updates on my case
I just wanted to let everyone know we had a hearing today at court. Good and bad came out of it but we are going to try to fight it even though nothing has gone our way yet. My daughters are both going to live with my mom in Florida but they want my son to stay in a group home which is not what I want for him. I am happy about my daughters going to be with my mom. I would rather see them with family than with complete strangers. Another thing we found out that wasn't good was that our appeal was denied. I don't know what to do about that. That is all from here talk to you all later

Dont stop there, keep making contacts in your county/area...talk to anyone who will listen about what happened...someone will know a person and that may make the difference to you. It took 7 months of telling people I was accused...and I got a call from someone referred by some one...and today we are waiting for our 2nd hearing!!!!
-You never know... keep moving forward ... its not a easy battle..thats why we are here.

God grant me the wisdon to have the courage to make a difference. Its not legal advise, knowledge is just power.~brick by brick, they shall fall.
My bf who is the father of my two youngest children was accused by our 13 year old daughter of molesting her. She later denied it but cps won't listen to her. I took her to the hospital the day it happened and they did exams and found nothing. He was forced to take a polygraph test which he failed but it also had nothing to do with her it all had to do with his sex life and mine. My son is in a group home because he has behavioral problems and the foster parent he was with couldn't handle him. They are trying to diagnose him with paranoid schizophrenia but the group home he is in says he doesn't have anything wrong with him cause he can control himself when he wants to. Cps wanted my bf to do a sex offender class but he would have to say he is guilty to do it and than go to prison and become an rso. Cps was recommending legal guardianship until they found out my mom wants to adopt the kids so now they are recommending her to adopt the two girls and leave my son in a group home. My kids are 13, 8, and 6. We were getting unsupervised visits with my son but they changed that and we got an unsupervised visit with them on Thanksgiving but they wouldn't let us have unsupervised visits with the kids after that.

they have to prove that if your boyfriend moves out that you will not protect the children and follow the court order. they by law can not keep you away from boyfriend, they can order the kids to stay away. i have gone through this the dfacs attorney wanted to keep me away from my husband during the investigation, all the judge would order is that i keep the kids away from him. a good attorney will be able to fight this. you do not want to go to tpr, that is just too far to go. by law in order to take to tpr, they have to prove that you have not made an attempt to "fix" the problem. it is a tough situation you are in right now you just need to concentrate on getting the kids back no matter what, and then fight from there.
did they give you an excuse of why they would not ask the bf to leave and the kids come home? you need a point blank answer. not the vague ones they are know for. i often accuse my caseworker of going to school for vague answers, just shoot straight from the hip to me, not some vague answer.

have you made this offer in court to the judge? what was the finding of your case, substaniated, unsubstaniate? sometimes the only way to find this answer is to goto the state office. they have what they call policy "specialist", these people are suppose to know the cps policy and are able to look at the records and tell whether or not the case was handled by policy. often they try to cover the agencies ass, but will often admit when something was not handled correctly, esp if you call them on it. this was the only way i found out the status of my case. make alot of noise and they start working a little harder, i found that out. after a year, things are turning around in my life, i hope to finished with my case after my next hearing. this is hard, but if you dont stay on this worker, your case will get prolonged. i had a worker who would not do her job, i called sometimes as much 10 times in one day, and when she wouldnt answer i called her supervisor, she didnt last long on my case. you have to be pushy and if her supervisor doesnt help you, they have a supervisor. push them hard and all they want to do is get you out of their lives and they close the case a whole lot faster.
i tell my worker, if behavior A took my children, then what do i need to perform to get the results i am looking for. have to tell you that the bf needs to leave or just get some sort of answer. A+B=C

I know the case came out as being substantiated but no one will tell us how being that the only person the investigator talked to was myself and my daughter one time. He kept saying he needed to talk to my bf but never did and cps kept saying they wanted to talk to him but never did either even after he left them three messages.

They never made efforts to talk to my partner either. Never talked to him or questioned him almost 5 years now. I had 8 cases for the past 8 years. Half of it they never talked to my bf either. just one or twice, during the first two years. and that's it.
And they had the gall, saying "ministry rules" that they must talk to EVERY FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD. That's what the same rules I used against them as well. I send them letters saying "well you never talked to my BF" for so and so years....and you stated ministry rules that you must follow, then I said you never interviewed him or asked him but never did.
All of a sudden they just drop this. Probably thinking up of something else to use.

It is easy to steal from poor people. But don't do it. And don't take advantage of those poor people in court. The Lord is on their side. He supports them and he will take things away from any person that takes from them.~ Proverbs 22:22
