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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

In 1985, I asked CPS for help. They took my children. I had to fight to get them back.
In 2005, I was having a huge family crisis. My darling mother died. My daughter and 2 darling grandchildren were in need of shelter. Foolishly, I asked CPS for help. They took my grandchildren.
It’s now 2008. They still have my family. Even though I immediately filed for temporary custody, even though I fought an uncaring system, I haven’t seen my grandchildren since 2006.
I’m sure that I’ve never been a perfect person. But I’ve always tried to be a good person. I used to be kind. But lately, I find myself yelling at everyone. Nothing seems right anymore. I’m no longer “Grandmother” and it is ripping the heart right out of me. What do I have to do to have my life back? Even more importantly, what do Jamie and Jacob and my daughter Crystal have to do before we are permitted to breathe again?

Oh I feel for you! I too don’t have my family. My son is in prison, his wife against me and my granddaughter in a foster home and she is either going to be or has already been adopted by the foster parents. I am doing all i possibly can to get an attorney but around here nobody will touch this case. I am determined to get my little 2 yr old granddaughter back but like you, I am not even considered a grandma anymore. it is so sad and my heart is broken as i am sure yours is too. I am here for you and trust in God. Just keep praying and keep your sanity and don’t ever give up!
Comment by Joyce Williamson — August 2, 2008 @ 12:02 pm
I feel for the two of you and will be praying for you both and your families. I, too, am stuck in the cps trap. My daughter spanked her oldest daughter and took her to her paternal grandmother for a few hours to run some errands. She informed her that she had spanked her and when she returned to get her daughter she was met by five county sheriff cars. This was in a small town. There are three little girls involved in this. I got the two youngest from the start. The youngest one only 3 1/2 months. The oldest one stayed with the other grandma, much to our objections. She was molested by her older sister while in the custody of her grandma and eventually came to live with me and my two youngest children.
This has put a huge strain on all of us.
My greatest fear is that this will last for years and my daughter will jump through cps hoops only to disappoint all of us concerned.
I want my life back and my granddaughters to be with their mother.
Comment by LeAnn A. — August 2, 2008 @ 3:55 pm
I hate this f-ing corrupt system with all my heart. It has destroyed my family & placed all three of my kids in a lesbian household with c*nt trolling feminazis that only allow us 2 hrs a week with the kids. To top it off, they don’t even have jobs.
My best friend’s youngest son shot himself yesterday. He was only 20. Not details yet. We are in total shock. He was also in the ‘wonderful’ cps system when he was younger. Sadly now, he’s a statistic of foster care.
Comment by Susan — August 2, 2008 @ 4:15 pm
I sit here and read story after story, and I just cant believe that its all true and happening! Why on God’s green earth do we allow CPS to continue to destroy our’s and every family they encounter? Where and When did they get such power? Story after story, child after child, Did any of you hear about the witch hunt CPS did in a small town? Wenatchee Washington? I read about it and the reason that it was done was because CPS was about to lose their funding for that year, so they needed 30 children, they got some cop to help and they said 30 some children were sexually molested by church people, What a story, a dozen or so adults went to prison and all of them lost their children to CPS which is what they needed. It back fired and caught national news and didnt work they ended up having to give back most of the kids but they CPS and the cop never even got in trouble. Sent innocent people to prison, and didnt even get into trouble.Go figure.
Which makes me feel that no matter what is done, CPS is the same as a cockroach, no matter what we do they will probably be around til the end of time, Of course at that time they will have to answer to God, Then well see them squirm, like the slimy worms that they are.

To the Grandparents here fighting CPS:
I offer this link and info with some trepidation as the groups I am referring to you had been known i nthe past to litigate FIT parents for grandparent visitation and/or custody. That is not right and I have fought that battle as an advocate for fit parents for years.
However, I have strong reason to believe that these groups now solely concentrate on grandparents fighting social services.
If you are a grandparent, you might want to check out these groups.
One is grandsplace.org
The others is childrensrights.org (I may be off on the actual web site name. They are a very strong and connected group in Albany NY.
God Speed to you all.

Hi everyone,
Olivera doesn’t seem to get it!
I was abused, neglected, sexually abused, mentally torn down and terrorized, deprived of social interaction, locked up in my room with no heat, no light, no furniature, even my clothes were kept from me except for the ones that I was wearing. Only my clothes and a blanket. Let out to cook and clean, yard work and laundry, and go to school during the week. Food was a privilege and had to be asked for and earned.
My mother took my little sister in the middle of the night when I was seven and disappeared. I was left behind with my father who was grieving over the situation and had no understanding of what to do with me. The woman he chose as a partner hated children, even had her tubes tied when she truned eighteen. She put me through a lot of hell for five and a half years and my mother knew the entire time.
In fact, she used it to her advantage to get her way in the divorce, keeping my sister and leaving me with my father and his partner. She used the abuse to keep my sister. She didn’t want me. She had an abortion when I was three because she didn’t want anymore kids and got fixed so that she didn’t have to have anymore kids.
I don’t know, nor can I comprehend why she didn’t want me, why she didn’t love me, the fact is that she started a new life with a new guy. Whenever she wanted a break from being a parent, she would send my sister to another family member. When I was in forth grade or fifth, she sent my sister to live with me, our dad and his partner for most of the school year. She came down to visit us only once, about the time of my sister’s eighth birthday, and I don’t remember her spending the night or anything.
My sister and I called our mom several times during the time that my sister lived with me, and even ran away together at least once. Mom didn’t come to our rescue. She didn’t care about anything but what she wanted and we weren’t part of it. At the end of the school year my sister and I went to see our mother and her fiance. The new man in her life that she pawned my sister off for. They married and at the end of the summer, my sister stayed and I was sent beck to live with my dad and his partner.
At the end of my seventh grade year, I ran away for the last time and refused to go back. My mother paid for a greyhound ticket so I could go up to stay with her. But she didn’t plan to keep me and when I refused to go back, when I finally was ready to fight if I had to, an angry, empty shell who toughened up so that my dad and his partner couldn’t ever make me cry again, and would make sure that the whole world knew my life story, she decided to let me stay. God forbid that I would present all of the dirty laundry to the authorities and, “bring shame on her.”
I had no rules, no supervision, was paid no mind and didn’t know what to do with it. A concerned parent would get her child some counciling or make a police report but not in my case. I was out of control.
I started seeing boys, having sex, drinking, smoking, shoplifting, lied, ran away, got into fights in school, couldn’t handle learning anything in school because I didn’t understand anything the teachers were trying to teach, had nobody to help me with my homework and most of my grades were D’s and F’s. I was fourteen and had no idea what I was doing. During spring break, I got pregnant with my daughter, who is now going to be a high school senior in this fall.
Her dad left me when I told him that my period was late and my mother tried to force me to have an abortion. I refused and she kicked me out. I went into the fostercare system for a while, my ex-boyfriend’s parents took me in for a while. I’m sure he was thrilled to have me living under the same roof as him. My mother took me back on my fifteenth birthday to try to convince me to give my daughter up for adoption. When I refused, she sent me to some teen-pregnancy home to get me to change my mind. It didn’t work.
I had to have a c-section because my daughter was nearly ten pounds at birth, due to the gestational diabeates so she decided to let me stay with her, again, and let my body heal. But I ended up with a bad infection and had to take antibiotics that weren’t safe for breastfeeding and so I had to quit for several days. My daughter developed colic, was alergic to baby formula and my milk almost completely dried up. My mother decided to take over and wasn’t happy when I wouldn’t let her be my daughter’s mother. She was constantly taking my daughter out of my arms, shoving bottles and passifiers in her mouth, making it even harder to get my milk supply back up. She tried to kick me out of the apartment, (that she didn’t even have me on the lease,) and keep my daughter. It didn’t work, but my daughter and I went into fostercare together.
We were bounced around to several foster homes, two of which were teen-parent homes. They weren’t nice places. They were dirty and my daughter kept getting ear infections because there wasn’t any laws about not smoking in the foster homes and nearly every fosterparent was an indoor smoker.
I would go long periods of time without having any contact with my mother, and CPS came out to investigate me many times. But one thing I can give the fosterparents credit for, they let me be my daughter’s mother and would back me up when my parenting capability was questioned. But my mother doesn’t except no for an answer and when she doesn’t get her way, she makes you pay for it.
She has been with so many men that I thought it was normal. There was my dad, some guy named Gary that tried to strangle her to death with my sister and I in the next room. Then my dad again, then the guy from Thailand who called himself Denny. He married his cousin to get her a green card and my mom left him. Then there was Larry, (husband number two,) who she sent my sister away for, (along with the other times before,) I was there that summer when she married him. She was divorcing him when I got pregnant with my daughter and was on and off again with him until my daughter was a year old. Then there was Joaquin, who’s Mexican accent was difficult to understand anything he said. He had other children in Mexico but wanted my mother to have his baby. She was talking about having her tubes untied but decided to get my daughter instead.
Before my daughter’s second birthday, my mother got CPS to agree to give her my daughter and I was clueless. She forged some documents with my signature giving her temporary custody of my daughter, a protection order against me, changed her phone number and the locks on her door, eventually moved, and after six months filed for perminent custody, which she won because I didn’t know about the hearing until after the judge gave her custody by default.
By the time I found out about it, I was very pregnant with my oldest son, who’s father tried to beat me pregnantless and I had to go to a shelter for victims of domestic violence. Meanwhile, my mother was beaten by husband number three, (Joaquin,) and living with some black man with a drug habit. His name was Rick, who became husband number four. My dad told me she was trying to find me to give me back my daughter, but ofcourse she will deny it like every other bad thing she did.
My oldest son, was taken from the hospital when he was three days old by CPS. They put a hold on him until they came to put him in fostercare. With my history with CPS I had to work hard to prove that I wasn’t the monster my mother led them to believe. I did get him back, but when I found out that he had been molested and I reported it, CPS took him from me, (on his forth birthday!) I had two other sons with special needs and because I couldn’t take care of them, gave them up for adoption, CPS attempted to use that with the crap my mother told them and the molestation to terminate my parental rights that same day. It didn’t work, but the man who molested my son was hellbent on killing me and tried to. My son wasn’t safe either. CPS wouldn’t do anything to help me. The man who molested my son never spent time in jail, never had charges filed on him, got away with it. While I was doing my weekly two hour visits, my son would beg me to protect him from CPS and the foster parents. They convinced him that he was a bad boy. They tore him down emotionally in a matter of weeks. In a black household, he was the only child and the only white person in the place. I couldn’t do anything to protect him from what was being done to him. It was a fate worce than death. Mentally I was dead, naive and defenceness. I had a public defender who wouldn’t do anything to help me and made me plead guilty to all ten allegations under durress. He told me that they would make my son testify against me. I told him that they couldn’t make my son lie about me, but the facts say otherwise. My son was so desperate to come back home that he would have said anything they made him say so that they would let him come home. But they weren’t going to let him come home and I couldn’t bear the thought of making him go through that. He had already been through enough, and I didn’t want him to live with the guilt from telling lies that would keep us apart anyway. But I still wasn’t safe and I was afraid that I would be followed to a visit by the man that molested him. I asked CPS what I had to do from the beginning to get my son back and they always said nothing, because I wasn’t getting him back. So when I had to leave my son behind to protect us both I died a spiritual death. I grieved as if he were dead.
The social worker tried to get me to sign away my parental rights but I refused because I don’t want my son thinking that I gave up on him or that I didn’t want him. To this day I pray for him to find me, and to do it knowing that our lives were in danger if I stayed.
I managed to get myself on auto-pilot, only fighting to survive with the hope that we will be reunited. I’ve already started posting messages on the public message boards through the internet and also listing my name and information with the adoption registries and other registries in the hopes that either he, or someone who knows him will see them and contact me. He wont be eighteen until April 17, 2012, so there isn’t any other way to find him.
My daughter will be eighteen on December 26th of this year. Because my mother has been married five times, it only took me a few minutes to find out her current last name on ussearch.com. Husband number five’s name is Ron. He bought a house recently and it showed his current address on the 411 website.
I used the information to contact my daughter. I told her the truth about why she wasn’t raised by me and that my dad had even told me that she thought that my mom was her mom because she was still young enough to forget me. When my dad told my daughter the truth, my mother refused to let my dad see my daughter again. I told her about what I went through as a child, the suffering induced by my mother’s actions, and the domino effect it had on her brother. I sent pictures of my youngest son and my husband and me that we had taken at Walmart last month. I sent it to her as a parcel that she had to sign for. The receipt shows that she signed for it, but my mother may have interceeded and signed in place of her to prevent her from getting it. I still haven’t heard a thing.
I’m not a bad mother, ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I more than did my part to, “earn,” the right to be a parent. I love and want all of my kids. Dispite everything I was through, I haven’t abandoned, abused or neglected my kids ever. And there is an open door policy on my kitchen. If you’re hungry, you’re going to eat!
I don’t know why there are abusive parents or parents that don’t want their kids.
I just know that I’m not one of them.
And I know that CPS isn’t the answer from personal experience. I was in the system. I still would rather be abused at home than abused in fostercare, and that I was.
I don’t know if I could live through losing my youngest, go through that all again. Or if he could.

Please pray for me and my children. If you have any ideas on how to find my oldest son, please email me.

His name is Joseph Aaron-Lee Shaver, born in Burien WA on April 17, 1994.
He was taken on his forth birthday by CPS in Lansing MI on April 17, 1998.
His hair and eyes are brown.
He has a birthmark on his butt that looks like a bruise, strawberry marks on his eyelids and on the back of his neck.
He is fourteen years old.
He brought me nothing but joy until he was taken from me, and was a happy, smart, sweet little boy who knew that he was loved.
He has the face of an angel and has always been as kind and loving as one.
The agency who controlled my case is actually an adoption agency. I only found that out a couple of months ago. It’s been over ten years since they destroyed my family and peace of mind, and nearly ten years since I last saw my precious baby boy.
The agency name is Catholic Social Services/Saint Vincent Home for Children.
I used to believe that there had to be some truth to the allegations or I wouldn’t have lost him. But I’ve done nothing differently as a mother with my youngest and I’m always being told what a good job I’ve done with him. He’s a lot like my oldest son, Joseph.
To all of the grieving families who have been victimized by CPS just as I have, you know the pain of the bond between a parent and child being broken. The accusations of detatchment disorder, abuse, neglect, and watching the system inflict suffering on your children, ect…
None of it was substantial until the suffering began at the hands of CPS.
CPS is a modern-day Hitler, and our children are just a number, “case number/docket number,” in the modern-day concentration camps, “fosterhomes,” who, like slaves are paid for as property by the highest bidder.
But most of the older ones can’t be sold because they’re too old to brainwash and are conciddered, “damaged goods.” They become the runaways, drug adicts, prostitutes and criminals. They become the throw-aways, the forgotten, the homeless. I am one of them so I know what I am talking about, though I didn’t sell my body or have a criminal record.
And anyone who tries to tell you otherwise, anyone who takes CPS’s side and tells you that the social workers aren’t paid to screw us over, that some kids need to be taken from their families, that the social workers and other positions of authority don’t lie about you, that turn their heads in the other direction while the system is allowed to rape, kidnap and pillage our children, “while you are forced to watch and helpless to do anything about it, who wouldn’t hesitate to call CPS if their opinion of you is that of an unfit parent, is an ignorant, lying, stupid, naive, moron who doesn’t give a rat’s a$$, a flying f*ck, about anyone or anything as long as it doesn’t effect them. Their should be an origanization that protects us and our children from monsters like them!
Don’t believe a word they say or you might as well be buying waterfront property in Arizona. Let them find out the hard way what the real truth is and sit back and watch the waterworks when it happens to them.
That is the best time to educate them on the number of deaths of children in state custody are triple of those who die at the hands of a family member or a child preditor.
Then, maybe they will stop lying to us and themselves because they are forced to watch their children suffer too, and that’s if they are even human.

My son and daughter-in-law had their first born child taken away from them at birth in 1986. They were a married couple in their 20’s, and there were no charges of wrongdoing.
We contacted everyone we could for help, including KIRO T.V.. They interviewed the parents and it appeared on the evening news, but to no avail. Their baby daughter went straight from the hospital to a foster home.
They tried for years to get custody of her (Amanda), other family members tried to adopt her, but C.P.S. was determined to take her.
They had a son 1990 and were forced to sign their daughter away for adoption, or they were going to take both of them. Eventually they did take both.
Comment by Catherine Courtney — August 3, 2008 @ 2:05 pm
My story to put it as short as possible. During the marriage I was busy working, taking the kids to their activities, and whatever else happened to be going on. He said he had medical issues and had a hard time working, etc. I believed him as there was no reason not to.
What I didn’t know was he was abusive to the children when I was not around.
he was mentally abusive to me, but I dealt with it the best I could at the time because I had no where to go, no one to turn to. I was afraid if I left he would find me.
Well much later it came out some of the children were abused and thats when DHS came in.
I never disagreed it happened, just could not understand why? Where was I, why did I not know, etc etc.
Well because I could not understand and the trauma it caused the kids and myself. I was pulled in so many directions. Yes I knew this happened..I never disagreed, and I was so afraid to tell anyone I was scared. I felt like I had absolutely no protection at all. The other person is out of the picture nothing to worry about.
Well in order to get the kids back, I had to agree to a PAA and I completed everything as quickly as I could. It was said this was the best they had ever seen. I attended each and every meeting scheduled not missing once.
They sent me through 3 psychological testings on 3 different occasions.
I had much problem with one of the foster parents who had intended to adopt my boys. Each time this person could, she would call the worker on me, even went as far as lying about things that never happened.
Then as it came closer for me to have my children home, there was an accusation made, and thats all it took.
Along with that I had an issue that came up with one of my unsupervised visits. I told my kids not to say anything I would talk to the worker and let her know. It should have not been a big deal. It was nothing serious, nothing life threatening. I just did not want this foster parent to call and make things out to what it was not. I tried to explain this, and it did not mattr. Well, they made it into this huge deal that it was not. Between these 2 things they decided to go for termination.
I went through this huge trial of many days, and the judge terminated against me. Now my children are teens, so they are not small children. They wanted to be home, I said we would continue in counseling, etc. It did not matter.
Well I pursued my case to the court of appeals and I won unanimously. They said there was no reason to terminate and the children needed to be with the parent who is the most caring person to help them grow into adulthood.
DHS pursued it to the supreme court level. I had to retain an attorney and they agreed with the lower court. There is no judges signature on this paper, no reasons. It is signed by a clerk. It looks like the don’t even consider a case when it goes up there.

My son was taken in 2006 for HIS behavioral problems, sent first 2 hours away to several different group homes and foster homes which I later learned they ” knew were not suitable for my son but hey the foster parents wanted to give it a shot” so heck why not? He was moved 6 times in one year and finally moved over 6 hours away from me. When I told them I could not afford to drive that far to see him I was told and I quote ” move there”. I am disabled, with no income at this time. Currently fighting to get my SSI and only get to see my son every 3-4 months for 2-3 hours a visit after driving 6 hours ONE WAY. Each visit costs my mother, also on a fixed income $400 and believe me I thank GOD for her, without her I would have no visits with him.
In our county they would rather wash their hands of children like mine and yes get their bonuses for sending children to certain programs and homes for their ‘cut’ of the money.
We had some people here ready and willing to set up a school with teachers, therapists and counselors to take on behavioral children like mine in a small classroom setting with the money available but the ‘big wigs’ up state said NO. Why? Only they know. Needless to say the man that was willing to run the program got fed up with the B.S. and moved to another state.
In my county they would rather send our children to other counties so they don’t have to deal with them, while very low income parents like me, both single and two parent households, struggle to figure out how we can go see them.
To top it off if we voice our opinion on how wrong it is or how badly they are abusing our so called parent rights they strip us of all visiting rights. I learned that the hard way when I told the judge and gaurdian that they proved I HAD NO PARENT RIGHTS. If a organization or judge can come rip a child out of a home where a parent has DONE NO WRONG which was proven and they CLEARLY STATE I HAVE DONE NO WRONG, where are my so called parent rights??? Parent rights my hind end!!
I was told if my son met certain conditions and I did everything they told me I would get my son back. Now they say even though we have BOTH jumped through all their hoops that when he completes his program he is going to be put into foster care before he can come home. I ask WHY? I have no drug or alcohol history as their UA’S proved, yes I did those 2 times a week for many months until the judge ordered them to stop as I had no history of abuse. I still have to do them right before we go to court. What a joke.
I have no criminal history, I haven’t even had a speeding ticket in years. So why may I ask does my son have to go to foster care when he was taken from my home for HIS BEHAVIORAL problems??
Return my child and get the heck out of my life!!
Save the children that really, truly need to be saved and leave us hard working parents that take care of our children alone!!

This past Wednesday was our preliminary court hearing. For those who wonder if God can pull them out of this, we are living proof! We never had to testify, just sat and waited. Our lawyers came out and informed us that a deal had been made. All the accusations on my husband have been dropped! The no contact order has been lifted! DCS is now involved in trying to get my child help with her behavior problems instead of pointing fingers. Where I wish they would leave completely, I cannot turn down a state recommendation for a treatment facility. Praise God and all of His awesome wonder!
Comment by Heather O'Brien — August 3, 2008 @ 6:51 pm
In July 2006, my second daughter was 2 1/2 months old and my oldest daughter was a very active 3 1/2 year old. My 2 month old was in her car seat carrier in our 2005 Jayco camper on the table looking out the window. Dad, my husband, was waiting for me to come home from work so we could go camping for the weekend. We live in Ohio and July is HOT…so my husband set my daughter in the camper with the A/C running. He was packing last minute items when I got home. My oldest daughter ran into the camper and knocked my youngest off the table. We took her took Akron Children’s Hospital and to make a long story short, the doctor diagnosed her with Shaken Baby Syndrome?!?!?! WHAT? We couldn’t believe it. It seemed like the more you denied it the more they were convinced that we did something. My youngest was taken and put into foster care. I still cry and my heart aches when I think about it. CPS wanted us to voluntarily sign her over to them…NOT! Neither my husband nor myself could have ever signed those papers! So CPS went to the courts and had a court order issued for them to take her. She was in foster care for a week and then placed with my parents. THANK GOD!!! How does that work for us and not for other families??? Fortunately our experience with CPS was only 4 months long…the courts found that Rachel was NOT AN ABUSE CHILD. DUH! and she came home to us. Haven’t heard from CPS since. End of story…right?
NO…our whole family was forever changed. We spend over $60,000.!!! The money came from my dad’s retirement, my grandma’s life savings, and several other family members. I am so fortunate to have my family. We are all scared for life because of this walk through hell. I know for myself I can’t help but research ways to prevent this from happening to other families. The national and state laws need to be changed so that taking children is no longer a money maker for CPS. My daughter is just a number to them, just a statistic they can send to the Federal goverment for more money. She so much more to me!!!
I would welcome anyone with information about reform on our child abuse laws to send it to me…ldunkle@wadsnet.com
They need to be held accountable for the decisions they make. Currently they are immuned from any legal recourse. So why do they care how many times the lie, how many families they destroy, or how many children they take for no reason? It just doesn’t make sense.
My heart goes out to all of you who are still living in hell. My wish for you is strength and endurance. Don’t ever give up!

Well it’s final after one year court battle with cps the Judge has ruled against us adopting our grandchildren. Based on the fact that CPS did not consider us for adoption, but perfers the foster Mom to adopt. What type of foster mom would want to break up a family? I am sad, and angry. Will my grandchildren know how much we love and fought for them?

In july 2005 my 17 month old grandson was raped , burned with cigerette and had his arm broken by my daughters boyfriend, and as bad as this sounds it is something that he has recovered from (thank god) but whats been done by the Police and CPS is something that has hurt him and everyone in my family so badly that we will never recover.
This man was put in prison for a long time and im glad but in small town North Carolina this case drew a load of media attention, Thats the start of the whole problem. My grandson was taken at the hospital by CPS pending an investigation by police, They foundout that two weeks earlier he had suffered a broken leg so to keep the media attention it was my daughters fault and they charged her with child abuse and call in the tv reporters again, the day his leg was broken my daughter had been at work all day and picked him up that evening from day care , She drove two minutes to her mothers work and went inside. My grandson was not walking well and was complaining about his leg so she sat him down and looked and it was purple — It had been broken earlier — she took him to the hospital and they put a cast on it, It was a hair line fracture . The police say on the news and in the papers that my daughter did it and that it took alot of force and twisting to do that to his leg. Her attorny didnt handle felony cases and they knew that so some how it was changed to a felony child abuse charge and they called the tv reporter out again and the police chief held an arrest warrent up on tv saying that if she would turn herself in they would save her the embarrasment of coming to get her — I think thousands of poeple seeing that was more damage to her myself. My daughter was 19 at the time so her life was ruined there and then. Now come CPS — Shes forced to by evaluated to see if shes mentaly fit to have a child — Shes forced to take drug tests and family planning classes, and anything else they deside to do. The docter that evaluated her for mental problems put in his report BOLD FACED LIES about her being kicked out of mine and my girlfriends house and sent to her mothers because we didnt want her .. She wasnt given this report but read it on the desk at DSS office while they wasnt watching — While all this is going on she gets pregnant again and her baby is comming a month early. She called DSS and said can you tell my son his little brothers on the way — So CPS starts the wheels turning and gets the papers together and in less than 20 hours after his birth they walked into my daughters room and took her premature baby from her arms and took him to foster care — The reason? PENDING CHILD ABUSE CHARGES — They had no proof — no case - but tried to beat her down mentaly into pleading guilty of child abuse — They said if you just plead guilty it will all be over-
CPS said in the court hearing about taking the new baby that my daughter had failed drug tests and had been taking cocain–they were under oath- There was no paper to prove it passed to the judge and no test result shown in court at all and they took her baby — After weeks of pressure on CPS and threats to have those tests shown in court they finally said that maybe the person just missread it ! But they still kept her baby — She doesnt do drugs and never has
She tried again having another child and they foundout about it and took it too, WHY? PENDING CHILD ABUSE CHARGES
After nearly three years of torture and lies and ruining her chance of ever having a life they finaly gave up and charged her with child neglect and talked her into pleading guilty by saying then she could work on getting her children back shes just got out of jail for not paying her probation charges — she was in county jail about thirty days and then sent to state prison for another twenty but her sentense was only 45 days– Now shes lost the only job she could get and shes behind on child support charges there charging her for the children shes had taken from her — Now that shes free of all charges the news papers and tv havent put one single word in that she was not guilty of child abuse NOT ONE WORD — in the mean time CPS is still saying you cant get your children back unless you DO ANY STUPID THING THEY ASK KNOWING ITS NOT GOING TO HELP
I have so much more to this story that you wouldnt believe — I tried everything and every where — NC Gov office - SBI- NC attornys accosiation , Senaters , State office over CPS — Nobody wants to touch it
How much more can we take ?
Comment by Dennis Bobbitt — August 4, 2008 @ 9:19 am
Well, tomorrow we have our pre-trial hearing on the charges my husband is facing. For anyone who has not been readign the past several months. My story is in the Februay guestbook I beleive. Anyway, my daughter accused my husbad of touching her. That was when she was 14, she is 16 now and has changed her story many times over. We got a letter from CPS two months ago that said they declared that the abuse was RULED OUT. So here we go tomorrow to see if the courts agree and will drop the charges. Please pray for my family. If I had a shred of doubt in my mind that this happened, I wouldnt be with my husband. But thankfully our 14 year old son abd our baby 1 year old girl are with us. And thank God my daughter is with my mother and not in a foster home. My God be with us tomorrow and everyday. Thanks for listening.

To Whom It May Concern:
Since our last court Date:
1. Cindy has yet to return my mother belongings.
2. She has brought yet another man in my kids lives, that is touching Toni, and Aaron
Even after they have both expressed to me they don’t like it.
3. The older sister was aloud to choke Little Aaron.
4. Cindy Helped the bennets get in the same shelter as the Kids.
5. Cindy was kick out the program, I informed Dorothy Torres (CPS)
That there was a court order in place keeping the bennets away, and CPS
Placed my kids in harms away. Dorothy Torres said she had no control over where
The kids are placed. , And she not aware of the court orders.
I faxed a copy of the court order to her, Nancy at CPS said Dorothy was miss informed that there were many shelters that Edith could have place them in.
CPS was not going to tell the court that this had happened.
Nancy Morrison had no knowledge of this happening till I informed her.
6. Cindy is concerned that the Kids will not get their homework done.
But when the kids were in school I had to catch up Monday, and Tuesday home work because she was not doing it.
7. I asked if I could take the kids the canceller, because Mom was not doing it.
That was order by this court.
8. She ganged up on my son with his first consoler, trying to make him admit
He had touched the bennets little girl, and that made him sad.
9. My son told me mommy is still smoking, but they were black, and smelled funny.
They are called blunts (pot)
10. Cindy told the court that her credit is so bad that no one would rent to her.
11. The court told Cindy to keep the kids in the same school till the court has settled
This mess. She is now trying to take them out of the school they have known all their life, and yet cause more instability in their life.
12. CPS has placed the person that started this mess (Nichole Hayes) Back on this case, as the case supervisor. Nichole told me she was going to try to take my children from me.
13. I have put in a complaint against San Mateo County on the way this has been
Handled
14. Garry Beasley was told by Rene smiley to take care of the canceling, and the psyche eval he just ran the clock out.
They sent me to the same consoler as Cindy, I told her my concerns, and that I was there to go thru with the eval. (Dorothy Edith, Martin and Nichole were discussing my case plan with Cindy, and Cindy Told my niece Raquel that the court was going to take to kids from me. The consoler cut the eval, All along Dorothy lead me to believe that this consoler was a separate consoler, in full knowledge that I would fill unconvertible in having her do my eval.
15. If the court would like me to take urine test on a regular basis, I will be willing to
Do so (at the county expense) but I would like to remind the court that Cindy said the same thing about Todd, Terry, and now me.
16. I want to add that Cindy has put in false acquisition against all three of her last
Major relationships
17. I would like to ask the court when Cindy will be held accountable for her lies.
When is this court going to make her do what the court has asked of her?
You told her to take the kid in for concealing, you told her to return my mothers
Things, you told her not to take the kids out of San Mateo and she was going to
Anyway, you told her never to bring the kids around the bennets she did any way
You told her not to move the kids out of their school she is trying to any way.
When will She be stopped??
18. She took my daughter and gave her all of her ammunitions shots over,
So she would not have to face the kid’s doctor, because she knows she was wrong. All she had to do is go there and get a copy of the records.
And they have had insurance thru my work all the time. But she took them to a homeless shelter doctor. Her doctor said this could have made her sick.
19. Nancy Morrison told me that Cindy told her that I evicted her from the apt.
Cindy Lied to her face, Nancy also told me that she was going to write the recommendations as they were before even before we began talking.
She implied I was a liar before I got out the gate.
She said I call the mom a liar, the only time I did was when the mom told my children that I was a murder, and I replied that is a lie.
20. Nancy is getting very forget full, I asked her to help me get CPS to do what was
Order by the court, and what I was promised by CPS and she did nothing to help me, she said that she would call over there and try to get them moving, And call me latter that week, she never did. I think she forgot or didn’t care.
21. Cindy told Nancy that she has beening seeing a canceller all along, she started in late June she has only been see five times. I would have started when my case plan was singed, But Gary Beasley ran the clock out, and I could not afford 75 dollars a week.
22. Little Aaron was sick for almost three weeks, I follow what the home less shelter
Asked from us, Cindy knew about his medication, she didn’t have him finish his
Prescription.
23. Debbie Crandall Cover up
My lawyer was brought involved in this matter, she had been calling Ernest office (at the last minute) Monday the start of their spring break. Trying to get me to take the kids for the week.
I had asked the kids two weeks before when it was because I had a feeling she was going to have me take them. I was going to take the time off.
When I said I had to work, Cindy set my son up, and tried to put him in the hospital 72-hour hold, she called Ernest (my lawyer) said Aaron was trying to hurt himself. And he was on his way to the hospital.
What came out was Cindy was trying to get he to dump the garbage he refused.
She pushed him to the ground and spit in his face. I took the week off so I could watch them, and get them out of Moms hair, then in court she said he was just trying to give me visitation Really the Bennets wanted the kids out of the house for the week. Debbie Crandall said went way over the top but did nothing about it.
24. Nancy said Cindy was breaking no court order to speak of what about this list.

Comment by AaronShinabery — August 5, 2008 @ 9:58 am
It’s important to know that when CPS tells a person to take a class it’s only SUGGESTED, IT HAS NOT NECESSARILY BEEN COURT ORDERED. Don’t let CPS rule by terror and/or hearsay, if there was no abuse then why plea bargain with CPS. Don’t take their classes… What you can do (Possible solution) is look for an accredited provider/school on the Internet and take your own class. After completion serve all parities involved that you took your OWN class and passed. Use a legal proof of service signed by someone eighteen years of age or older.
The only time you have to absolutely take a class is when the Judge orders it. Remember to concentrate only on your case while it is on going. Protesting can wait, your child(ren) and peace of mind are way more important. Know your State and Local Rules of court. Create a timeline of events. Gather EVIDENCE and make lots of copies, Learn to write motions, Get your min orders or docket, Review your case file every couple of weeks, Create letterhead for yourself, Dress up for court, Have a third party transcribe recordings and sign, Video tape, Most importantly keep every communication with CPS IN WRITING. If you win your case there is the possibility that you can file a Federal lawsuit (Complaint) for Negligence or other reason.
In California there is Government code 820.21 which states:
California Government Code
820.21. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, the
civil immunity of juvenile court social workers, child protection
workers, and other public employees authorized to initiate or conduct
investigations or proceedings pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with
Section 200) of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code shall not extend to any of the following, if committed with
malice:
(1) Perjury.
(2) Fabrication of evidence.
(3) Failure to disclose known exculpatory evidence.
(4) Obtaining testimony by duress, as defined in Section 1569 of
the Civil Code, fraud, as defined in either Section 1572 or Section
1573 of the Civil Code, or undue influence, as defined in Section
1575 of the Civil Code.
(b) As used in this section, “malice” means conduct that is
intended by the person described in subdivision (a) to cause injury
to the plaintiff or despicable conduct that is carried on by the
person described in subdivision (a) with a willful and conscious
disregard of the rights or safety of others.
You might think that this has nothing to do with you… Maybe you live out of state… But in any state you can use the verbiage in this code to write letters and fight back… Letter writing is a wonderful tool to attempt to get evidence provided back to you, if you’re unable to write well then find someone who can help you. Don’t let CPS question you, you question them. But this must be done in a professional manner, without finger pointing, for example the way you might discuss a company issue with your own boss. Unfortunately your dealing with corrupt people who don’t abide by the laws, so get your evidence filed with the court. Don’t be surprised if your court appointed attorney (Ct. Processor) and those within the corrupt corporate system don’t follow the codes, statutes, or other regulations. Refute their allegations… Corrupt attorney’s and system employees are the true creators of PAS, it is nothing more than Parental Alienation for defense or Brain Washing and it’s been around ever since the beginning of man kind. CPS instigates PA for a winning financial outcome to cases. Don’t forget that those corrupt attorney’s become the Judges of tomorrow. If the glove doesn’t fit you must acquit.
Fight for the child(ren) and Grandchildren spend your money on your case not on donations, when your case is over, then go after the appropriate entities as applicable.

My grandmother called me today and I asked her if she was mad at me because she sounded angry and short tempered. She said she didn’t know why I thought she was mad at me because she has never gotten mad at me. I told her I sent my daughter a second letter because I didn’t recognize her handwriting on the delivery receipt. She told me that Kerry, (my “mother”,) called her and told her that my letter and pictures to my daughter made everyone, INCLUDING my daughter very upset.According to Kerry, my daughter, Lyndsey-Reine, hates me and wants nothing to do with me. So “Operation Drop Bomb” wasn’t a good idea afterall.
I have no regrets for telling my daughter the truth about everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING. But it breaks my heart that my mother made me out to be an uncaring, abusive, neglectful monster. So now I’m a 32 year-old woman with no mother, no father, no sister and now no daughter. I am a throwaway. It’s official.
Now I wonder what is going to come out of finding what happened to my son, Joseph, who wont be 18 years of age until April 17, 2012. Does he hate me too? I can’t think of anything worce than losing a child.
IT’S NOT NATURAL FOR A MOTHER TO NOT WANT HER CHILD, A CHILD THAT WHEN SHE CHOSE TO GIVE BIRTH, WAS CALLED BY GOD TO NUTURE AND PROTECT THE INNOCENT DEFENSELESS BEING THAT WAS GIVEN BY GOD AS A BLESSING AND A GIFT…
IT’S NOT NATURAL FOR A CHILD TO NOT WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS OR HER MOTHER. EVEN AN ADOPEE HAS SOME CURIOSITY AS TO WHY HE OR SHE WAS GIVEN UP FOR ADOPTION. WHO FEELS THE NEED TO SEEK OUT AND BOND WITH THEIR LONG LOST PARENT.
I am devistated.
I remember my daughter to be a sweet and kind person who wouldn’t hurt someone on purpose, my daughter isn’t the same person. Kerry destroyed the innosence that was once so beautiful with lies. It will never be the same again…

I pray for anyone who is unfortunate to become entangled in the vicious web of Child Protection Services. Just remember knowledge is power, and with the right amount of power, you shall over come.
Comment by Jessica Lynn Hepner — August 8, 2008 @ 1:25 am
Diando’s comments are so true. CPS counts on the fact that we will cooperate out of fear and agree to anything they say. They are not used to people fighting back in an (for lack of a better word) educated manner. They make it sound like if we don’t take “their” class we will lose our chidren permanently. I was forced into counseling this way, told that if I did not “cooperate” my child would be taken from me. I would have agreed to anything and they knew it. If you must go to counseling, get your own if at all possible, not one of the state counselors at the mental health center. I didn’t think to find my own and couldn’t have afforded one anyway, so I ended up at the mental health center. Luckily my counselor was an older man just months away from retirement. He hated dealing with CPS and was on my side. His letter to CPS that I was not suicidal and was a good mother did a lot toward getting my case closed.

Comment by Christina Seymour — August 8, 2008 @ 8:34 pm
I just want to tell all of you here how sorry I am that any of us have had to endure the pain that CPS can cause in families lives. I lost physical custody of my one-year old daugter over four years ago now and I just don’t think I will ever recover from it. My daughter was the sunshine in my life and I’m just a shell of my former self since losing her. I realize that there are valid child abuse-child, child neglect, child sexual molestation and child-starvation cases so there is a valid need for CPS. However my case and most of the cases I read about here are NOT such cases. I love to quote the author that stated that CPS “takes children from places that are not that bad and puts them in strange places that are not that good and completely ignores the importance of the bond between parent and child.” I don’t know if I will ever get over losing my little girl-I talked to her on the phone today for the first time this year and I have been an emotional mess ever since hearing her voice…hearing her complain that her “other mommy” doesn’t gives her baths, spanks her alot and she doesn’t even have underwear. My daughter was taken from me on February 25th, 2004 in northern California. She had turned one earlier in the month. In hindsight I realize that I never should have called CPS to “help” me find daycare for my daughter 4 months earlier. When my daughter was 9 months old I discovered that her father was using drugs and cheating on me. We already had alot of problems in our relationship but finding out he was using drugs sealed the deal-I was done with him. We had had a screaming match fight a few weeks earlier and the neighbors called the police. They made a report that we had been fighting in front of my daughter and they arrested him for an outstanding warrant from missing a court date from before I even knew him. Finding out that he had been using drugs while taking care of our daughter while I worked days was the last straw. However I didn’t think about who would take care of my little girl if I kicked him out of the house. I went back to work when my baby was 6 months old and I worked days while her father worked nights. After three weeks of relying on my friends to watch my daughter for 6-7 hours a day while I went to work I ran out of options. My family lives on the east coast and we have an extremely strained relationship. I swallowed my pride and called my mother and begged her to take in me and my daughter as I couldn’t make ends meet as a single mother trying to survive in northern California. She heartlessly told me she could not live with me and couldn’t take in my ten-month old daughter. It is not that she couldn’t-it’s that for whatever reason she wouldn’t. I was desperate and had no where to turn. After breastfeeding my daughter to sleep I got out the phone book and ended up calling CPS and was transferred to a social worker. A female social worker came out to my house and we talked. I told her that I desperately needed child care immediately but that I only made enough at my job to pay for rent, groceries, car insurance and the household bills. She was very understanding that I could not afford daycare for my daughter. She was very nice and warm and explained that she would help me get funding for daycare but urged me to place my daughter in voluntary temporary foster care so that I could get to work that week and not lose my job. She understood my urgency that if I called in to work one more time because I didn’t have a babysitter I would lose my job and I was scared that me and my baby woould end up on the streets. I balked at her suggestion of putting my daughter in foster care! NO WAY was I going to do that…but I didn’t know where to take my daughter while I was at work so within a couple of days I called her back and agreed to it. I was forced to place my baby in voluntary foster care for three days because of a lack of money. I met with the foster mother every afternoon when I got off work so I culd breastfeed my daughter and spend time with her. Each time when I strapped my daughter into her car seat and said good-bye she screamed and screamed and nothing could ever break my heart more than that. After three days I told the social workers that I HAD to have my daughter back the next day and they agreed and told me they had gotten me approved for funding for childcare. I picked my daughter up the next morning and was ecstatic to have her back! I never wanted to be apart from her again as just three days had felt like an eternity. We moved into low-income housing which I had been on the waiting list for for two years and I dropped my daughter off at daycare 5 days a week while I went to work. Everything seemed to be getting better so I was happy with my decision to call CPS and ask for help. About two months later my daughter started throwing up alot and having bad diarrhea. Of course I took her to her pediatrician who spent 5 minutes with her and said it was a stomach flu and it should go away within a week. Ten days passed and my one-year old was pale, lethargic, and not getting any better. The people that worked at her daycare were wonderful and they really loved myself and my daughter. I had made them fully aware of my daughter’s symptoms and since none of the other children were coming down with her “flu” they allowed her to still come to daycare so I wouldn’t lose my job. I took my daughter to see her pediatrician twice more as she started throwing up even water and breastmilk after being sick for two weeks. That *idiot* doctor said I was over-reacting and told me bananas would help stop the diarrhea. That doctor’s medical advice could have killed my daughter. I ignored him and after leaving his office for the THIRD time in two weeks I drove straight to the emergency room of the Santa Cruz hospital-DOMINICAN HOSPITAL. I checked my daughter in and we waited only a few minutes. The nurses and doctors there immediately hooked her up to an IV of fluids as she was dangerously dehydrated. We spent the next 6 days in a quarantined room on the children’s unit. After a ton of tests my daughter was diagnosed with the rota-virus which can be deadly for infants and the elderly. I will admit that I had an extremely emotional time while I was cooped up 24-7 in that room with my baby. When social workers came to talk with me (I had no idea they were CPS workers) I cried and told them how stressed out I was, how angry at her pediatrician I was, how much I needed to keep my job, how worried I was that my daughter had been vomiting everything I fed her for two straight weeks, etc. etc.
On the day my daughter was getting released from the hospital-all her symptoms now gone-she was sitting on my lap in the hospital bed and watching the Teletubbies, eating animal crackers. Two social workers and a police officer walked into the hospital room and demanded I hand over my daughter. I absolutely lost it and started crying and refused. They had to forcefully take her from me and I was physically hit by the police officer and handcuffed in front of my now-screaming one-year old daughter. They told me she was being taken as they were diagnosing her with “FAILURE TO THRIVE”.
I did everything presented to me in the “Family-Re-unification” Plan but within 7 months my parental rights were terminated. I have a really hard time talking about those first seven months after my daughter was taken because of the immense emotional, psychological, and even physical pain I endured. I am not a perfect perrson but one of the things I know I did well in my life was take exceptional care of my daughter. Losing her has broken me as a person. I know that is depressing to read but it’s the truth. I understand why parents that lose their children to the fucked-up system of “justice” we have go a bit mad and shoot up CPS buildings or their case workers. I pray that my daughter will never think I didn’t fight like hell to stay in her life.

Hi, my ex recently had a running in with a women who know how to work the system….She attacked my ex-husband accusing him of physical and mental abuse which is very false since she was the one breaking his personal belongings. Along with that she accused him of falsehoods with our 8 years old daughter. This women was in our lives for 6 weeks and has created mayhem kicking him out of his house and alienating him from his children. She turned him in to child protective services and now they are requesting an audience with me and her(8 year old). My question is what are her rights and who can I go to for help. i can’t understand why they would immediately include her when these are only accusations and they have now proof of any misgivings,yet they want to expose my daughter to this so soon. I feel trap to follow the law yet I need to protect her from their wrong misconceptions in this case.

465 children were taken by CPS in Texas.
We do not ask you to endorse the FLDS, but
if we lose those 465, what chance do you have?
What they did in Texas is now galvanizing the entire Country against CPS Join us, and we join you.

HEY MY NAME IS NICOLE. I HAVE TWO WONDERFUL MISSED AND LOVED DAUGHTERS WHOM I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO SEE IN A YEAR.. THIS STORY GOES WAY BACK LONG AGO BACK TO 2004. FIRST AND FOREMOST AT THAT TIME MY FIRST DAUGHTER WAS 6 MONTHS OLD.. HER FATHER COMMITTED MURDER ONE NIGHT WHEN HE WAS RESPONSIPLE FOR HER CARING.. I WASN’T HOME.. I WAS AT A FRIENDS PARTY. YEA I WAS YOUNG AND STUPID AT THE AGE BARELY 20 YR.OLD AND AT 3AM HE CAME THERE TO THE EXACT PLACE WHERE HE COMMITTED THE MURDER . HE LEFT MY DAUGHTER AT 6 MONTHS OLD IN OUR APARTMENT BY HERSELF. I HAD TO CALL HIS MOM TO GO PICK HER UP FOR THE POLICE WONT NOT LET ME LEAVE TOHE SCENE. OF COURSE YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW THAT WENT.. NOT WELL.. I WAS TOOKEN TO THE STATION AND PUT INTO A ROOM WITH HIM AFTER I WAS QUESTIONED ABOUT WHY HE’D DO IT WHICH I DIDN’T KNOW. IN THE ROOM WITH HIM,, HE WAS ALREADY ON THE PHONE TALKING TO HIS MOM AND WAS YELLING AT ME.. BLAMING ME FOR WHAT HAPPENED.. I ASKED TO TALK TO HIS MOM AND I GOT THAT CHANCE. SHE WAS SAYING SHE WON’T GIVE MY DAUGHTER BACK.. I WAS ANGRY AND SAD.. AT THAT TIME I LOST THE MAN I THOUGHT I KNEW FOR 6 YEARS AND LOVED AND I AM NOW AT THOUGHT TO BE AT BATTLE FOR MY OWN BLOODED DAUGHTER. THOSE FEW WEEKS AFTER WAS HELL.. I GOT DEPRESSED AND GAVE UP MY JOB. HIS MOM CALLED CPS ON ME FOR AT THE TIME I DIDN’T KNOW WHY.. I SURPOSE IT WAS BECAUSE I WON’T DEFEND HER SON. HIS FAMILY BLAMED ME FOR HIS DOING.. THEY REFUSED FROM THE TIME HIS MOM PICKED UP MY DAUGHTER TO NOT GIVE HER BACK.. OVER THE PERIOD OF A MONTH I TRIED TO FIGHT BACK BUT HAD NO RESOURCES TO DO SO.. MY FAMILY LIVES IN WISCONSIN AND I WAS IN ARIZONIA SO I HAD NO ONE TO HELP ME AT THE TIME.. AFTER I MOVED INTO ANOTHER APARTMENT WITH A ROOMMATE . HIS MOM OFFERED FOR ME TO LIVE WITH HER FOR AWHILE.. SO I APPLED BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE MY DAUGHTER.. I THEN ONCE THERE MET WITH A CPS WORKER WHO DIDN’T TELL ME WHAT WAS REPORTED NEITHER DID HE TELL ME WHY I COUDN’T TAKE MY DAUGHTER AWAY. ALL HE SAID WAS DON’T WORRY I DIDN’T DO ANYHING WRONG AND THIS WAS ONLY FOR MY DAUGHTERS SAKE INTILL I GET ON MY FEET AGAIN.. HE MADE ME SIGN THE 6 MONTHS TEMPOARY CUSTODY TO THE GRANDMA AND I DID THINKING MAYBE IT’LL HELP A LITTLE. HE TOLD ME HE DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE THIS TO COURT SO I COMPLYED. I WAS YOUNG AND NOT SMART ABOUT THE LAW OR ANYTHING ON COURT. AFTER 2 MONTHS I THEN MOVED TO MY BABYT FATHERS SISTERS HOUSE, WHILE BEING TOLD IT WOULD HELP AND I WOULD STILL GET TO SEE MY DAUGHTER.. WHICH I WAS BARELY TRUE. I DID INFACT GET A JOB WHILE LIVING WITH HER AND I WAS ABLE TO FEED NOT JUST ME BUT HER AND HER HUSBAND ASWELL. IN JANUARY 2005 THEY(THE DAUGHTER AND GRANDMA) TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GIVE UP MY RIGHTS TO THEM BECAUSE THE CPS WORKER TOLD THEM TO TELL ME.. KINDA REALLY MESSED UP BUT THEY PROMISED THAT THEY’D GIVE HER BACK ONCE I GOT ON MY FEET ONCE AGAIN AND TALKED ME INTO DOING IT SO I COULD HAVE TIME TO GET MY OWN PLACE.. TRULLY THEY DID ME DIRTY.. I HAD TO FIGHT FOR 2 IN AHALF YEARS TO FINALLY GET HER BACK AND THEY DID NOT VOLUNTEERLY GIVE HER BACK.. THAT WAS IN 2007 WHEN I GOT CUSTODY BACK. BACK IN 2006 I HAD ANOTHER CHILD YET AGAIN A GIRL.. SHE WAS WITH ME SINCE BIRTH. SO THE GIRLS KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE I GOT CIUSTODY BACK IN 2007. I ALSO GOT MARRIED IN 2007 AND I HAD 4 STEPSONS WHOM ONLY 1 LIVED WITH ME WHO WAS 4YEARSOLD. YES I WAS HAPPY AND HAD MY FAMILY . THEN I MADE A BIG DECISION.. IT WAS IMPORTANT.. I WANTED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO GET MY GED, GO TO COLLEGE AND GET SOME CAREERS IN WHAT I LIKED. I WANTED TO BE MORE FOR MY CHILDREN THAN A HOUSE HOME. ONLY ONE PROBLEM THAT HAD TO MAKE ME THINK INTO WANT I HAD TO DO IN MY DECISION. BACK WHEN I WAS BARELY 18 I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRIME AND IT INVOLVED A ROBBERY AND THEFT SO I HAD A WARRANT IN MY HOME TOWN IN WISONSIN.. NOW IN ORDER FOR ME TO GO TO COLLEGE AND ENROLL IN SCHOOLS AND GET A BETTER FUTURE I HAD TO DECIDE TO COME BACK TO WISCONSIN AND FIX MY PROBLEM.. SO I MADE PLANS.. IT WAS ALSO I VERY HEART ACHING DECISION TOO FOR MY WHOLE FAMILY IS HERE AND I HAVEN’T SEEN THEM SINCE I WAS 18. THEY DIDN’T EVEN KNOW MY DAUGHTERS AND THAT HIT A SPOT ON ME THAT I HAVE FAMILY THATS DYING ANG THEY ASKED TO SEE MY GIRLS BEFORE THEY PASS.. IN THE SHORT RUN AGAIN I TOLD MY ELDEST DAUGHTERS GRANDMA THAT I WAS LEAVING AND I GOING TO LIVE IN WISCONSIN. SHE TOTALLY FLIPPED OUT.. YES YOU KNOW IT.. SHE CALLED CPS AND CLAIMED THAT I WAS ABUSIVE AND SUCH.. THEY DID COME AND CHECK IT OUT.. I’LL NEVER FORGET SHE WAS KIND AND ON MY SIDE..(TEAR) SHE LEFT MY HOUSE WITH A SMILE AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS GOOD TO GO WITH MY GIRLS TO GO BACK HOME TO SOLVE MY PROBLEMS.. FOR MY HOUSE AND KIDS HAD EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED. FOOD, CLOTHS , CLEAN AND HEALTHY.. SO YET AGAIN THE GRANDMA WASN’T HAPPY FOR HER TRICK DIDN’T WORK THIS TIME… (I GOT SMART OVER TIME). NOW WHAT SHE DID THO.. WAS TOTALLY DIRTY AND WRONG IN ALL DOINGS THAT IVE EVER KNOWN.. FIRST SHE OFFERED TO BUY MY AIRPLANE TICKET SO OUT OF KINDNESS I TOLD HER SHE COULD SPEND THE WEEK WITH THE GIRLS SO THEY COULD SAY GOODBYE.. WRONG MOVE I MADE IN THAT.. THE VERY NEXT DAY WHILE I WAS AT HER HOUSE AND BABYSITING MY NOW ATTHE TIME 3YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (THE OLDEST) WHILE MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WENT WITH HER TO RUN TO GO SOMEWHERE.. I THOUGHT INNOCENT OF IT AT THE TIME NOW KNOWING WHAT WOULD BE THE OUT COME.. SHE CAME BACK TO THE HOUSE AND I SPENT MORE TIME WITH THE GIRLS WHILE I PACKED THEIR BAGS TO GO AND PUT INTO HER TRUNK FOR THE WEEK AHEAD.. (TEAR0) LATER THAT DAY THEY DROPED ME OFF AT MY HOUSE..

THEY ADMITED THEY’RE WRONG .. THEY SAID THEY ONLY DID THAT BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE MY DAUGHTER.. SAYING SHE’D BE FAR AWAY ANDINC.. SO WE MADE A AGREEMENT THAT I WON’T GO TO THE COURT WITH THE CHARGES AGAINST THEM IF THEY SENT ME BACK HOME THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY WOULD TELL THE COURT THAT THEY WERE WRONG AND TELL THEM THEY ,MADE A MISTAKE ..

I read story after story all the same. I forgot for a moment I live in the United States of America…Where are our rights??? My father quoted an author “POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUT POWER CORRUPTS ABOLUTLY” I believe that this the line. It is so very true. My story is much like all of yours. I did get my daughter back after many month and many thousands of dollars but my husband can’t be here. Yes as in every case on here he did nothing wrong and my daughter told those people she lied… but that is not what they wanted to believe so…
Anyway how can we change this system. I think we need gain a voice and very loud voice for change! If we try to do this by ourselfs we know we will be intimidated, If I hear one more time… If you do that you will never see your daughter again. If you don’t do this we will take your daughter away for good. Its bull. I am a responsible adult, my husband and I have been upstanding members of our community. Neither one of us has a criminal record we don’t do drugs and…I don’t this either one of us has had a traffic ticket in years. None of the that matters. The judge tells me I can’t pray with my daughter, undo influence. My father could tell her to tell the truth because its too much pressure for a 10 year old. CPS works lying and miss stating facts… or withhold facts from the court. My father kept telling me I have personal rights as an american, He reminded me he fought for those rights…He learned they way we all did… you have no personal rights within the CPS system. It is a closed system. They monitor themselves. There is no one over seeing what is going on in the court and within the walls of CPS… It has to change.
May God Bless each of you, Please pray for our system it seems to me we will need the hand of God to get anything changed!

DC Here I come again. The website is: DCFestival08. It’s gonna be BIG, hopefully bigger than last year’s! I pray that each & every one of our stories here will be HEARD & this effort is not in vain. CPS MUST BE STOPPED!

I have a friend who is in the grip of CPS and it is amazing to me that these people are so quick to act on mere allegations and treat them as if they were actual police reports! What happened to innocent until proven guilty? I have not seen where the child’s best interest has been taken into consideration. I have seen the CPS strong arming that takes place when forcing services that were not needed it makes me uneasy. I have lots of misgivings with a court that rules with only allegations. Social workers who distort fact, and a dependency court that seems to have lost their objectivity due to job security.
Sincerely,
N. Watson

Today’s thought…
When involved in a CPS case I’d like to suggest that all communications be done in Writing to avoid he said she said types of arguments with Corrupt CP$ agents looking to twist what was said for Title lV Funding. If you do wish to verbalize your statements then they should be voice recorded appropriately per your state laws. Purchase yourself a digital recorder, if you wish to transcribe you may also purchase a transcription machine from a local office supply store. Transcribe any messages or legal recordings and have a third party listen to the recording and put their name to the transcription as being heard verbatim and transcribed to the best of their belief. Have them sign the document. Use number ruled paper 1-28 or pleading paper.
I encourage you to look up State and Local rules of court, know your legal codes, go on a fact finding mission to collect evidence to REFUTE what CP$ is claiming in their fictitious petition(s). Learn to OBJECT and do it as needed, learn how to create motions, and learn how to write or find someone who can. Create a timeline of events. Buy a calendar book and write in it EVERY TIME you have a communication from anyone regarding your case. Dress well for court, make yourself LOOK like an attorney and act professional showing no adverse emotion. Spell check your writing and have a friend or family member proofread it… Nobody is perfect.
See the attached SAMPLE letter designed for education purposes, do a “save as” and think about reconstructing a letter to CP$. Request documents from them. NOTE in this letter there is a timeline that provides them with how events took place. Also note evidence is provided, so that you have given them notice of your innocence and cc: others who maybe a party to the case.
Mail this certified with the certified number written on the letter. Delivery confirmation and Express mail work well too. But make sure the certified number or appropriate number is written on the letter. You may want to attach a proof of service. The certified number can be looked up after two or three days on the USPS website. Save the letter, enclosures along with the confirmation that it was received. When you provide evidence to these people and others showing that you are not guilty of any wrongdoing then this evidence becomes exculpatory and if hidden can be used at a later date in an appeal or Federal lawsuit. The letter and evidence may also be filed with moving papers.
If there was NO abuse then contest your case… Don’t plea bargain, Don’t take classes, Don’t mediate, FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS. When you write be professional and don’t point fingers and you may get an answer that will benefit you and can also be filed with the court. If you don’t get an answer write again and again. Drown them in paper work. It is also a good way to create a PAPER TRAIL for your benefit. If you’d like to near the end of the letter you may request that they respond to you within five working days and if you don’t get a response then it will be your belief that all language within said letter is deemed to be truthful and correct. Don’t fall victim to the terrorist threats.
Imagine if NO BODY took classes offered by CP$ and fought their case… STOP IMMUNITY…
Smile your not alone…

RE: Charity Beback Case / FD62634
CPS Withholding of Visitation Under False Pretense
CPS Failure to Timely Complete Monitor Assessment
CPS Reporting Same Allegations Over and Over
Dear Ms. Social:
I am writing to clarify a number of issues and will include documents backing up my statements. I ask that the CPS investigative narratives be properly noted to include the evidence that I provide so that Charity isn’t subjected to anal/vaginal assault testing over and over. This is not in her best interest. Charity has never been assaulted, and for CPS to keep bringing up the same false allegation over and over is criminal. I am also including a photo album of Charity on her visitation with me, as well as a copy of the Certificate of Completion of Child Abuse Training taken on August 30, 2007. Charity enjoys her visits and is not abused.
I ask that we schedule a meeting at Franken Furtter, PhD’s office. He has graciously offered his office for a meeting. CPS erred regarding his qualifications. He is not a psychologist or an MFC/MFT. He is a psychoanalyst who works with UWBA’s Department of Neuroscience. Wisconsin law considers it in the best interest of a child to have continued contact with both parents. I ask that we work toward this goal.
According to paperwork received, a trial will take place on October 10, 2007 unless issues in this case are resolved. I have made every attempt to resolve our problems and am willing to help as necessary to see Mona Lott through drug and alcohol rehabilitation so that she will be able to parent our child. I am calling to your attention that the CPS’ CII continues to be inaccurate, even though I pled not guilty to the 1977-1981 Corruption charges, and all were dismissed per PC 1223.4. Note dates of events and the fact that the alleged Warrant has no case number.

On November 13 or 15, 2003 Charity was taken to Harry Mayo Hospital for illness. She had tactile fevers, ear pain, coughing, and a painful rash on her left arm. There were other body rash areas and she had itching in the perineal area. She was discharged on Acyclovir (oral antiviral drug used in HIV/AIDS and other viral infections) and Bactroban to apply locally to lesions. There were also many trips into other physicians for sinus infections, upper respiratory infections, and asthma. During these visits Charity was placed on antibiotics. A side effect of antibiotics is yeast infection. Once Charity contracted these problems they persisted. After using the Bactroban, Mona Lott began sending along Lotrimin cream, Cortisone cream, and other ointments that might control Charity’s perineal yeast infection. My mother and I both put these creams on Charity’s body and perineal area to control the rash. At no time was ointment placed into her. Pointing to her pubic area did not constitute pointing to her privates. I may be able to confirm the purchase of the various creams that were used to treat Charity’s vulva/perineal rash. They were purchased at Savon on Money Canyon Rd, Santa Fe Springs.
Allegations against Al Beback
In 2006 Charity reports to CSW Amy Holligan that her father placed medicated ointment on her only once when she was five. The story is told over and over, but it comes down to one event of a father putting ointment on his child because she had a yeast infection and the child’s mother asking him to do it.
All allegations of Charity being sexually assaulted are unfounded. Mona Lott and CPS have filed the same allegations about events alleged years ago over and over. The so-called events, which caused Ele Bucks to send Charity for an anal/vaginal examination and to pull me into a CPS case were to have occurred 5-7 years ago, between 1999-2001. They have been investigated several times. Charity admitted in 2006 that ointment was only put on her once.
New CII was unnecessary in light of the fact that investigation into the allegations had already been done. Mona discusses allegations with Charity so that the child parrots what her mother says. There were no allegations until I filed for custody on March 12, 2004 and CPS provided CII reports to Mona Lott. After that there were several. These have all been investigated and found to be unfounded.
Sexual Assault Report to Harry Mayo Hospital, January 8 2004, 12:53 p.m.
Mona called to tell me that she was taking Charity to Harry Mayo’s Emergency Room because of asthma. At approximately 5:20 pm I spoke with ER Technician, Russell McMoney at Harry Mayo ER. He checked on Charity’s visit and told me that she was never seen by the physician after an intake was done by the triage nurse. The mother Mona Lott, alleged sexual assault by the father two weeks ago and said that the child needed a breathing treatment. As time passed, the hospital staff found discrepancies in the mother’s stories ranging from asthma to sexual assault. Staff became suspicious and are willing to testify to the January 8, 2004 events. Staff include Russell McMoney, ER Technician, David Hurts, Trauma Nurse, Anne Guns, and the triage nurse whose name is illegible on the medical record.
Sexual Assault Report to Northridge Hospital-Roscoe Campus, January 7, 2004 10:30 p.m.
Mona called to tell me that she was taking Charity to Northglenn Hospital because of her asthma. She didn’t elaborate. The medical record indicates that Mona alleged that Charity was a victim of assault. She told the hospital that the sexual assault occurred two days ago when the father put medicine in the child’s vaginal area. The medical exam was within normal limits. There was no vaginal bleeding and no genito/rectal exam was done. The Corrupt County Sheriff was present. Charity was referred to CATS for assault testing, but CATS decided against doing testing based on information provided. 5 1/2 hours later, Charity was given a Proventil Respiratory treatment and discharged. Assault was not confirmed.
Sexual Assault Report Investigation, Corrupt County Sheriff, January 7, 2004 on-site Northglenn
An investigation was done on-site at the Northglenn Hospital. Charity told law enforcement that she was repeatedly scratching her perineal area because of the itching, and that her father rubbed on a white cream on the area. A forensic evaluation was not conducted because there was no penetration.
Sexual Assault Investigation by Detective Azzy Osborn, January 16, 2004
An investigation was done in Fat City at the Corrupt County Sheriff Station. Azzy Osborn sang with all parties and determined that the case was inactive/no crime. The case was cleared. He concluded that the actions of Party 2 were entirely consistent with a caring and concerned parent tending to the medical needs of his child.
Sexual Assault Incident Report filed with Sheriff by CSW Amy Hooligan, June 11, 2004 18:16 p.m.
Despite the conclusions of prior investigations of sexual assault, an attempt to file sexual assault charges against Al Beback for the same allegations that were previously addressed was made by CSW Amy Hooligan. Though she was told by the child that the alleged events occurred when the child was five… (three years earlier) and the child admitted to Ms. Hooligan that her father put on the medication to help her “rash†and that he only put on the medication on that one occasion and that he never touched her like that again. In the Incident Report narrative, Ms. Hooligan refers to showering. She reports her age and birth date, and the report was distributed to Training and wasn’t kept confidential as required.
Sexual Assault Incident Report investigated by CSW Ele Bucks, May 24, 2007
On or about May 22, 2006, an assault investigation was initiated by CSW Ele Bucks after Mona Lotts and her sister Dreama Lotts found a Kaiser Nurse Practitioner friend who agreed to place a fraudulent call to the “hot line†in order to report 5-7 year old allegations that were investigated previously. Once more it was alleged that I showered with Charity and digitally penetrated her. This time the complaint was so persuasive that Charity was subjected to an unwarranted anal/vaginal exam by NBC Nurse Practitioner, Julie Blister, who failed to take an adequate history before doing the exam. She relied on an inadequate report provided by Ele Bucks. The results were inconclusive. Information on this investigation exists in the 9/13/06 Jurisdiction/Disposition Report and should be corrected.
Failure to Inform
Regardless of entry of this order and IDK and CPS, failing to inform me of allegations against me, and not providing me with a copy of the Petition in a timely manner, you took the liberty of withholding visitation under the pretext that my monitors were not professional. Though CPS’ assessment of the monitors was to be completed by September 18, 2006, assessment hasn’t been completed as of this date. Now you indicate that we will know about visitation on October 10, 2006.
Professional Monitor and Supervised Visitation
According to the Reporter’s Hearing Transcript and Referee Robin Blesler’s Minute Order of June 20, 2006, approved monitors were to be Katy Jones, Morna Jasper, Laura Moneywicz, and Dana Ratland. All are qualified professional paid monitors. Corruption PC, Sect. 11165.7(30) states the following re mandated reporters/visitation monitors:
A child visitation monitor. As used in this article, “child visitation monitor†means any person who, for financial compensation, acts as monitor of a visit between a child and any other person when the monitoring of that visit has been ordered by a court of law.
Time Line of Major Events since Charity’s Detention:
July 21, 2006 Received call from Ele Bucks telling me about Mona’s drug and alcohol abuse and that Charity was removed from her mother’s care and placed with the maternal grandmother…told I would be contacted by IDK to let me know when the Detention Hearing would be;
July 25, 2006 Received a call from IDK re the time of hearing…..wasn’t provided with allegations against me or a copy of the Petition;
July 26, 2006 Detention Hearing was held at the Lunchcaster Juvenile CPS Court. Details of allegations were not discussed in the courtroom since Charity was present. CPS was ordered to assess the names of father’s monitors as given to the court by Debra Hardnard. This assessment was to be completed by September 12, 2006;
August 15, 2006 Gave Ele Bucks a list of the monitors and their phone numbers;
August 16, 2006 Received a voice message from Rod Ardon in which he reports that “we (CPS) don’t really agree with as being accurate regarding you and…..past allegations of sexual abuse….â€;
August 18, 2006 Rod Ardon left another voice message telling me that “we (CPS) are switching workers and this new worker has a different supervisor. Her name is Ann T. social and her supervisor is Joe Lotta Love.†Rod Ardon gave me Mr. Lotta’s and your phone numbers;
August 25, 2006 Ann T. Social given the same list as that provided to Ele Bucks;
August 26, 2006 You provided me with a letter backdated to August 15, 2006, stating that
Saturday visits were fine as long as there was a paid monitor., yet you failed to assess the monitors;
August 29, 2006 You sent a letter acknowledging receiving my telephone message regarding setting up an appointment with you and Bob Love Nest to discuss Charity’s case.
September 13, 2006
Jurisdiction/Disposition Hearing was scheduled but did not take place until 4:20 p.m., allowing only ten minutes to talk with Mr. Love. Mona Lotts and I did not meet with any third party to discuss mediation.
Please advise me as to when you will complete your monitor assessment, let me know what will be done about the numerous omissions in this case, and please remove the inaccurate negative narratives that pulled me into this case. Charity misses me and is anxious to see me again. We have a great relationship. I look forward to your cooperation.
Sincerely,
AL BeBack

I am so tired, frustrated deeply depressed. I have lost my battle with cps who prefers to have my grandchildren to be adopted by their foster mom. What do I do now?
Comment by jean — August 13, 2008 @ 11:02 am
Jean-
I’m sure the reason they refused you is because the foster care people had the kids over 9 months? They seem to feel we will hand the kids back over to their parents simply because we are mom or dad.
I know we were yelled at by the judge when he agreed to give us the kids anyhow. He pointed his finger and said he’d throw us in jail if we handed those kids back over to them.
He did have to “waive the 9 month living requirement” for us to get them, too.
You need a good atty, and an appealate court to go on.

where do i begin? well back in march of 2008 i gave birth to twin baby girls.It was no doubt very stressfull for me and my fiance but we were able to manage. not 6 days out of the hospital i get a social worker at my door.Evidently there was reports of me not feeding my children and not changing them and hitting them for crying. Well the social worker looked at my children who were clearly healthy fed and clean. with no marks on them. and she left and that was it,or so i thought. well me and my fiance get into a verbal arguement in the front yard the police got called and next thing i know a social worker is in my mother in laws house telling me the children are staying there untill a mediation hearing is done. i go to the DCFS office and long story short was punished for domestic violence and me and my fiance had to jump through the hoops to get our children back.oh by the way we were made homeless when the children were taken because we were a danger to our children for a verbal arguement.and because we lived with my mother in law and she was the one to get temp custody we had to move out. but we moved into a house and we enrolled in our programs and got our kids back.Now i know some of you reading may think “well why are you writing if your life is all perfect” right? well because what im about to tell you will make you sick. I get my children back on july 11th 2008. my landlord that me and my fiance were renting the room from made sexual advances towards me in order to lower rent because he felt we were struggling with the babies witch we werent but when i turned him down and my fiance confronted him all of a sudden he wanted us out by the end of the month.my fiance and i went to my mothers for a week when we came back had plans to move. remember were still in our programs so we go to court on the 28th to transfer our classes.well on the 29th my fiance and i decide to let the babies go to his moms while we pack. late that afternoon i tripped over my double stroller and got a scratch on my face. thought nothin of it continued packing. well on the 31st im told by DCFS that my fince and i need to come in and do a follow up and give the new address where were moving to. so we pick up the babies from his moms and dress them all cute and go by bus and train to the DCFS office. (we had no car) so we get there and two women come and take my daughters from us and say they need to speak with us seperately. she asked me why did i have a black eye? now mind you i where very heavy eyeliner or did not anymore. well anyway i tell her i dont have a black eye and she tells me if im going to lie to her that we can cut this conversation right now. i thought she must be talking about the scratch on my face but i didnt have a black eye. well she informed me we couldntr move because my children were being detained.i could not believe this was happening again only this time we did nothing wrong the worker said numerouse calls came in on the hotline about supposeable domestic violence infront of the children. we left the office without our children and went home only to find all our properety in the front yard and find out the landlord and his daughter went in our room and took all our stuff and put it out on the street. ILLEAGALLY EVICTED so now we cant move and have nowhere to live again.on the 5th of august we had court my children were to be placed with paternal grandmother . but were not placed untill the 11th in the meantime they werew in fostercare. with there names wrong.5 month old babies and their father and i have not had them longer than 1 month. now DCFS is stressing becase their finding they dont have a case all they have is accusations from a vendictive landlord but i still have to wait untill the 26th to find out whats going to happen because i dont have money for an attorney but my family is pulling together to hire one because the worker did not have a court order or a warrant or propable cause to detain my children on the 31st. i also found out that annonymous hotline calls are not propable cause. please tell me what you all think because i need to feel im not alone in thinking DCFS is abusing their power. they claim to protect children but all they do is destroy families.

CPS has been pulling this crap for over 30 years. No, you are not alone! This happens to hundreds of families every day. Unfortunately, they prey on the poor, the naive and the uneducated. They do this because there is a baby shortage. The baby shortage becan when abortion was legalized in 1973.
With a baby shortage and tons of childless couples, Millions of children over the last 3 1/2 decades have became the victims of corporate kidnapping. The US is owned by corporations. We are NOT free people in a free society/free country. We are enslaved. We only discover this when we become victims.
There is a woman I met on here by the name of Christy. I have learned a lot from her. One of these things is that the reason Social Security is dwindling is because they are federal funds and these funds are used to pay for children to live in fosterhomes. The social workers are paid big fat bonus checks for meeting the
Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — August 13, 2008 @ 11:05 pm
“quota,” as well as the judges, attorneys, ect…
The adoption agencies pay top dollar to fund this corrupt system making it easy to get a healthy baby. There are people who become foster parents just so that they have the option to adopt and they are in fact paid to do this. Part of the funds actually pay these people to adopt the kids after the parental rights are terminated.
I also learned that there are websites that you can visit that will not only tell you what your rights are, but how to protect them and what to say, do write and so on.
We have to know what our constitutional rights are in order to keep and use these rights.
It so happens that if you go to court for any kind of hearing or trial, no matter what the charges are, weather it has to do with family court or not, that we DON’T have to have a lawyer who has been to school and passed the BARR Association. Those attorneys are required to do what they are told to keep their licenses and are restricted in their job to represent you and do what is in your best interest. They can be bought at a price just like the judge. All of the above titles are owned by corporate.
You can represent yourself and you are not restricted in your own council. We have constitutional rights and we have sovereign rights. Sovereign rights are GOD GIVEN RIGHTS. Once you claim your sovereignity, you are no longer under the law. This means that you are inder a different set of rules that gives you the freedom to give yourself adequate legal representation.
Learn everything you can about family law and about the various charges that you can file against anyone who breaks those laws that interferes with your rights. Learn the RCW codes and use them in your defense. Make sure that the law attached to that RCW is mentioned and what the legal actions that can be taken for justice, like fines and terms of sentencing from shortest to longest for each violation. Be sure that you also address who has commited the crime including dates, times and specific crimes per individual per incident with RCW and sentencing.
A website I highly suggest has detailed information on this as well as what to do and not to do, your rights and the laws, sentencing and how to fight for and protect your rights. Most importantly, how to use this information to restore your family.
Unfortunately, every time I post a helpful website on here, my comments disappear. So I am posting for EVERYBODY’S BENEFIT my email address so that what I couldn’t do for my own children, I hope I am not to late to help you.
Please contact me via email and I will do everything I can to help you. CPS MAKES ME SICK!

A word or to of caution for you to considder.
Never display ANY EMOTION toward a social worker! They will use it against you in court, twisting everything to make you look bad.
Get a SECOND OPINION from another doctor, but DON’T TELL ANYONE YOU ARE DOING IT AND BE SURE TO KEEP ALL EVIDENCE for your own benefit.
1) Dates and times of doctor visits.
2) Name of and type of doctor.
3) All medical diagnosis and notes.
4) Written statements of and names of all medical personel. (This includes any observations of your charactor, parenting skills and parent/child bond.
5) Addresses and phone numbers of all institutions where your child was treated.
6) Written declarations from any friend or family member about you, letters and cards that say anything positive about you as a parent and or about your child.
Also learn the legal language. There are words that the social workers and their legal representatives use to make you look bad and if you don’t know what they mean they can use it to their advantage. They also tend to use these words out of context and they themselves don’t always know what the definitions are.
Terms like, “the best interest of the children,” for example means to terminate parental rights, “malingering,” means things like faking it, lying, unwilling to cooperate, or refusing to get help, “parimar,” means male prostitute and if you are not married to your childs mother or you are not the biological parent of a child who’s mother you live with, because you live under the same roof, CPS may use that term to describe you.
As I have addressed everyone here, I offer you the same help if I can if you so request. GOOD LUCK!

Please help stop these types of horror stories. Fight with all you have,seek reform from your leaders. My husband was falsely accused of sexual child abuse by his estranged wife, solely to gain permanent custody of their only child.Today he is legally blind, we can only pray that he can somehow contact and see his son before he loses his remaining vision. The state clearly concealed evidence that would have cleared him of this, but the state had to protect themselves, since they had already made their allegation. This website clearly displays a conspiracy orchestrated by his ex-wife and her paramour. South Carolina has refused to seek prosecution against these culprits, even after willfully infecting the child with gonorrehea. Such criminal charges would open the CPS’s original investigation , which would probably led to futher arrest warrants being issued for state officials. How a child suffers, so the state can admitt no wrong.

i was force by child protective sevices to get an second opinion from another doctor which i did.The end results came out that the doctor made an error on her part when weighing my daughter on the scale that she use.As far as in getting an verbal altercation with cps i did and i would do again.i am not afraid to take a stand against cps to protect my kids.i would do it again without thinking twice.

My daughter has been falsely accused of abusing her 14 month old son. I am her mother and we have not seen the baby since april 25,08.Is there no justice to be had? She has a job but we have no money for attorney. Her husband got his sister to pick up baby to spend time with her.Husband came home and told her CPS had called him as someone had made a report. This was all a lie as the CPS did not get report until April 28.,08. my daughter has called CPS and tried to make an appointment but to no avail. They do not return her calls. We realize attorneys expect to get paid and she has tried to find one that would take payments ,again to no avail.

No one can walk away with your child(ren)/ grandchild(ren) and call this the law. I can not agree and will not agree. So i say to CPS, I will fight back and it maybe a very slow process for me but i will not go into the night quitely, they will hear my presense . I say to this monster the people call law . Fight law with laws. I always want to fight fair and as i’m sure so many of you know the law speaks from both sides of their mouths. God bless, every take care it’s hard but you can prevail.

Wow, I had no idea how bad it really is. My daughter just had my two grandchildren snatched at the Midland Airport by their estranged father with the help of his high-powered attorney and the local authorities. They’ve been living near me in FL for 10 months and they are doing so much better than they were when they came her from the safe-house there. She took them back to visit after several talks with their father, and he lied about her, and to her, and me about how he had changed and how he was going to move out here and help her, then he got a court order and took the babies. They’re two and five, and love their nanna like crazy! I babysat 5-nights a week so my daughter could work and they were like my children and my grandchildren. I am devastated, not to mention that, with all of his promises of help, and 3-round trip plane tickets from FL to TX and back, he left her stranded at the Midland airport with no money, no children and 3-round trip tickets to come back to FL tomorrow! She hasn’t seen them since Tuesday, the 12th, and I haven’t talked to them once and the 5-year old told me “Nanna, I’m going to call you every day!” They’ve had many problems, but I never thought he could, or would, do this. those boys have been without their mommy for 4 days now, and it’ll be 5 more before she goes to court, how can someone take children away from their mother - especially when they’re a good and loving mother. She was the sole caregiver to those boys their entire lives, now they’re with their biological father, a total stranger to them, and the county authorities let them do this, even though she had to run away, through the police station, and to a safe house - 10 months ago…
Sorry to be so wordy, but, that’s how I got here, I had no idea the authorities had so much power, and so little good judgement. I am so sad now… I don’t know what to do… I’m nanna, and I miss my babies… and I know they miss me… can’t anyone help us? we’re no one, and yet, we’re the heart of the living, we’re the conscious of humanity - grandmothers - there is no more loving creature alive, there’s not. thank you all, God Bless each and every one of us…

I feel for everyone here and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. I feel kind of stupid because everyone seems to have far worse problems than me, but I’m trying to stop all this before they take my children. I have 3 children 4,3, and 1 and a half. My husbands mother constantly calls children services because she is a drunk and I won’t let her have my children alone. They come out all the time and it’s getting very annoying, I recently moved to a different county and the new county I’m in seems h*** bent on taking my kids. They came out because of a call of home conditions. The one guy who came out told us we have an open case, the second lady who came out while that guy was on vacation, said that I didn’t have an open case I have an open intake. That’s when I started getting worried because he lied about our case. They come out every week to inspect my home for 60 days. The last time they were out they didn’t have us sign a safety plan so my question is do I need to let them in this time when they come back and what is an open intake? I have been reading up on my constitutional rights and they have broken several! If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I think they are just out to take my children because everytime they come out, they say it at least 50 times…………….April G

I am new to this site and so thankful I found all of this information. I have two wonderful children ages 21 and 15, along with a beautiful 1 year old grandaughter. My next grandaughter will be arriving just in time for Christmas. I have always struggled to be both mother and father to my kids, making sure they were well cared for, had a stable home, and most importantly, to know they were wanted and loved. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would have to deal with CPS. A few months back, my 15 yr old daughter told me she was pregnant. Of course I was upset but what’s done is done. Her school became involved and notified the police. After all three of us cooperated (myself, daughter, her boyfriend) with the investigation, the Prosecuting Attorney decided against prosecution. I refused to press charges against this young man because, low and behold, my child and her friends lied about her age. Her boyfriend was made aware of her age when he found out she was pregnant. I had never met the boy until after she became pregnant. To make a long story short… I met the boyfriend, we had the family talk about responsibility, owning up to our mistakes, etc. He obviously cares very much for my daughter because even when things were up in the air with the charges, he was right there for her. After, he lost his job in the city he had no place to call home. So out of the goodness of my heart, I allowed this young man to come stay in my home. There were stipulations and rules layed out. He had to find a job, help around the house, and he had to sleep in the spare bedroom. No sex period!! Well, it wasn’t long before CPS came knocking on my door. I was informed, via phone, by the CPS worker that allowing this young man to stay in my home constitutes child neglect! He has no criminal record, actually graduated from high school, and is looking for work so he can support this child when it’s born. CPS is telling me that he cannot be around my daughter without me being present. I have had to put this boy out of the most stable environment he has probably ever known. A family friend is allowing him to stay at their place for the time being, but how can CPS do this? The CPS worker threatened my daughter that she would be coming back with the police next time. Now CPS is calling me to find out when it’s convienent for her to come out and meet with me. She is due here in the morning, and after everything I have read here, she will be meeting me at the end of my driveway.

If you are forced to take the classes. You can still take them for free through the state and them not be funded by CPS. Therefore, CPS doesn’t get the monies and you don’t get a bias person… Actually, they usually hate CPS just can’t tell you that..
You just need to call around.

Nancy-
Teenage girls unfortunatley get pregnant all the time now days. You daughter is no different thatn and other teenager that made a mistake.
It is none of CPS’ business how you accomadate the teens since both will soon be sharing the responsibilties of raising a child as mom and dad.
You are correct; the lawfully cannot trample on your 4th and 14th amendment rights! That meeting should indeed take place either at the end of your drive or in your attys’ office, no other location. If you can’t get an attorney, have a third party present, such as a minister, close friend that doesn’t live too nearby or another family member (who also doesn’t live there).
They have no lawful right to take your child or interview her and BF without parental consent. There is only 1 way they can take a child legally. They must proove beyond doubt to a judge that your child “is in imenent danger of serious injury or death if left in the home with you more than the 2 hours it takes to get a warrant”. Thats it!!! And it is the same from state to state.
See why CPS perople lie right from the beginning? If they didn’t, would the talk a judge into signing a warrant? Nope!

Here is my story, Here is what I want to do. Lets join together Dear Editor,
I am in need of some information, that I am sure you can help me out with. Its about the Witch Hunt that we had here in Wenatchee in 1994-1995. What I need is a closing story on this case. I need to know after all the damage that was done to so many innocent people and their families, how was Mr.Perez and the CPS workers disciplined? Or were they? I don’t recall ever reading that any of those that created this so called Witch Hunt had any repercussions whatsoever. If that be the case, then why didn’t they? The leaders in this hunt,falsely accused innocent people, destroyed their lives, and their families, and then unjustly arrested them. Is that not enough destruction to warrant some kind of discipline? If you were to let a child lie and steal, watch them do this and do nothing about it, don’t you think that even though they know its wrong and you disapprove, that because you didn’t stop them they will continue? That’s what is going on here.
Correct me if I am wrong but I was told that CPS needed 30 or so children or they would lose some type of funding, and so began the Witch Hunt. If this IS true it makes me wonder if they indeed got their funding, probably a bonus too.
Yes, I know that some of the innocent sued the State. I don’t think that the money they got from it was anywhere near the pain and suffering that was caused on them by those so called professionals that we are forced to entrust our abused and neglected children with. Those professionals have not stopped.
What they do now is take 2 children here, one there, 1 infant here,2 there. This way, at the end of the year, they will have their quota and all that money is theirs. They can even make it look legitimate, look is the key word here. They have made Neglect look pretty bad. Bad enough for the Judges to let CPS remove our children from our loving homes, And they do it in a way not to bring attention to them this time.
The Judges have to see it, or is that why Ms. Justice wears the blinds over her eyes? They know whats going on,they can see, Yet the Judges continue to grant those people guardianship over our children, the Judges continue to terminate our parents rights and allow them to steal our loving children from our families, bad enough that the Judges lets the foster parents adopt our very much loved and wanted children. Most of these foster parents don’t want to be foster parents they want to adopt our children, CPS tells them that by being a foster parent you can have your pick, and by the end of the year that child will be available to adopt. That child will be theirs, not ours, never to be seen or heard of again. Erased from our family tree forever. How wrong is that. And for what reason? Oh yea, Neglect. What is neglect? Leaving your 9 or 10 year old for 20 minutes until you get home from work, that’s neglect in CPS books, missing an appointment, even if you reschedule, neglect to CPS, and only if something is life threatening can that child be removed, NOT! Is bottle rot in a two year old life threatening? Is a missed appointment life threatening? Not! but CPS will take your children for that reason, they took my granddaughter.
CPS doesn’t want to get the families back together, theres no bonuses in it for them, they want us to fail, to slip up so they can not only get our children, but to get that bonus too.
I am crying out to every person that has been hurt by CPS, to every parent that has lost a child or children to,To every parent that has fought and won, or fought and loss, I am crying out to every child that is now an adult,who was raised by foster or adopted parents instead of their birth families because of CPS, to every child now an adult, that was taken from their families, or split up from their families due to CPS injustice, I am crying out to the falsely accused by CPS, to come out, come out and let your pain be known, let this injustice be known, lets make CPS do what they are here to do, Protect our Children! Not steal them. CPS is here for our children that need them, for the Abused and Neglected, they are to remove the child if there is a life threat to that child, A LIFE THREATENING situation, bottle rot, missed appointments, ect, is not LIFE THREATENING. Our Judges are just as guilty, by going alone with these so called guidelines. They know what is life threatening and what isn’t.
For over 30 years these people have been getting away with stealing our children and destroying our lives, it is time now to stop them once and for all. Its time WE the people put a stop to it now, the Judges wont the Attorneys cant, but together We the People can, If We all stand together we can do it, they will have no other choice but to see us, hear us, count us and address us.
We will pick a day not to work, not to buy anything anywhere, we will march before the CPS offices and the Court Houses, in every town, every City, and in every State. And they will see us, they will hear us, they will address us and they will feel us. There will be change, God be with us. God is the only one that can take our parental rights away, he and only he.and this,
I am not sure as to who I write this to, but I can only hope that you will or could get it to the right people or spot.
Family Notebook, that title hit me hard in the heart. I couldn’t sleep and thought if I checked out the newspaper, maybe I would get sleepy, I then found out, one could comment on some of the articles, so I signed up. Then right in front of me was the words Family Notebook. It made me cry. You see, my family has become involved with CPS, Child Protective Services. The mother to my Granddaughter brought over some papers to have me help her fill out about my Granddaughters health, just family history stuff but at the bottom of the last page it stated, that I or We the adoptive parents of this child. It went on but those words stuck with me, Wait a minute, these papers, it stated,was for the people wanting to adopt my Granddaughter? CPS has only had her since July 3rd 2008. That’s less than 2 months. Why are they having us fill out this type of paper work? I had been looking on the Internet for information as to how we were going to get my Granddaughter back with her Family, and the information I have found is not good. Did you know that there is thousands and thousands,and thousand, of Parents, Grandparents, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles,and cousins, that have been torn apart from each other, because of CPS? Innocent families destroyed by CPS? Why? you may ask, because their rules have changed, There is no money bonuses in keeping the families together, oh no, only bonuses if they can get children adopted out. Only if they can get the parents to mess up, any way, missed appointment, even rescheduled, is grounds to remove your child. Neglect. That’s the word they use. In 6 months they will tell you the child/mother, father bonds have been severed. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump and the parents lose their “Parental Rights”. They have said, ” It would now harm the child to be removed from the Foster Parents;home, the bond’s between Child and Mother and or Father have been broken, severed. Not being with the said parents, it is now in the child’s best interest that the foster parents adopt the child, and the blood parents lose all parental rights and must now forget they ever had this child. Family Notebook? Family Notebook? What does a Family do when they lose a child in such a manner? What about our Family Notebook? How can we allow these strangers to take our very much, loved, children from us? Children who have NEVER been beaten, NEVER been abused, or NEVER been neglected? You ask then how did CPS become involved? Parents make mistakes, we all have made mistakes, The parents of my Granddaughter, My Son’s ex-girlfriend and her fiancee, have made mistakes, With everyone playing outside the mom; thought she could just run down and toss the clothes out of the washer into the dryer, then right back out, only to find no one was watching her daughter, sure they were outside but working on the car, less than 5 minutes, my granddaughter headed down towards Nana’s house, a man lures her over to him with a ice cream bar. Calls the police, and along with them, CPS.
In less than 10 minutes with the mom running frantically screaming her daughters name, down the street, 2 houses down, sits her daughter with the man, the police and CPS,
They give my Granddaughter back and wanted to see the insides of their home. Which was the fiancee, dad’s place, they had just moved downstairs and were making it into a studio place for them. The mistake was the mom not telling anyone she was going in, but have you ever had something like that happen to you? I have. Yes, that was wrong and something could have happened. We learn, the mom learned. That’s not grounds to lose you child for. Parenting Classes, Counseling maybe, but not to have your child taken. And they don’t. Not yet, that is About a week later their Baby, not my Granddaughter but her 1/2 sister, has a seizer, caused by a temp caused by a cold, the mom had been giving Tylenol but everyone was asleep when the mom calls out to me, something is wrong with her baby, we called 911 .
the baby was taken to the hospital, and stayed the night to see if any more would happen. She was fine, released but the doctor wanted some test done to find out what could be wrong with their daughter. She may be slow or mildly retarded. Not caused by anything that any one did, Mom is or has the RH factor,and it may have something to possibly do with her problem. Because my car was overheating I couldn’t give them the ride over to Seattle, the mom calls and rescheduled the appointment, a few day’s later, mom was going to walk my granddaughter to my house, with it being so hot outside the baby was asleep, taking her nap in her parents bed, a can of paint was all the way over to the other side of the room with the lip on the top of the can , not correctly on. The baby does not crawl but can roll around. But no way could it get to the can of dried up paint. No Way. Mom tells dad their leaving, and she would be right back to watch the baby while she’s gone. They walk about 8 blocks to my house, and she gets a phone call from the baby ’s dad, Police are there and maybe for him, he had been arrested several times for driving with out a license. He tell her he’s climbing out the window his dad was upstairs, she begged him not to do it, not to leave that baby, she was on her way back up, but too late , CPS was there to do a welfare check and found the baby alone, they didn’t know the dad was just outside the window. CPS takes the baby, before we could reach the house. They immediately call CPS and when they went down to talk to a CPS worker they are greeted with 5 police officers and arrested, the both of them for Child abandonment. Neglect. CPS wanted the other child, which I had ,They came and got her July 3rd 2008. I was allowed to visit her with her mom until I testified and proved CPS and the police some how got con fussed in their stories.l A nice way of saying, they LIED. Since then I have not been allowed to see my granddaughter at all. How wrong is this? what would you do if something like this happened to you? Remember the Wenatchee witch hunt? The Sex Scandal? Caused by CPS. Help me. help thousands and thousands of families, innocent families, make them stop destroying our families,our lives, for money. I beg of you, any of you,,. all of you. Please dont let them take our children, . . Please Help.

Comment by MICHELLE — August 20, 2008 @ 8:49 am
This is a sick website. The fact that you people actually believe that CPS gets money and social workers get bonuses when children are removed is sad. The governmet barely has the money to care for the children already in state care. Social workers barely make enough money to pay student loans however they still do the job because they love children and care about their safety. I find it disheartening that anyone would start a group like this.
Comment by K.P. — August 20, 2008 @ 10:01 am
Oh, and just to clarify a few “things” that have been mentioned on the website…first of all CPS has every right to interview a child without a parent’s permission. It is actually standard procedure to go to the child’s school or daycare to interview the child if possible before informing the parent of the report. Otherwise it is possible that the parent would try to sway the child’s testimony. 9 times out of 10 the CPS worker will interview the child before the parent even knows that they are being investigated. Secondly I really would not believe most of the advice that is given on this website as it is incorrect. As to Jolisa Linsbloom’s advice on terminology above, “child’s best interest” does not in any way mean termination of parental rights unless that is the child’s best interest. That term is also used to return a child to a parent if it is in the child’s best interest. As for her term “parimar” I believe she is actually refering to a “paramour”, which is used to described a parent’s partner who they live with but are not married to. Be carful whatyou believe on websites like this.

A multitude of major federal crimes are currently being committed by way of;’’scandal”/”conspiracy”/”controversy”/”plot”/’’schemes”/”fraud” and ”forgery” through government employees who are paid accomplice for their involvement in these illegal/criminal activities.all of the activities are under the influence,orchestration,coercion of mastermind”felon”, criminal/ notorious gang member/ drug dealer/murderer one individual with various identities and many aliases to conceal his identity, assetts,and of course misdeeds.some of these employee’s are willing participants, others are being blackmailed by him to participate.my reasoning for writing you is my need to publically expose this crime ring with the proof I have, my children and I have been victims to these crimes that impacted our lives. they include but are not limited to’urban housing development/section 8,l.a. county department public socail services, also department children and family services, los angeles police department,health care services and socail securiy administration.my rental residence at 854 w. 81 st street l.a.,ca was previously illegally being used as a ‘’stash pad” for narcotics and weapons placed into my attic before I ever even began to reside there by the property owner/felon/gang member/drug dealer with many aliases;”l.g.”lavelle garrison aka;warren paul aka bobby gory aka robert king/jones/smith/johnson/biddle/miles/flick to name a few. 3 days after my family started residing in this house under my section 8/ housing program this suppose to be owner the man I signed the rental agreement with shows up at my door admitting to me quote ;that he is the dope man ”the king” and that he runs the neighborhood,the streets in the community are his and everyone does what he says or they die,he calls all of the shots, all the police work for him, they are all on his payroll etc.etc.unquote; upon acquiring this information I immediately went into section 8 and requested they allow me to move by informing them of what this so called owner confided in me.

All I am going to say is…read the “Adoption Incentive Program” signed into law by Pres. Bill Clinton in 2001 (or 2003).
It shows you HOW our Federal branch pays states for kids in foster care. If you also look at the States Adoption Incentive Bonus Program, you will see how it really works.
Maybe you ARE a CPS CW and just haven’t figured out HOW to get your cut of the $$$ yet.
These people here have been rooked out of their children for profit.
It’s a legal money laundering scheme that comtinues to go around and around insuring jobs all along its’ path.
I wouldn’t have any problem with CPS IF they would not target low income people sooooooooo much; and call it “neglect”.
God created the “haves” and the “have nots”. So what if some kids have more mentionables than others.
A family is complete, with Love and discipline among other things. And a roof, A/C, Heat and hot water are essential of course. It shouldn’t matter if that roof looks old or if the paint is dull.
But somehow, it does matter to CPS.

Just a few questions…though I really don’t expect you to answer.
WHY would you even be surfing the web looking for a website about CPS is you were not affected by them?
Are you really a case worker (or were) and have unpaid student loans perhaps?
I can’t imagine anyone deliberatley looking the web over for a CPS site unless they were either affected directly by the trama OR working for CPS trying to gather info on exsistting cases.
So which are you?
Comment by Cheryl — August 20, 2008 @ 1:20 pm
JoLisa and K.P. I agree with JoLisa when they say best interest they do mean termination, as for paramour its equal to calling a man a whore, I know this first hand looked it up, told the asisant attorney general what it meant on the court record, after court she loked it up and said she was sorry (not a heart felt apology) but she now knows what the word means. K.P. when they do not terminate they say its not in the childs best interest to terminate but, I have not ever heard them say its in the childs best interst, not to terminate as for paramour it doses basically mean male whore the way they use it. K.P. look it up for yourself also look up the legal lingo the deparment uses you will also come to the same conculsion JoLisa did. K.P. you must work for social services I hear them justify what they say just as you justified it. They say paramour means live-in boyfriend, but when I said what it meant on the court record the socail workers gigled like school girls, she said whore, but I guess that’s just their mentality.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think all of the people that have laid out their stories on this website are just full of it, or maybe have nothing better to do with their time. And how do you know that its all lies? I agree, why are you here? If you don’t like what you read on this website…leave it. Those of us who are here for a little support because the system that is CPS has screwed us over ( and yes though you may not believe it, that happens more than people like you want to admit) don’t need someone that has no understanding of what we are going through coming in here and interjecting your uneducated and uninvited comments. I’m sure there are plenty of website praising CPS. Go log on there. Because here on this site you won’t hear anything positive about an agency ,that we all know for a fact because we are dealing with it, seems to take pleasure in tearing apart families. It may be fpr profit or just the pure pleasure of it. Regardless, CPS should be stopped. If you can’t hear the pain in the stories you’ve read here, then keep reading. Or better yet, just go away. The last thing people like me and others here need is someone criticizing us further. I hope you are a perfect parent and never have to deal with CPS. They are an evil organization hell-bent on taking away kids and yes profiting from it. People like you just piss me off. Go find somewhere else to run your mouth.

KP,
You are wrong in this way. CPS can not come into a home and interview a child without showing and/or proving iniment danger to the child. In other words people, if cps comes to your door I highly suggest standing on your 4th ammendment right and do not let them in! Show them your children are not in immenent danger by letting them see them inside the doorway. Then call a lawyer ASAP! Do not answer an questions, call your Lawyer before you say ANYTHING as ANYTHING you say can and will be used against you no matter how innocently you state it. They can not interview your child without your permission in your home so I guess if your child goes to public school or daycare then they are fair game as CPS will take anything your child says and twist it to what they want to hear. Once again…social workers and poiice officers have been sued and lost because they entered homes without search warrents-they can not enter your home without an warrent so make sure they have one. If they insist on coming in, do not fight them-be polite but tell them they are entering without your permission and you will get a lawyer to sue for illegal search and seizure.

Greetings; I was under the impression that this web site was created for the victims of C.P.S. If an individual enters thier comments I believe that this Inividual should refrain from proselytization. In other words-this is not a site for the rebuttles of social workers. Human trafficking is a reality in this world, and I believe that websites like this one, can and will, make a positive difference. You won’t hear much from me because I am not a victim of C.P.S. Reckless ignorance with your words have more effect than you realize. People who have been stolen deserve respect. People who have had family members stolen deserve justice. The truth is more powerful than money. “The pen is mightier than the sword”. I believe that when words of truth are spoken they usually are not met with derision. Words that are without substance are usually disgarded. I hope that all of the children who’ve been discarded, are never neglected or forgotten. And the best we can all hope is that we all find a happy home. People that work for the government, should realize that the government is by the people and for the people. For someone to write on this website who is working for the government shows me that there is a flaw. This website is not intended for those of you who are not victims of C.P.S. Go to a website for dis-gruntled social workers because your responce is an insult and dis- respectful.

The problem is ignorance; from their perspective they may not be able to see their wrong because they can’t!!!It does take someone who is old enough to comprehend both sides of what is going on. You know your parents; I do not. Only you know the truth. Believe me when I say that as a minor I could tell who was committing the crime; the crime of kidnapping!!! There is nothing sick about this. What is sickening is to then tell the world that somebody who never laid a finger to hurt, or harm anyone in any way shape or form; and then to use the words abuse. This is what is SICKENING!!!

K.P.,
Have you ever seen your children scared and frightened? I have I seen my daughter in my dreams everyday crying out for her mommy not to leave her with CPS. My oldest son saying ” mommy you promised that you wouldn’t let them take us”. My children were taken simply because I made a mistake and ended up with someone who abused me. No I don’t think it was good of my children to witness this, but at the time they took them I was leaving him, and heading to a safe place for good. I lost my rights because of this. Do they get money, hell yes they do. How do I know this? My caseworker sat in my living room and told me herself how much money she made in one month visiting my childre twice. $5000 just in gaas mileage. I have admitted my mistakes to the courts and did every single thing they asked even paying for therapy out of my own pocket. I never missed a visitation, in which I drove an hour away for. I never missed a birthday, or any other holiday. My children are wanted because they are “special needs”. The state gets more money because my daughter has mild cerbral palsy and my oldest son has ADHD. You say that the caseworkers do this out of love for the children? My caseworker called my son a liar and treats him like he is nothing more then a bother to her. She rarely sees my daughter, and calls the foster family once in a while to check in on her, well when it is time for court anyway. You sound like a caseworker to me and are only on here to justify what you and your co conspirators have done to families. If CPS is doing such a great job for our children then why all the deaths in the foster homes? Why are states investigating their CPS? That is the trouble with CPS and caseworkers today. We as parents must admit when we are wrong in order to MAYBE see our children, but when you people do something wrong it is either swept under the rug, or justified with some bullshit answer. Well, you can just keep justifying your reasons for kidnapping innocent children from loving families, and we will keep right on speaking out about the real truth. Why are you on here anyway? Is there a client on here you need to find before court, so you can use whatever they say on here against them? That is the only reason someone of your negativity would be on here. We are hear to stand together United as One, and obviously you are not one and again CPS has to stand alone. Be gone before some one drops a house on you too.

K.P., what does that stand for? Kidnapping Pedophile?
Comment by Susan — August 21, 2008 @ 6:03 am
I can’t believe that there is another idiot bitch on here! We seem to see one every month. I havent checked my email in several days or read the comments on here until today and just hearing another idiot telling bullshit lies defending CPS makes me sick! If every victim burnt up a CPS building or blew up a social worker’s car or home, then the idiots would see for themselves along with the unaware that this form of government control is not tolerable and deserves rebellion on all of our parts.
For those of us who don’t get to see our kids anymore, are helpless to protect them.
Those of you who do still get to see your kids, you fight with everything you’ve got.
I would suggest that when you go see your kids that you get a micro-recorder and a camara and record any evidence you can get against the agency responsible for victimizing your families.
Record every conversation with your kids, there is no law stating that you can’t and this method is effective when dealing with your lawyer and may be your only witness to what your kids are going through in the system.
Take pictures of the kids showing any bruises, cuts, or other injuries while you can. Pictures don’t lie.
Ask your kids how they are being treated and about thei r needs being met. Do not coach them on the answers they give or it will look bad.
You can also consider video-recording every visit and you should take notes including dates and times and anything that disturbs you.
MAKE SEVERAL COPIES OF EVERYTHING AND KEEP A JOURNAL! iF YOUR CHILDREN ARE OLD ENOUGH TO READ AND WRITE, HAVE THEM KEEP A JOURNAL OF THEIR OWN.
The reason I encourage you to have your kids keep journals is because if they can list dates and times as well, their feelings and anything that disturbs them, issues with the foster parents and the other foster kids, what the authorities/social workers, detectives, ect…tell them or ask them, and if they are coached on what to say. Use all of this in court. All your kids have is you. Don’t count on attorneys, friends and family. They will let you down more than you would like to think. If you do depend on anyone who you use as a charactor reference, have them fill out and sign a written declararion and have it notorized. Make several copies of those things too.
An attorney can sometimes be helpful, but you should only count on yourselves.
I’m praying for all of you.

WARNING!!!!
I forgot to mention my most recent news.
I finally received a letter from my daughter on Tuesday. The results were devistating and I am posting what she said word for word so you can see for yourself what happens when a family member screws you over.
I TOLD MY DAUGHTER THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. SHE HATES ME BECAUSE I DID AND SHE DOESN’T BELIEVE ME.
SHE EVEN RUBBED IT IN MY FACE THAT I HAVE NO MOTHER AND THAT MY MOTHER IS HER MOTHER.
I WAS REPLACED.
Jolisa, 8/7/08
Please stop trying to contact me. You told me you would leave it up to me and right now I would not like to persue a relationship with you. I am 17, not yet 18 and until then, want nothing to do with you. You might have given birth to me but you are not my mother. My mom is the one who puts a roof under my head, food on the table and the money into my private school. Your first mistake was trash talking my mom. I love her dearly, and I’m sorry for what you have been through but because of my mom I have a good head on my shoulders and I’m headed in the right direction. Contact me again and we are getting a restraining order.
Lyndsey
I PRAY THAT THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN TO YOU.
I WASN’T GIVEN THE CHANCE TO RAISE HER AND I WAS ROBBED OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER.
I MISSED ALL OF HER FIRSTS.
JUST BEFORE HER 8TH BIRTHDAY, I WAS ALLOWED TO SEE HER BRIEFLY. SHE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND I TOLD HER THAT I WOULD ANSWER THEM WHEN SHE WAS OLDER.
THE REASON; I DIDN’T WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HATE MY MOTHER.
MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE WANTED TO COME LIVE WITH ME. I TOLD HER THAT SHE COULD IF SHE WANTED TO, BUT I HAD TO GET ON MY FEET FIRST.
AFTER THAT, EVERY TIME I CALLED, MY MOTHER SAID THAT MY DAUGHTER WASN’T HOME. SHE WASN’T THERE WHEN I WANTED TO SEE HER. MY MOTHER STOPPED ANSWERING THE PHONE AND RETURNED ALL OF MY LETTERS TO MY DAUGHTER.
I SHOULD HAVE TOLD LYNDSEY EVERYTHING RIGHT WHEN SHE ASKED ME AND TOOK HER WITH ME WHEN I LEFT. SHE DOESN’T EVEN WANT TO SEE HER BABY BROTHER.
BUT I HAVE THE TRUTH ON MY SIDE.
WHEN SHE IS 18, MY GRANDMOTHER WILL TELL HER EVERYTHING AND SHE WON’T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH AND MY MOTHER WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY SHE DID EVERYTHING THAT SHE DID.
LYNDSEY SEES HER FATHER AND LIVES 4 BLOCKS AWAY FROM HIS PARENTS. HE NEVER WANTED HER AND DIDN’T POSE A THREAT TO MY MOTHER’S PLAN AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY HE HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER.
WHEN MY DAD VISITED HER HE TOLD HER THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO HER MOTHER IS, MY MOTHER CUT OFF ALL CONTACT BETWEEN THEM.
BUT I WILL HAVE JUSTICE.
TRASH TALKING IS DEFINED AS SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT SOMEONE THAT AREN’T TRUE.
I DIDN’T LIE ABOUT ONE SINGLE THING. I DON’T REGRET TELLING THE TRUTH. I REGRET NOT TELLING HER SOONER. SHE WOULD PROBABLY BE LIVING WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
Comment by JoLisa Lindbloom — August 22, 2008 @ 7:16 pm
I am so sorry for your situation JoLisa. Just remember the truth shall set you free in the end! I keep repeating that over & over. As for corrupt judges, lawyers, caseworker idiots…we should just BRING BACK THE LYNCH MOBS!
Comment by Susan — August 22, 2008 @ 9:45 pm
JoLisa, one of my daughters who was estranged from me as a teenager gave me the same attitude. She still won’t talk to me. I finally found out it is Parental Alienation Syndrome. If you don’t know what that is, google it. It isn’t the kids’ fault but they’ve been brainwashed to cut their parents out of their lives. If your daughter agrees to see you after age 18 you may be able to heal things. One of my daughters started a relationship with me at 18 and the other, her sister, wouldn’t. Sometimes they grow out of it and realize they’ve been brainwashed, and sometimes they don’t. I wish you all the best but am posting this so you know it is common and you’re not alone in your grief.

Well here we are into August and I have lost every thing. Lost my kids back in February 2008. Lost my good job and hung onto my crappy job till just last week. But now im getting a head in this story when I say I lost every thing…
I got a nice settlement from labor and industry went and moved us into a nice house, after the first social worker said we would get the kids back… LOL what a joke that was..I did every thing from pawning all my rings lol 2 as a matter of fact to cover the rent one month lol again joke on me…. when i say i have lost every thing things only get worse from here on out… I have done all the servers that CPS has asked me to complete… June the rent checked bounced my L and I money gone by this point no help from any one… And my 11 year old coming for a visit with Bruises on him from his foster care home… My 99 pickup is gone went back to the car lot as I cant keep up on the payments.. Oh ya then on July 1st that morning the insurance lapsed on my husbands 2004 Mazda and it was totaled out… The guy who hit the car didnt have to pay one cent for this car he only hit 5 cars the mazda got the worse damage..
My husband has been in and out of the hospital this month of July as he had chest pain lol told ya murphys law it only gets better… He was again diagnosed with a mild heart attack…. Brings us to the 8th of July we got served with a pay or vacate notice I had nothing left to pawn so there for we vacated. NOW HOMELESS… End of July Being of August again husband back in the hospital this time admitted for a week.. Blood clots and again another heart attack, He goes into the cardio dr on the 28th to see what kind of surgery they are goin to do this time.. Again another visit with the kids and again the 11 year old has bruises on his arm and finger print marks like some one grabbed him, and a human bite mark on his leg only one place he could have gotten these is in the foster home.. That brings us to the date of 8/18 6month foster care review board hearing and lies were in the paper work the SW turned in for this before she went on vacation to AFRICA.. 1. I dont know how every one feels but me my self cant not live in a house my child was raped in… The SW said that I was living there with my husband I lost it at the review hearing and told them that I could not live in a house my child was raped in… sense being homeless I have been bouncing from friends houses that will put me up for a few days at a time.. There are no shelters for single parents with no children.. 2. The state wants to adopted my 11 year old out and put my 15 year old with some one other then family….. At the review hearing they recommended that CPS check in with us every 2 days to see if we have housing so the kids can be returned home.. Every day and every night I cry. At the review hearing it was told by the fill in CPS worker that the 15 year old that was raped is not getting the counseling she needs. My 11 year old is getting abused in the foster care home.
And now I have lost my Crappy job and its really hard to get another one I have done home care for the last 20 years and no body will hire a BRYMAN/ Eton grad…… so im very limited on what I can do. Im thinking about delivering newpapers lol what a joke that will be. But hay cant be any worse then having a 5.00 pay check as office of support enforcement agreed to take 75.00 (but here we are they took my whole check. 598.00)… that gives me .38 a day to live on ya you heard right .38 cents a day…. Hm and today at the visit it was very hard to explain to the kids sorry I cant take you out to lunch. Or we cant go and do any of the fun things we used to do cause 5.00 just don’t go any where. No fair this year… And I know I don’t qualify for help cause i don’t have children in the home. Bills are collecting and i was going to file for bankruptcy lol on the with a 5.00 check

I’ve been there! When my oldest son, Joseph was molested, I tried to get the man charged and arrested. I wanted to super-glue the son-of-a-bitch’es erect penis to his stomach. After all, he did try to get me to sleep with him. I’d like to see him try to explain that to the cops!
Ofcourse, the creep didn’t even get charged and threatened to kill me for my son, “snitching,” on him. I couldn’t get the authorities to do anything about it and I ended up working 3 jobs to make ends meet. I saw my son for 2 hours every Thursday. I couldn’t get any help because my son didn’t live with me. I still couldn’t make ends meet and had a nervous breakdown. I ended up homeless. I feared for my life and my son’s and no help from anyone. I had to leave my precious baby behind.
I’m still haunted by that last visit. I’m haunted by every visit. He was a white child in an all black fosterhome and no children to play with. He wasn’t allowed to leave his room. They made him stay in bed a lot. They told him that he was a bad boy. He was scared and desperate to come home to me. He begged me to hide him, to sneak him out of the building.
My attorney made me plead guilty to all 10 allegations, making me choose between that and CPS forcing my son to testify against me. He would have said anything they wanted so that he could come home with me. I pled guilty under extreme durress.
I was homeless for several years because I just couldn’t get my life back. It didn’t help matters when my mother cut my daughter out of my life again. She said she felt guilty about everything she did to me and allowed my dad’s life partner, (who he later married,) to abuse me for almost 6 years. I told her that I forgave her long ago. I guess she decided that it meant that I was giving her permission to do me wrong again.
CPS used the fact that my other children didn’t live with me to make their case. (I had to put my younger 2 boys up for adoption because they had special needs so severe that I couldn’t take care of them. It wouln’t be fair to them or to Joseph, who was a 100% mama’s boy.) I didn’t have a chance.
I never signed away my rights because I didn’t want my son to think that I didn’t love him or want him. In hind-sight I realize that I should have let him testify, but before I went to court, I would have had to tell him not to lie, no matter what CPS said, weather they told him that they would let him come home, or that they threatened to do something to him or me.
I just keep making mistakes in the worst way. Now all I have is a 7 year old son with special needs and a husband who is my lifeline. Without them I would be dead.
I truely believe that God blessed me with them so that I could prove to my other children that I really am a good mother, (although I often don’t feel like I am,) and that I have always been a good mother to them while they were still with me.
Now that I know that my daughter hates me, I’m afraid that Joseph hates me too. But until he is 18, I can’t even begin to look for him. I can only post on the public message boards my current contact information here on the internet. I do this in the hopes that he or someone he knows will see one of them and contact me.
It always makes me sad to hear the stories on here. But when I do, it reminds me that I am not alone and that I am not crazy.
Until I found this website, I thought that maybe I was crazy and that I wouldn’t have lost my kids if the allegations weren’t true. But in my heart I have always known that we were victims. We still are.
Even though it hurts to know that Lyndsey hates me and terrifying that I don’t know where Joseph is or what has happened to him, I still pray that they are safe, happy and loved, that they know that I love them more than life itself and that we will be together again some day.
For all of you I pray that you never lose hope, for without hope one has nothing left to live for.

To the family,
Where my niece got the name from her family I don’t know but I to received a letter from an unknown source claiming to be my niece. She states we are probably a nice family; however, she has a family and does not desire another one. My wonderful niece. I just want you to know why you have a “family.” When you were about five after you had lingered in foster care I was told “you tell them that if they don’t sign you away they will take your brother also”. Yes, these are words I have to live with. They then signed you into adoption as they were forced to do so. You are now an adult and the abuse now continues from you and your brother because after your response that you “might consider meeting him and only him”; this came across as a snob and that you would seek “legal action”. I am quite sure you had help to say that. He to now has nothing to do with us because your “adoptors” contacted his former foster mother looking for him. Both of you have treated us like “crap”. I grew up in poverty and never never would I treat my parents the way you two are treating yours. You were both taken away at birth. Both of you were born healthy. Your parents did absolutely nothing to deserve the treatment they got from you, your brother, your adoptors and “former foster mother” and even though you are “adults” both you and your brother continue the emotional abuse. Your parents have suffered enough!!!!! Somebody has to take care of them because of all the suffering they went through because they simply gave both of you life; so I do what I can and so does your aging 72 year old grandmother.

Cps came into our lives in October 2007. I moved to a very small town in Georgia to escape life in busy Sacramento Ca. Thinking this would be a good move for our girls we bought a home there with our two daughters 9 and 10. And my 18 year old daughter from another marrige . My ex had and still is working in Iraq (non military) making over $120.000 a year he has been there now for almost five years. He only comes back to the States for a two week visit every four months. I thought my life was going great both girls had been on the honor roll at school for the last three years. And my ex would call daily to talk with me. One morning I got a knock on my frount door it was two gals. Sry cant bring myself to say ladies. And the local Sheriff. They said they needed to come in the house and talk with me. I was clueless. Scared something had happen to my girls I pushed them to tell me what was wrong. I was told my 10 year old had brought a bag of marijuana to school and said she took it from my 18 year olds room. I about fainted. They then walked into my older daughters bedroom and came out with her in handcuffs. I asked what was going on and they said they would be back in touch with me the next day. In the morning the two Cps workers showed up and told me they had released my daughter (after finding nothing). But If I did not want my younger girls taken away she would have to move out that day. I felt I had no choice and she moved into her friends house. But was told she could not return to the house or see her sisters. After talking with my younger daughter the night before she told me she never brought anything to school but she was talking about it to a friend. I called Cps to inquire about exactly what they had found. They told me to call the Sheriffs office. I did and was told they never found anything but had just heard it (now this is not what they told me the day before. They had told me then they found marijuana in a large bag) Now I was being told that was never said to me. I would not forget something like that. Well now CPS started comming by my home every week asking me crazy questions like how I was treated as a child and such. I was not really to nice to them being I knew they where out of line. So I was told that I needed to take a hair sample that week as well as my daughters friend who was 21 and staying in the home also.CPS called me about five days later to tell me they where both negitive. But that anyone who came to my home to include any friends had to be tested also. And if I refused this they would take the girls from me. My ex came home for his two week visit in November 06,2008 about 10 days after all this had happen. He informed me the same night he was home that he had been sleeping with a gal in Iraq. (we had been 13 years) I was angry and hurt I left the house and walked to a friends a few blocks away. I had three beers there and was offered to try some cocaine. I was tipsy hurt pissed and stupid because I tried it. It did nothing for me.Im 43 and should have been smarter .But I paid the price for it. I walked home after a few hours and my husband came to the door. He asked where I was and I told him and told him what I had done. Trying to piss him off. WOW was that a mistake. He hit me in the face several times knocked my tooth out and kicked me so hard in the stomach I flew back and split the back of my head open. I tried to call 911 but he tossed my cell phone. I finaly got out and started walking up the road ,soon to find the local Sheriff behind me. He asked who I was and told me to walk back to the house. I was covered in blood at this time mostly from my head wound. But my ex had already talked to the cops and told them I had used cocaine and I was acting crazy and I had hit myself. THAT WAS NUTT’S. So I thought. they called CPS and they took the girls that night and took us both to the jail house.NO I HAVE NO RECORD NOT EVEN A SPEEDING TICKET. My ex talked to me on the way there telling me I needed to say I fell or they would take the girls away. In the AM we spoke to the Judge my ex asked that I be drug tested. It was positive so they told me I had to leave the home and let my ex return there until we went to court. His charges where dropped because I said I fell. I was told because mine had not been and we where fighting (or I was) in frount of the girls I could not have any contact with my ex or the girls until I went to court for it. Not even 48 hours later I got a call from CPS telling me I could come to their office to see the girls. They had put them in foster care . I showed up to see them and they took me in the back and told me I had to be drug tested again.It came back still positive I tried to tell them I had not touched anything but it had not even been two days. They refused to let me see the girls.I talked with them for over an hour told them I knew I had done wrong but was a good mother. Just one who made a mistake. I told them of my ex’s three DUI’S They never even listen to me. In all the years my ex worked in Iraq he controlled all our money. Leaving most in banks in Iraq. I was now pennyless and homeless. I was staying in a motel with someone I hardly knew, but it was that or the streets. A judge called me and told me he would be tuning the girls over to my ex’s mother so he could return to Iraq for work. And that I needed to sign a peice of paper so the girls could receive medical help if needed. He said I could come back to get my girls as soon as I had a job and a place to stay and could support them. When they came to serve me I read it over ten times. It read just as the Judge said it would (for medical reasons only) After I signed it the Sheriff took out a peice of paper from a folder and handed it to me. It said I was unfit and could not support my girls. I cried all night. I have called CPS 1000’s of times since then they never returned even one of my phone calls. I found out later my 18 year old had told them my ex had exposed himself to her when she was 10 they never told me any of this. My older daughter said she was always afraid to tell me because she was afraid of losing her sisters. I question the CPS case manager about this. She told me it happen so long ago it didn’t matter anymore. I was also aproched by a lady I hardly knew and she told me my ex almost raped her when he gave her a ride home from the bar in November. I told CPS they ignored me. I gave them all her contact infor she said she was willing to talk to them. They did nothing. I told CPS that my ex’s brother and sisters who where around the girls now. All used meth and asked why they didnt have to be tested as I was. They told me the case on me was closed and not to bother them. Now they wont even take my calls. I am a good mother who made one mistake. But my ex got full custody of my girls. He has not been in their lives for over five years and is still not. They dont know his mother never did until Nov 2007. They are parentless we had never been apart until now. And with my ex having all this money to hire these great attorneys he wins by default. I know of no legal aid in Georgia. Not for custody. modification.But I will not stop fighing until they are home. They where born and raised in CA. They have a brother here and many sisters and Grandparents here. My ex has refused them all contact of any kind from the day he got custody. But I won’t give up. And you don’t either. We all make mistakes that does not give the law the right to rip our children from our lives. As long as you learn from your mistakes god will forgive you and you must forgive yourself. I have spent 100s of hours learning what family law is suppose to be about. Keeping familys together. For the children to keep close contact with both parents. WHAT A JOKE.. NO ONE CARES. EVERYONE IS ONLY IN IT FOR A PAYCHECK.

CPS Lies To Get Federal Funds

CPS Law children fraud government money
A dshs, child protective service worker came to my parent’s house and took my brother’s baby. Procurement of an order to seize a child through distortion, misrepresentation, and/or omission in court and is a violation of the fourth amendment. ( Malik v. Arapahoe Cty. Dept. of Social Services. (10th Cir. 1991) That is exactly what the cps worker did. She either failed to fully investigate intentionally or recklessly, withheld potentially exculpatory information from the court.
There are not federal funds for, CPS, if the child is in relative care. She did nothing to keep the child in her home. She took her from her home and tried to badger my brother into giving custody of his child to the state. She continued the hearings to get his child back, trying to brake him down and sign away his rights. When he finally had his day in court, the judge agreed the CPS worker had taken the child unlawfully and returned the baby back to her home. This was two weeks later.
State and Federal laws state “every effort must be made to keep the child in the home (RCW 74.14A.020., RCW 26.44.063,RCW 13.34.060,Finding — 1999 c 17: “The legislature has found that any intervention into the life of a child is also an intervention in the life of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian, and that the bond between child and parent is a critical element of child development. The legislature now also finds that children who cannot be with their parents, guardians, or legal custodians are best cared for, whenever possible and appropriate by family members with whom they have a relationship. This is particularly important when a child cannot be in the care of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian as a result of a court intervention.†[1999 c 17 § 1.]
WAC 388-15-037, RCW 26.44.063, RCW 74.04.050, RCW 13.34.020, RCW 74.13.031, RCW 26.44.030, 42 U.S.C. § 671 (a) (15) and 672 (a) (1) -That is not all the laws she broke, and there are plenty of case laws to back this up.
As shown above RCW 13.34.00 finding; The government cps worker not only did nothing to prevent removal of the child from her home, she intentionally took her from her home. My brother had left his daughter in my parents/his parents/baby’s grandparents care, where both the baby and my brother had lived since the baby was born. The cps worker had prior knowledge that the grandparent were, cps approved, bonded with the child, yet still traumatize the baby and put her in a foster home. The trauma caused by this cps worker is unforgivable, and that it disruptions in the parent-child/grandparent-child relationship provokes fear and anxiety in a child and diminish her sense of stability and self. At first, the child is very anxious and protests vigorously and angrily. Then she falls into a sense of despair, though still hyper vigilant, looking, waiting, and hoping for her return. A child’s sense of time factors into the extent to which a separation affects her emotional well-being. Thus, for younger children whose sense of time is less keenly developed, short periods of parental absence seem much longer. “Taking a child whose greatest fear is separation from her family and in the name of ‘protecting’ that child by forcing on them, what is in effect their worst nightmare, is tantamount to poring salt on an open wound”. Another serious implication of removal is that it introduces children to the foster care system, which can be much more dangerous and debilitating than the home situation. Foster homes are rarely screened for the presence of violence and that the incidence of abuse and child fatality in foster homes is double that in the general population.
This child was born addicted to drugs. Which had nothing to do with my brother. She was taken to PICC center. A hospital that specializes in getting newborns off drugs. They were very pleased with my brother’s care, concern, and attentiveness. So much so, they wrote a letter stating how my brother did everything perfectly to help this child through this difficult time. They said she was “one of the most well-adjusted PICC graduates that he had seen in a very long time.
CPS was told my brother that she would be going through the worst part of the withdrawal and that she was not developing properly. The baby was promptly taken to her pediatrician, who gave her a clean bill of health. He took her back to the PICC hospital, who ensured him she was medically normal, healthy infant that had out grown the effects of the drugs.
She was so healthy the PICC center used her picture and story for their funding flyer. Then later came to her home and made a video of my brother and her for another funding project.
CPS is supposed to protect children. This woman did not care about the best interest of the child. Did you know that of the millions of people in prisons, 70% of them were foster kids. What ever her motive was, she traumatized this baby, and it should be stopped before more children grow up and go to prison. It is estimated that it cost $200,000 a year to keep inmates in prison.
She has clearly violated the 1st amendment (Doe v. Irwin US. D.C. of Michigan 1985,
Elrod v. Burns 96 S. Ct. 1976,
She also violated 4th, 5th, 9th, and 14th amendments (324 A 2d 90; supra 129 nj Super at 489, 369 NW 2d 889, MI App Div 1983, Reynold v. Baby Fold, Inc., Santosky V. Kramer 102 S. Ct. 1388 1982, Chrissy v. Department of Public Welfare 5th Cir. 1991, Malik v Arapahoe Cty Department of Social Services 10th Cir 1999) I could go on and on.
My parents and my brother are to afraid to complain to anyone, fearing cps will make up lies and take the baby again. They only let my brother see his child once a week for an hour, and it is supervised by cps. It will not let him see more until at least the fact-finding hearing. They do nothing to protect the bonding so extentional to child development.
Not only are they trying to hurt the child and her dad, but they are trying to bring me into their the case, by telling the foster parents, my brother, my parents, the mother of the child and the baby’s lawyer that I had, had one or two kids taken away from me in the past. First, I think do not think that would be public information, second it has nothing to do with my brother’s case with them, and lastly it shows how much they really care about children. They reference them like mud pies, with no concern “one or twoâ€. I would think people that had a job caring for children, would not reference them in such a casual way. It is not important to them; they are not talking as if they are not living beings, but like mud pies “One or twoâ€. That does not show any concern about children to me. Maybe you could ask them how many other foster children are in the home with my child? Would they reply, “Oh, one or two, it depends on how many sold, I mean were adopted this week.â€
I have not researched this yet. I am quite sure that is not public information for cps to give to any informantion they may or may not have about me to anyone. I am not being investigated and do not live with my parents, this information would have nothing to do with investigating my brothers case. It seems she is getting desperate and is trying to dig up anything on anybody with no regard for privacy laws, or any law for that matter. The mother has two other children that have been taken from her. Although the mother has given up all her parental right to the baby, the cps worker is sending my brother a copy of the files. I have no idea what this information has to do with this case, but I would not think she should be giving private information out like candy on Halloween. This woman seems a little unstable. She just goes around lying in court, taking children, giving out protected information, and god only knows what else she has up her sleeve.
I she is breaking state and federal laws and getting federal funding by doing so. Cps gets federal funding, but cps must follow rules to leagally qualify for that funding… One of the first rules is that the cps must do everything possible to keep the child in her home. That includes having the parent leave the home first .Offer services or any option that would keep the child in her home. (.RCW 26.44.063).
Cps having prior knowledge of the baby’s living situation could have used this option of having my brother leave and letting the baby stay, saving everyone a lot of worry and heartache. Cps also knew the baby’s grandparents had been approve by cps. They were “CPS approved†and already had background checks. If cps were looking out for the best interest of the child, she would have never taken the child, from her grandparents. The child had already bonded with them, loved, and trusted them. I cannot imagine what reasoning she used putting the baby in foster care, and taking her from a loving home.
Another state and federal law is if the child cannot stay in her home, they must try to find a relative to take the child, before putting the baby into foster care. She was already in a home with relative care. She did not call one relative. By not telling the truth, it helped her get the warrant and money from the federal government. Which in turn, help her with what ever she was planning, and what gain she would be getting by traumatizing a whole family?
All information is supposed to be presented to the judge. It is suppose to be written out in detail what she did to keep the baby in the home and the relatives she contacted. She did not do one thing to prevent this baby from being put into foster care; in fact, she made sure the baby was put in foster care… In my opinion, she had some other motive for taking the baby and putting her in foster care. It sure was not in the best interest of the child.
She is lying to get federal money by not following the above rules. That cannot be legal. She is hurting innocent children, and I cannot see where she even makes reasonable decisions; she brakes the law, over uses her authority and she breaks innocent peoples constitutional rights. This does not seem like a person or maybe a whole agency that should be looking out for the care of humans that are defenseless and she refers about as if they were mud pies.
I believe this must be stopped immediately. I would go as far to think she is selling these children to people. She sure had no reason to remove the baby from her home, no matter what she thought my brother might have done. We are very lucky that my brother had some prior experience with cps; otherwise, he would have done what he did when the child was born. What cps tries and make you do, sign a dependency, and your court appointed attorney agrees with them and doesn’t even inform you what you are doing or what other options you have. He knew better this time, but cps tried and pushing him, and having the dependency hearing the same day as the shelter hearing without council. Cps feels they have all the power needed, after all what greater power could you have over a person, but taking you kids.
As far as I can tell the govern themselves. If you want to file a complaint, you have to start with filing a complaint with the cps worker’s immediate supervisor. If you do not like the results you get from that supervisor, you can go up one more. Although, I have phoned different offices several times and both supervisor that work in the offices are either on vacation, out of the office that week, or some other lame excuse. So I was not even able to talk to a supervisor. Then I called the regional office, but they are not sure what can be done, but they have document called a “tortâ€, and they will email it to me. It has seems they can do pretty much whatever they want to you and your family. By the time, you could file a complaint they would have probably already auctioned off your kids, and say, they have not been with you so long they are not going to give them back.
I have heard horror stories about fighting cps. If is not something they do to you, they get your family’s kid or even your lawyers kids. They usually target low-income people that do not know their rights, and cannot afford to hire a lawyer. They do not know any better and think they have to sign this dependency or cps will keep their kids. I have first hand experience with this it is not just something I made up. I know they do this and set you up to fail. They make you go to so many classes and pay child support. If you go to everything, they want you to go to, you do not have time, or employers are not willing to work around your schedule. If you do not do everything they say, they keep your kids. If you do not work, you cannot pay your child support and they have your driver’s license taken away, and then you do have the money to go to the classes and even if you did, you do not have a driver’s license to get to them. If you drive, anyway, you end up in jail and they still keep your kids.
They do all this by making you believe they have a right to tell you what a terrible parent you are, all because an x-spouse is angry with you and will do anything to make sure your life is a living hell. When 40% of children in foster care could go home if they had the resources for affordable housing and day care. Instead of helping the family stay together, they give middle-income people the money to take your children. They even give adoptive parent money, health insurance and whatever they think they need and cps a bonus for getting the child adopted. However, they do not help the families stay together, they do not receive any federal funds if the family is reunited, and the family does not receive any help either.
Seventy percent of the millions of people in our prisons were foster children. Which cost tax payers $200,000 a year for each inmate. The parent turns to drugs and alcohol to relieve some of the pain. Or they get so depressed they suicidal tendency, they hurt so bad they have mental problems so deep seeded and never recover. They end homeless, in jails or institutions. Did you know that the bible thumpers abuse their children more often and more severely than the drug addicts, but less likely to be investigated?
Luckily, this time my brother knew cps does not act in the child’s best interest. My parents and him are financially devastated from their last ordeal with them. He had not even done anything wrong, but was bull dogged into believing what cps said. This time he did not sign anything and asked for a lawyer. It was hard because he would have to wait two more weeks before there was even a chance to get his baby back and out of danger. No matter what you do, the family is always the ones that have all the pain, and it’s just another mud pie to them, but they are going to make sure that’s all you have is mud pie and a broken heart.
I researched everything in the dependency papers as good as I could. I am not a lawyer or even close. He gave everything I had to his lawyer and lucky the judge agreed the cps worker had defiantly over stepped her bounds, and the baby was finally returned to my parents, pending the next hearing.
They just keep trying to break you. My brother can only see his daughter once a week for an hour in a little room, being supervised by cps. Can you imagine what a baby would go through, she is only 14 months old only seeing her dad who has been with her almost day and night from birth, to only seeing him for an hour, and being taken away again. I see absolutely no reason he could not have more liberal visitation, with my parents supervising. CPS just continues to traumatize the baby, and will continue unless he gives custody to the state. How can one hour a week be good for the father or the baby? The baby surely does not understand why her dad keeps abandon her, but cps makes sure to make it as hard on the family as they can. With no regard to the baby’s well being.
I could not imagine what would happen if he sign a dependency. He does not have any money anymore and I truly believe he would never get her back. This is just my opinion, but I truly believe that they have a buyer for his baby and that is why they are doing nothing to reunite the family and everything to destroy them. What other reason could this women have for trying to break this family apart?
I could not find any place other than the FBI to file a complaint of any kind about cps. Other than, the same office that is causing all this grief to start with. Who lies to get federal money, kidnaps children, and disables parents.
I do not expect that you will respond to this, but if you cannot investigate these things, could you please at least tell me whom I could get in touch with that would investigate without letting them know who is involved. My parent, brother, and I too, are so worried, scared, and live in fear every day that they might just come here and take her again.
This needs to be stopped. It has taken such a toll on our whole family, none of us will ever be the same, and government should not be allowed to ruin families, and do who knows what to they do to the children they take.
I am begging you please help us or tell us who can.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Bliss

CPS abuse terrorist children
I once came across a pamphlet while I was being harassed by Social Services. It was a pamphlet that had warning signs and methods of abuse - namely domestic. I think I fell over laughing while reading this thing - because EVERY method and warning sign on the pamphlet was something I had experienced at the hands of a Social Worker. Every single one. Let me give you the list from the pamphlet:
Emotional abuse- Putting her down or making her feel bad about herself, calling her names
Economic abuse - Trying to keep her from securing or keeping a job; Making her ask for money
Using children - Making her feel guilty about the children, using the children to give her messages, using visitation as a way to harass her
Threats - Making and/or carrying out threats to do something to hurt her physically and emotionally - take the children, commit suicide
Using superior privilege - Treating her like a servant, making all the “big” decisions, acts like master of the castle
Intimidation - Putting her in fear by using looks, actions, gestures, loud voice, destroying her property
Isolation - Controlling what she does, who she sees and talks to and where she goes
Now why call them ‘terrorists’? I am not using the term to be excessive, sensational or extreme. I mean it literally. And I intend to prove it to you. Most of us in today’s times have some idea of what a terrorist is and what they do. Let me take you further into the educational loop. These excerpts are from the Journal of The Singapore Armed Forces. The full article is here: The Motivations and Methods of the Terrorist
by MAJ (NS)(DR) Aaron Chia Eng Seng
Definition
“One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter.”
The word “terrorist” comes from the Latin root word terrere meaning “to cause to tremble.” The designation of terrorism is a subjective argument about the legitimacy of certain violent acts as much as it is a descriptive statement about them. “If the world is perceived to be peaceful, violent acts appear as terrorism. If the world is at war, violent acts may be regarded as legitimate. They may be seen as pre-emptive strikes, as defensive tactics in the ongoing battle.”3 For example, the US has been accused of terrorism in the atrocities committed during the Vietnam War and there is some basis for considering the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as terrorist acts.4 Thus, to the attackers, whoever stands by a just cause cannot be called a terrorist.5 On the other hand, the diverse origins and semantic justifications of terrorist acts are irrelevant to the victims.6
Causes and Motivations
The underlying causes and motivations of terrorism can be studied at three levels: individual, national or group and international.
Individual:
There are those who join to find their identities by becoming part of the group. They commit acts to feel accepted. Because of the need to belong to the group, they seldom resign or compromise their involvement.
It takes a community of support and in many cases, a large organizational network for an act of terrorism to succeed.15 It also requires an enormous amount of moral presumption for the perpetrators of these acts to justify the brutal attack on another life, especially the life of someone one scarcely knows and against whom one bears no personal enmity. It requires social acknowledgement, and the stamp of approval from a legitimising ideology or authority one respects. Because of the moral, ideological and organisational support necessary for such acts, most of them come as collective decisions.
National Or Group Level:
At the national or group level, specific conditions of the state and of the social system may provoke people to terrorism….Terrorism often becomes a useful tool in the tolerant liberal states, which are vulnerable to it. Severe repression, or under-reaction, implying incompetence on behalf of the reacting government may both attract and encourage further terrorism.18 The evolution of the modern political terrorism is historically parallel to the development of the liberal state.19 Terrorism evolved at the same rate as liberal ideas were expanding. First there is anarchist terrorism that is associated with the concept of the “propaganda of the deed”. This advocates the propagation of the anarchist message among the masses by terrifying governments and people, so as to bring about a revolutionary atmosphere of socio-political insecurity.20 Among the ideologies of revolution, Maoism provides a basis for a great deal of justification for terrorism.21 Maoism has had a great influence on Western New-Leftists as well as modern anarchist terrorism and, especially, on terrorists of the Third World.22 Trotsky once said: “Terror can be very efficient against a reactionary class which does not want to leave the scene of operations.”23
The initial motivations for groups to resort to terrorism may be simple. However, later rationalisation may blur their motives.
Strategy, Tactics and Weapons:
The strategy for terrorists encompasses the following:36 First, the act must be horrifying, striking at innocent lives that have nothing to do with the cause the terrorists are espousing; second, it provokes uncertainty and is directed against the society as a whole and does not distinguish civilians and military targets; third, it depends and uses the mass media to communicate and publicise its acts and motives. The use of violence is obligatory in order to induce fear and chaos and it is aimed at the people and the institutions of the established order.37 Violence provides the glue that binds terrorists together into a unity of purpose even for those who are violently opposed to one another. They also aim to make themselves into heroes and so persuade opponents and neutrals that the terrorists’ cause is righteous and their actions are justified.38 Their strategy is to make the other party appear in the wrong or be guilty of brutality. In religiously motivated terrorism, “Satanization” has been used to de-legitimise an opponent.39
I hope this gives you some insight for now into exactly why by definition CPS as a whole, and social workers as individuals are abusers and terrorists - you just can’t ignore basic definitions and fact.

I agree with you 100% I have done the research and I encourage anyone with children or knows anyone with children to educate themselves about the laws and their rights.
We are not bound by the BARR Association to be within their, “guidelines,” and therefore are free to represent ourselves better and more appropriately as long as we know what we are doing.
Before you are able to do this, you must first appear before the judge and declare over and exercise your sovereign rights, also known as your, “God given rights.” These rights are yours. Anyone under man’s law is owned by a corporation. The few who exercise their sovereignity are not under man’s law and theirfore not owned by corporate. That is the true definition of freedom and is what this country was founded and built on.
The constitution is supposed to protect us but is only used on the government’s side, “innocent until proven guilty.”
For us, the constitution doesn’t protect us that way because they cheat by lying their asses off.
The 5th amendment works for them because they, as governmental authorities, are not required to give any information that they choose to label as classified.
For us, what we don’t say is just as bad as what we do say because we automatically look guilty.
The freedom of speach only applies to government officials.
We are restricted as to what we can say to government officials. If we even so much as tell someone in, “authority,” our opinions or ever iron-clad facts can get us arrested. They can harrass us with their freedom of speach and we can’t stop them, but when the tables are turned they claim they are in fear for their safety and anyone they claim to, “protect and serve.”
The right to privacy only applies to those who accuse you of wrong-doing. According to the law, we have the right to face our accuser’s in court. But the law is rescinded when we excercise our right to face our accuser’s. They are protected by words like, “classified.”
Cat-stir, I strongly suggest that you have your famiy learn family law inside and out. And use that knowlege to fight back.
I wish you and your family a speedy end to your terrorist’s attacks.

THIS MESSAGE APPLIES TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER LET ANYONE IN YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT WITNESSES AND A TAPE RECORDER.
THEY WILL TRY TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW, BUT AS LONG AS YOU TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE BEING RECORDED AT THE VERY BEGINNING, ALSO NOTING ON THE TAPE THE DATE AND TIME AND WHO IS PRESENT, THEIR NAMES AND AUTHORITATIVE POSITIONS.
HERE IS ANOTHER THING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO VIDEOTAPE IN YOUR HOME, YOU ONLY HAVE TO POST A SIGN BY THE FRONT DOOR STATING THAT YOUR CAMERA MAY BE ON AT ALL TIMES.
CAMARAS DON’T LIE AND CAN BE USED IN COURT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT IF YOU DECIDE TO USE IT IN COURT, THE AUTHORITIES CAN SUBPOENA EVERYTHING YOU HAVE VIDEOTAPED AND USE IT AGAINST YOU. YOU WOULD BE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PROVACY.

This is much more common than people tend to think. My mother did the same thing to me for nearly 2 years because she is a manipulative, jealous control freak. She did it for different reasons though.
See, my mother decided that she didn’t really want to be a mother after me and my younger sister were born. My sister is 2 years younger than me. When I was 3, she had an abortion and got fixed because she didn’t want anymore kids.
When I was 7, My mother took my sister in the middle of the night, leaving me with my dad. It was their 10th anniversary. She didn’t say goodbye, leave a note or even tell us that she was leaving. I think that the only reason that she took my sister is because she didn’t want to have to have to pay child support.
She was always leaving my sister with friends and family members, just like she did before she abandoned me but she would leave us with strangers and go party when my dad was away on business.
My father was basically on auto-pilot from then on, not knowing what to do with me. We moved in with his parents until he could get on his feet. One of his co-workers was having a house warming party, which he took me too and they were really nice to me. But he met a friend of theirs who hated kids and even got herself fixed as soon as she turned 18.
My dad got drunk and slept with her that same night right in the living room of at the friends house. I slept in their son’s room with him on a bunk bed that night.
From that moment on, that woman was my worst nightmare. My dad stopped trying to protect me from her early on because he didn’t want to fight with her and she abused me severely for almost 6 years. It’s a miracle that I am still living.
My mother knew the entire time and even sent my sister to live with me for nearly 8 months when I was 11. She did take me for about 2 1/2 weeks when I was 8 to use my bruises to get her way in the divorce. She kept my sister and sent me back to live in hell until I was 13.
I was molested by the same friend/co-worker that hooked my dad up with that terrorist and I ran away because I was blamed for it and was getting punished for being molested. They would strip search me before school and watch me take a cold shower every night.
I did all of the housework, yardwork, cooking and laundry. I WAS FORCED TO PICK UP CAT AND DOG SHIT WITH MY HANDS!, WAS BEATEN WITH A BELT AND WAS FORCED TO BEAT MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL. SHE MADE ME LOOK IN THE BATHROOM MIRROR AND CALL MYSELF A LIAR, A CHEATER AND A THIEF OVER AND OVER FOR HOURS AT A TIME. I WAS PUNISHED FOR BRINGING HOME SCHOOL WORK AND SHE WAS ALWAYS MAKING UP REASONS TO STARVE ME. I WASN’T ALLOWED TO HAVE NEW OR CLEAN CLOTHES, CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, BIRTHDAY PRESENTS MONEY OR PLAY OUTSIDE WITH OTHER KIDS. I HAD NO TOYS OR FURNIATURE IN MY ROOM, NO LIGHT AND MY WINDOW AND DOOR HAD LOCKS ON THEM. I’M ALERGIC TO PEANUTS SO SHE WOULD ONLY LET ME EAT PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES. WHEN WE WOULD VISIT FRIENDS OR RELATIVES, I WASN’T ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYTHING OFFERED TO ME, I WAS ONLY TO SAY NO THANK YOU AND SMILE. AFTERWARDS, SHE WOULD MAKE ME CLEAN THEIR KITCHENS AND DO THEIR DISHES SO THAY COULD VISIT WITHOUT INTERUPTION. I WASN’T ALLOWED TO SIT ON ANYONE’S FURNIATURE. SHE WAS ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE THAT I WAS A LIAR AND A THIEF. THE FEW PEOPLE WHO KNEW THE THUTH, THOUGH, DID NOTHING. THEY WOULDN’T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE OF WHAT HER REACTION WAS. THEY WOULD JUST LOOK AT ME WITH AN APOLOGETIC LOOK ON THEIR FACES. MY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAME OUT TO MY HOUSE AND ASKED THE TERRORIST’S MOTHER IF I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH AND SHE CONFIRMED EVERYTHING. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, A POLICE OFFICER CAME OUT TO TALK TO MY DAD AND HE AND THE TERRORIST TOLD THE OFFICER THAT I WAS A PROBLEM CHILD. THE COP THEN QUESTIONED ME IN FRONT OF THEM AND I WAS SO AFRAID THAT HE WOULDN’T TAKE ME AWAY AND PROTECT ME THAT I SAID I LIED. CPS DID GET INVOLVED AND EVEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I DESERVED THE ABUSE BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT ME AND I WAS TOLD TO BEHAVE. SO WHEN AT 13 I RAN AWAY, MY MOTHER DIDN[T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR ME TO TAKE A GREYHOUND BUS TO STAY WITH HER. HER INTENTIONS WERE TO TALK ME INTO GOING BACK AND WHEN I REFUSED AND THREATENED TO REPORT EVERYTHING TO THE AUTHORITIES INCLUDING THE FACT THAT SHE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME THE ENTIRE TIME AND SHE DECIDED TO KEEP ME. I WENT FROM A PRISON-LIKE HOUSE TO ONE THAT WAS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. NO RULES, NO BOUNDARIES, NO SUPERVISION AND NO DICIPLINE. I WAS FED AND HAD CLEAN CLOTHES BUT I WASN’T PART OF THE FAMILY. I WAS FAILING IN SCHOOL BECAUSE I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS BEING TAUGHT AND WAS STILL IGNORED AND NEGLECTED EMOTIONALLY. SHE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO GET FAMILY COUNCELING BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T WANT TO END UP IN JAIL FOR CRIMINAL NEGLECT AND FAILING TO PROTECT ME. I GOT PREGNANT WHEN I WAS 14 AND BECAUSE I REFUSED TO HAVE AN ABORTION, SHE KICKED ME OUT. I WENT FROM FOSTER HOMES TO FRIEND’S HOUSES MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY. SHE SET ME STAY WITH HER TEMPORARILY AFTER MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN TO RECOVER FROM A C-SECTION. I HAD AN INFECTION AND ALMOST DIED BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T GET ME MEDICAL ATTENTION. I’M ONLY ALIVE BECAUSE I HAD A PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE THAT CAME TO CHECK ON ME A WEEK AFTER I GAVE BIRTH. I COULDN’T BREASTFEED WHILE I WAS ON ANTIBIOTICS AND SO MY MOTHER LITERALLY TOOK OVER.
My daughter was alergic to all baby formulas and hated pacifiers but my mother forced them on her. When i healed up she kicked me out and tried to keep my daughter but the cops said that she had no rights to my daughter. I raised my daughter in fostercare for almost 2 years, Just like you, after hundreds of false reports to CPS by my mother, CPS decided that the allegations must be true and gave my daughter to my mother. I was cut off from my daughter. My mother changed her phone number, changed her locks and got a restraining order against me. Then she moved, forged my signature on a temporary custody document which also had my foster mother’s forged signature as a witness. After 6 months she filed for permanent custody and only got it because of her attorney getting the hearings postboned, (because I showed up to every one of them,) he finally managed to get a hearing without my knowlege and my mother got permanent custody only by default.
This set off a domino affect for CPS to continue to harrass me and invade my privacy. My 3rd and 4th children, both boys, had severe disabilities and I had no choice but to give them up for adoption. So when my oldest son was molested, CPS used all of it to take him away from me, and the man who molested him was never charged.
I watched him go through hell in foster care. They hit him, made him stay in bed all of the time and verbally abused him, told him he was bad and that he was stupid. He was a white child in an all black household and there were no other children for him to play with.
CPS stole him on his 4th birthday. He begged me to hide him at every visit, to sneak him out of there, to protect him and run away with him. I WAS POWERLESS! I didn’t know then what I do now. If I did, I wouldn’t have let them manipulate me into pleading guilty of all ten allegations of child abuse and neglect. I nearly threw up in the courtroom because none of it was true. But they were going to make my son testify, and they had been beating him down and brainwashing him. He would have said anything they told him to if they would let him go home with me, and I didn’t want to put him through that. I should have done things so differently. Because the man who molested my son threatened to kill me repeatedly and even attempted to throw me off of an overpass that was directly above the freeway, I had to leave or die. I will never get over it. It nearly killed me to leave him behind, but CPS wasn’t giving him back and they even tried to get me to sign away my parental rights. I refused. I don’t want him to ever think I abandoned him.
It’s been over 10 years but I will NEVER STOP LOOKING FOR HIM!! He will be 18 on April 17, 2012. Until then all I can do is post my contact information on the internet public message boards and register at reunion registries.
I just found my daughter and contacted her. She will be 18 the day after Christmas. She wrote back to me stating that she doesn’t want anything to do with me and if I contact her again she is going to get a restraining order against me.
I got married in 2000 on Memorial Day, my first anniversary. My youngest son was a honeymoon baby. I almost lost him too while he was still a newborn, but I had enough people backing me up to fill 3 courtrooms at max capasity! He is 7 now, the age that my mom abandoned me. He has special needs. I couldn’t live through the grief of losing him too. I don’t understand how a mother could abuse, neglect or abandon her child as I was. I wanted all of my babies and I love all of them more than life itself. It hurts that I don’t have them, but I think that the reason I have my 7 year old is to prove to my kids that I really am a good mother, though I don’t always feel like I am. I can only pray that my family, along with all of the families devistated because of CPS is reunited.
Fight back! Arm yourself with knowlege and take back what is rightfully yours! You owe it to your children. It’s too late for me, but until your rights are terminated, it’s not too late for you.
BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To anyone it may concern,
Once again, I am leaving my contact information on this site because there is information I can give you to help you fight back.
But my hands are tied as to what I can leave on here. Whenever I list a helpful website on here, my comment disappears. I was talking with Christy on the phone last night, (who also lives in Washington state like me,) and I brought this up to her. She told me that it is happening everywhere, even on utube.
So the only way that I can help anyone who needs it is if they contact me on my email or write to my PO Box. I can also be reached on my cell phone, but I only answer if I know who is calling. If someone leaves a message on my voicemail, I call them back ASAP.
Please understand that I really do want to help the parents on this website. Not only did I live through the hell of severe abuse, neglect and abandonment and spent most of my teenage years in foster homes, I have also lost 4 of my 5 kids, 2 of which I gave up because I literally couldn’t take care of them.
My 3rd child and son is autistic and deaf, my forth child and son is severely autistic. I know the people who adopted them and they have the time and money to care for them properly. MY 2nd child and son was a victim of the government, and my oldest child and my only daughter ended up with my mother after she lied about me to CPS for nearly 2 years.
What I can’t comprenend is how a mother could hate her child, neglect and abandon what she carried in her body for 9 months and gave life to, a precious gift from God that blessed her, to not care if her child was okay, to know that her child was in danger and not have the instinct to protect her baby, no matter how old he/she has become, how she could decide that one of her children was worth loving and protecting and the other nothing more than last weeks garbage.
But I know how I feel about my children. I know that it just isn’t natural for a mother to not bond with her child, especially if the child has bonded with his/her mother. I was abandoned and after years of hell was blessed with motherhood. I wasn’t given the chance to watch them grow and show them my love for them, I was robbed of my God-given rights, just like everyone else here.
But I still have a child with special needs that knows about his other sibblings, who doesn’t understand why he never sees them, who has a sister who was stolen because of his grandmother and wants nothing to do with him because of his grandmother’s lies.
Helping you helps me keep my sanity. For my assistance, please contact me at lindbloom_jm@yahoo.com or at PO Box 44162 Tacoma WA 98448-0162 or call me on my cell at 253-212-6978
God bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Amy & JoLisa ,
I am a Grandmother in Great Distress Over both your Stories and mine isn’t nearly as horric as yours I completely Understand !!
As My Ddaughteer has been put thru some completely ass of nine stuff all Under the Pretence of so-called (Protecting the Child) However if they had done their so-called job properly they Wouldn’t have My GrandKids…
My Daaughter had a slimeball of a boyfriend (for lack of a better term) Because Friends-true Friends are not suppose to hurt you like that ….
In spite of the fact that didn’t approve him in the first place doesn’t matter … The fact that he got her to be friends with the woman he just dumped to be with her after learning the other one was pregnant with him child was totally stupid all the way around ..Now I tried to do the Best i could raaising 4 Children on mine own after their Father Left Us ..just wasn’t enough…
But God gave Me these 4 Precious Gifts to raise & care for so I at least had to try to do the best I could …
So anyway afteeer all the problems She had I decided to let her Use own Best Judgement & the fact that she way 18 might of had something to do with that choice… Altho for the most part she has a pretty good head on her shoulers even ssso some of the best of can become good judgement impaired when it comes to certain people …. Altho I do have to say She came to Her sences when she was Pregnant with their 3rd Child & Left Him … Which didn’t sit well with him after all he was sleeping around on her the whole time they we’re together as couple altho THANK GOD NEVER MARRIED ….And in as much as I don;t Believe in that I was still greatful for that….
Now She was 3mos pregnant with the third Child when the affair read it’s ugly head and things had to change of all of them ..
She had filed for Custody of the Children filed abuse charges againt him for which he was never arrested for ; Instead the police kept tring to find out where she was so they could get her to move back home with him & when no-one would tell them He called CPS in a next door town & voiced his concerns for the Children ..
So the Judge thaat was on Her side from the git go was now odering her to let him haave Unchapperproned overnite visits with the kids at which point he refused to give them back & hid them out to which She called the sheriffs on him & then he was ordered to return the Children .. Now this is all documented … at which point he was order to take the Children to the Sheriffs office Drop them off and the She was to pick up .. So He brought his New girlfriend with him & in front of the Sheriffs Officce proceded to Beat her Up knowing She was Pregnant ..Now a women Sheriff showed up & My Daughter had ask this so-called police officer to help and which time the Cop said ” If I arrest Her I will also have to arrest you too for fighting in Public she could tell the difference in beating some-one up & being beat up! and then she said (then where would your children be ) So My Daughter just grabbed Her Children & ran needless to say a fffews weeks lateeer My Daughter Delivered a Premature Baby Boy weighing 1lb 4ozs & 11inches long … Whom is By the Grace of God alive today & Now 6 yrs old. Altho living in foster care rather than Mama Thannks to his shiftless father & girlfiend… however he still got to keep the overnites .. he would oick them up on Monday & Bring them home on Wednesday& when nothing got him what he wanted which really wasn’t the Children in as much as it was the power in taking them from her …So he and this person that my Daughter dispized could raise them together…. and Shefiled sexual abuse charges against which the hospital verified with writen documentaion ..still nothing was done however she made sure that there was always a restraining order in place and uptodate for which his was always violating & never getting more than a warning for…So one weekend while she down visiting her Newborn he got a so-called mutual ffriend to help him break into her house and moved himself in bag & baggage..so when she got home he was there but not before he managed to call CPS in Victorville whitch is about 35 to 40 miles away and pretend to be a so-called concerned citizen and said that she let her abuseive drug addicted ex-boyfriend move back & that he was concerned about the Children … show they came out a few days later and said ( they had a report that he was living in the home with her & she failed to report it and that there was some concerns from from the neighbors… she said she had reported it to the police who wrote it off as a dosmestic dispute & that they should work it out for the Children and then the Intake worker said ( We can REmove him if you like us too!) know he was less than 5 ft from her she replied OH can You ?
which not the responce they wanted so they took the Children knowing any other rreponce could have gotten her beat up by him…that was April 19,2002 after which he stay for 1 week longer got rid of most of her furniture then moved out and back in with his girlfriend …. then as you know several court dates later they decided to attemp a reunification with the father and the girlfriend so they had a metiator come in hashed out their verison of a visitation and placed the Children with them for 3 mos and that as you can guessed didn’t workout so they we’re then placed back in foster carre because of the parties going on & the Children not being looked after properly drinking ,drugs and so fourth …so then after more court dates and playing the game according to their rules .. he was given another chance at reunification despite the obections of the children who just wanted to be with mom several lying socal workers lateer Mom had met some one who gave her comfort & a Baby for which CPS couldn’t wait to get their hands on & did as he was born with Heart problems and had to have surgeries for in the meantime she did all the classes did all the drug testing & got her CPR certification learn to drive got several little pay on the spot jobs
and once again they him temporary custody of the kids this time their 3 as the premiee was now able to be placcce with him also .. which ended the poor child thru abuse & negect in a full body cast for about 4 mos … to which they held her responciable for
ass for the newest member of the Family they started resricing her visits to him & place him into a fragile care faculity where he came down with RSVP and almost died altho when He recovered from that Thanks to a large part as the Nurses stated to Mama constaintly talking to him .. He was strong enough to have his Heart Surgery alto while recoving from that they had givin himssome anti biotic that resulted in him having to have a trek tube put in … and once again sent him to a fragile Care Unit And no-one Medical or Otherwise noticed that the was a problem building his Intestines which resulted unfortunatly in his death at age 6 1/2 mos.old and then they tried to say that they had no control over him altho we had Papers that proved otherwise …So now again findiiiiing comfort to fill the viod she had meet someone & had yet another Beautiful little Gift from God another Son… who hasn’t seen his Mom since He was 5 mos old He is now 3 yrs old…..
Now she has a new worker who says she can at least get Her back Her Oldest child who has for the past 5 yrs been in a group home which has been playing it’s toll on him now he is a very insecure child who is turning 10 this year.And after Building up heer hope for past several mos now this worker who isn’t her came in & has dashed her hopes & givin her some grim information about Her now becoming emotionaly unstable & don’t think it would be a good Idea for him to be place back with his Mother who has been despertly awaiting his coming home… Which might now happen now if these people have their way
Thank You for Letting Me talk
Cindy Proud Parent & Grandparent…

I represent a group looking to have a permanent impact in this area by passing an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to declare parental rights as fundamental constitutional rights. This would turn everything around in the courts. The government could and would still prosecute cases of actual abuse or neglect, but the burden of proof would fall to the government (e.g. CPS) and not the parents. In other words, even parents in CPS cases would be innocent until proven guilty. The seemingly-unlimited powers of CPS would be severely curtailed, and the rights of parents to decide for themselves how to bring up their children would be upheld. Please visit our website and consider becoming a part of this tremendous effort! We are at parentalrights.org, and I can be emailedwith questions: michael (at) that org address.

i found your website 4 years ago when under attack from cps i am here again under the threats of them being called on me yet again by family members in another state the same ones from the last cps lost fight,4 years ago my daughter now 9 was taken on the false information given by my own sister and her dirty x cop husband.i lost the fight and gave custody to my mother for the last 4 years i have lived in a nightmare i could not wake from only to find that the same people in the case before are at it again making fake calls to cps and i am tired of seeing these scumbags on my door step telling me i am gonna be put in jail if i do not let them in my house with out legal reasons or papers from a judge stating to let them in my house.i have had enough with the corrupt cps system i have a lawyer at the moment that hates cps and he said to never allow them in my home for no reason or allow them to talk to my child at school.the case worker thats on the case hates my x husbands family and stated that do to my name having his last name she has the right to follow me and tap my phone and camp on my door step if she wants to and no one can do or say anything about it.when are the civil rights of parents going to be upheld when are the rights as a mother defended enough to make these jerks go away,i lost last time i wont go without a big ugly state case this time and see to it the case worker looses everything in her job.i am fed up with the removal of children from non abused homes like mine,the cps machine is after my daughter again and i want this crap stopped my lawyer said get on any and all sites like this and tell all on them i live in Texas where cps lets kids die but takes the healthy ones away from their families only to be placed with drunks that threaten to lock them in closets,my daughter went through that with the foster care system in coleman the foster parent was a drunk and was cruel to her and this is all in documented legal papers.what to do now FIGHT CPS AND WIN.

i would never get on here and lie about my nightmare with cps i been through hell trying to fight them off this is a place where i might find incite on how to hold them off and as for cps workers getting on here and reading and trolling for info be warned your not wanted on this site and you have no right to violate our right to speak out against what has happened to us parents of the cps machine,they took my daughter once they wont get her again ill fight till i have nothing left in me,i had a heart attack in cps so called court and almost died,but medical treatment was taken care of fast thanks to the judge making sure the medics where called,i had a nervous break down and i am still fighting the scum cps jerks i hate them with all my being and that is being nice about it they lie they cheat the steal our kids away all based on so called hearsay i was punished for things that never happened and i am still being punished for things that happened to my daughter while in cps custody i am now just after 4 years getting full custody back form my mother only to have my own sister start calling on me again(she wanted my daughter before she was born signed over like a car title to her)when i went against them and fought it the calls started the lies started,they said i neglected my daughters medical needs( i am the one that took her to the ENT and the DENTIST for them things to be cared for not my sister and not cps)but that is in the court case too i am the one that stood against them crusified for being a parent with a child trying to fight against a machine that eats kids like candy then brands the parents for doing as a parent should PROTECTING their child from harm.my daughter has the best of the medical she can have and did then it was my sister that lied and said i did none of the above but there are medical records showing all that was done i was the one that signed them and in court they say i didn’t do any of that what liers they are the judges side with cps and your guilty till never found other wise when against cps and the money machine that they are parents have no rights and they walk all over the legal rights give to you by the so called constitution i had my rights legally walked on and now i am in that fight again.to keep them out of my life they take your rights when you let them in your homes.i know this all too well and i am yet again the bad parent in the fight against them with nothing to prove anything against me like i said i have a lawyer this time that can fight them and win.but that does not stop the hate i have for cps.and in some really bad case i am sure that kids should be removed in justified manners not ripped from homes based on lies and no proof.what i wanna know is when do they have a line that they cant step over and run you in to the ground and when they get to pay for their lies and bull crap they tell.i know my mother helped a lot and my family that was not on the wrong side in court tried their best but the calls have not stopped coming from my sister that hates me and my daughters father we as parents might not be perfect but with any child it is a learning process with being parents.cps case workers that i have now on my ass have no children of their own at all.none so how can they tell me how to be a parent?when they have no kids to raise and care for.and yes when they pull kids from homes they get in the state of Texas about 1500.00 per kid per week for them to be in the system and its all lies they tell you ,they say if you do this you can have your child back then they change it to if you do this and this and this.you never win against that without dragging it out in court while your child is raised by some stranger that might do horrid things to their fragile minds all the while turning them against you as their parent.this has happened to my child brainwashed by my sister that had her in her care now i cry every day case i dont know what to do and i dont want to give up the fight i cant let them win again and take my one and only child from me.in court they made me have parenting classes which i did and passed drug testing that i never failed and mental health courses that i am still going to for my own mental health to deal with the crap they put me through and i get on here and vent it out and i blog my ass off so i dare you cps scum tell me i have no right to feel the way i do to hate you for what you have done my families lives.i hate the way this makes me feel but what chose have i in that.my daughter never sees me cry or up set cause i do not want her to feel any of this is her fault at all cause she never been at fault for anything other then being a kid and thats her fault shes a kid thats all nothing more not some rag doll to be pulled about to be toyed with and hurt and told her parents are crap by a system that is crap.i have read a lot and most of the stories on here and i feel the pain and cry when i read that others suffer from that which i am in again there must be more we can do here and other places on the net to be heard someone has got to see that cps kills people and rips families apart.it is like i said theres gonna be a big huge ugly case against cps in the state of Texas soon wanna join the fight let me know some how and ill pass your info to my lawyer we can get on them and fight together.we stand as one against them we win we fight alone we loose ground.ladyerickson70@yahoo.com if in the state of Texas let me know if you want in on the state fight against cps ill get you to the lawyer

Hello,
I have been reading the guestbook and the prayer request pages since June and everytime I read the postings, I cry.
I want to do something to help reform foster care and to help birth families keep their children who they love.
I would like to start some sort of group to help through education. I want to help families by working to inform them of their rights. I’d like to get billboards, make flyers, write ariticles, etc., that explain the rights that parents have and what to do if cps shows up at your door. I think a lot of foster placements can be prevented if parents can be made aware of their rights before it’s too late.
I also want to work to educate the general public about the atrocities commited by cps, and the need to hold cps responsible for their actions. I feel that if the public was better educated, more people would advocate for the rights of children and families.
Is there anyone that lives in Ohio (I’m in Stark County) that would like to help me strat a group like that?

The link to the the story about changes to the Texas CPS system is fantastic. I am dealing with CPS in Texas. They removed both of my children based on a lie my daughter made up then threatened to take the child I was pregnant with at birth. We never could understand why they took our son too. Thank God that there are finally, slowly changes beginning to emerge.

Hi Fight CPS,
Could you please post this on your website. I am hoping to save myself some gas and travel time across the United States.
Announcement: A national class action lawsuit will commence after September 10th should the adoption incentive be renewed (S 3038). All damaged persons can participate to include extended family, parents and former foster/adopt children. You do not have to be a party to any case to participate. There will be a request for damages. Interested parties should have a vested interest in the children removed and be able to prove a substantial relationship.
Also of extreme interest, is obtaining names/phone/location of CPS workers who are falsifying or have falsified documents in court and who have lied in a court setting. They can sue for government entrapment. The goal is to have case workers sue in all 50 states.
Send the case worker a note that states the following:
Dear ,
It has been brought to my attention that you may have falsified documents with dependency actions. If you have not acted dishonestly in the past and are now pressured by the state to remove and adopt out children in an unethical manner, you are entitled to damages.
It is of paramount concern to our nation that these actions be stopped. If you are interested at any time of participating in a class action lawsuit in your state, please write to washingtonstateextendedfamilies@live.com.
Sincerely,
Jan D. Smith
August 21, 2008
Attention: Distinguished Members of Congress
Notice of legal intent with regards to S 3038
The People herewith declare that the renewal of the Adoption Incentives S 3038 called The Improved Adoption Incentives and Guardianship Support Act does violate the law under the Sherman Anti-trust Act. In addition, funds distributed to the states entrap state workers causing illegal acts not normally performed by said individuals prior to hire.
The People through discovery have found:
1. The imbalance of funding is creating corruption
2. Pathology has filtered through all manner of government and related agencies
3. Judicial decisions violate the public trust
4. Laws are created and passed that give parens patriae unlimited power not provided by the Constitution
5. The paradigm shift that accompanied a monopoly/monopsony strategy of funding extracted from dwindling Social Security is devastating families across America
6. Children’s lives are at stake and are being killed 6-1 over parents per 100, 000
7. That the states are not following guidelines placing with relatives but are screening them out using different criteria with foster families
8. That pockets of tyranny are going unchecked without recourse
9. Congress is not responsive to The People
10. That The People also have compelling interest as an implied term
The People are declaring a public health crisis as a result of these findings and also:
In addition, The People find the Parens Patriae to be more than a doctrine but a specialized position created by the government for the government that violates Article 1 Sec 9, 10: No title of nobility or honour shall be granted by the United States. The title extends to the courts, Children’s Administration and public education violating Amendment 14 depriving persons of life, liberty and property without due process. The position applies as a collective.
The People are ordering a cease and desist of the renewal of S 3038. Should action continue to commence, a nationwide class action lawsuit opposing Parens Patriae and the theft of Social Security to provide the continuing tyranny will be executed.
Signed,

My daughter was taken into foster care at birth in Georgia because I had trace amounts of THC in my system. She is now 16 months old and lives with a socialist psycho who projects herself as foster parent of the year. I have been drug free for over a year. I have submitted to random drug screens, hair follicle tests, three psychological exams, three drug evaluations and been to panel reviews, multiple court appearances. I was forced to take off work so many times that I was fired from my job. My husband and I see our daughter only twice per week for two hour supervised visits. When DFCS worker Nakisha Scott of Bartow County was found in contempt of court for failing to provide services, the progress toward the unsupervised visits we were told we were about to receive suddenly halted. There are so many mistakes and lies in this case I question whether or not Bartow County DFCS is not being paid to prolong this case so that the very wealthy foster mother, Belinda Jenkins, can adopt my beautiful daughter. This system is so increasingly corrupt that I am disgusted and terrified as to how this will affect my baby. The foster mother told me yesterday that Sicily looks at me no differently than a day care worker. She is crazy. My daughter calls me Mommy and my husband Daddy and any confusion in this area is because she has tried to steal my baby rather than do a foster parents job. THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A PLACE FOR LONELY AND INSECURE WOMEN TO SHOP FOR BABIES!! And that is exactly what it has become. Mothers beware.

I work with CPS and this is what I know
CPS does not have any right to enter you house with out your consent, we do however have the right to go to you child’s school and interview them. We are required to notify you with in 24 hours of the interview.
If you do not want CPS in your home just say so. If CPS refuses to leave call the police don’t say one word don’t answer any questions. Remember that CPS has the right to get an Order to Participate, which requires your family to allow CPS in your home and interview your children. This Order takes a while to get from the judge, do not let them
I understand that there are many problems with the system. And there are a lot of problems with CPS. The system is not perfect and many times it is unjust. I am sorry for your suffering I know that it can be difficult. The problem is not JUST CPS it is the judges that allow the children to stay out of the home. I can not being to tell you how many times the CPS worker disagrees with the Judge. There are many times where the CPS worker wants to return the children to the family but the Judge will not allow it, there are also many times where the worker feels that the child should not be returned but the Judge returns the children.
I know that there are corrupt CPS workers that will try to manipulate the family. All I can tell you is know your rights! And remember CPS works with CIVIL matters and not CRIMINAL, we do not have the same restrictions as criminal. We are not required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt only preponderance of the evidence, this makes a big difference.
I feel bad for the things that you are put through, however I am working for CPS to make a difference and I treat all my clients with respect. I know that all workers do not do this and I feel ashamed for their actions.
I am unaware of CPS investigators getting paid for taking children in to foster care. The people I have talked to do NOT want to take children into care. Maybe other CPS workers get paid for it but not investigators. Foster care parents do get paid and some foster care parents abuse the system to get money however foster care parents are not the ones that decide whether or not your child gets taken into care.
There are plenty of children we are not having trouble finding them! There is actually an over abundance of children! The world is overpopulated.
I was looking for this website in order to get a better idea on your feeling about CPS so that I would better serve the families, and so I am able to address some of the questions that may come up in later investigations.
I also want to say that every state is different, so the things that I have said here may not apply in other states.
Lastly CPS is not the only corrupt agency! There are every where! Try to change the system, it is important when the people of our government get involved and try and make changes, please don’t sit around complaining about how unfair the system is and not stand up for your rights.
Comment by Jen — August 28, 2008 @ 2:05 pm
I got this blog from the AFRA website. It is written by President Leonard Hendersen. This pretty much sums up my feelings, and probably the feelings of other victims of CPS. BTW, I DID go to DC 2 years in a row now!
MY WISH LIST IF I HAD THE JOB-
Just imagine being able to fire whole office-fulls of evil people. Charge them with Federal Capital Crimes. Direct any good ones to drop false allegations like a lead potato.
Any real cases, Kinship First with no hassles.
REMOVE THE ALLEGED PERPETRATOR. Let the KIDS “be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects” as their FOURTH Amendment Right.
Provide real SERVICES. Shit-can the ridiculous parenting classes and piss tests for people who do not have drug problems to begin with.
Establish an agency culture of SERVICE, courtesy and respect. Be decent human beings. Shit-can the Satan Worshipers and Rabid Man Haters.
Hire only people who ARE PARENTS. No single, unmarried or person of “alternate lifestyle”.
Psych Exams for the CPS employees, Psych Examiners, Judges, Lawyers.
Ban Psych Exams for people, since they are UNCONSTITUTIONAL and a FRAUD anyway.
Stop the FRAUD, scams, lying, coercion.
Establish what MORALS are, and what ETHICS are (certainly NOT “situational”)
Teach CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and why agents who are out to enter into AMERICAN HOMES had sure better get SEARCH WARRANTS specific to what the alleged CRIME is.
On that subject, investigate CRIMES ONLY. No fishing expeditions, liberal interpretation of what an INFRACTION might be.
DEFINE what a DIRTY HOUSE IS. Is there even a law?
How many cats is OK? Dogs?
Bring COMMON SENSE, compassion, understanding, and patience to SOCIAL WORK.
Being a Christian is OK! Spanking is OK!
NO DIAGNOSING “mental illnesses”.
No Unauthorized Practice of Law by threatening people with TPR to get them to “volunteer” to waive their Constitutional RIGHTS!
FOR MOST CASES, KEEP THE COPS AND THE COURTS OUT OF IT! They are a completely unnecessary over-lay on HELPING PEOPLE. Cops and courts are for Fascists, not Social Work. If you don’t know the difference, get a job you are suitable for, like cleaning toilets.
REAL CASES where there are REAL CRIMES, treat them as such, not as pretended mental illnesses that need “therapy”. Quit the THREE RING CIRCUS and Sleight of Hand stunts.
Real Crimes ARE what cops and courts are for, not Social Work.
TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY VOLUNTEER FOR “SERVICES” or SIGNING A “VOLUNTARY SAFETY PLAN”.
TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY WAIVE THEIR FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND LET YOU IN THE HOUSE.
TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY WAIVE THEIR FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND TALK WITH YOU.
STOP THE SOAP OPERA. STOP THE CHARGE PILING. STOP THE GANGING UP ON THE “CONSUMER”.
The GOAL is ALWAYS REUNIFICATION. The goal is to NEVER create a LEGAL ORPHAN unless the parents REALLY ARE real bad eggs.
The goal is NEVER to supply adopters, foster homes, or keeping the Residential Treatment beds full.
Recreational drug use and social drinking is NOT necessarily child abuse.
Being POOR is NOT NEGLECT. Provide SERVICES, not kidnap the kids.
Just because people get insulted or mad about an allegation does NOT mean they are GUILTY.
Just because people get mad at YOU does not mean they have committed “Contempt of CPS worker” and they don’t deserve retribution for it. YOU are the one who is FAILING TO COMMUNICATE PROFESSIONALLY.
Understand what people are going through. Don’t expect them to act like a professional who has lost his fountain pen.
If somebody makes an allegation, INVESTIGATE THEM FIRST to see if they have an ulterior motive.
Slapping a misbehaving child’s hands or swatting their bottom in a grocery store is NOT child abuse, and anybody who reports is should be told to mind their own business and charged with malicious false reporting.
If you find exonerating evidence, you INCLUDE IT in the case file, not hide it or shred it.
YOU ARE NOT GOD. YOU DON’T KNOW IT ALL. If you are CHILDLESS, you KNOW NOTHING. Remember that and conduct yourself accordingly.
Your “consumers” MAY know a hell of a lot more about child rearing than YOU. Conduct yourself accordingly. You could LEARN SOMETHING.
SPOILED ROTTEN BRATS are SPOILED ROTTEN BRATS. They are NOT “mentally ill”, they do NOT have a “behavior disorder”. They do NOT need to be doped out of their heads. They need their little asses warmed to a cherry red. The “behavior disorder” will go away. Guaranteed.
If you think a red welt or small, shallow bruises from spanking are abuse, YOU need red welts and bruises on YOUR ASS because YOU MISSED OUT on them when you were a kid. You Brat!
A ROTTEN THUG TEENAGER is a ROTTEN THUG TEENAGER. They do NOT need enablement from YOU. They are NOT “mentally ill”. They do NOT have a “behavior disorder”. They do NOT need dope. They need a Wilderness Experience, Boot Camp, or a summer helping in an institution for the severely disabled or CANCER WARDS for children and teens to learn COMPASSION and gratitude and respect for themselves and others. Self Esteem is THE PROBLEM, not the “cure”.
Order a review of every case since 1974-
Exonerate every mal-prosecuted case,

Hello,
I am still trying to get over the fact that I lost my grandchildren to their foster Mom who is now going to adopt them. What type of foster Mom would fight to adopt children who have loving family members who want them? I know all foster moms are not bad. I just can’t understand it. What kind of foster mom would change her telephone number and refuse to allow the children to have contact with their natural family when a psychiatrist says that it would be in the best interest of the child for them to have contact with their natural family.
What do I do if I feel that a mark on one of my grandchildren I reported and was told “you’re only pointing that out because we want let you have the children?”

Jean, some states have statutes for grandparent visitation even after a child is adopted. Please look into your state’s statutes on this matter. It may be a way for you to petition the court for visits.
It’s a tough hurdle when social services is involved but it may be worth a shot.
Good luck to you.

I dont understand why so many grandparents make it so easy for CPS to take thier grandchildren away forever by calling them or ‘asking for thier help’? Why would CPS be of any help to anyone? How can you rat your children/ children-in-laws out like that? Just because you have issues with them you have to put your grandchildren through the worst types of suffering any child could ever go through? If you are upset with your children/ children-in-laws, please stop and think before you do anything foolish and stupid like calling CPS. You may never see your grandchildren again and you could ruin and distroy thier childhood and life permanently and break your family apart. The only situation I could think of that calling CPS would be a smart idea is when the children are getting badly physically or sexually hurt. Spanking is badly damaging? I’ve heard from social workers themselves that spanking kids is ok as long as you dont physically bruise them, but CPS wouldnt hesitate to take the children away anyway becuase they just want more children! Instead of calling CPS for stupid reasons why dont you try talking to your grandkid’s parents and refer them to support groups, counseling, parenting classes etc. Talk to them in a friendly concerened manner. Offer to watch the kids more if they show you proof of going to counselling, classes, groups etc. And if they refuse, dont offer your services as a babysitter to them, unless you think they will leave the kids unattended or lose thier source of income (job) as a result. Its ok, a little tough love doesnt hurt, calling CPS does. It’s ok to help your adult children, after all, what is family all about? Your grandchildren’s parents will give in to ‘fixing’ themselves sooner or later. Dont give up. They need someone’s help, they dont need thier children to be ripped away..God bless.

I am looking for parents who have concerens or suspicions about what was done to thier children in children’s shelters that they were placed in by cps and the way they were treated there. Also any parents who believe thier children were placed in foster homes that are unfit or dangerous to thier children. I especially want to know if thier are any parents who know of mystery injections given to thier children in the children’s shelters, rapid and abnormal weight gain, overeating, and/or early puberty signs after being put in a children’s shelter by cps. I have heard from a child that was put there of mistreatment and even abuse to the children in the shelter by employees and supervisors there. And I highly suspect they give children steroids to make them gain weight fast causing very bad hormone imbalances, becomming overweight, health issues and early puberty. The shelter is making it impossible to get medical history and documents at the shelter. No child should go to school with heavy bleeding and period cramps and age 9 because of someone altering thier body. We need justice for our children.

I need to find a lawyer to help my daughter fight cps in honolulu hi. Her children were taken 8/10/08 we have no clue on what to do.. how to do this we have been reading alot.. but my daughter really needs help with this I live in Ca. we do not have much money but i will get it just someone please help.
Comment by Michelle — September 1, 2008 @ 1:06 pm
Depending on the reason the kids were taken, she needs to do whatever cps want her to do. If her huband/boyfriend/partner is the reason (abuse), she needs to leave him immediately and cut all relations with him through divorce and living away from him. If drug abuse is the reason, she needs to admit herself into a rehab center. I think there’s a way to place the kids with you but im not sure how, you need to call legal proffetionals. She will need to keep her home very clean and safe and there needs to be a room for the kids ONLY, she could sleep on the couch if she has to. She needs to lock all detergents and medications away and make sure the home is safe from electric hazards. She needs to make sure there is food in her home. She needs to calm down and be nice with cps agents or people working with them. She needs to show up to all the appointments she’s asked for to go to on time such as court dates, child visitations and social worker appointments. She needs to mention at court that she cannot afford a private attorny and request a legal advocate through the court. It’s a free service for people with low income. She should never sign any papers before asking her legal advocate. She should have the legal advocate’s phone number and all case related phone numbers on her cell phone. She needs to be a ‘perfect mother’ to get her kids back. She needs to do any suggestions or requirement by the social/case worker or advocate such as taking parenting classes, going to councelling etc.
Finally, I hope you and your daughter get through this and get your precious grandchildren back in thier home. Good luck.

this is on the other side of how cps is working. this little girls parents are both drug users and unable to care for the child. she was abused at 4 1/2 months old and that is why she was taken into custody and placed in our home. my husband and i fostered a little girl from the time she was 5 months old. on july 15th, child advocate and also cps decided to take this little girl out of our home and send her to another foster home. there was no abuse or any kind of neglect at all. they were not allowed to remove her without a court order but they did it anyway. the finally hearing was just this past week and parental rights were voluntarily given up by the parents. now, explain to me why cps didn’t tell the judge that the home she is in is the 2nd foster home. why didn’t cps/child advocate/and the childs lawyer tell the judge or mention that the home she is currently in is the 2nd foster home? my husband has told me that several lawyers have told him he can fight this and get the little girl back into our home. we were hoping to adopt her. any advice would be helpful

cw34, I am so sorry to hear what happened to you. I hope you can get your little baby back.. It is so unfair and unjustified what cps had done to you, and the little girl. Best of luck.

Linda ,
what if alot of this info was not available in 1999.and my parental rights were terminated,due to not knowing my rights .my new born is now eight yrs old.i have not seen her .the only thing they had on me was the fact i pissed off a nurse in the hosp so they used mental case or
whatever terms they use.the final eval from the psychologist or thier Dr.was a good eval.but they did not bring that up in court.i also had a family member in the system with the same last name,accused of molesting his daughter,they said he he used my address at one time he was incarcerated at the time .i want to tell so much but i know this is just a comment post.is it to late to revisit my case?and do i have to wait until my baby is eighteen before we can tell her the truth?she was new born

Maggie - As far as I know, your statute of limitations ran out years before this. There may be some exceptions if new evidence before-unknown to you surfaces. You would have to see a lawyer to discuss this. I’m not a lawyer… mainly I’m just a website owner who has been trained as a paralegal and who is entirely on your side and hoping you can find the answers you need to be reunited with your child. (((Hugs))) and all the best to you. - Linda, owner of FightCPS.Com

I live in Hancock county Maine. This county has the highest rateing in the whole state for baby stealing. August 29th CPS, stole my granddaughter who was 6 weeks old because her father and his brother allegedly had some sibiling rilvary issues. These issues never happened and the baby wasn’t even there when they supposedly did. CPS went on a phone call from my ex husband, and took the baby and placed her in a foster home. I have not seen her since.
