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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

Fighting Child Protective Services False Accusations
October 13, 2008
I’m reading through your recent comments tonight. Only 51 left to go. I’m thrilled to read about Susan’s upcoming appearance on the Dr. Phil show. At the same time my heart is breaking along with yours when I read the sad stories of families being ripped apart. I’m also feeling gratitude at the many comments posted here to help others who are suffering.
As I read, I think about articles I should write. So many questions need to be answered. So many hearts need comfort. Laws need to be explained, along with court procedures and documents. Parents need to be warned about the deceitful ways of CPS agencies. Teachers and other mandated reporters need to be informed that when they call CPS, they are potentially putting children’s lives and happiness in danger.
Where should I start? What needs are the most important? Will you give me your opinions? Can you offer ways in which you could help? I am always open to getting new ideas and new projects started.

This site is awesome! I hope the dr. Phil show materializes! I haven’t talked to the producer since last Friday or had any e-mails from them since. He did say it’s a good story. Maybe the Dr. Phil show takes longer to get a story together. I was on Leeza Gibbons in 1999 for an article I wrote that got published in “Time”. It was about girls and violence, since I wrote it after Columbine. They edited out what I said, but at least it was a free trip to L.A. & a nice hotel!

I think the best way to get the news out about CPS is to write stories about alternate subjects and work your way into the way it unfolded and the way CPS is destroying lives

You know that I lean toward legal issues!
You do a wonderful job, Linda. Thank you for creating and maintaining this site.

Linda,
I’m retired and have a ton of time at my disposal.
I’ve been “disliking” CPS for the last 20 years and would do all that I can to help.
This is a fight worth fighting, so count me in. What can I do to help?
Contact me anytime……I’m here!

I am a mother who had her children ripped away from her. I tried for four years to have my children home with me. My aunt was given custody of my son (she could not have children so she stold mine) and my daughter was placed in foster care and is still there. I have my own home, I am a full-time sophmore in college and have anything and everything a kid could need (including my newest addition, my daughter) but CPS still refuses to call me back and will not contact me so I know what is going on with my child. Because my aunt couldn’t have children and she wanted mine she got him and they figured if they gave one child back they would have to give the other one back and that was not going to happen, all because my aunt and her husband were millinaires and had all the money in the world. Well, he recently filed for divorce and I don’t know if it is final yet but when the suckered me into the “Guardianship” (because they said if I didn’t agree I would get nothing at all) I made sure that my son was to know who me and my husband (his father) were his parents and that he was to be told his sister (who he was raised with) was his sister and that he had other siblings. Well, when I called about a month ago, to request visits (because they said he would have to go threw alot of counsling to know we were his parents and that he had siblings, before we could receive visits again) the guardian at litem who is also very close with my aunt said she wasn’t sure the visits were even valid. And when questioned about the counseling she stated he had went once. Once in two years! We gave them alot of time and they screwed us. We would call every month for visits and were told he wasn’t ready by my aunt. When she wasn’t even bringing him to counseling at all, and the guardian at litem is on their side. I hate CPS. They do nothing but rip families apart. And the public pretenders here in Bellingham, WA do nothing for you. I think you should put more info regarding guardianship orders and more legal stuff regarding how they can keep a child from you when you have current and have had custody of a child for four years (since birth) and they could still hold your other child from you and try to adopt her out to family instead of just giving her back to her family? I don’t know much about the law but would love to find out as much as I can. That would be great! Thank you for all to do help with, you are greatly appreciated.

I have a question as well. I am a single mother of 1 child and I just got done battling with CPS to keep my son. CPS in my case had coerced, deceived, and broken confidentiality on multiple occasions. They told me that I couldn’t be shown the evidence because there wasn’t any it was just what that investigator thought to be true. They took my son on hearsay and broke there own laws all over the place leavening my whole family who was involved emotionally damaged my son now screams if I leave the room. I don’t have any money and I am going to school to become a teacher but will not be able to now. How do I fight to get this removed from my record (I don’t have the money to pay a lawyer and can’t find a pro bono lawyer)? I think CPS needs to answer to the law it seems as though they think themselves to be higher then the law.

Thanks everyone for responding and letting me know what your needs are (Jessica)…
Jacque… I just asked someone to write an article about how to remove your name from the central index…
If you’re still within the statute of limitations you might want to explore the idea of suing the county and social workers in federal court on grounds of violations of constitutional law. On the other hand, if you just want peace in your life, you might prefer to drop it and count your blessings.

Linda:
You know I lean toward folks networking within their OWN STATES AND BANDING TOGETHER TO CHALLENGE CPS.
To that end, I would encourage you to add another main story on useful sites within the US states.
About half of the states have folks who volunteer their time to assist families.
Best to you. F.
Comment by Fern — October 19, 2008 @ 8:16 am
I agree with going it state by state as the laws sometimes differ.

Liberty Quilt
Current mood: catalyzed
Category: News and Politics
As a child growing up in a society that wanted to ignore AIDS I saw such courage in a child named Ryan White. After his family announced that he had received the disease from a blood transfusion he was forever the face of an innocent person infected by accident. I remember when he died. He gave the world such hope and forced people to change their view on the disease.
I remember that there have been many AIDS quilts because the sizes of them had become too unmanageable to just have one. I remember the quilt being unfurled on the monument lawn. Each 1 foot-by-1 foot square equals a life. The quilt made congress listen and help find ways to protect AIDS victims, to see the vicitms as people, to see the families affected. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know someone with HIV or AIDS.
Now the life expectancy of an HIV positive person is decades, not 5 years. Treatments have come so far in preventing the spread of the disease because Congress was forced to acknowledge it.
Today we fight a similar disease, one that doesn’t affect individual cells one person at a time. Instead CPS and the family court system infect thousands of families a year. The awareness of the issue hasn’t been made strong enough. I think it’s time to resurrect the quilt idea.
IF EVERY FAMILY AFFECTED BY CPS OR THE FAMILY JUDICIAL SYSTEM SUBMITTED A 1 FOOT-BY-1 FOOT PIECE OF FABRIC THAT COULD BE SEWN TOGETHER WE WOULD HAVE A TANGABLE VISUAL TO UNVEIL AT SUCH EVENTS AS THE DC FESTIVAL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SUCH A QUILT BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. THE SAD THING IS THAT I KNOW THERE ARE ENOUGH FAMILIES AFFECTED THAT THIS COULD BE DONE.
I would be willing to take the peices and sew them together. They don’t have to be perfect. They don’t have to be padded. Just 1 family per square, list the names or a symbol that represents your family. Perhaps I could put together a book of explanation, a page for each square.
Anyone interested? contact me.
Comment by Char — October 19, 2008 @ 11:54 am
Char-
Perhaps 2 inches square as there are sooo many families affected, at 1 foot square, this quilt would far surpase the AIDS quilt size.
Especially gieven the numerous CPS abuse websites used. Grandsplace, this one, kidjacked, etc.
Comment by Cheryl — October 23, 2008 @ 12:38 pm
I wonder what happened to the quilt that was made back in 2000-2001… I still have a photo of the square that was made for my daughter.
Comment by Linda — October 24, 2008 @ 3:01 pm
2 inches might work, but a family doesn’t fit in 2 inches. Statistically though, I could get started on it that way. Then adding an identifier to each piece. The biggest thing for me is that we show each square is a unique family.
