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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

Fighting Child Protective Services False Accusations
May 16, 2011
It is time to network together to get class action lawsuits against CPS going in all fifty states, and in other countries too. Today at the FightCPS Message Board Forum the topic came up again. So many people want to be involved in class action lawsuits, but most don’t know how to get them started.
We can and must coordinate our efforts! Today I created a new section on the message board especially for class action lawsuit information. I’m asking for at least fifty volunteer coordinators, one for each state in the USA. Each state needs their own class action lawsuit going against CPS injustice.
We need to fight back on issues like the destruction of families so states can qualify for adoption bonuses, and the drugging of children so adopters and foster parents can get more money out of the system. We need to tell them that “reasonable efforts” means REAL reasonable efforts to keep families together!
Are you with me on this?
Today I created a new page at Squidoo.Com about this: How to Start a Class Action Lawsuit. Please read it and if you can, watch the video that explains how to get these lawsuits started.
If you’re moved to volunteer, let us know at the message board forum… in both the class action lawsuits message area, and in your state’s section of the message board. (Or country, if you’re outside of the USA.) This is to help you find others who want to participate to PUT CPS IN ITS PLACE.
These government agents need to stand down and LEAVE FAMILIES ALONE and LET US LIVE IN PEACE INSTEAD OF FEAR.
If you’re ready to help make this happen in every state, especially yours, let us know!
Some of the steps to creating a class action lawsuit against CPS for your state are:
1. Clarify what your specific issues are.
2. Find others in your state with the exact same issues in recent years.
3. Choose someone to be the lead litigant against CPS.
4. Interview lawyers and identify one with a zeal to make CPS stop persecuting and destroying families.
The lawyer, once you choose him or her, should be able to guide you from there.
 
I will order and read this book on Class Actions and Other Multi-Party Litigation and I hope you’ll get a copy and read along with me. Let’s find out what it really takes the stop the USA’s evil and unjust child welfare laws from hurting any more families.
We have to be the ones to take on the beast and wrestle it to the ground – because seriously, do you see anyone else available to do it? We are apparently chosen to do this work, and I’m dedicated to letting the FightCPS website (and all the traffic it gets) be used to coordinate these efforts to find justice seekers who have been victimized by CPS child welfare services agents, cruel laws, ignorant legislators who won’t help stop the horror, and social services agencies around the world.
Again, most of the networking has to take place on our Message Board Forum. If you haven’t registered there yet, please do so! We need everyone’s help to make the CPS traumatization of children and their families end. Start or join a class action lawsuit against CPS today!

Looking at the most successful case that which changed Alabama around you need a child needing services that could be provided at home but which the state agency doesn’t provide – generally that child will be mentally challenged and therefore the state is discriminating against him. Another issue you may want to contest is the lack of due process: the cases are supposedly civil cases but frequently at the outset one side is allowed to change the status quo without providing a counter balancing bond for the damage that may cause, further courts require parents to enter into service contracts that have no surety bond on the agency’s part. Also helpful would be to find a case where the agency tampered with the child’s testimony (by conducting a lengthy interview usually at school). On a class action suit the plaintiffs should be realistic about the actual damages any parent or child will receive in cash. Of course you can enhance the chance that money if in a settlement where the state agrees to change its practices that they post large surety bonds for each practice to be changed by a certain date.

Linda, I would love a copy of that book also,…Where can I find it?
I agree that we should all file lawsuits all at the same time, and use the reasons that our children were taken as well. If we can focus on bringing down the lame excuses for which our children were removed, perhaps Federal/State laws could change in our favor. For those that have been in the fight long enough, we should know, with little help, on filing our lawsuits. This corruption needs to be reigned in and we shall demand for our government to listen to us! Linda, you may post my e-mail so that those that want to be incl. with my lawsuit may. – JAM

I’m in for Colorado. I was accused of child abuse by some faking to be a CPS worker more then once. Never did they check her credentails or why she wanted my child whom she did not know.

They like to hide behing this “immunity” thing,
Perjury is a feloney, and the abuse of use of power will stop with a massive class-action lawsuit. The leaders of our country need to be made aware of the antics of this group. The prosecuting attourney’s offices need to be called out for the waste of tax dollars being used to assist this group in the slandering of innocent people and the taking of children for nothing more than personal power-trip

What woul happen if every body stold theyer own children back at the same time. It would definately make national news and get a free attorney appointed for case coming back into court. What do think of this crazy idea? We would definately get attention.
Comment by nancy drew — May 22, 2011 @ 4:40 pm
They took my 11 year old daughter all based on rumors. She is healthy, well taken care of, loved, fed, clothed, tucked into bed every night by me. They asked for a drug test, I passed, there were no arrests made, NOTHING to substantiate their claims. My PD told me it was useless to fight it. I want my child, I cannot see her unsupervised! I have never even raised a voice to her! I adore my child, she adores me. People always say how wonderful and well mannered she is, shes a STATE ranked gymnast! How could she accomplish THAT if I were neglecting her? I have raised her alone since birth! I got a small town lynching. My cps case worker even called herself a baby snatcher!!! Please help!!!
Comment by Chris — May 24, 2011 @ 2:40 pm
@ Nancy Drew: This website never suggests any illegal means of dealing with CPS. If you’re in jail you won’t be there to help your child get out of CPS custody. It is idealistic to think you could get a huge number of parents to take back their children by force all at one time. I honestly think people are more likely to get their children back by (1) creating better lives for themselves and their children, and (2) filing legal documents and documentary evidence with the court, and if possible finding expert witnesses to testify on their behalf…

Chris, have you registered at the message board for feedback on your case? I hope this site can help you get your daughter back!

I have my 2y/o granndson right now until mom finds her a house. The father strangled my daughter in front of my 13 yo and the baby. He had a no contact order and he contacted my daughter the day after. He got out of jail and threatened to kill her himself and the baby and the cps worker had knowledge of this did not report it to his PO and still tried to set up visiting for him. She would notgive me PO number or director numbe.he also called me over 20 times trying to get info about my daughter

Hello, I left my 4 month old and 5 year old with my 26 year old-8th mth pregnant Sister to go to the Mall. My Sister fell asleep and assumed I came back when she woke up. She said that she yelled upstairs to me that she was leaving and left. My 5 year old daughter went outside and someone called the police. CPS came to my home and took both children and also went to the schools of my other 3 children (15,13,9) and took them. I’ve been fighting to get my children back since 12/09. They’ve been split up and are now living all over the place. I’ve done everything I was suppose to do and have records to prove. CPS goes to Court and tell lies after lies after lies. We had a fact-finding hearing in the beginning of the year, the judge saw right through the lying case-working and they lost funding for the 6 months he was on the case. I still haven’t gotten my children back…please help.
Comment by Aminah — June 10, 2011 @ 8:03 am
please dear people who care enough to fight. we are fighting against the degraded american culture, which is so criminalized that they cannot see they are the problem that theyre looking for the solution to. i mean that education to know what our real fathers who wrote the constitution wanted for us. they would never have concieved of the day where children are taken from their homes/parents and forced into strangers homes. the children are in such an experience of danger that i worry if their scars can be healed. i feel so sorry for those who have gone through what i have, and would love to connect and galvanize our force for love for children to create a world for our children to grow up in that that can be grateful for, and not feel like an object, or sold to the highest bidder. i feel this is child slavery and kidnapping. it defies all that parents know to be true that they are the primary definer, teacher, and protector for their children. and our government should now start feeling alot of shame for theirselves. people pray with me that our nation will start to feel ashamed of theirselves and begin to repent of these atheistic actions, the fear based faithless social workers be fired.

Comment by Norman Anderson — July 12, 2011 @ 6:17 am
I just now discovered this message. It explains why I have been seeing so many people excited about getting a Class Action going.
Just so happens, Linda Martin and I were into the last Class Action attempt in 2003. It was blown out of the water when our lawyer-friend Barbara Johnson was disbarred by the Massachusetts Board of Overseers.
Of course we suspect that disbarment was because of the Class Action.
I still have the graphic Linda Martin created for THAT effort, and it’s just as useful today as it was 8 years ago- http://familyrights.us/campaigns/johnson/intake.html
Anyway, if a Class Action is seriously going to get underway, I am certainly interested in promoting it.
I am one of the few people who understand the massive management problems of a Class Action.

Comment by george — August 21, 2011 @ 10:44 pm
This is the story for my son Chris who is 15 months old complete ACC, Hypotonia, Encephalitis, True undescended testis, Hydrocephalus, VP shunt. It is a mouth full but I have learn to live with it. Just like his name: Christopher Giovanni Von Duynn. It is as longer then alphabet. Just like his disorder I had no choice in picking his name.
Chris was born to a Latin mother and a Black Father on May 10,2010 at 2:56am in Arlington, Texas and weight was 6.8lbs. The first six weeks of his life dictated the path we are on now. Chris had above average prenatal care. More than a dozen visits and more than a dozen sonograms done.
First lets begin with Chris mothers and fathers health history. His mother was type 2 diabetic and just prior to conceiving she had a staph infection. His father had a mild case of Holt Oram a hand heart disease, and Hypertension.
Even with that history Chris is a child suffering from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. His mother was not an alcoholic but was binge drinking with in the beginning stages of pregnancy. Although there are a lot of other factor that play into the final outcome. Alcohol was a significant factor. Normally child born to a diabetic mother have what we call big baby syndromes. Chris was born under 8.5lbs. Chris was also born full term 39 weeks and still both testis were found by sonogram near his kidneys. Which puzzled doctors, do to his father not having any family history of it and also being a Black male. It is known in the medical world that it is more likely for a White male then a Black male or even an Asian male to have testicular cancer. With corrective surgery this would put Chris at a higher risk of testicular cancer.
On the surface Chris looks normal but did have some settle uncommon facial features. After further genetic testing, the results show no genetic mutations found between mother or father. All test results came back normal. It is common among children and adults with ACC to have some mutated gene weather it be a deleted or duplicated gene. It is also common to find a genetic mutation between father and son with undescended testis but none were found.
Although no one knows for sure what causes ACC, there is a list of causes in Chris case.
Mother was issued medication prior to pregnancy and mother continued use of these medications. Medication are all give a pregnancy rating from what is least to greatest harmful to fetus. Chris’s mother was give a generic form of metformin. It is used to treat type 2 diabetics an helps to control blood sugar. Treatment is combined with diet and exercise. After prenatal visit she was switched to an insulin to control the blood sugar levels. She was also given an antibiotic for treatment of staph infection. She also under went Lazar surgery for staph infection and was also given an anti-depressant for the large scars left after surgery.
Also Chris mother claim to have been on birth control named NuvaRing.
The combination of these medication and alcohol caused many of the multiple mutation Chris has to live with today.
Currently he is unable to crawl, roll over, walk, speak. He has eye site problems and breathing issues.
The issues at hand is hospital don’t want to be stuck with a huge medical bill that is incurred with children of fetal alcohol disorders. Chris was born at MCA Woman’s Center, and released three days after birth with a brain abscess and shaking with multiple mutation undiagnosed. After his release doctor appointments were set every three months. Surgery for undescended testis occurred Dec of 2010 even though a cysts was discovered Aug of 2010. The cysts were not removed until Aug 29, 2011 after they have increased in size. A VP shunt was installed the week after. Between the time of Oct 24,2010 and July 6, 2011. Chris only gain 3lbs. He is currently at the weight of 17lbs at 15 month.
Chris is getting therapy once a month through ECI. He has a long list of doctors and a long list of problems, which include second degree burn, lesions,blisters etc.
CPS is also involved and legal litigation in family courts continues. A pile of medical bills and legal bills grow and Chris is left behind in his development. He is 15 months wearing size 3 in pampers and at about 6 month development stage. Long term out look: Chris’s health and quality of life is only as good as his medical team and will be totally dependent on his parents. Where does it end.
Comment by Ethan — September 18, 2011 @ 7:56 am
I live in Texas. Ellis County CPS took my kids away almost 7 years ago. The reason: my house was dirty! I had 6 kids at the time. Now, if you have 6 kids running around, what do you expect?! At that time, the ages were 10, 9, 7, 5, 2, and about 6 months. No drugs or abuse or any accusations of either! Just because my house was dirty! At the time, I was also going to college to try to make a better life for my kids! Their father is a lazy pig and never lifted a finger to help! His excuse was that he worked! So the hell what! Most fathers have jobs and they come home and help at least a little around the house! I got my kids, 2 at a time, back for a short time. I did everything I was told to do. Well, they came and harassed me almost every week after I got my kids back even after the case was over! Then they found out I was pregnant and after I had all 6 kids back, not even 3 months later, they came and took my kids away, again! My house was not even that dirty this time! Then they used this to take my newborn away as soon as he was born! Just because they wanted a baby for a certain couple, who just so happened to be my other 2 youngest kids foster parents! He was in NICU for almost a month after he was born. I was allowed to be there until they moved him to another floor and suddenly I wasn’t allowed to see my baby who was still fighting for his life because the stupid OB/GYN induced my labor over a month early! The other kids were split up between their dad’s family who all have a very violent and criminal history! Their grandma who only had a 6th grade education and made barely made $1000 a month. Their aunt who wasn’t even a US citizen, and her husband had been charged with felony child abuse and is still in the home. He also had been charged with drugs, violence, theft, and a list of other charges. The Aunt also had theft charges as well as other charges, like forgery and fraud. The other family members had a violent and criminal past, as well as the rest of his family who are always around them. During this case, their dad and I, divorced. He was offered many deals and I was blamed for everything just because he used the excuse he worked and it was all my responsibility to take care of the kids and keep the house clean. He evensigned away his rights to one of our gbirls because the foster parents wanted to adopt her! At the time, we were in the divorce process, but CPS said he couldn’t sign his rights away unless I did because we were still married! So he got his rights back to her. Cps tried to force me to sign away my rights to my kids during the whole time! I refused to sign my rights away and fought all the way until the trial. CPS did not tell the jury about any of his family’s history and the judge would not allow me to tell the truth to the jury. They made it part of the limny process, meaning they would not allow anything to be said in the trial. His family all lied and they got custody of my kids. I only get minimal visitation. Their dad was not suppose to get any more than I did, and is not suppose to be living with them. But he is! He’s living with his mom and the kids! He is suppose to have his own place. He does not! He has a job and can’t keep his own place to live! I have my own place but no job at the time. He claims to make over $1000 a week! CPS has been called several times since. My kids are split up between their grandma and their dad’s sister. Her husband still has been charged with felony child abuse and the other crimes, as well as the aunt. CPS still have not done anything about the accusations that my kids are being molested and abused in their care!

We are looking for a reporter to take the facts of what CPS has done to our family to our children to the public. We are willing to sign what ever we have so that the right reporter can have full access to court documents, family service documents, treatment plans, ect. Plus we have audio recordings of our worker stating that the Judge in our case will do exactly as she tells him ( He curently is being removed from the bench over an unrelated sexual abuse case of which he is the defendant) and yet another where she tells us that the laws of Montana do not apply to her. Please contact me if you are a reporter interested in hearing our story

Tammy, don’t give up. Get a job and make a home for your children, and live near them so they can find you. At least you know where they are whereas many parents lose their kids to strangers. You’re strong, and I hope you show them you’re there for them!
Comment by Linda Martin — September 30, 2011 @ 10:13 pm
Dickson Cty CPS gave temporary custody to my ex in 2004. He had disappeared 1 1/2 yrs earlier though we had found his address to go after him for past and current child support. He found out and when I was in the hospital he returned to TN, told the court I had abandoned our 18, 15, 13, 11, and 8 yr old children and that I was using drugs (I had gone through the windshield of a car and had a legal prescription for pain medicine that I never abused). He took the kids to Oregon. I and the were told they did not have to talk or maintain any contact with me and I had no visitation. it is now the end of 2011. I did everything they requested including drug treatment tho even they didn’t believe I had any addition issues so CPS had me go to another for another opinion but got the same results. It didn’t make any difference. My ex is a drunk who gave the kids vodka in their orange juice cause they were to busy. He smoked drugs with them and would sneak men in thru his bedroom window as that is his preference. But I was considered the neglectful parent. The custody was temporary but I will never get them back and the ones grown and on their own are struggling something terrible from what CPS did to them by giving them to my ex. I later found out that he had disappeared from TN due to having sex with the young male inmates he was counselor to while working at a prison in TN and buying their silence by smuggling in drugs but was afraid he had been reported. I found tons of child porn on his computer after the divorce but when I told the police, since I’m don’t have custody they won’t believe me. I love my kids and miss them so much. This has to stop and CPS must be disbanned before they destroy our future generations. Also, I would love to find an attorney to help me take legal action against the workers and court that violated most of my rights and did not follow procedure.

(((Michelle))) I hope your children are able to re-find you and find comfort in knowing how much you tried to help them but couldn’t. I have been through something similar, having lost two much loved daughters to an ex-husband who thought it was okay to lie about me in court. I identify with your pain. It could be that some of your children will be poisoned against you – this is called PAS – Parental Alienation Syndrome. Of my two daughters, one has it and one doesn’t.

Here’s a case that will blow your mind. Instead of me dragging it all out in a lengthy comment, just read this. The statements made by these two little ones speak for themselves. What is disturbing is no one spoke up for them in the system and now the damage is done. Here’s the link:

Add me for ALABAMA! Lee County DHR is playing with my children like ping pong balls, did not verify who retains legal physical custody, and lied under oath at the 72 hr foster care hearing! I am fighting for my sunshines, and I need help! Thank you!

Alisha, you could join the message board here. We always need more good advocates to help parents going through the system now. Your help would be very welcome.

Join the Fight sign.
Many parents find themselves overwhelmed when contacted by CPS and for good reason. CPS investigators and caseworkers are able to manipulate parents through fear and intimidation, making the innocent parent feels helpless. CPS has the legal power to take children away from their parents. Under these circumstances parents who are not aware of the underhanded nature, shoddy investigative techniques, and financial motivations of CPS readily sign safety plans, service plans, allow CPS into their homes, submit to interviews, and essentially do anything the CPS investigator asks. The innocent parent naively believes that by doing what CPS wants they will be left alone. This needs to stop.

Just went through all this. It’s horrifically painful. Find the money somehow and retain your own court reporter as the family court is a secret court of no record and you want everything in the record. Judges are a lot more careful when they think their corruption may be exposed. Try to recuse your judge by filing a motion to recuse. Remember to serve everyone involved and a hearing will be held on your motion which you yourself can call witness and defend your own motion. If you have an attorney tell him what you want in writing certified mail. If he refuses you may file pro se stating in the recusal why you were forced to pro se defend yourself. Document and record everything. Absolutely don’t sign or orally agree to anything even if they threaten to keep your kids. Once you sign they got you. If you did sign revoke in writing stating you were threatened and signed under threat and exteme duress. If they say you must go to counselling ask for the court order signed by the judge and only comply when it’s court ordered and don’t discuss your case with any counsellor .They are not your friend.File a Judicial complaints against Judge for violations of Canons. File complaints written to every one you can certified. I’m getting ready to file a 1983 action. If I can be of any help to anyone, Let me know. We have to take our children back and fight with everything you have for the love of our children and the future. God love you.

I am in placer county California and am about to lose reunification services after 18 months of compliance as my children are handed over to my ex who almost killed us all and molested our daughter for 4 years. They are not prosecuting him BCuz they are afraid of the psychological damage the questioning from the defense team will have on her!?!? Really? Please help!
Comment by Dennice — February 15, 2012 @ 8:27 am
Dennice.. what do you think I can do to help after you’ve been in reunification for eighteen months? My suggestions on this site are mainly for people who are starting on their cases and can learn to work on them themselves because most court appointed attorneys won’t help. I truly feel for you, the greatest sympathy, but I don’t have any magical answer to fix things after eighteen months! The answers for you like for everyone – are to learn to write your own legal documents to present in court, and to get expert witnesses to testify in your defense if that is at all possible. I am really sorry you are going through this. My heart breaks every time I read a story like yours.

Love God and my child, a lying report brought them in saying runners on my carpet in the walk areas made my home a hazard. Crazy? They couldn’t find anything on me I love my child never did anything wrong and love God, live in a beautiful area, so they made things up, brought into court for an oop against me for a light being off when they arrived, the Bible being on on my computer, a lie about the size of a stroller and where it is left. Is this America? God help us. I rebuke this and all these lying uneducated agents in Jesus name we have the victory in Jesus, too many people have died to make this country great. God will fight this battle for us and deliver the children from slavery. “No evil weapon formed against me shall prosper.” “you shall not be ashamed or humiliated.” “Vengence is Mine says the Lord” ” Let My people go.” God hates abuse of children and countries that take their rights away. This will be judged by the only righteous judge, God. I thank God for the opportunity to see their way and pray, just all kneel down together and pray mercy Father God deliver us (set us free) in Jesus holy name amen. He will do it. Bible

We both were in the same situation. Both young and naïve with mental illness’ not knowing the right direction to go, and children & youth had stepped into our lives and we thought they were there to help us but all they did was manipulate and take advantage of us. It was roughly around 2-3 years ago we were forced to sign over parental right over false pretences but as I said we both were young and didn’t know; now they are in adoption agencies and we can’t even see our kids. So they wound up taking out children and we are trying to find a way to get help to get them back.
