The legal system, at least out here in California is the other half of the problem, just horrible how these lawyers are in cahoots with the cps system systems. Monkette, I don't know if you have read this or not, but the Bar association pretty much tells lawyers to screw the parents http://apps.ame...

Plus, not *all* case workers are evil, money hungry monsters. They may actually be real human beings who care about what is best for your children. I agree... We have had a couple, maybe a few(?), on the site over the years who would answer what they would do as a caseworker in someones particular ...

IMHO, the solution to the CPS monster is to have declining funding. There are some children/families in need of CPS intervention, but it's the icing on the cake funding that is bringing about the destruction of families. Give them their 100% funding for the first month, then take 10% away each mont...

Hi Finn

Yes, it has been awhile...I'm happy some of the wounds are healing, "normal life" isn't all normal after a CPS case.. I'm glad you stopped back.

Tim

p.s. congrats on the grandkids

CPS... Create a problem so it has one to fix

She can refuse talking to them again and keep asking for a lawyer, they may try and say you coerced her into it but she can say she saw it on police shows," I have a right to remain silent and a right to a lawyer right? then that's what I want" (This would fit into knowing things she shoul...

How old is your daughter?

How did they interview her the first time? (show up at her school or ?)

Any idea who turned you into cps?

The website states they have 45 days and can extend it by 15 days if they have good cause. But wouldn't they have to let you know if they did. They just need to show a judge "good cause" after the 60 days if the allegations are "founded" and the judge will side with them every t...

Hi matt Welcome to the site Depending on State law, CPS agencies usually have up to 30, 60, or 90 days after receiving the report to complete the initial assessment or investigation. They can take the extra time and not tell you anything.... Check your state laws on time allowed to investigate.. Be ...

Case plans are to be developed with the parents present, not done by the worker on their own with anything they want added to them.. Read here about case plans: http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/usermanuals/cps/cpsh.cfm "Families who believe that their feelings and concerns are heard are more li...

How can they expect a pair of shoes a week from each of the parents? It can't mean every item each week...

Was the service plan developed with the parents input or was it already filled out by the caseworker and they were told to sign it?

I would like the person who filed the report to feel the wrongness of his/her action, and to retract the report. And I want my name removed from the system. 1. You can't find out who reported it and the report won't be retracted.. 2. It stays in your file, in case there are more reports in the futu...

Welcome to the site,

We need more info..
Have you met with CPS yet?
What are the allegations?
How long ago was the report?

I think your right, I thought the FBI's NCIC check included the National Child Abuse Registry, it doesn't.... I just looked and it only includes the National Sex Offender Registry..

You could apply for a day care job you don't want just to see what the employer finds..

Pebbles, you could pay to run a background check on yourself..

Hi Pebbles

I remember you... We were newbies together

I'm sorry things turned out the way they did, I'm sure they will look and if one finds you, the others will hear and follow..

I'm glad you came back around, I always wonder about members from the past

I'm going to add to monkette's post.. Criminal cases are held in CRIMINAL court, when your charged with crimes you have rights; due process, innocent until proven guilty, right to a speedy trial, right to a jury trial. Being found guilty is based on "Beyond a reasonable doubt" evidence. 80...

I've always disliked lawyer referral services and promises of class action lawsuits..

I will send you a pm

It is a lawyer referral service with lawyers in every state including Texas... I'm sure they have 100 lawyers named "Tom" ... The lawyer needs 6 cps cases to come into Texas?? They would all have different court dates/ times spanning the entire state, sounds like a lot of travel time... Do...

Tom??? This is a lawyer referral service.. They set you up with a lawyer He asked me to get 6 families and pleads with you all to keep your case open. But you haven't spoke with him? How did he ask you to do this? Give me your name, your number and I will pass it on. Referral services pay people to ...

What is his last name? People can then search to see if he has been reprimanded by the board or see old cases he has represented others on that may online..

Hi Dave

I moved your post and link to your webpage from Newcomers to Networking < Websites

Good luck in your quest

Tim

oryana, Look at this link: http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/usermanuals/cps/cpsj.cfm Develop a number of questions for the worker at your next ISP meeting...(when is your next ISP meeting??) An ISP meeting is a review of your families progress with your caseplan.. This is a time to show them they ar...

I agree with family_man... But keep in mind it may be a point if "all else fails" and you need to Appeal their ruling..
