its on MSNBC on Cable at midnight CST

Funny how she says she is replying to everyone privately yet i have not received a PM from her.

Seems some of us have hit too close to the truth and its taking her a while to make up lies to cover her story.....Typical CPS!

i can't believe you had the stones to post this... Not having children yourself there is no way you can know how a child should be raised..im so sick of textbook CPS CWs presuming to know how to raise a child if it was upto you all my children would walk around in bubble wrap with me watching their ...

the way i see it if you ask them if you can tape any meeting and they refuse then thats should send up a red flag that they have something to hide

"Applause" well said

Okay i have just spent a good portion of my day on this thread and i must say i can understand both sides of this as im a parent that had my children stolen by cps and also because i have become very good friends with our childrens last and final foster parents as they are being returned to us now. ...

as to the original question......no contracting agencies are usually worse than CPS themselves because they follow their own rules and have their own agendas the one we were conned into signing with is a foster/adoption program that we were not aware of its called Childrens Home and aid Society..ver...

i asked a case worker one time if her house was perfectly clean all the time and he exact words were and i quote"my house doesnt have to be perfect because i live in the Ghetto" . Can you believe that........if you live in the poor section of town you dont have to have a clean house.

if a doctor recommends drugs and you refuse to have her put on them they can charge you with medical neglect.

to get probation these people must have had one helluva lawyer so probably CPS did not want to deal with this attorney and just returned the kids

i had a parental safety assessment done and a psych eval. i was emotional during my psych eval and the shrink put in the report i was overly emotional. and they used that against me saying i needed counseling. for parental safety assessment i just answered her questions and wanted to cry but i held ...

Illinois is just as bad as other states. Because permanancy is rewarded they do all they can to adopt the children out which means they are much quicker to try TPR rather than admit that maybe they were wrong and the parents were good parents in the first place. We got very Lucky and had a bulldog a...

its so ridiculous that parents have to have a seperate lawyer when they are fighting gor the same cause together. Seems its another way to keep the parents seperate

isnt it just amazing how kids lie when it is something that turns things around them but when kids falsely report parents because they are angry kids dont lie?

Be very careful!! New workers have a tendency to try and prove themselves to their supervisors.plus most of them dont know their a$$ from theior elbow anyway.Never volunteer info and especially be wary of any worker that has no children they tend to have glorified opinions of how children should be ...

that has got to be the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.My husband and i have tattoos and we have never heard one negative thing about them.Tattoos are a form of self expression. Not harm. Sounds like your daughter is seeing a QUACK. If i was her i would tell DCFS that she will be finding her...

my children have seen both sides they were abused and mistreated in 2 of their fosterhomes,Now they are in good ones but are also seperated so they are still being traumatized by CPS Now to top it all off instead of sending them home all together my son is coming home on June 14th and the girls are ...

We have our family counciling thru a group called YSN (dcfs wont let us change counselors) and they work closely with the case workers and they do the counseling at our home(another way to get snoops in i think) last counseling session i was cooking when they showed up and had just taken the meat ou...

me too but i am not Naive enough to think this is the end we will still be under supervision until atleast when we go back to court in september where the judge can decide we no longer need supervision or to extend it for 6 more months.God forbid.

I truly feel now if my husband was abusive there is no way i would file a police report. Or go to a shelter. I have seen many times on this board where trying to help yourself out of a situation by calling the police or going to a shelter has backfired on these women because then DCFS/CPS gets invol...

No i dont have my kids home with me yet.They are still in foster care until June. We only see them fri-sun. In september of last year they were going to ask for TPR because we werent jumping through their hoops fast enough.When our attorney asked for a Trial the DCFS attorney had to do her homework ...

Being proactive in some cases works but what about when CPS says the services you got werent good enough because they werent their courses or their therapists? what then? then you are forced to jump through their hoops which in our case led to more hoops and more hoops until we asserted our rights a...

We have been fighting for our kids for 2+ years it doesnt get any easier with time but with time you gain Knowledge and it is true Knowledge is power. Learn your rights and assert them never back down or give in to them they will eat you alive. for the first year of our fight i played lapdog to them...

I'm not sure if every state has an advocacy office but if yours does use it to your full advantage.....everytime CPS or DCf does something not quite right report it to the advocacy office thy will assign you an advocate that will investigate your complaints. but in order for this to work you must re...

10. Changing financial incentives. While not a program per se, making this change spurs private child welfare agencies to come up with all sorts of innovations they previously had claimed were impossible. This is clear from the experience in Illinois. Until recently, Illinois reimbursed private chil...
