In October I will address the Board of Supervisors in El Dorado County CA. I have been advised by a Board Member that they have no jurisdiction over the actions of CPS Workers. Senator Cox, R-California has advised me that they are the proper venue to oversee abuses by CPS. I will address the board ...

I'm disturbed to see this is from 2004...were there any updates?

How would one go about getting information from the juvenile courts as to how many juvenile court cases filed by CPS actually go to trial? I had a local newspaper supposedly investigating this, however he's dropped off the face of the earth (purposely I'm figuring). My guess is that the majority of ...

YOU GO!!! That is awesome news, I firmly believe that advocates need to start hitting CPS in the pocketbooks before any government agency is going to take them serious. Or even ADMIT that there is a problem with this agency. THAT is why I love hearing about CPS getting sued...the more that do it, th...

Thanks for the info Shirley. It will be great when these types of stories are no longer in the news, simply because there aren't any more of these stories. And should any former foster parents be perusing this site someday and see this post; I would hope that you will step forward and help the paren...

HAHA..I'm not really sure where this "legal document" can be used for the purposes of fighting CPS but I, for one, got a lot of enjoyment out of your post (mayhaps because I can relate somewhat!!). In a world of sadness, loss, frustration and tears, somedays something like this popping up gives some...

Mojo, thanks for taking the time to do that...I'm sure that at the most unsuspecting time that someone, somewhere will need just that!!! Good luck..

will do and thanks...

http://www.berkeleydaily.org/text/article.cfm?issue=04-28-06&storyID=24001 This guy is the real deal. Although he'll be getting rich from sueing CPS, it's obvious that he's not afraid of taking on the government wherein civil rights are concerned...you just have to do a search on him and see tha...

I would like to see a specific place for people to post their letters to legislators. I firmly believe that in order to effect change and reclaim the government we have to let the government know in full force that we are not happy with the way things are being done. I have spoke with 2 congressmen ...

[quote="Dan Sullivan"]
FYI I don't follow every post, conversation and case on FightCPS.

Clearly....your posts AND responses show clearly what you follow..

As a paid position for the county, they look for: Qualifications*: • Bachelor’s degree in social services or related field. • Two years case management experience working with low income families. • Knowledge of effective principles, practices, and methods related to such community services as Head...

I worry they will just be more "whores for the state". And it's a valid concern Greegor. As with everything else in government, the system is only as good as the people who are in it. Though I don't for a minute believe that CPS should be abolished, they do need to open up all the protections that ...

Well its painfully obvious that not everyone got that message. Apparently some people are just antagonistic and always need to be right and get the last word in. JMO If this post was for me, you are correct, I didn't get any message about ignoring Dan. And though, from observing his response, I cer...

Well what do you know Dazee!!!! Seems that NJ actually HAS a clear law for getting CPS records..thanks so much, this will be great info for Congress!!!

My point exactly Dan...and if you really WERE here to help you would know, as it's already been discussed. But it seems you are far too busy and can't remember things like that...again, just my observations.

Great info Dazee... There is also one in CA, David Beauvais, don't have his stuff available at the moment but a search with his name will show he's a people's lawyer, and stands up for the rights no matter who the client is. He's done great stuff in No. CA and is just starting in CPS matters...alrea...

You know, I read the orginal post here by Dan and before I read anything else I was pretty pissed. I don't care what parent, where, files what motion or how ridiculous it sounds. The fact that ANY parent somewhere is trying to do something is a plus so far as I'm concerned. And since this a place wh...

In looking into the history of it, the design was to protect insofar as agencies "collecting" information. However in reading it.. sounds like all of the applicable rules apply to individuals seeking access to ANY agency with records on THEM. Worth a try..

No, it's the federal privacy act..it's on the FOIA page..but it applies to any agency, local, state or federal. Guess it would have helped if I'd posted the link huh? Sorry:):)

Okay...so the information I came up with is through the Privacy Act.. and CPS is NOT exempt.. (d) Access to records Each agency that maintains a system of records shall-- (1) upon request by any individual to gain access to his record or to any information pertaining to him which is contained in the...

Thanks Dazee..unfortunately they all want money:(:(...I'm researching writ of mandamus to see if I can file that and have the court ordered to provide the transcripts..and I'm sure there's law on it..just gotta find it:)

So true Dazee...I was tryin my hardest to be nice:)

And I haven't looked into it since I just received this information but I would think there would be some legal issues there. Aren't we, as citizens, entitled to transcripts?

I'll just add it to the list...

Okay...so I filed a small claim suit that was connected to this whole CPS mess. The defendant in the suit testified during the trial(small claims)to defend himself against the small claims suit. IN HIS TESTIMONY, he revealed that he had committed perjury in Juvenile Court and that CPS had also commi...

MommyB I'm sorry for your pain but Dazee is on the outside and being your rock. She's got fantastic advice if you can step outside your emotions and take it. My biggest piece of advice is quit defending yourself. You have done nothing but love a child. Sometimes that just isn't enough. RAD is seriou...
