DCF in Connecticut has refused to help me protect my son from being sexualy abused by his father. After 7 months, I am still trying to get help. My son’s therapist and an ACS case worker in New York both interviewed my son and have tried to get help for me in the state I live in. My son has not been recorded or video taped. The judge has only been given a report stating unsubstainiated. The case worker never spoke to my son or the theapist, but could write a report claiming unsubstainiated. Please advise…Susan

Maryann… I don’t know what you can do at this point. If I were you, I’d be making appointments for free consultations with lawyers outside my county whose specialties are constitutional rights and/or legal malpractice.

I’m terribly sorry this happened to you! My website is geared to help mainly people whose cases are fairly new, but recently I read a comment from someone who said her children were away for six or seven years, and then she got them back, and that this site helped her, even after all that time! I think that’s highly unusual for a case to extend that long with a positive ending, but it was encouraging to read that comment! In most cases it is impossible to get a child back after a TPR hearing, but in this case you were tricked and coerced to sign papers, so maybe there’s hope, and you should keep trying.

You might want to register at our message board. There are some awesome advocates there who may be able to give you a variety of ideas on how to proceed. Have you tried rescinding your signature? You really need an attorney’s guidance, and if the first one doesn’t want to try, keep looking.

Its bad enough when you can’t protect yourself from dcf workers? But how about when your own lawyer does it, I had a court case pending and I did everything dcf wanted. But from the begining my lawyer or public defender, ignored all my phone calls, told me that she was sick of me that I should of retained a real lawyer. Eventually she got together with the baby’s lawyer and they, along with the dcf worker bullied, manipulated and tricked me into signing my rights away. What can I do? Its not fair!

Workers would love to have interviews taped & auto transcribed. We are parents to and we are not all bad just like all parents are not bad or abusers. I love the the people and kids I meet and help daily. I was a kid who needed cps there are kids and families that need help.

Anyone who has had their children falsely investigated or taken away: We need to get together and take this to the legislature, newspapers, or anyone else to try to stop these people. We are going through this now. Please call me at (860)417-0076 anytime or email me at ecmobaby-at-hotmail.com.

Jane, any information that is computerized would probably be at the fingertips of the DCF workers in your state. This is the first I’ve heard that CPS workers could get involved with a family just because the family is using state insurance.

My cousins wife is a DCF worker and I do not get along with her so I am wondering if I were ever to be put in the system can she access my personal info since we have the same last name.. or can she make life hell for me? I did have a bad experince w/ these people when I lived in CT 1st when I was in middle school my neighbor had called and made up lies the dcf didnt know who was telling the truth so they opened a case that was suposed to have been closed 3 months afterwards, now it has been over 10 years and during my pregnancy DCF was able to get involved do to my state insurance but they brought up the case that happened over 10 years ago..isnt that illegal or harassment? I no longer use state insurance because there are a lot of free things they forget to menchion like the extreamly high ratio of state workers being paid off on the tax payers $$ “Lets take everyones kids away because we get comission maybe even a christmas bonus” but you dont ever hear about a dcf workers kids in foster care, I think we all know why.

My first-born daughter was cruelly taken from me at birth. The DCF social worker is heartless and inconsiderate. She has no kids herself. Why would the organization like that have the social workers that have no kids and any compassion or respect for the parents they deal with/
I wrothe the letter to DCF in Hartford, but i got no response.

They have been under Federal oversight for 10 years?? I would hate to see them without it. They lie, lie, lie. Anthony Gay of Waterbury DCF told me my kids would go easy because they are white (he is black). It does not get more corrupt than that. How on earth do people like this sleep with themselves at night. They are truly demonic people trying to earn the state money. They are corrupt from the top down. Surely all the people on the blogs cannot be claiming the lie without some truth. Prosecute the all

I recently started a petition to make it mandatory the all DCF investigators record there interviews and all other conversations dealing with a case. My reason for this is because, all over the U.S. there are DCF investigators who do not trying to seek the truth. There is no official way to document the information acquired by these case workers other then what they “write down” which is not always the truth and is sometimes exaggerated in order to win. Please help me put a stop to this unorthodox behavior by signing this petition. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/DCFunfair

Thank you and God bless!
