Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.

Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.









Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.

Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.

Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.

CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.

Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.

It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.

Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.

  1. 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?

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

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

    lindbloom_jm@yahoo.com or write to me.

    PO Box 44162 Tacoma WA 98448-0162

    I can also be reached on my cell at 253-212-6978 or leave a message at 253-232-4741

    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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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!!

  12. 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!

  13. 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!

  14. 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?

  15. 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 ?

  16. 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.

  17. 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.
    This was done by the san mateo county CPS redwood city office

  20. 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.

  21. 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…

  23. 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




  24. 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




  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. 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.

  31. 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..

  33. 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!

  34. 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!

  35. 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,

  36. 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.

    Charity’s Medical Problems, November 13 and 15, 2003
    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….”;

    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
