Re: How many drug tests are needed????
How many are needed you ask, as many as they want if you agree to them in the first place. I would stop right now and never do another one. If all the ones you have done so far have been clean then that is enough. Remember you dont have to prove that you dont use drugs, they have to prove that you d...

Re: Happy ending almost complete
Maybe you could try getting a copy of the judges decree to close the case and bring it to the school officials to show them that you already went to court and the case was closed. This might help put their minds at ease, but if they are calling the department for ridiculous things you should file a ...

Re: Drug use is NOT abuse/neglect, says CA courts
I would also like to suggest that you request a copy of the toxicology screeen done by the hospital. I find it very odd that yours came back positive and the baby came back negative. When I had my youngest son we both came back negative until they did a meconium screen, then they said he had minute ...

hello is anybody there?
I believe the purpose of forums is for people to discuss things. It does not seem like there is too much discussing going on here. The last three posts have 40+ views but no replies, not an "amen", not a F*** off, hell I would be happy just to get a smiley face from someone. Feedback is ke...

Re: Advice please, very sensitive topic
Im sorry to hear your family is dealing with the same BS as so many others. I know it is shocking to to you that this is happening and the things they are saying but you have to realize this is the typical fashion in which child protective services operates. You need to stop listening to them, and s...

Re: Psychological Evaluation
just be careful because what you say and what they say you said are usually two different things, they will twist your words around and just flat make stuff up. I would like to strongly suggest that you dont cooperate with any more of their requests. you dont have to do what they say unless there is...

Re: Opinions Please--Is this NEGLECT?
One more thing is that maybe your daughter should not tell the foster parents every little detail of what happens on the visit, the less you can tell them the better. If she didnt tell them about leaving the children in the room they never would have known.

Re: Opinions Please--Is this NEGLECT?
I dont know what your situation is but there are a few things that dont seem quite right here. Like why is your daughter picking up nieces and nephews instead of the parents picking them up or more so why would you take children to a hotel no matter how nice it is. Why wouldnt she just take them to ...

Parent Aides, friend or foe?
I would just like to talk for a minute about parent aides. When we were first told that we had to have supervised visits with our children and that CPS would be providing the person to supervise them, we were outraged. We didnt want anything to do with any parent aide, and although we were furious a...

Re: being accused a second time
Do not under any circumstances give them any form of drug test. They will tell you that if you dont you will never get your kids back, dont listen to them. We were told more times than I can count by the case workers, the lawyers, everyone that if we didnt do the drug test we would never get our kid...

class action lawsuit against AZ service providers
We recently won our CPS case and got our kids back. We live in Phoenix Arizona and want to file a lawsuit against Jewish Family Services and Magellan Health Services for their unethical practices. They drugged my 14 year old on Zoloft without our knowledge or consent. If anyone else from Arizona has...

Re: Please help! Legal question
you used the terms pled and probation so I assume there were criminal charges? What were they exactly? And if your lawyer is asking you what to do instead of telling you what they think your best action would be then you need to get a new lawyer.

We now have two unsubstantiated cases in a row....at what point does it become harrassment? Both times they told us if we didnt have prior cps cases they would not be investigating, but now we have two more. Even if they arent substantiated they still use them against you. They set people up for fai...

Anyone who has a public defender who is not meeting expectations should tell them that you expect them to defend you agressively, and that instead of telling you to do whatever CPS wants they should defend you as if your innocent even if they dont think you are. If you dont see a change in their rep...

Re: I am fighting the best I can
If you were threatened while in the process of signing papers you can claim you signed them under duress. If a judge finds this to be true you can get the papers thrown out as evidence.
