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.
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 The law that started this, CAPTA, must be repealed.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.
Anthony and Lisa Demaree lost their children to CPS agents after a clerk at Walmart reported that they had bath-time photos developed there. CPS didn’t accept that the photos were innocent. The parents were charged with child sexual maltreatment of their children. Apparently they requested a trial and fought the charges because their children were returned after only a month. The judge agreed that the pictures were harmless.
Unfortunately a lot of damage was done by that time. Lisa Demaree was suspended from her job at a school for a year, and they’re both now on the Arizona list of sex offenders.
They’re fighting back with a lawsuit against Walmart and the city of Peoria, Arizona.
I like this video because it show two people who have probably never had CPS problems… and they see how CPS has totally overstepped its bounds. The public is realizing that CPS is taking children that have never been abused.
I received this email from Greg Smart of “No More Family InJustice”. He is working to build a nationwide organization for victims of CPS false accusations.
“No more Family InJustice” is a non-profit organization originating out of San Diego, CA. We currently have chapters formed in 5 states with contacts in 18 states.
In my experience thus far, the main reason nothing is getting done in this war against cps is because every new group is wanting to do things their way and the legal system sits back and laughs. I’ve watched groups fall apart because they could not agree on a plan of action. Because of this, children are being violated and families are being torn apart by cps in violation of the CAPTA and ASFA ACTS put in motion by the federal government.
“No more Family InJustice” is moving forward with our plans to build a single national organization to fight the CPS corruption. We would like to include every individual and group/organization dedicated to “the cause” Other organizations can choose to remain autonomous and still be part of our organization. Even other national organizations can join forces with us.
The first step in our business model is for us to build an accurate list of those wishing to be part of what will soon be the largest national organization dedicated exclusively to fighting cps corruption.
THOSE WISHING TO PARTICIPATE SHOULD EMAIL AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO cpsvictim@gmail.com
NAME
EMAIL ADDRESS
CITY, STATE
PHONE # (optional)
Organizations wishing to participate should send either a list of contact information as described above for all group members or a main contact for the group that will disseminate the information to all group members. We prefer a list of all members in an effort to centralize the database so down the road action items will be received by all without delay.
Information will never be shared or sold nor will it be used to send span, junk or off topic email.
As anyone who has gone through the horror of CPS will tell you, The only way to end the corruption of CPS is at the national level. This is a numbers game. Until we have the strength of “numbers” we do not have a voice. Lets all band together and make a real impact!

Just a reminder… there’s a request by the owner of another family rights website for letters to be sent to President Obama and his wife. Here’s what I received in email:
Dear anti-CPS members:
We have been requested by the President to help with the reform of CPS. He has been in personal touch with one of our members and is expecting our help. If you are serious about your criticisms and your desire to see that the corrupt practices of the various children Protective services around the country be stopped, now is the time to act.
President and Michelle Obama have the power and the willingness to make the changes we have been fighting for.
But he needs our help to set the wheels in motion. He has personally requested that we all send direct to him our experiences with CPS. The recount of your stories may be sent to either President Barack Obama or to the First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House Washington DC 20500. In large block letters write “personal and confidential” Include any documents of proof .
The letters may be typed or handwritten. Please no profanity.
If you have any questions,
call Cheryl at (803) 438 8119
or contact her at Jane@abusefreedom.com
Washington grandparents Doug and AnneMarie Stuth have every right and reason to be caretakers of their three-year-old granddaughter, yet caseworkers at Child Protective Services are making up unreasonable justifications to keep the cute little blonde girl in foster care. They say the Stuth’s aren’t making an effort to support the child’s reunification with her teen mother, the Stuth’s daughter. Yet a KING5 news video report proves they have done everything in their power to help the mother have access to her child.
The Stuths made their case high-profile through going to their state legislators including Senator Pamela Roach, and to the news media. They are fighting the case in court. They are a good example for the many thousands of other grandparents who want custody of their grandchildren who have been placed in foster homes. The denial of kinship care rights to grandparents is one of the worst aspects of current child protective services corruption. CPS agencies want to adopt children out to strangers so they can qualify for federal subsidy bonuses.
A word to CPS workers: The word is out… everyone knows how corrupt the CPS agencies are. Come out of your dark offices and admit to the world and to yourselves that you’ve done wrong. Good always triumphs over evil. The love of family overcomes the evil of family destruction. In time you will see this is true.
I would like to organize a rally similar to the one on Nov 25. I am in Los Angeles. We should target the Appeals courts.
Here are 2 locations I propose for a rally:
Ronald Reagan State Building
300 So. Spring St. 2nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90013
and
925 N. Spurgeon Street
Santa Ana, California 92701-3724
I need to get feedback regarding who can attend during the month of January and which dates. We should try to rally there daily.
In 2003, most of Albertsons and Vons Employees demonstrated daily for months in front of their local stores and refused to go back to work. They were fighting for higher wages and their pension funds. They were only fighting over money, and not for their children’s lives, and yet they were willing to stand out for hours in the cold and give up their jobs until they got what they wanted. And they did!
I can’t imagine why the people who are complaining all over the internet and on this site are not out there with a sign in front of the court houses, the State Capitol or even the Judicial Council.
We should organize this to attract media attention and do it all over the country.
Anyone interested for Los Angeles and Orange County, please email me at aleo966@yahoo.com. Include the dates in JAN 2009 you can attend and whether LA or OC location and how many of you will be there.
You should make your own banners.
Suggestions are welcome.
I would like to have daily demonstrations from Jan 15 til at least Jan 31. Others should organize their own rallies around the same time.
Complaining on this site will get you nowhere, so pick yourself up and go out and do something!
I’m here to apologize for not posting any articles yet this month. I’m taking a vacation from the site - and yes, you can call it a sanity break. The reason is that though I’m adamant about this issue - fighting CPS injustice - I sometimes get overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem. Hearing all these traumatic and sad stories day after day takes a toll on me, and I frequently must retreat, and do other things to keep myself from heartbreak.
I love you all very much, and care about you and your children, and want to see families together, not separated. For this reason I started this site - to put everything I know about fighting CPS out here where people can do their own research and come to their own conclusions about what to do. Often I get passionate pleas for help via email, and I don’t know what to do with them. I already wrote everything I could on this site, and I must ask you to read the site. I couldn’t possibly help everyone individually - I get about 700 visitors daily (as of the last time I looked at the stats for this site). If I were to answer all emails I’d not have time for anything else in my life. Please accept my most sincere apology if you wrote to me and didn’t get an answer. It is not humanly possible to answer everyone. Fight CPS isn’t an organization - it is just the humble effort of one concerned citizen.
While I’ve been gone from the site, I’ve still been reading the comments. I may have missed a few. I ask that anyone who comes here and reads comments - to let me know if you see anything that shouldn’t be there, like spam, or arguments. I need to take care of those things even if I’m taking a sanity break vacation from the site. There’s a webmaster link at the bottom of each page.
I will be back soon to share more articles about CPS. I appreciate that so many dedicated people are sharing their stories and help in the comments to each article, and in the guestbook. Don’t forget we have an awesome message board here. There are others helping to maintain that effort. It is really the more appropriate place for people to post requests for help/advice/ideas. (Remember we are not lawyers and don’t give “legal” advice… this is just a grassroots group of concerned citizens.)
One more thing - I am saddened to read Diando’s comment about having a social worker threaten her due to things she’s written on this site. Please, everyone - remember that you do not have to post with your real name. You’re welcome to hide your name and details.
About a year ago I made a Squidoo Lens (page) featuring this website. As of this time, my lens, Fighting Child Protective Services False Allegations, is getting about 125 visits per week. I also made a few other Squidoo lenses on other topics that interest me.
This month I got my first payment from Squidoo. It came as a surprise because I’d forgotten about the site, and wasn’t working on making any new lenses for almost a year. They paid me $55 through PayPal.
I went back to Squidoo this month intent on making a few more lenses. Anything that pays me of course gets my interest because I’m just like most of you - a working person barely making it from month to month. A little extra income helps a lot! Well, I noticed that a lot of people had signed up for Squidoo from my FightCPS page, yet not one of them had made any pages of their own.
So I’m here to ask you all to consider making some Squidoo pages about your feelings about CPS. If you write about fighting CPS, I will feature your Squidoo lens on the front page of this site where I get over 700 visitors daily. All you have to do is make that lens!
I’ve also created a Squidoo “group” for us: Family Rights Lenses. I will add your lenses to this group (or you can add them yourself.)
Let’s make Family Rights a better-known issue on the Squidoo website.
As part of my outreach - my effort to help CPS victims find this site - I’ve joined a number of social media sites using either my own name, or the name of FightCPS.
I hope you’ll help me in supporting these efforts.
This is a blog promotion site. I’d very much appreciate your votes in getting FightCPS listed on the front page there so more people can find out about our issues with Child Protective Services false allegations.
Technorati is a site for finding blog postings that are on a topic you want to read about. If everyone who came here registered at Technorati and added this site to their favorites list, this blog might reach the top-100 list, and become an issue many thousands of Americans would notice.
Is anyone else here using Twitter?
If so, feel free to follow me there: Linda at Twitter. This is my personal Twitter account and you’ll see I’m interested in numerous topics, not just fighting CPS - but that’s something I’m always willing to write about. If you want to get to know me better and find out where my head is REALLY at, this is the place.
Check out the Fight CPS Squidoo Lens for information about the history and goals of Fight CPS.
You can make a Squidoo Lens web page to tell people about your CPS case and information. It is very easy to sign up and create a page, plus you may earn some money by doing it.
A wheelchair-bound mother in Montana won a special needs trust of $50,000 from the state. Her child will receive $100,000, and her attorney fees and costs will be paid. The lawyer gets $180,000. The Health and Human “Services” agency, also known as Children and Family “Services” (CFS) gets mud on its face and a debt to pay.
Geri Glass filed suit against the state of Montana because CFS social workers violated her rights and then retaliated against her when she complained.
Very important to those of you fighting false child abuse and neglect charges, it should be noted that when Geri Glass’ case was reported on in the media, the CFS agency dropped its investigation. They were apparently more worried about their own reputation than about possible problems with Glass’ child.
