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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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









Bad Child Protective Services agents deserve to be sued.

January 14: Non-Custodial Parents Appreciation Day

Non-custodial parents have such a difficult path to walk. They miss their children like crazy, have to send child support to the other parent monthly (or to the county!) and often the children are brainwashed into hating them. That’s what happened to me, with one of my children - my middle daughter.

My husband and his girlfriend had control of two of my children, did everything they could to shut me out of their lives, and caused me years of intense grief. Worse, they trained my daughter to hate me, and even now, many years later, she still hasn’t talked to me in any kind of loving daughter-to-mother way. She’s now 29.

So you non-custodial parents who are suffering grief because your children are with the other parent, or with foster parents, or have aged out and now hate you due to PAS (Parental Alienation Syndrome) . . . this is a special day for you. A day of appreciation and love.

Appreciation and love? You may be wondering if your child will ever be able to love and appreciate you. The problem is complex and doesn’t start with your child. If your child has been ripped from your loving embrace, and brainwashed by being given positive feedback for expressing negativity about you, the child isn’t likely to be the first one to recover from the experience. It is essential that non-custodial parents are able to love and appreciate themselves. We can also appreciate each other because we’re aware of the pain this entails.

Do something good for yourself today. Here’s a few ideas: start a journal if you don’t have one going yet. Start writing poetry about your missing child. Take walks to help work out your feelings. Leave a prayer request on my prayer request page which will signal me to pray for you for the next thirty days. Be gentle on yourself, even when others are cruel. You can get through this, and things will get better, of that I am sure.

This is the first Non-Custodial Parents Day ever. I chose it because it is my daughter’s 29th birthday. I couldn’t face writing her name on my calendar another year, knowing she doesn’t care about me one bit. PAS is heart-wrenching! So this year when I looked at my January calendar I wrote “Mother Appreciation Day” . . . and then I thought, why not make it a day for ALL non-custodial parents?

Please spread this message far and wide to other parents who are missing their children. Give them my love, and my appreciation for the strength they show in the face of extreme ignorance and traumatizing cruelty.

(Yes, you can copy and paste this post - I want everyone to know that we’ve got our own day now. I’d very much appreciate if you would give a link back to FightCPS: http://www.fightcps.com)

Have a great day.

  1. My grandson Noah was taken from his mother because of false allogations of child abuse and kept because his mother, my adopted daughter, had psych issues during her teen years. She was adopted from an orphanage where she was neglected and abused and worse. She turned her life around but trusted the wrong person to give her some time off as she is a single parent. Noah was only 6 weeks old when he was taken over a month ago. Please pray for my daughter to stay strong and want to stay connected as it is extremely painful to do so. Please pray for wisdom and strength for myself. Please pray for the trial with Dhs Oregon coming up 2/12. Also pray that her attorney will stay on top of what is going on. Thanks

  2. We need laws to protect children first.
    We need laws for parents to do what is best for their children.
    We need laws to hold those in the power seats accountable too!!!!!

  4. I think a Non-custodial Parent Day is a wonderful idea!

    Comment by Elizabeth — January 14, 2010 @ 5:44 pm




  5. on july 15th 2009 I told my 14 year old sons guardian i was going to petition the court to regain custody of my son. I should have never told her my plan. I went to court on august 11th and she had filed a petition also asking for permission to move to ohio.

    the judge said my petition would have to be heard on another date and gave the guardian permission to move saying have a nice life. I was devastated. 6 days later he was on a train and gone to ohio. I got to see him the day before he left for 30 minutes. I wasnt invited to the train station but i went there anyway. when he got on the train i was crying so hard i couldnt catch my breath i thought i was going to die then i wished i was dead the pain was beyond any pain i felt before i cryed for 3 days straight.

    my sons guardian is my ex daughter in law and she moved to alienate me some more from my son she is holding my son hostage for a social security check he recieves in the amount of 1,100.000 . when my son was placed with her she promised me she would return my son to me when the case closed knowing i was innocent of any wrong doing. but as soon as the case closed she would not answer any of my calls or return any of my calls.

    from july 2008 until she left on august 16th 2009 I had that one 30 minute visit. she would tell my son that he cant see me until hes 18. and if he goes behind her back and sees me she will find out and she will send him back to foster care.

    my son was beat up by a foster moms son he was 16 and her nephew who was 17 who the foster mom paid for him to come to california from new orleans. to beat my son up and the foster moms ex husband all of them beat my son because he told the foster mom he didnt want to be adopted by her then i was refused visits with my son for i month until all his wounds healed. my son is afraid to even talk to me on the phone.

    I miss him so much im heart broken. when i call him i feel like he is afraid of me. i dont feel like he even cares if he talks to me any more. the pain i feel im alone in it. its hard for my freinds to be around there is nothing no one can say or do to help me feel better. and there is nothing i can do to make me or my son stop feeling this pain.

    DCFS has to be stopped. I pray for all the parents who suffer as i do. keep the faith dont give up. I pray for my son to return home to me when he is 18 . god bless all of u

  6. Sandra, you, your daughter and grandson are now on my prayer list for the next thirty days.

    Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 14, 2010 @ 9:44 pm




  7. Kari, so very true, we need laws to protect children. If only states would stop following the bad federal laws, states could enact better family protection laws. I’m in favor of the state sovereignty movement.

  8. Angela, thank YOU!

  9. Elizabeth, I’m glad you like the idea of Non Custodial Parents Day. We deserve a lot better than what we got.

    Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 14, 2010 @ 11:17 pm




  10. Patricia, I hope you went back to court about custody. I feel so sad for you and your son. It is so wrong for an adult to stand between a good and loving parent and their child. The adults who separate you are probably greedy and deluded. There’s so much ignorance in the world, causing so much intense heartache.

    Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 14, 2010 @ 11:37 pm




  11. Patricia, I know ,there are no words,the pain is everywhere and always ,but if you plan ahead,educate yourself as best as possible , use the system against those who misused it against you and your son. Try ,if you can afford it,Dr.Fred Graves,JD Jurisdictionary, the address is http://www.Jurisdictionary.com. out of Stuart,Florida, it costs $300, its a series of CD’s and audio tapes which should help you to file a law suits and present your facts. There may be other different similar self-help instructions. Once you get into a law suit, the things start to clear up for you in many ways, as a pro se you should get some help from the court and the Creator.

    I have read somewhere that the law suits filed by the parents whose kids were stolen have risen by 265%, I wish there were at least two more zeros behind that figure!

    The basic premise in maintaining this this CPS terror bubble is that people-parents give up, and follow, what they then think will be the easiest way out, to cooperate with the devil. We have all been there, we cooperated and they cheated us again, we cooperated because we are the only ones who have the BEST INTERESTS OF CHILDREN in our hearts!! It was not a mistake under the circumstances, because if your children are kidnapped, you don’t know why,who has them, what do they want from you, they declare the intent to adopt them out - every law enforcement expert would tell you - yes,cooperate until we catch the bad guys, and in this case the criminal is misusing the law. It has to be pointed out to everybody who has a moral fibre left in their body, it is beyond personal tragedy but your best shot will influence the outcome of your future also.

    One of the main current problems we are faced with when we want to respond to this gross violence against us and our kids,is that all law suits so far are in civil case category, meaning that the final remedy, if you should win, will be a sum of taxpayers money and not a prison times or public whipping for these monsters gathered at CPS offices. The criminal case, charging them with felonies (which they commit as matter of daily business) can only originate from a District Attorney’s office, and those are so far very rare.

    Once a single CPS ”worker’ enters a Federal Penetentiary with 25 to life sentence for kidnapping,perjury, endangerment of a child, neglect of public duties - this whole chapter will close in six months.And I wish it would not close that fast, so half of them can go to serve some time in prison, so it can be written on the CPS tombstone for all to read.

    I have a Federal law suit in a District Court in Sacramento,CA and I have learned a lot in two years its been on. We all have Constitutional Rights as citizens of this Republic ,your son has rights ,as Jefferson wrote: ”The people are the only true guardians of their own rights’, and of course it is not only about our First, Fourth, Ninth, Fourteen Amendment, in state court you have Common Law stating that every person is in general responsible for welfare of his fellow humans. Makes perfect sense when the law is not abused. Everybody, no exceptions, is liable for breech of Const. Rights under 42 U.S.C. 1983,1985, no immunity to the wicked!! But we have to fight for it! To protect the family and the children is clearly expressed in the Fourteen Amendment , in numerous Supreme Court decisions and dozens of case laws. And it is not at all surprising that it is so, it’s just that these slimy reptilian bastards in service of who knows what got used to getting away with murder, even my judge was afraid of them in juvenile case.

    Anyways, if you need anything mail me at ‘vonleubner[@]netzero.com’ or call me at 707- 279 4843

    Comment by Brittany Bishop — January 17, 2010 @ 9:06 pm




  14. Brittany, what a sad story. My heart goes out to you. Please take care of yourself; you deserve better than you got from life.

    Comment by LindaJoMartin — January 18, 2010 @ 2:52 am




  15. Brittany, this is happening all too often and CPS has carte blanche when it comes to doing what they want. (meaning a blank check to do with what ever they want).

    Often children are taken OUT OF STABLE LOVING HOMES, and put INTO ABUSIVE HOMES in the disguise of what is called “the best interest of the child”. The truth is that these workers have employment with “absolute immunity” from any prosecution or law suit and can do what they want, when they want with NO one to answer to. I am trying to put together several groups who’s only purpose will be to change the laws as well as remove the immunity of those that are not obeying our laws.

    Please read my site and email me

    (email address is on the site)

    Comment by robert — February 7, 2010 @ 3:37 am




  16. Robert, caseworker immunity isn’t a given. There have been court cases that resulted in judgments against caseworkers.

    Of course they would like you to think that and I’ve heard it from the lips of a caseworker who tried to tell me she couldn’t be sued. (Not true.)

    Comment by LindaJoMartin — February 8, 2010 @ 9:27 pm




  17. Is there any help for non-custodial parents?

    I spent all of my salary, lost my home, my job and everything I have from my car to my possessions and even my child.

    It has been 1 1/2 years since my ex divorced me and over a year since I have seen my child.

    He was kidnapped by my ex’s married boyfriend and taken out of state before any custody hearings.

    Any advice to a father that has almost given up on ever seeing his baby son again?

    Comment by John — February 22, 2010 @ 6:51 pm




  18. John, all you can do is go to court again - and if you know what state your child is in, that’s the state to do it. If you have visitation rights your ex is in violation of a court order.

    Comment by LindaJoMartin — February 23, 2010 @ 9:56 am




  19. I love this movement. Everyone needs to see the petition that has started to demand change and help Non-Custodial Parents that do what’s right. Please visit

    Comment by Al Holland Jr — February 26, 2010 @ 6:03 pm




  20. It’s not just noncustodial parents that deal with this stuff. I’m a custodial parent with 3 kids and the noncustodial parent has filed a very false cps report against me and is trying to brainwash the kids against me. I have never interfered with my kids’ relationship with their father and have actually encouraged and supported it. He is free to see the kids at any time not only on his court ordered days and has chosen NOT to see them more. He has a history of nonsupport. I am now battling cps and I hope it will be over soon! I feel for anyone custodial or noncustodial that has to deal with a false report like this.
