies, and evidence has kept them in foster care, with adoption as a secondary plan IF my daughter doesn’t follow their plan which is full of catch 22’s. Civil rights violation for starters, with so much more. Refusing me foster kinsmanship without checking me out at all?

I really would like to know what the lawyers are going to do about the families who already have lost their children. A young woman who gives birth to a healthy baby is precisely what it is (a healthy baby). So, I just want to make sure people comprehend what I am saying. So, I really would like to know what the lawyers are going to do for couples who lost their babies at birth because they gave birth to a healthy baby. What are the lawyers going to do for the grieving aunts and uncles who weren’t allowed to have custody. Why should that selfish, selfish, arrogant, good for nothing adoptor have his happiness at our expense????? Why did that “foster mother” who knowingly knew that she wasn’t interested in raising my nephew till he was 18 continue to stick her nose in our business. Why didn’t you just keep your nose to yourself????

I am divorcing my abusive husband. He was abusive to me mentally and physically. He gets so mad when things done go his way that he will punch pretty much anything in his path. When my 4 year old daughter didnt listen to what she was told he would spank her so hard that it would leave hand prints on her legs and her back. When she was tucked in for the night, she was playing around and kicking the bedroom wall. His mom pounded back on her wall because it made her mad so he went in her room and I had put 2 ponytail braids in her hair, Well he literally picked her up by her hair. That is just 1 instance in the entire thing. I got tired of it all and I met someone that would take me and my daughter in. He got mad & made up false accusations about me and took it to CSD. Because the house wasnt spot free like they think it should be. They took my daughter from me. They made up stories about me exposing my daughter to a sex offender but there was no sex offender here. The CSD worker totally violated my rights. I have done nothing wrong to warrant my daughter getting taken away from me. My husband went as far as telling CSD that he got a letter in the mail saying that I was on Heroin to get back at me and to take my daughter away. Now I cant find a lawyer that isnt working with CSD. I am not going to play there game. I am going to fight this as hard as I can. I just need help so I really need a good lawyer. I am also launching a full on suit against CSD for what they are doing. They really did make things up to get my daughter away from me because my husband told me that if I took my daughter away from him, then I would never see her again. This is killing me inside. I need my daughter back & REALLY need to get her out of that situation. PLEASE HELP.

In regards to my last comment. I have already gone to court once & the judge awarded my daughter to the state but let her stay with her dad. I have to do what I can to make sure that she is in my care and that she is safe. I have done nothing to deserve losing her. I cry everyday because I dont know whats happening to her. I cant even call her because he wont let me talk to her but yet he keeps on sending harrassing emails and phone calls after the judge told him to knock it off. I am going to fight them but I really need help with this.
Comment by Kandra — August 16, 2008 @ 2:16 pm
I need help. CPS has waged war on me. I am an educated single parent whose only crime is being overworked. They could find no evidence that my children were ever physically abused, never psychologically abused, and never mistreated or neglected. My partner is very sick and we argue because… because he is frustrated and we can never even make a plan for months in advance because it is likely he will not be around. Because they invaded my home and questioned my very influential 5 year old, they placed my childrens father in my home ( a house i own on my own) and have taken the opportunity for a successful career away for me. All due to arguements, which my partner underwent counseling for grief and other issues and many of the problems have stopped. I am looking for a lawyer that can protect me and my children. I worked in a group home when I graduated college and my children do not belong in a place where they can be abused physically and emotionally.

we are now being charged with neglect, and have to start going to court as of wed aug 20th ,08, we got the papres reguarding this whole matter on the 14th.there are 32 allegations , mostly bs things added in, with no proof ect,and some things in the afidavit are completely false or exaggerated of course. can anyone help us ? what I find strange is the one sidedness of all this , for example there is no advocate a person that is on OUR side to come to our home, and help us . to be OUR witness ect. my email chicklettes6@aol.com

Comment by fern — August 17, 2008 @ 11:26 am
I am still interested in filing legal action against Child Protective Services in the State of Texas. My first experience with CPS was when I was 17 years old (a minor). The emotional trauma that I suffered because of this experience was traumatic. I did not understand how society could allow CPS to simply waltz into a family’s life and disrupt a family and worse kidnap a child out of her elementary school. She was my younger sister. This incident began because my mother was arguing with the elementary school principal in regards to her younger daughter’s education. He wanted her in special classes. With the help of police officers; an emergency court order was issued and my younger sister never came home that night. I did; to parents who were upset and crying. I was stunned and shocked. The anger that I felt towards CPS for invading our peaceful existence in such a horrific manner and attacking peacful parents was unbelievable to me. I was not spanked nor was I abused in any way shape or form while growing up as a child. I worked hard as a child due to poverty but I also had a wonderful time in concentrating on the positive aspects. I was not exposed to drugs or alcohol either as a child in my parent’s home. Nothing compared to the horror of being victimed by an agency of the United States Government. In self defense, my father did the only act that any father would do; he took his daughter back on a visit and fled the United States. CPS jailed my mother until he returned back to the states. I along with my twin sister and my younger sibling became parentless and now I became a breadwinner of the family. What was stunning to me was the fact that we were treated as if we did not exist. I was taking care of a six year old and fending for myself and nobody cared. CPS did not offer us an attorney. CPS did not offer food or any monetary compensation whatsoever during the short time we were left parentless. When my father eventually came back I told him how they had jailed my mother and now she was on a hunger strike. My father then turned his youngest daughter back to CPS. This was the only way to bring the family back together. This story happened over thirty years ago. My father is deceased and my younger sister is one of my best friends besides being my sister. I am glad my parents fought for us. In some ways, I am glad that CPS and the judge chose to ignore us as probably this is what was best for us. What I don’t forgive is how our family was treated with total disrespect. As the years have gone by I never thought about hiring an attorney because I was to busy raising my own family; but I was never able to forget what took place. I still would like to file a negligence complaint against CPS for intentional child neglect and intentional emotional abuse against three minors. I also believe I should have been entitled to foster care payments for having to take care of a younger child which I certainly did any way without payment. However, the “foster parents” of today receive compensation and minors all receive attorney’s. I and the other minors in the family received not a single dime from noone. The internet was not available but we were to poor to have a computer even if it was in existence (1976). However, I still tried to tell the world to no avail. Sadly, this was not our families only experience. My oldest brother and his wife gave birth to the their first child. I remember growing up in poverty was rough and while I was concerned; never again did I believe that they again would simply waltz into our lives again; and simply take a healthy newborn infant (no drugs, no alcohol, no birth defects); nothing. And certainly, as the mother and father did nothing wrong; I at the very least did not feel they could ever come to the conclusion that they simply were going to give my niece to strangers and that again I would be ignored just like when I was seventeen again. I was not poor at the time and had a very nice home. I know in my heart that if my niece and nephew could have simply found their way to my doorsteps; I would help in taking care of them just as I had done with my younger brother. My nephew was born while my niece was living in foster care; they took him right from the hospital room along with the help of police officers and emergency court orders. So , you see in several instances there was no abuse or neglect (two healthy newborn babies and a healthy child). Ladies and gentlemen; this is not abuse. When people use these words together I get extremely sickened. When I listen to people there ignorance is very apparent to me. However, I realize that had I not experienced it first hand; I to may not have realized that peacful law abiding citizens do get victimized by Child Protective Services with yes, the help of police officers. I always thought we had rules of laws in this country and how is it that people who commit no crime are treated worse than people who actually commit a crime? I would like also like to file wrongful use of emergency court orders against the two states involved (gingood@comcast.net)

I need to find an attorney to sue C.P.S., and an organization called Warm, and pehaps some other people who have destroyed my family and my life.
My son, Steve and daughter-in-law Jeanene had their first born child taken away at birth directly from the hospital by C.P.S..in 1986. There were no charges of wrongdoing, they were a married couple in their 20’s. They were staying with me at the time.My husband (Steve’s father) and I were forbidden from helping Steve and Jeanene. We were not allowed into the hearings although I was mentioned in the hearings. I was arrested in connection with this case. (trespassing) My husband and I raised six children and our youngest at the time was an honor student in high school.After several years of living in several different foster homes; they were forced to sign their daughter away to adoption or face losing their son also who also had been taken away at birth directly from the hospital (no charges of wrongdoing). When she became 18, I tried to find her. I gave WARM $ 300, their fees for reunions. Instead I got a letter from my granddaughter threatening me with legal action if I continue to look for her.Neither me nor anyone else in my family has done anything to deserve this abuse. I need legal assistance.

I have been in the wrong side of the system for 4 years, I have done every thing that has been requested of me! How do you fight lies that are obviously concocted to destroy my creditability? I have never done drugs, Smoked a cigarette, or drank alcohol to excess. I have never neglected or abused my children. My biggest faults is being poor and handicapped! Why is the very system that is their to protect me destroying my family?….
Did not even have my children’s right names or the right address, yet they kicked in my door and took my children!
My children have suffered horrific abuse and neglect in the system! Where or who can I get help from?… (541)606-2462

My grandson was removed from my home after the judge said to leave him where he was. His mother had my grandaughters taken from her for leaving them unattended. I had my grandson in my care when this happened and he had been with me for 2 months prior to the incident. The state of washington is no saying that i have a shoplifting charge against me from almost 5 years ago i am a danger to my grandson. why didn’t they come get him 30 days ago. cps worker came to my house and found nothing wrong with my house. They say because i work at night its an issue of who will provide care then and when i am asleep. it looks as if they are searching for reasons to keep the three children in foster care. I know that this is a money-making agency. also thurston county is the most racist county in the state of washington. yes we are african-american. people make mistakes in their lives but when others continue to hold it against them whats the use of trying to change.

Catherine, look up “parental alienation syndrome” on the web. I had the same thing happen to me when one of my daughters turned 18. The other one reunited with me. Though they were raised together, they turned out differently.

when my daughter was 4 months old an extremely mentally ill “ex” crack addict called CPS on me and my fiancee saying we have no baby clothes or diapers, malnourish(breastfeed, which she didn’t believe in), neglect, scream at and shake our baby. CPS came and took her to the hospital (as we were on our way to a parenting class) and the hospital concluded there was no evidence of any abuse and that she was healthier than most her age as well as developmentally ahead, happier and more social. After a meeting at the CPS office it was determined that we have financial stressors (my fiancee has no job despite his efforts, the job market in Tucson is terrible,) and that we argue because of said financial stressors but the woman who reported us was likely nuts and that our home is a safe environment for the baby, we were allowed to take her back. We voluntarily accepted couples’ counciling in order to show we were cooperating. They told us to move to the other side of the complex, work on our communication and persue assistence from DES, we did. The toilet in the new apt. doesn’t work well, so we put in a work order for it, we’re still waiting. Frank has been fixing it himself.
The first counciling appt. was at 4 o’clock on a Tuesday, we had mistakenly scheduled it for 1 o’clock and when the case worker didn’t show on time (or what we believed to be on time) we called to ensure it didn’t get blown off. We made the next one on time and about that time our neighbor hired Frank (my fiancee) on with his drywall company. The company that did the steel framing for his first drywall project messed up and Frank’s start date was put on hold, this was two weeks ago, we’re still waiting. Our second (would-be third) counciling appt. was scheduled on a Wednesday, we again messed up and had it scheduled for Thursday. When they came knocking we were having sex and didn’t answer the door. We were bashful about it and told them initially we’d been out and they must’ve heard the TV, unaware they had pressed their ear to the door and heard us say “oh sh** CPS.”
They showed up again after I left with the baby to meet a friend and when I came back Frank told me we had to call, they were taking her again. We did as they asked and called. I understand their reasoning for taking her, that does look fishy from the outside perspective, but they never looked at the baby to determine if she was in fact in danger, which she wasn’t. At the next meeting they said the apt. was a health hazard (because of the toilet), we had failed to comply with our VOLUNTARY counciling, claimed we were about to be evicted (we were a little behind on rent but the manager told us and CPS not to sweat it unless another 2 months passed unpaid) and then were saying they think Frank has anger problems because of the message he left after the first “missed” appt., he’d sounded angry appearently, and they think I have depression because I’m quiet and “my affect is strange, and they’re worried I’ll teach Ginger (the baby) the wrong kind of affect.” They also said the lifelong muscle and joint pain I have is a symptom of depression, despite the fact that the pains are triggered by atmosphere and are worse in the morning and have nothing to do with my mood, which is generally up-beat anyway. The toilet is working now, but they’re ordering us to first have an income and to take psyche evaluations (I was diagnosed bi-polar as a minor because I told my mother I had been sexually abused and she told me I was crazy. The cousilors I’ve spoken too since disagree with the diagnosis and believe I deal with it exceptionally well.) The soonest psyche evaluation I can get is Oct. 2nd in 1 1/2 months and their attitude seems to be “oh well.” They say out of one corner of their mouth that we’re excellent and dedicated parents, but out the other that they’re worried because of the poor examples of parents we had. They seem to be digging for reasons to keep our daughter out of our care. Anyone who knows us will say we are happy, level-headed parents, a few have even called CPS to say so, but they keep bringing up more and more things, all untrue, that they didn’t see as an issue before. I really don’t know what to do, I’m complying with them but it never seems to be enough.

I have three little girls ages 7 5 and 18 months my father called cps on me to get back at my mother trying to keep me from letting her see them which has happened numerous times before by my mother but anyways my girls are very well taken care of have anything and everything they want well to get cps off of me i just signed them over to their father until the case was closed. cps did not want me to have any contact with them whatsoever and the father left them with me anyways well my mother found out and was calling in on me so on march 12 2007 cps in gregg county which is in longview texas took my children from me mona nolen was my sorry case worker. we tried to call family to take our girls but mona nolen refused to allow us to and said that it was too late for that. my girls were placed in foster care against our wishes and we had numerous family members that would have taken them till everything was settled well when we went to court a few days later it was put in our court documents that we were asked if anyone in the family would be willing to come get them and she was told no. which obviously is a lie since we were already calling people to come get them then she asked my sister in law that if the judge would allow it would she take them and she said yes but in court documents mona nolen said that she told her no she did not want my girls. anyways i have since gotten another case worker because they were removed. i have since completed all of the classes i was requested to attend and have done different evaluations but they still have not given me my girls back. my girls were finally removed from foster care about two months later and after everyone in our family being denied of being able to care for them except one person and we had alot of trouble allowing them to place them with her. i have done everthing i am supposed to do and they are still keeping my girls from me. i get weekly visits with my girls but every week the day of the visit they call and reschedule and it is always a different excuse sometimes it is two to three weeks before i actually get my visit with my girls. i really need some legal help and financial help to pay for the legal help because my girls want to come home and i want them home what cps does not realize is that they are not just messing with the parents they are also messing with these poor defenseless children that do not deserve any of this my girls badly need counseling now because of all of this we have never even been seperated for a week much less months that is fixing to turn into a year. if anyone has any information that will help me with my case or help me get legal help please contact me my email is chastitydavis1999 @ hotmail.com please contact me if you have any information whatsoever because i do not want to lose my children just because i dont know how to fight this or just dont have the finances to get them back my children never deserved to be taken in the first place the only type of neglect they could get me with is not disciplining my girls because they get away with everything because i was an abused child so i dont want to do the same thing to my children but there is nothing that they can say about me that can keep me from getting my children back because i have done everything that has been asked of me and have never abused or neglected my children

I am just like so many parents on this site.I it so sad.
I am losing the fight for my 6 yr. old daughter. CPS will not do anything to help, even though I provided them with pictures of her bruised bottom ( done by her father) and taped recorded verbal abuse. I have been accused by the father of being a drunk, abusive and he filed a restraining order against me that was false. ( He won) CPS believes him not me. I hired an attorney in San Mateo,. Ca to help modify child custody arrangements. he took the $2800 and did nothing to help, accept charge for answering e-mail that were why asking ‘why’ he wasn’t filing any motions.I cannot afford to hire another attorney.I feel the whole su=ystem has let me and my daughter down. I am looking for an attorney who will help me pro-bono. Please…anyone, I’m so desperate. I can be reached at 650-834-6060. Please, I am begging for help. I do not know what to do.My little girl is sleeping with her father, and she woke up one night and saw him watching porno.I reported this to CPS and again they refused to intervene. The father, who is 50, and never married, has her so brainwashed, she does not even want to see me or talk with me, because he is filling her little mind, with so many lies. Please can anyone assist me, before it is too late,?

Need a reasonable divorce attorney with CPS experience. I have already hired a CPS attorney trying to turn over a “reason to believe” I physically abused my toddler son for checking myself into a hospital for postpartum depression. I do not want to disclose my exact location as I’m sure my investigators would love to let my husband know. He is aggressive, yells at me constantly and has started yelling at my child. However, I am in Texas and I have never been in such agony - stuck in an abusive relationship - with the abuser because CPS clamped down on me for being a good mother and getting help. Is there not a social service to help women like me. I am in hell. I guess when the knock comes we all are. I did not know all of this advice and “cooperated.” Now, I am branded a criminal. Good luck to you all. We will overcome. Please write your Lawmakers. Flood them with your letters. After the West Texas FLDS crisis, this has become a national issue.
I am in Texas. Please help me. Email me, God Bless your Angels. I will pray for you all.

My daughter was taken out of my care tonight at 6pm. They removed her when they knew my partner Kevin was at work and after 6pm; I feel they did this in order to prevent me from being able to call or contact any persons that could help me. 99% of the information in the report about my conduct is false nor does it have anything to do with my daughter. They based their removal of her (from my interpretation) on allegations from over 20 years ago about Kevin. I want to fight this. I have already set in motion for letters to be presented as to my character and ability to take care of my daughter and other children. My apartment manager and friend is going with me on Tuesday 8-26-08 to speak on my behalf. The only thing I am lacking is someone with legal standing in the community to take on my case. I thank you for your time and hope that you can help. Anything at all you can offer, be it advice or legal assistances would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your time.

Foster Care told me “A Social Worker told us people in your situation self-sabotage. But don’t worry: we are going to get her (meaning my infant daughter).” shortly thereafter, the male foster Care kissed my daughter on the lips in my presence.
My daughter was home after 10 months of Reunification services; I had an amxiety attack; my daughter was taken ; my parental rights were terminated. I am filing a writ of error coram nobis as I found out there was a meeting without my lawyers presence. Also, the Social Worker is somehow related to the foster care

Comment by KFreeman — August 24, 2008 @ 4:27 am
In July 2007 my abusive ex-husband and his wife called our local Department of Family and Children Services and made a false report against me. When DFCS came to our home to investigate the report of abuse and drug use, we informed them of the conflict of interest. My fiance’s sister was a case worker for that same DFCS and the aunt to two of my children. According to the GA Dept. of Human Resources guide lines, the case was NOT supposed to be investigated by that county when there was a conflict of interest but instead it was supposed to be sent to another county for investigation. They still investigated even though it was going against the DHR rules. After the illegal investigation, we never saw the case worker again until 08/30/07, my 25th birthday. The case worker came back to our home and told us “due to lack of evidence, and a clean drug screening there WOULD NOT be a case opened” we thought the nightmare was over but little did we know that it was just the beginning. Here is my heart breaking story of how two childless women along with my abusive ex husband were able to team up and use one of the women’s abilities as a case worker to conduct an ILLEGAL investigation and take four happy children from a very loving family in order to have them as thier own.
My fiance’s sister (the realitive case worker) was able to pull her weight as a case worker and keep the case from being sent to another county, even though it was going against DHR rules. She knew the children would remain with us if the case was sent to another county and her chance at getting her two nephew’s would be gone. On 09/04/07 I delivered a healthy 8lb 2oz baby boy. Another drug test was done, me and the baby tested positive for the horrible drug meth. I had NEVER done meth and couldn’t understand how this could happen. I later was told by the lead nurse at the drug treatment place that the OTC cold medicine I had been taking was an ingreidient used to make the drug and that was how me and my baby tested positive but it was too late, the damage was done. They took my children on 09/05/07. My baby was healthy and had NO signs of being a “drug baby.” I didn’t get to bring my baby home. He went with the realitive case worker, along with his older brother. The realitive case worker tried to say the baby went through withdrawls but what she described were very common, normal newborn reflexes. Things anyone who has children would know about. If my baby had withdrawls I’m sure the doctor wouldn’t have allowed him to leave the hospital. It makes me sick to know that me and my children have to go through this from OTC cold medicine used to make some stupid drug. The court papers were full of lies to cover up all the steps they had skipped. They even claimed they wasn’t aware of the conflict of interest, they claimed they were working with us to keep this from happening (remember the case worker only came to our home for the illegal investigation and again to tell us there was NO case) and they claimed that there WAS a case afterall. They placed two of my kids with my abusive ex husband and his (unable to get pregnant) wife and the other two with the childless realitive case worker. My oldest son has only known his dad and his dad’s side of the family since he was 4 years old, he just turned 7. He’s been with me and my family since the day he was born. So why did him and the baby go with the realitive case worker? Because the realitive case worker accused my family of making and supplying me with the drugs that I NEVER took. My parents who have seen their grandkids their whole lives haven’t seen them at all since 09/05/07 based on lies told by the realitive case worker. Since then I have gone 1-2 months at a time without seeing the two with my ex and on the days I do see them two, I see them at the same time that I see my other two. So, that’s 1 hour a week to visit with my four children, who always ask “Mommy, when can I come home? Why can’t I see Mema and Papa? They said I can’t ever live with you again” I haven’t even had the chance to bond with my baby who is almost 8 months old now and thinks the realitive case worker is his mother. I have missed birthdays, and all holidays since sept. I didn’t get to see or talk with my children on Christmas, imagine how that felt, not only to me but to them. They are 7, 5, 4, and 7mths. I don’t have ANY photos of the two with my ex husband, I don’t know about school or things they have been doing everyday. I only have one photo of my baby and none of my oldest (the two with the realitive case worker) but she has lots of new photos of them all over her walls. She doesn’t keep us updated on anything. When did my baby roll over? what was his first baby food? what was my oldest son’s grade on his first spelling test? Things get worse everytime we go to court. The realitive case worker lies about the visits and everything in-between to keep things from going forward and since she IS a case worker, the court believes her. They finally sent the case to another county but it doesn’t matter now. We have done everthing DFCS told us to do but they keep coming up with other stuff to add to it like due to my abusive marriage, I have PTSD and now have to see a thearapist for that before things can go forward. They gave two of my children to the man who caused me to have PTSD and Battered Womens Syndrome. How screwed up is that? I have passed ALL drug screenings and attended parenting and drug classes. DFCS has failed me and my children. They have allowed a childless case worker to lie and use her ability as a case worker to take our children as her own. I miss them and they miss me. I miss seeing them everyday. I miss the hugs, kisses, and the “I love you’s” PLEASE SOMEONE LISTEN, HEAR MY CHILDREN, HELP OUR FAMILY. This could be your family, don’t let it happen to anyone else.

Althrough complying with everything she was told to do, my daughter was forced by cps in Texas City to sign away her rights to her children. After researching everything THEY were supposed to do - her rights have been totally violated. Now, her children have been placed for adoption, and we need help fighting to get them back. The court appointed attorney did not help her, the case worker did not update her file as she was supposed to, and showed up at the hospital to take away her baby she was pregnant with. This is when she found out the other case worker who was dealing with her boys was not updating her file - nothing had been entered showing she was compliant! WE need help ASAP, the adoption will be final soon!! They will not even give her copies of paper work, or let her see the kids now. She was supposed to be able to see them every week… Please, call me at 503-310-6614, or email me.

folks. These are human rights violations. You need to gather up your courage, and either fight them individually in federal court or as a group and truly keep on coming. THe catholic church had to topple the old protection scheme based on this very ideology. Come on now. Quit telling your stories to us, and do something about it! My story would break anyone’s heart. But it aint going to make them stop. The Nazi’s marched the jews by the millions to their deaths despite the pleas and monas so why should we be any different? If we take it, we deserve it. I say rise up, file civil rights lawsuits, go to every human rights org you can find as well as the govt, and use the system’s own bulk and weight to shut it down. Did you all know it is illegal for the Govt to fund the violation of rights on a massive scale, and that the DOJ’s collusion with every state in america to illegally list the accused who have not had a hearing is such a serious violation that that alone is enough to justify class action lawsuit with an immediate injunction to cease and desist. DOJ, oxymoron if I ever heard one.

I need a lawyer to help me appeal a report “founded” that I maltreated or abused my child. I am living in Westchester, NY. I felt betrayed by the caseworker who used against me the information I was giving her.
Thank you

Please help me!! I need an attorney to fight for me and my children. I have been accused of neglect which they have no facts or proof of and yet my children still can’t come home. They have lied on every statement they have made and the court appointed attorney I have is doing nothing to help me. He says no matter what you will always be wrong when fighting them so just go with what they want. Why?? It’s not fair that I am not allowed to defend myself and prove that they are in the wrong in taking my children from me. Please help me!!

My grandkids were stolen from my daughter because she left my little grandson with a caregiver that sexually molested and abused him. After taking him to the doctor, the kids were removed from her home and sent to foster care. The charges are failure to protect and neglect. The abuser is awaiting trial but continues to be with his kids. DCFS has filed a petition for termination of parental rights and we are truly at a loss for fighting this. It just gets worse and worse. To top it off the abuser came to my daughters hosue and assulted her (he was charged), I’m sure it was retaliation and now they are accusing her of domestic violence even though she was protecting herself and the charges were dropped. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE someone help us! We have no where to turn, the court apponinted lawyer will not do anything except sit and agree with the case workers. I filed a complaint to the PCS ombudsmans office and the state admitted thier wrong doing, now they are retaliating and never going to let me or my daughter see the kids again. I just don’t know what to do. Someone must know how to stop this insanity! Thanks for reading my note. Kathy.

I am a mother of two children. My 4 year old was taking a nap and my 2 year old was laying down with me on the couch downstairs. She had fallen asleep and I stayed on the couch to cuddle with her. I dozed off for a little while, and my daughter and I were awoken by a knock at the door. My mother had come over while I was napping just in case she woke up before I did. I showed my mom out, and then I answered the front door. My two year old has a developmental therapist that comes once a week to work with her because she was born prematurely.
She stayed for her visit and then my case worker showed up to take my youngest to visit her father. About two hours later, she arrives with the police and they take my oldest. They said that the developmental therapist said I was asleep while my youngest was awake, therefore rendering her unsupervised. This is an untrue statement, and they took my children because of it. It doesn’t matter if I was asleep or not, my mother was over here, so therefore my child was still supervised.
I believe this is an infringement of my civil rights as a mother, and therefore need your help in this matter. I’m a single mother living in housing, so I’m not what one would call “rich”. If you could get back to me on this matter as soon as you can, it would be greatly appreciated. My court date is Tuesday September 2nd at 9am. Any information about what I can do to protect my rights would also be appreciated. Thank you for reading this, and I hope to hear from you soon.
I live in Terre Haute Indiana, and need help as soon as possible!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Phipps

Please help, I have posted here before and since faced my accusers in court with an attorney who did nothing to help my case but sit there falling asleep during the trial. I have since been waiting nearly 3 weeks for a response back from the judge all the while my 2.5 year old son has been away from me for over 3 months now and he is in a foster home where I barely see him an hour a week and then he is pulled away screaming for his mommy. I have been wrongly accuse of abusing a child that was in my care a few months ago. I was the only person investigated because the baby collapsed while he was in my care. The sad thing is there were other care givers (multiple) resposible for this child and I hadnt even seen him for 10 days prior to this. Also early on with this child I told his parents something was wrong with him. I have been doing childcare for over 20 years as a matter of fact I am still caring for children yet I cannot have my own.. Please there has to be someone out there who can help my family. There is a little boy and a 12 year old girl who wants nothing more then to be home with mommy and I would NEVER hurt or neglect my children, I am a wonderful mother. I live in Indianapolis IN please if anyone knows of anything I can do or anyone out there that can help me please contact me @ treznor@indy.rr.com or 317 752.6510

Crystal Lynn Malone-Murphy
505-863-9471
709 W. Mesa
Gallup, NM 87301
MY BABY AND FAMILY ARE BEING TORTURED BY A JUDGE, I NEED HELP. HE HAS PERMANTLY DAMAGED MY BABY GIRL AND MY SON
Dear precious little girl, I love you Nova and I am doing all I can to bring you home. I wish I could hold you again. I love you and miss you so much. Grandma and Brother miss you very bad little baby. We know you are scared and alone. I did not abandon you, the Judge took you from me. I am trying desperately to bring you home. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am praying to God you do not get hurt, I have no way of knowing.
Allegation .1
My Name is Crystal Lynn Malone-Murphy. I can not find help anywhere. My baby has been ripped away from all she knows and everyone she knows. She has been placed in the hands of the man who raped me and the man who sexually abused my children. This Judge gave no regards to my baby’s or my son’s physical, medical and emotional wellbeing just to punish me, (which he states in court by the way). She was breastfeeding and potty training and needed medical care and counseling for the abuse she and my son suffered by Mr. Nanez, his wife and his girlfriend. My baby never lived with this man nor did he pay child support.
(I never had any relationship with this man before the rape and only a very limited one for the baby and court afterward). This was done to me by a Judge as a personal vendetta. This Judge, on record violates his Oath of Office and the United States Constitution numerous times. This Judge went so far as to step out of his office of Judge and say he was having me arrested for civil contempt of court, stepping outside of his jurisdiction and immunity. When I said, you are violating my civil rights he said “SO SUE MEâ€. I told him he was hurting my baby and I know she is scared.
There is so, so much more and so much worse, it just keeps getting worse. First I want to say I have over 500 pages of evidence carefully collected and in chronological order, and everything is on record from the court tapes to personal tapes to 3 front page articles in our newspaper. He still sits on his bench and laughs while my baby, my grandmother, my son, and I suffer. I said, she is just a baby and she will be scared with out me, (she has not been without me and was breastfeeding) and she needs to be at her appointments. He said, that is your fault.
I am going to give you a brief history on me and my creditability. A list of who I have tried to contact for help, NO ONE will help me NO ONE. And in an attachment I will include just a few pieces of the most important evidence out of my almost 500 hundred pages and include the first newspaper article (I have not scanned the others yet). Also a shortened (as much as possible) chronological order of events. I am going to give you a brief (as much as possible) summary, about the most recent occurrences first to show you where I am in this, and what was done to me and my baby, then I will start at number one with the beginning of these events. This is also the third time the McKinley County Sheriffs Department has failed to obtain a service of court order on me in this case before taking action, or has tried to serve it the night before for court 500+ miles away.
MY HISTORY AND CREDITABILITY
1. I started college when I was 16. 2. From the time I was 17 until now I have been in some type of law enforcement. I went to the police academy at 17 with the understanding that I would start as an officer when I was 18. 3. I have been in the Military as Army National Guard for 9 years, most of the time, active Guard. 4. I worked at Arizona and New Mexico Men’s State prisons. 5. I worked at Holbrook, AZ jail and Gallup, NM jail. 6. I started in the Military as a JAG Paralegal, then Administrative Specialist, and next the State of New Mexico Security Clearance Manager, where I hold a current Secret Security Clearance. I am military PLS driver, Combat Lifesaver, and last a Military Police Officer. I have received many letters and awards. 7. I have 62 credit hours in college with most of those toward criminal justice. 8. I have a certificate of graduation for all of these and for the academy’s I attended. 9. I was the first female military C4I – Computer Command Control Communications Intelligence Specialist. 10. I was married to the State of New Mexico District Attorneys Medical and Criminal Investigator. I went with him on most of his calls and received an enormous amount of knowledge and training by accompanying him on these calls. 11. I have never been in jail or arrested for anything until this Judge did this to me for trying to desperately protect my baby and son. Not only from the abuser but also from the Judge, who wanted to take this little baby every single month, for 7 days a month, and turn her world upside down, ripping her from her family, her doctor, breastfeeding, potty training, her home counseling, and making her travel hundreds of miles, only to name a few. 12. I am currently a stay at home mother because I was hurt during my time as a corrections officer, I am fighting endometriosis and ovarian cysts, I am caring for my baby, home schooling my son, and providing care for my elderly grandmother.
MY SUMMARY
On August 13 2007 I filed a restraining order on Mr.Nanez after documented, harassment, stalking, threats to steal my baby and kill me, by the abuser, his wife and his girlfriend most incidences documented by police. The latest of all of these had occurred the day before, August 12, 2007 when the three of them went to Child Protective Services (CYFD) 12 times in one day and told them to take my baby away from me because of drug and alcohol abuse, giving the baby drugs and alcohol, excessive discipline, and physical abuse.
CYFD investigated and found Mr. Nanez, his wife and his girlfriend had sexually abused and exploited both the baby and my son. CYFD ordered counseling for my son and home visits for my baby. CYFD also said abuse on my part or drug and alcohol abuse were unfounded. My protection order was denied by Judge Aragon, even after the statement of rape, abuse, stalking and harassment, backed by police reports. Judge Aragon was the first one to fail to protect my baby and my family, because Mr. Nanez had also filed court papers to take the baby from me in his town (Las Cruces) and she did not even live there, (wrong jurisdiction) so the police came and got her, and without a return of service on the order and with out a DNA test or anything stating he was the father.
The Judge in his town saw the mistakes and ordered Mr. Nanez to give her back after she had been away for four days. I almost lost my milk I was breastfeeding her. I gave the District Attorney’s Office (Investigator Reyes) here in my town all my evidence and asked for charges. They could not do it themselves because of my ex-husband so they assured me it would be forwarded to another agency. They NEVER did. I also made police reports in his town where some of the crimes occurred (Detective Garcia) and mine (Detective Tsosie).
I reported it to Mr. Nanez’s District Attorney and State Police both in Las Cruces, with Mr. Nanez lying to them each time, but none of the agencies contacted us, interviewed us or investigated, just accepted his word or what ever he offered them. My city police gave my evidence back to me (Detective Tsosie) and said, we don’t know what to do. I reported the checks he forged in my name to my state police and they assured me they would do something, I have not heard from them. I reported it to my sheriffs department when the abuser, his wife and girlfriend broke into my house and stole and destroyed my stuff and my antique cars, I have not heard from them (but I did see it in the newspaper tonight). His city police (Las Cruces) went to investigate and so did CYFD and Mr. Nanez stated to them that my son got into his collection of pornography and it was a mistake, however, in court he admitted to lying to the police in his town. And he ended up admitting to showing a pornographic movie to the children which is a felony. When I pointed it out to them and offered them the evidence they said the case was closed. And Mr. Nanez mentioned that yes, they were his friends.
I was ordered to give my baby (Nova) to this abuser in a March 13th 2008 hearing by Judge DePauli. I disagreed to this decision not just because he wanted to give this abuser my baby unsupervised, but because the Judge himself was planning to abuse Nova every month, for 7 days a month, with no regard to her health, breastfeeding, potty training, CYFD home visits or her emotional health. The Judge planned to turn her world upside down every month, this is emotional abuse and trauma. The Judge is abusing her now that he ripped her away from everyone and she don’t know why she was abandon and suddenly placed with strangers and is keeping her hostage like a toy in a sick game, like her emotions and health don’t matter, all so he can punish me, as he stated on record. And Mr. Nanez has her in daycare everyday for most of the day, she was with me every day when she was here. He doesn’t have her, to spend time with her, or because he loves her, only for revenge, and to punish me just like the Judge, and so he will not have to pay child support. He has proven this.
The Judge also planned that on my baby’s initial visit to just send her with strangers and rip her away from all she knows, with no regards to her wellbeing. He could have ordered a slow introduction to a new environment and new people at the very least. In this trial Mr. Nanez admitted to having weird sexual practices, having a polygamous relationship, showing the children pornography and having sex in front of the children. The perjury Mr. Nanez committed blatantly in court, on record is too numerous to list here. The lies where so great and obvious that there were only 2 to 3 sentences between a lie and the contradiction to that lie.
In court Mr. Nanez stated to the Judge “that as you know your honor money is no object†and that his family owns a business and they are wealthy, however he never paid child support and has been fighting for the lowest amount possible after being pursued by the State. I told the Judge time and time again if Mr. Nanez gets a hold of the baby he will not bring her back and will harm her to spite me. And that is exactly what he did. (He has not brought her home and did not show up for court when the Judge ordered him too, at the most recent court hearing, he cut all contact and moved with his girlfriend who is a convicted drug addict.) Something he told the Judge he would not do at the first court hearing.
This proves the Judges is prejudice because he did not order Mr. Nanez to show cause, he did not issue a warrant or conduct a manhunt for him, only me, I only heard my baby once in this whole month, when Mr. Nanez and his girlfriend Tanya Abeyta called on my birthday and said, tell your mother happy birthday and ha ha I’m with daddy, she started screaming for me then they hung up. (The Judge gave this abuser my baby out of his own hate for me. He is still holding my baby hostage keeping her from me and from her family and medical care, and he broke the bond of breastfeeding that both of us can never regain, after assisting in her kidnapping.) I asked at the end of the hearing if I could enact the Kelsey Briggs Law.
The Judge asked me what it was and I told him it allows anyone to ask a different Judge to look over the evidence again, if anyone feels a child is being placed back in the hands of an abuser. He became furious and said, you do what ever you think you need to, but if you come before me again, it will not be pleasant and my order stands and you will obey them. The Judge ordered Mr. Nanez (the abuser) to pay me for gas to bring her to an exchange point. We live 600+ miles apart and to have a baby ride back and forth each month for that long and both me and her being sick, with no good vehicle, this is also abuse by the Judge and shows lack of any empathy for the baby or any common sense.
Mr. Nanez refused to pay this court ordered gas money which did not even begin to cover the cost of the gas. In good faith I brought Nova to the court appointed place and prayed he would not be there and he was not, he was at my house stalking me and had also been visiting his girlfriend Tanya Abeyta, who’s mother Rosa Armstrong lives here, for which I have witnesses. Mr. Nanez got scared because I had taken her to the right place and right time, he expected to trap me here and cause a violation of custody, and be able to see his girlfriend at the same time. This was their plan from the very beginning. Tanya would go back to her husband until she could get the kids (he would not giver her custody because of her drugs) and Mr. Nanez would get Nova (with the help of the Judge) and they would run away with the kids and get married, with Tanya’s husband paying child support and Mr. Nanez not having to, and with the intention of me or Tanya’s husband never seeing the children again.
Allegation 2.
(Mr. Nanez only wants my baby to avoid paying child support and for revenge, for which I have almost 500 pages of evidence.) Mr. Nanez has shown NO care for my baby, no empathy for her feelings or wellbeing, only revenge and hate. Even now I know she is crying for me, her grandmother, her godmother and her brother and he will not call us for her. She would cry even before the Judge did this her, if I was out of her site for very long. She was still scared from the time Judge Aragon allowed him to steal her and she was still breastfeeding. Because Mr. Nanez has no care or empathy for Nova, and his girlfriend, hating me and being on drugs, I believe my baby’s life is in danger, I have a restraining order on Mr. Nanez girlfriend Tanya Abeyta, she is to stay away from me and my children so Mr. Nanez assisted in Tanya in violating my restraining order on her and he violated his own custody order when he failed to state his continued relationship with Tanya Abeyta who he lives with this was specifically placed in the custody order as : If father enters a new relationship other than his current wife, mother (me) may seek to modify parenting plan, he also failed to disclose his and Tanya’s new residence. He knows we do not have long distance on our phone. Mr. Nanez and his girlfriend (my cousin) have all e-mails blocked. He also told me many times, how he collects all the mail and therefore can and will intercept anything I send, and get rid of it. I have not been aloud contact with my daughter because when she was put on the phone she started screaming for me and so after that they put on a different child pretending it was Nova. Mr. Nanez filed a frivolous custody violation charge which is what he and the Judge were waiting for, as Mr. DePauli stated, that it would not be very pleasant if I came before him again. When I appeared to show cause on this frivolous charge, the Judge heard Mr. Nanez go on for an hour and a half. Then he made his decision.
I had to ask him if I could respond and present my evidence. He responded by saying he was just talking out loud to himself. I told him I was at the appointed place and time, I presented pictures, and I presented a set of e-mails that showed Mr. Nanez had no care or feelings for Nova, that I was at the right time and place and that he was refusing to pay the court ordered 40 dollars. He did not allow me to read the e-mails and he refused to do so himself. Yet he asked Mr. Nanez if he kept his e-mails. He took my pictures but said I was lying. And only after a few minutes of my (trying) to present evidence on my effort to take Nova and Mr. Nanez refusal to pay the court ordered money or even show some kind of care for the baby, the Judge stated I was taking up the courts time and that I should be made to pay for it. He ordered me to pay the abuser for his time and gas, even though Mr. Nanez refused to pay child support or the court ordered 40 dollars and then threatened to fine me for the courts and his time.
Allegation 3.
He charged me with contempt of court and 10 days in jail to be suspended, if I go get the baby and give her to Mr. Nanez that day. I got Nova and my son and went to a battered family shelter. The Judge issued a bench warrant with instructions to call him immediately upon my arrest with no bail. I had filed for an appeal and had 20 days for a response but because the Judge was angry about my decision to appeal, he created this opportunity to block and hinder my appeal. The Judge had every officer, detective, and his friends out looking for me and Officer Tholand told me the Judge had my wanted picture up everywhere and especially all over the Gallup Police Department.
As I am my grandmother’s only care taker, I was out one night trying to clean our vehicle so she could use it. One of the Judge’s friends, my aunt Rosa, who hates me, because she was charged with battery on me, who is also Mr. Nanez girlfriend’s mother stalked me and called the police to go get me for the Judge and to take away the baby. (I did ask for the Judge to recuse himself because of this relationship with my aunt and that of my ex-husband, and he refused). Me and Rosa’s mother remembered taking her to see Mr. DePauli often. Rosa and Mr. Depauli are both friends with the Menapace’s. When the police came they arrested me and tried desperately to get a hold of Judge DePauli. They finally got a hold of him and he said to take the baby to CYFD and that he will call Mr. Nanez to come and get her. (The conversations being recorded on police radio transmissions, I heard them all from the back of the police cruiser.) While in jail he placed me in a solitary cell with NOTHING, it was full of blood and I was not allowed to shower for 3 days. And although I new and worked with the staff they were told not to have anything with me.
I was not allowed bail and to this day he has never arraigned me on that charge or even properly charge me. I called the National Clearing House for the Defense of Battered Women and they let the Judge know I can not be held over 72 hours without an arraignment, (this is common practice here for district court and so far they have gotten away with it), he then set bail. When I posted bail I asked a reporter from our local newspaper to attend court with me. When I got to court the Judge did not expect me to have made bail or to bring all my witnesses, my evidence or the press so he decided he would not hear court or let me present my evidence, call my witnesses or allow me the right to record. He violated my right to a speedy trial and right to record. He proceeded to tell me that Fridays were the days he reserves for people in orange (inmates). He said, I would have had you brought to court in orange last Friday, but I was out of town.
(The truth was he was compelled to set bail and had no intention of an arraignment.) He also tried to ask me, what day I was arrested, as if he didn’t know, but he knew, because I overheard when the police called him in the middle of the night, when they arrested me (police radio transmissions) and he gave them instructions about the baby. He went on to say that he was thinking about whether or not to keep me in jail until today, to teach me a lesson for the integrity of the system……….He said he had been mulling over the case all weekend during his vacation and didn’t want to embarrass me and he had decided to be lenient………….still never arraigning me for this arrest. (I don’t know of a case of contempt of court, where a Judge can’t stop thinking about it during his vacation, or wants to be personally contacted.)
He was shocked to see that my best friend for years, the brother of Lynn Menapace, another of the Judges friends, had posted bail. So now he did not want to look bad in front of my friend, my witnesses and the reporter. Before court he had his secretary come out and count the people and ask what they were here for. I had prepared a statement for the court and brought my witnesses. Then the Judge interrupted me and said I am not going to allow you to offer any evidence at this time, denying me the right to record, still not charging me or giving no arraignment, and violating my right to speedy trial. False arrest and imprisonment.
His excuse was that Mr. Nanez needed to be here, I didn’t understand why for a contempt hearing this had nothing to do with him. I believed the Judge wanted to hide behind his unlawful orders and lies using Mr. Nanez as a cover and possibly (hopefully) out of some empathy, let the baby come back, because Mr. Nanez would already be here as ordered by him. Well, Mr. Nanez proved me right and ran with the baby like I said he would. The Judge thought he was such a good and innocent person and as he said in court “not the pervert you make him out to be†that he wasn’t there to back up the Judge after the Judge helped him.
(I didn’t not make Mr. Nanez out to be a pervert, I did not have too, he was investigated by Child Protective Services and THEY conducted their investigation and came to that conclusion and sent everyone the results that state Mr. Nanez and his wife and girlfriend had sexually abused and exploited my children, and the most damaging of all he testified to his sexual problems himself on record.) The Judge never once for the safety and wellbeing of the baby requested the CYFD records, which only he could do, or take a small amount of time to make sure the baby’s needs, care, or transition would be in her best interest. He reset the hearing for 30 June 2008 and said the bail still stands.
Allegation 4.
On June 30th 2008 the Judge had the court stenographer come out and tell me that this hearing would not be recorded. (But the news reporter did record it on tape) I asked her if this was unusual and she replied that the Judge had hired her to do this special. I asked her why and she said this is the way it was suppose to be, but equipment had been broken so they had just been recording it. It did not make sense to me either.
The first 20 minutes, just like the last time I was before Judge DePauli, was spent by him trying to explain himself and justify his actions for violating of his Oath of Office, the Constitution of the United States and my civil rights, he was going to allow me my right to record this time but not after he presented a fake discovery in which he caused defamation of character and slander upon me. He started by saying that because I was married to Richard Malone at the time of Nova’s birth that I had lied and Mr. Nanez would have never known he had a baby.
However in the affidavit presented time and time again, each time I filed my papers and requested protection orders (that were never granted) I stated that when I went to the hospital for the rape I was given medicine so I would not become pregnant, and me and my husband had been trying to have a baby for 12 years so I believed she was his, but in the military rape investigation I told them it was possible and informed them of everything that happened and was told that Mr. Nanez’s commander, told Mr. Nanez my allegations and that I was pregnant, where he promptly confessed and he was discharged from the army.
Which brings up another lie by Mr. DePauli he also added to the first lie saying he was never informed that this was a rape. Mr. DePauli was given my case because his claim, the claim that he is the Domestic Violence Commissioner and my case involved domestic violence and rape. From the first papers filed in this case until the last, all include the affidavit of domestic violence and rape. So I say he CLAIMS, to be a Domestic Violence Commissioner because a Domestic Violence Commissioner is trained in that area and does not victimize the victim all over again or victimize and traumatize (breastfeeding) babies, they are trained to know who and what an abuser is. This description does not fit Mr. DePauli. He defends the abuser in light of clear evidence and obvious perjury, defends showing children pornography, makes light of investigations conducted by Protective Services on sexual abuse of children and says their conclusions of abuse are frivolous or unfounded.
(So why do we even have protective services if this Judge says they are bogus), he victimizes the victim, does not take the very little time and effort to make sure babies and children will not be abused and that they are safe and comfortable, not rip them away from mothers who are breastfeeding and potty training. No, Mr. DePauli does not fit the Description of a Domestic Violence Commissioner or even a Judge, what kind of Judge does these things.
Next Mr. DePauli states for the record that I am a convicted felon out of Arizona and I find that funny because the only one who has said that before Mr. DePauli is Rosa Byerly Armstrong, the woman Mr. DePauli denies knowing. Because anyone else would have, if they were doing a real court discovery, looked up the case and notice that it was dismissed because my identity was stolen by Rosa’s daughter Tanya Abeyta and then Rosa tried to call and report this as a crime I committed for revenge on me (she was charged with battery on me). I also find it funny and most criminal that I have been in law enforcement for more than half my life, I have a current military Secret Security Clearance for which I submitted to a through background check and lie detector test among a batter of other things to obtain, that I am currently a Military Police Officer and Mr. DePauli slanders my name by calling me a convicted felon to try and discredit me without checking his facts, which obviously came from Rosa Byerly-Armstrong, who he claims, was only his barber years ago.
Until I pulled out my records that show Mr. DePauli was Rosa’s attorney. And also had my Grandmother, Rosa’s mother, there as a witness among others. Mr. DePauli became very interested in my book of over 500 pages of evidence and wanted it, until I told him it was all scanned and on disk with several copies in different locations. Then suddenly his excuse for this lie about Rosa was that he didn’t mention his relationship with her because he didn’t think it was important and was a long time ago. He LIED. And is still lying. He did these things to cover up the fact that the appeals court pointed out his error by giving joint custody and visitation. This error on Mr. DePaul’s part, that he was trying so desperately to cover was clear in the first statement he made by saying that I had already agreed on joint custody and he was only there to decide on timesharing.
NO, I filed for sole custody and supervised visitation at the least, or none at all. The appeals court advised me to reapply for sole custody and state my reason because of Mr. DePaul’s error. Every single statement I have made, I have evidence for in the form of documentation, court records or witnesses. He also said he did not have to recuse himself, because I sought out his jurisdiction, this was because of Judge Robert Aragon’s failure to issue a protection order even after knowing of the rape, stalking, harassing etc….. and by failing to protect us, Mr. Nanez was aloud to steal my daughter without even a DNA test or his name on the birth certificate. So what choice did I have? This was the only way I could get her back and protect her, by asking for the court to help us and protect us. Time after time during this hearing he would tell me to talk and that he was giving me my right to record and then tell me woe woe or wait a minute and not let me finish.
My baby had been gone more than a month now and I asked Mr. DePauli over and over to order her back and to recuse himself because his impartiality was now more than ever, clear to everyone, way beyond a reasonable doubt. He would do neither. Nor did he issue a contempt of court or bench warrant for Mr. Nanez for not showing up for court or paying the money Mr. DePauli himself issued. These actions show clear prejudice against women and against me. I asked to present my witnesses, for the record Mr. DePauli asks what each one will testify too. Most of them were there to testify to the fact, that on the day Mr. DePauli charged me with contempt of court the first time (and wanted me to pay him and the abuser) May 9th, I was where I was suppose to be and Mr. Nanez was here stalking me.
And that on the second contempt charge which he put me in jail for, and conducted his private manhunt for me on, May 19, (which was false arrest because I was never charged or arraigned), I was desperately trying to protect my baby from an abuser and the court inflicted abuse ordered by Mr. DePauli. He said no to calling my witnesses. My grandmother has only lived to spend each day with Nova and Mr. DePauli is slowly killing her and abusing her too. My son prayed for another little sister after my first daughter died at the age of two. Mr. DePauli is slowly killing him and abusing him all over again, not only by helping an abuser kidnap his baby sister but an abuser who was also HIS abuser. He now hates the very justice system that I taught him would protect him. My precious baby girl that I prayed for, for many years after I buried her sister and my mother, kidnapped by the Judge and given to the man who abused me, her, my son, his wife, his girlfriend and numerous other people.
What kind of Judge or Man like that even exists? I was upset when after asking and asking the judge to give me my baby back, he told me to go file real papers for that, like a real attorney would. He had the power and opportunity to order her back, he is purposely holding her hostage. He got tired of my asking and pleading and told them to arrest me. While arresting me I asked him what he was arresting me for and he said contempt of court (for the third time this month) I said, is that criminal or civil and he said, civil, (now stepping outside of his jurisdiction and immunity) I said, you and I have no contract and you are violating my civil rights. He said, “SO SUE MEâ€. I was placed in the court holding cell in handcuffs and was told they were awaiting transport to the jail and orders from the Judge.
After 30 minutes and after my family and friends were told I would be put in jail, I was walked back through the courtroom, down the hall, back through the metal detector, and to the waiting sheriff. He unlocked my handcuffs and took off my belly chain, he handed me my orders and told me I was free to go…………As I read the orders they said for the May 9th charge (the one where the Judge called me a liar, said that I did not take the baby as ordered, and where he ordered me to pay Mr. Nanez, and threatened me with having to pay the court, and the Judge) it stated that I will not be held in contempt of court because of the courts inability to completely hear the matter, the one I had already been given a sentence of 10 days for and a fine to pay Mr. Nanez.
Now the May 19 contempt of court, the one where he sent a manhunt for me, issued a bench warrant, then arrested me and kept me in jail, then kept my bail, and NEVER arraigned me or charged me, now becomes false arrest and kidnapping by Mr. DePauli of me and my children, this one, was his best personal vendetta against me and he completely skipped this issue, charge, lies, false arrest, and kidnapping to cover himself on the record. The third one on June 30th where he arrested me in court for asking him to give me my baby back, was so I could forget about the second one, where he issued a bench warrant, sent a manhunt for me, arrested me, kept me in jail with no arraignment and kidnapped me and my children, but also the third one of course, says release her at noon and the court will not issue any more contempt violations, because the court believes more sanctions of the Petitioner for contempt will not result in the Petitioner being further inclined to obey court orders.
Did anybody notice that I am the PETITIONER? I asked for the courts protection for me and my children and look what this JUDGE did, what this so called DOMESTIC VIOLANCE COMMISSIONER did, to the petitioner and her children. On 8 Jul 08 the Judge still held my bond on his false arrest and kidnapping, I had to ask that it be released. And that is only a summary. I have not yet started with the list of evidence and events numbered and in chronological order. Please see attachments for statement of truth and letter of findings for CYFD investigation. Lastly I believe this entire custody hearing should be retried or overturned because the New Mexico Court of Appeals noted that the district court has erroneously gave joint custody with visitation when it should be have been sole custody with visitation.
EVIDENCE AND EVENTS IN CRONOLOGICAL ORDER
1. 01SEP05-Department of Defense Directive, I was asking for an investigation into retaliation by my chain of command.
2. 02SEP05-Request for Investigation by me to the Inspector General for retaliation by my commander.
3. 13OCT05-Doctor’s statement. Was not feeling good, went to the doctor, doctor told me I was pregnant.
4. 15OCT05-Attachment to Request for Investigation. Attachment is a letter from me to LTC Selph. This letter and format was requested by LTC Selph to attach for his investigation. I told him of the hospital visit after the rape and the medicine that was given to prevent me from getting pregnant and that me and my husband had been trying to have a baby for many years too so I didn’t know what to think. LTC Selph took note of my concern and said to just put Mr. Nanez in the report along with a brief description of what he did to me until after a DNA test could be conducted. He also stated it may compel Mr. Nanez to confess. I was told that his commander told him about me and he confessed. He was promptly discharged.
5. 10JAN06 at 0730am- I received a call from Mr. Nanez he asked if I was really pregnant and was it his, because he just got discharged from the military and now he had to tell his wife. I said, yes I am pregnant and that me and my husband were trying to have a baby for many years. I also asked him how he got my phone number and he replied off the deployment roster. He went on to say he would do what ever I wanted, and that his family was wealthy, if I would tell his wife that I had asked him to be a sperm donor for me and my husband. I told him that was ridicules. He said, your right I will just tell her.
6. 10JAN06 at 0900am- I received a call from a woman asking if I was Crystal or if I knew Mr. Nanez. I said yes to both. She went on to say, please don’t hang up on me and explained that she was Mr. Nanez wife. She said, I am not mad at you, I am mad at him. I said good because he is the one that did all this. She asked if I was pregnant and if I had asked Mr. Nanez to be a sperm donor. I said I am NOT going to lie for him or any man. I told her everything. She also told me she knew he had done this to other women and asked if I knew anything about them. I told her I was not with him voluntarily and that I did not want him, I also told her that a few days earlier he did show me pictures of her and some other women that he called his girlfriends. She asked if it would be alright if she e-mailed me just in case it was her husband’s baby. I gave her my e-mail address. Mrs. Nanez sent an e-mail and asked me to identify the girls and also if he had shown me the right picture of her. She also said not to let him know she had talked to me telling me something about his cousin loosing her baby if it got out.
7. Date UNK- At around 7 months I hear from Mr. and Mrs. Nanez again. Mrs. Nanez said she was wondering if she they could meet me. She wanted to see what I looked like. I said that would be fine and asked when. She said they were already here from Las Cruces. They wanted to meet me for lunch. She stated that if it was her husband’s baby they wanted to do everything they could to help. She also said she understood that I might not want to be around Mr. Nanez after what he did, but she still wanted to help. That was creepy. The stalking part. That was the beginning of the stalking. Mr. Nanez also told me that he finally told his parents in the event she was his and their reply was that they never wanted to see me or the baby ever. He said he also told his brother and sister and that his sister was sending a small package. Mr. Nanez asked me when his wife went to the bathroom if I thought it was a boy or a girl and if I still believed she was my husband’s baby. Then he said look out for a box he was sending me.
8. 27MAY06-I got the package Mr. Nanez sent, it contained 3 small pink outfits, and a pack of newborn diapers. He put in a note saying not to tell his wife because she was getting very jealous but I noticed he had used her credit card for the purchase.
9. 22AUG06-The next contact I had with Mr. and Mrs. Nanez was when Mr. Nanez called with his wife on the other line and wanted to know if I got the package for Nova from, if she was a boy or girl,(they didn’t know anything yet, no contact) and what I had named her. She was 3 months old at this time. Mrs. Nanez asked (not completed)

Dear Ms. Malone:
Since we were last in communication in May, I sent to you several domestic violence and attorney referrals for agencies in the Gallup area. At that time, I also kept the offices of the Governor and Congressman Tom Udall informed of CYFD’s attempts to offer assistance. I applaud your efforts to identify and change laws pertaining to child custody and legal placement decisions for children in New Mexico. I am also sorry that your difficulties persist.
At this time, there is nothing more CYFD can do to help. The issues you mention are in the courts, and not under the control of CYFD’s interpretation and enforcement of the Children’s Code. Therefore, I recommend that you contact and work with the State legislators in your area to see if one or more of them might be able to assist you.
I have attached their contact information for your convenience. Thank you.

I have tried all you requested. I can not find any help. CYFD and you stated they could only help if my baby was in state custody. When the Judge came after me, he put her in state custody and I informed your department of this and you guys once again failed to protect her. You have a case of documented abuse already on this man but do nothing. You leaned on the excuse that she was not in state custody and did nothing. What good is your agency? It is apparently no good to the Judge either as he states your report and findings are irrelevant. Yes these issues do pertain to CYFD as you failed to protect this little baby girl many times. And my state legislators among other people will be informed your agency is a fraud by you claming you can’t protect children and the Judge stating your reports mean nothing. So it is one of two things. Either you guys lied when you wrote a letter and created a file stating my children were abused by this man, or you lied about every other case when you made reports like this and then took children away from people to protect them when you really don’t have the power you claim you do, to protect them. I would like to know the answer to this and so would every other person who’s children were not protected or taken by frivols reports from a false agency. Why do we have and pay for this false agency or an agency that creates false reports? With all due respect. Crystal Lynn

CPS of Brazoria County took my granddaughters 4, yes that is four years ago, and still has them. I wrote to the Governor of Texas and was pushed off to the agency that supposedly watches CPS. From them I got a letter stating that CPS is LEGALLY not ALLOWED to keep children that long. And basically nothing else. I already knew they couldn’t keep them that long. But they still have them.
This has been a nightmare with no end.
Recently new rules were passed on how CPS can take children from the home. But my county immediately stated that these rules will not change the way CPS operates in this area. This statement was given by the judge (Hufstetler) who has taken over all family cases.
My only recommendation after our experiences is DON’T live in Texas.

I am pacing my hallways because my boys ages 1 & 2 were ripped out of my home on aligations of physical abuse. I had been noticing bruises on my youngest child after coming home from childcare (private childcare). I didn’t think much of it because my baby is just starting to walk and he’s unstable. When he came home with bazzar bruising to his forehead I started to worry. I took him to the doctor a day prior to CPS stepping in. CPS took my children from me on the aligations of physical abuse, medical neglect, and failure to protect! How can that be medical neglect when i took him to the doctor and the docor telling me he didn’t think the bruises were caused by trauma? They haven’t even strted to investigate the childcare provider, which the aligations were torward her in the first place, but I’m guilty because I’m the mother? How is that justified? They took my children without a firm probable cause becauae the aligations were trward the babysitter not me, so shouldn’t she have been investigated first? I need some help badly!!! CPS think they are helping but do you know what this is doing to those children especially when you find that the aligations are false?!!!

I was involved with Children & Youth Services. They closed my case and allowed me to maintain custody of my children. I got a job in another state and the caseworker knew this before closing the case. I have recently had contact with the caseworker on another matter and she did not question me on anything regarding where my children were. But, my ex-brother in law told me they contacted him and were asking him where the kids are. I think he is making this up but am nervous. they have my number and can contact me if they have a question about the kids. But, like I said, I spoke with the caseworker and she didn’t have an issue with anything. My question is can they be investigating you without notifying you?

I have been involved with CPS for jst about a yr now, and am now starting to see the big goose chase they have me on. i did a drug and alcohol asses. graduated from I.O.P and am a few classes shy of completing the Treatment program. I am also goin to MRT parenting classes, PPG classes, and I do weekly random Ua’s. only to get 1, 2hr visit a wk.
Well here is the deal, on the 4th of this month was my last court date in wich they changed the permanent Plan from return home to, having the foster parents adopt my son. Reason given, because they had no proof of all my classes and stuff, cause they failed to tell me that I had to get my progress reports to them myself.
Well anyways more imporntantly. I have been late and missed a few visits so they have me call 24 hr ahead of my visits to let them know if I’m coming or not. So my very next visit after the hearing, I called the day befor, told them i would be there, and the next morning about 1 hr before the visit I GET A CALL SAYING MY VISIT IS CANCELLED, of course I asked whats up, and THEIR REPLY TO ME WAS THAT WHEN ARRIVED AT MY SONS DAYCARE TO PICK HIM UP FOR THE VISIT HE WAS NOT THERE! APPEARENTLY HE HAD BEEN UN-ENROLLED (not exactly sure when) AND THAT THEY PRETTY MUCH HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WHEREABOUTS. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WOORY THAT THE FOSTER PARENTS PROBABLY JUST TRANSFERRED DAYCARES AND FORGOT TO INFORM THEM. WELL THEY HAD MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (so i was told) BY PHONE, LEAVING MESSAGES FOR THE FOSTER PARENTS TO CALL THEM A.S.A.P. BUT AS OF NOW, 5 DAYS LATER THEY STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING THING BACK AND DO NOT KNOW, for sure, WHERE MY 11 MONTH OLD SON IS AT!!! I AM GIVING C.P.S. 1 MORE SHOT TO LOCATE HIM AND IF THEY DONT BY THE TIME I CALL’EM BACK ON MONDAY MORNING THEN i AM GOING TO THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA. ANYBODY THAT WILL LISTEN. MY APPOINTED ATTORNEY IS FAKE, LAZY, AND PRETTY MUCH WORKS FOR THEM I NEED AND WANT TO FIRE HER BUT CANT AFFORD TO MUCH TO GET A GOOD ATTORNEY. SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP THEN PLEASE DO SO, I’M GETTING DESPERATE, I’M BEGGING, AND WILL BE FOREVER DEBTED TO YOU AND SO SO GRATEFUL! THANK YOU FOR DOIN WHAT YOU GUYS DO. THE GOOD PEOPLE NEED SOME HELP SOME TIMES TO!

Contra Costa Co. After nearly three years, drug tests clean, parenting classes complete, my daughter, taken on unsubstatiated accusations and a “dirty house” report hasn’t been returned. The PD assigned was self admittedly “good friends” with the CPS case worker and aggressivly advised me to “just trust CPS” and actually shushed me when I tried to make the judge aware of facts pertaining to my case. I still can’t understand how a PTA-mom could be denied her daughter based on UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS.
I foolishly belived that all would justly and rightly work out, and didn’t understand that a CPS agent couldn’t just profanely threaten and demean me. I’ve been lied to, harassed, and manipulated by CPS, not informed of crutial legal opportuinities by my “so-called” attourney, and had my daughters’ and my civil rights abused and ignored at every turn. I am about to lose all parental rights and I now realize my account of events isn’t even on record!! My sin was having a “dirty house” and being trusting of CPS. Shame on me for believing that “the truth shall win out”. I will fight with all my heart now that I know I’m not alone and that others believe me. I understand how CPS manipulated the facts and my life to get me to just “GIVE UP”. Please help. This is soooo wrong. Court is NEXT WEEK! Email at alhbuild-at-gmail.com.

I am in need of a lawyer for my CPS investigation. They are investigating a claim of abuse. It is unfounded and untrue, but because I cooperated with a case in the past, they feel this claim is warrant enough to remove the children. My kids do not deserve to be removed- there was no abuse to begin with.

I made the mistake of contacting DFCS in Georgia. They have since taken 2 of my children for trumped up charges. I will get an attorney but I need some advice. Also, have plans to sue them as well as 2 other law suits. Need Contingency or Pro Bono. Thanks

Thank you.

My son has just been offered 5 years in prison or 10 years shock probation because CPS brought his case to the Brazoria Texas DA who charged him with injury to a child. There was and is no proof of the charge but that never seems to have been a problem. All they needed was a phone call from the school and they arrested him and too the 2 girls. This has been going on for 4 years even though there is a state law that limits CPS to 18 months that they can keep the girls.
How can I get help to fight this? Of course there is more to it than just this but mostly annoying things. My son was young and dumb and didn’t do the things he should have. But since the first day there has been no chance for him as the judge and DA determined he was guilty and that he needed to go to prison. Everything that has happened since has been to that end.
CPS never did an investigation into the home and their own files contradict their position.
Some one please tell me how to go about fighting this. I have had my head buried in the sand thinking that they would realize they were wrong but of course I was stupid. I need to seriously fight now and am asking for any help I can get.
