Fighting Child Protective Services False Allegations

CPS is suppose to save children. Unfortunately it does a lot of harm. I can relate because 40 years ago I was a fostercare and protective services worker. Wow. You brought back some painful memories. Hope you will visit my new lens about emotional healing. Gary Eby, author and therapist.

um hi, I am a 38 y.o single mom to a 4 y.o WONDERFUL little guy, today he is 4!I DESPERATELY need help or at least a point in the right direction to get help. My mother, who couldnt even manage to raise me, has went in a VERY discietful way and basically KIDNAPED my baby after having filed for guardianship of him. She wanted for him to stay "the night" with her and I agreed after TWO days of her pestering me...with the understanding that he was to be home the following day. What I didn't know was that close to a week BEFORE this she had filed. so the next morning when I was expecting my son home I instead answered the door to a sheriff officer who was there to serve me the papers. This was just a couple of days before Christmas, and she has only "allowed" me to see him 3 times since!! I dont know how to go about getting my boy back and every road I have been taking just ends with another dang brick wall. HELP I BEG YOU tammyidontknow@yahoo.com, or feel free to call (209)818-5024.

I worked in a childcare facility for almost a year in a class of 3 yr. old. I absolutly loved it and could not wait for my 1 year review to be teacher qualified. I want to be a preschool teacher, its been my dream for along time. well 2 months before my 1 year i showed up at work and was told to leave due to the fact there was an allegation against me for slapping a 2.5 year old girl 2 days before. I of course told them it was not true and I would never do that. I contacted cps and the caseworker could tell me nothing due to the fact I was the alleged perpitrator and she wanted my side of the story. well, I don't have a story because I did nothing wrong. She said I wasn't able to go back until the case was closed. she said they ahd to interview everyone present that day. Ya, they never did, and they never contacted my work place. I have been trying to get back in touch with cps since and have heard nothing. What the "F" kind of system are they running! They ruined my chilcare career!!!

I so understand your fight, though I have been on the other end of the problem as a foster parent. I have fought for the rights of children to have a voice in the courtroom. I saw for myself about my children my not just meeting their parents, but spending time with them to really get to know them. Some, I saw were really trying but others were obviously snowing the court...those I went after. I was able to help in many cases but I was drained emotionally since I had the children in my home as well. We adopted one such child and raised her to adulthood ourselves. You can find her story (Part I) on my lens: http://www.squidoo.com/Audreys. Keep up the good work!

Wow, this is some intense information. I don't know what they're teaching social work students these days; but CPS abuses both birth parents and good foster parents (see a case here in WA state, http://www.fosterjustice.com/Poca/Poca.htm ); rips away children on false accusations, and doesn't do enough for children who are in abusive situations. I know a Muslim family who lost all their children on false accusations of abuse (some of them by a grandparent who disapproved of her daughter's conversion to Islam). CPS seems especially to target families who are socially and economically vulnerable (poor, homeless and unemployed, immigrants, same-sex couples, people of color, religious minorities, etc.), while giving upper-class parents plenty of leeway. They seem to have become, as I wrote elsewhere, an "under-the-table adoption agency for poor kids." There is real child abuse out there, but it's got to be handled better than this...anyway, thanks for writing!

I am FED up! we took in my troubled sister who only starting having problems for a year or so because she fell into the wrong crowd. We laid rules down for her to follow and it did not sit well with her, having rules was something she was not used to. She thought she was never going to go to be able to go home to her troubled friends and boyfriend. Well she decided to tell her friends she was being abused and has got our whole family in an uproar. Luckily our whole family is backing my husband and everyone knows it was a huge lie she has told to get home. Cps has changed every allegation paper every time we go to court. Something new is added or taken out, or our words are twisted to make her look credible. They are saying my husband has to take these counseling classes before he comes home HOW!! when he is not guilty why should he submit himself to that! My husband is a United States Soldier!! he fights for freedom and this country why has his country turned on him!

You really are inspiring. This is a brilliant lens. I would love to hear Mom_Muze story listed here in your comments. I live very close to Riverside County. I have a lot of problems with Child Support Services and I think all these counties need someone to answer too! I mean a REAL someone to answer to. There are so many cracks and flaws that are swept under the rug that no one takes the time to examine each case on an individual basis to really get what's in the best interest of the children.

Brilliant lens! Great original topic, a great way to get people to speak out !! You deserve 10 stars! They would only let me give you 5?

What a moving and excellent lens. My first career was as a lawyer. I was a litigator specializing in helping those abused in children's homes and foster care. I saw many things and heard many accounts which changed the way that I thought about the care system and indeed about life in general. I often felt that there really wasn't much that I could do at this stage as the damage had already been done, but I hope that in some way I made a difference to some. Heartfelt Angel Blessings to you.

Linda, this is very moving. I was in foster care for 2 weeks - not because of anything my parents did but because my Mum had to have an operation and there was no one to care for me and my baby brother. It was in the days when Dads could not get paid time off for anything like that and we were too poor for Dad to lose any money. It was a nightmare and I was hit - I was only 5 at the time. So I know first hand the "darker side" of fostering.

Angel blessings for you and the work you do and for the fact that this is an excellent lens.

With the good comes the bad, it is no suprise that the government is out of control when it comes to "protecting" children. I remember when I was 13 and CPS visited me for the first time. A man took me out of class and sat me in a room alone with him. He informed me that my parents didn't know about it and I could say whatever I wanted to him. He asked me if my dad beat me, my dad is the sweetest guy in the world, so I looked at him funny and told him "No." After asking me some questions he got really upset and started pushing me really hard to say things that weren't true. "Your just confused, " he would say, "Your parents are extremely abusive aren't they? We can give you a good home that you don't have to deal with other brothers and sisters- just tell me they hurt you. COME ON! I know they are abusive!!" The guy was really trying to make me lie. I still don't know why. He didn't get me to though.
Thank you so much for sharing with us! I enjoy your lenses.

Kudos to you for taking on such a worthy cause! I am sad to say I have seen this happen myself, most recently by a caring parent who dared to spank his misbehaving child outside of a restaurant. It took the poor man an entire year to get his child back, and pretty much ruined his life. I know my daughter had one speed - "wide open" - and always had all manner of scratches, scrapes, and bruises from bike wrecks, trees, etc.. Thankfully, they were never misinterpreted (but I definitely worried about it!) 5* to a wonderful champion for a noble cause :o)

Recently, my mother and my husband had argument, where she threatend to have her husband beat my husband up and call CPS on us for no reason. A few days later, they did. They stated that we had a history of domestic violence, our kids aren't supervised, and that we let the house and our kids get filthy. None of these are true. My stepfather did this as an act of vengence because my mother lied and said my husband said f*** him. I have a voice recording of him confessing to calling CPS and to topit off he's manic depressive schizophrenic with complusive cutting disorder. My mother is bi-polar with compulsive cutting disorder. Now CPS came and took my kids away a few days ago and I have court tomorrow. The police said that we should get them back after court, but I am so scared that they may be indefinitately stuck in the system. My aunt, went and filed a complaint against us because we no longer were giving her access to our kids. I don't even know where to start for help.

hi, I may very well be the one person to ever have asked cps for help with my children and have every family/parental right denied! I have been harrassed and jailed for reasons I do not know to this day! I have had restraining orders placed on me to keep me from my children! I have had basically everything that is not legally allowed to happen in these kind of cases done to me! I have watched the court reporter take whole pages of statements out of the final court transcripts! I Have not seen either one of my children since 2005! I have now had a second true finding against me without my atty to recomending an appeal, and when I managed to get one started the judge dismissed it! I was not made aware of that event untill the day after it could be requested again! I have been falsely accused of molesting my children and told to attend special counciling to address it and process it- there I was told that if I did not say I did IT that they would fail me, too much for this box need help

I have recently been investigated by CPS because our Foster son (a 17yr-old Honduran gang member) was caught smoking weed and decided in order to get the heat off of himself he told our foster care agency that we were smoking weed, my husband was abusing me, that we don't feed him or let him leave the house. This was so outrageous that I wanted to take them to court! My husband and I are probably the most loving and caring and best foster parent's their system even has. Well, they couldn't gather any evidence AT ALL that any of this was going on but the CPS worker was so determined to also take away my beautiful 2yr-old daughter that he threatened to file an abuse and neglect case against me for my choosing not to get my daughter vaccinated and for choosing to treat any and most of my child's health problems (which she has none) with holistic doctors!!! WOW! My lawyer told him if that was all he had to bring it on! and that she couldn't wait to see him in court!

In December of 07 my 2 beautiful children were taken by CPS due to false alligations made by my mother. I have done everything they have asked of me. I have proven them wrong over and over, yet at every new court date they come up with something to keep this whole thing going. When does it end. I am so frustrated. My children are 4(girl) and 11(boy). My parents are filling my boy full of things and using him to make up alot of things. What can I do? My four year old was close to being returned but the judge granted them an extension to gather more info. Every court date is like this. I feel like i'm guilty until proven innocent. I thought it was the other way around in the court of law? HELP!!!!!

Please help! They took away my breastfeeding baby girl & my 2 yr old boy because I called 911 since I thought someone broke into my house! We moved stuff from our 3 bedroom house into a furnished 2 bedroom townhouse so it was packed, but I got a moving truck and was in the process of emptying the house out to go into storage. My husband wasn't in the country so when the deadbolt locked when I tried to get back into the house, I feared someone broke into my house when I was in the moving truck in front of my house because there had been some robberies in my neighborhood. I called 911 since my babies were sleeping in the house. I warned the dispatcher that I was moving & the house was a mess, but they said it wouldn't matter. When the police arrived, they didn't find anyone, but they took everything away from me. Things on the floor & our smoke detector not working made my house a hazard, so they condemned it. Then they took my kids since they said I endangered them. momoftwo79@gmail.com

I witnessed a child abuser abuse her child at a party three other doctors that were there saw her too. So after I saw that I told the grandparents and the father of the child all of that . We called CPS and in 2 months they closed the case . They didn't say why they just did . Others at that party saw it too . So in court the father testified about that when he tried to get some custody of his child CPS wrote a letter that cleared her but that child soon after had bruises all over her body and at that time that child couldn't even crawl cause she was still a new born . Does anyone know how I can save this child from abuse . The father of that child even has an audio tape that his ex even confesses to child abuse . can anyone please help me and that child from the abuse from her mother .

I only got to hold him for 1 hour after he was born. I was not alowed to change his diaper alone because since I was melested and rapped as a child there was a great risk of me doing it to my son. CPS is now terminating my rights. I have done everything they have asked to the T. My counseler advised me to leave my 52 week program because I was getting abused in it. Just on that alone. They want to terminate but still alow me to have weekends unsupervised. The father of my older two beat my daughter with the belt recently and left bruises. I was forced to call and make a police report or cps would take them from me. I had a socail worker come to my home in merced county telling me I am not going to remove your kids.

Maybe someone can help me with this one. I went to court yesterday on behalf of my grandaughter whom I have had custody of for 10 years,I ask for a court appointed attorney, I realize they aren't great but at least they are councel for the court systems. I was denied, yet mom and dad were granted attorney's. Neither parent active in this child life for all these years. My son was in prison and mom has lost 2 children to this agency that were adopted out due to abuse and I had custody of this one for abuse also. When my son went to prison I begged CPS to place this child with me but they would not I hired an attorney and got custody of her on my own. At this time my funds are low and they have me jumping through hoops with all kind of counceling and so forth,even if I had a job I could not work I am tied up 3 days a week on the service plan and a 4th day I see my grandaughter for 1 hour. I do not understand how I am not intitled to councel when I can not afford my own.

The worker was really mean to me right off..He knocked on my door like he was the police or something scared me and the kids to death. My step son who is 4 was crying don't let them take me mommy. He would not even talked to me until I produced the children. Like I was hinding them somewhere. Well he sent me into a panic attack I could not even let him into my house I was so upset. So then he said he was leaving and he would be prosecuting me. I done nothing wrong I was getting ready to have a panic attack and I could not deal with him. So I had my step son's thepist call CPS to tell them to come back but the guy was not in the office and was not coming back the rest of the day. I am so scared now.

This is not new. I am 30 years old now. When I was 12 I was pulled out of my class in school and sent into foster care. They claimed and made me admit that my father was sexually molesting me. Which was not true. They put me in foster care and proceeded to find evidence against my father. None was ever found and he was never charged. But I was abused while in the foster care home and began to run away from every home they put me in. They placed an order on my father that he can not come within 500 feet of me. Mind you even when they decided that there was no evidence they did not lift this. I was in the foster care system until I reached 18 years old. I did not stay in a home long enough for them to get any paperwork together to place me for adoption. And by that time I was considered a problem child and no one really wanted me in their home anyways. Despite what they said I did see my father but every time they found out they would just pull me back out of his home.

So many with the same problem. Does our government no care about the people they say they're protecting? We've been fighting a battle with CPS for five years on and off all due to false allegations made by my son's ex wife. As stupid as she is she doesn't realize if the state takes the kids from my son she will not get them either. It's already documented that she is NOT to ever have custody of them, yet CPS takes her calls and continually harrasses my son. Her way of retaliating against him. I can only wonder if there are laws against this form of harrassment and what kind of money would it take to get her to either stop or be jailed for the injustice she does to her own children at the hands of a corrupt system?

I need help. In February, 2008, I was arrested for child abuse. My 16-year old son (6'0 tall) called me a fu%%ing bitch. I slapped his mouth, he then took my shoulders and threw me to the floor. I called the police to have him removed from the house, but they insisted I call a family member to come get him. I called his father.
His father is $58,000 behind on child support, and at that time only had visitation per my supervision (public place) for 2 hours each week, due to his drinking and drug use- and being caught for lying to the court about what he'd put the kids through. I have three kids by him.
Shortly after my son was picked up by his father and Aunt ( father has no driving privaleges for many years yet), State police came to my home and arrested me.
I plead guilty as a plea bargain so the event would stay non-public, and I was put on probation for 6 months.
In April, I took my children to a hotel (a yearly tradition for them to swim). I had drank vodka before going to the hospital (there was no walk-in clinic in town) to have them checked for lice, as I was told I had it a few days before that.
The hospital staff said I probably should not drive, so I voluntarily handed my keys over, yet they initiated a call to police. The police did not arrest me, and they even gave us a ride back to the hotel.
I called my ex-husband and asked if he could help me get a ride back to my house. I realized I would be better off taking public transportation, and told him to forget it.
Several hours after arriving home, child protective services came to investigate. The next day, they removed my children from my home, and I was arrested a few days later when I arrived for an appointment I had set with the probation officer to explain my contact with the police.
Child protective services removed the children on a basis that "I was hallucinating about bugs, convincing the children they had them; driving drunk with the kids, and other"
My ex-husband has been secretly (no taxes, or income to prove) working for his sister for the last two years. She owns two houses on a small farm, one which my ex lives in- all bills paid by her, for compensating his labor.The sister volunteered to be the relative foster parent. Now my children are with him full-time (secretly- cause it isn't ordered that way, just not provable).
He abused me for many years before I finally ended up in a homeless shelter with the kids. Now he has his support lowered to almost non-existent payments, which he only pays when a show-cause hearing comes up- generall 4 times a year, approx $2000 yearly. He hired (or his sister did) an attorney to say he no longer makes $20 an hour, he is only part-time minimum wage. He has avoided taxes (NEVER has paid!!) and the lawyer recently documented this was due to alcoholism!
I'm stuck...and scared, and victimized just as I have been for the past 16 years of being a parent to his children which he gladly uses as an outlet for his abusive nature toward me.
I have a court appointed attorney, and a trial date tomorrow for assuming just cause for the children's removal. The attorney (Stacey Rentfrow) says it doesn't take much for the court to decide to keep them wards of the state...and she thinks they have enough. I really don't know what to do.

Yes I too am involved with a CPS case on false allegations. I had no idea that this organization was above the law. They lie,you are guilty until proven innocent, not innocent until proven guilty. I am so glad a friend I have, told me about this web-site. Even though you are not a in person organization or can speak to some-one, YOU ARE THERE FOR ALL OF US! Your knowledge is a great tool for all of us. I do understand fully why you could not talk to each and everyone of us. I am so greatful for this site. WE CAN COMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER THROUGH THIS SITE. TELL OUR STORIES AND SEE THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE. All of your children have become a victim of the worse of the worst abuse there is Child Protective Service. They protect your child to DEATH in some cases and in others they turn a blind eye. They remove children that are not in danger and leave behind the ones that are. This AGENCY HAS TO BE STOPPED FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN!!!

It is my wish that cps be done away with. now reality- look at the 6Th amendment of the constitution, if it were revised to include civil case as well? it would end much confusion on false and unproven accusations or allegations. how do you prove innocents if you don't know where to start? are all of our rights really gone? this sadness me so much. I am a mother of three wonderful boys 7 yr, 6 yr, 3yr. All of my children were removed from school and day care April 18, 07.after a long struggle returned home DEC 15, 07. many say oh you're lucky and yes I truly am!! against the recommendations of cps my boys are home my next court date in June,08. I hope to have our case resolved. as a military family my husband is being demoted due to family hardships. he has been on deployment for 6 months, upon returning home he will not be allowed to live in him home, see his children freely, and forced to re due all classes and services he did before the deployment. none of the accusations have been founded. I am considering resending my signatures from ever thing and seeing where it takes us? is this wise if I have the possibility of having the case dismissed of course against the recommendations of cps.

Hello, im studying to be a dental student. My aunt is constantly calling cps and saying im doing drugs four months ago i was forced to take a drug test. They will not tell me who is doing this because they have rights I know its my aunt she does'nt like the fact that i live with my grandparents she very jealous that my grandfather gives me money. She wants to declare my grandparents incompetent so they can be placed in a nursing home and sell the house and get access to my grandparents money. I don't not mind taking drug test but I would like to sue here for making false alligations or if its at all possible get a restraining order im sick of dropping work to ask questions when there a waste of cps time. If anyone has any good advice please reply this scares me

I too, am among the many thousands of people trying to get family members out of the clutches of CPS/DCS. I have been fighting California for 4 years now trying to get 3 of my nieces, there was a fourth, but she went AWOL and fled the state to be with me in 2006. It seems the only way to get out of the system is to run!! Please visit my lense to read my story, I hope you'll be able to find it, it is new "Foster Care and Department of Children's Services separating families" or http://www.squidoo.com/FosterCareandDCSseparatingFamilies Thanks and God Bless all of you that are missing kids!

My husband and I have just had our first run in with DYFS. This is a real nightmare. We are in the process of trying to retain an attorney. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail us back. We still have our children (3 Teenagers w/good grades and doing well). We want to keep it this way.
