First read this: http://fightcps.com/2010/04/09/what-to-do-if-child-protective-services-social-workers-are-investigating-you/ If you can hire a lawyer; please do. Your children are more valuable than other children because of their special needs. Once in the system, they are a cash cow for all servi...

Oh, I see Missouri, forgot to read that. Try this guy, he is a lawyer, civil rights and sues CPS and is licensed in Missouri. as well as Texas and Alaska and I think some other state. He is networked into this group of industry lawyers suing for families v government abuses. Edward Rose https://www....

If you are in California I know a good couple of civil rights attorney's that handle cases mostly having to do with 4th and 14th amendment violations, §1983 civil suit claims. His name is Shawn McMillan. I am so sorry that your family is going through this. I am sure this attorney, might know other ...

omg, thanks for the reminder!

Yes, I know they are treating you like shit.... Very rare to get a social worker to tell you what's really going on. You can do this and you will, just a few more months and because the issue of suicide is so serious, pretty sure they will try and max you out to the most time that they can keep them...

Where are your children now? Were they removed as part of that intervention? It sure sounds like the social worker snowed your mother, they will do anything to get their grips into a family, use the family, stir up family problems, write it in a report, getting family all riled up at each other is o...

Actually, it depends on the STATE whether or not that is abuse or not. I know in California, you can hit a kid with an object but cannot leave a bruise....but you still have to be careful as the CPS agency has their own rules as to what is abuse, outside of STATE law.

What day did they take your children? You say you're in North Carolina? Did they give you a reason for taking the children? When is your court date and where is the father at this point? Have you read this yet? http://fightcps.com/2010/04/09/what-to-do-if-child-protective-services-social-workers-are...

I understand what you're going through, feeling quite alienated and the whole stigma thing with the family. It is really common feelings you have. I see many people like you all over facebook, there's hundreds of groups there with people going through the same type of issues, divorce, parental alien...

I think the CACI index is an administrative law hearing. Make sure you only use copies and i think you should appeal the ruling, being that he is not guilty. Being on the index can/may prevent him from helping out other members of the family in the future and is unfair, unconstitutional and ridiculo...

When is his court date? Make sure you find an attorney who will work for you: http://fightcps.com/2007/08/20/make-your-court-appointed-attorney-work-for-you/

Administrative law hearings vary by state. I think they are just going to make a final determination as to him. Any new allegations of child abuse will be reported by mandated reporters. I would check the childwelfare.gov site as to the definition of failure to protect. What do you mean the worker t...

Placement Authority - The federal regulations re-emphasize that the DCFS must have placement authority (when it has custody). If the judge orders a specific foster placement that differs from DCFS recommendation, the court assumes the agency's responsibility for placement and the child becomes ineli...

If there's anything else i can do for you, let us know, meanwhile I'll be helping some poor family out here victimized by the cps system.

Grandparents and parents rights vary from state to state, so what state are you in? Depending on state, the grandparents might be able to petition the court for custody. In the mean time, the safest bet is to send your case carrying social worker certified mail of the request to have a "live sc...

I think they (your court appointed lawyer) is going to do and say anything to get you to stipulate to the charges and sign a case plan or visitation or any kind of plan in lieu of TRIAL, where you will be able to present evidence and have your story on the record. Should the case go to full terminat...

I would try and report this to a professional ethics and/or licensing board. If you have the evidence make copies and make a complaint.

Don't sign anything, even after you look it over. A case plan/ safety plan is a stipulation of abuse, you agree to the allegations when you sign, admitting that you need help. They will NEVER tell you that you just secured the state's right to PERMANENTLY lose your children, if they so choose. I hav...

Yes, I seen other profiles on fb calling themselves fightcps and also seen a couple of pages....that are not your linda. If i see anything unusual i will let you know. oh they are small pages people put up, probably innocently.

Well, that all is very nice, except for the last story. Have you done any research at all regarding the abuses of the CPS? Sounds like you think everything is just dandy out here, that families are not intentionally abused and broken up? Have you read any of the numerous articles of CPS in any state...

I am sorry your post wasn't responded to right away. Are they still around trying to take your children? For cps, arrests means your guilty, there is no innocence after that. You are in a FORM of "civil court" where there is no due process, right to defense, right to submit evidence, etc.,...

Expect more calls and get rid of that thing downstairs. They ask for contacts and then they will go to the contact and tell them you are on drugs and say other things to your mother to elicit any and all information. If your mother tells them anyone in your family has a history of drug abuse, arrest...

Yes, they can take your kids and do all the time just for the very reason you described. There's a video out on the internet that shows a children/family court judge telling about the Judges training that the new judges go through. They have been told that mother who accuse fathers of allegations of...

oh man, whatever you do, DO NOT SIGN any of their plans, safety plans, case plans, they are all stipulations that you abused your child and an admittance that you need help. If they take your child, remember the court appointed attorney is going to do everything in hell to get you to sign the safety...

Yes, there's lots you can do. The best amends you can do right now for yourself and your children is to stop using drugs. THINGS WILL GET BETTER...you sound like you're beating yourself up pretty good and that is good and bad, mostly bad, because you need people that love you right now and will supp...
