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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

today makes 3 months that my son is gone now and it still hurts as if it was yesterday .and in 3 more days jessica has had all the kids for 6years .and that still hurts to everyday yet .
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

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
My name is Faith Baden, and I am the biological mother of Paul, Justin, Kevin and Kody. I am a good mother and I want my children back. The state of Michigan took them 4 years ago and in doing so, violated our civil rights as well as our children’s civil rights. And we want to fight to get them back, but we need help.
We were told that our children wouldn’t be taken from us.We were told they would work with us, to keep our children in our home. They had us sign a paper stating they were going to put programs in place, in order for us to keep our children. These programs were never put into place.
Two weeks after cps first came out to our home, we were in court and appeared for the first time in front of a judge. At which time, during this court appearance, without our knowlege, our children were being taken into state custody while they were in school. This happened in Standish, MI on November 7th 2003.
We were told ( felt threatend,) that if we didn’t plea to some of the charges against us, that our children would be taken from us for good. And that if we agreed to the plea agreement, they would work with us, so that we could keep our children. But they lied to us.
We didn’t hurt our children. My youngest boy received a scratch on his foot that was caused by the chain that my brothers dog was tied up with outside. While I was treating his scratch, his school reported that it was not being properly treated, and reported us to cps.
His foot was healed when we went to court on Nov 7th 2003. The case worker lied to the court and said that it wasn’t healed. The doctor that was treating him, sent over a report stating his wound was healed. While we were pleading our case in court for the first time, our children were being taken into state custody without our knowledge.
I love my children very much, and want them back home with me. I am worried about their safety where they are currently staying.
I am asking for your help.
Faith Baden
Biological mother of Paul, Justin,who is now deceased, Kevin and Kody

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!
