Child Protective Services laws and agencies are abusive to families and children. This site provides support and information to parents falsely accused of child abuse by Child Protective Services.
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.
Child Protective Services, CPS, has devastated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in America during the last thirty years leaving a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams, and shattered childhoods.
Rather than helping families, government agents have used unconstitutional laws in Juvenile Court to rip children away from their loving parents, break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds, and adopt the children of the grieving out to others who profit financially with large monthly adoption subsidy payments.
Child Protective Services must be stopped! The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed. We must work tirelessly to inform the public of this very dangerous travesty of justice. We must keep faith knowing that if there is a God, there is an answer and a way to end this heartache.
Child Protective Services Agents - please come to your senses! Family destruction on false or trivial grounds is wrong, reprehensible, and inhumane.
Fosterers - be aware that for the money you get you are holding much-loved children away from their grieving families while the parents are forced to perform a service plan that is anything but a service to them. I call this hostage holding for the government. This is not kindness - to help misguided government agents destroy family relationships and break loving bonds.
CPS workers and fosterers - I ask that you now let the children of the innocent return to their homes where they are truly valued, adored, and loved by the parents God gave them.
Family rights are God-given rights. And they should not be ignored or postponed. Every moment these loving parents and children spend separated from one another is a torment beyond what anyone should ever have to bear.
It is unworthy of human dignity to allow this terrorism and torture of families to go on without saying something, speaking out, and trying to make a change.
Site mission: To provide information and support for families attacked by Child Protective Services and child welfare agents, especially those families facing false or trivial accusations of child abuse or neglect; and for researchers working to protect natural family rights.
In her speech Nancy stated that a CPS social worker detained her child, not because Sabrina was in any immediate danger, but because she was miffed that the Heys wanted to consult an attorney before allowing any further intrusions against their privacy.
Sabrina was born on April 3, 2005 and detained at the age of only twenty-two days; the reason given was ‘failure to thrive’ although she was under doctor’s care and eight pounds at the time. Later Sabrina’s mother was accused of having a learning disability that would interfere with parenting, but when I see Nancy Hey on video reading her statement, and on Gather.Com writing articles, I can’t see that there’s any evidence of her being handicapped to the extent that parenting wouldn’t be possible.
This looks like a clear-cut case of injustice, and I hope everyone here will join me in prayers, good wishes, vibrations, energy, or whatever you can give, for this persecuted, wrongfully attacked family. The case is currently being appealed and all visitations have been cut off.

[Update: Today I found this link: Child Snatcher Judge - with a photo of the couple little Sabrina was given to. Apparently they had their own baby and Sabrina may be neglected in favor of the natural child.]
On Friday, December 19, Arkansas legislators listened to the grievances of grandparents seeking visitation with children whose parents lost parental rights in TPR hearings. State employees attended the meeting to inform relatives they can file a petition requesting visitation.
The article doesn’t explain how this is done; it sounds like they were advised to take the matter back to court. I hope this works and would like to hear from any relative that has gone to court for visitation of a child after TPR – especially if the petition was granted!
I’d like to thank Marina, one of the moderators on our message board forum, for posting about this article in the “In The News” section of the message board. She’s done a wonderful job, keeping us informed about CPS news and much more. I found this article on the message board earlier today. Thank you so much, Marina!
A hearing on December 18, 2008 informed Connecticut state legislators of DCF injustice and cruelty to families. One participant, an out-of-state aunt, told legislators that family members were denied kinship care rights because the court ruled they had no bond with the child, a girl now totally separated from her natural family. Many others came forward to tell legislators their stories of injustice, trauma and distress at the hands of DCF caseworkers.
According to the article written by Arielle Levin Becker, State Representative Toni Walker, a Democrat from New Haven, wept and said, “We as a state have failed miserably in this situation.” One hundred and thirty eight people signed up to testify at this hearing, the last hearing of four, and apparently the only hearing allowing the public to testify. People spoke out about rude DCF social workers and unjust family devastation practices.
The hearings were scheduled in response to the death of an infant in foster care last May.
I know several of you have important petitions out there now and I hope you’ll mention them (with links) in the comments to this post. Here’s one I found out about in email tonight. This one is from the Wheatons – the couple organizing a class action lawsuit. – ljm
Petition to CPS/DPSS – CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (RIVERSIDE, CA) FOR KIDNAPPING OUR CHILDREN WITHOUT CAUSE
“We are organizing a class action lawsuit against the County of Riverside, the State of California, all states, and the Nation, and all parties involved in unlawfully detaining and holding our children against our will, and without cause. We have documented the deep, imbedded corruption in the social services agencies nationwide. We have filed three lawsuits so far, and are looking for other families who have also been annihilated by this evil.Email us at FightCPScalifornia@gmail.com or go to the link at http://www.fightcps.com/ to join the fight to save our children.”
The couple in this video said they became foster-adoptive parents so they could help needy children. But soon they were confronted with evidence that children are often not taken from their parents because of true abuse or neglect, but because CPS bureaucrats tend to over-react in order to get children into the foster care system. When a child is placed in foster care, the federal funding streams start, and that’s what CPS administrators want so they can strengthen their jobs and their departments with money from federal resources including the Social Security Fund.
I appreciate that the Gates family allowed their plight to be televised. The Central Index blacklists in every state should be declared unconstitutional. Too many people are listed – not on the basis of what they have done to harm children, but simply on the basis of CPS caseworker opinions. Most of the people listed on the Central Index blacklists have never been criminally charged or convicted of any kind of child abuse or neglect.
This video was posted to YouTube by Shanklinmike who posts videos about the Libertarian Party, individualism, & economic freedom. I recommend his videos to all of you. I just found this video this morning, and now I’m one of his subscribers!
