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.
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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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
November 1, 2009
In Midland, Michigan an adopted child attacked and killed Faith Baden’s son, Justin Baden, age 17, early in August, 2009. Justin and his younger siblings were removed from Faith Baden’s home by CPS and eventually adopted out to Jessica Pribbernow, a Michigan child-collector.
The newspaper reported that Pribbernow had custody of five boys adopted from foster care. The accused, known as Steven Jeffrey Pribbernow Jr., 15, is not the biological brother of the boys he is said to have attacked.
Two others boys, both sons of Faith Baden, were injured severely in the knife attack.
Faith left a number of news articles, emails, and comments on FightCPS yesterday. You can read them here and here.
Faith, my heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your son, and prayers for the healing of his younger brothers. We here at FightCPS do understand that your children should not have been separated from their loving parents.
Obviously the child collecting adopters were not capable of keeping the children safe. This is one more sign that the foster-adoption system in this country doesn’t work. I wonder if these children, in particular the one said to be the attacker, were on medications as “special needs” children. Many pharmaceutical medications given to foster and adoptive children are believed to have produced suicidal or homicidal tendencies. One of the emails posted stated that Jessica and her husband were unemployed and living off the adoption subsidy payments received for adopting the boys – a clear indicator that these were probably medicated children.
A fine way our country pretends to keep children safe.

I hope they burn in hell
Comment by Terri Rote — November 3, 2009 @ 1:23 pm
One of the friends of the adopted mother keeps getting into her sites and saying things to Faith. Faith does not talk to these people, they find her sites, they even copied the sites and took it to court to try to get a PPo on her and another family, she was denied. The judge asked her 8 questions on if Faith has contacted her by phone or any other telecommunication deviice, Showed up at a place of business, home or public eye, etc…She ( the adopted mother) said no to all. Judge wouldn`t even let her finish reading the (Faiths` web site) paperwork. This woman says she is being stalked, Faith has NO CONTACT WITH THE FAMILY….Judge denied the adopted mother the PPO. FACT!
Bring it on Jessica and Jessica.

Comment by faith baden — November 4, 2009 @ 9:30 pm
I am so sorry for the loss of your son, Justin. I am equally as sorry for your son, Paul. I have checked whatever records I could obtain online and Paul is a child himself, in prison.
What can be done to get Paul out of prison?
I take it that he was only 18 yrs old when he took the plea.
You and others state that he is not guilty. I would like to work along those lines.
Justin is gone but the others may still be saved.
Who is Paul’s atty?
Is there anyway we can work together to have him exonerated?

Comment by faith baden — November 5, 2009 @ 11:17 pm
Faith, are you talking to me? I can’t go to Michigan… no money for traveling. I live in Northern California. Anyhow, I’m not a lawyer – I’m just a webmaster.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — November 6, 2009 @ 4:45 am
no i was speaking to maggie c from what ahe write to me on my sons .
Comment by faith baden — November 6, 2009 @ 9:35 am
Faith,
I venture to say that after what has occured at the adoptive parent’s hosue that the remaining children “should” be removed and placed elsewhere -but who knows with CPS????
As to your son, Paul. Have you tried to contact the Innocence Project?
I can’t come to MI and even if I could, I am not an attorney. I can not represent you or anyone else in court.
I can however, give as much information as I have available.

Comment by faith baden — November 9, 2009 @ 11:13 am
I also am dealing with CPS and they took my 5yr old daughter out of shcool and placed her in foster care based on false allegations. It has been 2 months and really feel there is no bright side to this situation there are corrupt and evil and unless I have money for a lawyer I will not get anywhere.
Comment by kayla — November 20, 2009 @ 5:38 pm
I have literally exhausted contacting and emailing people. I have went as far as all my state Reps to the President and still no help. I’ve even contacted the FBI for them KIDNAPPING my child even a petition but because of the fact that I’m a single mother with no extra income I get nowhere. I’m sorry to hear about your son but if you have any advice I’m all ears, they need to be reprimanded for their actions and I do believe that there is a special place in HELL for these people they are pure evil!

Steven Pribbernow did murder Justin Pribbernow. But what you don’t know, is that the adoptive home Steven was in, as well as Kody Pribbernow, Kevin Pribbernow was abusive.
The adoptive mother Jessica Pribbernow Saylor and step father Joshua Saylor locked Kody, and Steven in a room in the basement with just a mattress a…nd a blanket. The door to this room was locked from the outside, and chicken wire was put over the window so the boys could not get out. Steven was in this room with Kody for no longer than a month. Kody would have to knock on the door in the middle of the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and his brothers would let him out. Joshua put the chicken wire on the window to keep him from going out that way.
The boys were also locked outside of the home and not allowed back in because donuts came up missing from the refrigerator.No one would admit to it and that all the boys were made to go outside into the cold and when they figured out who did it, they

They have reported, having to sleep outside on the patio.
Paul reports that after Kody had open back surgery, Kody was forced to sleep on the floor in front of the sliding glass door, in the home on 10.5 Mile in Sanford, MI.
Paul reports Jessica would yell at Kody for crying due to the pain of the surgery.
Kody was forced to be outside on the back patio of the home on 10.5 Mile in Sanford, MI because he had an accident in his pants. While he was forced to be outside, it was at night time Kody was tanted by Joshua and his siblings that their were cyotes out there that were going to get him. Kody was banging on the sliding patio doors, begging and crying to come in.

Steven reports they have been hit with belts, forced to stand in the corner for long periods of time. Items were thrown at them, he’s been kicked, slapped.
Four of the boys, Paul, Justin, Kody, Steven have all ran away from this home.
Kody reported child abuse within the first few months of being placed in Jessica’s home.
Jessica ridiculed the children while on a school field trip to another parent that was on the trip, told this parent confidential information about the kids she has from foster care.
Several reports to CPS were made by the friends of Steven and Justin who they confided in about the abuse.
Matthew Bass saw a large mark on Stevens back while playing basketball at Jefferson Middle School in Midland, MI. This could have been from being hit with a belt.
A witness by the name of Brooke and Gene San Miguel went over to Jessica’s home, so that their daughter could play with Jessica’s daughters. While there, Jessica lined the boys up in a line, told Brooke who all the kids were. Jessica then told Brooke and Gene all about the boy’s family background and why they were there. She told Brooke and Gene while the kids were lined up, which one had different fathers. After that Kody was made to go back downstairs, and the boys were told to keep Kody downstairs that Kody was not allowed upstairs. This was all witnessed by Brooke and Gene San Miguel.
Brooke had the boy’s over to her house on a play date for her daughter with Jessica’s daughters, and Jessica made the boy’s go to a separate room, while her daughters played with Brooks daughter. The boys were not allowed to make a sound, or ask to go to the bathroom, or accept anything to eat or drink. Brooke offered them pop and snacks and the boys were not allowed to have it.
Jessica would talk about the boy’s and their medical conditions, how much money she get’s from the state for them, and how bad their parents were to parents at softball and soccer games.
Jessica had an underwear exchange program, where the boys had to sniff their underwear in order to get a new pair.
The boys could not have friends over to the house, not allowed to have a cell phone, or be on the internet.
The boys were told that if they ever spoke out about the abuse, the abuse would get worse.
Paul said they were threatened if they wanted to leave the home, the abuse would be greater in another foster home, then what they are getting now.
Justin, our son who was murdered, ran away to his best friend Jacob Moody’s home. Jacob’s father Chad Moody said that Justin had told him of abuse. Justin had ran away to Chad Moody’s home and stayed for over a week, and ran away to Chad Moody’s home on other occasions. Chad said, that Justin had told him what was going on in the home, and that he didn’t take it seriously that he was just a kid. Jessica came to get Justin from Chad’s home, and Chad became concerned for Justin after meeting Jessica.
Steven ran away, and was tracked by his cell phone and made to come home. Police officer Hunt came to get Steven and bring him home. Jessica is friends with officer Hunt, and Benzing. Benzing was the investigator on Justin’s murder case and interviewed Jessica and Joshua Saylor regarding the murder and allegations of abuse.
Steven went to school with brused collar bone, and Kody went to school with a fat lip.
Matthew Bass stated that Steven and Kody would come to school in the same clothes for two to three days in a row.
Mathew Bass stated that Kevin and kody piled up free food to eat at school
