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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

Comment by velma — November 7, 2009 @ 6:16 pm
I need a good lawyer to help bring my daughter back home. The DSS/CPS in Orange Va. is corrupt, the court appt. attornies are working with DSS not me. Everything my lawyer has recomended I have done. I feel that has been my biggest mistake, at the time I did not know. All I wanted was to get my daughter back, which DSS took her when I went to them for help. I need a lawyer to fight back, I have an appeal comming up that my lawyer keeps telling me to drop. At this time DSS has taken my daughter for a second time. I feel with the right attorinty thier could be hope. At this time DSS is telling me I am through, I have no maor chances they are looking to place my daughter with family ar adopition. DSS keeps repeating adopition, they have refused my family any rights. This DSS/CPS has made several false allegations, without proff. DSS/CPS os out of control torturing us, making me jump through hoops for nothing, always comming back to hear more lies from them. I have never had the chance to defend myself at any time. The Judge always does what ever DSS/CPS tells them to do abd request. I don’t have a chance. We need Justice. Instead of this case being about my daughter and protecting her, its been more about how far they can push me hoping I will give up. Allot of their requests for me are three times more then for the father. That is the reason why we are here in the first place. Their needs to be justice for the innocent. I have never done anything wrong towards my daughter in anyway. I also have two sons who are not involved in this case. Please if you have compasion, and care about family for truth, please contact me. DSS/CPS in this small town has railroaded me over and over again. They have no right. Please help me stop them, so I can reunite my family back together. Enough damange has been caused to her by DSS/CPS. They have done nothing for me daughter but tear her apart, she is only 6years old. All this BS started when she was five. My daugter and her brothers are being destroyed by the same system that is supposed to protect them. DSS/CPS has shattered our family in a thousand pieces. I love my children and have done everything possible to put back to gether, then I see what I felt was so true. It is not me it is the system who is corrupt, who will destroy you if they can, with no reguards.

I am writing out of desperation for advice and help. I have been duped by the CPS of California. I have been told nothing but lies by the various caseworkers. They pretend to have my 7 y/o baby girls interest in mind, but that is absolutely not the case with me. I have a personal injury attorney that agreed to take my case against CPS and if he could have the case my husband has against Kmart worth between 1/2 million dollars and 1 million dollars. Great ambulance chaser but he ignores me and my daughter and our case as CPS is trying to now adopt out my daughter. My friend martin is trying to help me find help and resources and suggested i post on hear. My husband has no income as the atty. doesn’t want him to work. meaning more dollars for him. I am disabled with a phych. disorder but is treated with medicatiion. We have jumped all the hoops and loops. I don’t have money but can pay for services in payments or write up a legal agreement for payment upon settlement by Sears/Kmart that gouged is eye and dragged him displacing his retina. All of the Kmart incident is a case of mistaken identity and untrained security personnel. Any help, ideas, anything at all would be so appreciated. Prayers accepted too. Thanks Gee-na

In July of 08 I took my then 14 mo old daughter to the hospital. She hurt her leg when her older (5yr old) brother fell off the bed and landed on her. They took x-rays and found a fracture. I waited for them to treat my daughter for over 5 hours befor being told that cps would be coming to talk to me about my daughters injurys. I was upset because this hospital had done nothing to help my daughter in all this time and now I was being accused of hurting her. I left the hospital, picked up my husband who left our other five children with friends and we went to the next closest hospital to try again to recieve care for her leg. Before long cps and seven police cars came to the hospital. They said if we didn’t tell them where our other childern were they would take our daughter.They kicked my husband out of the room and tryed to take my baby. I then told them what they wanted to know and without our knowledge or consent they went and interigated our other five kids. They made us consent to a home invasions and made us sign a safty plan. After leaving the hospital with our daughter we desided that we could not take chances with these people. We packed up and left the state that very night. They got a judge to file a warrant and there was a nation wide search for us. The police spotted me in massacusets walking to church one morning(nov. 9, 08) with my daughter. They cuffed me and took me and daughter to the police station. It took about 8 hours for cps to arrive. It took about 5 officers to violently pull my daughter from my arms. She was deported to ny where they put her in foster care and forced x-rays. The court made us bring our other children to court. They gave our baby back and made us consent to cps invations for a year.It was a long three day without our daughter. We are also glad to see the end of the year.

Comment by MaggieC — November 12, 2009 @ 5:05 pm
First of all I began fighting an interstate case against my childs father in California after he lost him to the state when he was arrested for drug trafficking. I live in Kentucky. I had no involvement with my sons father. I won my case after 2 years of jumping through hoops.
The CPS here in Kentucky came to my home and made certain that it was a safe environment for my son to live in, then they continued to come to the home for another year to check up on us and all was fine.
I am bipolar and had a problem with my medication and became somewhat confused. My sister took me and my child from my home and moved us into her home. Although her intentions were good, her involvement cost me the loss of my son once again, as she made me leave and kept my son. To me this is equivalent to kidnapping.
I have since gotten all my doctors appointments and medications straightened out and am quite ready to battle the system once again, as I aready know this can be done.
The court has given me a court appointed attorney, but as many others realize they do not work to the Best interests of the client.
Can someone direct me to a lawyer that will fight this case WITH me?
Comment by D — November 13, 2009 @ 5:11 am
My ex sister in law named Valerie Windsor (Denville, NJ) made a false accusation against me stating I once told her “God is telling me to kill my children”. What I really said was that I sometimes regret bringing innocent children into this world. She cannot have children of her own. I gave custody of the kids to my ex during the divorce. I did not ask for spousal support, alimony, damages from battering, etc. I only wanted to get away from him and try to get my life together. He was arrested for heroin and drug use (Louis Ventre, New Jersey) and the state of NJ intervened to take the kids but when I tried to regain custody his sister made the false accusation so she could have “kids of her own”. I never got to confront her false accusation in court. I did not find out until afterward what she said. That was a 4th ammendment violation. There is a very good book on this subject titled Other People’s Children that can be checked out at the library. I need a lawyer to defend my 4th ammendment rights. The state of California is now after me for $47,000 in back child support. I do not have the money. I can barely keep a roof over my head. I absolutely adored my kids. I am attempting to have an illustrated children’s book published on their behalf. These false accusations by a government agency without providing an attorney for defense is destroying so many lives.

hi i can help with some of these issues as i am fighting them myself. i am not an attorney but i have learned you dont need to be to beat them at their own game. i have been fighting them now for 6 mon but its not just them im fighting its the courts to.so i went over their heads and contacted the suprime courts case mgt dept and my county commishineers office. within 2 days of contacting these 2 levals of authority they have started returning my children. what i found to work is getting into their face and not backing down you are the parents stand up and fight back no matter what they tell you after all who are they. they will use all sorts of intimidation tacktics to make you feel threatened but dont back down no matter what.take the upperhand by going over their heads. my goal is to see that all children are protected from the true abusers. the state.if you would like to know more about this please call me at 937-521-1361

My two daughters were taken by DCS in Tennessee after my oldest had left home and moved in with her friends while being very unruly and beligerent at home, refusing to go to school and becoming involved with other delinquent behavior, she was brainwashed and coerced into filing false allegations against her parents and thus caused her younger sister to be placed in foster care with her and put me into a nervous breakdown for which I was hospitalized, meanwhile my wife is being misled and coerced by DCS to sign documents and make statements without benefit of counsel or attorney. I am so lost in trying to fight this mess, and have been out of work due to injuries on the job as well as losing my job and income, I have no idea what to do about this situation please help!

Comment by Anna — November 16, 2009 @ 12:01 pm
I have a legal question for anyone out there that might have heard of a case………….Can a 14 and 15 year child sue CPS in their state? For being taken from their blood relatives, lied to by the state as to why they were taken? They were taken at the age of 7 and 8, told no one wanted them, then adopted and told other things happened to them and that is why they were taken and now they know it was a LIE and now they want to bring civil case against CPS. They do not want to live with adopted family and want to come home to there blood relatives? Has any one ever heard of such a thing? And if so do they have a chance? They can prove the lie now that they are older.
Just wondering?
Comment by jj — November 17, 2009 @ 1:49 pm
My son is desperately in need of a central FL dependency attorney. Court appointed appeared to be working with “them” instead of in the best interest of the child.
Private attorney who has an accident case of his offered assistance and to take payment from the accident case. He is not a dependency attorney and to date, has done nothing (probably more from lack of knowledge). The one thing he has now done is motioned to withdraw because he has not bothered to speak with anyone or take a call in months despite being left verbal messages and receiving written request for contact. He was written to in July about all that has been going on (the falsehoods, lost documents, DCF failure to provide documents, etc. etc.) and specifically requeested to allow independent evaluations to obtain pure and accurate evaluations - his office kept sayign they still had not received any referrals. He never contacted anyone and ignored that request; set up an appointment anyway and still never spoke to my son about anythign. My son, respectfully explained to the gentleman why he wanted independent evaluation and also asked him outright if he was part of the department. He stated that he was, but he understood his concerns and fears. For weeks prior to meeting with him, no contact with the attorney, only reassurance by his staff that this man was independent and that they had no referrals to send to us (how could they secure this man with no referrals?). For over 8 months my son asked for these referrals and was lied about in court when they were never furnished. During these 8 months, as his Power of Arttorney, I also tried to obtain copies to provide to the doctors we had found and despite numerous requests to the attorneys office, I was told they never received them. Upon trying to get some assistance from the DCF legal office because nobody takes a call or returns a call at any level -she promptly accused my family and I of ringing her phone off the hook - but, did nothing to obtain the delayed paperwork from the caseworker or GAL who ignored the attorney and us for months. Subsequent to the last court date, the casewroker provided documents dated 2 weeks prior to that date which he never revealed (instead telling the court once again that my son was refusing to comply; never a mention of 8 months of them not doing their jobs. The attorneys office then told us that the caseworker said they were too old andhe needed to provide new ones. We have requested copies or that the attorney’s office direclty provide copies to the doctors wehav ehad waiting for months to no avail. Now the attorney is withdrawing because of alleged ireconciailable differences but hsi staff advised because they took so much time to schedule this evaluation and then my son refused to proceed—totally ridiculous since they knew he wanted and had connected with other doctors—and they also kept tellinghimt here was no conneection to the department and the man himself told my son there was. He is now being abandoned after his child has already been whisked out of state into a potentially unsafe situation immediately follwoing a court hearing wherein the case plan he originally refused to sign until is was corrected was proven to be incorrect through validating police reports and admission of the real perpetrator.They ascribed the domestic violence of his ex-wife to him and wanted him to sign it anyway - he refused and asked them to correct the errors. Immediately after proving the errors and the admission of his ex, they sent the child to NYC with her, not even allowing a goodby or anything.
Since sending her, NYC has advised that they got the child, but absolutely no paperwork from FL and cannot enforce contact because they have nothing to enforce. The NYC casewroker stated that their calls and efforts go unanswered just like our have been. They cannot obtain contact and even written contact has yielded no response from FL. Now, after 3 months of wasted time and no contact, the ex has no telephone at all. My son did ask her if he could mail through her to assure his daughter received things in the mail and shehas agreed,
To me, this seems like a collusive chain without any regard for the welfare of this child and a definite vendetta or similar intent to separate this child from my son at all efforts and expenses - mainly th echild. The ex-wife had abandoned the child for th efourth (4th time 2 years ago and has made no effort to have any contact or acknowledge any ocassion, like her birthday or Christmas. After not seeing her for 2 years and having left after burnign my son with cigarettes and having a destructive fit in front of this child - and not talking when my son tried to have the child call her during those 2 years - she is suddenly there - no phone and contact and the attorney is abandoning him. Please, anyone who can assit in Florida, please contact us.
