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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

Fighting Child Protective Services False Accusations
May 10, 2009
I received this email from Greg Smart of “No More Family InJustice”. He is working to build a nationwide organization for victims of CPS false accusations.
“No more Family InJustice” is a non-profit organization originating out of San Diego, CA. We currently have chapters formed in 5 states with contacts in 18 states.
In my experience thus far, the main reason nothing is getting done in this war against cps is because every new group is wanting to do things their way and the legal system sits back and laughs. I’ve watched groups fall apart because they could not agree on a plan of action. Because of this, children are being violated and families are being torn apart by cps in violation of the CAPTA and ASFA ACTS put in motion by the federal government.
“No more Family InJustice” is moving forward with our plans to build a single national organization to fight the CPS corruption. We would like to include every individual and group/organization dedicated to “the cause” Other organizations can choose to remain autonomous and still be part of our organization. Even other national organizations can join forces with us.
The first step in our business model is for us to build an accurate list of those wishing to be part of what will soon be the largest national organization dedicated exclusively to fighting cps corruption.
THOSE WISHING TO PARTICIPATE SHOULD EMAIL AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO cpsvictim@gmail.com
NAME
EMAIL ADDRESS
CITY, STATE
PHONE # (optional)
Organizations wishing to participate should send either a list of contact information as described above for all group members or a main contact for the group that will disseminate the information to all group members. We prefer a list of all members in an effort to centralize the database so down the road action items will be received by all without delay.
Information will never be shared or sold nor will it be used to send span, junk or off topic email.
As anyone who has gone through the horror of CPS will tell you, The only way to end the corruption of CPS is at the national level. This is a numbers game. Until we have the strength of “numbers” we do not have a voice. Lets all band together and make a real impact!

Spunky,
Can you e-mail me privately? E-mail Linda and she will give you my e-mail address.
What are the accusations against you?
Where are you in your case?
How long has this been going on?
Most importantly……….DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING!
Comment by Diando — May 13, 2009 @ 3:22 pm
DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CLASSES! They make money from the classes and that is what reels you in..
Do not be intimidated by them.. They do not have the legal right to take your children or make you sign anything without a Judges signature..
The papers that they will show you, will have a stamp.. It is their Office Depot filed stamp.. For about 3 bucks you can buy one too…
What state are you in?
Comment by Diando — May 13, 2009 @ 3:24 pm
Record all conversations and preferably video tape them as well.. Follow up every meeting and conversation with a fax and get a fax confirmation.. Have a box on the fax and or letter for them to check if that is the way the conversation went or not..
They will twist and turn every single word you say..
If you tell them you are tired they will state that you have been up doing drugs all night and are too tired to care for your babies.. That is the way they work.
If you tell them you did coke 20yrs ago they will put in their report that you have been doing coke for 20 yrs.
Do you see what I am saying?

Omani’s Story-Another Victum of Solano County Child Protection Services http://www.omanibrown.blogspot.com
This blog is about one man’s quest to stop the corruption in the Child Protection Agencies. He was caught up in this systematically corrupted instituion when his daughter was abducted for profit. This blog is dedicated to organize a march on our state capitol in an effort to repeal the laws which govern these unconstitional acts of abduction.
Taking Omani’s Story to Sacramento
For all of the parents who have been attacked by the Child Protective Services, especially child welfare agents, we would like for you to participate with us in the MILLION FAMILY MARCH ON SACRAMENTO. Our goal is to organize as many families as we can to march on Sacramento and present our legislation with a petition to repeal the current laws that protect these child abductors.
If you have been victimized, Please join us and fight back. You have help now; if it is only a small party of us we will march forward. Someone has to take a stand; you don’t have to be afraid any more, you are no longer alone. Our goal is to use our voices to speak out against the injustices that occur everyday when civil rights are violated all for the sake of the money. Worse than your civil rights being violated are the dehumanizing effects on families from their corrupted system.
Please go to http://www.fightcps.com to find out the many reasons why the states are eager to deprive you of your children even though many where not neglected or abused. There is also funding that the counties get when they put your children in foster care. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW TO STOP THIS MADNESS, IF WE DON’T FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN WHO WILL?
http://WWW.fightcps.com has revealed that Children 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 a sunder 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.

I would love help form the CPS. They are accusing my husband as being a child abuser and spouce abuser becase of an accident that had happend while they were outside wrestling around. My son wasnt even hurt, but someone said something and they jumped on it and now he isnt even allowed to see the kids or me. It is hard to deal with. I would love to have someone to help me. Our attorneys are not helping much at all…..Even just someone to talk to that could give me insite as to what to do next or what is going to happen or what ever…

My children were taken from me a second time, they are pressuring me with WIC300 petition, has anyone can out of this with their children?
Comment by Ginamarie — May 25, 2009 @ 5:14 am
Three years ago CPS and a corrupt cop destroyed our family, framed my husband, and set the stage for the constitutional abuse of the legal system that followed. My husband is now incarcerated based on false charges, while the real child sex offender, who confessed and took a guilty plea, STILL LIVES NEXT DOOR! The judge won’t make him move so my daughter can come home, so am fixing to go to the media at this point. There is way too much corruption in this country (the corruption in my city/county is also nationally known). Because of our experiences people have told me to write a book - so perhaps it’s time.
Comment by Sharon Cornet — May 25, 2009 @ 9:36 am
It is my plea from the bottom of my heart that you read this letter
completely through and offer what help you can in the situation. I pray that
you do not overlook any of the evidence and that if need be you will pull
the transcripts of all of the involved court cases to see that an injustice
has been done and covered up as well by some very important persons in
charge of the courts and records of the courts of the COUNTY OF LAMAR. I
hope that you will find a urgent need to assist me in the regaining of the
custody of my child and that you will also find it necessary to prosecute
those who have failed our justice system and the rights of a newborn child
and her mother.
My son is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I miss him dearly.
There are few children who have ever been cared for as much and loved as
much as I love MJ. This is the time in his life that we should be bonding
and spending every waking minute together not dealing with separation and
heartbreak. This whole happening has devastated my life and I am more than
sure that it will have a detrimental impact on my son as well.
Please, Please, Please!! I urge you to help me fight this injustice to the
fullest extent of the law and prosecute those who have wronged my family and
put us through undue torment. The courts nor DFACS can say that they have
any proof of deprivation in the care taking of my son!! ALTHOUGH I AM NOT
PERFECT I AM A GREAT PARENT AND MY SON BELONGS AT HOME WITH ME NOT IN FOSTER
CARE OF THE CARE OF ANYONE ELSE!!! I pray that you will not allow the courts
for their own selfish cover to take my son from me one more day!!!! Follow
the law and read the transcripts and you will see as I do that something
went awry in the justice system. The judge in our case was hateful and very
abusive and it is my prayer that she be reprimanded for the same. No one
facing a judge should ever be disrespectfully told to “SHUT UP” Be quiet
maybe but never “SHUT UP”
Again I pray for your help and immediate action to bring my son back to his
rightful home where he is loved beyond love.
This I Sincerely Pray,

It is a sad day in our community when people who are in charge of the
records of the business and legal affairs of this county are allowed to
remain at their jobs when they have committed an act against the law. In the
old days the act of perjury would be enough to get a man hanged much less
cost him his job or his freedom and comfort. These days it seems, if the law
is broken by a person of high importance the normal act of arrest and
punishment will be covered up at any cost, for whatever reason. Little is
said in a small town about what the government does because no one wants to
shake the tree for fear or retaliation, defamation or total attack at every
end. Especially when the person being attacked has no money to fight back or
move elsewhere. When dishonesty is covered up it is a sad day for our
cities, counties, state and our world!
Sometimes people go their whole life and never have to deal with this
problem affecting their everyday life and they become naive to the fact that
it even happens! However, it does happen and it happens more often than you
think to the little people.. No one of importance is affected and it remains
a dirty little secret in a dirty small town. If you are the victim you lose
your job, your reputation and even worse your friends and family. If you are
the little person you just hope he nightmare ends soon and if you are the
person who committed the act you live a normal life with no regard for the
people whose life you rip apart. If you are the little person you have
sleepless nights, tears and heartache and if you are the other person you
have joy, respect and creditability. When someone hurts you normal instincts
tell you to fight back but often times the little person doesn’t have the
energy to. Why fight when you have nothing left to fight for and the ladder
of corruption extends to high. But, it doesn’t matter much how high up it
goes because the person at the bottom could alter the records any way.
Perjury is considered a serious offense as it can usurp the powers of the
courts, resulting in a miscarriage of justice. In the Untied States, for
example, the general perjury statute under Federal Law defines perjury as a
felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to five years. Subornation
of perjury, attempting to induce another to perjure themselves, is itself a
crime.
On Wednesday May 20, my son was taken from me in a case involving
allegations of deprivation. The persons accusing me of deprivation of my
child were not seeking to take custody of my child but custody was given to
them by a judge whom was not interested at all in the facts of the case and
testimony was fabricated and distorted. I was not allowed to talk about a
document that had been forged because it was irrelevant. However, the forged
document was signed and notarized by a deputy clerk of court whom sat at the
judges side during the hearing of my case. To me, it was relevant. In the
testimony of the father of my child a few minutes later this document was
the only issue discussed at length and when he denied signing it he was
treated with disrespect and much of what he had to say went unheard. We lost
our son. We have to follow a lengthy trail of jumping through the hoops to
regain custody of him and will be without my son for at least two weeks
while this process is investigated. Allegations of untruth were used against
us. It wasn’t until after we had lost the custody of our son that the court
had any evidence to substantiate the claims against us of any wrong doing on
our part and then it was minute evidence at best. Urine Drug tests
administered after our son was taken still did not provide truth enough to
take our son from us but yet this Memorial Day weekend we sit dumbfounded
without our son in our home. Afraid and dismayed that the decision to take
our child from us was made by a judge without reason.. DFACS was not even
attempting to take custody of our son but was awarded his custody anyway.
DFACS had investigated the claims against us and after their investigation
were still not seeking custody. It is very hard for us to imagine that a
judge would take our child from us without regard to a document that was
forged by our accuser and notarized illegally by the person who sat at her
side during the hearing of our case. Two days later the same person who was
making the accusations against us was jailed and the notary perjured herself
in that case. DFACS was at the hearing of the forgery case but yet it was
irrelevant in our case before the custody of our son. This forgery case was
relevant to my custody case if not DFACS would not have been in the
courtroom. Hopefully, the DFACS workers were there to try to figure out why
they were awarded custody of our son without probable cause when they weren’t
asking for custody. Hopefully, they know now that the accuser falsified
reports of deprivation and also convinced a notary in the juvenile clerks
office to sign and seal court documents in an effort to take my son from a
loving home where he was without a doubt taken excellent care of. I do not
intend to allow this kind of miscarriage of justice to prevail at taking my
son away from me and if it means stepping on toes and prosecution of high
officials to get my son back I intend to do just that..
Beware little people, lies and lawbreakers who think they are above reproach
are out to harm you or possibly take your kids without just cause. They are
notarizing, filing and lying about accusations against you and then someone
is covering their butts. YOU COULD LOSE YOUR KIDS IN AN EFFORT TO COVER
SOMEONES BUTT AND WHEN YOU DO SURELY JUSTICE HAS NOT PREVAILED!!!

The Story Of MJ
On the afternoon of Wednesday April 28th I was approached by someone on the
side of the road that stated to me they were with DFACS of Lamar County
Georgia. I was not shown any Identification of the lady who proceeded to
tell me that she needed to see the inside of my home and have a look at my
child. I was on my way to pick up my car that was in the shop and I stated
to this lady that my son MJ was at my mothers home on Rose Ave. I told the
lady that I would come down to her office if I had time before they closed.
She stated to me that she had an appointment at the school and would not be
in her office. the next morning I phoned the lady at DFACS and told her that
I was on my way to a heart specialist in Stockbridge Georgia concerning a
heart murmur that had been diagnosed by his pediatrician Dr. Mark Coker of
Zebulon. At this time Ms. Barkley asked me to turn the car around and come
back to Barnesville because she had to investigate the allegations that were
called into her office by the 24 hour cut off time. I stated to her that “I
would not turn around to come back to Barnesville as this would make me miss
my sons appointment and that it was very important that my son be seen by
this specialist at his 10:30 appointment. I continued on to the doctor for
our appointment with my father who is the grandfather of my son. When I got
to the appointment I was 15 minutes early and I signed in. I noticed after
about two hours that everyone who was in the waiting room before me had been
seen by the doctor and that others who had came in after me had also been
seen by the doctor. I approached the reception desk and asked why I hadn’t
seen the doctor yet and they stated to me that they “thought I was waiting
on someone”. They apologized for the wait and stated that they would call me
right back in a few minutes and asked me to please be patient. I was finally
called back into the examination room at around 2:00 that day. they
completed several tests including a EKG, and a sonogram of my sons heart. I
was taken into another room where I was to await the results and talk to the
doctor.. At about 3:15 a lady walked into the exam room and stated that she
was with DFACS in Henry county and that she had been dispatched out to see
my son. At this time I unclothed my son and allowed her to see his whole
body. The lady, my father and I had a conversation about how healthy my son
was and the lady stated to me and my father that MJ seemed to be well taken
care of and that we should take MJ and have a nice life. At this point I was
under the impression that the case with DFACS was over. I left the doctors
office with my son. Because of the call into DFACS I was afraid that the
putative father of my son was trying to take custody of my son through a
call to DFACS. I went to stay with my father until we could figure out what
to do to prevent this from happening. On Friday afternoon I went to my
mothers house in Barnesville to pick up her laptop so that I would have
internet access. At this time I was handed a deprivation petition which
stated I was to appear in court on May 19th. I went back to my fathers home
and begin to have conversation with the putative father about these papers
and he told me that he had filed legitimization papers with the clerk of
court in Barnesville but had not filed anything to do with deprivation. I
stayed at my fathers home until Wednesday of the next week when the putative
father stated to me that he would go down to the clerks office and have the
clerk of court tell me that the papers had nothing to do with deprivation.
On Thursday morning the putative father and I went down to the deputy clerk
of superior courts office who had notarized the deprivation papers. The
putative father asked Mrs. Holmes to tell me that he was never in her office
and that he was not there when these papers were filed. Ms. Holmes looked at
me and stated ” I AM GOING TO SAY THAT HE WAS” At this time the putative
father said Ms. Holmes tell her I was not here and that I have not filed any
such papers. Ms. Holmes again stated that Matt was there and did in fact
sign the papers. She told him that if he wished to drop the deprivation
petition that he would have to sign to have that court case dismissed. He
signed a blank piece of paper and the deputy clerk said that the case had
been dismissed. When we were on the way out of the courthouse I stopped at
the officers desk that was security at the door in charge of the metal
detector and told him that I had a problem that I needed to discuss with
him. I stated to him that Ms. Holmes had notarized papers that were forged
by the putative fathers mother in his name and that I knew that was against
the law. At this time Ms. Holmes can running down the back hallway with
another blank piece of paper and asked Matt to sign it and stated to the
officer that this case had been dropped. She was very nervous and upset. I
then asked the officer at the door if he had seen Matt down there at the
courthouse at any time during the prior week. He stated to me that he had
seen Matt’s mother there last week but had not seen Matt there personally.
You must come through the detector to enter the building and I felt at this
time that the officer would have seen Matt had he been there but he stated
to his knowledge and to the best of his recollection that Matt was not there
with his mother.
After the putative father and I left the courthouse, we returned to my home
to discuss matters further. When we walked into my home the phone was
ringing and I immediately picked it up. On the other end of the Line the
lady on the phone stated to me that she “wished to speak to Ms. KIM” I
stated to her that “THIS IS MS. KIM.” the lady on the phone then stated to
me… thinking I was the putative fathers mother… ” MS KIM YOU AND YOUR
SON NEED TO GET DOWN HERE TO MY OFFICE RIGHT AWAY MY JOB IS IN JEOPARDY!!!”
I asked her again acting as if I was MS KIM..
” Ms. Holmes, is this because my son was not with me when I filed those
deprivation papers?” and Ms. Holmes stated to me ” Ms. Kim, you told me that
your son had signed those papers!!!” in a very upset tone of voice. I then
stated to Ms. Holmes that “I was not in fact Ms. Kim but instead the baby’s
mother and that she had just told on herself for committing a crime by
notarizing papers without the person filing the petition there. And that
that was against the law and I intended to have her prosecuted for breaking
the law. A few minutes later the putative fathers mother arrived at my home
asking him to sign the papers so that Ms. Holmes would not lose her job and
he told her “No he would not”. The putative fathers mother begged him to
sign the papers and pleaded with him that if he didn’t sign them that Ms
Holmes would be found guilty of breaking the law. He again stated to her
that “NO HE WOULD NOT SIGN THEM” . I told the putative fathers mother that
“she would be facing forgery charges and that Ms. Holmes should lose her job
because she had broken the law and allowed a forged document to be filed in
the court”. The next day I received a letter in the mail stating that the
case file with the same number had been dropped by the petitioner.
On this Friday MAY 8th 2009, the same day the I received the letter of
dismissal of the case in juvenile court I was contacted by DFACS workers who
asked me if they could come to my home to see my son and tour the home and
discuss with me the allegations that they had received. Ms Allison Nash
stated to me that she would be out to my home at 3:30 that afternoon. Two
hours before Ms Nash ( the DFACS investigator) arrived at my home I got a
knock at the door. It was a lady from a company that does in home drug
testing for DFACS. She was allowed into the home and asked me if I would
submit to a drug screen and which I would urinate in a cup and have some of
my hair cut off. I stated to her that ” NO I WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO THE DRUG
TEST AS I HAD NO INFORMATION TO THE ALLEGATTIONS from DFACS as I had not
even seen them yet”. She left. At about 3:45 Ms. Nash and her supervisor
came to the door and I let them into the home. The putative father showed
them around the home and we began to talk about what the allegations were.
Both the putative father and I stated to the DFACS workers that “we knew
they could not tell us who had made the allegations but that we knew it was
the putative fathers mother who also filed the petition in court which had
been dropped”. After the DFACS workers left the home we were satisfied that
the investigation was complete although they told us that they had filed a
petition in juvenile court for cooperation with us on taking a drug screen.
On Tuesday May 19th at around 5:30 in the afternoon I was served papers to
appear in juvenile court at 8:30 am on the morning of May 20th to answer to
the charges of the DFACS allegations. They were asking for a protective
order for cooperation. They were not asking for a protective order to take
the custody of my child. Even though I knew that the papers had to be served
at least 24 hours before the court date and time I decided to go to court to
answer to the charges against me any way. I felt it was the right thing to
do even though I knew there was nothing that DFACS or the courts could do to
me if I didn’t appear. I just wanted this night mare to be over with.
On the morning of Wednesday May 20th I showed up in court unrepresented by
counsel and began to battle it out with the judge and DFACS concerning the
reason for my not taking the drug test and for my not reporting to DFACS
after they had visited me at the doctors office. I stated to the courts that
I thought that I had cooperated with the DFACS to the best of my knowledge
except for taking the drug test but I stated that I didn’t know exactly what
the allegations against me were until after the fact. I stated in court that
I left my home and stayed with my father for a few days due to the
deprivation papers that had been filed in juvenile court that were forged
and I was told by the judge that those papers were irrelevant to my case
even though in my mind they were relevant due to the fact that I wasn’t
running from DFACS I was running from the putative father and the attempt by
his mother to gain custody of my son through the forging of the original
papers claiming deprivation. In court neither my father nor I were allowed
to bring up the original papers filed in juvenile court at all. I was
treated with total disrespect from the judge every time I tried to state
that I had ran because of the illegally filed papers and not to avoid DFACS.
After testimony was complete the judge told the DFACS workers to take
custody of my child at which time I handed my child to the DFACS workers.
The judge continued to rail me in court in front of everyone stating that I
did not care about my child or I would not have left the county when DFACS
tried to contact me. Again I tried to explain that the reason I had left was
because I was afraid that the father was trying to take my child from me
without being legitimized through DFACS. The judge then yelled at me and
stated that my son would remain in custody until I cooperated with DFACS in
the investigation. The judge then asked me if I would take a drug test at
which time I agreed to do so and I was taken out of the courtroom into
another room where I submitted to the hair drug test and the urine drug
test.
During the time I was taking my drug tests the father showed up at the
courthouse and was escorted in front of the judge where she asked him
(ACCORDING TO HIM) “ Mr. Hill is that your soon that has been taken into
foster care by the court?” He replied “yes mam it is!” The judge then asked
him “if he had ever been down to the courthouse and filed deprivation papers
against me?” “ at which time he stated “NO I HAVE NOT FILED ANY PAPERS FOR
DEPRIVATION BUT MY MOTHER DID FILE SPERS THERE ON MY BEHALF FOR
LEGITIMIZATION!” The judge then asked the putative father if he was ready to
take the drug test at which time he stated “yes mam” He was then led into
the adjoining room where I was and tested by way of urine and hair sample. A
few minutes later the putative father and I were led back into the courtroom
where I was chastised for crying out loud when my son was taken. The judge
told me that my outburst of tears and crying were only a sign to her that I
might be incapable of being a good mother because I was emotional and very
upset. The judge then set a hearing for 8:30 am on Friday May the 22nd for
the 72 hour hearing.
On Thursday May 21st I went to Forsyth to seek indigent counsel due to the
fact that my son was placed in foster custody with the state for undue and
unproven reasons. DFACS was not seeking the custody of my child only an
order for cooperation. Yet they were given custody of my child without
having proved that any deprivation had taken place at all. There was no
evidence to substantiate the taking of the custody of my child.
On Friday Mat 22nd I returned to the court for the 72 hour hearing hoping
that I would regain the custody of my son. On this day the guardian ad litem
remained convinced that my child should stay in the custody of the state and
the judge followed through with this request and I was not allowed to have
custody of my son back. The judge told the putative father when he asked to
speak about my abilities as a mother to and I QUOTE “SHUT UP!“
After court, myself along with the father of the child went to the DFACS to
have visitation with my son. It was at this point that we were told by our
caseworker that they were not seeking custody of my son and were rather
surprised that the judge had awarded such and asked me if I might knew the
reason why she awarded custody when they were not seeking custody. It was at
this time that I explained the document that the judge kept insisting that
was irrelevant to my case. I told the DFACS case worker that I had a case
against the putative fathers mother in magistrate court at 3:30 that same
afternoon for forgery. They were not aware of the court case but stated that
it was ironic that the person I had subpoenaed to be a witness to the
forgery was none other than the deputy clerk of juvenile court herself, who
sat on the bench beside the judge during the hearing of the case on
Wednesday when my son was taken and whom had allowed the forged document to
be notarized (BY HER) and filed. It was at this point that I stressed to the
DFACS caseworker that that was the reason why I had left town and not to
avoid a drug test. I told them that I was afraid that the putative father
had planned to take custody of my son and that his mother had filed those
deprivation papers in an attempt to do just that and avoid having to hire a
lawyer to go the legal route . It was a may lay attempt to go around the
court system and that was what I was afraid of the whole time. The putative
father and I were at the DFACS office much of the day with the Foster Care
caseworker setting up appointments for the visitations and drug screens and
assesments.
On the afternoon of May 22 at 3:30 the putative father and I went to the
Lamar County Magistrates office for court. When we got out of the car I
proceeded into the courtroom. When I got inside and looked behind me the
putative father was not behind me so I went to look for him. I saw him
standing outside surrounded by the CLERK OF SUPERIOR COOURT FRANK ABBOTT,
His mother Kim HILL sister Nikki Hill and his aunt. I called the attention
of my mother to go over to the window and look who was outside with the
putative father and I stated to my mother that they must be trying to talk
him out of testifying for me that the document was forged and notarized
illegally. I proceeded into the courtroom and began to plead my case against
the putative fathers mother. I called Ms Debra Holmes as a witness and she
at this point committed perjury and told the judge that the putative father
was at her office and had actually filed the deprivation papers. Later in
court the putative father stated he was not there at any point until he went
down to have the case dropped the day he and I went together.. The putative
fathers mother later took the stand and admitted that the son was never at
the courthouse with her that day and that she herself had forged his name on
the document and that Ms Holmes had notarized it and filed it in court for
her. The putative fathers mother was then arrested for forgery of the
document. DFACS caseworkers and the Director of DFACS were in the magistrate
court that day for the hearing and learned that the deputy clerk of court
had committed perjury on the stand and had in fact allowed the forged
document to be filed.
We are due in court on June 3.2009 for the case against myself and DFACS
concerning the custody of my son. It is my hope that these workers realize
now that the judge unfairly awarded them custody of my son based on a cover
up of the illegal activities of this clerk of court who sits by the judges
side during my hearings on the case.
It is my firm belief that the judge had no grounds for taking the custody of
my son and that her judgment in the surrendering of the custody of my son
was an attempt to pervert justice in the forgery case and perhaps prevent my
seeking in the future to prosecute the clerk of her court. Intimidation is
often used by judges to cover up the injustices that are committed by
someone they work closely with on a daily basis. I am appalled that this
kind of thing happens and perhaps now I realize that it happens more than I
had ever liked to think it did. I do intend to go forward with the
prosecution of the clerk of her court for forgery of the document and
possibly perjury for her testimony on the stand on Friday. The judge nor
DFACS have rightfully proved any deprivation of my child and his being
ripped from my hands at the request of a judge who would not allow the truth
to be told and important documents to be revealed is the worst kind of
injustice a new mother should ever have to endure.
This is the story of MJ, my precious son who was ripped from my hands based
on lies and cover-ups of injustice and broken laws by high officials in our
county Government..

Dedra in Georgia:
Google the name Dorothy Kernaghan Baez.
There are or were at least 2-3 groups in GA.
You know, even a Supervisor at DFACS in one of the rural counties was caught up in her own employer’s mess.
You also need to join the Message Boards here. Need to register to join.
I am sure you find folks to network with.
Best wishes to you and your son. F.
Also further Google DFACS or DCFS or DFCS.
There’s many illegalities and downright criminal actions taken by CPS to keep their jobs.

Before you go to the media, you MUST REGISTER ON THE MESSAGE BOARD HERE AND TALK WITH AN ADVOCATE who lives in your state.
Please wait just a bit longer. It takes sometimes up to 3 days to be approved to talk on the message boards, but sex abuse IS A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE.
May I suggest you read the 206 comments on the portion of this Website called
LAWYERS WHO TAKE CPS CASES.
You really need an attorney. Linda Joe has at least 25 states with attorneys mentioned.
The call is most likely free. You may have serious money involved. F.

I am a mother of three handsome boys, Recently cps came into my life and asked me to go to team meetings for my children, So i started going to them. I was asked to sign a temporaly placement plan for my children, They told me if i did not sign it they would take me to court and i would never see my children again, So i did. They asked me to move out of my Apartment and move into something with 3bedrooms and a fenced yard and i did. They also asked me to do u/a’s which i did. The cps worker told me that if i did every thing i would get my kids back. Now they are taking me to court to take my children from me. I need some Help ASAP. Not only that my son got hurt under the states care. If somebody is willing to help me i would apreciate it.
