If you don't have a lawyer now, get one. You're out of your depth if you try to deal with CPS alone. And if you truly are innocent of the things they are accusing you of, you need to write down ever instance of an untrue accusation, and document your response to every claim. Then you need to go over...

Just to clarify, I am not setting standards. I assume the people who read this thread want to find ways of cleaning/decluttering their home, and I provide some recommendations for dealing with it. I'd really like to avoid tangential arguements like "what standards CPS use for cleanliness/clutter" as...

This really isn't a thread about standards, but one about keeping a clean home.

I've been doing alot of thinking, and some research, and here are my recommendations for cleaning up a messy/cluttered home and keeping it clean. :) 1) Declutter your house, room by room. Take one room. Any room. And empty it out. Perhaps not all the furniture, but everything on the floor or on the ...

I read the article. I totally understand what you're going though, as many of us probably do. While I'm on the other side of the hoarding impulse - I'm the one trying to get my wife to get rid of extra stuff. I realize that she's so much value in all those things I'd rather throw away. Everything I ...

Well the police could have been lied to. Who could have forged those signatures? Does someone have something against you? Where did the officers get those documents from? Who gave them the docs?

Actually today we talked about having the kids come back next Friday, and although I'd be living outside the house for the time being, but able to visit while my wife is there. I'll have visiting hours, essentially. Honestly, it's better than expected, but naturally not as much as I'd hoped, so I gu...

And I guess in part I am relieved. My case workers revealed today in a staffing meeting that they had been reading/printing out my posts here for months. Which surprised me a little bit because they brought it up at the tail end of the meeting. I was frustrated I couldn't get a chance to really talk...

Thank you very much. I've talked with my wife and we've already started talking about making a new Objections and Corrections form

Yeah we recorded the two police interviews and I am thinking about asking the officer to make a copy of the letter for my wife. Here is what I would like to do. Get the officer to show up on the permenancy hearing on Jan 30 and testify that the allegations are unfounded and to also testify on the tr...

What can I do? When my wife and I found out that I was being accused of somehow "innappropriately touching" one, two, or three of my children, both her and I tried contacting the CPS case workers to ask for more details. Maybe we could clear something up. So my wife visited the CPS HQ and tried talk...

We've had something similar happen to us. Because CPS keeps taking our kids away for the last 1.5 years the two boys, age 8 and 6, accidentally call their real Mother "Mrs Polson" - which is the name of the current foster mom. Our 3 year old daughter never calls her real Mother "Mommy" and only call...

I'm through with CPS. They've had a year and a half of my family's life. I want to appeal to the courts. Any advice?

Appeal ruling? Someone tell me about this. I'd like to appeal this latest case that CPS has going against me, especially police investigators and third party investigators are finding out the kids aren't claiming anything against me. And guess what, my kids, in my wife's last visit with them, said t...

I'm in the same boat. I am accused of "innappropriate touching" even though I've never molested my kids. CPS claims the kids have said I put my hand down their pants while they sit on my lap and play computer games. A third party interviews the kids and no such claims are made. The CPS counselor get...

Well - for all you guys that are steamed over CPS. I may have some long overdue - HOORAYS... The social worker was found to be hiding evidence and also lying about an arrest that never happened in my history. She was Actually crying in the court when I was called in - because my attorney made know ...

You are better off filing your Case and bring your Case to the State Ombudsman in your State. They do investigations on CPS and usually get positive results more than FBI. Ombudsman's job is to investigate any wrong doings on parts of CPS's organization and if found any wrongdoings, the Ombudman ca...

Oh I don't mean while the case is open. I mean after it's closed, the damage has been done, and you want to rebuild your life with your family in another state?

Is there anything CPS could prevent you from doing that?

Just going to throw out an idea:

Can your husband move to another state, get a job there, then you move in with him?

Won't that take your family out of CPS's jurisdiction?

If that is an option you could have your entire family back together, right?

I don't have anything against CASA, but we need a similar agency that acts as a watchdog for CPS actions. As it stands now CASA is at best a partner for CPS, but there is nobody that is a partner for the family.

Christmas Eve has passed, and it's Christmas morning now. And I'm really bitter right now. My wife is down in Houston visiting her parents, and my kids are still in a foster home, with no end in sight for this 18-month-long debacle. We did another hearing last Tuesday, where my wife and I, and our t...

I will do that Monday, as this is extremely relevant in my case, too. And I don't think we've ever received anything in our case about an administrative review being an option. I've only learned about it while reading through the CPS handbook.

BTW thank you for looking up that information.

I am going to copy my response from the other thread to here, on the off-chance that either thread might not be read. § 261.309. REVIEW OF DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATIONS. "If, after the department's investigation, the person who is alleged to have abused or neglected a child disputes the department's det...

§ 261.309. REVIEW OF DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATIONS. "If, after the department's investigation, the person who is alleged to have abused or neglected a child disputes the department's determination of whether child abuse or neglect occurred, the person may request an administrative review of the finding...

I've replied in the other thread. I hope it helps. Bottom line: CPS is supposed to know how to do it. It's in their own handbook. And the reason why most of the case workers don't know anything about it, because they probably never have taken part in one. Your case worker and the supervisor over the...
