oh yeah those kinds of cards are for people who are being questioned/charged with a crime. they have the right for their attorney. and children who are being questioned/charged have the right for their parents and attorney. to extend that to CPS is funny. the kids aren't in trouble. and hiding your...

How do you do this? Is it as simple as just asking if they are a provider contracted with CPS? Our kids have varying needs for mental health/counseling/etc. *I* need therapy due to PTSD like symptoms directly related to CPS harassment for the past five years. We are not anti-psych, we just don't wan...

Well I hoped she'd go away... :lol: But not. She called yesterday for my GF. Called again today and GF answered. She wanted to "touch base" and said that she still wants to "get together". She asked if GF had signed guardianship authorized her son's caregiver to get medical treatment and such, and G...

Looks like we're going to have to meet with the CW next week. Despite her having plenty of info and all reassurances she is insisting on a "meeting". I need your recommendations for a good voice recorder that can be hidden and not heard (no tape hissing). Last time, I bought a digital recorder at Wa...

If not I would strongly suggest you get one, for your protection. One of the biggest mistakes I made was in not hiring an attorney (my child was not removed from my home but I went through months of home visits, etc.). I thought that since I was innocent I didn't need legal advice. Sounds like they...

I should know the answer to this stuff but I don't seem to be able to think clearly and I don't want ANY missteps that might accidentally result in FURTHER trouble or extending the trouble we already have. After the CW interviewed my youngest at school and sent a letter home with him instructing us ...

. Check your state CPS manual for what "initiates" an investigation. Is it contact with the child, contact with the parent? Face to face contact? Telephone contact? Attempted contact? Are you really in a hurry to make the contact yourself, rather than let them do it in a proper way? Also check the ...

Thanks for responding. I wish I could calm myself down. As for them driving right over, is there a chance in hell that they would NOT know where we live? The school may or may not have our current address. Sounds weird I know but they are a charter school and horribly unorganized. Last I spoke with ...

Couple years ago I did a POA for my kids giving POA to my uncle and aunt (they aren't in the state anymore). Now I'm wishing I'd done a Guardianship and kept it up naming my mom as Guardian, but at the time she was out of state and since then I let my guard down and got this stupid false sense of se...

Hi all... I haven't been here in ages for CPS reasons anyway, and I foolishly thought we were DONE with them. Picked up my youngest son from school today, and he says he was interviewed. He has a letter from a CW telling me to contact her by Thursday to discuss a "report of neglect or abuse". Same o...

We need to find out about doing a Temp. Guardianship in Texas. This is NOT CPS related (Thankfully and for once! LOL!) Long story short: my significant other's son is a teenager with a multitude of problems. Despite constant therapy and medications for the past 5 years, things are not improving, and...

Marina already stated a snippet about Transportation and who is responsible and who can help Parents in Transportation. While the Children are in Foster Care Custody, CPS can help parents in transportation according to Foster Care Handbook. Marina has these stuff somewhere on the Boards, I forget w...

i think you would probably be within your rights to tell him that he has to come get child, however he will probably pull you having to go get child, not because he can legally, but because if you want the child back hell probably make you come get him/her. Well, what I'm wondering is if there is n...

at least in florida, it is the reponsiblity of whatever parent has physical custody of the child at the time, cus. par when child is with them, non cos. when child is with them. physical cus. is not the same as legal custody. Huh? I'm confused by this. So whoever has the child physically in their p...

I'm trying to find a clear cut legal answer to this question: In a custody case where one parent has visitation rights every other weekend, who HAS to do the transporting of the child? This is in texas. The NCP has voluntarily moved about 45 miles away, whereas the parents used to be about 10 miles ...

Hi all. Long time no "see", huh? A weird thing has just happened. My GF was trying to get this independent supervised visitation set up so that she wouldn't be limited to doing it at the CPS office (which is only every other week, only m-f available, and only until 5). The CPS visits were not happen...

Is doing this helpful at all if CPS does not have conservatorship or custody? In our case, CPS is involved, but they've given Temp primary physical Custody to the child's father with both mom and dad still named as Joint Managing Conservatorship. CPS has butted in and "placed" her but has not taken ...

Hi again everyone; I have a question. CPS has requested/demanded/whatever that my girlfriend submit to a "counseling assessment". This, according to the CW, will determine if there is a "need for counseling". This will take place via 1 to 3 home visits by a counselor. If it is decided that counselin...

Maybe I told this story already, maybe not. I don't know, so if it's a repeat, sorry! The "nice" caseworker we had was nice and reasonable for the most part.... BUT there was one time I saw her "true colors" and yikes! She's always been very respectful, cordial, treated us like human beings, had nic...

righteousbabe, I could care less about your sexual orientation but I do have a question? You slammed into Greegor I "slammed" into Greegor's presentation of his opinion as if fact. He posts as if his own experiences are the only truth. I refute that, because it's nonsense. I don't care what he or a...

RighteousBabe: You WILL change your mind once you get the entire CPS Files, and you will KNOW what she put in these reports ARE LIES!!! One thing they won't tell you and would claim "holier than thou's" nice CW then another thing they wrote down nothing but Lies about you. Don't be tricked on how n...

<snip> They have not done with you because you have certain Rights (Sexual Orientation Rights). They don't want to overstep and violate that Right. So they are very cautious when it come to that. Hi Frustrated; Actually there are ZERO rights based on sexual orientation, at least in Texas. None, nad...

"She didn't pull any BS, no lies" Are you sure of that? These idits are trained to lie and distort the facts. What was stopping the cw from telling you one thing an then telling their masters another thing? Our cw pratically admitted we were getting screwed even stating that he "wanted nothing to d...

Well, this may be less than ideal, but here's what we decided: There is just too much going on here with work and counselor appointments and cleaning and yard work, blah blah blah, and all to "get ready" for the home visit aside from this issue, that we decided against moving anyone around. Too much...

Workers can be changed and reassigned? Most cases they don't and Supervisors refused to change them. They can be reassigned only if they got caught for doing something wrong and Courts are looking into it. I remember CPS Director saying that if there was any wrong doing on CW's part, he or she will...
