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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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

In July 2007, I accidentally dropped my then 2mo old on the carpet (he fell out of his bouncy chair) and sustained a skull fracture. I called my husband immediately (very upset) and he came rushing back home to take care of my son and me. He waited for 2hrs before returning to work and informed me to let him know if any changes arose. None did and we didn’t think anything else about it til approx 3 days later when we found a bump on our son’s head. We rushed him to ER and gave our stories but because they differed (I mentioned the fall but my husband mentioned an incident with the bottle that happened that evening) CPS was called in and after three days in the hospital, they took our son into their custody. My husband is aware that I have had ten (10) different cases with my now two adult (and one deceased) children. But my children have all stayed in my custody except my oldest child who was living in TX with my mother when she decided she didn’t want him any longer and put him into TX custody. Anyhow, the PHX police dept did their investigation into what happened even doing a polygraph on me and closed the case as an accident (no abuse!) but still CPS is wanting to sever MY parental rights. They have forced my husband and I to divorce in order to keep our son from being adopted out. My husband will retain custody but they don’t want me in his life at all. My now 2y old is upset bec he says “I’m leaving him!” and for this he’s “mad at me!” My husband and I have done all the services offered to us from “dropping UA’s” to psychological and psychiatric evaluations and individual and marriage counselings. We have supervised visits (were 6 hrs together but now that we’re separated, I have three hours and he as 7hrs broken 2hrs during week and 5 hrs on weekends). My husband’s visits are now 1/2 unsupervised now, too! They say my son and I aren’t bonded and never will (per the experts!) and that I will never be able to parent a child. I have raised two children (one to adult hood and she is now a college student). The other committed suicide in January 2008 after murdering his girlfriend (I tried to get assistance for him from CPS, police and his probation officer but no one would assist - this is another incident that I want to find assistance for). Please help me. I want my son back. It was an accident that he fell I would never hurt my baby! I’m not saying I’m perfect

Lucile, I’m so sorry… you’re going through so many traumas! Please read as much as you can on the site, and do whatever you can to produce legal documents and documentary evidence in your favor for the next court hearing. You can get more feedback on your case on our message board.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — December 15, 2009 @ 5:56 pm
I fought cps for 2 1/2 years and I won and spent 8 days in a jury trial and won. It took alot of hard work and I can tell you I never once wanted to give up. If you are truely serious about your life and your child/childrens life, never give up. Fight until the end. You can overcome CPS..
Comment by Cheryl Petrella — December 19, 2009 @ 1:22 pm
hi, im 17 and my family is being watched by cps. i was having a hard time a few months ago and i guess a few people noticed and made some calls. i met my social worker once, when she came to my school and pulled me out of one of my classes and talked to me for about an hour or more. later when i got home, she pulled in right after my mom. my dad wasnt home, but me my mom and my sister were. she had me and my mom go to the back of the house while she interviewed my sister, and then she sent my sister back and did the same with my mom. it was all so confusing but somehow something came up that caused her to make my mom file a report against my own grandfather for sexual abuse, and she also schedualed an interview with my dad at the cps office. im still at my own home, but im scared that shell find something to take me and my sister away. she said that they would be watching us for the next 6 months, and at the end of the 6 months it will be decided if we can stay, or if my mom has to find a job and leave my dad, or if we will be placed in a group home. i dont get along with my dad, and maybe thats an understatement, but im not being abused or anything like that. she is also requiring me to go to therapy, continue councelling at my school, on top of visiting a phychiatrist. i havent seen her or heard from her since then, and i was hoping that maybe she wasnt that serious about it and was going to pretty much leave us alone. but i found out yesterday that she has somehow been able to find my facebook and myspace account, and has been following everything i say and do on both. i always set my pages to private, and i only allow close friends and family on them because i dont want random people invading my personal life. then yesterday my mom gets a call and shes told that she has to take me in for more councelling because of a few posts where i said maybe i was sad, angry, or something along those lines that she tied to my depression. and i have one or two posts saying that i wasnt sleeping well, and now shes making my mom take me to the doctor for that and ones saying im home sick. we cant afford many more appointments, but we are afraid that if we stop she will use that against my parents. we cant afford for a doctors visit every time i sneeze or have a headache. i just want to be able to use these pages to talk with friends, tell them whats going on in my life, keep up with what is going on in theirs, but if i cant do that without her pouncing on every little thing i might just have to stop using them. its the only way my friends get in touch with me anymore, and i dont want to lose that. is she allowed to do this? how far does the right to privacy extend in this situation? im trying to keep my mouth shut now, but im scared that she will see that as something else suspicious and turn that against us. i turn 18 in october, and i dont want to spend the rest of my time as a legal minor being watched like this or in a group home or with all this drama, and i really dont want to spend it being afraid to talk to my friends. my sister has it worse, she is 14 and will be watched by them still after im an adult, and she is completely terrified. i dont want to be the cause of her going into foster care when she is happy where she is right now. nobody will listen to me, they all say its beyond me im a minor ill get it someday, but honestly while i dont know everything i know enough to know that this situation shouldnt be happening, and i really need help figuring it out. i gueess that is part of the not knowing anything lol. can you help me out? i would be really grateful…. its a big mess.
Comment by A. M. — January 20, 2010 @ 9:24 am
A.M. - this social worker is stalking you. It may be difficult but I’d delete everyone from Facebook and MySpace except people you know personally. Possibly she somehow got you to approve her account without realizing it was her. After deleting everyone, log out and see what your accounts look like to people who are not your friend connections. Make sure there’s nothing there that anyone can see.
Thank you for being so considerate to your younger sister, who will still have to be concerned about them for years to come. Remember this when you’re older and especially when you’re a mother… because too many young people with babies don’t realize that social workers can create a mountain from a molehill to harass families and take children away.
If your sister wasn’t at stake, I’d say, why not just tell this person to stop stalking you? But since you do have a younger sister perhaps it is better not to rock the boat. From the way this person is stalking you and harassing your family, it is possible she’s quite unstable, and not someone you would want to insult while she’s in a position of power. In the future be very careful about what you say to any professionals, or anywhere online.
Good luck to you!

Comment by MARQUITTA — January 23, 2010 @ 5:33 am
Marquitta, what exactly does your court ordered service plan say about visitation and custody? There are several things you can do, such as document everything you’ve done to complete the plan, write to your attorney and ask that he take it back to court ASAP. Ask for more visitation if the service plan allows that. For more feedback on your case, post something (such as the answers to these questions) on the message board here at FightCPS. Good luck! We’re on your side!

My wife and I handle lots of CPS cases in the Houston, Texas area. We are especially well-equipped to address those cases that have a criminal allegation as well.

Keith, I responded to this on the guestbook thread.
Comment by LindaJoMartin — February 5, 2010 @ 4:01 am
Please pray for my family. We were at the home stretch in our case, with our older child due home on a set date. They (CPS) dropped something unexpected on me, I got very upset, and now we have to start over. I know that I could and should have handled it differently, but it seems all they ever do is build our hopes and then tear them down when we least expect it. Yes, there is room for me to improve, and I should not have reacted that way, however the way they have conducted this entire case is an abomination. Please, please pray for my children, my husband, and myself. Thank you and God bless.

Silver Ray, I’m so sorry. I know how much it hurts to have the caseworkers turn against you just when you think the torture may nearly be over. I will put you on my prayer list and will be praying for your family to be reunited!
