I am a teacher and upstanding citizen and CYS has targeted my family. They are a disgusting for profit organization that prey on families who they assume do not know their rights. I am a supporter and subscriber. Parents, we need to support this gentleman.
Going thru some malicious abusive behavior regarding CPS. They are not in the best interest of our children. CPS violated my due process. It's been a year and a half and still fighting for my rights to be a mother. CPS should be accountable for not doing their investigation
I beleive it is and should be the duty of care to provide the necessary ability to within the first two weeks over turn the orders and explain how if consent if given by way of force and or signing due to duress this is not legal and untill a certain point of signing by a judge are not in effect legal mayby if the necessary proof was able to be given but no proof has ever been withstanding
Privatise the contact if they try to target and do not allow them in your t house do not consent to opening your door and do not if you feel they will help you protect yourself against predetors ask them for any help they are not help self help is the only answer as when my son was assaulted physically they didn't act when they suggested eventually me having rights they suggested the use of charging with assault and intimidation they didn't follow through despite the risk to my safety my son's safety or the extra stress that may put me in fear against any other possible predatory people whom where around the hospital at the time and if the mother even went for a walk outside the room to get fresh air for even ten minutes each side that was in appropriate would endeavour to take advantage of the situation
If not mayby enquire regarding the domestic violence liaison Officer at your police department and the handbook with this titled is taught to junior police I beleive however acquiring relevant information is for some reason or assistance from this department obtains to be difficult for I'm not aware what reason
Too hear that both parents got Clean and fought for thier kid is heartwarming to me. As a recovering addict with almost 3 years Clean I know what it is like to have CPS in your life and I know how hard it is to stay Clean because of all the stress you have to deal with. I commend both parents because thier kid is worth more than any drug on this earth
CPS is quite possibly the single best example of how the government can take a noble, important & necessary function, and pervert it so much that it becomes almost pure, unadulterated evil. I don't have kids and don't know anyone directly who's dealt with CPS, but I worked with CPS somewhat directly when I was a firefighter, and saw just how evil they could be.
@@ButWhyMe... well it happened at the hospital our baby came about a month early. Soo they tested the mother to see what was n her system. Her test came back positive for a controlled substance. I barely got a chance to hold my first and only. After that everything else happened soo fast. It hurts to much to go into detail rite now but, if yr interested in knowing more, we can work something out for the near future. Till then thanks for showing interest
Wow, so sad for innocent parents. Wish all court appointed attorneys cared as much this lawyer. I have had a friend go thru a horror story because of corrupt cps
There needs to be help for parents being harassed by CPS. I have been harassed by them all of my son's life and it's a mess. I need help and am more than willing to join any group to get some kind of movement in motion. CPS needs to be stopped!!!
A lot of lawyers don’t find taking these cases worth while, or have no experience with these cases, which they then end up suggesting you cooperate with CPS causing families to lose each other. You, Sir, have gained a long term follower and I am sharing this as well!! ♥️ Thank you for your help!
Thank you so much for your passion to help parents like me. I am fighting an awful battle, like one of those stories you referenced. My children have been documented to have been sexually abused during a forensic interview, however the case was dismissed. Then because my children continue to report ongoing abuse and they are resisting visits, i am accused of making my children fearful! so now I am being investigated with suspicions (no evidence) of parental alienation!
My children had a forensic interview I’m still waiting but the caseworker is harassing me what usually happens after the forensic interview is anyone prosecuted? Or do they just close the case

I'll help you fight these criminals. They've lied in court, taken my children, and have allowed them to be abused. I'm currently filing a federal suit.
CPS, in concept, and sometimes in practice, has a very important job protecting innocent children from truly negligent and abusive parents. That being said, and speaking from direct personal observation, some CPS workers and some court counselors are extremely dangerous and power hungry. Good for you for finding the definite flaws inherent in the system.
Thank you for posting this video. My girlfriend and I are dealing with an insanely messy case with cps and it gives me hope knowing that they can be beaten
Not all parents are loving.. I wish CPS would've saved my ass from abuse when I was a child. Grown past it, forgiven, moved forward, breaking the cycle and creating a better future for my child. Boom!
Yes when they're really needed they're nowhere to be found now they're just coming and taking people's children because they make money they're sold into child trafficking some people never see their children again have a grandson and Arizona that is in their so-called children's services and within months they wanted him to be adopted out without contacting any family at all including myself his other grandparents his other grandfather they never contacted anyone and even though I have been approved for visitation rights they will not let me see my grandson they will not let me get him and there's no reason for it never once as the truth come out of any of their mouths never let those people in your home don't speak to them I pray for everyone in this kind of situation and we do need to stand up to them they are kidnapping our children!! GOD BLESS YOU
CPS has destroyed my family. Yes I had a drug problem for about 2 months. I've passed drug test. And this is the second time they put my 9-year-old in a mental hospital because she is lonely and scared and thinks that we have forgot about her. But now they're drugging her and I'm the bad parent. And my 7-year-old is nonverbal autistic she has nobody that understands her now. The foster parents are trying to get rid of her. Who knows where my little boy is. And my wife is still in rehab. They separated my whole family. And they are destroying my kids.
Prayers for you Sorry u are going threw this I am too. Not to the extent you are The Almighty is in charge Know it Never forget it Lean on Him He will go before you.
Great work! Yes it is severely broken system with zero accountability for DHS CPS etc. Civil rights of parents and children are stomped on everyday I believe the system needs a complete overhaul it should be a family protection system where the children are taken for sexual,physical, emotional , or psychological abuse or the threat of imminent harm is truly present . Speaking on substance use,Most parents parenting their children that have substance use issues love their children very much and should have every chance to rehabilitate without their child being taken from them or parental rights taken away. if there's no threat of immediate harm which is what the law states is reason for removal in Oregon. In my case the threat of immediate harm was not present and although a sheriff , and 2 CPS noted that I was Sober, working a program, the children were safe, and were resting at home at that time of their arrival, they removed my 3 adolescent kids based on the past (a brief relapse, which I had corrected myself) my concern is that the agency has zero accountability there's no real overseer to this program or agency. children and parents are often victimized and harmed by separation. when wanting to file a complaint I was told to complain to the same agency that had violated our rights. There is no complaint form to fill out or any due process of law. this is violation of Human and our Constitutional rights. When agencies neglect to go by their own policy. I'm a loving parent and my kids are strongly bonded to me, and the shame is that we will just have to wait and see what kind of damages this has cost them Thanks for your video
I am and will be you number one fan for each and every endeavor you take on concerning fighting back against defax. And thank you for making this video. I have a hell of a situation and it's so extremely wrong and they are methodically ruining my life. It's actually ruining me as a person and I am making all the wrong turns because of what they keep doing to me. I cannot find ONE PERSON that can actually help me.
If you did not just say what EVERY single parent with CPS issues doesn't actually grasp, no one ever can. These people have set a system in place that will, without fail, make whatever issues you are facing at the origin compound then explode to a perpetual state of increasing problems. They are making monsters from otherwise, harmless minimal at most offending good hearted human beings who need nothing more than a bit of support. They, instead, impose their will on you, pretend to have authority of over you (read: they don't), and fancy themselves into parole agents. LOL. what is the criteria to be a CPS social worker? havebeen born? not much more than that. these people are fucking halfwits that, at least in tulare county, CA are more likely to be the targetted parents in a CPS case, but because they picked a 9-5 allows them to all remain behind a "blue shield" type of wall that if looked into would prolly unravel the system to the point of abolishment. the sad fact however, us parents, being the creatures of conformity that they bully us into believing we have no other choice but to be, try to comply, get scared, hope for leniency, dont fight back and end up in a world of drugs (to numb the pain from loss of a child), law violations (assaulting someone out of absolute rage from the obstinent nature of their auto response answers and constant dragging of feet when the PARENT asks for ANYTHING in return for their compliance) or so fucking depressed (is the 100% termination of parental rights not the same as the death of a child? youre god damn right it is.) And even after youve ran their treadmill of absolution to find no resolution other than the judges decision to permanently place with ANYONE but biological parents, who wouldnt be so callous and riddled with mental health issues you find yourself no longer fit to be the parent that, if they, CWS afforded you 30 days of counseling and half an oz of compassion, you could have righted the ship before CWS systematically destroyed it.
I really need your help I wish!!! It's been so rough and not one of these government workers ,court appointed attorney s I've had two and was deceived many times on multiple occasions!!!!! My children are the ones whos suffered I need my reasons for getting up every morning I have prayed and asked for help ,it's killing me and I'm up to my limit with this knowledge of how these departments work. Very sad and for "Money", "Bonuses" . The truth always comes out in the end
Our two yr old cries for us everynite and we're promised if we got our utility pole fixed by electrician and land lord they would give us our child back well here's hoping come September they will cause it was upgraded before our deadline of August 13
Wow! Good job! Around here, there are NO attorneys that take on CPS. None. The poor parent would have to pay for an attorney who lives give hours away or further. In fact, it's something lawyers have actually told their clients.
THANK YOU!!!! I have never had to deal with dps. However I have witnessed a friend who was put thru hell of years. What I witnessed watching and listening to what she was going through at the time made me so sick. I had no idea how much power we have given to this organization. With a few necessary circumstances, dps can literally kidnap your children! Especially if you have a case worker who is gunning for you. For whatever reason. My friends case worker had motivation to get her child permanently taken. In the end found out that she pretty much guaremteed the foster mom that she would end up being able to adopt the child. They have no right to use foster parents willing to help. Evil. Broke her heart and destroyed my friend. But most importantly, denied her child a happy, stable and healthy childhood. Trying to keep her promise, dps intentionally designed the reunification criteria to be almost impossible. So much more, just can't get everything in this comment. THANK YOU SIR FOR GETTING CREATIVE WITH THE NEED TO TAISE FUND'S FOR THESE CASES. GOD BLESS
Why was the kid placed in foster care, it sounds like your friend must have done something wrong to begin with. If that was the case then the kid did not have a lovely and stable home. It does not sound right that CPS will just go around taking kids away from people.
It’s been over a year now and my siblings are still in cps. They’re 10 and one is turning 12 soon. In Australia, cps is messed up. They have put my siblings in danger on numerous occasions and have also sent them to bed without food, because my brother with autism didn’t like the meat with nachos. My mum has been doing everything in her power to try and get the kids back, and has been following what they’re saying but they haven’t done anything in return for us. They only took the kids form mum because she has ended up in hospital quite a bit, but hasn’t been in hospital for months now!! The system is messed up. We have HEAPS of stuff against them and I hope they get brought down. Also, I just recently turned 17 and have refused to leave my mums house and they eventually gave up me and my sister who is turning 16.
I'm so glad you have passion in your work. I felt powerless as the worker saying she was going to take my son, he could died, crazy ! the doctor even told her to stop. he never died. an accident, ok?!I'm sick of the child kidnappers #corruptedcps
Hello Brian! Wish you were in Illinois. My appeal was granted last month… and a month later (around today), I guess the states attorney randomly decided to grant DCFS’ motion to bring us to court and to make our kids wards of the state. I’m mindblown.
I know of a similar situation in Illinois as your first case. Apparently in Illinois a parent is not given representation and DCFS always gets whatever they want by saying that court should err on side of children. I personally went through it myself also many years ago. But here is a father losing his kids and DCFS wants to adopt them out. Kids are 8 and 11. Father is not an addict (other than Pot) but mother is. Father and mother are separated. Mother is with another addict and had 3 more kids, all taken away. Father wants kids but DCFS won't let him see them because of allegations from mother. In Illinois, an allegation is all DCFS needs. Proof or evidence is not necessary. Always been that way. Grandparents, great aunt, and great gmother wants to adopt kids. But DCFS wants no family guardianship. Family has no drug problems but family does not have lots of money either. Foster family denied medical care when one child got 3rd degree burns. DCFS does not care about that. How does family get guardianship?
No,they don't need evidences,just simple words.They are allowed to lie about us,but if we are lying about them what would it happen?The doctors wher my baby was inpatient lied about me an my husband that we are n alcohol and drugs without any proof,simple just because they wanted to say so.When we asked the worker for hair test she said they will not do it,was too expensive for us to do it,1000£ per person,they should do it,it is their accusation.But id i was lying like i saw the doctor walking around naked in all the hospital?They can say anything about anybody because they are professional(in what?in guessing in a crystal bowl?)but we can not say a thing about them,this is not fair.
Two constants for every single CPS case, no matter what the circumstance: 1. They always cheat; and, 2. Details are their kryptonite. AND if the court is involved, 3. They're never prepared for a hearing - not ever.
i would love to help make legislative changes overall with how cps operates. because like most good intended ideas, they have become corrupt with power and dont follow the constitution. i now study to be a paralegal hoping to one day help families dealing with cps
Im a mother dealing with cps as well an im from Michigan the system is currently currpt US PARENTS NEED TO SOME HOW (SAFELY)STAND UP AN COME TOGETHER AN SPESK TRUTH FIGHT....
I'm working with NAACP and Sacramento Decarcerate along with many other programs and organizations. Sacramento CPS has kidnapped my children for an investigation that is lasting over 4 months now! CPS has inside court connections who changed my address from Texas to my Dad's address in Sacramento, so the judge could use that to gain jurisdiction over my newborn who was born and lives in Texas! None of my babies have bruises, scars or marks and they are crying to come home! My teenagers are running away from foster homes and CPS is criminalizing them by placing warrants on them. I have a documentary with Black Zebra productions.
First of all each state needs to vet its employees to make sure their caseworkers and supervisors are qualified for their jobs. I persuaded the Illinois governor to make change happen in the early 90’s after years of harassment by my abusive narcissistic ex. I sent a hand written report made by a supervisor written in 4th grade language to the state governor of Illinois. A state wide survey was conducted which found most employees were not qualified for their jobs. 2 supervisors in the state only had a HS diploma when the jobs calls for a Master’s degree. Change was made as the result of the state survey. The results came as no surprise to me.
I am also a teacher and have been target by cps. I believe they took advantage of me in my hearing because I did not know how to lay the proper foundation to submit all the evidence I submitted. I need help never put my son in danger.
I have questions about cps lie about us and lost our rights and we need help with our kids coming back from foster care that has been harmful effects on the kids including judge refused to see facts of the case. Please help us. We need your help.
@@garrett4115 Still waiting for our arraignment hearing on the 27th of this month. Someone made false allegations against us so they came to our residence and found out our baby had no birth certificate so since we couldn't prove he was ours they took him.. so now we are waiting for a DNA test to come back. They also said he had excessive sun and a heat rash. My attorney says those are no sign of neglect but it's still scary. We just want our baby boy back. I don't think I could wait another day. We are being strong for him though.
@@garrett4115 My CPS worker is full of it. She wants us to take hair follicle test, urine test, psych examinations, parenting classes, the whole nine yards and drugs were not even involved in this case! I've been told that the judge can most likely deny the plan that they want.
@@garrett4115 Well I believe everything is happening in your favor. At least you made it through "the hardest part" with one that you could trust. Thanks for the talk. It really helps to come together with those that are experiencing the same.
Very interesting.Thank you. I am interested in your video.However,I have a son and a husband whom is sick.So I will catch this later.Very interesting tho.Thanks and bless all involved with having you on.Thank you!
I'm really confused by the drug test situation. My ex that never signed my daughter's birth certificate, is going to court for domestic abuse on me and broke the no contact order called CPS on me. He said I abused my prescriptions and sleep all day but I'm not addicted to my medications. A CPS officer came to my home and said she had to count my medications and drug test me. The police won't enforce the no contact order and people are being malicious about calling CPS. There's no danger for my kids here. It's insane! I wasn't given a case number, my parental rights pamphlet or anything.
A vindictive ex using CPS as a weapon of harassment is traumatizing and extremely common. I am so sorry you are experiencing that. The worst of it is the impact on the kids. These vindictive exes don’t see it but constantly being pulled out of school by police officers and CPS for interviews is absolutely traumatic to a child. He is playing with fire because CPS isn’t a gun to point at an enemy, they are a bomb that destroys everyone around them.
I just got to the end of your video. I’m 100 on board w you there needs to be a jury trial. We actually filed an interesting civil case in LA superior just last week that overlap with these issues.
Thank you very much for sharing your story to the public and teaching us,.. I truly understand everything takes time but one thing I think you're missing and I know you have the heart for this is to sue them for violating our rights Bad characters or individuals out of commission permanently
I currently have a cps case. I've had my daughter back in my home for 5 months. Got her home in 2.5 months. I've worked my butt off and jumped through he hoops. I've been clean since the took her. My relapse lasted about 4 days, so I was lucky there was intervention so soon. They were right to take her. HOWEVER, I have been told this entire time that my case would close in April. 6 months after family maintenance started. I can't find full time work because I have to go to classes every day for cps qnd have random drug testing and don't know until that day if I'll have to go test and only have a 4 hour window to test. They're under staffed so only open for 4 hours. Employers don't care for that. I was just told they intend to push it out until August because I DONT HAVE FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT. But they're WHY I don't. I have classes they Sen me to during the weekdays so working graveyard and going to these groups and having to sleep would mean putting my daughter in a 24 hour daycare for 16-18 hours a day. Now they're suggesting I volunteer to put her BACK in foster care until I have a full time job and close the case. But I'm scared they'll say that my 1 year to get her back is up and adopt her out. I'm terrified. I can't sleep or eat. I hold my daughter and cry. I regret my mistakes DEEPLY. I know I made a horrible choice. But the ONLY. reason they took her to begin with was a neighbor called and said I leave her ALONE all the time and leave the house. Because she didn't realize my 17 year old was home when I'd go to the store or run an errand. That's the only time I'd leave, qnd I usually took her with me. I came home to LE and a social worker. 5 deputies hollering like I had beaten her. I only admitted to using the day prior because I was scared and wanted to be honest. The original accusations came back unfounded. I've been honest since day 1 and they've lied the entire time.
Hi Rebekah I would like to as you what's your status now? Since you mentioned you may have to had your daughter going back to foster or adoption, I would appreciate your kindness for sharing with us what has happened ever since ?? If I'm right I believe it's being 10 months now right.?
The system is a catch 22. My biggest advice unfortunately is go on one of these websites and make fake check stubs saying you work somewhere so that you have enough income. It’s crazy the hoops they expect you to jump thru and that you can’t be honest with them. They won’t call your job because that can jeopardize your employment. Sometimes we have to bend the rules a little bit….🤷🏽♀️ Not sure what state you’re in but the federal law is you have 22 months for permanency if you’re working the case plan. I hope that things worked out for you.
Four years ago my granddaughter was taken from her mother by CPS. Beth has someone in her apartment, that was not suitable(the father said he was okay) but he wasn't. Simply being in the apartment was deemed enough to take the minor child away from her mother, per CPS. Minor child was put in the home of mother's friend for a year then put in the baby daddy's home that he shared with his sister and her husband. Up to date, March 6, 2021,Beth has done everything asked of her, yet minor child is still in that home. Minor child said she was touched inappropriatly by her father-CPS dismissed it because only hearsay, the latest being hurt physically by uncle-dismissed for lack of evidence (bruise on arm with thumbprint impression). CPS dismissed case for lack of evidence. The judge and CPS say minor child should stay in home of the very people she is accusing of harming her. Layer we have filed a motion to investigate guardians care of child. That's where we stand, to date.
Aloha Brian, this was a really interesting video, thank you for that. I have an open case with CPS in Hawaii. I paid a local attorney $30K flat fee to handle this case, which should have been an open and shut case, and we lost at trial. Even the attorney was shocked, an appeal was filed but I"m still tied up with this as they still have my child in foster care. The abuse of authority ramped up when the trial ended, they began denying my participation in my daughters medical appointments, really limiting our contact, not providing me with the services they require to get my daughter back. Services were ordered Aug. 9, 2019, first contact was made with me to begin services Jan. 27, 2020. I already located, paid for, and completed the services before they made contact to do so and they still won't give my child to me. The attorney will not do anything to protect us and I"m filing my own motion to dismiss. So, I know you can not practice law in Hawaii, I was wondering if you have time to just advise me on whether or not I'm filing this motion correctly. Thanks Lifeislafter4@gmail.com
so glad cps is looking into they have no business ripping children from loving parents and the ones they know should be taken arent! poor kids #Gabrielfernandez
That is exactly what I say- they’re disgusting . They bother good parents yet let the ones that really should be looked into aren’t. Cps workers are the worst group, the most corrupt system , period.
Hey what state are u in? I finished my case plan , then had my court appointed attorney file a motion with all the evidence of finishing my case plan , I told her to file a motion to return the children immediately. Idk what it’s called in every state
Parents being the beneficiary of our children the trusties can we use this technique in this kind of court. www.YouAreLaw.org explains the beneficiary position in court. Just want to know if we used this technique in family court would it work?
Cps keeps showing up. They called and said someone complained my kid smelled like cat pee and had lice. My kid doesn't smell like cat pee and she had lice 5 years ago when their was a classroom outbreak. 🤣 They have showed up twice since yesterday, each time I've turned them away. No warrant, no entry. My home is clean and my kids are well taken care of, so bother someone else who needs your help. I don't have anything to hide but I know my parental rights and I know I forgo my 4th amendment right when they step through my door. My kids have been instructed to film any interaction and just say "no, I don't have to talk to you". This agency does nothing but overstep with power they simply do not have. 🤣
Wait?! Lice??? Someone called CPS on you about your kid having head lice, and CPS actually took that as a serious allegation? That shit spreads like wildfire in school age children. And anyone who has ever dealt with it, any medical professional, anyone, that really knows, knows that has nothing to do with cleanliness or neglect. (although not treating it could be considered neglect-however, it’s one of those things that can easily be reinvested especially if a parent doesn’t understand how to eradicate it properly. Definitely not child abuse…) This cps power trip is unreal….
18:00 They are trained to go out and act friendly and tell people they are their to help most of the time to lie to them. And then wait until the next day or two and write what happened from memory, and their biased opinion that they are aloud to do because of the whole profit for hire, a large portion of cps workers are also convicted felons, alot of times for child abuse long before they worked in cps. The state has no legal recourse except in extrigent circumstances which has a narrow scope although they don't think so nor do they use it that way. However the supreme court has found many times that they are not worthy of Temporary immunity most of the time, especially if they purposefully made things up in order to deprive the parents from their property (children) which is a crime, conspire to manipulate courts and other peoples to do the same, act in bad faith which is as easy to prove as catching them lying and doing all the rest because that is how you prove it. And along those lines. I wish someone like you was in upstate NY. Not to mention alot of times doctors, lawyers, and judges, are related too and or friends with the foster parents and profit from them its all one big corrupt dirty mess. So you say your a private attorney do you mean you have your own private firm or business, or are you referring to Private as in not a member of the bar but another private association?
@@brianmayer28 I'm really lost right now. I cannot believe this is happening to my family. April or 2020 my children were taken for indecating behaviors of drug use. Its been a battle to say the least. I've done all that has been asked of me by CPS and have remained sober since November 15th 2021. They terminated my rights, I appealed it but lost the appeal. My attorney was awful. He kept things from me. Disclosed inaccurate information in my appeal brief. Completed and submitted brief without my consent or knowledge. Even though I repeatedly asked about the brief. November 15h he filed. I found out January 17th. My husband who is currently incarsarated called to tell me his attorney contacted him concerned about statements made in my brief by my attorney. March 1st, again he failed to tell me the appeal brief was denied. I believe I have grounds to file motion for reconsideration based on Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel. Also, it is my right to a fair trial. How can I have a fair trial if some unfounded facts where discussed in trial, which created a bad option of me by the judge? This case has so much foul play its unreal. I really need help. Guidance, anything. Waht your doing is amazing and is something I am very intrigued by. I have a passion for helping parents in my situation. HOW CAN WE PUT AN END TO CPS CORRUPTION? My family is literally breaking over this. Please respond. I would also gladly be a voice with you in what your doing. This is so important to inform society and put an end to this.
my daughter was taken wrongfully i believe. but no one in their agency sees anything wrong. lawyers in Colorado won't buck the system and everyone wanted me to do what they say. i feel my rights and families rights are being stomped on and no one is listening.
Many attorneys are not knowledgeable with CPS law and do encourage you to comply with CPS. You need to find an attorney who will defend you and challenge the decisions made by CPS and while they are few and far between, they are out there. I can’t understand why these lawyers think that you’ll hire them to do what you can do on your own. Only pay for an attorney who will DEFEND your rights.
Count me in Brian in helping you to form a co-alition to get legislation changed. but be very careful. Do you know about Senator Nancy Schaefer-? Thank you for helping us! Sincerely, LaVonne Collette
I live in Kentucky. My 17 year old son (turned 18 3 days later) got aggressive with me and my then 20 year old son came to my defense. there was a scuffle between them. CPS got involved. The CPS worker literally sat on the case for a year, and then sent a letter claiming substantiated abuse or neglect on me, because she said i did little to stop or prevent what had happened. I had called 911 twice, did my best to separate my sons, and ended up accidentally injured in the process. Can she really get away with filing this on me after keeping the case open so long? and what sort of abuse or neglect is she accusing me of by saying i did little to prevent it, but acknowledging i didn't hurt my son?
I am coming on your video because I am a disabled veteran and mother of four which means I don't have a lot of money and I couldn't afford a lawyer are quality legal representation. Me and my common law married husband our son was in foster care for 18 months and they went through three workers. Finally we were made to sign papers terminating our parental rights and neither of us had legal representation even though we had filed for legal representation and I even went to the judge to request a specific lawyer and which he signed the paper granting me that lawyer in front of me. But that day came and the lawyer for DHR was unaware of this and lie to my face and said I had no legal representation neither did my common-law husband. We were forced to sign life often documents with no legal representation then told not to appear in court the next day because it just be a rehearse of all the bad things they said about us in court the next day. That how I was not true they put in a new petition for both me and my common law husband to both pay $8,000 a piece in child support not to our son but to the county dhr. I'm a disabled veteran he has no job and they presented a new petition for a new court order and which we were told not to attend. That's violating my 14th amendment right and which almost died defending. This further called problems and they took my daughter and placed her with someone claiming to be my common law husband's aunt but she was of no blood relation and now this lady is in contempt of all nine court orders I just have no money to fight the system. Please help very respectfully JL Gonzalez
I'm grandparent in Dallas County and we're currently with a CPS case and my three grandchildren have suffered in the last two years in foster care homes they've denied me twice and a home study for bogus reasons and the third party lady specifically told me on the phone it was like that CPS wanted them to find something negative negative against me but she couldn't and didn't think it was very fair but yet she did say there was negative concerns in my home but never explained what they were and we put a motion in for the hearing for me to get temporary placement. They were doing it by a judge but the final hearing we have asked to have a jury trial and since covid-19 there are no jury trials so they've been pushing off the court date which is giving my daughter time to get her act together and be clean. But I'm trying to figure out is she took over 40 drug test and the first year and never failed one of them three hair strands to nail beds and several urine drug screens and they were all negative only after the kids were physically abused in foster care my daughter did turn to drugs she is currently in rehab and in waiting to get out and then have her time to be clean was her civil rights violated because she did pass on a drug test in the beginning the first year
I’m dealing with cps because of a very serious investigation and they put a one year protection order against me and now the years up and there been no police contact I e worked full time and they are reapplying for another order with no new grounds to do it so now they are saying mental health and alcoholism but I’ve been sober a year and never had any issues with mental health.
I know of someone involved in a case similar to your 2nd example many years ago. Father was accused of molestation when Father was in Illinois and child was in Arizona. Father had not seen child in 6 years. The mother was in the Army and had a scam going on where she would make allegations for money. Then later the father had custody and daughter wanted to go back with mother because she was not getting along with stepmother. Daughter had been through DCFS cases at least 4 times and knew how the system worked. Daughter made allegations, daughter taken from father, no evidence, just allegations. Police did NOT believe her. Then stepmother did the same thing to father because that is just what you do in divorce/custody cases. Again, no evidence. DCFS placed a 50 year thing on fathers record which now affects 3rd wife's grandchildren more than 30 years later. Father has been around kids all their lives with no problems. Can you reopen the case and expunge that?
It’s crazy my co worker and I were just talking about no jury trials and how it’s basically in the hands of the judge. We are parent partners who work with moms whose kids have been removed and help them navigate the system. We have all experienced our kids being removed and got them back. This is a pilot program in Ohio. Are you still looking to make changes?

DCFS is 100% about $ for the the State. In Arizona. I had my 7month old baby taken from me in 2019 when i was 46yrs old. Home paid for, Zero felonies. Make over 80k per year. DID NOTHING WRONG. A case worker decided to take my wifes ex husbands S.S. #, arrest record and his birthdate with my name in front of it. Unbelievable. Also took my wifes 11yr old daughter and gave her to the man they accused me of being. Of course we are drug free working citizens that play by the rules. Anyway i won my case after 29 days and children were returned home, but only after i spent 8k in lawyers. You would think i had a huge Lawsuit against the agency...NOPE...Offerd Attorneys in AZ thousands to represent me and they were all afrid to go after the State of AZ. One Attorneys told me..Because you won at Trial there wasn't enough money in it fo him as he has Sued CPS before. This is yet another example of our Country going Socialist/Communist...USA is over, freedoms and rights are GONE !
Please join and share to TikTok and put your cause out there. The content you are sharing is so very valuable, but you need to change platforms. This is only if you have not already. I’m interested in learning more about what happens when cps transfers over to fbss ( family base safety services ) . I’m not sure if it’s only for my state (Texas) though . But we are considering trying to seek legal counseling, but we really can’t afford it.
One part of this that makes me sad and frustrated, is just how much such an incompetent group of people can legally lord over other people. They definitely have certain circumstances/perceptions they go after in the general public. The qualifications for the job role appear to be frighteningly low. Incompetent & Unqualified are the two words my mind populates the most whilst observing these people. As an aside, I'm not sure you're trying to be funny, but you definitely are. *Preponderance of the evidence is an insane evidentiary burden that can automatically forfeit someone's parental rights, for all intents and purposes, even if momentarily, and this has to be changed. This enables the person sitting at the bench to have an unregulated overreach of power, and quite frankly, they're also not realistically qualified, nor do they have enough real information to make the types of decisions they do. They're attorneys, not psychologists, scientists, medical doctors, lab techs, etc. There's so much they haven't studied and don't fully understand. They are also people with their own perceptions and biases. There's way too much discretionary power there, and that results in an unjust system.
I subs I have a foster child who is marred with child removed. He an adult now. So find this interesting and thank you for helping and representing the families.
I have a question, i dont know if you can please respond me this, my husband has charges as felony by me but cps lied about many things, he didnt never hit me and cps removed my baby from me, now she is with a foster family and he was in drugs but i didnt know, about me ive never been in drugs. Anyway, i want to press charges but cps told me if i do ill never get my baby back and they are gonna give her in adoption, how can i save both of them?
I am a teacher and upstanding citizen and CYS has targeted my family. They are a disgusting for profit organization that prey on families who they assume do not know their rights. I am a supporter and subscriber. Parents, we need to support this gentleman.
Going thru some malicious abusive behavior regarding CPS. They are not in the best interest of our children. CPS violated my due process. It's been a year and a half and still fighting for my rights to be a mother. CPS should be accountable for not doing their investigation
I beleive it is and should be the duty of care to provide the necessary ability to within the first two weeks over turn the orders and explain how if consent if given by way of force and or signing due to duress this is not legal and untill a certain point of signing by a judge are not in effect legal mayby if the necessary proof was able to be given but no proof has ever been withstanding
Privatise the contact if they try to target and do not allow them in your t house do not consent to opening your door and do not if you feel they will help you protect yourself against predetors ask them for any help they are not help self help is the only answer as when my son was assaulted physically they didn't act when they suggested eventually me having rights they suggested the use of charging with assault and intimidation they didn't follow through despite the risk to my safety my son's safety or the extra stress that may put me in fear against any other possible predatory people whom where around the hospital at the time and if the mother even went for a walk outside the room to get fresh air for even ten minutes each side that was in appropriate would endeavour to take advantage of the situation
Please hope you reply with that the targeted issue has been dealt with
If not mayby enquire regarding the domestic violence liaison Officer at your police department and the handbook with this titled is taught to junior police I beleive however acquiring relevant information is for some reason or assistance from this department obtains to be difficult for I'm not aware what reason
Too hear that both parents got Clean and fought for thier kid is heartwarming to me. As a recovering addict with almost 3 years Clean I know what it is like to have CPS in your life and I know how hard it is to stay Clean because of all the stress you have to deal with. I commend both parents because thier kid is worth more than any drug on this earth
We did. N they won't stop.
The way that Child Services is unchecked and most family law attorneys work with DCS and don't want to shit where they eat, is disgusting.
CPS is quite possibly the single best example of how the government can take a noble, important & necessary function, and pervert it so much that it becomes almost pure, unadulterated evil. I don't have kids and don't know anyone directly who's dealt with CPS, but I worked with CPS somewhat directly when I was a firefighter, and saw just how evil they could be.
They stole my child
I've experienced this as an RN. Terrifying!

They tear up families and turn your life upside down instead of help the children who really need it.
A lot of lawyers don’t find taking these cases worth while, or have no experience with these cases, which they then end up suggesting you cooperate with CPS causing families to lose each other. You, Sir, have gained a long term follower and I am sharing this as well!! ♥️ Thank you for your help!
Thank you so much for your passion to help parents like me. I am fighting an awful battle, like one of those stories you referenced. My children have been documented to have been sexually abused during a forensic interview, however the case was dismissed. Then because my children continue to report ongoing abuse and they are resisting visits, i am accused of making my children fearful! so now I am being investigated with suspicions (no evidence) of parental alienation!
My children had a forensic interview I’m still waiting but the caseworker is harassing me what usually happens after the forensic interview is anyone prosecuted? Or do they just close the case
This attorney has WAY to much sense, knowledge and heart to be in California !!

I'll help you fight these criminals. They've lied in court, taken my children, and have allowed them to be abused. I'm currently filing a federal suit.
CPS, in concept, and sometimes in practice, has a very important job protecting innocent children from truly negligent and abusive parents. That being said, and speaking from direct personal observation, some CPS workers and some court counselors are extremely dangerous and power hungry. Good for you for finding the definite flaws inherent in the system.
Agreed...

@@rolandchristjohn1827 devils advocate
CPS has destroyed my family. Yes I had a drug problem for about 2 months. I've passed drug test. And this is the second time they put my 9-year-old in a mental hospital because she is lonely and scared and thinks that we have forgot about her. But now they're drugging her and I'm the bad parent. And my 7-year-old is nonverbal autistic she has nobody that understands her now. The foster parents are trying to get rid of her. Who knows where my little boy is. And my wife is still in rehab. They separated my whole family. And they are destroying my kids.
Prayers for you
Sorry u are going threw this
I am too. Not to the extent you are
The Almighty is in charge
Know it Never forget it
Lean on Him He will go before you.
Great work! Yes it is severely broken system with zero accountability for DHS CPS etc. Civil rights of parents and children are stomped on everyday I believe the system needs a complete overhaul it should be a family protection system where the children are taken for sexual,physical, emotional , or psychological abuse or the threat of imminent harm is truly present . Speaking on substance use,Most parents parenting their children that have substance use issues love their children very much and should have every chance to rehabilitate without their child being taken from them or parental rights taken away. if there's no threat of immediate harm which is what the law states is reason for removal in Oregon. In my case the threat of immediate harm was not present and although a sheriff , and 2 CPS noted that I was Sober, working a program, the children were safe, and were resting at home
at that time of their arrival, they removed my 3 adolescent kids based on the past (a brief relapse, which I had corrected myself) my concern is that the agency has zero accountability there's no real overseer to this program or agency. children and parents are often victimized and harmed by separation. when wanting to file a complaint I was told to complain to the same agency that had violated our rights. There is no complaint form to fill out or any due process of law. this is violation of Human and our Constitutional rights. When agencies neglect to go by their own policy. I'm a loving parent and my kids are strongly bonded to me, and the shame is that we will just have to wait and see what kind of damages this has cost them Thanks for your video
That's terrible. I'm sorry.
I am and will be you number one fan for each and every endeavor you take on concerning fighting back against defax. And thank you for making this video. I have a hell of a situation and it's so extremely wrong and they are methodically ruining my life. It's actually ruining me as a person and I am making all the wrong turns because of what they keep doing to me. I cannot find ONE PERSON that can actually help me.
If you did not just say what EVERY single parent with CPS issues doesn't actually grasp, no one ever can. These people have set a system in place that will, without fail, make whatever issues you are facing at the origin compound then explode to a perpetual state of increasing problems.
They are making monsters from otherwise, harmless minimal at most offending good hearted human beings who need nothing more than a bit of support. They, instead, impose their will on you, pretend to have authority of over you (read: they don't), and fancy themselves into parole agents. LOL. what is the criteria to be a CPS social worker? havebeen born? not much more than that. these people are fucking halfwits that, at least in tulare county, CA are more likely to be the targetted parents in a CPS case, but because they picked a 9-5 allows them to all remain behind a "blue shield" type of wall that if looked into would prolly unravel the system to the point of abolishment. the sad fact however, us parents, being the creatures of conformity that they bully us into believing we have no other choice but to be, try to comply, get scared, hope for leniency, dont fight back and end up in a world of drugs (to numb the pain from loss of a child), law violations (assaulting someone out of absolute rage from the obstinent nature of their auto response answers and constant dragging of feet when the PARENT asks for ANYTHING in return for their compliance) or so fucking depressed (is the 100% termination of parental rights not the same as the death of a child? youre god damn right it is.) And even after youve ran their treadmill of absolution to find no resolution other than the judges decision to permanently place with ANYONE but biological parents, who wouldnt be so callous and riddled with mental health issues you find yourself no longer fit to be the parent that, if they, CWS afforded you 30 days of counseling and half an oz of compassion, you could have righted the ship before CWS systematically destroyed it.
Me either. We would have to all come together to beat this this

Great videos brother. Keep up the good work. A true super hero.
Wow! Good job! Around here, there are NO attorneys that take on CPS. None. The poor parent would have to pay for an attorney who lives give hours away or further. In fact, it's something lawyers have actually told their clients.
THANK YOU!!!! I have never had to deal with dps. However I have witnessed a friend who was put thru hell of years. What I witnessed watching and listening to what she was going through at the time made me so sick. I had no idea how much power we have given to this organization. With a few necessary circumstances, dps can literally kidnap your children! Especially if you have a case worker who is gunning for you. For whatever reason. My friends case worker had motivation to get her child permanently taken. In the end found out that she pretty much guaremteed the foster mom that she would end up being able to adopt the child. They have no right to use foster parents willing to help. Evil. Broke her heart and destroyed my friend. But most importantly, denied her child a happy, stable and healthy childhood. Trying to keep her promise, dps intentionally designed the reunification criteria to be almost impossible. So much more, just can't get everything in this comment. THANK YOU SIR FOR GETTING CREATIVE WITH THE NEED TO TAISE FUND'S FOR THESE CASES. GOD BLESS
Why was the kid placed in foster care, it sounds like your friend must have done something wrong to begin with. If that was the case then the kid did not have a lovely and stable home. It does not sound right that CPS will just go around taking kids away from people.
It’s been over a year now and my siblings are still in cps. They’re 10 and one is turning 12 soon. In Australia, cps is messed up. They have put my siblings in danger on numerous occasions and have also sent them to bed without food, because my brother with autism didn’t like the meat with nachos. My mum has been doing everything in her power to try and get the kids back, and has been following what they’re saying but they haven’t done anything in return for us. They only took the kids form mum because she has ended up in hospital quite a bit, but hasn’t been in hospital for months now!! The system is messed up. We have HEAPS of stuff against them and I hope they get brought down. Also, I just recently turned 17 and have refused to leave my mums house and they eventually gave up me and my sister who is turning 16.
I hope you know I am happy to be apart of this and to know that it's ok for the finding that say RULED OUT!!!
I'm so glad you have passion in your work. I felt powerless as the worker saying she was going to take my son, he could died, crazy ! the doctor even told her to stop. he never died. an accident, ok?!I'm sick of the child kidnappers #corruptedcps
Hello Brian! Wish you were in Illinois.
My appeal was granted last month… and a month later (around today), I guess the states attorney randomly decided to grant DCFS’ motion to bring us to court and to make our kids wards of the state.
I’m mindblown.
I know of a similar situation in Illinois as your first case. Apparently in Illinois a parent is not given representation and DCFS always gets whatever they want by saying that court should err on side of children. I personally went through it myself also many years ago. But here is a father losing his kids and DCFS wants to adopt them out. Kids are 8 and 11. Father is not an addict (other than Pot) but mother is. Father and mother are separated. Mother is with another addict and had 3 more kids, all taken away. Father wants kids but DCFS won't let him see them because of allegations from mother. In Illinois, an allegation is all DCFS needs. Proof or evidence is not necessary. Always been that way. Grandparents, great aunt, and great gmother wants to adopt kids. But DCFS wants no family guardianship. Family has no drug problems but family does not have lots of money either. Foster family denied medical care when one child got 3rd degree burns. DCFS does not care about that. How does family get guardianship?
No,they don't need evidences,just simple words.They are allowed to lie about us,but if we are lying about them what would it happen?The doctors wher my baby was inpatient lied about me an my husband that we are n alcohol and drugs without any proof,simple just because they wanted to say so.When we asked the worker for hair test she said they will not do it,was too expensive for us to do it,1000£ per person,they should do it,it is their accusation.But id i was lying like i saw the doctor walking around naked in all the hospital?They can say anything about anybody because they are professional(in what?in guessing in a crystal bowl?)but we can not say a thing about them,this is not fair.
this attorney has good communication and he seems good
Two constants for every single CPS case, no matter what the circumstance: 1. They always cheat; and, 2. Details are their kryptonite. AND if the court is involved, 3. They're never prepared for a hearing - not ever.
i would love to help make legislative changes overall with how cps operates. because like most good intended ideas, they have become corrupt with power and dont follow the constitution. i now study to be a paralegal hoping to one day help families dealing with cps
Im a mother dealing with cps as well an im from Michigan the system is currently currpt US PARENTS NEED TO SOME HOW (SAFELY)STAND UP AN COME TOGETHER AN SPESK TRUTH FIGHT....
Its truly horrible
Please let me know when you do. They won't leave me alone.

I'm working with NAACP and Sacramento Decarcerate along with many other programs and organizations. Sacramento CPS has kidnapped my children for an investigation that is lasting over 4 months now!

None of my babies have bruises, scars or marks and they are crying to come home! My teenagers are running away from foster homes and CPS is criminalizing them by placing warrants on them.

I was a juror on a case where the attorney cross examined his own witness, who was a CPS agent. He literally impeached his witness on the stand.
First of all each state needs to vet its employees to make sure their caseworkers and supervisors are qualified for their jobs. I persuaded the Illinois governor to make change happen in the early 90’s after years of harassment by my abusive narcissistic ex. I sent a hand written report made by a supervisor written in 4th grade language to the state governor of Illinois. A state wide survey was conducted which found most employees were not qualified for their jobs. 2 supervisors in the state only had a HS diploma when the jobs calls for a Master’s degree. Change was made as the result of the state survey. The results came as no surprise to me.
Thank you for sharing this, you've inspiring me and helped me find somewhere to start.
I am also a teacher and have been target by cps. I believe they took advantage of me in my hearing because I did not know how to lay the proper foundation to submit all the evidence I submitted. I need help never put my son in danger.
Did you lose your job? There’s a lot of teachers here. I’m one. I just had an interview with a cps worker. I thought cps was supposed to protect kids.

I'm really confused by the drug test situation. My ex that never signed my daughter's birth certificate, is going to court for domestic abuse on me and broke the no contact order called CPS on me. He said I abused my prescriptions and sleep all day but I'm not addicted to my medications. A CPS officer came to my home and said she had to count my medications and drug test me. The police won't enforce the no contact order and people are being malicious about calling CPS. There's no danger for my kids here. It's insane! I wasn't given a case number, my parental rights pamphlet or anything.
A vindictive ex using CPS as a weapon of harassment is traumatizing and extremely common. I am so sorry you are experiencing that. The worst of it is the impact on the kids. These vindictive exes don’t see it but constantly being pulled out of school by police officers and CPS for interviews is absolutely traumatic to a child. He is playing with fire because CPS isn’t a gun to point at an enemy, they are a bomb that destroys everyone around them.

I currently have a cps case. I've had my daughter back in my home for 5 months. Got her home in 2.5 months. I've worked my butt off and jumped through he hoops. I've been clean since the took her. My relapse lasted about 4 days, so I was lucky there was intervention so soon. They were right to take her. HOWEVER, I have been told this entire time that my case would close in April. 6 months after family maintenance started. I can't find full time work because I have to go to classes every day for cps qnd have random drug testing and don't know until that day if I'll have to go test and only have a 4 hour window to test. They're under staffed so only open for 4 hours. Employers don't care for that.
I was just told they intend to push it out until August because I DONT HAVE FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT. But they're WHY I don't. I have classes they Sen me to during the weekdays so working graveyard and going to these groups and having to sleep would mean putting my daughter in a 24 hour daycare for 16-18 hours a day. Now they're suggesting I volunteer to put her BACK in foster care until I have a full time job and close the case. But I'm scared they'll say that my 1 year to get her back is up and adopt her out. I'm terrified. I can't sleep or eat. I hold my daughter and cry. I regret my mistakes DEEPLY. I know I made a horrible choice. But the ONLY. reason they took her to begin with was a neighbor called and said I leave her ALONE all the time and leave the house. Because she didn't realize my 17 year old was home when I'd go to the store or run an errand. That's the only time I'd leave, qnd I usually took her with me. I came home to LE and a social worker. 5 deputies hollering like I had beaten her. I only admitted to using the day prior because I was scared and wanted to be honest. The original accusations came back unfounded. I've been honest since day 1 and they've lied the entire time.
That’s good only 2.5 months… I wish that was my case
Hi Rebekah I would like to as you what's your status now? Since you mentioned you may have to had your daughter going back to foster or adoption, I would appreciate your kindness for sharing with us what has happened ever since ?? If I'm right I believe it's being 10 months now right.?
Being honest with DCF was your biggest mistake when it’s their job to twist & use your words against you.
It’s been a year since you wrote this. Hope that you have been reunited with your daughter.
The system is a catch 22. My biggest advice unfortunately is go on one of these websites and make fake check stubs saying you work somewhere so that you have enough income. It’s crazy the hoops they expect you to jump thru and that you can’t be honest with them. They won’t call your job because that can jeopardize your employment. Sometimes we have to bend the rules a little bit….🤷🏽♀️ Not sure what state you’re in but the federal law is you have 22 months for permanency if you’re working the case plan. I hope that things worked out for you.
Four years ago my granddaughter was taken from her mother by CPS. Beth has someone in her apartment, that was not suitable(the father said he was okay) but he wasn't. Simply being in the apartment was deemed enough to take the minor child away from her mother, per CPS. Minor child was put in the home of mother's friend for a year then put in the baby daddy's home that he shared with his sister and her husband. Up to date, March 6, 2021,Beth has done everything asked of her, yet minor child is still in that home. Minor child said she was touched inappropriatly by her father-CPS dismissed it because only hearsay, the latest being hurt physically by uncle-dismissed for lack of evidence (bruise on arm with thumbprint impression). CPS dismissed case for lack of evidence. The judge and CPS say minor child should stay in home of the very people she is accusing of harming her. Layer we have filed a motion to investigate guardians care of child. That's where we stand, to date.
Aloha Brian, this was a really interesting video, thank you for that. I have an open case with CPS in Hawaii. I paid a local attorney $30K flat fee to handle this case, which should have been an open and shut case, and we lost at trial. Even the attorney was shocked, an appeal was filed but I"m still tied up with this as they still have my child in foster care. The abuse of authority ramped up when the trial ended, they began denying my participation in my daughters medical appointments, really limiting our contact, not providing me with the services they require to get my daughter back. Services were ordered Aug. 9, 2019, first contact was made with me to begin services Jan. 27, 2020. I already located, paid for, and completed the services before they made contact to do so and they still won't give my child to me. The attorney will not do anything to protect us and I"m filing my own motion to dismiss. So, I know you can not practice law in Hawaii, I was wondering if you have time to just advise me on whether or not I'm filing this motion correctly. Thanks Lifeislafter4@gmail.com
Update ? Whattt 30k and lost WOWWW what did your attorney do?
I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you’re doing better now.
Love it. They need to be stopped ! They are very evil and destructive!
Help please! I don’t know what to do and am scared cps just violated my rights!
How did they violate your rights
so glad cps is looking into they have no business ripping children from loving parents and the ones they know should be taken arent! poor kids #Gabrielfernandez
I know the feeling our 2 yr old daughter Celina adores the hell out of us
@@tracyconnors5284 cps needs to die out and it'll start with us.
That is exactly what I say- they’re disgusting . They bother good parents yet let the ones that really should be looked into aren’t. Cps workers are the worst group, the most corrupt system , period.
Cps murder children law murder children
Gabriel was so beautiful. I hate what was allowed to happen to him. 😭
I NEED HELP WITH MY CASE BUT ITS HARD TO FIND A LAW ATTORNEY TO WORK WITH MY SITUATION
Hey what state are u in? I finished my case plan , then had my court appointed attorney file a motion with all the evidence of finishing my case plan , I told her to file a motion to return the children immediately. Idk what it’s called in every state
Wish you practiced in phoenix, Arizona
Following. thanks a bunch

Parents being the beneficiary of our children the trusties can we use this technique in this kind of court. www.YouAreLaw.org explains the beneficiary position in court. Just want to know if we used this technique in family court would it work?
Cps keeps showing up. They called and said someone complained my kid smelled like cat pee and had lice. My kid doesn't smell like cat pee and she had lice 5 years ago when their was a classroom outbreak. 🤣 They have showed up twice since yesterday, each time I've turned them away. No warrant, no entry. My home is clean and my kids are well taken care of, so bother someone else who needs your help. I don't have anything to hide but I know my parental rights and I know I forgo my 4th amendment right when they step through my door. My kids have been instructed to film any interaction and just say "no, I don't have to talk to you". This agency does nothing but overstep with power they simply do not have. 🤣
Wait?! Lice??? Someone called CPS on you about your kid having head lice, and CPS actually took that as a serious allegation? That shit spreads like wildfire in school age children. And anyone who has ever dealt with it, any medical professional, anyone, that really knows, knows that has nothing to do with cleanliness or neglect. (although not treating it could be considered neglect-however, it’s one of those things that can easily be reinvested especially if a parent doesn’t understand how to eradicate it properly. Definitely not child abuse…) This cps power trip is unreal….
18:00 They are trained to go out and act friendly and tell people they are their to help most of the time to lie to them. And then wait until the next day or two and write what happened from memory, and their biased opinion that they are aloud to do because of the whole profit for hire, a large portion of cps workers are also convicted felons, alot of times for child abuse long before they worked in cps. The state has no legal recourse except in extrigent circumstances which has a narrow scope although they don't think so nor do they use it that way. However the supreme court has found many times that they are not worthy of Temporary immunity most of the time, especially if they purposefully made things up in order to deprive the parents from their property (children) which is a crime, conspire to manipulate courts and other peoples to do the same, act in bad faith which is as easy to prove as catching them lying and doing all the rest because that is how you prove it. And along those lines. I wish someone like you was in upstate NY. Not to mention alot of times doctors, lawyers, and judges, are related too and or friends with the foster parents and profit from them its all one big corrupt dirty mess. So you say your a private attorney do you mean you have your own private firm or business, or are you referring to Private as in not a member of the bar but another private association?
I am a member of the bar. I work under my own law firm.
@@brianmayer28 I'm really lost right now. I cannot believe this is happening to my family. April or 2020 my children were taken for indecating behaviors of drug use. Its been a battle to say the least.
I've done all that has been asked of me by CPS and have remained sober since November 15th 2021. They terminated my rights, I appealed it but lost the appeal. My attorney was awful. He kept things from me. Disclosed inaccurate information in my appeal brief. Completed and submitted brief without my consent or knowledge. Even though I repeatedly asked about the brief. November 15h he filed. I found out January 17th. My husband who is currently incarsarated called to tell me his attorney contacted him concerned about statements made in my brief by my attorney. March 1st, again he failed to tell me the appeal brief was denied. I believe I have grounds to file motion for reconsideration based on Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel. Also, it is my right to a fair trial. How can I have a fair trial if some unfounded facts where discussed in trial, which created a bad option of me by the judge? This case has so much foul play its unreal. I really need help. Guidance, anything.
Waht your doing is amazing and is something I am very intrigued by. I have a passion for helping parents in my situation. HOW CAN WE PUT AN END TO CPS CORRUPTION? My family is literally breaking over this. Please respond. I would also gladly be a voice with you in what your doing. This is so important to inform society and put an end to this.
I’m a mental health advocate. I’m all in with changing legislation, unfortunately here in Davidson NC people are scared to speak up.
I'm in nc dealing with wake county and it is so frustrating
I will do whatever I can to start a movement with you and who ever that has had their kid kidnapped
I need help plz my baby it's 3 months
Pls help. I’ll be done for if this happens
my daughter was taken wrongfully i believe. but no one in their agency sees anything wrong. lawyers in Colorado won't buck the system and everyone wanted me to do what they say.
i feel my rights and families rights are being stomped on and no one is listening.
I hate when attorney's won't protect their client for fear of rocking the boat. Keep fighting.
Many attorneys are not knowledgeable with CPS law and do encourage you to comply with CPS. You need to find an attorney who will defend you and challenge the decisions made by CPS and while they are few and far between, they are out there. I can’t understand why these lawyers think that you’ll hire them to do what you can do on your own. Only pay for an attorney who will DEFEND your rights.
thanks you guys!
Not only that they are incompetent but corrupt as well..
We need your help in north Texas
i live in rosamond california and need a lawyer to help me get my only granddaughter back from dcfs custody

A 3rd time beating them in our state of PA would be one hell of a miracle of god
Offered us voluntary agreement
Thank god I have one hell of a miraculous attorney
I live in Kentucky. My 17 year old son (turned 18 3 days later) got aggressive with me and my then 20 year old son came to my defense. there was a scuffle between them. CPS got involved. The CPS worker literally sat on the case for a year, and then sent a letter claiming substantiated abuse or neglect on me, because she said i did little to stop or prevent what had happened. I had called 911 twice, did my best to separate my sons, and ended up accidentally injured in the process. Can she really get away with filing this on me after keeping the case open so long? and what sort of abuse or neglect is she accusing me of by saying i did little to prevent it, but acknowledging i didn't hurt my son?
I am coming on your video because I am a disabled veteran and mother of four which means I don't have a lot of money and I couldn't afford a lawyer are quality legal representation. Me and my common law married husband our son was in foster care for 18 months and they went through three workers. Finally we were made to sign papers terminating our parental rights and neither of us had legal representation even though we had filed for legal representation and I even went to the judge to request a specific lawyer and which he signed the paper granting me that lawyer in front of me. But that day came and the lawyer for DHR was unaware of this and lie to my face and said I had no legal representation neither did my common-law husband. We were forced to sign life often documents with no legal representation then told not to appear in court the next day because it just be a rehearse of all the bad things they said about us in court the next day. That how I was not true they put in a new petition for both me and my common law husband to both pay $8,000 a piece in child support not to our son but to the county dhr. I'm a disabled veteran he has no job and they presented a new petition for a new court order and which we were told not to attend. That's violating my 14th amendment right and which almost died defending. This further called problems and they took my daughter and placed her with someone claiming to be my common law husband's aunt but she was of no blood relation and now this lady is in contempt of all nine court orders I just have no money to fight the system. Please help very respectfully JL Gonzalez
Justice will not be served until those who unaffected are as outraged as those who are
How many times have you beat CPS so far?
Hi, Do you do Family Law? I have a F. L. Court on June 25, 2020 at 8:30 a. m. I appreciate. Thanks.
I'm grandparent in Dallas County and we're currently with a CPS case and my three grandchildren have suffered in the last two years in foster care homes they've denied me twice and a home study for bogus reasons and the third party lady specifically told me on the phone it was like that CPS wanted them to find something negative negative against me but she couldn't and didn't think it was very fair but yet she did say there was negative concerns in my home but never explained what they were and we put a motion in for the hearing for me to get temporary placement. They were doing it by a judge but the final hearing we have asked to have a jury trial and since covid-19 there are no jury trials so they've been pushing off the court date which is giving my daughter time to get her act together and be clean. But I'm trying to figure out is she took over 40 drug test and the first year and never failed one of them three hair strands to nail beds and several urine drug screens and they were all negative only after the kids were physically abused in foster care my daughter did turn to drugs she is currently in rehab and in waiting to get out and then have her time to be clean was her civil rights violated because she did pass on a drug test in the beginning the first year
Going through the same thing with my grandkids!
I’m dealing with cps because of a very serious investigation and they put a one year protection order against me and now the years up and there been no police contact I e worked full time and they are reapplying for another order with no new grounds to do it so now they are saying mental health and alcoholism but I’ve been sober a year and never had any issues with mental health.
He needs to be in west Virginia big time
God I wish you were in Florida so badly! These people are monsters.
I know of someone involved in a case similar to your 2nd example many years ago. Father was accused of molestation when Father was in Illinois and child was in Arizona. Father had not seen child in 6 years. The mother was in the Army and had a scam going on where she would make allegations for money. Then later the father had custody and daughter wanted to go back with mother because she was not getting along with stepmother. Daughter had been through DCFS cases at least 4 times and knew how the system worked. Daughter made allegations, daughter taken from father, no evidence, just allegations. Police did NOT believe her. Then stepmother did the same thing to father because that is just what you do in divorce/custody cases. Again, no evidence. DCFS placed a 50 year thing on fathers record which now affects 3rd wife's grandchildren more than 30 years later. Father has been around kids all their lives with no problems. Can you reopen the case and expunge that?
Do you know if you can file a modify custody motion for a nonsecure hearing?
Cps took 1 of my grandkids at the age of 3 months and he is now over 21 ND we haven't seen him since he was 3 months old.
It’s crazy my co worker and I were just talking about no jury trials and how it’s basically in the hands of the judge. We are parent partners who work with moms whose kids have been removed and help them navigate the system. We have all experienced our kids being removed and got them back. This is a pilot program in Ohio. Are you still looking to make changes?
I would love your assistance with my nieces

Question is who and how do I sue four years of hell and I was never even on the petition
How can I remove a dismissed case from 13 years ago when I was reported?
DCFS is 100% about $ for the the State. In Arizona. I had my 7month old baby taken from me in 2019 when i was 46yrs old. Home paid for, Zero felonies. Make over 80k per year. DID NOTHING WRONG. A case worker decided to take my wifes ex husbands S.S. #, arrest record and his birthdate with my name in front of it. Unbelievable. Also took my wifes 11yr old daughter and gave her to the man they accused me of being. Of course we are drug free working citizens that play by the rules. Anyway i won my case after 29 days and children were returned home, but only after i spent 8k in lawyers. You would think i had a huge Lawsuit against the agency...NOPE...Offerd Attorneys in AZ thousands to represent me and they were all afrid to go after the State of AZ. One Attorneys told me..Because you won at Trial there wasn't enough money in it fo him as he has Sued CPS before. This is yet another example of our Country going Socialist/Communist...USA is over, freedoms and rights are GONE !
Please join and share to TikTok and put your cause out there. The content you are sharing is so very valuable, but you need to change platforms. This is only if you have not already. I’m interested in learning more about what happens when cps transfers over to fbss ( family base safety services ) . I’m not sure if it’s only for my state (Texas) though . But we are considering trying to seek legal counseling, but we really can’t afford it.
I am a father and my 4the amendment has been violated with poor CPS investigations, that were malice and negligent. Is there any help for me?
My friends lost her kids bcs she failed a hair folical test any advice on how to overturn this
One part of this that makes me sad and frustrated, is just how much such an incompetent group of people can legally lord over other people. They definitely have certain circumstances/perceptions they go after in the general public. The qualifications for the job role appear to be frighteningly low. Incompetent & Unqualified are the two words my mind populates the most whilst observing these people. As an aside, I'm not sure you're trying to be funny, but you definitely are. *Preponderance of the evidence is an insane evidentiary burden that can automatically forfeit someone's parental rights, for all intents and purposes, even if momentarily, and this has to be changed. This enables the person sitting at the bench to have an unregulated overreach of power, and quite frankly, they're also not realistically qualified, nor do they have enough real information to make the types of decisions they do. They're attorneys, not psychologists, scientists, medical doctors, lab techs, etc. There's so much they haven't studied and don't fully understand. They are also people with their own perceptions and biases. There's way too much discretionary power there, and that results in an unjust system.
