been a long road

Postby kelz03103 » Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:17 am

hi all someof you may not remember me , i have not been on in a long while , I have been working on a lawsuit and petitions to help end the insanity of cps. my case started in august 2008 ended in Jan 2009, the Judge in my case actually praised us , I should get a copy of that . he said manythings such as this case really didn't rise to the level , to even be brought to court in the first place , yet ruled with the state to carry on with their "help" and "services" to my family. No one working with us had one negetive thing to say . the child therapy that was forced on us , and the domestic violence councelor as well , saw no need for us to see them. For the record I chose these people myself NOT CPS. Also I am not shy with doctors , or any other worker such as a councelor about how cps is "suggesting" we visit them , and how they have been up my ass for years. The state closed my case early , my children were never removed from my home , because I used the law , and I did get a free lawyer , a good one. I cooperated with every request even did some things ON my own I thought they would like , under protest , let em kno daily I think they suck. my house was "cluttered " this was the life threatening issue that warranted cps invading our lives , taking us to court and forcing us to accept several services. the children were cleared by their doctor , I was forced to take them and have notes saying they were all fine . medically 100% healthy , the cps worker made notes that the children seem to NOT be effected in any way by the "cluttered" dirty house ect , something along those lines , NOT effected , they were not abused assaulted or mentally damaged in ANY way , yet we got a finding of true on neglect , I neglect my house /wifely duties , not my kids , to cps it is the same . judge agreed , then praised us for being good examples and taking care of things so quickly and cooperating yadda yadda , un friggin believeable. I feel really empowered now , let me tell you I learned so much from this whole experience , court is scary . I know this though I am 100% sure cps will in the future have to come at me 100% full force with all they have , they better follow the law and uphold my constitutional rights , because I say so. I will not be intimidated ever again , I will not back down , and I fully expect them at some point to try again.
basically we lost in court , I suppose , but we won they did not get my children ,and they have no power over me , they cannot use intimidation with me , because it just will not work. I was recently threatened by a spiteful biatch to be called in i said do it , I am waiting for it . good luck to everyone if i can help drop me a note . ~Kelz~

I am so happy to hear you had a good outcome and are empowered by what you've learned about dealing with CPS and the court!

Please tell us how you got a free lawyer... was that a court appointed lawyer?

Hi Linda , this site was very helpful to me , still is , You asked how i got the free lawyer , this is exactly what I did , first i looked in the phone book and called the usual free legal aid numbers , then i looked up lawyers in my state Online and looked for expertise is child protection cases , i googled lawyers who fight and win Cps cases, so online I find one , I call her up , she tells me to wait it out , hard to do , but she explained that the first day of court is all about papers , you fill out financial avidavits, I am almost sure i got lucky but I had told the lawyer i called all about my case , her answer was , if i qualified for a free lawyer I would probably get her, the first day of court , she showed up announcing herself as my lawyer :) was great was thrilled with her instantly, also this is important , in my state they give u a little pamphlet telling you your rights lol which are all crap , but in this lil thing they give you it clearly says you have a right to a lawyer and that THEY will provide one , so the first thing out of my mouth was yeh if you want to question me you will have to provide me with this free lawyer like your pamphlet says , now i just say call MY lawyer , our case is closed out but every now and then someone wants to question me , usually the school, i tossed out the phrase lawsuit a few times , seems almost strange for people to be leaving me alone, hope this info helps :) ~Kelz~

Kelz,

The sad part about it is there is a social worker out there patting themselves on the back for 'doing so much good' and 'helping' your family.

When our case was FINALLY closed, the letter I got from the caseworker said it was a pleasure assisting my family. WTF??!!! Someone actually sleeps better at night by creating lies, making mountains out of molehills, and then considers themselves a 'hero' when the dust they made clears.

I also felt the same as you. I lost by still being 'founded' with neglect, but my family won because they never got my kids, and I refused to let them victimize my family anymore by using the laws in my favor.

Good for you!

update we got taken to court again , and this time the previous case that we were praised for closing so quickly and doing soo well , was brought up as a possible mistake , and oversight , they claimed if they hadn't rushed to close the first one , we wouldn't have a second one, wutta crock of chit . They told the court basically that they must have dropped the ball / missed something , so they suggested to the court that they be involved for a full year , to insure a full and thorough job was done this time around. We went through the whole process agin , for a year co,pleted all the bullshit services , i did manage to fight and get rid of one , by doing my research and discovering that my child didn't even qualify for it , due to and age restriction . At the end of it all we were praised again , and basically told we're not so bad , we were told by the case manager that she strongly felt they would leave us alone from now on , I will never believe that . I worry all the time , I know how they keep track of us , and monitor students in schools , hospitals , doctors offices , and even have their hands up the police departments ass. I do want to say this though , they again did NOT get my kids , so we were found guilty again , but we won again! the really twisted part is i have never been guilty , but i was even less guilty this time than the first time, the claims and concerns that they made up were less serious this time. I also learned more valuable lessons. One , and this is important for me to share , I opened my door no more than an inch , the bytch worker went to her office and wrote a full page on how my kitchen looked , theres no way she could have seen it , so I will not answer my door , unless a friend calls , lets me know they're coming for example , everyone knows this , I have them stand by the window so i can SEE who is at my door . They will never bag me with that trick again! The next time a worker is at my door , I will g oout the back door , lock it , walk around to the front , pass them a card from my lawyer , bid them good day , go back in , grab our emergency bags/clothes , (I keep packed) and I will be off to a friends a hotel or what have you. best of luck to everyone ~Kelz~

Kelz, it sounds like the second round was retaliation for the first round! Good thing you have a contingency plan for any future attempts at disrupting your family!

Yes Kelz sounds like she knows what to do and yes i suggest to everyone involved with cps once your case is closed leave the state and move somewhere different . Or at least get involved at your kids school that way they will know what kind of parent you are . but I left the state and they never bothered me again .
