Eva, I’m so sorry, but I don’t know how to do that. Have you asked about this on the FightCPS forum? Have you filed an appeal?

Dorothy, I replied to you on the other thread you left this message on. I hope your son will sue… be aware there’s a statute of limitations and he must file SOON… after he’s eighteen.

I lived in Ky when this happened. Anyone who wishes to help with support or how to go about a class action lawsuit against a state jop and cps please email me at trekkiemutantxgirl[@]yahoo.com. Here’s my story:

I am among what appears to be many who want to sue Kentucky for everything it is worth! 8 long years ago my son was taken from me. I was sick and my house was a terrible mess. I was so sick i dropped out of college because i was failing! I asked for help. The answer: a social worker at my house firs thing in the morning with a camera! I was told there would be before and after pictures. I had my elderly father help me clean the house SPOTLESS and there were never after pictures. The judge never heard my side of the story, i was thrown in jail that day, before my testimony, over a $50 bounced check! My disabilities and the fact that my son is disabled was used against me.

I did EVERYTHING they requested of me at first. I was even told in front of my visiting mother (a witness) that my son and i would be ready for weekend visits, and that would lead to his return. Those visits NEVER happened! Every time progress was made our caseworker was changed. Every new caseworker had no idea of the promises that were made.

Eventually i became suicidal because of cps and their false promises. the visits with my son even stopped due to one excuse or the other. Threats and intimidation became commonplace in my life. Hangups when i called in became even more common.

Eventually i could take no more. I moved out of Kentucky without my son. Not even a year after i moved i got a letter, 3 days after, i was due in court for my parental rights to be removed on the basis of abandonment. I NEVER abandoned my child. I fought until i could fight no longer. My rights were illegally terminated and to date my voice has never been heard in my defense.
I have since had another child. A girl. I am now terrified of cps, and terrified to love her as much or more than i did my son. I am terrified that if i do then cps will find a way to take her as well.

In 5 weeks and 1 day my son turns the big 18. He emailed me for the first time the day after my birthday of this last year. He told me he is coming home march 2 of this year and NOTHING is going to stop him. I asked if he wanted to sue the hell out of Ky for their injustice. He said yes. Now how do i go about correcting what was done wrong and nailing those S.O.B’s that took my boy illegally? Also how can i join in on the movement to sue KY with the other parents who suffered and are suffering like me? I lived in Columbia. Media at tension in this is more than welcome after march 2 of this year. Any help or support in this matter or in the upcoming reunion of my son will be more than welcome. Thanks.

From a mom who’s heart is continuing to break.

Antonette, you and your daughter can file for a state administrative hearing to challenge the denial of kinship care rights.

I am a grandmother with my grand children in separate places. There are three boys and one girl they should be together but CPS feel that they know whats best. Twenty years ago my daughter was in the system because she decided after my break up with ding dong burger. But now the CPS are trying to say it was because of drugs and prison but I have never been charge child abuse nor drugs. They want p;ace the kids with me because they are corrupt and small minded to abuse our children and then breakup our family for what they are doing abusing children with the system behind them.

Terri, It’s Diane. We spoke over the summer about trying to find a way to Washington this summer. My new number is (563) 571-1297. I am still here if you want to chat. I would like to be there in Des Moines for one of those Saturday meetings, but it will have to be after income taxes when I can get a better car. Hugs and Prayers!

cps is no good ,cps is full of lies and deceit. cps is not for the protection of the child or children but to create worst abuse.my child 4 years old is being abuse by his mother n his 10 year old brother and his 14 year old brother as well. my little child is being sexually abuse by his brothes and beaten and his mom does nothing to protect my son.ive taken my son to counseling and hospitals and the medical reports by these agencies all support the benifit of my sons case. my son has been burn in the inside of his inner thigh with a scare that will never leave his body by his 14 year old half brother,and cps came up to hospital and took pictures of the burn and said its old and thats nothing.. They always tell me to leave the room when they want to talk to my son and when i come back they say my son want talk to them.but my little boy always say to me dad those people keep lying on me dad i do tell them my mom is mean to me and i do tell them my broyhers touch my pee, pee, and my brothers beat me but dad they lie on me. i tell him i know baby but we just got to keep on fighting and not give up cos we gonna win over their lies baby ,and he just looks me in the eye like saying is there really a chance of wining over a power thats most certainly connected with supreme congress, well god has all power in his hand and darkness will and shall be over come by light soon and very soon i truly believe.

PAS: it’s real. My ex’s girlfriend was severely sexually abused as a child but since my ex met her, she has passed on her issues to my 9 yr old daughter. My daughter told me the other day, “——-’s father was one of those daddy’s that liked to have sex with kids.”….is this appropriate? to tell a child these things?
This woman, along with the help of my ex’s mother who was the “director for women’s Services” and is now the director for “Family counseling services”, made false allegations about me, and CPS forced me to sign away my parental rights with the threat of FOSTER care if I didn’t…It’s been two years and many court cases later, and still I don’t have my custody back…My daughter, who I get unsupervised visitation with twice a week for 4 hours, treats me like a second class citizen, doesn’t believe a word I say, and even though I am an OB nurse, tells me they say I am a “bad nurse” who doesn’t really know anything and begs me to never come to her school or her house because last time I did she got so “terrified”, that she got diarrhea…her most recent obsession (she developed OCD since they took her from me…)..I don’t know what to do, but I tell you what, PAS is real and it’s the worst thing someone could do to the mother child relationship. What happened to honoring our mothers?
