I am seeking a law suite against the cabinet of health and family services for personal injury on behalf of my step children. Also, would like to pursue the possibility of our civil rights being violated.
An incident occured with my step son who is 9 years old. He has a documented history from certified therapist to have anger problems, becoming violent with siblings and engaging in beligerant behavior. In feb 2011 the boy had to be properly restrained by me during a fit of rage against his sister, in which i intervened for his safety and the siblings safety. A investigation was conducted by health and family services worker, Holly Francis. Mrs. Francis concluded that child neglect and abuse occured because the child had marks under his armpits and were alleged to have been a result of me using excessive force to discipline him. I was aware that these marks on his body were a result of a fight with his sister a few days prior to this incident, and were not a result of my actions. Mrs. Francis refused to adknowlege this fact and substantiated child abuse and neglect against me. I was ordered by cps to have no contact with the child, and the two sisters and him were removed from my home. A hearing was sceduled with judge huddelson in bowling green with the mother, Karla Mason,for return of custody. The mother had previously lost custody of her children due to allegations of neglect in warren county, which i was not involved in. Allen county social worker, Holly Francis, appeared at this hearing in warren county and presented the judge with the situation involving myself. Mrs Francis informed the court that she had substantiated child abuse against me, and that domestic violence was occuring in my home. I was denied any right or opportunity to protest her testimony to the court, nor was i provided representation. Judge huddleson took mrs francises testimony as truth, since i was not given opportunity object and defend my actions. Return custody to the mother was denied solely on the false testimony of the cps worker and the children were not allowed in my home. . After this, Holly Francis filed charges against me in Allen county court, which is where we live and the incident occured. I missed several weeks of work to appear in court for this. Ajudication was avoided and i sighned a informal adjustment to take a child restraint class in return for dropping charges against me. Cps convinced me that the boy shouldnt have testify in court and go through the mental stress of it, so i agreed to informally adjust. After this was settled, the kids were eventually allowed to be home in my presence with supervision. BUT..... I soon found out why CPS didnt want me to have contact with the boy. He told me, his mother, and his therapist that he never told Holly Francis that i hurt or abused him. He stated that he told the investigator that he had those marks on him before i restrained him, and that i had nothing to do with it! Also, our home assigned cps worker, Kay Towry, stated to me and the mother that holly francis had told her i never put marks on him. I demanded that kay towry correct this injustice and she stated " i got no dog in this fight" and " i cant go against a co worker" . Recently i filed an appeal against the finding based on this information to frankfort ky. An detailed letter and request for a hearing was sent to frankfor and a hearinv was granted for oct 7 at 10am. Two days ago i recieved a letter from the cabinets legal counsel wanting to settle outside of the hearing. They have sent a offer agreeing to reverse the substantiated finding if i agree to constitute a full and final release of all claims against the cabinet. Basicly they want to reverse the finding and me stay quiet about their evil doings. I called their counsel and refused their offer and am going forward with the hearing. They want to reverse the findinv based on " stipulation of good faith and for other good causes shown". When i called their counsel they stated that they had no evidence and was not going to contest the issue. I will not allow this to be overturned for good faith, but on the fact that the allegations were knowlingly false!
I am seeking a suite against these people for knowingly presenting false information to destroy my family. These children were denied their home because of the lies of holly francis and a bogus investigation. The mental anguish and stress imposed on us during this time was completely avoidable and un nessesary. It is not a matter of mistake that cps reached their false finding of abuse against me, but a deliberate mis use of facts to gain controll and power over us. No amount of money can repair the mental damages to the kids because of this evil deed. But we seek justice and for someone to be held acountable for their actions. Please help us make this right![/color][/color][/color]
