Re: Finally our nightmare has a happy ending
No my children have no signs of PTSD.Thank god for that.I think the fact that the last foster parents they had were actually good ones and advocated for us to get the kids back and did everything in their power to see it happen.

2 1/2 years CPS free
It has been 2.5 years since our case was closed and so far we have had absolutely no interaction with CPS.I count my blessings there but I still live in fear everyday.I peek out the curtains anytime someone knocks and wonder if it is CPS sitting down the street watching my house. We did move to a sm...

Oh don't get me wrong we went through hell.It was supposed to be a temporary issue and we were put through the ringer I was a non offender but I could have ended up an offender..IE my house was messy but my kids were never abused or in any danger.CPS abused their power and tried to terminate my righ...

OK I am in no way advocating CPS.I fought for 2 years to get my kids back after bogus claims but I do know I was headed down a bad path and would have eventually deserved to have them taken.CPS was my wake up call and now I have completely turned my life around and I knw my kids are safe and happy n...

Does your state have an ombudsman? If so find the number and call to have the case investigated. We did this and within 6 months our children were returned to us. CPS strung us along for almost 2 years til I finally got fed up and called the ombudsman to have the case investigated. We complied until...

To me its not a question of whether the children should be taken or not...Thats an obvious yes but the question is what is CPS going to do with 416 children now? Send them to long term foster care because in most cases to send them back to the mothers would mean putting them at risk once again.CPS n...

DO NOT trust any counselors associated with CPS.Any appointments made by them say only the minimum and nothing more they will twist everything you say so the less you say the less they can twist.Document everything. Every positive and negative thing done everytime your case worker screws up document...

My husband has always been with us he was never made to leave. We got the Children Home in july 2006 but the case was not closed until Dec. Since then all has been good but kind of a readjustment for the kids.They too live with the fear of being taken again and I am sure they will for a very long ti...

1 year Later
It has been 1 year now since our case was closed and our children were completely free of CPS involvement.Since then we have sold our home and moved to a new town and new school district and strangely enough have had no problems.We have told no one from our "New Life" of our involvement with DCFS an...

Fear
I sit here in fear that my youngest child, who left in a nasty mood this morning, will tell the school that i spanked her this morning..I did give her an open handed swat on the bottom for throwing a fit but as we all know kids who have been in the system know how to work it to "Get back at mom".

Whoa...
They don't condone spnking as a discipline?!?!?! Since when is that for them to decide...do we still live in a free country? Are we not capable of making that type of decision on our own?

I am not surprised, the state gets more money for kids on these drugs because they are now termed special needs kids. If they dont care about the childs needs when they jerk them from loving homes and throw them into the system then why should they care about what they are doing to the same kids whe...

Everytime we completed our case plans cps would add a few more things that i felt were completely unnecessary like domestic violence classes where no domestic violence existed(never was scheduled so never attended) the psych eval was awful and never even taken into consideration. all in all our kids...

not sure what happened to the poll but i am so glad someone finally agrees with me. I realize the older a child gets the less effective spanking will be.
