My story, a long story shortened

Postby Gomez » Wed Mar 19, 2014 9:58 pm

I am not sure where to put this so I apologize in advance.

First I want to say I do not care what any of you think of me, you can judge as you will and think what you want, and also this will sound hard to believe but one thing I am not is a liar so with that said I will try to shorten it as much as possible:

This story still hurts to tell and I rarely ever speak of it and still break down if I get to involved in telling it but we will start at the beginning, When I was 18 I was convicted of accessory to shooting into an occupied car, and larceny of a motor vehicle, and although I am not proud of it I did do it, and I served my time for it, and 5 years later the light of my life, my oldest son was born, my youngest followed 3 years later in 2004, and they changed my life.

My ex was into the occult and at the time I just didn't care because up until summer 2003 I had no beliefs, I had taken on a roommate around feb 04, and her father had gotten out of prison 6 years early in mar 2004 and that is when my life began falling apart and in August of 2004 my ex told me she wanted someone else and I could leave, that she wanted the kids and that she would retaliate if I were to try and take them, well she kept true to her word.

I took my kids to my mothers home and stayed as well, I left for work a few days later and much to my surprise the police came and searched my mothers house and seized my computer, so I go and hunt down the detective to find out whats up and he tells me to go to the local jail and turn myself in and that I am wanted for questioning so I comply, and that is where I find out I was accused of child pornography, beating my kids, and beating her and while at the jail they threatened to lock my mother up if we didn't hand over my kids to my ex, she had taken a 10-50b and emergency custody and all and so I was forced to comply.

Well here comes DSS and at first it was just random stupid questions and condescension but no outright accusations, yet, then I try to tell DSS to get her dads criminal record and at the time all I knew was it was a sex crime, and DSS couldn't get his sealed records from Georgia so the social worker went and spoke directly to her dad and asked him what he was convicted of and this is the exact phrase the social worker told me "Oh he said it was just taking pictures of a 12 year old girl in lingerie, it was all in good fun" and at that I was stunned, my jaw hit the floor, all in good f****n fun, and that social worker left quickly after I regained my composure, and a few days later my mother actually got those "sealed" files and much to my surprise what he did and what I was accused of were identical to a T.

Later on I started filming my ex`s dads home because I knew she was taking my kids there and sure enough I got video evidence, of her taking and leaving them at a convicted predators house so I take this to DSS and speak to the caseworker and her boss and this is how that conversation went:
(Me) I have evidence of my ex taking and dropping my kids off at a sex offenders home
(caseworker) We cant take anything from you, your just trying to make yourself look innocent and you are the one accused
(Me) please just look at it, these are my kids and God only knows what he is doing to them.
(Caseworker) I'm sorry we just cant listen to anything you have to say.
I begged that woman for 10 more minutes until they finally ran us out of there.

Well that's only part of the investigation and although there is much more I will just speak on the basics and key points, now lets go to court.

The next year we finally made it to court, DSS tried to make me look like a major abuser with NO evidence, the computer evidence hadn't come back yet and we went ahead and tried the case, the assault charges on her and the kids were dismissed after there were no hospital records, so then we just waited for the computer to come back and when it did 6 months later it hit me like a ton of bricks, there were 969 files of pornography on my computer, me nor my roommate ever saw or knew those were on there and we had used the computer many times, but in the end I was proven not guilty and my roommate never told me before he testified that he overheard her dad who was there the night I left and was pulling the strings and telling her exactly what to say.

I received full custody of both of my kids with the suggestion to let her see them, this took everything we had, well over $20,000 and a house, but it doesn't end there, DSS and my ex harassed me so much that I gave over full custody to my mother, because they couldn't accuse or attack her and my kids are safe, but DSS still shows up for each and every little thing.

Fast forward to Jan 2014, I am playing my kids PS3 at around noon when the police pull up with DHS, I let them in and they say "we have a report of child pornography" so I gave them full consent and access to all computers and storage devices in the house and they took one laptop into custody, (the one I am using now actually) and it was brought back 2 weeks later and there was NO evidence found on it except pictures of one of my friends 14 year old son who had died and was close to me and my kids and I had his pictures blown up for his family, well they didn't ask and still don't know who, what, or why about those pictures, they weren't even in the slightest bit indecent yet when they came to bring my pc back they made sure DSS was with them and they said in front of me and the social worker "we know you have that stuff, we just didn't find it", to which I gave him h*ll because if they even thought that crap was here they would perform a search and seizure warrant, and if they really thought that they'd put me under the jail, they have questioned my kids at least 3 times and now they want us to do "voluntary services" and if we don't they will force us to, it has been quiet for well over a month and the social worker still calls trying to coerce us into taking their services but we have flatly refused and have sought an attorney and we have learned a whole lot from all of this.

I detest and despise those who hurt children, and I see to it that my children are healthy and well taken care of, yet they still attack me with no evidence and no real reason, and just so you know her dad did molest my son, after I begged DSS to see my evidence and to hear me, he was 5 when I got him back and he couldn't even speak anymore, he was terrified of the dark, loud noises, and of men, and he told my mom what all happened that he can remember and I asked not to know because I will seek old fashioned justice, my son is well adjusted now but DSS makes him relive all of that.

Theres a whole lot more but I tried to shorten it up as much as possible.

I will leave you all with a few pointers:
#1: You have the right to privacy under the 4th amendment and this includes DSS, you DO NOT have to let them in but if you don't it may make things worse.
#2: DO NOT go for court appointed if you need representation, they work for the court and the DA is their buddy, and IMO an out of town lawyer is the best route'
#3: NEVER confirm or deny anything, in their eyes you are lying and both make you look equally guilty.
#4: You are guilty until proven guilty, these people ARE NOT your friends and they DO NOT care about you or your family and ANYTHING they can make against you will be so.
#5: Answer any question directly but DO NOT elaborate, a simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.
#6: Do your own research, don't depend on them looking into your case or on them being honest.
#7: Always keep your temperament, they want you to get angry and/or give them a reason.
#8: This is a fight to the death, for the very most valuable thing you have, put your heart into it and don't break down and don't just depend on your lawyer but stand and fight even when you cant fight anymore, that's what I did and what seemed impossible happened.
#9: DO NOT give up, and keep the hope alive, you will have to dig down deep and force it up at times but stay the coarse, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
#10: When its over sue the legs off of them, if they slip up they lose their immunity, I could have sued and should have but I let someone talk me out of it, and because I didn't someone else may have suffered like I did.
#11: Its easy to forget that they have to prove their case.

Remember they get $1500. per month per child that they put into the system, cash for kids is big business.

Also, I beat them, I stomped a mudhole in them and walked through it and in the end I dared them and the court, I challenged them and that made me a permanent target for them, I have no reverse gear because I back down from nothing so don't make that mistake, when its over its over let it go or sue but don't lash out at them because that was my mistake and they remember it well.

Anyone here can win against them as I have, pray and believe, have faith and trust that God works for the good of those who love Him.

Amen to that last line!!

Great suggestions, and I'd like to add them (as an article) to the front page of the site if that's okay with you.

We all have a history. "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God" . . . but that shouldn't be cause for CPS accusations. History is history... but how often do they stigmatize parents with lines like "a history of ______________" when the misdeeds are more than two decades in the past?

I'm happy to hear about your success in fighting them off. Great success story!

I agree 100%, our case had very similiar results, we stood up for ourselves and eventually won. It is a very hard road to go down and yes you do feel like you dont stand a chance sometimes because that is what everyone keeps telling you. DONT LISTEN to any of them, they are terrorists. They think they can use threats of never getting your kids back to make you do whatever they want. This is still America and people still have rights, one of which is innocent until proven guilty so make them prove it. If you didnt do anything to harm your kids then they wont be able to prove that you did.

I feel for you, but at least your children are with you, safe and sound.
I am like you, in that I don't back down when I'm right, and I stand up against injustice. But, I fear that they have the power. They have now accused my daughter who wants custody of her nieces and nephew with neglect because she left them in a hotel room for 5 minutes while she unfroze the car doors to take them back to foster care. I'm not justifying what she did, but she did what she could given the circumstances. In their report, they neglected to mention that there were not enough gloves and hats for all 3 of the children. She has no record. A couple speeding tickets. This report also mentions that my oldest daughter wrote 666 on her wall as a teenager, and my daughters snuck out of the house as teenagers so I should not be considered for placement of them. It doesn't mention that my daughter's friends and her (I believe) wrote this on the wall. It also doesn't mention that I purchased alarms for all windows and doors to keep them inside. This report never mentions that the other grandmother, who is all for giving them to the foster parents, is an active drug addict (heroin, I think) and lives with a convicted pedophile, as well as has a criminal record.
I am so disgusted with this system. Please continue to fight for others dealing with this entity.
I am so glad that you had a common sense judge who could look through their lies. I am not done fighting. I will continue even if they do adopt them to the foster parents. I will do what I can to let these children know that we still love them and will always fight for them.
