Imminent Danger--thought abt. my case.
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2007 11:05 pm
I read on here last night about this case where the 5 yr. old wasn't potty trained, nor the 3 yr. old (Which is more understandable), 5 yr. old had rotted out teeth, 3 yr. old was locked in ther room, messy house, etc.
SWorker took the kids.
Later in court, it came out that there was NOT *IMMINENT* Danger.
I've beeen thinking about this alot.
CPS came out the 1st week of May 06. My house was in a mess, I admit, due to my hoarding.
Sworker told me to take the kids to their dads UNTL I got it cleared out & that I would have to maintian it.
So......the kids were WITH their dad, BUT STILL coming to my house after school FROM DAY ONE that cps came out!!!!! And, they were staying the weekend with me FROM DAY ONE when cps came out!!!!!
YET, cps then infomred me that they were going to be taking me to court to seek temp. managing conservatorship.
WHERE was the IMMINENT DANGER when:
1. The kids were at their dads mon-thurs.
2. the kids were coming to my house after school each day & staying there until their dad picked them up after he got off work.
3. From the VERY day cps came out & told me to take the kids to their dads, the kids STILL came to my house each weekend for unsupervised visits.
4. The day cps came out, the supervisor that came with the caesworker told me, "We know you are not a danger to the children." (She either said danger or threat...can't remember as she said this phrase 3 diff. times...using danger at times & threat at times).
5. She went on the say the very same thing the day we were in court for their seeking temp. managing conservatorship. I agreed to it voluntarily, but the temp. managing conservatorship papers stated there would be SUPERVISED visits....I told my lawyer I wanted that removed & he told the supervisor & she said "Okay. We know she is not a threat to the children."
So......WHERE WAS THE IMMINENT DANGER????!!!!!!!!!!
What is the statue of limitation for sueing a cps worker?
IF my kids were in IMMINENT DANGER then WHY were they allowed to contiue to come to my house after school the entire mo. of May AND allowed to stay the weekends with me from the day they came out in May???!!!!!!!
I am feeling really angry. I was deprived of my children for a YEAR!!!!!! They lived with their dad & I got them on the weekends.
ALL it was about was a political situation....I live in a nice neighborhood & due to my hoarding the neighors called cps at least 6 times from 2002-2006.
When they came out in May 2005 they told me that if the house was messy again that the kids would not be able to keep living there. She told the kids that too. I didn't believe her. I was trying to dehoard, but I kenw I was a good mom & felt my mothering would be judged on MORE than my house.
So.....in essence cps made up thier minds in May 05 that IF the neighbors called again & the house was messy that they would removed my kids. AND that the kids would NOT be able to keep living with me---that they would seek temp. managing conservatorhsip. When they came out in May 05, I had been separated from my husb. since Jan. 05. So, they knew they'd have a way out-----place the kids with their dad & try to get custody transferred to him INSTEAD of actually working with me for a year like they told me they would do when they got temp. mang. conservatorship & like they do for other parents when they have TMC.
So, when they came to my house in may 06, they ALREADY knew that they were going to remove my kids & try to get placed with their dad & hve them not live with me---based on a decison they made in May 05!!!!!!
However, on several occassions when they came out & ruled unfounded, I ASKED them if they could keep coming out & being involved with our family to help me overcome the hoarding...and they said NO!!!! So, they won't offer preventative care/help!
