**********************************
This is not legal advice;hopefully wisdom

To put it in simple terms…when the authorities ARE the perpetrators and the perpetrators ARE the authorities, there is no earthly justice or recourse, at the end of the day (unless the American people wake up).

Therefore, those who have achieved the highest levels of power seek to ‘enjoy’ the most grievous and extreme injustices. For many of those in the highest circles of power, the greatest statement of power is to perpetrate the greatest possible injustice…the savage, brutal traumatization and abuse of an innocent child.

Never ask a caseworker about a state hearing. They usually don't know what they are or that they should be subject to them. They will almost invariably say you can't have one.

You need to go directly to the State Department of Social Services to file. The state will inform your county hearings department that there's a hearing the caseworker will be expected to attend.

As much as the SW's lie everywhere else, lying about whether or not you can have a State Administration Hearing is just par for the course IMHO. :roll:
I've not yet gotten entangled in CPS myself. I perceive, however, that the threat is very real. I prefer to prepare now, which is why I am here.
If I seem ignorant, it's probably because I am. If I make a stupid remark, it's likely because I don't understand how I'm coming across. Just smack me and set me straight.

Just wanted to add.. that I have served as an Administrative Hearings "authorized representative" (not a lawyer) in California in two counties for CPS victim-parents and know that if you live in CA your caseworker is either deliberately lying or she's misinformed.

Either way, file for a hearing directly with the state. She'll get the message.

Get prepared, study the state social service regulations and photocopy rules she's breaking, be prepared to show she's not following the court order, write a statement (NO SELF INCRIMINATORY STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND) and compile documentary evidence regarding your issues for the state hearing.

At a state hearing you can either represent yourself, or take a lawyer, or appoint anyone you feel capable of doing the job to be your "authorized representative".

To Whom It May Concern:


I need my problem handled as a formal complaint.
My daughter was detained by Placer County in August 2010.
I have asked for a new case manager for many serious reasons.
I have exhausted the complaint process with Placer County.
They have stated I have no way to ask the state for relief.
I would like a hearing scheduled immediately.
I would like a state administrative hearing please.

Please let us know how it goes... if you get a hearing scheduled, I mean. I do hope that CA hasn't changed the rules since I last helped a mom get a state hearing. That was quite a few years ago. Agencies in the USA are supposed to provide a hearing process.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN COURT ON FRIDAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SOCIAL WORKER IS "GONE" AND MY DAUGHER WAS MOLESTED BY FATHER'S NEPHEWS. STILL NEVER GOT A STATE HEARING...I KNOW I GOT WHAT I DESERVED TAKING A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL NOVEMBER 10. I JUST WANTED TO SAVE MY DAUGHTER AND MONEY.
I WISH I COULD POST ADDEDUEM-MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WRITING A LETTER "THEY WILL NOT LET ME GO BACK TO CLASS UNTIL I SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT MY MOMMY."



MEMORANDUM
TO: Commissioner John Ross
FROM: Stacey H. Mother and poorly self-represented
DATE: August 2010-March 2011 3/4/11-DAY 209
SUBJECT: Alexandra H. CASE #:53-003100 and innocent child

BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. Mother in the best interest of her daughter took negotiated settlement that was not met on November 10, 2010. There has been no change of TRUE circumstances WHATSOEVER. Mother is requesting an evidentiary hearing. Mother was supposed to get child back in January to save her daughter drama and trauma from testifying. Mother’s previous attorney Fraas stated I caused emotional distress by telling her all her life to never speak to the sheriffs or social worker without her attorney. Fraas told mother that she was being “railroaded” and to take a negotiated settlement on November 10, 2010 and I would get my daughter back in January, etc. Fraas is in trouble with the bar for threatening clients. Fraas may have been on mother’s family law case without a law license. Fraas still has her children living at her home. Mother was to have child support dropped if negotiated settlement was take as well. Mother has not means of getting an attorney now. Mother makes 2500 per month of which 700 illegally goes to father and 1500 in medical bills promised but not paid by the county. Mother requests new attorney under Marsden. Negotiated settlement not met. No change of circumstances has occurred except what has been invented by father and social worker. Social Worker Schlanger, in her vindictive unscrupulous manner, falsified evidence that the father perpetrated. The father has perpetrated this case from July to cover his behavior noted on co-parenting counselor, violations of the law and financial gains in acquiring child support with the help of the social worker father maybe having an inappropriate relationship with.
2. Social Worker Schlanger and cohorts coerced, falsified and by means of “bullying” an eight year old little girl by fear and trickery made this innocent little girl say her mother causes her “emotional distress” by saying she should not speak with the sheriffs and social workers without her attorney in violation of her fourth and fourteenth amendment rights. Addendum 1
3. Social Worker Schlanger states mother has told daughter to tape record social worker which is not true. Alexandra knows something is wrong, what is the social worker doing in the father’s bedroom? I have never told my child to tape anything. Eight year old little girl felt she should sneak a letter in her shoe during supervised visitation to her mother regarding this. In Social Worker Schlanger makes another false allegation of mother illegally tape recording social workers tape record and law enforcement. Addendum 2
4. Social Worker Schlanger has continued to “paint the picture” hide and withhold exculpatory evidence against the mother and continue to unjustly supporting the father who is an alcoholic and spousal abuser. Mother requests an evidentiary hearing on this matter. Mother agreed to co-parenting counseling; however father broke court order again by calling the sheriff’s unjustly on mother and violation of law and restraining order. This occurred directly after negotiated settlement was not met and maternal grandmother’s tires were slashed for the fifth time in a one year period.
5. Social Worker Schlanger put falsified information in detention report that has been investigated by the State of California to be FALSE and it took until day 188 of her legal kidnaping from little girl’s mother. Social Worker Schanger has refused to fix this government document in violation of law and common decency which is a common theme throughout this case. Mother again is respectfully requesting an evidentiary hearing.
6. Social Worker Schlanger has reported she would pay for counseling at Lake Tahoe Counseling Center and the mother has signed a release.
7. Social Worker Schlanger continues to be behind the father who has called the sheriff’s department against mother in violation of court order around fifty times. Father has violated too many court orders to mention without an evidentiary hearing which the undersigned is requesting.
8. Placer County continues to support Sierra Family Services who has repeating violated other people in the community right to privacy and other harmful actions.
9. Tracy Barrett, child’s therapist, stated mother waived her fists within 2 feet of said therapist on November 10, 2010. Mother did not see child’s therapist on that date and was not told of the allegation until the evening of November 16, 2010, the evening before the court tapes to prove my innocence are erased. The mother attempted to have Sgt. Padilla retrieve them at no avail. Any reasonable person would have obtained the help of a bailiff if the alleged act of potential violence had truly occurred. Mother had originally taken child to this inept “therapist” yet was accused of sabotaging therapy in detention report.
10. Rebecca Bowman, Sierra Family Services, Placer County CPS (the department) and CASA worker knew of father’s nephew molesting child prior to November 2010 and never brought to courts attention as it didn’t help to “paint the picture” against the mother and unjustly stand behind the abusive father. All parties involved are trying to blame mother who never said nor thought such a disgusting idea. Mother found out January 26, 2010. Mother has requested Rebecca Bowman produce evidence that she sent me regarding her not being my child’s court or-dered and requested attorney and she has not provided. Mother asked her to withdrawal under Marsden and she has not done so. Rebecca Bowman was appointed Alexandra’s attorney in February 2009. During that time, she never had the curiosity to return my calls let alone the pleas of a seven year old girl. On January 20, 2011,
Alexandra’s attorney Rebecca Bowman stated, “She would have let CPS speak to my daughter in
August 2010” The father stated he got her off the case (ILLEGALLY) sometime and no proof has been shown. Re-becca Bowman was appointed the child’s attorney as father has a LONG history of making innocent child say things that aren’t true and Judge Smith ordered this attorney who eloquently stated, “I have over 300 cases, I dunno.” Rebecca Bowman was allegedly “unhappy” about father leaving child in motel room while he waited tables which started “the case” , but chooses not to disclose any of this to court. The mother again respectfully requests under Marsden the little girl be represented by effective counsel.
11. CASA worker has continued to go with “status quo” and unjustly stand behind father. CASA worker reports mother would not take a drug test on December 30, 2010 which mother did. CASA worker reports father who was in auto accident with child could not take a Etg test because it there was “too much snow” There was 0.0” of snow that day and 0.34” the day before. There was 0.0” the day after. CASA worker reports she saw food receipt from incident which required child to get four staples in her head. Mother asked CASA worker to get a sworn statement from guest under penalty of perjury that that alcoholic father with three DUI’s was not drinking. Anyone can produce restaurant receipts. Mother would be “happy to” today.
12. Mother is requesting again to have this case dropped. Mother is requesting to have a jurisdictional hearing as negotiated settlement was not met.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

Re: CASA hell in Placer County CA

MEMORANDUM
TO: Commissioner John Ross
FROM: Stacey H. Mother and poorly self-represented
DATE: August 2010-March 2011 3/19/11-DAY 224

SUBJECT: Alexandra H. CASE #:53-003100-INNOCENT CHILD


Mother is respectfully requesting the court to dismiss the CASA volunteer, Tamara Larson and her supervisor from this case.
Mother is respectfully requesting the court to quash and/or disallow CASA report of January 10-26, 2011 and March 4, 2011 as those reports were not served upon the mother, maternal grandmother or her attorney. (Placer County Juvenile Standing Order of Court No.02-004) This has happened two times.
If court chooses not to quash CASA report of January 26, 2011, mother humbly and respectfully requests ADDENDEUM 1 (rebuttal to CASA report) be read and entered into evidence and have an evidentiary hearing to all false allegations by CASA
As an active volunteer in her life; Mother acknowledges and respects volunteerism in the community; however Ms. Larson’s biased and inappropriate behavior is making my child’s life even worse. CASA volunteer has done the following actions that are detrimental to my child and justice.


1. The fact ALEXANDRA WAS MOLESTED BY FATHER’S NEPHEW
i) CASA reports to court MOTHER put in “another” report of sexual abuse of father
• Mother has never put in a report of sexual abuse against the father in the past or present although this has been falsely presented to court many times. Mother has only complained about alcoholism of father and watching pornography while inebriated in front of the child. Mother has videotape of these events and acknowledges that father most likely would not watch pornography in front of daughter if not inebriated.
• On January 29, 2011 the day after mother learned of father’s nephew molesting her that. Addendum 2 daughter, CASA emailed maternal grandmother and stated Jonathan never said.
• CASA, the department, Sierra Family Services, county counsel decide without basis Mother stated this. Mother never stated or thought such absolute filth until January 28, 2011 when father clearly did. No one will investigate.
2. CASA continues to inform on some behavior that the mother and maternal grandmother seem to display that the father has told CASA about and Mr. Richardson reiterated to the court on January 26, 2011. The alleged “behavior” has never been stated.

3. CASA has taken ALEXANDRA on a $350 shopping spree. Mother has spoken to “big city” CASA and told them the circumstances and this and they stated it was inappropriate. ALEXANDRA has every material need a child could want or wish for within reason.

4. CASA has taken ALEXANDRA out of state against Placer County Rules of Court 50.18

5. CASA misinformed court that mother refused to take a drug test on December 30, 2010 which mother did. There is no reason for mother to take drug test, yet mother did anyway. This has been litigated too many times to mention. Father was to take tests not Mother after numerous motions in family court. Father was ordered to take regular EtG tests that the CASA and social worker choose to not disclose to the court. CASA worker reports father who was in auto accident with child could not take a Etg test because it there was “too much snow” There was 0.0” of snow that day and 0.34” the day before. There was 0.0” the day after. CASA worker reports she saw food receipt from incident which required child to get four staples in her head. CASA volunteer stated to maternal grandmother he was going “have person he was dining with under penalty of perjury sign that the party has never drank while in the care of ALEXANDRA. CASA has not produced this letter she volunteered to obtain. Ms. X Alexandra and mother’s therapist found this reporting odd as well and would testify to such at a requested evidentiary hearing regarding conduct of CASA

6. CASA has totally disregarded Dr. X (mother and child’s therapist) suggestions and unilaterally decided to suggest and report to the court mother and child’s “visitation” be suspended. Ms. X has a master’s degree and this is the CASA’s first case after her 30 hour training. Ms. Stahl has reported that she has no idea why supervised visits are required or what the necessity of my daughter being taken away from me in the first place. Request to be examined in court regarding this.
CASA and her supervisor Lisa Peet display total unprofessionalism by laughing and “carrying on” with the child’s father and social worker outside court. There are three other witnesses to this including an officer of the court that I would like to call at an evidentiary hearing.
