Is there a way for you to get the facts in front of the judge? If he is not attending school, contact a truant officer. I have contacted the police and asked them to do a well-child check on ___ child at this address. Only once was I met with resistance. The time between when you get proof of abuse ...

I was involved with this investigation and it was NOT a political set up. Carole Strayhorne had a form on the Comptroller's website, prior to the report that was released in April 2004. This was a public form where anyone could post their personal experiences of involvement with CPS. We had worked f...

Juvenile Court, Is this the right place to ask this?

We have a boy whose mentally ill, younger sibling accused him of, "poking me in the butt with his wiener". The younger brother has a long history of making false allegations when he does not get his way. Literally, he should be given permission to lie, by the courts. There are lab reports indicating...

Jack, are you by any chance the person who reported the abuse of children at Woodside Trails? I know that an individual did report that children were being abused there and was stated to be a "disgruntled employee". There was also a female who was alleged to have sexually abused a male child.

Kayla Allen, age 7 ~

We can agree to disagree, I hope

I am unsure what your Points are in reference to and it was a misstatement on my part to say, "I do not care how they got there". More accurately stated, is "Regardless of how a child ended up in RTC Care, we want them to be safe. I work very few cases at once and get to know the children and family...

To James

There are things that an Advocate can do if they know what the hell they are doing. True, we piss off CPS, we piss off the parent's attorney (God only knows WHY!), we piss off the GAL's, and we piss off the judges; and we don't even try to do this. Simply making a GAL aware that his client has not r...

Parent Advocates???

I have advocated for the rights of children in state foster care to be cared for properly and to be safe. They are not safe in residential/group foster ...

I wouldn't say this case is complete, as there is one child the state of TX has wrongfully accused of a crime that did not occur, almost two years ago, in a different state. Verified the social worker closed this case, WITH REASON TO DISBELIEVE. Nonetheless, being a male victim of sexual abuse ; the...

We were approved to adopt a child in 1998. We were not foster parents and we were not looking for a child to adopt but this 8 month old baby "fell into our life from heaven"... or so it seemed. Mom was in prison for 7 years for felony child abuse and from the pics I saw of her 3 year old child, she ...
