I am very interested in any progress you make with the FBI and I'm glad to hear you got family placement. Yes, as I said: they don't need a warrant. Furthermore, they can lie on paper, in court, and to your face. They don't have to be accurate, you do. They don't have to pay legal fees, you do.(for ...

It doesn't seem like it, but you have been lucky so far. To answer your questions, you must understand the people you are dealing with. CPS has a job to do: find kids that need "help" and take them away. If they don't find kids to take away, they don't get paid. With few exceptions, all th...

Once a flag goes up, they will watch you and keep coming back. I've never met anyone that only had one investigation. Maybe, get supervised visits for the father and show that it is detrimental to the child to lose contact with a parent. However, it may be strategically valuable to have the father b...

Unless your parental rights were severed, you are a party to the case. You have a right to be involved at every step. CPS found my step-kids' father quickly after we couldn't find him for 2 1/2 years. Don't accept their excuses. BTW, that father got custody quickly after a few parenting classes. (Th...

I agree. It is vital that we remove the paths to infringement of our rights. There are many groups rejecting the veil of legitimacy that government uses to assert authority. Our battle against CPS may be the hardest. Passive resistance won't work. Fighting doesn't work. Making social workers persona...

CPS will ask for the impossible and parents find ways to do it. CPS will always put more in front of you. Yes, he should keep going to classes. It looks good. There is actually something to learn once you get past the anger. Also, it helps to feel you are doing something toward a future of parenting...

First of all: Remind yourself that the criminal case and the child welfare case are separate. You or your attorney can remind the juvenile court that when necessary. The HSA counsel and social worker will try to blur that but you can keep them separate. Don't expect anyone working with HSA to care a...

Seems unlikely that, even grandparents, have much leverage if they weren't involved enough to know what was happening. Also, don't presume you know the whole truth. Try to get the story from the relative. I can go on at length with stories my relatives were told when they tried to get involved. I do...

You will probably do better with an appeal on procedural issues and maybe some substance issues. If, in fact, clutter was the concern, there is precedent that that alone isn't enough. People on this forum understand that the workers will change the story and accusations along the way, so, I presume ...

You are correct. Their pockets are bottomless, ours are empty. If you resist, if you are angry, if you fight, there must be something wrong with you. I knew what CPS does before my case started, so I fought back like they had never seen before and it cost me 2 of my 4 kids and 2 step kids. I didn't ...

Yes, and "suspicion" of use is enough. Furthermore, they can start with one concern and end up on something entirely different. Once a case is in motion, they really don't need much to keep going. The testing can both help and hurt you. You will be asked to prove a negative, to prove your ...

CPS has a job. It is to figure out what you do wrong. Everything you say will be used AGAINST you. As soon as you show resistance it will get ugly. Yes, you are being investigated. Why else are they talking to you? Your counselor is unlikely to be a good source of advice. "Mandated reporters&qu...

My experience was similar, with step kids and my own bio kids, taken for their cousin's untreated injury while in our care. Here's what I wish I knew: 1. The truth is irrelevant, for now. 2. They don't have to follow the rules, or law, or be truthful; you do. 2. This will take far longer than you ca...

you should have everything the attorney has. They will probably try to "serve" you in the hallway right before the next hearing. While illegal, they know you don't want to take another day off work or risk missing a visit and you don't know the law, so they don't expect you to complain. Yo...

In the end, you'll want to know you did everything you could have; regardless of the outcome.

And, no, the worker won't do anything that they aren't forced to do.

So sorry KDus. :( Have you tried filing the Declaration of Facts and/or Objections and Corrections to the Report of the Social Worker forms in court? If so, what was the judge's reaction? I filed motions, an affidavit, declarations, demurrer...... They only server to male them dig their heels in. A...

1. They will take the baby. They took 2 from me over the last 2 years, with no new allegation (CA) 2. They will be watching hospitals and birthing centers. A fake name will help for a while. 3. If you get a guardianship case started in another state, and birth the baby there, you might keep the baby...

Compliance is the objective part of the process. They will rely on the subjective part, "benefit from services". They can make any claim they want about how you haven't improved and you have to prove they're wrong. Now that they have you in the system, you would have to be perfect to get t...

I tried running and hiding. Every agency involved can and will lie to get you. I was a fool and brought the kids back on advice from an attorney. My rights to my baby were terminated on Monday, even though the baby was never in my care and never in danger. CA took the baby from grandparents in UT. T...

My wife's therapist is a social worker in another county. She was a witness for my wife yesterday. She was grilled on the stand and wouldn't budge from her positive position. Afterword, she told my wife, I thought you were paranoid about them, but you're right, they really are out to get you no matt...

Handled very well!

They should stop talking to CPS. It is now in a new jurisdiction and its not their business any more.

You should try the phrase, "a danger to himself and others". See if that motivates law enforcement.
Absolutely, keep track of your efforts.

When my daughter showed up with burns on her arm, "from an accident", we took lots of pictures and my wife made a report. She was moved a few days later. Funny how that kind of stuff didn't happen at my home. Funny how it wasn't mentioned in the 6 month report. You can make your own report...

CPS has nothing do do with justice or right and wrong. They simply need a reason to get started so they find a reason to "legally" terminate parental rights. Unfortunately, it take an experience like this for people to realize that CPS is the biggest problem our country faces. It is even m...

How do you write and file your own report? I received a phone call a little bit ago from CPS. They are suddenly conducting a meeting tomorrow at 1pm to discuss the case. My stomach is tied in knots. Depends on whether you have an attorney or not. If not, the rules are pretty simple. Start by copyin...
