Kinda like Hillary Clinton like ppl honestly she ain't an idiot her and her husband were lawyers nothing about either are careless especially after she destroyed a bunch of electronics and emails
The fact that CPS never took the kids from my meth head mother-in-law, despite how many people told me called them, tells me all I need to know about CPS.
Someone I know used to work for CPS and she would take away kids from families, and yet her house was disgusting and had dog poop everywehre and was just plain neglectful, multiple teachers called CPS for concerns about her kids but because she worked for it and would flash her badge nothing was done, sooo horrible how they can get away with so much just because they have a badge
@Charles W You do have a right to refuse them and ask them to leave your property. They need a warrant from there, and the way the law is structured, a warrant cannot be issued on a single witness statement alone.
Ok but here’s the thing- do you believe the parent? For the kid to have 2 skull fractures on both sides of the head, it would’ve had to be a lot worse than just rolling. We don’t know what truly happened and it truly could’ve been a case of abuse.
CPS do you remember Gabriel Hernandez the kid that was tortured to dead by his mother and her boyfriend he really needed help and y’all never took him away from these monsters I really don’t get it
@@arronmalt Dude fr, we're currently trying to get my friend out of her home and they haven't done anything, her sisters sent letters and voicemails and they never got back to them, the only time cps takes things serious is when the child isn't even in trouble.
It's sickening and I can't believe that the court does not even have a jury to make sure the judge is fair and unbiased. They do anything they want without any true reason and don't even care. They don't have any oversight. It's 3rd world country nonsense racket for money, and that's it.
Now think of all the families that didn't have enough for a decent attorney. I was one. They illegally removed my daughter and put her in foster care on false allegations. I immediately proved them wrong but was forced to fight for 8 months to get her back. It is the most traumatic experience of my life and my baby was neglected in foster care
My grandchildren were molested during foster care. They tried hiding this from my daughter in law and son. During a court proceeding to get their back....the judge notified us. They tried to even hide the person who did this. I'm adopted. Over thirty five years ago. I was raped in foster care by a teen foster boy. I was told I don't know what rape was and I was to young for that to happen.....still remember.
Amanda Kelley Not really. In most cases CPS relies on people’s ignorance. You don’t have to let them in your home no matter what they threaten you with; no warrant, no entry. The burden of proof is on the agency and in most cases they get “proof” when people let them in their home. Also, don’t sign anything. Once you sign any agreement or sign away your parental rights you’re locked into the system. Just don’t cooperate, and, if possible, get an attorney.
@msaimee2012 how did you come to that conclusion based off the fact of him saying you dont have to cooperate with anything they say unless court ordered?
The CPS workers should be paying for it, not our tax money. I'm no libertarian, but I'm tired of poor people once more paying for what someone else in power did!
I need this lawyer. CPS has had my son for 30 months. 30!!!!!! He shouldn't have been taken, let alone be gone still. I am so happy for this family. CPS is horrible across the country. They need to start being "punished" for breaking the law.
My mom works at a daycare. There was one family, the baby broke his leg getting caught on a car seat. Took him to the hospital. No other injuries, but doctors still had to call cps. Dont know what happened, but for some reason the agent felt disrespected and took the kid. The baby had a grandma in town willing to take him, but she put him with a foster family. Got chewed out by the judge for not putting him with grandma. Baby is back with parents now, but I would sue. Lady went on a power trip.
I and my baby brother were taken by CPS. If not for CPS taking us away, we would have suffered from malnourishment and us constantly being sick (our home was absolutely filthy and we didn't get proper food to eat). The judge gave my parents ways to improve the living conditions, go to marriage counseling, and many options to change themselves so they could have us back. I think giving them ways to change to keep their kids is fair as in the end, it can be heartbreaking on the kid when the child realizes they were forcefully taken. A good chunk of kids end up in awful foster homes, like my brother and me. We ended up in a god awful foster home that didn't truly treat us right, getting angry at us for things out of our control as we were YOUNG CHILDREN. They didn't feed us good food at that and gave special treatment to others. For a parent to fight to have their kids back and they know they'll change, is completely fair to me.
Child/Human trafficking. The stats at how many children go missing, harmed and abused in their corrupt system is staggering; Then add in the number of children killed in their 'care". The goal is to sever the Parent Child bond and move to terminate the Parental Rights.
The messed up truth, is that happy, healthy children are easier to manage, cause less issues and are easier adopt out, while the maladjusted children from bad situations have too many emotional issues and baggage, and end up languishing in group homes and orphanages.....It’s pretty disgusting honestly.
Thats how my CPS case started 6 years ago took my daughter to her primary care doctor and one day the nurse/ doctor said she was under wait for one day,... and they called CPS on me,... but every day after that my daughters wait was up to date accroding to them and its riddiculas once CPS is called on you its hard to get out of it,...
We went through this for 4yrs. Being an African American family we were completely stripped of Rights, lawyers wouldn't even help us it seemed like everyone was connected and our entire family was denied kinship rights, my nephew was placed and abused and that foster care was allowed to keep other children and was never reported until I forced an online report after being denied the ability to report her and nothing was done. My nephew was hospitalized behind her care for 7 days. My sister was stripped of legal representation, the entire County and Hospital fabricated reports which are all on record and show what was done to us by the agency and medical professionals. Court records show what was happening and no one stopped this. My sister and I continue to fight, my sister was threatened to stop fighting or all of her children would be removed. By the grace of God we were able to overcome this. Awareness needs to be brought to this because no family should ever have to endure this. Ever!!
@@aspieangel1988I too was racially profiled in a hospital and got my new born babies stripped from me I’ve been fighting for years for my two boys I don’t have the funding for lawyers I just have prayers any help I get I’ll gladly appreciate it
@@vivi44 Well that makes sense, because I have witnessed a judge just going along with CPS's orders, even after he admitted to coming to a different conclusion himself. I was thinking he was going to release children from CPS custody, but he kept them longer for no reason instead, letting CPS take the lead.
I had CPS called on my mom for being passed out from a meth crash with strange men in the home. She was able to answer the door so they didn't take me away. I was only 2 years old but this is what my aunt tells me. Weird how I wasn't taken but these kids were.
CPS was called on my when I was getting divorced and they came to talk to me. I had my lawyer there when they showed up. They were assholes at my front door until I brought them in and introduced them . Boy did their tone change and they left and didn’t come back
The system is sooooo broken. These kids get taken away from a loving home with NO PROOF of child abuse yet kids are getting abused and murdered by people with MULTIPLE complaints to CPS against them who CPS then dismisses. Disgusting.
It's a business, it's too expensive to investigate the kids that really need help. So they go after the easy pickings which happens to be the innocent most of the time.
Remember the man who with cps permission had visitations with his children despite the traumatic concerns of the mother and one day hacked the one to death and blew up his home killing the other and himself?
@@alexalevon4885 they ignore gabriel fernandez and he died when he was experiencing obvious abuse while children are removed who are clearly in good homes all the time
@@probrickgamer did I say it was perfect? No, some workers are horrible and I’ll the first to admit that, but by law, they have to act on tips. Unfortunately some do not
I think they do it because it’s easier to take children from parents that are reasonable and normal but they probably can’t be bothered with the hassle they get off of the dickhead parents that are nutters and couldn’t care less for their kids
They want adoptable kids. They get a federal bounty for every kid removed, plus monthly maintenance which is enhanced if they can get a mental health disability rating, then bonus upon adopting them out to strangers. It may be unintended consequences, but there are some serious Federal incentives for taking, keeping, and adopting out marketable kids. Not to mention the more than half a million kids that “disappear” out of foster care unreported, mostly trafficked.
i got two horrible CPS stories. they were called on my dad because he’s a drug addict and we were living with him (16 me, 19, 21). they didn’t call my mom, who had no idea that anything was going on. they interviewed all of us and let our dad take us back after he was 3 days sober, then he of course went and got high again and we struggled for two more months until we gathered the courage to ask for help from family. they were INCREDIBLY neglectful in that case. i didn’t go to school because i didn’t have anyone to take me, we were without food for weeks because my dad spent his money on drugs. it was awful and now the next one.....my moms friend had his kids dropped off at CPS by his abusive drug addict ex wife while he was at work, and they won’t give his kids back because he had meth in his hair (from his ex) and are forcing him to take class after class and keep on adding more after they tell him when can get his kids back and keep delaying it. so he’s having to hire a lawyer to prove that he didn’t do anything wrong so he can get his kids back, or he’ll go to prison. it’s a ridiculous corrupt system they have in place
Pfff you deserved it. You should of had courage by your age but you decided to be a weakling and not do anything about it. I have no sympathy for people who are playing the victim. I find it hilarious that you had to "go weeks without food" like ever heard of getting a job?
My son is a deputy and my fiancé’s nephew who is an amazing dad and has. Wife and 4 children, excellent provider. There son fell and hit his head playing, is was 2 years old. CPS was called and came at night to take all of the children. Thank goodness my son was called and he helped in this situation. He remained calm and spoke to CPS about the family and was able to have the children stay with grandparents. The children were traumatized and scared. They later said “will those bad people come back and take me away” this was a fear because of how COS handled it, they came with aggression and no regard for the children’s fears. It was unprofessional and they had no proof any abuse happened. The doctors stated they did not know and just asked for their opinion, but CPS came in charging and uncaring of their role and how it affected the children. That is my concern as a clinical therapist, is how CPS handled this concerning the welfare of the children. They caused harm and had no education. I saw a young women early 20’ s with a high school education come in and dictate what she thought. These workers do not have any real therapeutic training, they have HighSchool diplomas, that’s it. How are they qualified??
The standards are getting lower all the time. Currently where I live a caseworker doesn’t need a degree in social work. She could have a degree in French films and they hire her. Removing a child should only be done in the most extreme cases. Growing up believing your mommy and daddy will protect you from anything is a huge part of a happy childhood but for these kids they find out that that’s not true. A stranger can come rip them away and there’s nothing the parents can do. Destroys their sense of security. One of the worse parts is CSB isn’t held accountable. In a case I know of the worker actually forged a signature and got a naughty note in her file. There should be a bipartisan agency that’s a watchdog over them because there certainly isn’t now!
This happened to my family but we had no one to speak up for us im still trying to bring my kids home i have four children my oldest is 7 years old my youngest is 8 months they were kidnapped over false allegations
I hate to break it to you but CPS workers have constitutional rights just like you or me. That being said I'm not sure how he was able to invoke 5th Amendment rights in a civil lawsuit. As far as I know the 5th Amendment only applies to criminal proceedings.
@@willdwyer6782 People often take the 5th in civil trials when a criminal case has not yet been adjudicated. Remember, anything said "on the record" can come back on a person in a criminal case. This is typically why most people wait until after the criminal trial is over before opening a civil case. Once someone has been tried & a verdict has come in, jeopardy attaches, and they can no longer face any related charges; however, once there's no longer the threat of a criminal trial, the 5th no longer applies. I hope that makes sense, LOL!
@@xamyx2205 when I went to court to fight a traffic ticket I was called to the witness stand. When I objected on 5th Amendment grounds, the judge said that it was a civil matter since I was charged with a civil infraction and the 5th Amendment only applies in criminal cases.
@@willdwyer6782 It's kind of hard to explain, but I'll use Casey Anthony as an example. Although she told some outrageous lies, and an innocent woman had her reputation tarnished (lost her job & home), she chose to wait until after the trial to sue. If she sued before the criminal trial was over, Casey could have plead the 5th, as anything said in the civil trial could be used against her in the criminal trial, so it would have been allowed on those grounds. In your case, there was no pending criminal case, I'm presuming, so there was nothing to incriminate yourself against. The same thing happened in the OJ Simpson case, where the family waited until after the verdict.
they came to my house and stole my children at Gun Point over false accusations from a psycho neighbor with a grudge. don't put any faith in them needing warrants, they'll write up whatever they want to get in your door~
I just seen a video here that shows the CPS worker forged up a warrant just to get into his house. Does anyone know if they're supposed to do a home check before they close the case? Why do they want to enter the home so bad?
That’s what happened to that Lil boy Adrian the step mother obviously knew this same advice that you are saying and took it to advantage and that lil boy was being abused and tortured by his father and step mother then when he finally died they fed his body to the pigs ! Cps or DCS needs to get there stuff together and stop bullying the one that have nothing to hide and start focusing on the ones that are being tortured
That's why you get one of them video doorbells and act like you aren't there and tell them to come back in 2 weeks when your home and keep telling them you aren't home and re-enforce your doors and windows so they can't easily break in and have an escape hatch that's very inconspicuous
I've been thinking about suing them for what they did to my family. The hell my kids have had to go through and all the lies they put in their copy and paste court documents. They flat out harrassed me and my kids for 3 or 4 years..
Don't wait. There is a limited time in which you can bring a civil rights lawsuit and the FIRST thing you have to do is INFORM the attorney general in your state (look at your state's statues) that you will be filing a lawsuit against the government. You MUST do this FIRST.
I wish they had to for my family! My granddaughter was legally kidnapped from me. I wrote a book about it called "For The Love Of Zoe". Kentucky is the worst state for legal kidnapping. I brought my granddaughter home from the hospital and was raising her...she was treated like a princess...and everything was fine...but when you get people with money involved in things, they pretty much get what they want, right or wrong...no matter the circumstances, money does talk. And unfortunately I didn't have money to talk. My granddaughter will know the truth one day. She is now 10 yrs old. I haven't seen her since she was 3. It's so sad what happens in this world. Abused children are kept with the abusers, and children who are perfectly taken care of, are legally kidnapped, because those are the kids they get the most money out of.
1,100 children drop off the radar each year. and thats just the ones they admit to. there are over 6,000 reports of children being taken by CPS and not returned, yet CPS will claim they have no record of the family...
I am a forensic nurse that works in private practice. I see parents get buried by CPS constantly for accidental injuries. I have seen them strip a week old infant out of a mother's arms because the 5 year old face planted at the child care facility. The facility claimed the child came to school that way to avoid responsibility and ended up destroying a family. It took the family 9 months to get their children back. The infant now has severe behavioral and emotional issues after being bounced to 12 foster families in that short period of time. CPS needs significant oversight which is completely lacking. While children are abused and we do need to intervene, CPS takes their bully tactics and frank ignorance to a whole new level.
Thank you ma'am for sharing....I WISH more professionals would be willing to speak up against wrong doing....everyone is soooooo afraid that doing or saying anything will get THEM into trouble. So yeah...it's REALLY great that you were willing to share instead of keeping "hush hush" about this subject. MORE good people NEED to hear your message...at the VERY least your info would be a comfort to anyone going through undeserved troubles...
Thank you. A teacher at my daughters school called cps on me. All because my daughter had a mark on her forehead. If that teacher had of spoken with the special ed teacher. The teacher would've found out that my daughter was drawing on her forehead with crayons. The scariest part from cps was what the worker said. The worker mentioned how all their kids in their case load were on some type of medication.
Kind of same thing happened to me. Took my kids on a false report without investigating it. A year later gave my kids back with a "We are sorry". Two people fired and judge ordered them to stay away from me. I should have sued them.
You are lucky and I'm happy for you. Most of the time when they screw up they just fabricate things to cover themselves. You can't sue the entity using the same entity.
My children were apprehended years ago now as i had left an abusive situation and was staying at a shelter. i was eight months pregnant when i fled and had my two year old son at the time. during my stay my family was able to care for my son throughout the delivery of my baby. when i got back to the shelter from the hospital i had noticed my baby not looking well at all and had brought him to the doctors and they said they didnt see anything wrong with him and to not worry. following their advice i went back to the shelter/home. seeing my sons health decline i brought him back to the hospital, a total of four times, still nothing was done. at this time they put up a red flag assuming i had post partum. they must have contacted CAS at that time with me unaware. being on ontario works i received $20 every four days for living expenses while at the shelter which barely helped to cover costs for formula and diapers. however did not ask my family for help as they werent financially stable either. that night getting home from the hospital i had called community care for help for a ride to toronto sick kids as i wanted my son to see a doctor there as i knew something was wrong still. with $20 in my pocket i made that trip barely having food for myself i contacted my social services worker and they explained that i could get coupons for the hospitals cafeteria and not to worry but it would be sparingly. i took that offer. of course getting to the hospital i explained my situation there financially and what my worker had said and they gave me coupons, again not aware of what they were planning. my son turned out to be really sick, he had his urine go back into his kidney everytime he peed and hersprungs disease and sorry if im not spelling that right at the moment. finally we had a diagnosis and he was treated right away, i was told if i didnt bring him in the worst couldve happened considering he was only just over a week old at that point. my son also had multiple cysts on his right kidney and was only functioning with one. when i got back home to the shelter CAS was already calling me stating if i didnt bring my children into the society i would have a warrant for my arrest claiming that i could not afford to care for my children as i was staying in the shelter. more or less because i used the $20 on my kids for their formula and diapers instead of myself having food while at the hospital as i had food for myself at the shelter. to this day a decade later my kids were apprehended and have been adopted to another family. my rights were stripped from me and because i felt by my leaving an abusive situation my kids are now gone. I'm praying this never happens to anyone else. i would and have done everything that i can for my children. if it wasnt for me pushing to go to another hospital my son wouldnt be here right now. knowing hes healthy and loved and alive because of my actions means the world to me even though im not able to be around to love him back.
I just read your story and I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You don't deserve that, especially if you were trying to protect yourself and your children by getting away from an abusive situation and doing everything you could to get to the hospital. They shouldn't have taken your children especially over something like money, they should have found a way for you to get help if they thought you didn't have enough. Like you said, if it wasn't for your actions then your son may not be here and if it weren't for the ignorance of the doctors maybe they would have figured out what was wrong sooner instead of saying everything was fine. It's so wrong that they take children away from so many that don't deserve it. They tried to mess with me over an accident that resulted in an ER visit with my daughter and lied on reports and falsified. They didn't take my children but they indicated me for neglect and I think they may have tried to in the future had I not done an appeal. I got a lawyer and won the appeal and the supervisor got in trouble since she was the one who lied on the reports and she never even talked to me! The case worker was nice and had all info correct, the hospital had most info correct when interviewed, but somehow the supervisor who never spoke with me or hospital staff took everyone's statements and twisted and falsified them! The judge could tell what she had done since he had all original statements and he was furious. He said these are the kinds of people who ruin the lives of innocent families. It's ridiculous. Thankfully I had family to front me the attorney fees and won but so many aren't as fortunate and it's so sad. I'm so sorry your situation didn't turn out better. It's not fair for them to break families apart that don't deserve it. I wish you the best and I hope some day you get the chance to be in your children's lives like you deserve. Sending hugs your way! ❤
This happened to me when my son was 7 months old. I was at work and my now ex husband was watching him, and no, he didn't hurt him, but everyone thought he did. The only thing my ex did wrong was keep him in the jumparoo too long and we didn't adjust it the way it should have been. I come home and my baby is in his chair that rocks or you can make it still and he looked pained. I knew something was wrong, my ex husband said he just woke up and wasn't acting the same. We called an ambulance because we weren't sure if he injured himself and if putting him in a car seat would injure him more. This was our first child and we didn't know much. When we got to the hospital they took x-rays and then CPS was called. He had a healing fracture in his tibia, mainly closer to his ankle, but there's a special name for this so called fracture because at the time I was a medical coder and it wasn't exactly a fracture, it was a bending or buckling of the bone, which could lead to a fracture, but the one he recently had was near his hip and growth plate area, it was fractured. After he was released we were allowed to take him, but we had to take him to CPS and they took him from us into foster care, my mom wasn't allowed to have him because she had been babysitting within that 48 hour period of the fracture. I can honestly say the foster home he lived in for 5 months was good because the woman taking care of him was a respectable attorney and has become a judge. They believed my ex hurt him and it took 5 months for me to get custody, I missed out from his 7 months to after he turned one, but I was allowed to have him on his first birthday. I thought I would never get him back by the way CPS treated me, my ex, and my mom. All because of a simple accident of having him play with such joy in his jumparoo and not realizing we hadn't adjusted it correctly although we thought we had. CPS goes after the innocent and the poor or whomever they think they could potentially steal their kids from and place in a better home. They don't understand accidents happen and then what their deception costs these families. I literally was depressed and wanted to end my life a couple of times because at the time in my state if your child is taken away from you forever then if you have another child CPS will automatically take that child away too. All I have ever wanted was be a mom and if they took him away what was the point anymore, those were my thoughts. CPS lied to all of us and made us go through unnecessary hoops to get custody back. Hell, even after having my second child, basically 4 years after that incident, they re-entered briefly because my ex-husband went to jail for 5 months and was on probation for 4 years for this incident because they thought he did it since he was home alone with our son, and had the authority to say whether my youngest was allowed to go home with us or stay in the hospital. They allowed us to take him home, but made sure my mom was watching both kids while I worked and she would check up on us every week for the next 30-60 days. After that CPS was out of my life, but it was a painful ordeal, and wasted their time on us when they should have been helping other children that sadly needed it and weren't getting it. Sorry for anyone that has to go through this, it's a rough journey.
I still love the time CPS came to yell at me after just moving into a new apartment. They wanted to take my 2 kids away but uh, I don't have kids nor will I ever lol. They even tried to get the police involved with searching my apartment but jokes on them, my husband worked at the police department. Those people will say anything they can to get a mob mentality to incriminate you.
OMG, they are so incompetent! I got a run-in with them after my husband fired his employee (which had come over to our home before). That dude called CPS on us, because I homeschooled my children, claimed that we had no food in the house and because there was a stain on the carpet. Thankfully, after showing compliance with homeschool laws, and them interviewing my kids (and inspecting our very full fridge), she left. However, she kept on trying to push Medicaid on us, even though my husband made way too much money to qualify, even applied for us, which is simply stupid and it would have meant that we would have committed fraud if we would have used that insurance. Maybe that was what she was trying to get us to do - break the law so that they had a reason to come and take our kids. The kids and I had nightmares for weeks, and my daughter got scared every time the door rang.
My oldest son accidentally dropped his squirming baby brother in the kitchen. He was scared and crying, I was terrified, my youngest was wailing. I knew an e.r. visit was necessary, and it would have been better for my oldest to stay at home and get love and reassurance from his dad. Instead, I had to take him to the e.r. with me and told him he had to explain to everyone there what happened. CPS, is every family's bogeyman.
It is different state to state. There will always be nuance to processes across agencies in different areas. "CPS" is not a person or being, but consists of many people who do not always make the best choices or follow protocol. The public should take careful thought before making generalizations that actually do more damage by spreading misinformation. Hopefully the CPS agents in this case were dealt with appropriately, but a few people do not represent the whole.
This happened to me, I had my month old on the floor changing his diaper. He kicked my leg and his head hit a chair. I still don’t have him back yet he is now 3. Havnt been allowed to see him for 2 years. If I had the money I’d sue child services for the hell they have caused me and my son.
Im so sorry my four children were kidnapped by cps over false allegations i have paper documents to back up my defense its been 5 months now they still havent given my children back
Luckily, this family had the means to hire an attorney. Look at all the families who don't have the means. They are just left to the curb to try to fend for themselves when their kids are taken unlawfully. The CPS system is there to protect our children and it has worked for many instances; however, the injustices that it has done to many families is heartbreaking.
Bree C DCF...(Department of Children & Families in Connecticut does the exact samething CPS does in legally kidnapping children under perjury with fabricated evidence they created themselves. DCF preys on low income parents that don't have the money to defend themselves. DCF should be being mentioned as well as CPS is☹
@@Tiffany24117 I don't have children myself, but a good friend does and they are low income. For an extremely ridiculous reason CPS was called on them by their estranged oldest son who was living at his girlfriend's house at the time. Luckily, her 2 youngest weren't taken away, but the case stayed open for a long time because they lived in a farm house and the worker says the property, not the house, was unsafe, which was far from the truth. I told my friend that I would get an attorney for her if it came to it. Then you see children in situations who need help but because the family appears to have money, etc, the children are left in a desperate situation and don't get the help they need. It is a screwed up system.
Still have to watch out for attorneys who work WITH CPS. Thought we found a good one to fight for us NOPE all he did was fight against us, made it harder and we didnt have ANOTHER $4,000 to shell out to another attorney.
Exactly! Never trust CPS! Having a real lawyer is the only reason they got their kids back. CPS will lie to parents and the to the court. They flat out make shit up. Disgusting!
CPS is a joke!!! My daughter's school called CPS bc we didn't make an appointment to see if she needed glasses in a timely matter! We had to deal with a caseworker coming to our home 3 times grilling us like we are horrible parents, however I pull up to the school and there are parents smoking in the car with their kids 🤷
This kind of thing happens all the time. We need to limit the power of CPS, eliminate mandatory reporting, and allow recourse for false reporters and overzealous agents.
Under federal law first-degree kidnapping carries a penalty of 20 to life and there is no statute of limitations. If the kidnapping victim dies while being held by the kidnapper or kidnappers, it becomes a death penalty offense.
Money. Honestly they get paid for the nunber of cases they have and the length the cases last. If it's a good family ..its an easy case they don't actually have to follow up on them or do any hard work. Easy money for the CPS system. Sad and sick.
I spent my entire childhood having dislocated limbs reduced at home because no doctor could figure out why and just assumed my parents were yanking my arms out of socket. It took 45 years to get a diagnosis and proof that there's something actually wrong.
My friend worked for CPS and was fired after being forced to jump through hoops and evaluations and put on leave after she showed what was called "emotional instability" for crying privately at work after encountering a horrible case of abuse. They make it impossible for truly caring people to do their jobs and be human at the same time.
That is one of the biggest problems in Government. These thugs are covered with immunity, secrecy, and legal representation all covered by the tax payer. Little to no accountability and even if their is disciplinary action (barring legal action) those records are sealed. CPS did not pay that money, the citizens of that community and state did, and even you and I in a sense as federal funds are given to them. I imagine the CPS workers are just sitting in fear as they face a grilling from their bosses (please note sarcasm at last statement).
the person who gave the order would have to have been a judge as CPS has no legal authority nor do cops to just go into your home and or take your children away without a signed warrant based upon probable cause and oath of office. find the judge's signature and remove him from his bench for life.
In my case, it wasn't CPS being the "bad guy." It was the (at that time) district attorney. He hated my parents so when I landed in the foster care system, he did everything in his power to get me put up for adoption (I met my potential adoptive parents. They told me that was why we were talking & meeting. I am FB friends with my potential adoptive brother). Fast forward 15 yrs, I'm in a custody battle with my ex boyfriend for our 2 niblets, and guess who the JUDGE in the case is... Yup you guessed it. The former D.A. that tried to screw my parents. Needless to say, things did not work well in my or the niblets' favor. Fast forward another 13 YEARS, mountains of evidence, the sworn testimony of both our now teenaged niblets & sworn testimonies of several mutual friends FOR me, the JUDGE granted me sole custody. (Intentional domestic abuse & child abuse end your rights. Male or female. Period.)
I can't overstate how amazed I am that the judge actually ruled in their favor. The courts almost never rule against government entities, no matter how obvious it is that they were in the wrong.
Nodak81 Not exactly. The courts are always a mix because most of the judges by both party affliations are bought to do the bidding of the elites, super rich, and status quo. But there is still judges who will rule in favor of people, just varies I guess.
They listen to the caseworker my teens are not happy they never ask them but assuming there being manipulated by me which is far from it I barley get my boys who are 15 to clean their room lol manipulative in bad way no I love my children someone has fed them lies and those who lie and will find out the truth for themselves and it will eat at them. The problem is a lot of parents are enduring the same treatment and I understand now it’s not just our family but many good families
Yep Anyone who calls in a report except when the children are in danger of ACTUAL harm, should be given jail time. I've had so many angry ppl call CPS on me and my husband - some even family... But when my children were ACTUALLY hurt by other family members and I reported it, guess what happened? That's right. Nothing.
I got interviewed in 6th grade after my school reported 99% lies about my parents. This was in 2001 or 2002. My dad spanked me before school that day, and I showed up sobbing. Apparently the school counselor reported WAAAYYY more than just the slaps my dad would regularly give me - all lies. Luckily the CPS people in my area at the time were actually super awesome! They interviewed me, my sister (i think), and my parents all separately. They told my dad he can't hit my sister and I and offered for them to open a case to receive help with parenting (I wish my parents had done that - there was still verbal and emotional abuse going on. Mum wanted to, Dad panicked that they'd just take us). Unfortunately, because the social worker only had proof that dad hit us and he agreed to stop, he did have to close the case. I think he suspected the emotional abuse tbh but had no genuine proof and myself and my family honestly didn't even know that was inappropriate until it was too late. My school, however, reported that my dad beats us and my mom. They said my mom was on hard drugs. I don't even know what else; there might have been a lie about my mom being a prostitute too. CPS was already VERY used to false reports being made by my school system to such a degree that they started to not even take them very seriously eventually. My parents threatened the school system with court if they ever put in a false report on me or my sister again; not many people actually stand up for themselves with that school system. That bitch counselor was TERRIFIED of me until I graduated high school after that. I have friends who have kids in that school now, I told them if they pull something with them to bring me with them to meet with the faculty - they'll listen.
Part 1 So my oldest son was 4. It was summer before he started Kindergarten. I was in Nursing school... His Dad and his Dads family were in real tight with all the higher ups in our county. My son's Grandpa was the high school principal, then he was on school board, his wife was Kindergarten teacher for 30 something years, and he went to high school with the judge and any of the other higher ups as well as they all farmed. So I was ordered to share split custody of my son when he was 4 months old and I was still breastfeeding.
Part 2 Anyway, fast forward to I'm on my way home to pick son up from Dads bc it's my turn... I was driving back from class when my sons dad called me. "Just let him stay tonight if you dont mind? He wants to go to church AND we're going fishing!" I was tickled that my son wanted to do all that stuff with his dad bc usually he hated going over there and his Dad never spent any time with him. (My son didnt even really stay with him, he stayed at his Grandparents. ) Anyway I agreed bc I was trying to show cooperation. Later that night my sons dad called me and - 'while we were on the phone my son 'fell out of bed'. Supposedly. The story I was given was that my son rolled off his bed without even waking up. So his dad told me he just put him back in bed...
In Los Angeles County a judge put a restraining order on DCFS to stay away from my family. They tried violating the restraining order and went to my kids school where a nun told the social worker that they had a copy of the restraining order and were going to call 911. They opted to leave.
When my daughter was only 18 months a doctor at the ER in our local hospital put on her chart CLUMSY CHILD DO NOT CALL CPS. Seriously. She is turning 29 this year and still trips over air pockets on the floor. Lol
I took my 3 mos old to ER because I was accidentally putting too much formula in his bottles and wanted to make sure he wasn’t dehydrated. I was interrogated and treated like a criminal instead treated like a concerned first time parent. I quickly learned that the hospital is not a safe place and I should avoid it if I can. I feel awful about that but that experience freaked me out!
If I had a penny for every time I heard that I could go on a nice vacation. As a brand new, first time mom, I am terrified of the day my baby falls or gets hurt and requires medical attention. It is to the point that I find myself stopping her from standing on her own because I dont have carpet in the house. All it takes is trip to the ER or a vengeful friend/family member and your children are as good as orphans and you are now a shit parent. Just had a friend get CPS called on them because THE PARENTS(not the child) smelled like a cigarette...and we wonder why the US birth rate is plummeting.
These damn hospitals are going to cause the deaths of innocent children if parents are too afraid to go to the hospital and second think it due to threat of cps
@@mamatlacuacha Actually, if the hospital doesnt report...they can be fined by a huge amount... And they dont get for keeping the kid there...see, CPS would have to actually pay up for that to work...and they never do... Source: I have worked in nursing for a decade now, and have seen the process. CPS jumps on the cases where the report made is 'nothing is amiss' but they ignore the 'this kid has been in for 'nanny elbow' four times in six months' reports... When a child does wind up staying at the hospital, the state NEVER pays, or they only pay a small percentage, and the hospital ends up footing a massive bill, and depending on the state, they be required to provide tens of thousands in care, for a child that came in for a bump on the head because they ran into a door. (ever seen a toddler do that? i have, several times. My daughter once sat in the corner when she was three, and just bounced her head off the wall for a solid ten minutes because she 'was bored') Hospitals dont want to file these reports half the time. But we are literally required by law to submit a report EVERY SINGLE TIME a child comes to the ER. They catch you not reporting, and the nurse and doctor in charge could lose their license to practice, face criminal charges, and the hospital will face fines that range from thousands, to tens of thousands.
@@mamatlacuacha Its been the law in most States since the 90s. I work in healthcare, as an RN, and most people dont know about this. 99% of the time, nothing comes of the reports. Even if the doctor explicitly states they suspect abuse. In a decade of nursing, ive never seen CPS respond to an actual report of abuse, but i have seen them respond to incidents with no evidence of abuse, as if the staff had called them and shouted 'abuse abuse!' I understand at least, the idea behind the reports. If a child is taken to multiple hospitals, the records might not come connect, but with the reports, its supposed to act like a safety net of sorts, the hospital might not catch repeated visits, but the reports that are submitted will. As for the medicaid system, you are correct, in that, bu since most people dont quite understand the different branches and systems of government, i didnt really feel like breaking that down. Hell, ive had to deal with it before, and it makes my head hurt.
Ya know something, that's the first time I've ever read a comment like yours that mentions the hospital bit. I can't believe I didn't think of that myself and more so that again, this is the first time I've read a comment like yours!!!
It's called being a Mandated Reporter. If a Dr/Nurse/WHATEVER doesn't make the call, it can cost them their license to practice and so much more. The reason THIS was taken so seriously, was because it falls under potential Abusive Head Trauma with the multiple skull fractures. Since the Drs couldn't come to a determination of what/how, they did their job to report it. CPS mishandled this situation, and jumped the gun with assumptions. There is no supplement for intuition and working knowledge/experience, when you have someone who thinks they're doing what's best for the kids. The kids were placed in Kinship care by the sound of the report, not in the custody of the hospital. CPS agencies across the US have extremely high turnover, high degree requirements, the workers often aren't paid much. It can take years to build a case against the families that hop from coverage area to coverage area, and on top of that you have to keep in mind what's feasible. The likely cause here was a CW who was still young in their career with CPS, has too high of a caseload, and not enough time or resources to be effective and fair. Working WITH CPS agencies, I can assure you, without context of what goes on within these agencies... it will always look like they're doing the wrong thing, or are too late for the ones who needed the help. All of the attention towards CPS function in the light of Jerry Sandusky, and changes to CPSL have made an already tough and messy subject even more so.
As a psst CPS worker I have always told families to keep a journal of every transactions with CPS, service providers and anyone else. CA is a 2 party record so you can't record phone call. The ledger needs to have date. Time, person's name, job classification, as verbatim as possible write exactly what is said and then tell the person that you have written down everything g and it will be given to your attorney. If you dont have an attorney, just keep the information. Write line after line don't leave any spaces between the conversations. Make sure you sign every conversation then move to the next conversations.
I got interviewed at school as a child about injuries I never sustained. Always wondered if some poor kid was getting abused and neglected during the time they were trying to convince me I was
CPS came to our home a few years back and removed our kids. We found out later the case worker was looking for my husband's brother which was doing drugs and abusing his kids. He was hiding from them and the case worker thought by taking our kids it would keep her out of trouble. We were proven innocent, got our kids back, and she got fired for what she did. Unfortunately my husband's brother is still in hiding. We haven't heard from him in over six years.
Stories like yours should be more widely heard. I know of damn little good from CPS. While so many cases of real abuse go uninvestigated, like the Turpins, regular folks are going through extreme family trauma. Folks should be outraged! Glad your situation wasn't more tragic. Peace & love from N. Georgia
@@georgepickett6853 if they did that then they would most definately not get their kids back, best think to do most of the time involving the government is record it ask politely why and argue civilly then get a lawyer and fix the problem and if necessary due the heck out of the person/agency
CPS and DHHS NEED to be held accountable for their lack of judgement and in some cases, their vengeful actions. Good for this family and a HUGE THANK YOU to the lawyer who believed in them!
When I was about 4, I fell off a chair (because I was a dumb kid) and sprained my elbow. My memory isn’t very vivid of the event but this is what my mom told me. So, she took me to an urgent care or something and I had my arm checked out because it was hurting. The doctor took a look at it and was doing all her things and then made one big assumption. She said that the injury looked like it was caused by “excessive pulling” (I fell off a chair, remember), like my mom abused me, and my mom could tell by the concern in her voice. I understand that it is a doctor’s job to make sure a patient is okay, but it’s crazy to me how some doctors will just assume that a child’s injury is caused by abuse. They’re children. Children who don’t know better and will always get themselves hurt or into trouble in some way
They threatened to remove our kids if we didn’t let them inside the house to inspect . I made them leave and they came back with the sheriff. I told the sheriff the same thing i told them I don’t have kids!! Finally the Sheriff agreed it must have been the tenants before me because I have never had a child
It's against the law for them to threaten at any point to take your children away. The only thing I did was fight back as best i could against them and it made things 10x worse on me.
Rapidly took their child away yet go into homes with feces on the floor and babies covered in bruises and below weight and they turn a blind eye. Countless horror stories about CPS. When are they going to get investigated?
Something like this has happened to me and my wife . CPS got me fired from my job and put me on a protective order and told the judge and my work I failed a drug test but i had a prescription.
Cps is quick to take children away from good parents but love trying to keep the ones who are strung out and actually abusing their children together. If they parent says they don't want the child they try to put them in parenting classes and everything to help get them back. Actually love and want your child and they will fight tooth and nail to keep them away from you. Child gets hurt and you scared to get them medical help cause they will accuse you of knocking them upside their head.
Yeah they do! So many times I have read where a child has been given away for their safety. They have forced they parent (s) into parenting classes, returned the children, and they are killed. My heart goes out to these parents. Good for them. They should have been given more plus the termination if the persons who disrupted their happy home.
Devonte Hart & his siblings were starved then driven off a cliff. His body has never been found. If only CPS worked like this for actual cases of abuse
Remember Gabriel Fernandez? He should have never been given back to his biological parent. Those 4 CPS workers were found not guilty! Absolutely sickening!
@@juliefuraitor5610 I remember watching about that case on youtube it was very sad to watch even with all the abuse he still made a card for his mom. I think the excuse CPS made was that they moved around to much. Sadly I don't think anything happend to the CPS.
Darkshadows123 I know he still had love for his egg donor (master manipulator) even though he was in pain everyday. Nope nothing happened to any of them. The teachers fault too. She knew what was going on. Yet still let him go home. Idc if I had to go to jail I would’ve kept him from going home. Makes me sick!
Yesss or the case of Gabriel Fernandez who had multiple calls from his teacher and 4 social workers ignored him even when he had bruises and burns all over his body; they just believed the abusive parents “ he lies” they said UGH so horrible
This is why I want to get into social work and things like this because I want it to be better. I want to help not just destroy lives because I’m a bad person. The system needs to be better because they are doing more harm then good
I was is state custody for a few years when I was a kid, and because of it, cps appointed me a counselor from the state. When I was in 3rd grade the counselor would come and talk to me privately in the vice principal’s office every Wednesday. Like on our 3rd or 4th visit, the state counselor tried to coarse me into saying that someone I knew had touched me inappropriately(which they never did). She interrogated me with drawn picture of a female body and kept pointing at “private areas” asking if anyone had touched me. The more I told her no, the more she asked if I was sure or if I was lying or if I was scared. This continued for about two hours until it made me cry and she couldn’t get me to stop. Needless to say I didn’t see her anymore after that. Now I’m grown, I turn 19 in a few months, and I have a 1 year old son. I’m extra cautious about people being around my son because I know the things that could happen if someone decides that I have pissed them off and they try to call CPS on me. It really scares me when I think about how easily possibly it is for my son to be forced to go through the same thing. He’s a very smart and loving baby, and such a momma’s boy. I would kill someone if I thought they’d try to get my son taken from me, I won’t allow him to go through CPS and state custody, it’s a load of twisted, sadistic bullshit for real.
Douglas Harris let me give you an example of how stupid this statement is My dad did drugs and beat me teachers at school noticed and called cps and they came but my dad made me say “everything was fine” and they came back with a search warrant and 2 officers and went to talk to me and said “were with the government were here to help” finally my prayers had been answered they arrested my dad An example of how that statement has helped lots of people
@@justsomeguy7100 He should have beat you more, maybe then you would have learned that sweeping generalized statements based off of an anecdote does not equal empirical evidence. You're the exception, not the rule.
Lovely Aya, And these two criminals are still employed....???... It's government funded gang to destroy families! But wait... are they in a hurry to remove kids from REAL cases of neglect and abuse? ...hmmmm... ;[
I grew up with an abusive mother and I've told cps what was happening after the school called them. They then told my mother and of course she said she didn't do it. CPS really failed me and my siblings, this went on for years with many reports that they said they lost. They only did something when I tried to kill myself (one of many attempt's) and went to the hospital at 13. My grandmother said they wouldn't do anything until one of us was dead and sadly that almost was true. They fail so many children at it's sad.
Wonderful, I love that the judge stood up for this family. Yes, it may be the taxpayers that ultimately pay, but it seems only money gets their attention. No integrity in that CPS office. If you make a mistake own up to it, learn and proceed to do a better job.
Just some Guy that does not give CPS reason to lie and take children away although they ignored the communication from the parents. It’s ok to take proper action to protect children but this is simply Corruption at its finest
CPS just unlawfully removed my children back in January. I wish I could afford the same attorney as them. But God forbid I'm not letting them take my kids from me without a fight.
I am glad they are back together. It is so disappointing that an organization that is supposed to protect children tears apart happy families and overlooks children that are actually being abused.
so glad they are together! so happy for u an dur family! unlike i can say w myself and my daughter and cps!!! they are All criminals wanting that paycheck and wanting that notch on there belt... how many chirlden have we taken... notch... notch ...notch!!!!! they dont care about anything or anyone!!!! best wishes to u and ur family. ❤still praying for mine!❤
My parents were terrible... CPS was called so many times on them and they still were allowed to keep us 😞! To this day I have a terrible yet okay relationship with my mother yet part of me hates the government for letting me go through shit
At 3 months old my first born was taken to ER by my mom for his foot that he always cried about. Same day while I was at work my mom called erratically crying telling me to rush home. Cps was at my home after my sons ER visit because the doctor determined it was a "foot fracture". I was mortified with myself and my children's care takers. I blamed everyone including me because how could a 3 month old have a fractured foot? We were immediately signed into a contract with him being taken away (luckily my grandma was able to house him) and it was only 3 days but we followed up with a bone doctor who found out he had a rare condition called osteochondroma which are TUMORS in the body! His foot was never fractured but 2 weeks later he got surgery to get it removed. Hes 5 now and has had about 20 of these tumors removed. I still fear going to the hospital or him going to school without everyone being aware of his condition.
@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin Honestly I was so traumatized by the whole ordeal and him having this life long disability so I was more focused on my son and just glad to get cps out of my life. What hurts me most is after he was diagnosed I didn't get an apology or anything from cps they just disappeared like nothing happened.
CPS is not a government agency it is a privately owned entity that should have no power, authority or control over the American citizens and their children. They have more power than judges
I share this same sentiment that most do. CPS and DCF are HORRIBLE! And its scary to think that bc of an accident your child may be taken away. Watched a something other day of father being accused of abusing his son bc they claimed the child suffered from shaken baby syndrome at 9 days old but a doctor testified and said that injury can occur during child birth not just from being shaken. I feel like most of the time common sense can tell you weather a child is really being abused. But they're too busy wasting time on good patents. Its crazy
After an incident with my father when I was about 16, I had to be interviewed by a CPS worker. She had a very condescending manner, trying to insist that I was depressed and needed therapy and should go. Mind you I said absolutely nothing about being sad or unhappy in my life. I was very insistent that I was not depressed, and she seemed annoyed and surprised when I wouldn't let her tell me how I felt. Very unusual.
They took me and my brother away from a happy home constantly saying we where being abused no matter what we said. Been in the system for almost 3 years! 2 says befor my birthday to.
I have one child and have always wanted a few ever since I was little. But then CPS was introduced into my life and I don't even want to live myself anymore. I fear knocks on my door and don't tell anyone where I live. I use my parents address for my mail. They destroy people!
I can totally agree I have secondary post traumatic syndrome from CPS they came and took my children on hear say and without an investigation or any paperwork of any kind signed by a judge or anyone for that matter and this all took place at the same time my momma died in my livingroom and my husband had left and him and his family was doing all the reports to CPS that ultimately won him custody in the divorce plus I had just been rapped by one of the mention husbands so called friends while he was locked up so I've pretty much been holding on to the thought that God will see to it my girls are ok and can return to me in any way humanly possible because he knows the truth and the circumstantial situation that lead to all of these unfortunate incidents
chuck wood hindsight is 20/20. I just trusted them and did what they said. If I knew then what I know now, I would’ve done things a lot differently from the start. 😢
@chuck wood Do you not hear what is being said? I was in the hospital with my husband and they just marched in with police and took my daughter. We weren't even home. No home investigation, no nothin. Just kidnapped my child.
inthelight7771, doesn’t make much difference CPS is not likely to ever pay it, they ignore court orders all the time, their normal defense is “we didn’t know” or “we forgot” and they always get away with it.
All of CPS needs to be retrained and then retrained again. I was sexually, physically and mentally abused at 12. All they did was send me back into the situation I was trying to get away from and did nothing to the person that was harming me. The person that abused me is still walking around, free, to this day.
I am so sorry you were assaulted by a sociopathic monster with no help, and you have to deal with the repercussions of it daily. I’m sorry on behalf on the adults that should have stepped in for You.
CPS: Takes kids that are in a safe situation and ignores kids that are harshly abused emotionally every day.
What a great organization.
You forgot they put them in abusive situations more kids have been abused and killed in this system than being with their birth parents .
Love it
Nobody wants to pay taxes, so we have a very understaffed and messed up system.
Sam Hem The Illuminati is in charge of CPS. Need I say more?
Yep look at Emani Moss and Maleah Davis. CPS needs to get it together...a bunch of idiots.
Falsifying documents?!! They should be in jail!!!
Earlier this year a social worker in Iowa was charged with perjury for pulling something like this.
Kinda like Hillary Clinton like ppl honestly she ain't an idiot her and her husband were lawyers nothing about either are careless especially after she destroyed a bunch of electronics and emails

The CPS workers responsible should be charged with kidnapped. That's what they did, hold them accountable.
The workers are protected from prosecution, even if they blatantly lied to get the process going. And believe me, they are aware of that.
@Charles W kill them on site there organizations need to learn
@Charles W You do have a right to refuse them and ask them to leave your property. They need a warrant from there, and the way the law is structured, a warrant cannot be issued on a single witness statement alone.
Ok but here’s the thing- do you believe the parent? For the kid to have 2 skull fractures on both sides of the head, it would’ve had to be a lot worse than just rolling. We don’t know what truly happened and it truly could’ve been a case of abuse.

as a foster parent i saw for myself how often LIES ARE told by social workers in paperwork AND IN COURT BEFORE JUDGES. OUTRAGEOUS
This is so true! And it’s scary and sad
Surely you handed the agency’s attorney proof of the lie right?
You are part of the problem if there were no more foster parents, Social Services wouldn’t exist
It's sickening and I can't believe that the court does not even have a jury to make sure the judge is fair and unbiased. They do anything they want without any true reason and don't even care. They don't have any oversight. It's 3rd world country nonsense racket for money, and that's it.
Now think of all the families that didn't have enough for a decent attorney. I was one. They illegally removed my daughter and put her in foster care on false allegations. I immediately proved them wrong but was forced to fight for 8 months to get her back. It is the most traumatic experience of my life and my baby was neglected in foster care
That's most families because they intentionally target low income families
My grandchildren were molested during foster care. They tried hiding this from my daughter in law and son. During a court proceeding to get their back....the judge notified us. They tried to even hide the person who did this. I'm adopted. Over thirty five years ago. I was raped in foster care by a teen foster boy. I was told I don't know what rape was and I was to young for that to happen.....still remember.
One of my children was physically hurt while wrongly forced into foster care in 2020
CPS acts like they have default rights to children.
Right
Sad thing is they do in a lot of cases.
Amanda Kelley
Not really. In most cases CPS relies on people’s ignorance. You don’t have to let them in your home no matter what they threaten you with; no warrant, no entry. The burden of proof is on the agency and in most cases they get “proof” when people let them in their home. Also, don’t sign anything. Once you sign any agreement or sign away your parental rights you’re locked into the system. Just don’t cooperate, and, if possible, get an attorney.

My mom works at a daycare. There was one family, the baby broke his leg getting caught on a car seat. Took him to the hospital. No other injuries, but doctors still had to call cps. Dont know what happened, but for some reason the agent felt disrespected and took the kid. The baby had a grandma in town willing to take him, but she put him with a foster family. Got chewed out by the judge for not putting him with grandma. Baby is back with parents now, but I would sue. Lady went on a power trip.
"Under emergency orders"
They can take your child and then you have to fight to get them back.
Sickening. It's getting worse.
more than sickening - very scary
"Under emergency orders" can't be a good enough, so C.P.S can go duck off they, done duck up, i don't know how but fix your stuff CPS dang gum dude
I and my baby brother were taken by CPS. If not for CPS taking us away, we would have suffered from malnourishment and us constantly being sick (our home was absolutely filthy and we didn't get proper food to eat). The judge gave my parents ways to improve the living conditions, go to marriage counseling, and many options to change themselves so they could have us back. I think giving them ways to change to keep their kids is fair as in the end, it can be heartbreaking on the kid when the child realizes they were forcefully taken. A good chunk of kids end up in awful foster homes, like my brother and me. We ended up in a god awful foster home that didn't truly treat us right, getting angry at us for things out of our control as we were YOUNG CHILDREN. They didn't feed us good food at that and gave special treatment to others. For a parent to fight to have their kids back and they know they'll change, is completely fair to me.
Child/Human trafficking. The stats at how many children go missing, harmed and abused in their corrupt system is staggering; Then add in the number of children killed in their 'care". The goal is to sever the Parent Child bond and move to terminate the Parental Rights.
Way worse with the fringe far left getting laws passed like ones in California.
CPS is just horrible. If they're not tearing apart innocent homes they're ignoring the ones who actually need help! This world is so backwards.

@@fadargenforlife bingo. They wanted them kids for a reason
@@l1meyman CPS is a for profit organization. It's absolutely disgusting to think about.
As a child who grew up in foster care. I'm terrified to take my child to the doctor for this reason.
Thats how my CPS case started 6 years ago took my daughter to her primary care doctor and one day the nurse/ doctor said she was under wait for one day,... and they called CPS on me,... but every day after that my daughters wait was up to date accroding to them and its riddiculas once CPS is called on you its hard to get out of it,...
We went through this for 4yrs. Being an African American family we were completely stripped of Rights, lawyers wouldn't even help us it seemed like everyone was connected and our entire family was denied kinship rights, my nephew was placed and abused and that foster care was allowed to keep other children and was never reported until I forced an online report after being denied the ability to report her and nothing was done. My nephew was hospitalized behind her care for 7 days. My sister was stripped of legal representation, the entire County and Hospital fabricated reports which are all on record and show what was done to us by the agency and medical professionals. Court records show what was happening and no one stopped this. My sister and I continue to fight, my sister was threatened to stop fighting or all of her children would be removed. By the grace of God we were able to overcome this. Awareness needs to be brought to this because no family should ever have to endure this. Ever!!
That sounds like you were racially profiled. I’m so sorry you went through this :(
@@aspieangel1988I too was racially profiled in a hospital and got my new born babies stripped from me I’ve been fighting for years for my two boys I don’t have the funding for lawyers I just have prayers any help I get I’ll gladly appreciate it
Meanwhile every day CPS overlook children who are actually in danger😤
Exactly - how many kids who ACTUALLY needed help went ignored while CPS wasted their time with a bogus case???
Because abused children are too problematic and won't benefit the profit of this "organization"

So true
Cps was supposed to take me when I was younger, but they never did
Thank God they got a judge who listens and saw the lies
He only listened because they hired an attorney
Judges are in on it, they get paid money to help CPS and for every-case they side in CPS's favor.
Thank God they weren't minorities, otherwise I'm sure this would have gone a different route.
@@vivi44 Well that makes sense, because I have witnessed a judge just going along with CPS's orders, even after he admitted to coming to a different conclusion himself. I was thinking he was going to release children from CPS custody, but he kept them longer for no reason instead, letting CPS take the lead.
@@JT-xf9sw Shut the hell up. I'm an Asian Muslim and even I know that race doesn't change anything
I had CPS called on my mom for being passed out from a meth crash with strange men in the home. She was able to answer the door so they didn't take me away. I was only 2 years old but this is what my aunt tells me. Weird how I wasn't taken but these kids were.
Just show how CPS is shit
CPS was called on my when I was getting divorced and they came to talk to me. I had my lawyer there when they showed up. They were assholes at my front door until I brought them in and introduced them . Boy did their tone change and they left and didn’t come back
The system is sooooo broken. These kids get taken away from a loving home with NO PROOF of child abuse yet kids are getting abused and murdered by people with MULTIPLE complaints to CPS against them who CPS then dismisses. Disgusting.
Because they are the loudest protesters. They tend to have more time to harrass, for whatever reason.
the Doctors as well they the ones who called C.P.S .
Exactly, that always boggles my mind
It's a business, it's too expensive to investigate the kids that really need help. So they go after the easy pickings which happens to be the innocent most of the time.
Remember the man who with cps permission had visitations with his children despite the traumatic concerns of the mother and one day hacked the one to death and blew up his home killing the other and himself?
So when kids are actually being abused and neglected CPS couldn’t care. But a perfectly healthy kid they take without blinking an eye.
CPS can only act on tips.
@@alexalevon4885 they ignore gabriel fernandez and he died when he was experiencing obvious abuse while children are removed who are clearly in good homes all the time
@@probrickgamer did I say it was perfect? No, some workers are horrible and I’ll the first to admit that, but by law, they have to act on tips. Unfortunately some do not
I think they do it because it’s easier to take children from parents that are reasonable and normal but they probably can’t be bothered with the hassle they get off of the dickhead parents that are nutters and couldn’t care less for their kids
They want adoptable kids. They get a federal bounty for every kid removed, plus monthly maintenance which is enhanced if they can get a mental health disability rating, then bonus upon adopting them out to strangers. It may be unintended consequences, but there are some serious Federal incentives for taking, keeping, and adopting out marketable kids. Not to mention the more than half a million kids that “disappear” out of foster care unreported, mostly trafficked.
i got two horrible CPS stories. they were called on my dad because he’s a drug addict and we were living with him (16 me, 19, 21). they didn’t call my mom, who had no idea that anything was going on. they interviewed all of us and let our dad take us back after he was 3 days sober, then he of course went and got high again and we struggled for two more months until we gathered the courage to ask for help from family. they were INCREDIBLY neglectful in that case. i didn’t go to school because i didn’t have anyone to take me, we were without food for weeks because my dad spent his money on drugs. it was awful
and now the next one.....my moms friend had his kids dropped off at CPS by his abusive drug addict ex wife while he was at work, and they won’t give his kids back because he had meth in his hair (from his ex) and are forcing him to take class after class and keep on adding more after they tell him when can get his kids back and keep delaying it. so he’s having to hire a lawyer to prove that he didn’t do anything wrong so he can get his kids back, or he’ll go to prison. it’s a ridiculous corrupt system they have in place
Pfff you deserved it. You should of had courage by your age but you decided to be a weakling and not do anything about it. I have no sympathy for people who are playing the victim. I find it hilarious that you had to "go weeks without food" like ever heard of getting a job?
Sounds like California.
My son is a deputy and my fiancé’s nephew who is an amazing dad and has. Wife and 4 children, excellent provider. There son fell and hit his head playing, is was 2 years old. CPS was called and came at night to take all of the children. Thank goodness my son was called and he helped in this situation. He remained calm and spoke to CPS about the family and was able to have the children stay with grandparents. The children were traumatized and scared. They later said “will those bad people come back and take me away” this was a fear because of how COS handled it, they came with aggression and no regard for the children’s fears. It was unprofessional and they had no proof any abuse happened. The doctors stated they did not know and just asked for their opinion, but CPS came in charging and uncaring of their role and how it affected the children. That is my concern as a clinical therapist, is how CPS handled this concerning the welfare of the children. They caused harm and had no education. I saw a young women early 20’ s with a high school education come in and dictate what she thought. These workers do not have any real therapeutic training, they have HighSchool diplomas, that’s it. How are they qualified??
You're a clinical therapist?
The standards are getting lower all the time. Currently where I live a caseworker doesn’t need a degree in social work. She could have a degree in French films and they hire her. Removing a child should only be done in the most extreme cases. Growing up believing your mommy and daddy will protect you from anything is a huge part of a happy childhood but for these kids they find out that that’s not true. A stranger can come rip them away and there’s nothing the parents can do. Destroys their sense of security. One of the worse parts is CSB isn’t held accountable. In a case I know of the worker actually forged a signature and got a naughty note in her file. There should be a bipartisan agency that’s a watchdog over them because there certainly isn’t now!
This happened to my family but we had no one to speak up for us im still trying to bring my kids home i have four children my oldest is 7 years old my youngest is 8 months they were kidnapped over false allegations
@@BthLit its the worst feeling in the world knowing you cant protect your children from strangers ill never live down the mommy guilt
A cps worker taking the 5th, needs to go straight to jail, messing with people's kids, and then lying about it.
I hate to break it to you but CPS workers have constitutional rights just like you or me. That being said I'm not sure how he was able to invoke 5th Amendment rights in a civil lawsuit. As far as I know the 5th Amendment only applies to criminal proceedings.
@@willdwyer6782 People often take the 5th in civil trials when a criminal case has not yet been adjudicated. Remember, anything said "on the record" can come back on a person in a criminal case. This is typically why most people wait until after the criminal trial is over before opening a civil case. Once someone has been tried & a verdict has come in, jeopardy attaches, and they can no longer face any related charges; however, once there's no longer the threat of a criminal trial, the 5th no longer applies. I hope that makes sense, LOL!
@@xamyx2205 when I went to court to fight a traffic ticket I was called to the witness stand. When I objected on 5th Amendment grounds, the judge said that it was a civil matter since I was charged with a civil infraction and the 5th Amendment only applies in criminal cases.
@@willdwyer6782 It's kind of hard to explain, but I'll use Casey Anthony as an example. Although she told some outrageous lies, and an innocent woman had her reputation tarnished (lost her job & home), she chose to wait until after the trial to sue. If she sued before the criminal trial was over, Casey could have plead the 5th, as anything said in the civil trial could be used against her in the criminal trial, so it would have been allowed on those grounds. In your case, there was no pending criminal case, I'm presuming, so there was nothing to incriminate yourself against. The same thing happened in the OJ Simpson case, where the family waited until after the verdict.
think correctly no they need to be killed messing with people’s children
Dont ever, ever, ever let CPS in your home. They have to have a warrant, to enter your home
they came to my house and stole my children at Gun Point over false accusations from a psycho neighbor with a grudge. don't put any faith in them needing warrants, they'll write up whatever they want to get in your door~
I just seen a video here that shows the CPS worker forged up a warrant just to get into his house.
Does anyone know if they're supposed to do a home check before they close the case?
Why do they want to enter the home so bad?
@@muffychao2373 So they can build a case up against ANYTHING they see at your house. Dosen´t really matter what.
That’s what happened to that Lil boy Adrian the step mother obviously knew this same advice that you are saying and took it to advantage and that lil boy was being abused and tortured by his father and step mother then when he finally died they fed his body to the pigs ! Cps or DCS needs to get there stuff together and stop bullying the one that have nothing to hide and start focusing on the ones that are being tortured
That's why you get one of them video doorbells and act like you aren't there and tell them to come back in 2 weeks when your home and keep telling them you aren't home and re-enforce your doors and windows so they can't easily break in and have an escape hatch that's very inconspicuous
I've been thinking about suing them for what they did to my family. The hell my kids have had to go through and all the lies they put in their copy and paste court documents. They flat out harrassed me and my kids for 3 or 4 years..
Don't wait. There is a limited time in which you can bring a civil rights lawsuit and the FIRST thing you have to do is INFORM the attorney general in your state (look at your state's statues) that you will be filing a lawsuit against the government. You MUST do this FIRST.
Lie is pretty much all they do, sorry to hear your story as I have been through the same.
They are the greatest threat to North American families and society!
I wish they had to for my family! My granddaughter was legally kidnapped from me. I wrote a book about it called "For The Love Of Zoe". Kentucky is the worst state for legal kidnapping. I brought my granddaughter home from the hospital and was raising her...she was treated like a princess...and everything was fine...but when you get people with money involved in things, they pretty much get what they want, right or wrong...no matter the circumstances, money does talk. And unfortunately I didn't have money to talk. My granddaughter will know the truth one day. She is now 10 yrs old. I haven't seen her since she was 3. It's so sad what happens in this world. Abused children are kept with the abusers, and children who are perfectly taken care of, are legally kidnapped, because those are the kids they get the most money out of.
human trafficking happens in plain sight with CPS.
Yeah like allowing a minor drag queen dance in a strip bar the kid should have been taken away and never given back
Cps supports it
Contain protect secure
1,100 children drop off the radar each year.
and thats just the ones they admit to.
there are over 6,000 reports of children being taken by CPS and not returned, yet CPS will claim they have no record of the family...
It’s terrible, a lot of young foster girls or boys are more targeted by human traffickers
I am a forensic nurse that works in private practice. I see parents get buried by CPS constantly for accidental injuries. I have seen them strip a week old infant out of a mother's arms because the 5 year old face planted at the child care facility. The facility claimed the child came to school that way to avoid responsibility and ended up destroying a family. It took the family 9 months to get their children back. The infant now has severe behavioral and emotional issues after being bounced to 12 foster families in that short period of time. CPS needs significant oversight which is completely lacking. While children are abused and we do need to intervene, CPS takes their bully tactics and frank ignorance to a whole new level.
Kerwyn Brat this made me so incredibly sad. I was one of those children but I live in Canada and it isn’t much better here :(
Mind giving us a google link to the daycare? Just want to talk to them. Scouts honor.
Thank you ma'am for sharing....I WISH more professionals would be willing to speak up against wrong doing....everyone is soooooo afraid that doing or saying anything will get THEM into trouble. So yeah...it's REALLY great that you were willing to share instead of keeping "hush hush" about this subject. MORE good people NEED to hear your message...at the VERY least your info would be a comfort to anyone going through undeserved troubles...
That family had the hand of God working for them...or they wouldn't have gotten their children back.
Thank you. A teacher at my daughters school called cps on me. All because my daughter had a mark on her forehead. If that teacher had of spoken with the special ed teacher. The teacher would've found out that my daughter was drawing on her forehead with crayons. The scariest part from cps was what the worker said. The worker mentioned how all their kids in their case load were on some type of medication.
Thank goodness for attorneys like him.
Every case at that CPS officer has been involved with needs to be looked at by the courts
But will return a child to an abusive parent that starve them and have mysterious cigarette burns and bite marks on them smfh
If you walk into a home that is filthy, take the kids.
Judges actually make that decision.
Yeah that's cps for you.
@@michaelmullin3585 that’s what the think apparently.
Not in my experience, where I live. But yes, that happens, but it’s the judge who decides that, too.
Kind of same thing happened to me. Took my kids on a false report without investigating it. A year later gave my kids back with a "We are sorry". Two people fired and judge ordered them to stay away from me. I should have sued them.

My children were apprehended years ago now as i had left an abusive situation and was staying at a shelter. i was eight months pregnant when i fled and had my two year old son at the time. during my stay my family was able to care for my son throughout the delivery of my baby. when i got back to the shelter from the hospital i had noticed my baby not looking well at all and had brought him to the doctors and they said they didnt see anything wrong with him and to not worry. following their advice i went back to the shelter/home. seeing my sons health decline i brought him back to the hospital, a total of four times, still nothing was done. at this time they put up a red flag assuming i had post partum. they must have contacted CAS at that time with me unaware. being on ontario works i received $20 every four days for living expenses while at the shelter which barely helped to cover costs for formula and diapers. however did not ask my family for help as they werent financially stable either. that night getting home from the hospital i had called community care for help for a ride to toronto sick kids as i wanted my son to see a doctor there as i knew something was wrong still. with $20 in my pocket i made that trip barely having food for myself i contacted my social services worker and they explained that i could get coupons for the hospitals cafeteria and not to worry but it would be sparingly. i took that offer. of course getting to the hospital i explained my situation there financially and what my worker had said and they gave me coupons, again not aware of what they were planning. my son turned out to be really sick, he had his urine go back into his kidney everytime he peed and hersprungs disease and sorry if im not spelling that right at the moment. finally we had a diagnosis and he was treated right away, i was told if i didnt bring him in the worst couldve happened considering he was only just over a week old at that point. my son also had multiple cysts on his right kidney and was only functioning with one. when i got back home to the shelter CAS was already calling me stating if i didnt bring my children into the society i would have a warrant for my arrest claiming that i could not afford to care for my children as i was staying in the shelter. more or less because i used the $20 on my kids for their formula and diapers instead of myself having food while at the hospital as i had food for myself at the shelter. to this day a decade later my kids were apprehended and have been adopted to another family. my rights were stripped from me and because i felt by my leaving an abusive situation my kids are now gone. I'm praying this never happens to anyone else. i would and have done everything that i can for my children. if it wasnt for me pushing to go to another hospital my son wouldnt be here right now. knowing hes healthy and loved and alive because of my actions means the world to me even though im not able to be around to love him back.
I just read your story and I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You don't deserve that, especially if you were trying to protect yourself and your children by getting away from an abusive situation and doing everything you could to get to the hospital. They shouldn't have taken your children especially over something like money, they should have found a way for you to get help if they thought you didn't have enough. Like you said, if it wasn't for your actions then your son may not be here and if it weren't for the ignorance of the doctors maybe they would have figured out what was wrong sooner instead of saying everything was fine. It's so wrong that they take children away from so many that don't deserve it. They tried to mess with me over an accident that resulted in an ER visit with my daughter and lied on reports and falsified. They didn't take my children but they indicated me for neglect and I think they may have tried to in the future had I not done an appeal. I got a lawyer and won the appeal and the supervisor got in trouble since she was the one who lied on the reports and she never even talked to me! The case worker was nice and had all info correct, the hospital had most info correct when interviewed, but somehow the supervisor who never spoke with me or hospital staff took everyone's statements and twisted and falsified them! The judge could tell what she had done since he had all original statements and he was furious. He said these are the kinds of people who ruin the lives of innocent families. It's ridiculous. Thankfully I had family to front me the attorney fees and won but so many aren't as fortunate and it's so sad. I'm so sorry your situation didn't turn out better. It's not fair for them to break families apart that don't deserve it. I wish you the best and I hope some day you get the chance to be in your children's lives like you deserve. Sending hugs your way! ❤
This happened to me when my son was 7 months old. I was at work and my now ex husband was watching him, and no, he didn't hurt him, but everyone thought he did. The only thing my ex did wrong was keep him in the jumparoo too long and we didn't adjust it the way it should have been.
I come home and my baby is in his chair that rocks or you can make it still and he looked pained. I knew something was wrong, my ex husband said he just woke up and wasn't acting the same. We called an ambulance because we weren't sure if he injured himself and if putting him in a car seat would injure him more. This was our first child and we didn't know much.
When we got to the hospital they took x-rays and then CPS was called. He had a healing fracture in his tibia, mainly closer to his ankle, but there's a special name for this so called fracture because at the time I was a medical coder and it wasn't exactly a fracture, it was a bending or buckling of the bone, which could lead to a fracture, but the one he recently had was near his hip and growth plate area, it was fractured. After he was released we were allowed to take him, but we had to take him to CPS and they took him from us into foster care, my mom wasn't allowed to have him because she had been babysitting within that 48 hour period of the fracture. I can honestly say the foster home he lived in for 5 months was good because the woman taking care of him was a respectable attorney and has become a judge. They believed my ex hurt him and it took 5 months for me to get custody, I missed out from his 7 months to after he turned one, but I was allowed to have him on his first birthday. I thought I would never get him back by the way CPS treated me, my ex, and my mom. All because of a simple accident of having him play with such joy in his jumparoo and not realizing we hadn't adjusted it correctly although we thought we had.
CPS goes after the innocent and the poor or whomever they think they could potentially steal their kids from and place in a better home. They don't understand accidents happen and then what their deception costs these families. I literally was depressed and wanted to end my life a couple of times because at the time in my state if your child is taken away from you forever then if you have another child CPS will automatically take that child away too. All I have ever wanted was be a mom and if they took him away what was the point anymore, those were my thoughts. CPS lied to all of us and made us go through unnecessary hoops to get custody back. Hell, even after having my second child, basically 4 years after that incident, they re-entered briefly because my ex-husband went to jail for 5 months and was on probation for 4 years for this incident because they thought he did it since he was home alone with our son, and had the authority to say whether my youngest was allowed to go home with us or stay in the hospital. They allowed us to take him home, but made sure my mom was watching both kids while I worked and she would check up on us every week for the next 30-60 days. After that CPS was out of my life, but it was a painful ordeal, and wasted their time on us when they should have been helping other children that sadly needed it and weren't getting it.
Sorry for anyone that has to go through this, it's a rough journey.
I still love the time CPS came to yell at me after just moving into a new apartment. They wanted to take my 2 kids away but uh, I don't have kids nor will I ever lol. They even tried to get the police involved with searching my apartment but jokes on them, my husband worked at the police department. Those people will say anything they can to get a mob mentality to incriminate you.
OMG, they are so incompetent! I got a run-in with them after my husband fired his employee (which had come over to our home before). That dude called CPS on us, because I homeschooled my children, claimed that we had no food in the house and because there was a stain on the carpet. Thankfully, after showing compliance with homeschool laws, and them interviewing my kids (and inspecting our very full fridge), she left. However, she kept on trying to push Medicaid on us, even though my husband made way too much money to qualify, even applied for us, which is simply stupid and it would have meant that we would have committed fraud if we would have used that insurance. Maybe that was what she was trying to get us to do - break the law so that they had a reason to come and take our kids. The kids and I had nightmares for weeks, and my daughter got scared every time the door rang.
@ClaireClaire wow, I did not know that! Thanks for pointing that out - thankfully that was years ago and my children are off age now. Blessings!
@@CHPetMom oh no not that dangerous carpet stain! Lol omg
Claudia H. Blanton you should be ashamed of yourself for homeschooling your kids - you’re a religious nut job

Way to go CPS. Making parents too scared to take their own kids to the ER! At least they got caught this time.
My oldest son accidentally dropped his squirming baby brother in the kitchen. He was scared and crying, I was terrified, my youngest was wailing.
I knew an e.r. visit was necessary, and it would have been better for my oldest to stay at home and get love and reassurance from his dad.
Instead, I had to take him to the e.r. with me and told him he had to explain to everyone there what happened. CPS, is every family's bogeyman.
angeleyes green that’s horrible. He must have been terrified, I hope they’re both doing good Now.
It is different state to state. There will always be nuance to processes across agencies in different areas. "CPS" is not a person or being, but consists of many people who do not always make the best choices or follow protocol. The public should take careful thought before making generalizations that actually do more damage by spreading misinformation. Hopefully the CPS agents in this case were dealt with appropriately, but a few people do not represent the whole.
This happened to me, I had my month old on the floor changing his diaper. He kicked my leg and his head hit a chair. I still don’t have him back yet he is now 3. Havnt been allowed to see him for 2 years. If I had the money I’d sue child services for the hell they have caused me and my son.
Oh wow that's heartbreaking. I'm sorry. But is there really no one or no organization that can help with cases like this??
What?
I am so sorry for you they need to sack the CPS department and start over from scratch
@@Ok_Sorbet-824 no there isnt im going though this now in my county

Love this story. Happy they are being held accountable. They do need to be retrained.
Luckily, this family had the means to hire an attorney. Look at all the families who don't have the means. They are just left to the curb to try to fend for themselves when their kids are taken unlawfully. The CPS system is there to protect our children and it has worked for many instances; however, the injustices that it has done to many families is heartbreaking.
Bree C DCF...(Department of Children & Families in Connecticut does the exact samething CPS does in legally kidnapping children under perjury with fabricated evidence they created themselves. DCF preys on low income parents that don't have the money to defend themselves. DCF should be being mentioned as well as CPS is☹
@@Tiffany24117 I don't have children myself, but a good friend does and they are low income. For an extremely ridiculous reason CPS was called on them by their estranged oldest son who was living at his girlfriend's house at the time. Luckily, her 2 youngest weren't taken away, but the case stayed open for a long time because they lived in a farm house and the worker says the property, not the house, was unsafe, which was far from the truth. I told my friend that I would get an attorney for her if it came to it. Then you see children in situations who need help but because the family appears to have money, etc, the children are left in a desperate situation and don't get the help they need. It is a screwed up system.
There are ways to do it yourself you just need to know where to look what your looking for courts go by case laws there's alot on cps being sued
Still have to watch out for attorneys who work WITH CPS. Thought we found a good one to fight for us NOPE all he did was fight against us, made it harder and we didnt have ANOTHER $4,000 to shell out to another attorney.
Exactly! Never trust CPS! Having a real lawyer is the only reason they got their kids back. CPS will lie to parents and the to the court. They flat out make shit up. Disgusting!
There should be an investigation of every CPS in the country. I have heard horror stories in other states.

This kind of thing happens all the time.
We need to limit the power of CPS, eliminate mandatory reporting, and allow recourse for false reporters and overzealous agents.
End Qualified Immunity as well; that is also provided to their State paid doctors/therapists/counselors
That unfortunately will never happen
1000% agree! But how ? For real how do we stand up for ourselves amd do this?
They should be charged with kidnapping!
Under federal law first-degree kidnapping carries a penalty of 20 to life and there is no statute of limitations. If the kidnapping victim dies while being held by the kidnapper or kidnappers, it becomes a death penalty offense.
Why does it seem like CPS only goes after good parents?
Cause they are bad evil scumbuckets
Because they don't want 2 go 2 bad houses
They need 2 b put under a microscope
Nobody wants a messed up child that's what one of the other comments are.. they want the perfectly happy healthy kids
Money. Honestly they get paid for the nunber of cases they have and the length the cases last. If it's a good family ..its an easy case they don't actually have to follow up on them or do any hard work. Easy money for the CPS system. Sad and sick.
That is not enough compensation. This is terrifying CPS needs to pay more so that it is more costly for them to make mistakes like this.
I spent my entire childhood having dislocated limbs reduced at home because no doctor could figure out why and just assumed my parents were yanking my arms out of socket.
It took 45 years to get a diagnosis and proof that there's something actually wrong.
My friend worked for CPS and was fired after being forced to jump through hoops and evaluations and put on leave after she showed what was called "emotional instability" for crying privately at work after encountering a horrible case of abuse. They make it impossible for truly caring people to do their jobs and be human at the same time.
Fired for crying? Just because someone cries doesn’t make them emotionally unstable.
It makes sense if you think about it. Only heartless people can work for cps@@aspieangel1988
Whoever gave the order to take the children should pay the said amount!
That is one of the biggest problems in Government. These thugs are covered with immunity, secrecy, and legal representation all covered by the tax payer. Little to no accountability and even if their is disciplinary action (barring legal action) those records are sealed. CPS did not pay that money, the citizens of that community and state did, and even you and I in a sense as federal funds are given to them. I imagine the CPS workers are just sitting in fear as they face a grilling from their bosses (please note sarcasm at last statement).
@@mwilliams1330 they lie with absolute impunity. It's a disgrace, you have to vid every encounter
Amen and put in jail for very long sentences .a famous man once quoted ."You should never cooperate with evil "
the person who gave the order would have to have been a judge as CPS has no legal authority nor do cops to just go into your home and or take your children away without a signed warrant based upon probable cause and oath of office.
find the judge's signature and remove him from his bench for life.
Damn, how many of these stories about CPS do I have to hear? So glad they had to pay out in this case!
In my case, it wasn't CPS being the "bad guy." It was the (at that time) district attorney. He hated my parents so when I landed in the foster care system, he did everything in his power to get me put up for adoption (I met my potential adoptive parents. They told me that was why we were talking & meeting. I am FB friends with my potential adoptive brother).
Fast forward 15 yrs, I'm in a custody battle with my ex boyfriend for our 2 niblets, and guess who the JUDGE in the case is... Yup you guessed it. The former D.A. that tried to screw my parents. Needless to say, things did not work well in my or the niblets' favor. Fast forward another 13 YEARS, mountains of evidence, the sworn testimony of both our now teenaged niblets & sworn testimonies of several mutual friends FOR me, the JUDGE granted me sole custody.
(Intentional domestic abuse & child abuse end your rights. Male or female. Period.)
I can't overstate how amazed I am that the judge actually ruled in their favor. The courts almost never rule against government entities, no matter how obvious it is that they were in the wrong.
Nodak81 Not exactly. The courts are always a mix because most of the judges by both party affliations are bought to do the bidding of the elites, super rich, and status quo. But there is still judges who will rule in favor of people, just varies I guess.
They listen to the caseworker my teens are not happy they never ask them but assuming there being manipulated by me which is far from it I barley get my boys who are 15 to clean their room lol manipulative in bad way no I love my children someone has fed them lies and those who lie and will find out the truth for themselves and it will eat at them. The problem is a lot of parents are enduring the same treatment and I understand now it’s not just our family but many good families
Need many more judges like this.
I was interviewed by CPS when I was in first grade, when my dad got a copy of the report I found out they wrote down a bunch of things I never said!
They lie all of the time.
Yep
Anyone who calls in a report except when the children are in danger of ACTUAL harm, should be given jail time.
I've had so many angry ppl call CPS on me and my husband - some even family...
But when my children were ACTUALLY hurt by other family members and I reported it, guess what happened?
That's right.
Nothing.
I got interviewed in 6th grade after my school reported 99% lies about my parents. This was in 2001 or 2002. My dad spanked me before school that day, and I showed up sobbing. Apparently the school counselor reported WAAAYYY more than just the slaps my dad would regularly give me - all lies. Luckily the CPS people in my area at the time were actually super awesome! They interviewed me, my sister (i think), and my parents all separately. They told my dad he can't hit my sister and I and offered for them to open a case to receive help with parenting (I wish my parents had done that - there was still verbal and emotional abuse going on. Mum wanted to, Dad panicked that they'd just take us). Unfortunately, because the social worker only had proof that dad hit us and he agreed to stop, he did have to close the case. I think he suspected the emotional abuse tbh but had no genuine proof and myself and my family honestly didn't even know that was inappropriate until it was too late.
My school, however, reported that my dad beats us and my mom. They said my mom was on hard drugs. I don't even know what else; there might have been a lie about my mom being a prostitute too. CPS was already VERY used to false reports being made by my school system to such a degree that they started to not even take them very seriously eventually. My parents threatened the school system with court if they ever put in a false report on me or my sister again; not many people actually stand up for themselves with that school system. That bitch counselor was TERRIFIED of me until I graduated high school after that. I have friends who have kids in that school now, I told them if they pull something with them to bring me with them to meet with the faculty - they'll listen.
Part 1
So my oldest son was 4.
It was summer before he started Kindergarten. I was in Nursing school...
His Dad and his Dads family were in real tight with all the higher ups in our county. My son's Grandpa was the high school principal, then he was on school board, his wife was Kindergarten teacher for 30 something years, and he went to high school with the judge and any of the other higher ups as well as they all farmed.
So I was ordered to share split custody of my son when he was 4 months old and I was still breastfeeding.
Part 2
Anyway, fast forward to I'm on my way home to pick son up from Dads bc it's my turn...
I was driving back from class when my sons dad called me.
"Just let him stay tonight if you dont mind? He wants to go to church AND we're going fishing!"
I was tickled that my son wanted to do all that stuff with his dad bc usually he hated going over there and his Dad never spent any time with him. (My son didnt even really stay with him, he stayed at his Grandparents. )
Anyway I agreed bc I was trying to show cooperation.
Later that night my sons dad called me and - 'while we were on the phone my son 'fell out of bed'.
Supposedly.
The story I was given was that my son rolled off his bed without even waking up.
So his dad told me he just put him back in bed...
In Los Angeles County a judge put a restraining order on DCFS to stay away from my family. They tried violating the restraining order and went to my kids school where a nun told the social worker that they had a copy of the restraining order and were going to call 911. They opted to leave.
When my daughter was only 18 months a doctor at the ER in our local hospital put on her chart CLUMSY CHILD DO NOT CALL CPS. Seriously. She is turning 29 this year and still trips over air pockets on the floor. Lol
rofl, this is the best comment
Same experience
I have dyspraxia though so being clumsy makes sense
This is the kind of thing that scares parents into not taking their kids to the hospital when accidents happen.
Took my daughter to the ER for a fever, meanwhile CPS and two sherriffs were waiting at my house for me to return so they could remove my children.
@@haleynicole1760 why a fever isn't a sign of abuse what was the reason for them being there
I took my 3 mos old to ER because I was accidentally putting too much formula in his bottles and wanted to make sure he wasn’t dehydrated. I was interrogated and treated like a criminal instead treated like a concerned first time parent. I quickly learned that the hospital is not a safe place and I should avoid it if I can. I feel awful about that but that experience freaked me out!
If I had a penny for every time I heard that I could go on a nice vacation. As a brand new, first time mom, I am terrified of the day my baby falls or gets hurt and requires medical attention. It is to the point that I find myself stopping her from standing on her own because I dont have carpet in the house. All it takes is trip to the ER or a vengeful friend/family member and your children are as good as orphans and you are now a shit parent. Just had a friend get CPS called on them because THE PARENTS(not the child) smelled like a cigarette...and we wonder why the US birth rate is plummeting.
These damn hospitals are going to cause the deaths of innocent children if parents are too afraid to go to the hospital and second think it due to threat of cps
Should the hospital not report is the situation is suspicious?
@@mamatlacuacha Actually, if the hospital doesnt report...they can be fined by a huge amount...
And they dont get for keeping the kid there...see, CPS would have to actually pay up for that to work...and they never do...
Source: I have worked in nursing for a decade now, and have seen the process. CPS jumps on the cases where the report made is 'nothing is amiss' but they ignore the 'this kid has been in for 'nanny elbow' four times in six months' reports...
When a child does wind up staying at the hospital, the state NEVER pays, or they only pay a small percentage, and the hospital ends up footing a massive bill, and depending on the state, they be required to provide tens of thousands in care, for a child that came in for a bump on the head because they ran into a door. (ever seen a toddler do that? i have, several times. My daughter once sat in the corner when she was three, and just bounced her head off the wall for a solid ten minutes because she 'was bored')
Hospitals dont want to file these reports half the time.
But we are literally required by law to submit a report EVERY SINGLE TIME a child comes to the ER. They catch you not reporting, and the nurse and doctor in charge could lose their license to practice, face criminal charges, and the hospital will face fines that range from thousands, to tens of thousands.
@@mamatlacuacha Its been the law in most States since the 90s.
I work in healthcare, as an RN, and most people dont know about this.
99% of the time, nothing comes of the reports. Even if the doctor explicitly states they suspect abuse.
In a decade of nursing, ive never seen CPS respond to an actual report of abuse, but i have seen them respond to incidents with no evidence of abuse, as if the staff had called them and shouted 'abuse abuse!'
I understand at least, the idea behind the reports. If a child is taken to multiple hospitals, the records might not come connect, but with the reports, its supposed to act like a safety net of sorts, the hospital might not catch repeated visits, but the reports that are submitted will.
As for the medicaid system, you are correct, in that, bu since most people dont quite understand the different branches and systems of government, i didnt really feel like breaking that down.
Hell, ive had to deal with it before, and it makes my head hurt.
Ya know something, that's the first time I've ever read a comment like yours that mentions the hospital bit. I can't believe I didn't think of that myself and more so that again, this is the first time I've read a comment like yours!!!
It's called being a Mandated Reporter. If a Dr/Nurse/WHATEVER doesn't make the call, it can cost them their license to practice and so much more. The reason THIS was taken so seriously, was because it falls under potential Abusive Head Trauma with the multiple skull fractures. Since the Drs couldn't come to a determination of what/how, they did their job to report it. CPS mishandled this situation, and jumped the gun with assumptions. There is no supplement for intuition and working knowledge/experience, when you have someone who thinks they're doing what's best for the kids. The kids were placed in Kinship care by the sound of the report, not in the custody of the hospital.
CPS agencies across the US have extremely high turnover, high degree requirements, the workers often aren't paid much. It can take years to build a case against the families that hop from coverage area to coverage area, and on top of that you have to keep in mind what's feasible. The likely cause here was a CW who was still young in their career with CPS, has too high of a caseload, and not enough time or resources to be effective and fair. Working WITH CPS agencies, I can assure you, without context of what goes on within these agencies... it will always look like they're doing the wrong thing, or are too late for the ones who needed the help. All of the attention towards CPS function in the light of Jerry Sandusky, and changes to CPSL have made an already tough and messy subject even more so.
As a psst CPS worker I have always told families to keep a journal of every transactions with CPS, service providers and anyone else. CA is a 2 party record so you can't record phone call. The ledger needs to have date. Time, person's name, job classification, as verbatim as possible write exactly what is said and then tell the person that you have written down everything g and it will be given to your attorney. If you dont have an attorney, just keep the information. Write line after line don't leave any spaces between the conversations. Make sure you sign every conversation then move to the next conversations.
I got interviewed at school as a child about injuries I never sustained. Always wondered if some poor kid was getting abused and neglected during the time they were trying to convince me I was
CPS came to our home a few years back and removed our kids. We found out later the case worker was looking for my husband's brother which was doing drugs and abusing his kids. He was hiding from them and the case worker thought by taking our kids it would keep her out of trouble. We were proven innocent, got our kids back, and she got fired for what she did. Unfortunately my husband's brother is still in hiding. We haven't heard from him in over six years.
Only fired? Sounds like kidnapping to me.
Stories like yours should be more widely heard. I know of damn little good from CPS. While so many cases of real abuse go uninvestigated, like the Turpins, regular folks are going through extreme family trauma. Folks should be outraged! Glad your situation wasn't more tragic. Peace & love from N. Georgia
You actually let them take your kids from you? I would have kill them all
@@georgepickett6853 if they did that then they would most definately not get their kids back, best think to do most of the time involving the government is record it ask politely why and argue civilly then get a lawyer and fix the problem and if necessary due the heck out of the person/agency
@mike sixx I mean you could but unless you had at least half the state behind you I dont think you wod get very far
CPS and DHHS NEED to be held accountable for their lack of judgement and in some cases, their vengeful actions. Good for this family and a HUGE THANK YOU to the lawyer who believed in them!
Particularly their vengeful actions.
When I was about 4, I fell off a chair (because I was a dumb kid) and sprained my elbow. My memory isn’t very vivid of the event but this is what my mom told me. So, she took me to an urgent care or something and I had my arm checked out because it was hurting. The doctor took a look at it and was doing all her things and then made one big assumption. She said that the injury looked like it was caused by “excessive pulling” (I fell off a chair, remember), like my mom abused me, and my mom could tell by the concern in her voice. I understand that it is a doctor’s job to make sure a patient is okay, but it’s crazy to me how some doctors will just assume that a child’s injury is caused by abuse. They’re children. Children who don’t know better and will always get themselves hurt or into trouble in some way
They did this to me and my husband they took our 2 little ones with no reason. I lost them both. I wasn't as lucky as this mom
They threatened to remove our kids if we didn’t let them inside the house to inspect . I made them leave and they came back with the sheriff. I told the sheriff the same thing i told them I don’t have kids!! Finally the Sheriff agreed it must have been the tenants before me because I have never had a child
It's against the law for them to threaten at any point to take your children away. The only thing I did was fight back as best i could against them and it made things 10x worse on me.
They threatened to remove the kids that you don't have? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eve Rose right lol
Complete idiots - most of those CPS workers are little more than kids themselves.
Just think of all the ones who couldn't afford a lawyer :(
The Court appoints lawyers. There is always a judge involved all along the way.
@@brendasnow8255 Court might appoint lawyers, but they're all in cahoots with each other. CPS gets their way in the end.
There was a whole podcast series on this case and a similar one involving same CPS.
@@brendasnow8255 only in criminal cases. I don’t think you got a public defender if you want to sue cps or try to get your kids back
That's us right now. They've already taken 12 grandchildren. When we have a huge 3320 sq. Ft. House and have prepared in case their whole lives.
Rapidly took their child away yet go into homes with feces on the floor and babies covered in bruises and below weight and they turn a blind eye.
Countless horror stories about CPS. When are they going to get investigated?
Something like this has happened to me and my wife . CPS got me fired from my job and put me on a protective order and told the judge and my work I failed a drug test but i had a prescription.
Cps is quick to take children away from good parents but love trying to keep the ones who are strung out and actually abusing their children together. If they parent says they don't want the child they try to put them in parenting classes and everything to help get them back. Actually love and want your child and they will fight tooth and nail to keep them away from you. Child gets hurt and you scared to get them medical help cause they will accuse you of knocking them upside their head.
So true
@Angel Taylor, true
Yeah children are hyper and crazy and dont stop moving so every child is gonna get bumps and bruises and cps needs to realize that.
Yeah they do! So many times I have read where a child has been given away for their safety. They have forced they parent (s) into parenting classes, returned the children, and they are killed. My heart goes out to these parents. Good for them. They should have been given more plus the termination if the persons who disrupted their happy home.
@dethtrk Jones that makes sense.
Devonte Hart & his siblings were starved then driven off a cliff. His body has never been found. If only CPS worked like this for actual cases of abuse
I know that horrifying case. Saddest thing in the world...
Remember Gabriel Fernandez? He should have never been given back to his biological parent. Those 4 CPS workers were found not guilty! Absolutely sickening!
@@juliefuraitor5610 I remember watching about that case on youtube it was very sad to watch even with all the abuse he still made a card for his mom. I think the excuse CPS made was that they moved around to much. Sadly I don't think anything happend to the CPS.
Darkshadows123 I know he still had love for his egg donor (master manipulator) even though he was in pain everyday. Nope nothing happened to any of them. The teachers fault too. She knew what was going on. Yet still let him go home. Idc if I had to go to jail I would’ve kept him from going home. Makes me sick!
Yesss or the case of Gabriel Fernandez who had multiple calls from his teacher and 4 social workers ignored him even when he had bruises and burns all over his body; they just believed the abusive parents “ he lies” they said UGH so horrible
CPS all bout that money I'm so glad this family got justice!!
This is why I want to get into social work and things like this because I want it to be better. I want to help not just destroy lives because I’m a bad person. The system needs to be better because they are doing more harm then good
I was is state custody for a few years when I was a kid, and because of it, cps appointed me a counselor from the state. When I was in 3rd grade the counselor would come and talk to me privately in the vice principal’s office every Wednesday. Like on our 3rd or 4th visit, the state counselor tried to coarse me into saying that someone I knew had touched me inappropriately(which they never did). She interrogated me with drawn picture of a female body and kept pointing at “private areas” asking if anyone had touched me. The more I told her no, the more she asked if I was sure or if I was lying or if I was scared. This continued for about two hours until it made me cry and she couldn’t get me to stop. Needless to say I didn’t see her anymore after that.
Now I’m grown, I turn 19 in a few months, and I have a 1 year old son. I’m extra cautious about people being around my son because I know the things that could happen if someone decides that I have pissed them off and they try to call CPS on me. It really scares me when I think about how easily possibly it is for my son to be forced to go through the same thing. He’s a very smart and loving baby, and such a momma’s boy. I would kill someone if I thought they’d try to get my son taken from me, I won’t allow him to go through CPS and state custody, it’s a load of twisted, sadistic bullshit for real.
What about all the other families this criminal agency has destroyed?
Ordered training????..... so that means that they aren’t trained before they go out and ruin parents and children’s life!!!!
About TIME!!! Thank God for true judges. CPS just oversteps time and time again
What is the worst thing you can hear from someone " I am with the goverment and I am here to help " .
Douglas Harris let me give you an example of how stupid this statement is
My dad did drugs and beat me teachers at school noticed and called cps and they came but my dad made me say “everything was fine” and they came back with a search warrant and 2 officers and went to talk to me and said “were with the government were here to help” finally my prayers had been answered they arrested my dad
An example of how that statement has helped lots of people

“Right to appeal” what?! CPS overstepped and violated their rights and still refuse to admit fault! Smh

The hundred k was probably taken by the attorney.
@@ladydragon7777 Those attorney fees$$$$$$$$$$$ are bittersweet!
Lovely Aya, And these two criminals are still employed....???... It's government funded gang to destroy families! But wait... are they in a hurry to remove kids from REAL cases of neglect and abuse? ...hmmmm... ;[
@@ladydragon7777 My kids are worth more then that so I'll be ok with the attorney keeping it all... I mean he saved those children from distruction.
I grew up with an abusive mother and I've told cps what was happening after the school called them. They then told my mother and of course she said she didn't do it. CPS really failed me and my siblings, this went on for years with many reports that they said they lost.
They only did something when I tried to kill myself (one of many attempt's) and went to the hospital at 13.
My grandmother said they wouldn't do anything until one of us was dead and sadly that almost was true. They fail so many children at it's sad.
Wonderful, I love that the judge stood up for this family. Yes, it may be the taxpayers that ultimately pay, but it seems only money gets their attention. No integrity in that CPS office. If you make a mistake own up to it, learn and proceed to do a better job.
Criminal! A full investigation into CPS practices is warranted!
Charle Shawn well the mother left a 9 month old in a chair by himself
Tragic!
Just some Guy and that warrants her kids being taken? Looks like the courts didn't think so
Trish Henley considering any right minded person would know “oh he’s gonna fall of” yeah a little
Just some Guy that does not give CPS reason to lie and take children away although they ignored the communication from the parents.
It’s ok to take proper action to protect children but this is simply Corruption at its finest
I like how the mom is honest about not seeing exactly what happened to her son. Cant keep an eye on them for every second of the day.
CPS just unlawfully removed my children back in January. I wish I could afford the same attorney as them. But God forbid I'm not letting them take my kids from me without a fight.
How are things with that ? Praying for you and your babies
Cps was created with good intentions but it is such a flawed system it does more harm than good.
I've seen so much child abuse on MTV teen mom alone but they never take the kids that are actually in danger and take kids that have normal accidents.
C.P.S. puts them in abusive situations kids have died and been killed while in foster care .
I am glad they are back together. It is so disappointing that an organization that is supposed to protect children tears apart happy families and overlooks children that are actually being abused.
Yesenia Contreras mainly because no one reports the other family’s because the parents know not to abuse kids in front of people
Children from very abusive homes are considered damaged goods. No joke it's sick look it up!!!!
so glad they are together! so happy for u an dur family! unlike i can say w myself and my daughter and cps!!! they are All criminals wanting that paycheck and wanting that notch on there belt... how many chirlden have we taken... notch... notch ...notch!!!!! they dont care about anything or anyone!!!! best wishes to u and ur family. ❤still praying for mine!❤
My parents were terrible... CPS was called so many times on them and they still were allowed to keep us 😞! To this day I have a terrible yet okay relationship with my mother yet part of me hates the government for letting me go through shit
It should have been 10 million that would put a stop to there lies. Love and respect to the family from Ireland.
At 3 months old my first born was taken to ER by my mom for his foot that he always cried about. Same day while I was at work my mom called erratically crying telling me to rush home. Cps was at my home after my sons ER visit because the doctor determined it was a "foot fracture". I was mortified with myself and my children's care takers. I blamed everyone including me because how could a 3 month old have a fractured foot? We were immediately signed into a contract with him being taken away (luckily my grandma was able to house him) and it was only 3 days but we followed up with a bone doctor who found out he had a rare condition called osteochondroma which are TUMORS in the body! His foot was never fractured but 2 weeks later he got surgery to get it removed. Hes 5 now and has had about 20 of these tumors removed. I still fear going to the hospital or him going to school without everyone being aware of his condition.
@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin Honestly I was so traumatized by the whole ordeal and him having this life long disability so I was more focused on my son and just glad to get cps out of my life. What hurts me most is after he was diagnosed I didn't get an apology or anything from cps they just disappeared like nothing happened.
Remember: The government is not your friend.....
CPS is not a government agency it is a privately owned entity that should have no power, authority or control over the American citizens and their children. They have more power than judges
I share this same sentiment that most do. CPS and DCF are HORRIBLE! And its scary to think that bc of an accident your child may be taken away. Watched a something other day of father being accused of abusing his son bc they claimed the child suffered from shaken baby syndrome at 9 days old but a doctor testified and said that injury can occur during child birth not just from being shaken. I feel like most of the time common sense can tell you weather a child is really being abused. But they're too busy wasting time on good patents. Its crazy
Totally messed up!!! The devastation and needless pain that "CPS" caused this little family is so sad.
After an incident with my father when I was about 16, I had to be interviewed by a CPS worker.
She had a very condescending manner, trying to insist that I was depressed and needed therapy and should go. Mind you I said absolutely nothing about being sad or unhappy in my life.
I was very insistent that I was not depressed, and she seemed annoyed and surprised when I wouldn't let her tell me how I felt.
Very unusual.
Erin Archer you're right that was pretty mild for CPS.
They took me and my brother away from a happy home constantly saying we where being abused no matter what we said. Been in the system for almost 3 years! 2 says befor my birthday to.
@@uglymistake3411 how did it happen??
@@salsue9494 do you mean how we got in the system? My dad drank beer with his medicine and had a seizure
@@uglymistake3411 do you think that they will ever let you go back home?
I have one child and have always wanted a few ever since I was little. But then CPS was introduced into my life and I don't even want to live myself anymore. I fear knocks on my door and don't tell anyone where I live. I use my parents address for my mail. They destroy people!
I can totally agree I have secondary post traumatic syndrome from CPS they came and took my children on hear say and without an investigation or any paperwork of any kind signed by a judge or anyone for that matter and this all took place at the same time my momma died in my livingroom and my husband had left and him and his family was doing all the reports to CPS that ultimately won him custody in the divorce plus I had just been rapped by one of the mention husbands so called friends while he was locked up so I've pretty much been holding on to the thought that God will see to it my girls are ok and can return to me in any way humanly possible because he knows the truth and the circumstantial situation that lead to all of these unfortunate incidents
I’m sooooo traumatized by cps that I’m scared of everything too! It’s horrible!
chuck wood hindsight is 20/20. I just trusted them and did what they said. If I knew then what I know now, I would’ve done things a lot differently from the start. 😢
@chuck wood Do you not hear what is being said? I was in the hospital with my husband and they just marched in with police and took my daughter. We weren't even home. No home investigation, no nothin. Just kidnapped my child.
Why don't we give you a drug test? Yeah, he was just in surgery! Of course there are gonna be drugs in his system!
Need more judges like this one these people are out of control.
Great attorney. God bless you!
That probably doesn’t even cover their lawyer bills. Judge should have made them compensate more to that family.... not only the trauma
inthelight7771, doesn’t make much difference CPS is not likely to ever pay it, they ignore court orders all the time, their normal defense is “we didn’t know” or “we forgot” and they always get away with it.
Right that $100k is probably almost gone after attorney fees.smh Lawyer fees are 33 and 3rd out of winning a case I think
@Golden Goddess All non public defenders set their own prices.
All of CPS needs to be retrained and then retrained again. I was sexually, physically and mentally abused at 12. All they did was send me back into the situation I was trying to get away from and did nothing to the person that was harming me. The person that abused me is still walking around, free, to this day.
Im sorry this happened to you.
