I find it interesting that for most of the last 5 years I haven't seen either political party as being particularly helpful when it comes to putting CPS power in check. The bill which is working it's way through the statehouses in Arizona is sponsored by a bunch of Republicans and would raise the st...

If the video won't load there is a print story and it has a picture of the boys back. METH is horrible but I think the system benefits from whipping up HYSTERIA like this. Also, How could the mother not have known? http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/article/0,1406,KNS_347_4611548,00.html Blister...

It is interesting that CPS does not deal with criminal cases considering that true child abuse and true neglect are crimes. CPS only deals with non-criminal child abuse and neglect, which is a conflict in definition. The latest NCANDS national report uses the term "child maltreatment". To me the wor...

An issue was brought up elsewhere in this forum about whether impending law suits caused CPS to back down. It seems obvious from several of these CPS investigations of CELEBRITIES that people with financial or Public Relations clout do get treated much more carefully by the CPS agencies. Yes, if par...

Dan is partly right when he says that just about anybody can recognize bruises and such, but when the unqualified caseworkers do it they pass their amateur "diagnosis" to the court. That's the big difference. And Dan himself has posted info in newsgroups about medical conditions that mimic bruises o...

Heatheranne, You sound like you really do care and you did teach me that fosters can see the records! Does that include ALL of the records? My own family hasn't been allowed to see all of our records. The case file has this manila envelope that the clerk pulls out each time the parent asks to see th...

I have a 4th Amendment story to tell. My fiance fell prey to "the stipulation scam" in 2001. She was promised a very short service plan with only two items on it, and went for it. A contractor to the agency advised the agency to provide us with the standards for a home inspection. The agency quietly...

Dan wrote I'm a CPS Plant? Post the proof of that statement or forever be known as a liar, Bob Come on Dan, why do you "sell out" parents by encouraging them to cooperate even if they are totally innocent? Who else but a system suck would do that? And, to use some of your OWN agency apologist reaso...

In answer to some of Dan Sullivan's old comments: Dan wrote If they want you to take parenting classes (a ten day course) take it. DON'T take parenting classes till CPS says you're done. A parenting course usually is ten classes and you get a certificate of completion. Greg's answer Not in my area!...

A defective court pleading however is
better than no pleading, or suffering through
four public defenders who do the Judas thing
and don't file any court pleadings worth
a darn. They always file to raise their fee cap though!

Gradually the "at risk" thing has fallen into
disfavor and seen as a giant catch-all that
the agency nitwits use.

Imminent Danger of actual physical harm
has been the standard for ages but the
agencies and courts have cheated this
for a long time.

Dan's tactic here about ignoring the comments sounds good, but he says you can't do anything about it, which is not true. Most states would not allow civil damages against a caseworker for slander, but there are several other avenues of peacefull redress. Ch 42 Section 1983 Violation of Civil rights...

Why didn't Dan warn the person ahead of time that he was going to remove all identification and post it anonymously to get the group's feedback? Dan and his cohorts complain that Parents Rights groups help people who had their kids removed for legitimate reasons. They ridicule this. I point out that...

The whole issue of threats of violence is a thread on a newsgroup where Dan's rabid system player buddy has harassed people for years from a duckblind of internet anonymity. After harassing so many for so long, he is terrified that he might be identified. He is phobic about imagined threats. He pret...

Can anybody confirm that tonymoo is not a fake persona? What advice, exactly, is tonymoo thanking Dan for? Yes, Dan was right that the report should have been screened out, but Dan knows they break rules like this all the time. Dan did comment about how four attorneys failed to recognize that it sho...

Dan, Maybe you should post my family's letter to the U.S. Congress and court pleading along with your mockery and harassment? That would really convince these families under siege from CPS just how great an advocate for Parents Rights you are! I see your little charade hasn't held up well even befor...

Heatheranne: How do you know what the facts are regarding the removal of this baby? You said the parents choose drugs over their baby. But that is typical of the lies that CPS tells to Foster Parents. It might be true, or it might be a lie! I understand that most Fosters don't really want to see the...

When you say that many other states have a Foster care Ombudsman, I am wondering if you aren't referring to a state governor's Ombudsman. The governor of course is the boss of the director of your Child Protection agency. Didn't the Governator tear into the CPS agency in California? Maybe he created...

Hi Sheri and Dan!

A motion to intervene because your child is a half sibling of the child in foster care will likely be resisted by the system. They'd rather keep propagandizing that there is a shortage of foster homes. That being said, TRY HARD! I'd emphasize the foster shortage and the risks of foster care, as well...

Dan, Even if the child isn't charged as an abuser, Won't the agency see the incident as a "failure to protect" and wouldn't they see re-exposure as "failure to protect"? I see the children have been marked as juvenile agressors. How can they mark the kids (even the third one!) this way if they are f...
