It doesn't state in the Constitution that someone can't sell illegal drugs from their home... so if CPS removes children from a home because it's used for illegal drug sales is the Judge required to return the children because it's not in the Constitution? It also doesn't doesn't state in the Const...

The primary defense is Constitutional law?

Then how could you claim that the primary defense of criminal and civil chargers is Constitutional law? Very easily, if the Constitution is the primary law and trumps all other laws, you don't have to be a rocket scientist or even a lawyer to figure it out. It doesn't state in the Constitution that...

I didn't imply anyone should wait for the appeals process to assert their rights. Well I guess you had me and a few others here fooled. So then, why do you argue the point in the first place? And in fact belittle those who advise that rights should always be asserted in any and every court? I'm not...

You must always fight for your rights, whether the lower courts recognize it as a defense or not, the higher courts do. That would be in an appeal to a higher court after the lower court made an unfavorable decision against the family, correct, Bob? You're assuming the lower court made an unfavorab...

If "all you can think of is the numbers lost" then isn't it a "numbers game of wins" to you? No, it is the numbers lost. Everytime I look at what Gary Shaw posts about the numbers of children lost each day in the system I get ill. It can't be about how many we win. It has to be about how many we ha...

minimum 6 months? we were told by the anger management people that it would be at least 12 to 18 months, guess they dont know everything :) Oh, they know. The six month minimum is in rare cases. All CPS has to do is ask for six more months once or twice, and the kids are in foster care a year or a ...

i certainly did not want my case to be the cause of such bickering. :( however dan is correct that this method did work for us. i agree with bob that this might not work for someone else. i believe it depends on the severity of the charges. however, i did consult with about five attorneys and they ...

Re: Recanting
My daughter has now told my mother that she made all of her allegations up. To say that we're blown away is an understatement. What if anything, can I do now? She's going to see a specialist this week who will be aprised of all the events. So that's documentation. No doubt, CPS will believe that I'...

As I've posted florida999 got her children back in three months using that method. You can keep posting it as often as you want, what or may not have happened in one particular case doesn't mean a thing.

I thought you never signed a service plan It wasn't a service plan, it was an agreement that we could only have our children returned under the terms of that agreement. There were 3 service plans that my wife signed that I didn't sign, those were very specifically service plans, this one wasn't, ev...

I certainly don't know everything but I never heard of a case where the CPS victims negotiate an agreement with CPS, they dictate all the terms, take it or leave it. We were handed a BS agreement that we had to sign in order to get our children back. I wanted to sign it with "UNDER DURESS" under my...

I think everyone here knows full well that you don't dictate terms to CPS, they dictate terms to you. I'm not talking about "dictating terms" to CPS. A CPS proposed service agreement can be agreed to in it's entirety by the family regardless of the inappropriate or unnecessary services it may conta...
