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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

I have been reading much of your postings which I find very interesting. I was a foster parent for a couple of years and that is all it took for me to see how abusive and arrogant CPS is, in my state the acronmn is CYFD. They always seem to be on a “witchhunt”………you best never defend the child or bio parent or you are then harrassed.
Comment by Eloy Ramirez — January 8, 2010 @ 6:10 am
I would like to know if there is any group of parents in New York State that has organized to fight CPS. I would be pleased to hear of the group and wish to contact them.
Thank you,
James Likoudis
Comment by James LIkoudis — January 8, 2010 @ 6:12 am
William, the more a divorced couple fights with each other, and makes accusations against each other, the better it is for CPS to get ‘evidence’ (phony or not) to use against both of you. Then the kids end up in foster care – often parental rights are removed and the children are adopted out. It is much better if you try to get along with your ex spouse, difficult as that may seem at this time. Good luck with your case. I’ve been a non-custodial parent and know, it hurts. Just don’t let CPS play the two of you against each other.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 8, 2010 @ 7:45 pm
Eloy, thanks for the feedback! I perceive foster parenting as a dangerous thing to do. I know most foster parents get into it because they want to help children, but the way they’re manipulated by CPS agents can be heart-rending and false accusations from traumatized foster children are another frightening possibility.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 8, 2010 @ 7:53 pm
James, seems like we had this question recently. Check the recent guestbooks – I believe Maggie responded.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 8, 2010 @ 7:55 pm
Dear Linda.
A cps investigation was started about me several months back. I got “service” for therapy which went pretty well, I think. I no longer receive services. But I have not heard from my CPS worker at all. What does this mean? Is this bad? Is my case being presented to court unbeknown to me? My son was reported for an incense burn on his arm.
Comment by Rose — January 10, 2010 @ 1:19 pm
It has been 1 year now since I found this site and wrote about my story to …help others (be aware) or help myself (vent) I believe my intentions were to do both and if even only one family was able to use my story to help them in their nightmare against CPS then it was well worth it! On the flip side I want to thank you all for listening (reading) my story.
This is a wonderful website Linda.
Now I would like to share with all of you the updates of my case, but first I am sure it would help if I give you a recap of what took place last year that started all of this…..
I helped a friend get Christmas for her children because her boyfriend would not work and didn’t want her to either she tried to leave him and stayed at my home for a few days he called CPS and said she was sexually abusing her children and that I was manufacturing Meth in my home (later proved to not be true but ofcourse with CPS that doesn’t matter) this was their way to GET IN!
I wish I knew more about my rights then like I do now! What they found was a joint and a pipe that is used to do Meth so yes I had a drug habit but believe me when I say my children were FAR from abused or neglected and I have 1yr. clean and still strongly feel that to be true. I have three wonderful children my oldest is 22 and lives in FL.now my second boy is 15 and my baby girl is 10 and they had no idea what I did (the drug use) when they were not around, that is until CPS told them in great detail (and some).
Now they tested my children’s hair and said they were positive for drugs, (this was so they could get the courts to agree to remove my children from me) however I had the same (professional)test done and it came back negitive.
Next they say in court that they heard me tell my son to lie about something (so they could make me have supervised visits only) by the way so far they achieved both of these goals, to make it sound real good the CPS lady was on the stand and the (Q). by her lawyer was “When you went to the residents of ——did you smell a odor?” Her (A). “Well yes after being in the home for a few moments my chests started hurting my throat got real sore and I could hardly carry on a conversation with the officer after leaving” (However they did NOT take the children that night) Hummm why?
That wasn’t very proffessional was it?
( I mean if the home did that to her in a few minutes i wonder how we were livivg in that!) LIAR!
Now I am going to try to jump forward for you I did finally get my children back in May the case was closed in June and I requested transcripts from that day in court (when CPS lady lied) in July. (What happens next is really vendictive of them) when I get in a fender bender this Dec.22 they say I have a warrent for my arrest, (from that county) they filed Criminal charges on me (date filed July 17, almost 2 months after the case was closed)so I go to jail for the first time in my 39 yrs.of life. What I would like to know is why did they wait until I jumped through all their hoops (completed drug classes) moved out of that county,(like they told me to) got a good job and cleaned my life up just for them to F— it up again!?
Any comments would be greatly apprieciated.
Thanks so much
Tina
Comment by Tina — January 10, 2010 @ 3:16 pm
Rose, if your caseworker isn’t contacting you, that’s a good thing. If it were me I wouldn’t call her to talk about anything. Hopefully she’ll forget you exist. How long has it been since you stopped therapy/heard from the caseworker?
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 10, 2010 @ 3:35 pm
Tina, it looks like vindictive caseworkers not happy that you won in court, trying to make your life harder. Where will your children stay if they arrest you? Have you got good alternative care planned in advance if it comes to that?
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 10, 2010 @ 3:54 pm
Hi,I am a grandmother thousands of miles from California.Helpless? Oh Yeah. Cps wouldn’t even talk to me. !18 months and 5 workers ago my granddaughter was taken from my daughter who lives in Riverside.Every time a worker is caught in a lie she’s gone. Now , they want to give my granddaughter to a man they say” for all intents and purposes ” is her father. He’s not even on the birth cert. It’s a total miscarriage of justice and unless my daughter can drum up lots of money,that’s a joke cps worker claims daughter not only takes drugs but sells them,she could have a good defense.Public defense a joke. If I had money to fly out there and hire a gungho lawyer I know my daughter would win.This is a digrace to humankind. I just pray a lot.

I am a child currently placed within CPS custody. My grandmother has her rights still, thank God, but my dad’s rights were terminated. I understand that as a child, I (and others,) have no voice to speak out against all this cruelty within the money-hungry system of CPS. It’s getting ridiculous now. I can’t see my grandmother except maybe Christmas, and rarely get to use a phone to call her. This is no family. All of us in this home are isolated, and independent. I’m only 15, but I’m smart enough to look for help. God Bless you all for trying to help us. I just wish I wasn’t placed in CPS custody and treated like property. Thank you all.
Comment by M — January 11, 2010 @ 10:12 am
my husband and i met in 2000 at the time he was married with a 1 y.o. son. in 2002 he filed for divorce and requested 50/50 custody of his son. WOW not 2 months later his ex. went to cps and claimed he was sexually abusing? her daughter. (question mark because he was never told the specific claim). his ex then goes to family court and says i have to get a restraining order because cps says if i don’t they will take my children away from me. order granted. then i have cps interviewing MY children (not his or hers) i call and set up interview with cps worker she comes to my house and is concerned that i don’t know this “new man” in my life and that he is possibly preying on ready made families. boy was she surprised to find out i knew him for 2 years before he moved in with me. so i show her copies of the crazy letters the ex liked to leave on our cars. she took a copy of the one that said “i will be using this situation to keep control of my son”. go back to court for the restraining order and the cps worker doesn’t even show up. court has to call her and is told that the claim was “indeterminable” WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? restraining order dropped. ex was granted primary custody (sits on welfare) court mediator says our apartment was too small to have 50/50 custody but ex had same size apartment with more people living in it. who says dads have more rights now-a-days? so we purchase an AFFORDABLE house out of state eventually move. we pay child support have visitation and are constantly listening to the exs drama. 5 plus evictions, still on welfare-jobless (i’m sorry but by choice!). twice we’ve picked up child covered in lice (1st time she didn’t even tell us) we found out in hotel room when he wouldn’t stop itching had 1 INCH louse fall on the floor. she doesn’t take him to dr. on regular basis, check ups etc. we picked him up with a u.t.i and a yeast infection. we took him to dentist because she doesnt have the children brush their teeth and he had 2 rotten adult teeth at 10 y.o. had to have fillings and sealants. (500.00 plus) there were so many cavities dds said let the ones on the baby teeth fall out (all of these events are spread out between 2004 when we moved and 2009) Not knowing what to do and she refused to let him stay with us even the 2 times she was homeless and lived in motels 1 room for 5 people. I called cps on 2 different occasions and asked if they could look out for the children. the untreated uti and yeast infection(possible sexual abuse?) was one call. and no utilities was the other. took her to court and ref to the cps calls. court mediator calls cps and tells our lawyer “cps says they have a indetermined sex abuse case against your client. did you know that? cps is the eyes in the back of my head”. in 2009 cps had 5 calls made against the ex. since i admit to making 1 of them mediator implies i made all of them. i have had it with the san joaquin county family courts and cps they are leaving a defenseless child in substandard living conditions and why? so he can stay on welfare and become another statistic? what happened to guilty or not guilty? this indetermined charge is false made up by a vindictive ex wife to keep custody of her child (so she can get a welfare check). cps didn’t send any paperwork regarding the charge nor will they release info to us as to what the charge specifically was. the police interviewed my husband and they won’t release the report either. any suggestions?
Comment by leslie a — January 11, 2010 @ 10:54 am
I just found this site. I don’t know where to really start my life right now is a nightmare I googled corrupt cps and found this site. We need your prayers and the prayers of your friends. MY husband and I are foster parents we got our licence back in aug 2009 we have a biological 2yr old beautiful little girl. SHE IS OUR WORLD! I have wanted to be a foster parent ever since i was a little girl to help children in need. Anyway we got our first placements 2 little girls 6yr and 5 months they have been physically abused. they came into care when the 1 month old was rushed to the hospital with a fractured skull claiming the child had fell (YEAH RIGHT) the story the parents made up did not match the fact she had a broken rib arm and leg as previous injuries. So they got brought to us we had them for 2 months things going great then the 5month old began to seize and called 911. Did what we knew to do she ended up having emergency brain surgery. then 3 days later they said they would no longer be in my home because they need special care and we are just basic the next night at 130am there was a knock at my door but when i called the police i was told it was a mistake then the next day cps wanted to talk to us which i was told was normal but that is when they told us we have to give our child to them we can pick the home she in and have unlimted visits supervised or they will take her and we would see her 1 hr a week. We chose the less dramatic for my daughter she has never been away from me no day care no nursery or babysitters no one but me and my husband. When I asked why they said this child has new injurys that has to be from abuse the crazy thing is the father who did this the reason they are in care was by the bedside at the hospital and no charges have been filed against him. Know they are tearing my family apart they have had her since early dec. they are trying to acuse us of shaking baby syndrome. we did get a lawyer but they are really just draging there feet they have told me for 3 weeks we are waiting on a certain dr now they say we were not waiting on a dr we are waiting on you to take a liar detective test. please anyone that has advise please write me and please please please pray for us i havent told my parents or my husbands they are in another state and we are trying to avoid them worring about something they cant change
Comment by Mrs. C — January 11, 2010 @ 4:14 pm
Yes Linda I am in the process of giving my sister power of attorney over my children as we speak.
That is where my son went when all this took place last year, well after the initial day when they removed them from me, he had to spend 4 days in foster care while my sister was being checked out.
Thanks for asking
Tina
Comment by Tina — January 11, 2010 @ 5:35 pm
CPS has been walking all over my mother. They call her and make fun of her. They blame her for something she was not a part of. What can we do? Its ridiculous that this has gotten the way it has. They lie and make things up. Thought they were there for the benefit of the children.
Comment by Lene — January 11, 2010 @ 10:58 pm
Ugh, my foster mother is no where near a mother, or even parental figure. More like a staff member of some facility. It’s like we’re serving time until we are 18. This is pretty much hell. All of the belongings that my family gave me (besides clothes and shoes,) are in my foster parents’ room. I don’t even know my case worker. My phone (which I pay for) is never in my possession. My laptop is rarely usable. How do they expect us to become individuals like this?
Comment by M — January 12, 2010 @ 9:45 am
Can anyone tell me why a court would decide a motion for custody without a hearing. My motion for custody of my grandkids was denied without a hearing on Dec,10th and I didn’t find out about the 45 day deadline to appeal until today from my lawyer. My lawyer told me she doesn’t handle appeals and wouldn’t give me the name of a lawyer who does. Parents rights were terminated. There is much more to this story but I am too sad and tired too write anymore right now. I feel like my lawyer screwed me.
Comment by lilypearl — January 12, 2010 @ 11:10 pm
I got 2 girls and they were living with me peacefully after separation from my wife. All of a sudden she came with CPS lr and took my daughters away. Now I’m seeing them once in every week and I feel very guilty for getting separation for silly things. We are grown up adult and we can face the world but what about the kids. We are fixing our children fate. Now I’m in a state to live with my wife.. for my daughters.
Comment by Erik — January 13, 2010 @ 9:09 am
(as cont from above)
Dear Linda
That seems to be exactly the case! You sure know what you’re talking about.
I emailed her and she responded saying my case was being closed, along with some kind words about my son being beautiful etc etc and that’s that… So far!
I met her only once and that is when she first came to ….”investigate” my son’s incense burn on his arm, which was reported by his head start. I was quickly turned off for several reasons. First, her approach, which was condescending, and accusing. Second, the fact that I was truly innocent, and the burn… IT … HAPPENS…. Duh!!!
She started asking me for my doctor information… MY doctor information. And inquiring whether or not i had any mental disorders …. In exactly those words. Then she had the gal to call forth my therapist. For whom, (the therapist) I promptly lost respect for.
My instinct was very strong and alarming, that something about this was just plain WRONG. I followed that intuition, got up and told her the meeting is over. You may leave. She gave me facial expressions like….. surprised/vindictive/motivated. I told her, more adamantly, to get out.
Half an hour later, she brought the police, warned me that she was about to take my child if I did not cooperate. Her first question was, “Now. that doctor’s name please.” (my doctor)
I cooperated. She left. The following morning I went to his school OUTRAGED. I said, they were about to take my son FOR WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I burst into tears. What are my rights?!?!?!?!??????????????? The school felt for me and agreed it was out of line, and encouraged me to call cps to make a report. The very person who reported me. What do you think of that?
Anyway. I’m just sharing this story for other mothers to read. I have zero zero zero respect for the cps. They’re so WRONG.
Comment by rose — January 13, 2010 @ 10:21 am
Linda,
Also I do not plan to contact her again. My only worry is this. What if she is keeping my case open for some devious reason? That by law, if my case remains open for a certain amount of time, something specific may happen.
Example: Upon reading your website, I caught something about, if you are not able to get your child back by 2 years, it becomes automatically legitimate to adopt out the child.
I dont know the laws. But it doesnt matter. THEY should follow the laws. This is fucked up.
Also, I agree whole heartily that CHILD ABUSE IS A CRIME, anyway!!! So what purpose do they serve? How peeving.
Comment by rose — January 13, 2010 @ 10:34 am
This is exactly why I feel the state of CA sucks! I left 2 years ago because of their CPS system allowing things to happen to my daughter (& her siblings) while in her mom’s care, and because her mom “passed” their program, she was allowed to keep her children (and because of that, still has my daughter’s siblings-not my children-). My daughter has been assaulted 3 times while in the care of her mother, I removed my daughter from the house in 2008, and am fighting tooth and nail to not only prove my daughter was “actually” assaulted, but as to why her mom isn’t fit to have her in her possession. Believe me, there is a string of other things that warrant my daughter’s mother to be an unfit mother (like the 10 inch thick CPS folder the judge pulls out before we go up before her), and the fact that my daughter receives counseling, & therapy (as well as takes medication for her severe anxiety, fear, and depression resulted from her time with her mother and her assaults) seems to be for no reason what so ever huh? Basically the child has to be either near dead, or dead before CPS will get involved!! I know it’s not law enforcements fault (as I’ve been working with several detectives and such over my daughter’s ordeal) since they can obviously do so much (and even with physical proof, like in this case, they still can’t do anything about it apparently). The CPS system is a sick joke, all because this pathetic state would rather worry more about paying their political leaders top dollar, and less about fixing a severe budget crisis, thus caring less for the citizens and residents of it’s own state… thanks for absolutely nothing!!!
Comment by Mike Elwood-Kingman, AZ — January 13, 2010 @ 3:53 pm
(((Lilypearl))) You’re right about the defective lawyer! If it were me I’d drive to the nearest Court of Appeals TOMORROW and get the paperwork to file. And start looking for a legal malpractice attorney.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 13, 2010 @ 11:59 pm
(((Erik))) I hope you can make this situation turn out right! Depending on what your wife’s complaint to CPS was about, the CPS worker may detain the kids if you move back in with your wife. Proceed carefully!
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 14, 2010 @ 12:01 am
Rose, you have your son so PLEASE quit worrying about this! Count your blessings! You’re very lucky – I’ve heard of people losing their kids for less than that, but it probably helped that you were honest and up front about what happened.
Yes, there’s a law that if a child is in foster care for 15 out of 18 months, parental rights can be terminated. But parents get opportunities before that to get their children back. The most important is at the immediate onset of a case, if a parent is strong and demands a trial rather than pleading guilty to charges. Keep that in mind if it ever happens to you.
CPS is a scourge upon our nation (and on many other countries in the world) but most parents don’t have to endure this torture. I hope you are one who will always have custody of your dear children.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 14, 2010 @ 12:09 am
Rose, if the caseworker said the case is closed then I would contact your state capitol’s CPS office to receive a copy of your report.
Comment by MaggieC — January 14, 2010 @ 7:59 am
To all of you on here, this is the best site to get yourself armed with the information you need to stay on top of their evil ways. Please take full advantage of all of it. It can make a world of difference in the outcome of your case.
Stay strong and focused don’t let them beat you down thats exactly what they are trying to do (beat you down make you hopeless and tired)
Don’t fall in that trap this is possibly the biggest most important fight you will ever face in your life and your children are depending on you!
So, learn EVERYTHING you can!
I stayed up many, many nights reading and arming myself with info that would help me get my children back and 99% of it came from this site!
I (thank god) have my children back and their (cps) statement to that was “This is the earliest we have ever seen children return home”
If any of you know what cps calls a Team Meeting then you know that one thing they all focus on at one point in this meeting is YOU make sure they are saying these same things about you that they said in mine like I was resourceful, determined, outspoken, and positive things like that. Don’t ever talk to them without keeping records of it rather it be through E-mail, record it, or at very least keep thorough notes of everytime you speak to them!
Good luck to all and god bless you
Tina

Comment by leslie a. — January 15, 2010 @ 8:02 am
Misty, perhaps they believe that since you haven’t started divorcing your husband, you’ll reunite with him if the children were returned and case closed. As far as grandparents not getting kinship care rights, you can file for a state administrative hearing. Go to your law library and read the social services regulations there. Get a copy of the regulation saying that relatives get first chance, before fosterers. Photocopy that and take it with you to the hearing. Take the willing grandparents to the hearing too. Tell the administrative law judge what’s happening. I’m not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice… it is just to tell you what I’d be doing if it happened to me.

Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 15, 2010 @ 8:12 pm
I dont know where to begin. I have a 3 month old granddaughter. CPS has stuck their nose in. It started when my granddaughter rolled off the couch and was taken to the emergency room.The police was called and investigation was started because they thought her dad did it. It was ruled an accident and then case was closed. His family decided that they think he did do it (I don’t think he did it) shoved her off the couch. Now the family gets the dumb idea to call cps and report domestic and sexual abuse. Cps comes out has my granddaughter checked out and informs my daughter that they may make them take parenting classes and family counseling, ( we wont know that decision til this Friday. His family is doing this to be vindictive, but my daughter is on pins and needles wondering the outcome. What I want to know is, is she REQUIRED to take these classes in order for my granddaughter to stay in her Mothers custody?
Comment by Renee — January 19, 2010 @ 8:09 pm
Renee, technically they can’t force the parents to do anything unless they get a court order. The problem with that is that if the parents refuse the classes and counseling, CPS agents are likely to decide to go get a court order, and may even detain the child because of the refusal to cooperate. It is essential to get an attorney if at all possible. The one most helpful thing they can to to avoid further trouble is to retain competent legal counsel that is committed to fighting CPS interference in the family.
I know that’s expensive, but at this stage in the game an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Friends of the coalition:

that a proper filing can be made. We need all
information. If there is any information that we do not
ask for on the following survey, please feel free to

Larry & Courtney, read as much as you can on this site and others like it. Collect evidence. Keep a notebook! Keep us informed of what’s going on… preferably on the message board here. All the best to you!

I am here in loving memory of my sister…a wonderful mother who had her children removed from her for drug addiction although the children were never neglected. She endured a year of hell, her job wasn’t good enough, her living with me wasn’t good enough, you name it…all the while she was sober and clean. I lost her to an accidental shooting on 10-25-09 at 29 years old. Her children became orphans, luckily their dads are in their lives. She was intoxicated and just wanted to drive (her friend had the keys and didn’t want her to get a DUI). She grabbed a loaded gun and put it to her head saying she just wanted the keys. It went off mid sentence. She was so desperate for control over something so little as her keys because she couldn’t do anything. She would have more freedom and understanding in jail in my opinion. She was a wonderful person and I vow to get justice. I found a wonderful, wonderful petition online that thought you all might want to sign.

Thank you Ryann… I’m so sorry about what happened to your sister. CPS is torture.

Casey, if I were you I’d be looking for a new place to live… or keep your kids indoors and out of sight of the neighbors. I used to take my children to playgrounds all the time, every single day – sometimes twice or three times a day. They never ran around outside our home until they were much older.
About CPS – yes, they can take your kids away for nothing at all just by filling a social worker’s court report with lies and exaggerations. I hope you can get a lawyer to handle this for you ASAP… and get out of that neighborhood because obviously someone there hates you (probably someone with mental problems) and is willing for your kids to suffer.
