Videos about fighting CPS

This page holds videos about Child Protective Services (CPS) abuse in the United States of America. Here you'll see families being broken apart, destroyed, traumatized and tortured by USA child protection agencies and CPS social workers. These are stories about families in pain, family rights, and CPS cruelty to children and their families.

A basic building block of a strong civilization is the family. Put millions of strong families together and you'll have a nation of well-balanced adults that are sustained with love at home and able to blossom as citizens in a commonwealth, working for the highest good for all.

Unfortunately, America is currently shooting itself in the foot, traumatizing small children and their parents by separating them forcefully through corrupt child welfare practices. Families experiencing temporary difficulties could be helped and strengthened, but instead child welfare agents are tearing families apart and even decimating them permanently using Termination of Parental Rights legal proceedings. Children are then farmed out to adopters who receive adoption subsidy money, and if they adopt enough children out, the states receive federal bounty payments per child.

Child welfare agents do this, claiming all the while that they are 'helping children' who end up permanently traumatized. The children are then given medications and become addicted to psychotropic drugs that keep them in line so substitute adult caretakers can handle them.

In other words, folks... AMERICAN CHILD WELFARE IS A SCAM!!! Very few of the children caught up in the system really need to be 'protected' from their parents.

Tacoma Washington Police Invade Winona Sully's Home and Take Her Children

...they didn't have a warrant!

Winona Sully said they couldn't come in. They did anyway, and they took her children. Listen to the child tell these officers to treat his mother with more respect!

I'd like to have these officer's names so I could write to them and tell them what I think of their gestapo tactics.

The persecution of Anne Frank's family started with a home invasion aimed at kidnapping the oldest daughter. You can see the same thing is happening now in our country.

Blatant totalitarianism at work.

Texas CPS Takes an Infant

...no warrant, no abuse took place.... just CPS cruelty at work.

Texas CPS gives a good example of how to be cruel to families by kidnapping a child at birth. The parents did nothing wrong. No child abuse or neglect took place. This is SO TYPICAL of how CPS works. How can this social services caseworker go home at night and sleep? She should be ashamed for taking part in this travesty of justice.

Mass CPS Corruption

...Target 32 Investigates.

In Kentucky wide-spread corruption is exposed by CPS victim Linda Roberts whose children were taken from her by the best friend of the temporary custodian's mother-in-law. The county that originally took them from her hid exculpatory evidence and forwarded only paperwork with accusations against her. Linda Roberts gave a copy of the juvenile court tape to her local news station so that the corruption would be publicly known. Though social workers were ostensibly on her side, the judge ruled against her because of unsubstantiated allegations and reasonable supervision of her children by her older teenage child under emergency circumstances.

More Mass CPS Corruption

...former CPS social workers speak out.

Shocking revelations from former CPS social workers who were dismayed by the corruption and retaliatory practices within the child "protection" system. In one case, a woman saw a poor family and coveted the children. At her request, the family was investigated and the children were given to her. In another case, a woman was retaliated against by having her relatives' children taken, and then her attorney's child taken.

Parent Jailed For Protecting Her Children

...she tried to keep them safe from CPS child abuse in foster homes.

This mother concealed her children from CPS, and was arrested, but she's got good reason. The last time the social welfare agents took her child, he was abused in a foster home. A good mother tries to keep her children safe. Because she tried to help the jailed mother, another young mother was threatened with CPS abuse, and was under investigation by them at the time of this filming. They did the best thing ever - they talked to the media. Good work! I'd love to know the outcome of this situation.

Shredded Society: States Earn Bonuses & Rewards For Taking Children Away From Their Parents

This loving mother reveals the truth about what happened to her family. Though she's good enough to keep two children, one daughter was taken on false charges and held captive in foster care until the state could terminate her parental rights on the basis that they'd already broken the mother-daughter bond, which in itself is an obvious lie.

mary says:

yes they do .....from experience i deff know the whole"jump like a monkey dance" heart braking really people have gone to such extreams for a bigger title and fatter wallets ....my children are trautized and forced to comply with things a child should not have to even question so early in life.not to mention they use the good cop bad cop with these kids to drill info about another ..and use them as there personal undercover detectives ....when does this stop?when do we get to live are lives and stop looking over are shoulders when funding gets low?

mikeyesfan says:

My girlfriend ended up in jail due to missing court for a battery charge done when she was at her mom's where she stays and throw some objects. The neighbors called the police they came out and took my girlfriend away last November 2010. I went to the juvenile court system with my girlfriend still in jail and they went to take me off the case asking for a birth certificate.

I live to far from the city to get it due to that being in the next county and I have a vision problem legally blind. I had to use the internet and got it, but not fast enough for the judge she only gave me 3 working days because it was over the weekend. They made charges against her mom where the baby was staying and got taken away saying she is an alcoholic with no evidence that is the case. I think it was to find a reason to take him away this place is bad they do far more harm then good. And all the charges they have is hearsay charges from neighbors that means if you make a neighbor mad they can charge you for abusing the baby.

Ben There says:

Most definitely yes! Children and Youth Services in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania need to be investigated. The 'social workers' are buddy-buddy with the lawyers, and more than likely with Family Court as well. A neighboring county, Luzerne, has been or is under investigation. Something needs to be done. They need to be stopped. $$$$$

loving mother says:

my son is not the same since he's been stolen from me by nevada county cps. Abolish this terrible agency. My son has never been abused. Except by the hands of cps. Until every child returns home pray hard.

Sophia Drake says:

Anyone can call cps with false allegations against you.. Cps doesn't investigate. they just type up the allegations as truth and put it in a folder and use it against you later. Only then they call it your past history. Nobody believes that the state takes children for money until it happens to them and only then do they believe. Live and learn.. Until you see with your own eyes as my family did. We lost my granddaughter.We will never see her again because we cant fight. An innocent mother cries for her child. A baby cries for her mother... My family torn apart... and still nobody believes. It's like talking to a wall and praying that someday everything will change for the better.

Sophia Drake says:

Wake up people... this is really happening! This is not a joke! I use to think as all you do.. that they must have done something to warrant cps taking their kids so don't wine to me about it! Then it happened to my granddaughter! The state of Texas took her and she is still in foster care.We haven't seen her in fifteen months.They terminated my daughter's parental rights based on false allegations of child abuse.We are poor and couldn't afford an expert medical witness to testify on our behalf therefore we couldn't use any of the medical evidence we had to prove no abuse occurred.We still have the evidence to prove abuse never occurred but what good does it do when you cant get back into court to use it? The courts will not accept it. We want to appeal but don't have thousands of dollars and sometimes appeals take up to seven years. They took her without a signed court order from a judge and the police let them do it!

Pearl6570 says:

Would any news media be interested in doing a story on Child Protection Services corruption within the United States.? I live in Sumner County, Tennessee. Child and Protective Services has presented to the courts false whiteness testimony from so called interviews with my daughter. This information will be used against me in court. Child and Protective Services has used evidence fabrication by reporting to the judge threw case files, that I am stalking my own attorney, the CPS staff, and the foster mother, when in fact I have not!

This is happening across America and needs to be stopped. The lying in courts, and coercing children’s testimony in written documents and forensic tapes, in order to allow courts to have children removed from their parent’s custody, needs to be stopped! I know MSNBC did a Documentary called Which Hunt that exposed some of this, but was said to be a problem twenty years ago, it is still going on today!

This is what Senator Nancy Schaefer fought against before she died. She tried to shut them down all together. This is corruption at its highest level and should not be accepted here in America! Is there nothing that anyone can do? To stand by and watch the injustices done to children and families is reprehensible.

jeannie says:

my name is jeannie they took my kids today and they are 2 5 and 9 months old and a 4 year old. they took my kids for no reason and i get to see my kids 1 every week for 2 hours they are mad because i beat them the 1st time in court i will be going to court in a couple of days and im going to fight cps is no better then any one they hurt the kids they rape them plez pray i get my kids back thank u all and god bless

diane says:

they are definitely sickening and unfortunately, far too many people fear them before knowing their rights just as I did. doesn't matter your age. my child had a very high IQ with poor social skills issues and was extremely violent and out of control. counseling and therapy wasn't enough so I reached out for help and they convinced me he would do well in placement. this was stated by the judge himself. well, needless to say, he did worse and cps blamed me for it. had 3 children but only one out of control. now have grandchildren and they are using the fact that cps labelled me in a horrific way, put me on the registrar which I was able to get expunged, but didn't even know I was on the registrar til years later and now it appears there are no attorneys in NY State who will fight to sue cps in Federal Court. What are all of those people suffering supposed to do? Now every innocent person on that list has to suffer with grandchildren too? So disgusting. I'm so tired of it all and am so disgusted. My children are upset too and submitted letters to the state (not at my request) but apparently they must have just thrown them away. So hate NY State now and don't trust anyone anymore.

Barbara says:

In the majority of cases I would say probably YES.

debrah martinez says:

YES IM A MOM THAT HAS TO FIGHT FOR MY KIDS I HAD MY KIDS MOVED 6-1-2011 I HAD 2 CLEAN DRUG TEST THEY FOUND NOTHING IN MY HOME. I WENT TO UPPER MANGMENT BECAUSE I DID THE CPS WORKER AND SUPERVISER CALL ME AND NOW TAKEING ME TO COURT WITH LIES ALL I CAN SAY IM GOING TO FIGHT

LindaJM says:

I would love to interview you via telephone about what's going on in that case, Kyle. I would want you to be anonymous. Let me know if you're interested in telling the world about what's going on ... email me at webmaster-at-fightcps.com

kyle says:

Me and my girlfriend are fighting against cps right now. They are labeling me as a sex offender for no reason. They are taking her liberty away from her by making her stay in the house all the time shes not allowed to go anywhere they said. They also take away her phone for no reason their depriving her of her property. They are breaking the constitution. they are corrupt and need to be stoped.

Sheri says:

Yes! My children have been traumatized just from CPS overzealous interrogation...er... "interviewing". CPS participated in assisting my stepdaughter's father to KIDNAP her. CPS workers have shown extreme dishonesty, manipulation, and hysteria... frightening behavior, outright lies, false positive drug results (immediately disproven by a hair follicle test that they REFUSED to consider), threatened the children, illegal search, you name it. My oldest son doesn't even want to have children of is own, because he has been so traumatized by CPS involvement that stemmed SOLELY from anonymous phone call by a pissed off neighbor/ex friend.

JEFF NOVASCONE says:

YES

Melinda Bocook says:

yes CPS hurt us more then they help. They destroy every child and family that comes into their path, Cps is the communist of our Americans. Cps is the killers of our new world and our kids. They get to lie in our courts and the judges listen to them. The parents don't ever get to talk. It all the cps that gets to talk, when they take the kids to foster care they take them to who ever they want and they don't check them out, they take our kids to rapist and people who will hurt them or end up killing them, get on the site www.fightcps.com And we are having a nation wide protest on 8/12/2011 please look us up. www.govabuse.org

newt says:

CPS is simply a coordinating agency to wrongly withhold children for the purpose of money

Rachelle says:

My daughter was taken from me three weeks ago on the grounds that I'm depressed. I recently lost my mother, and yes I was depressed, but my daughter was still fed, changed, and loved no matter what. They told me that they will have custody for six months, and made me out to look like a piece of trash. They abuse their authority and prey on the weak. CPS needs to be shut down so that children can be safe WITH THEIR OWN PARENTS.

Nana says:

CPS does more harm than good. We are currently under investigation. My grandbaby was returned to us from her father with bruises. We immediately called the police and took the baby to the hospital. Two days later, CPS came and took the baby from my house. They have never talked to the father has he is avoiding them, he never showed up for court, and they have no plans to ever talk to him. They are holding my daugther responsible for the abuse even though she did nothing but try to get medical attention for her daughter and make sure that this never happened to her again. I am disgusted with CPS.

Debra Titus says:

Penna. CYS system is the most corrupt orgazination I and my family have ever seen. We are still fighting to get child back after 10 months. This agency has emotionally damaged these children more than any parent could in a lifetime.

Anthony Peterson says:

CPS in NY made a complaint of a sexual nature against me during the impending death of my sister while her chilren were in my care. A subsequent hearing found my not guilty with no mention of the complaint in court records. Now I'm trying to find out how this complaint was made and why the NY State Registry didnt expunge the record. The state registry can't find (or do want to find) the complaint.

Tami says:

YES

a worried family says:

Were Pleading For Our Family!!!!!!!
My name is Amy and I am of one of several people in my family pleading for someone to help us standup to the most neglectful government funded family services. I am astonished at the thought that we actually pay these CPS workers our hard earned tax money when they are the most negative, neglectful, uncaring, ignorant etc.... organization I have ever met. I'm further astonished that they are protected by our own government and I do believe CPS is suppose to protect our children but yet we are handing them over to the same crap that they're supposedly protecting them from. Now down to the main part of my despair.
I unfortunately have 2 nephews Jason and Angel who have been in CPS custody for almost 5 years now. Unfortunately my brother and his ex-girlfriend made wrong decisions in the past which has cost all of them heartache. My brother went to prison at a young age leaving his boys in the hands of a psychopathic mom. There mom is bipolar and is not medicated by a Dr. but self medicates with weed and meth. Which is how this all started. She was dumb enough to stay high on meth while pregnant with my nephew Jason which has severe behavior issues which I believe stem from her own emotional problems and from the meth. No matter what we did or said we were all ignorant and she knew best of course. After he was born he cried a lot which we were told by a Dr. that it was because of being a crack baby. Jason has suffered more then any of the children being he is the oldest. Shortly after having Jason she became pregnant with Angel who has good behavior but severe emotional terrors.
When my brother went to prison our family stepped up to make sure that Jason, Angel and their mom were taking care of but it became very difficult for all of us because she would disappear for days and be high as you could get when she came back. Most of the time they would be with my mother thank god. But overtime it got very bad to where she got violent with my mother which at that time my mother was in her late 50's which is ridiculous. But my fear was if she could do that to an adult what could she do to my nephews. I can still hear her yelling at my nephews even when they were just born because they were hungry. My mom told me the kids would only get bottles all day until she returned home from work and then she would feed them their baby food. She would try to be cordial but we were beyond that. She then took our nephews from us after the incident with my mother and they vanished for a couple months but then that phone call came at my work, and its always my work the one # that never changes. Then she dumps them and off she goes. It got to the point she didn’t want Jason anymore so we flew him out to my mom in Missouri where we are actually from. He resided out there until she all the sudden wanted to play mom again. But there was nothing we could do to stop her. So we brought him back but my mother came back too but unknown to anybody. She lasted a week and called screaming I cant take this come get him. So at 11 pm I went and got Jason but never Angel because she swore he wasn’t part of our family. I took Jason home and he looked like an orphan poor little thing. So I stopped and bought him clothes and shoes and took him home. But to my deepest fears I found signs of abuse on him. He had the deepest and longest cuts across his chest from finger nails it was disturbing. We went straight to the hospital and made a police report and I filed emergency custody papers. We actually got in rather quickly with a family rebuilding group and to my astonishment I was ordered to return my nephew to her without her even being investigated. They were just going to do family monitoring unless they seen signs of distress. Oh and drug test which I think in total she did 10 over the entire duration.
We were asked by her family to keep our damn nose out of their business and stay away from Jason and Angel cause how dare I say that about her. Well low and behold she suddenly disappeared and the children were put in the custody of her sister and that didn’t last long either. I received a phone call at 1 or 2 in the morning to come get them she was done too. I asked her where and she told me to meet her at 8 am at their moms. So I did. To my surprise it wasn’t her sister it was their mother who had vanished weeks ago. She asked me to take Jason and leave Angel because her mother was going to keep him. Once again a lie I had to get Angel less than an hour later. I received both boys in diapers and t-shirts. There was nothing else no clothes, no shoes, bottles, diapers, absolutely nothing. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!
My nephews are hard to handle and unfortunately at the time my other half was gone and I had 3 young children plus pregnant in my home already. And unfortunately I'm not proud to say this but I could not do it. Which is one of the few things I regret in my life because I am an awesome mother and I stop at nothing to make sure my family is okay. They then were separated into foster care. The family that took care of Angel were awesome and I thank them with all my heart for their unconditional love and caring for him. But after all the hearings and bs and more bs my nephews were falling between the cracks constantly. CPS was taken months to do anything. Even the judge was getting irritated with them. Jason was moved with a friend of her family that was supposedly Angels grandparents which was where their mother wanted them both to be placed and we agreed due to the fact I could not get them back because of the responsibility I already had and my mother's health was not good. Then not to my surprise after waiting on DNA for over a year Jason and Angel were both my brothers sons which he was ecstatic and unfortunately still in prison. But through it all he was at every court hearing though by phone he told them when he got out he would do whatever he had to. So that his boys would have their father. We have made several complaints by phone, hotline, emails about the abuse physically and mentally that my nephews are still sustaining being in the custody of the foster parents. The biological mother was stripped of her rights completely its not something you can just undo. In which it states she may not have any contact with either boys whether its by phone, mail, or in person. But yet the foster parents let her take my nephews by herself and sometimes her and her husband and their step-sister. Oh believe me she hasn’t changed she still gets high and they have domestic disturbances on a weekly bases and CPS was suppose to take the little girl but some how that got lost to???? You can always tell when they have seen her because their demeanor is unbelievable!!! Their cussing, using slang words, acting as if their gang bangers. But they are boys and some things can be over looked but when it’s a habitual act every time they see her something needs to be done but once again good ole CPS caseworker says oh its okay as long as the foster parents are their. Well GUESS WHAT SHERYL BURKE THEY'RE NOT!!!!! Answer me this what are you going to do if she snaps on one of them????? Are you going to have the balls to face our family and say I'm sorry your son, nephew, grandson is gone cause I cant do my job........ I don’t think so. My advice to the caseworker is to find another job maybe picking up trash or something before you cost somebody their one thing that’s worth living for.
Further more my brother has returned home and has changed his life completely. Which I would definitely like to gloat about. He has finished his parole, took all of his classes including all parenting classes. Did his drug tests I think he missed one because he was on a delivery in Tucson. He is engaged to a awesome woman who has stood beside him and fought just as hard as him to get his sons. They also have a daughter who is 13. They wasted no time in family pictures and becoming a family through their visits and you see the emotion between the 5 of them they are content and finally complete..... But to our astonishment the boys were suppose to already be living in their home with them got a phone call yesterday from the caseworker that they were not allowed to pick up their sons from daycare. They were being investigated and they would be contacted by an investigator. Though the caseworker sat there and lied (which she is a pro at) to my brother that she had no idea what was going on just for them to wait. If you’ve felt that agony then you understand exactly what they felt and then oh my how my nephews felt asking for their daddy and mommy and sister. But I am not one to sit still and wait and neither is my brother and soon to be sister. We rolled that ball so fast I think we woke up half of Phx. I am well known to the CPS caseworkers so well they beg them not to invite me because we pay you to protect our children but yet you are doing the most abuse of all. My brother is being investigated for Physical Abuse because his son returned to foster care with some bruises. Which if anybody would of asked were explainable!!!!!!! But nope the foster dad called the caseworker which told them to call the cops and my nephew was questioned and I know these people very well that they probably threatened them. If anybody wants Jason to talk and tell the truth and if you really new my nephews they will only talk and tell all secrets to one person and that is me the one person that always rescued them and protected them from these evil money hungry slackers that call yourself parents. Well here's a well known fact that through all of this there has been accusations on top of accusations against the foster parents and their daughter whom lives in the home. All of them pertaining to the exact same thing smoking weed in the house, selling weed, spanking with the belt several times, slamming their heads into the wall when being put in time out and the fact my nephew has sexual aggression as well and then calling my nephews LIL NIGGERS. Well CPS you definitely have nerve to investigate my brother and his fiancé. But will do nothing to protect them from the dangers they are in now. Sheryl Burke I will have your job by the end of March no matter if I have to call the President himself. You are a disgrace to your profession. I myself could do a lot better job in my spare time with no pay then you could even imagine and there was never a reason to dread me coming to any court or reunification process. You dreaded me because I demanded you do your job. Well you have hurt enough children already its time to put a stop to all of you neglectful CPS workers who are only worried about meeting a quota. Really can your conscience really live with that. Mine sure couldn’t. My one last quote for the foster family and the biological mom. You do not understand the concept between being a mom & dad and being a mother & a father. Anybody can be mom & dad but it takes a hell of a person to be a mother & father. You all had your chance and failed well guess what Jason and Angel's mother, father, and sister are waiting for them. I pray to the lord you will hear my prayers and the prayers of my family and we love you Jason and Angel...... Thank You Auntie Amy & Family

A Hoffmann says:

CPS is the most corrupt organization I have ever come in contact with. They lie, kidnap children and destroy families, and we, as taxpayers, are funding them. To say that a massive overhaul of the entire system is needed is a gross understatment. Everyone needs to know their rights because no family is safe.

Jessica says:

The Make to much Harm Its To Much

CPS ARE COMMIES says:

We live in a Communist country now! we are not free, we are guilty until proven inocent and we do not own our own kids anymore. CPS ruins families. all for money

A broken hearted loving Mommy says:

I say to lil miss CPS "punkin1976" to put down the joint shes smoking...Let the smoke clear and realize essentialy, every CPS worker including herself is not "Protecting & Serving Our Children" as they should...They lie, most do not have children of their own, which makes sense (I mean what normal loving person would want to be with anyone who "gets off" on ruining and literally ripping out our children's & parents hearts for some bonus money)
EVERY CPS worker needs to be behind bars. They all need to take a little phsychological eval or better yet-their the ones who should have their children taken from them. After all CPS does no good whatsoever, we'd be doing this world a favor---if only we took their kids.
Heres what a CPS worker job description sounds like. "Hrmmm oh heres a young nice-looking couple, they just rushed their 6 month old baby to the hospital (because they love this baby more than life itself) so lets make up some false allegations, lie about something so absurd it doesnt even sound real, then make them take a ton of classes which us tax payers pay for...In the end, we get their kids and they can live their life in pure tortue. Knowing their kids are out in the world some place else with some of the worst kinds of "foster" families...Yeah these poor parents who love and care for their 1st and only baby can spend thousands and thousands of dollars. They can cry every night. They can feel like hell forever because as a CPS worker our job is to make sure the kids are never truly loved again, as we CPS, are nothing more than lying heartless corrupt whackos, who truly need to be put to sleep.

Thats what this Mommy has to say. I am sure any other Mom if had the chance to spend three days with CPS after false accusations, they would be in shock realizing really, how horrible these maggots are. Thank you and good luck to all of us fighting the scum, we know our innocence and never give up.

eversaige says:

They are ripping families apart. They took my son from me for citing that I was not force feeding him solids. They did not have a warrant to remove him from my property and they tried to have me hospitalized stating that I was a mentally insane and a danger to my son. They did not have me evaluated by a mental professional before removing him. I got my charges today and after reading thru them, half of them were made up or warped versions of what I had had told the cps worker or other case workers in my life. And some of the charges were things like "she hears voices and sounds of babies crying. when we talked on the phone and her stating that her son was crying there was no crying in the background." I never once called her when my son was crying. They took my diagnosis and used it to make things up about me and warp my wards and things that were happening. This is from the horses mouth. I am not lying to you right now. The only thing I did wrong was not take my medication. That was my only mistake. And I had no reason to take it. I made the mistake of telling the CPS worker about the medications and my mental disorders. That was all. After that she had ammunition.

karen says:

cps is way out of control. they say their there to protect and whats the best interest of the child yea what about all the trama that the drag the children through and rip children away from their parents. what bout all the times cps has to rip my two year old baby out of my arms after every visit scraming and crying mommy no'' mommy mommy' why mommy no i stay with you''. the case has been going on since april 2010 and i have been to hell and back and jumped through fire rings and cps is now tryin to terminate my rights and adopt my babies out. all the allegations are false and they never even investigated to see that they were false and cps has made lies that werent even close to being true and becuase of it i havent seen my babies in three months. so lets talk bout how cps is tramatizing my babies. they are breakin my two babies hearts and its killing me. i just want my babies. i miss them more than anything.

betty collins says:

yes the workers and their contracters they pay do a lot of harm. This people teach our children to not trust any one and how grow ups lie. They go has far has telling children that their family member that they pulled them from doe-not love them any more and does-not want them this is what the workers and contracter they had told my children before I fought and got them back

theresa says:

cps took my grandkids from there mom than they said us the (GRANDPARENTS) could keep them we went to a placement meeting held by cps and the mother got mad at us(GRANDPARENTS) for telling the truth about her neglect and yes it was provin,so she mom, said we (GRANDPARENTS)abused the 14 mo old twins so cps took them from us. cps has lied to us from the start PLZ STOP THESE MONSTERS , they are hurting loving GRANDPARENTS who love these children unconditonally WHY????

sue says:

CPS are monsters that steal , kill, abuse ,and moleste, and drug children, for federal and state dollars. They need to be done the same to in every state. Vigilante justice is coming. The police, F.B.I. Judges, attorney's,ad litums and others are in on it. The laws are corrupt.

from New York says:

yes i believe they do more harm then good they want everything to be prefect and there is no one in the world that is and some of these people don't have kids so how can some one tell you how to raise yours when they know nothing book textbook work of taking care of kids and those books are wrong sometimes and that is that person choice to raise that child that way haven't tha taken enough rights away from us and why do they need to imbrese the child at there schools by going and not had a parent or gaudiane there when they are spoken to them how do we know what is really being said and by who and they are safe to be with are kids we don't know anything about them or there back round but they can digg in ours what wrong with this world it's come down to we have no rights at all i would let to know what right we do have to protect us from these people so ours kids will grow up safe how can they do what they do it is just so wrong and how can they sleep at night knowing they are doing wrong by these kids and parents

Kristin says:

My child was taken over a year ago based on a hearsay of an offhand remark I made when my child was not around. There has never been a court order. They just knocked on my door and said I could not keep my son because I was poor and depressed. I was depressed because I had no money. It amazes me that they can take a child with no proof of anything. They just told me today that he can come home. All of the caseworkers I have been assigned have been incompetent. They care nothing at all for families or children. They assume that if you are struggling financially you must be a bad parent.

m says:

Hail Damascus, run your road, after every step they take
Blaze the sun upon their trail and stops their plans that lay ahead
When they ride upon theri horse, strike them down so they don't see
Do not let them run their course against these families

JustOneGuy says:

I think it does more harm than good. If you want to see why it has become so all pervasive, watch the interview with Aaron Russo on YouTube. The full interview. In that interview, Russo speaks about a conversation he had with one of the Rockefellers who asked him, "Tell me what you think about the Women's Lib movement". He responded by saying something like, "It was to give equal pay for equal work to women and to treat women fairly". Rockefeller laughed and called him an idiot. The real reason, Rockefeller said, was to tax the other half of the population and to separate the children from their parents. Rockefeller said that his foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, was the instigator of and financed the Women's Lib movement - so he ought to know the reasons for it.
The predators have taken our children from us and the CPS is just the latest incarnation of man's inhumanity to man.

LEATHA MARTIN says:

they placed me and my sister in a molesters home where we were molested for 3 years and when our silence broke out cps was covering there asses the man who molested us got away scott clean because it would had been BAD BAD NEWS FOR CPS if that info got in the wrong hands

pissed-off parrent says:

HELL YESS!!!!!

Melissa Pinckney says:

Hell yes they do last Monday they came and ripped my grandson from his sleep and removed him and his siter and had no clear reasoning to do so, he has never been away from my care and the emotional and mental trauma they have done is wrong. I still have not been to visit him and a preliminary hearing has been set but they have 24 hours to notify us of time, date and location and it has been 72 hours and counting. If we miss this hearing due to lack of knowledge we will forever lose both, but it then would be their word against ours such as it has been since they first entered our lives. I believe this needs to stop and soon for if I lose my grandkids over a disgruntled individuals false allegations there are going to be more problems then what the state of AZ will want to handle. they never even asked to place them with family or friends first and they state that they believe in family preservation well I believe they meant to say FAMILY DESTRUCTION.

Steven says:

Well lets see. My wife and I are still fighting CPS, the say my wife is a diffrent person that had lost a child to the state and the I have a page or 2 of DV's. We proved my wife was not that person and I did not have DV's and other things. Now that I am back after a 6 months long in a small room vist. CPS says they made a mistake but wont give me those documents and the lawyer I had refuses to give them to me aswell.. Yes a nightmare. CPS needs to have someone over there shoulders and be trained to read there own reports. Still fighting for our rights and trying to get help...

momfightingcpsfor4 says:

still fighing to get my kids back.....i wanted to say thankyou to the main author on here for posting this page it has been sooo helpful to me....if we all stick toghter we can fight the system and get help for the trully needy families out there and cps will haveta back down and leave inncoent families alone or at least not remove thier kids without cause

hurting mommy says:

my son was removed and given to his father---my abuser. cps violated it's own policies and has caused so much emotional trauma for both myself and my son

donna says:

Thanks for your video...cps is a vile overempowered corrupt tyrant that needs to be brought down....they kidnapped my beautiful 3 children 3 mopnths ago

cindi moore says:

cps does nothing but destory familes. they took my 3 kids away for neglect supervision.becuase i was at there grandpas house.they took 64 kids from their homes on feburary 17 2010 here in coleman texas.all the case workers are lesbians and have no children of there own so how do they know what it is like to have your kids taken away for no reason.

Kimberly Armstrong says:

The same thing has happen to me as all the rest. 5 years ago i put my 2 girls in the juvinile system to scare them straight, ware they would come home and say ... Mommy we learned our lession we will mind. This is what i was thinking, i had no idea the CPS was the wat they were untill they wouldnt give me back my kids, and when they did , it was on trial bases which lasted 2 months and they again kept them, this time for the longest. so in 5 years ,i had them 2 months. my longest ,they put on some much meds , she was toxic,and 14 years old. Her behavior is very bad now and ,she cuts on herself trying to commit sucide, I belive its from her meds that is doing it to her. She also saysshe does this thinking it will get her closer to home. What frightens me is she will do this and actually get the job done before i can get her home. Her arm is so scared from all the attempts, it looks horriable, and as long as she is in residental or a foster parnet i can not get to her to help her. I long for my girls. They didnt take my boys and i raised them just fine. They are out on thier own, but they to miss their sisters and they cant talk about it because it is to tramatizing to them, it has affected our whole family, i dont know what to do. GOD help us our kids are being abused and emotionaly destroyed, Help us parnets to have the strenth to keep on fighting, our children need us. GOD BLESS KIM

bonnie says:

CPS does nothing but steal children and if you fight them and stand up for yourself they will only become worse. Something must be done.

BarbRad says:

In all fairness, we did have some good social workers while we were in the process of adopting our children, who were natural brother and sister. In California (or at least Ventura County) parents whose rights were being terminated were given several chances to make changes, get counseling, etc. Our children birth father wrote to the children several times a year from the state hospital he was detained in, but his own father, who had adopted one of his other sons, testified that parental rights should be terminated. The birth mother had no desire to have the children back, and had, in fact, taken them to the county herself because she said she could no longer care for them. We allowed and encouraged the children to stay in touch with the stable members of the birth family -- their half-brother and paternal grandparents. We were licensed foster parents. We had gotten our license to adopt these children, one of whom was in a foster home next door. The first time our daughter reported us to protective services, she was mad because we didn't let her visit a male friend's home instead of going to a piano recital she was supposed to be in. That night we got a good social worker who really did want to make things work and he counseled everyone separately. Also, our neighbors had foster children who had been badly burned by their birth parents, so probably should have been removed. But the social worker who came with Sarah to get her things and interrogated Jason after having me wake him from a sound sleep at 2 AM when they had said they would wait until morning, was a bad one. She did not know any more about us than what Sarah said and told us we should be ashamed of ourselves for what we'd done to her. (We hadn't done anything, but with CPS you are guilty until proven innocent.) Fortunately, Jason told her that Sarah had lied, but you can bet it wasn't in the report. We heard Jason because he spoke loudly enough so we could hear him from the next room. The social worker reworded the report. So there are both competent and incompetent social workers. We've had both.

BarbRad says:

Yes. We've also had to deal with them. We have witnessed abusive social workers who declared us guilty with no proof and did the same to foster parents next door who had done everything they should have done. In the county where we lived at that time, children had been killed in foster care in our town. Fortunately we had a good lawyer and we were able to keep our son. I wonder if our daughter might still be alive today had the state not supported her rebellion. We had adopted her at 11 and were not able, even with counseling help, to undo the damage done by her birth father. She had emotional baggage that prevented us from bonding, and when she ran away just before her 17th birthday, we did not fight her going into good foster homes (we knew the foster parents and so did she), but they could not help her either. She wound up for her last few months in a group home until she was 18. After connecting with her birth parents again and getting support from some of the more stable members of her birth family, she spent the last 14 years of her life in what became a common law marriage. At 36 she commit suicide. I wrote our story in a couple of my lenses. We have found that CPS in Ventura County in the 1990's removed older rebellious children based on their unjust accusations , but it was actually much harder for infants who really were being abused to be removed.

ferris says:

some ligt cases they do help!! but they jump the gun on some parents that deserve to have their children and rob those parent of loveing famliy time with their children.they make those parent jump through years worth of hoops and pic out trivle little things just to keep famlies torn apart.

artzilla says:

We have one child that has been for all intent and purpose been Kidnapped by the system. I am actually paying child support for a child that is NOT mine.The system is corrupt. It is making society ill, it is poisoning the very fabric of our society at it's core level, the Family.
If you have ingested something that is making you so sick you may die, you are taken to a hospital and they pump your stomach, this is done to expel and eliminate the problem.
This is what Must be done to the system. Expel and eliminate the problem.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Dawn Baker says:

I have a grandchild in fostercare at this point and the caseworker keeps adding more and more stippulations to my children to get her back. We are looking at the possibility of hiring an attorney on our own because at least one of the court appointed ones isn't doing his job.They have already put her on mood altering drugs. I don't believe for one moment that cps is helping.I also know that they are hiding information. Because my family has proven that beyond the shadow of a dout. And this is all happening in the great state of oregon. When the kids needed help all they got was their family torn apart. We found out that someone had placed my granddaughter for adoption except the judge in the county that this happened in put a stop to it when they started moving her around the same judge put a stop to that as well. But we are still hanging.

BJ says:

THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW..THEY DO WHAT EVER WITH OUT GETTING THE REAL FACTS.

Mandy says:

CPS is a joke!!! There are some that do need to be removed but with that being said they also need to work on how to improve their family situation to be united. And because CPS has the FUNDS to help do so we should find them a take advantage of them. I know of a woman right now that CPS has took her kids and they got her a car to get back and forth to work and they still have her kids...I know they help with child care I want to know what else they can do if they are giving out cars....dont let CPS run over you they are no better than us i think they are worse...what if the tables were turned on them??? I bet they wouldnt do what they do to us on their own case workers...but you better believe that God will he has the last word...we all know whats going on and God is on our side!!

Father Robert says:

it is not just that companies make money , courts make money on the classes that assign parents , foster homes make money 800.00 to 900.00 in some cases a month per child
the question becomes why young children under the age of ten are on these drugs and why the children above this age suffer even the remote possibility of of sexual abuse
I would like to see a statistic of how many children in a foster home grow up to someday foster children
we are evolving and some day this abuse will all be revealed as struggled to a similar process as witch burning
if we are noted for change this structure will change as these victims become old enough to change the system ,if it is wrong to wait that long then it is up to us to try!

Mrs H says:

Children & Youth Services in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, are doing enormous and irreparable harm to my family. There is much nepotism and cronyism in this county. Our civil rights were violated plain and simple.
I hope someone is reading this. We need help!

Cibeles says:

My life has also been ruined by this agency which
on top of it's usual incompetence is being exploited on the part of our accusers as part of a personal vendetta. If you would place my
site which I started to promote awareness, not only of my own bizarre case but of the cases of others I would greatly appreciate it. I likewise will be placing your link on my site. Together united we can overcome these injustices. My case is like something out of a movie but these things really happened to us, and are still happening to a certain extent. We have been denied true due process and our rights have been seriously hindered.

Paula says:

In my own experience they stick thier nose where it dont belong..... More harm than good, YES< DEFINATELY!!!! We are not supposed to put judgement on one another and this is what they are doing to alot of lives they dont understand... Let the people sort out thier own problems and leave the intervention to those children that really need saving!

Jim says:

Yes. The CPS employees (DCS in Tennessee) that We were forced to interact with were the type of people that I would not trust to wash a car let alone make decisions concerning the health and safety of our children. The DCS Investigator's actions was so far from sanity that I did a background check on him at our local courthouse. He is a convicted felon. 14 felony counts and approximately 4 misdemeanor convictions. After I presented this information to the State DCS Commissioner, he was alowed to resign so as to not be terminated. Also, as a result of this, the County DCS filed criminal charges against us. the battle began in 2005 and continues. Tennessee DCS has no shame or conscience. They consistently violate written laws and the constitutionally guaranteed rights of parents without fear of lawful accountability..

Brookelorren says:

Most of the time, yes. I'm sure that there are a few that are okay, but most kids need to be with their parents or close relative that loves them.

myhayies8 says:

I believe that CPS makes very haste choices on allegations and rush out to wrong addresses that dont belong to the party they are looking for,like in my situation,giving the wrong address,it seems if people know you and all about your business they should at least know where you live Da I BELIEVE WHEN ALLEGATIONS ARE PRESENTED THEY SHOULD SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME CHECKING INTO THESE PEOPLES HISTORY AND SEE IF THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THEY DO TO GET THIER KICKS. AND IF SO PROSECUTE THEM FOR FALSEFYING INFORMATION BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE THEY ARE LYING!!!!!!

LindaJM says:

Punkin, what part of "unconstitutional" do you need to understand? How much thinking does it take to realize that giving risperdal and other adult psychotropic drugs to children is wrong? So long as you think of parents as bad and CPS as flawless you'll stay in a brainwashed state of denial. Perhaps the only way you'll ever really understand is if it happens to you or someone close to you. That has a tendency to break down all false hopes and fill one with a dread of reality.

LindaJM says:

I think the videos clearly speak for themselves. There's nothing more I can add at this point. Watch the videos and expand your mind. Don't fall for government anti-parent brainwashing campaigns.

LindaJM says:

I also have to say that I've heard this platitude before: "Children are resilient, more resilient than either you or I would think." -- I heard that from a CPS social worker.

I don't believe it.

Children are scarred for life by the trauma of being torn from their families. You should know that many if not most of these devastated children are being put on psychiatric drugs to control them after being forced away from their parents. This is a well documented national tragedy.

When I think of foster children being drugged I think of Candace Elmore and California baby damaged for life by drugs given in foster care.

LindaJM says:

Punkin, I've gone to the national child abuse statistics myself and figured out the percentages on child abuse/neglect/death in foster homes vs. natural family homes - but instead of telling you how to do the math, I will direct you to this website that is a memorial for children who have died in foster care homes: Children protected to death. The statistics are posted on that page.

Also see: Study Concludes That Kids Are Better Off In Troubled Homes Than In Foster Care - a research project of Joseph Doyle Jr., an economics professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

LindaJM says:

Punkin, you would traumatize 100 children and their families for no reason? Family destruction is devastating to those involved, including the children. And how do you feel about the statistic that children are more in danger of child abuse and death in foster homes than they are in their natural family homes? Is that okay with you too?

mary menard says:

yes cps does more harm they took my grandchildren. first they told me to
give the mother her kids back and give her another chance and watch her
then if she got up and left the kids again to call then. well it was what happen
because she had a drug problem. but never hurt the kids I gave her a home
right in my on yard and it was 50 ft from my home and I also had a court order given me sole custody of one of the children. so they came out and took all my grandchildren whom I had been taken care of for almost 2 yrs and they took my baby too and said that the court order signed by a judge was not no good. so they could take her too. I have raised my two boys until they were adaults and never had a problem. now they say I don,t have rights as a grandmother. I say that they had no right to rip there little hearts in half like they are above god and above any court. I would never trust that these people could make any decision right if they tryed because grandmothers should have alot more rights to take care of there grandchildren until the parents straighten up but if they don,t atleast they would be with family who love them like I do because these kids are the best thing that ever happen to me and now I hate CPS and yes there are kids that really need help but here they had a home and cps did not have the right to take them. and there should be more laws against this abuse in cps.

lisa says:

i share this experience

Megan Lindley says:

They do more harm than good....my kids were taken and my baby that did not even have a case . now my baby is in the hospital on life support...

Pivonka says:

Yes, because my husband and I just had our daughter taken away by CPS a year ago and today my husband and I last our parental rights to our daughter,over lies that was told by friends and our oldest daughter(who was at the time 19 years old). We went to court with no attorney, we had to defended ourself but we could not speak on our behalf because the judge did not want to hear ourside of this story that our oldest daughter lies, she lies more than a politician. Now she is afraid that because her lies CPS is going to take her baby away also. We don't know what to do now, we are lonely without our youngest daughter and we feel that CPS took our daughter for no reason. Right now our daughter is my brother custody, but he has a drug problem and he and his wife have a domestic violence record. We have no records of the such of anything. So, yes CPS does more harm than good and they need to be cruched.

Terri Rote says:

CPS is the devil they should be punished and sent to prisionFederal prision that is

Shelley Miller says:

CPS workers are liars, con artist, self centered egotistical, family wrecking %*#holes. Requirements for employment with CPS are as follows:
1. Must have criminal backround
2. Able to lie and con on a moments notice
3. Just be an all around jerk
4. Have an IQ of 2
If you will notice they all meet requirements.

upset navy wife says:

I was advised to go to cps when I caught my two older children in a compromsing position and that they would help me.I filed the report and all shit broke loose.My son got jailed and my daughter sent away.My youngest is scared of cps.He thinks he's next.Did family plans,caseworker never checked my kids or talked to them.Had reports come in on me twice.one from a friend and the other from school counselor.How do I know cause we don't talk to anyone in this small town.Wanted help for my kids and got nothing but grief.I'm paying for my kids therapy cause cps wouldn't provide it even when I asked for help.I'm a navy wife whos husband is serving his country and they want to take my kids from me while he's gone.Crazy cause I went to them for help and got now.Everyone in this family is in therapy and we're changed forever.we say it's not child protection services but children permently separated.And they falsely accused us of emotional abuse and neglectful supervision.I know in my case they are of it not me.

tawnja says:

I am a mother of 2 girls, my first go round with CPS was for my oldest repeatedly running away and getting into trouble. I jumped through their hoops and closed the case in about 8mos. With their "HELP" and intervention in our family, my oldest has become at the age of 20 a product of what they said was best for her needs. She has a 3.8 grade average, has been in state care (custody) since about 12 and is currently in prison in state custody as an adult. CPS has done nothing to help my child become a positive and productive member of society. She went to school while in custody, yet got no diploma or ged for completing high school. I am again involved with CPS regarding my 16yr. old. She now isn't going to finish her sophmore year, and has been on the run for over a week. CPS is solely based on creating negative statistics for the use of the government, not for the family or the children. Our family has totally been ripped apart from all sides, and they keep finding another place to rip again!!!! While turning my good girl into a juvenile criminal. They only know HARM to the family.

ts says:

In my family, children were scoring 98 and 99 percentile on standardized academic tests before CPS got involved. Now that my son entered college after their damage, he has become so undiciplined that he dropped out of three of four courses and failed the fourth class. Now he's re-taking the fourth course, but often doesn't even go to class... What a waste! Children going through their psychiatric exploitation process designed to make them resent their families lose untold life skills they were brought up with. They could be contributing to society, but end up unmotivated and are taught to be dependent on government aid.

Brigid says:

Ya THINK? corruption indeed. uneducated idiots. disgusting,
lying, cunniving witches. they are the ones who need parenting classes. most of them are too young to understand family dynamics. even if some do understand, they need to first have "proof" that there is some sort of abuse. crazy, crazy, crazy. i cannot believe that this is america. cps needs a HUGE overhaul, and it is LONG overdue.

samantha says:

yes they do more harm then good

NetOwl104 says:

Absolutely! And the police have no idea what CPS can and can't do, so we need to educate them, too. NOBODY can violate your civil rights, not the police, and not CPS.

elissa says:

i believe we need a system because there are those kids that are being abused or who actually need it. but, we dont need this system...its supposed to be about our kids and it isnt....where was cps when the mothers of those babies killed them? im sure there were underlying problems with the parents of those babies. but, the idiot social workers are too busy taking my son who was never ever abused or neglected....not for a minute instead. they want the happy healthier kids...shit...they are alot easier to sell than the ones that have actually been abused... you know going through cps and all of their bs makes me understand why people go postal...or why parents kidnap their own child...i would guess those of us that are desperate enough to grab our kids and try to run are not these psycho people...they are parents that have done everything they could...jumped all the hoop
s and are getting nowhere . and they love their kidsw that it is worth the risk to try to escape..just on the mere chance they may get away...and if they dont the cps workers were gonna take their kids anyway and isnt that the same thing as being killed? i know i feel dead ...

robinson says:

fighting to see my two grandchildren whom I have been a part of all my life, absolutely!! They do NOT care about anyone except their stats.....

Olivia says:

In my sisters case they are doing more harm than good. Her 14 yr old was telling lies so she could live with her real dad. My sister gave into her request and gave custody to her real dad. Now CPS says she is going to lose her other three children for not taking care of her 14 yr. old. They don't return calls but now received a letter stating she will be on a sex affender list until her youngest is 28 and she has 90 days to appeal. Who is that fair and what does it mean....are they taken the kids. SS called the real dad and said he is a terrible father for standing behind his ex-wife. What right does this ss worker have speaking like that to a parent?

Faith says:

They absolutley do more harm than good. In my personal experience and through the experiences of others I have witnessed children ripped from their families for no good cause. When I was younger, I thought CPS was there to help me to protect my child. I bought into their propaganda that they were for keeping families together through education and counsel. I believed their priority was to "the family". I was naive and paid the price with the first two years of my baby girl's life. There ought to be an oversight commitee, preferrably public, not bureacratic. A unit to review or spot check cases before they get to court. Not only are children being taken away from their families, but children are also dying because they are being placed with foster parents who are, as cps seems to be, only after the almighty dollar. Re-uniting families? That hasn't been my experience with CPS. Protecting our children? Not what I experienced. Child Protective Service? No. More like Cutting off Parents and Siblings. Changes must be made.

John says:

Maybe its time for a nut case to change thier views and make them afraid of families!

a survivor says:

People, I know it's difficult but stay calm and play their game don't go against them fighting because you will loose more. Talk to your CPS worker nicely and hipocrit and say " I appreciate your concerned about my children and I thank you for looking out for protecting them. Nobody will love my children more than I do and I'm speaking with my heart open. Tell me what can I do for my children to be a good parent and give them the mother they deserved. Show me the way, I will do anything for my children. Please be my guide."

Don't sound like begging, don't sound demanding, make it sound mature and decided. Like you were admitting very mature had commited a mistake. This will change your case because if you go against them "CPS PRIDE" of being right will keep your children away...Have your enemy closer...When you finish your case "Get the heck out and move with your children far away"....

Alexandra says:

I've never agreed in the accuracy of statics of child abuse in the US. These Agencies have being improperly trained in this Country and should be revised the fact that some children had being abused and putted thru the system by "so called child protected" Agencies when big amount of children are not even real abused! I'm not saying abuse doesn't exist...All I'm saying is that these Agencies workers should be properly trained to be objective instead of subjective, monitored and followed up with what they're really doing and how. The Government should be aware of the necessity to protect these kids of bad intentioned adults who uses these hotlines without any real child abuse to damage another adult risking the lives of innocent children by creating penalties for a fake report. Also, emotional abuse should be penalized as equals as the physical abuse. Some kids are being emotionally abused and the laws in some States doesn’t recognized emotional abuse “unless is proven than a mental illness have being caused by emotional abuse” What? Who knows about psychology understands that, is extremely hard to prove considering that the kid needs protection ASAP if the emotional abuse it’s happening. In addition, some kids have being abused even more putted thru the system than the original place they were remove for abuse. All these years studying and being involved with criminal investigations had teaches me that “Crime is the government business” and that “Justice does not exist, Justice had to be made”….

So I propose this:
1. To create a Neutral/impartial Acency that doesn't work with CPS but monitors CPS during these families cases being taken by CPS. Also, that the Government give this impartial agency the power to act and press charges against any CPS worker that being discover to harm any family with unrealistic or unfair actions or decitions or requests made or request without real facts or evidence.

(primary language spanish my apology for mistakes)

KDM says:

We must remove CPS on the face of Earth. If they cant remove it then they MUST change teh policy and system. They are NOT allow to take the kids away from parents till they have FULL evidence. If anyone reported false accuse to CPS MUST be put in prison for trying to destory family and suffering!

roberta johnson says:

circleville cps is worthless they donot protect children in anyway.they take children wrongfully out of homes of single parent they never investegate and they are not being held accountable for what they do wrong.and they are taking money from the goverment everyday for taking children out of homes that dont need to be taking.circleville cps do more harm for are children and the single parents then good and i think that it is wrong that they can get away with it.

Pamela Yellowe says:

CPS would do good if it protected children who are truly being abused. However, when CPS traumatizes a family by showing up to their homes and school unannounced when there is no abuse, then CPS is doing more harm than good. The question is how do we stop loving families from being attacked by individuals who choose to make false allegations and the CPS case worker who chooses to go follow up. Questioning children who were falsely accused of being abused, traumatizes innocent families and waste tax payers money. It has to be, if not stopped, at least abated. The worse part of it, is that there is absolutely nothing the falsely accused parents can do to stop someone from falsely accusing them again and again. False accusations can be made out of jealousy, a personal vendetta, or a teenager who wants to get back at their parents because they can not have their way. Whatever the case, whenever allegations have been proven to be false, CPS should warn the offender that it is wrong (with a potential penalty) to falsely accuse someone. Then the record of this innocent family should be wiped clear.

jlatrice says:

I have been fighting CPS for 4 years and I still have not gootne my children back I had a fallout with family members that called the police on me and later that case had been dismissed but because of hear say my children have been placed with them and the judge that placed them told me that I destroyed myself by not staying in the state even with me leaving the state to be with my mother whom was a great support to the fight they have yet to prove to me that they have helped me or my children by removing them from my care they have no contact with any of there other family they have no other family besides those that have them from what i have gatherd my children need help with some emotional and mental stress from being taken from the only parents that they have ever known so how does that help?

Jenn says:

CPS took my niece and nephew out of school away from my mom without warning or a warrant... we didn't even get to see or speek with them for a whole week... finally the judge granted us 3x a week visit but after the first visit it git brought down to 1 a a week just because we told the kids not to worry that we are trying to get them to stay with me... is it wrong to give them hope when they are crying saying they want to go home.. do children not have rights..if they didn't like being at home why would they cry to go home... we see them they are wearing the same clothes and are dirty.. so the foster parents are not taking care of them... oohhh but the social workers keep saying that they checked it out and she is a really good foster home!! We live in CA.. is there anyone that can give me advice on what to do??

CRYING MOM says:

YES MORE THEN THEY UNDERSTAND I LOST MY KIDS TO CPS AND JUMPED EVERY HOOP THEY WANTED AND ITS NEVER ENOUGH I STILL DONT HAVE MY KIDS

No, CPS does more good than harm.

Concerned says:

I've heard the stories over the years and would probably have said, up until now, they do more harm. We have a family that moved here from another state to get away from CPS. They have posted many stories online as well about how they have been wronged by CPS, the state of Minnesota and their adoptive children. We've gotten to know them. They have a number of biological and adoptive children. They treat the adoptive children terribly. I don't know if there is physical abuse although it really wouldn't surprise me but we have seen many times the emotional abuse. For the first time ever, we are considering calling CPS. Somebody needs to fight for those children otherwise, I suspect, you'll hear about them on the evening news one day.

deb says:

They do infinitely more harm than good. My case is at the next level where they are after me to pay support to my false accuser. The woker (attorney) is so hateful to me and cruel, and now I feel the same way toward her! Some "social work". This I do know, that BEEEEEEP is the sort of chick who would attempt to run for Governor or something, but she'll never get my vote!! Track these abusive public officials as the destroy lives and walk all over people on their way to the top. Lots of politicians have previously been lawyers. The attorney who is attacking me started out as a process server delivering warrants I guess. She's the type to "move up" but I'll never forget that BEEEEEEP and if I catch her running for higher office I'll tell the public everything I know about that sleaze. Be careful who you step on on the way up. You just might meet them on the way down.

sharon says:

My husband and i live in va , and we too are in a fight for our four children and we can't find any help out here. We are a mixed family with white and hispanic backround, Cps gave us a service plan that we have 90 % of it done and still hold our children against thier will, So i believe cps is is not here for the family's well being!!!!!

james madison says:

good at creating work for themselves by turning innocent children into a pawn. that's what they're good for

punkin1976 says:

I have watched the videos, yet wonder what part of the story the parents aren't telling.

punkin1976 says:

I looked at the link you posted and one phrase stuck out: “…children on the margin of foster care placement have better employment, delinquency, and teen motherhood outcomes when they remain at home.”

I believe we may be talking about two different categories of abuse.

punkin1976 says:

The stories you refer me to are sad, yes, and I can't argue against the fact that there are some bad foster parents.

However, I work with the other side. I supervise visits with parents who have had their children removed. Some do not even know how to communicate with their children without being emotionally damaging. Some don't know how to change a diaper.

Some don't think they've done anything wrong... yet, when observed, or when I work with them individually, they don't have a clue about how to care for a child.

Could some of these people that flock to this page thinking that they've been wronged be those people who just can't admit that maybe, just maybe, they need some help?

The system isn't perfect, but what one is?

If you can offer suggestions on how to fix it, offer them up. If your only solution is to make CPS look like governmental bullies who do nothing other than "kidnap" children, then you're doing people who really do need help a disservice.

Some of the families I work with just need some extra resources at their disposal, and that's one of the things that CPS attempts to do, at least in Indiana.

I get to know parents, and see how they interact with their children. If I think that they're appropriate parents and have gained the skills necessary to have their children returned to them, I will fight tooth and nail and side with them, let them in on the little secrets that CPS may not tell them...

However, most of the time I see children that need to be out of the home for a period, at least until their parents get themselves together. I love to see successful reunifications, but some families just can't be fixed.

punkin1976 says:

While it would be my wish that no child would ever need to be removed from his or her home of birth (although I would be out of a job, it would certainly be a much better world), it happens, and more likely than not, they were removed for a reason.

I want to be able to trust that all parents are looking out for their children's best interests, but so often I see parents who say that they are, but they are not. I witness this first-hand, as I work with families in crisis and who have been referred through DCS for a myriad of reasons.

Children are resilient, more resilient than either you or I would think.

I would like to know where you got your statistic of more children dying in foster homes than in their own homes, and what that is based upon.

punkin1976 says:

As a Social Worker who works closely with CPS on a daily basis, this lens disturbs me.

What about the children who are not pulled and die because nothing could be substantiated, although everyone knew that something harmful was going on?

I would rather have 100 children pulled from their homes unnecessarily than have one child DIE because of fear of detaining them.

Danielle says:

whatever people...if CPS was all that bad, why when I was trying to be a vindictive teenager and said my parents were awful etc...when they came to talk to me, they found out the truth...that I was a lying vindictive teenager and my family never heard from them ever.

Not that some wrong things don't happen...I just don't believe in the conspiracy theory!!!!

Peace

hadian says:

yes they do a whole lot of more harm then good i dont see anything they do thats good at all...

LindaJM says:

Apparently not many people believe that CPS does more good than harm. I'm glad we're getting the word out there!

mary says:

H*LL Yes! insted of giving an accused "abuser" (I use that word very lightly and tongue in cheek) help in the home to turn around a "bad" situation that might or might be producing a risk of harm a CPS worker just yanks children for the federal money and then a parent most of the time fights until a Termination of parental rights hearing which most lose even in appeals courts (if the parents' appeals are not blocked like mine were). CPS was made to give families help to prevent foster care now it is used to gather as many kids for the federal incentive money.

    Would any news media be interested in doing a story on Child Protection Services corruption within the United States.? I live in Sumner County, Tennessee. Child and Protective Services has presented to the courts false whiteness testimony from so called interviews with my daughter. This information will be used against me in court. Child and Protective Services has used evidence fabrication by reporting to the judge threw case files, that I am stalking my own attorney, the CPS staff, and the foster mother, when in fact I have not!

    This is happening across America and needs to be stopped. The lying in courts, and coercing children’s testimony in written documents and forensic tapes, in order to allow courts to have children removed from their parent’s custody, needs to be stopped! I know MSNBC did a Documentary called Which Hunt that exposed some of this, but was said to be a problem twenty years ago, it is still going on today!

    This is what Senator Nancy Schaefer fought against before she died. She tried to shut them down all together. This is corruption at its highest level and should not be accepted here in America! Is there nothing that anyone can do? To stand by and watch the injustices done to children and families is reprehensible.

    Thanks for writing this. I did not realize it was so widespread and even worse in some other states than in California. Going to lensroll to Sarah: the Suicide of a Child and maybe a couple of related lenses. Police and fire officials are held accountable for their actions. Social workers aren't liable for the damage they cause, and their superiors protect them. They are conveniently on vacation or off if a lawyer wants to call one to a hearing.

    You have a poll: Yes or No -does CPS do more harm than good?
    I think the question is wrong.
    How can we protect our families and our children?
    These set ups occur because somewhere, someone, identifies a need, an injustice, etc. Unfortunately the solutions many times create a life of their own and loose sight of its real purpose: To Protect - everything else is by the way, and protection has to work for our children and our families.
    Now, I have seen tremendous injustices to many people, but have also seen horrible things done to kids. All I can say, although I doubt if the money people would agree, is that each case (and the word case should be changed to each person) should be "helped"on individual merits. In other words, not as a statistic, but as people. Finally excessive power by whomever (could be a guardian or an official) is a no-no, cause the reasoning behind any action is no longer the reason for the action, and the action becomes the reason. (I hope that makes sense)

    I wish that some of you who come to complain her would have the guts to tell your WHOLE story because I simply do not believe that DHS/CPS has to make busy work for them selves. No foster care is not the ideal place you children. So maybe think about that before you even have kids, especially if you are too needy or f 'ed up to take care of then. Babies are not toys. And unlike puppies you can't just return them to the shelter. Do make sure you can keep a roof over your kids head(s) and keep a house clean and buy food regularly. Buy diapers BEFORE beer (or crack). THINK before the next time you do dope. Or before you move a new "daddy" into your house the day after you meet him. Before you let new "daddy" babysit while you go to work. CPS does not just show up to your house because they are having a "slow day". I am sure there are false accusations, but I suspect that most off the time including some of the cases posted here there is more to the story that the family is tellin

    I will tell you the truth. My 2 children were taken from me 6 years ago because of domestic violence and drug use. i needed help and i knew it, cps didnt offer me any help they just came and took my children. i screwed up and didnt do what they wanted me to do for 3 years. my daughter was adopted out after 1 1/2 years in the system.it took me 3 years to wake up and do what they wanted me to do. i know i was wrong, i should have done something sooner.but instead i sunk deeper ino my drug use. my son was not adoptable. so he has been to sevral different boys home, placed on seraquel- all that does is knock you out. He shouldnt even be in the system. when cps came to me my son was living at my parents house, enrolled in school by my mom and all his stuff was at her house. so why did he get put in the system? i dont know. so i fianlly do what cps wants. I have been clean and sober now for 3 years in july, have a home for 2 1/2 years now and have been at my job for almost 3 years. but is my son home with me? nope. now they are telling me its because of my sons behavior. its now my son who has to do something and behave. you know what? thats b.s. let me deal with my son. now i just found some of my sons email and he is doing drugs. i told the boys home, cps worker and social worker for his house. are they doing anything about it? nope. they say they dont see any signs of it. now me and my son are haveing problems and he has learned he is old enough now to use the courts to his benefit.so i feel like im fighting another battle again by myself. a loseing battle;. there is no reason he shouldnt be at home with me. my god its been 3 years ive been liveing a clean and sober and stable life, and he still isnt home. dont know what to do or where to turn. dont want to give up. i have came to far. but it seems like im fighting a loseing battle. if anyone can suggest what i should do or where i can get help PLEASE email me. dwyatt2009@yahoo.com. thanks.

    I have had CPS called on me by my ex for vengeful purposes. Nothing came of it so far they have left me alone. I know a woman that has had 4 foster kids at a time and the time she had the 4 kids plus her own child in a parked car sleeping (I hope) while she proceeded to take off her shirt and expose herself for some drunk guys across the street, she is a married "christian" woman. I was really surprised and reminded her that her kids were in the car. She responded, they are asleep She never did anything else weird like that but she is a really young, 22 at the time, and just not mature enough for foster kids.

    My girls were kidnapped from me. The investigator failed to investigate, he threatened me into signing his "safety" plan. He told me "If you don't sign it, I'll get the judge to order it" giving me no realistic alternative. Abuse of his power, he has lied, left out exculpatory evidence, the caseworker has lied, is bias, our 4th and 14th amendment rights violated, parental rights, and children's right. Our case started because of one fight my boyfriend and I got into. It has been ruled in federal court unconstitutional to remove children solely on domestic violence, unconstitutional to force separation of children from the non offending parent, and so on!!! CPS must be stopped.

    Hello jamie, I know the heart tearing you are going through. You must hire a good private attorney (not just a court appointed attorney, after all who is paying them-they will not do more than a 9-5 job if that). Maybe you can work with an attorney on drawing up custody papers for you to have your children returned. Be careful CPS is gathering information while you are in cooperation with them. This information will be used against you later in court.

    My grandchildren have been taken from my daughter because she caught her husband molesting her daughter. What we learned since is the most horrible thing ever. He was abusing all 3 of his girls with not one person seeing signs of abuse including his family. CPS has now taken my grandchildren from my daughter saying she had knowledge and did nothing about it. She never knew this was happening and no proof of it, she is an awesome mother and it has only been a month since this has happened, the girls have been gone for just 3 wks and CPS is already trying to take all of the rights to them away from my daughter. See saw them this afternoon and my youngest granddaughter won't even talk and the oldest one is yanking her teeth out of her mouth. Courtdate is April 6th and we need all of the help we can get...any ideas please let me know!!!!! Thank you!!!

    I am trying to go through the motions of closing my case, but to be honest, I know all they want is to keep you in the system for as long as they can. I loooooovvveeee my kids to death and everyone around me will tell you...there is not a thing that I would not do for my chilldren and anyone else's. CPS has truly made me feel like the lowest person on the planet with their accusations and misleading ways. I am hurt that my children and I have to go through this, I am trying to keep faith in god that he will see me and my babies through this. ALL OF YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS....

    Regars,
    A broken family, A broken mother, and woman..

    My child has been taken from, a grand misunderstanding. I love her so much! This has been devestating. I am forbidden to even see her. She has special needs and I cared for her every need for years. If anyone can help please let me know.

    ME AND MY WIFE HAD OUR 2 GIRLS KIDNAPPED 7 YRS AGO ON A LIE MY OLDEST GIRL TOLD THEM. SHE HAS TRIED TO TELL THEM SHE LIED ABOUT IT BUT THEY WONT LISTEN TO HER. OUR YOUNGER GIRL IS 12 AND IS IN A FOSTER HOME AND WILL BE TIL 18. WE TRIED A LAWYER BUT THAT DID NO GOOD THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TAKING OUR DAUGHTER BACK BUT THAT WOULD ONLY BRING KIDNAPPING CHARGES AGAINST US. BUT IT SHOULD BE THE SOCIAL WORKERS AND JUDGES THAT SHOULD GET LIFE IN PRISON FOR KIDNAPPING OUR GIRLS!!!!!

    In Nov. 2005 my kids were taken for allegations made against me. Not my husband. My daughter's bio "dad" who met her for the first time when she was 8 1/2 (she is 12 now) and his wife decided that they wanted her. His sister-in-law is a social worker. My son was 5 and had never spent a night without at least one of us was left in a foster home without even his sister who was removed from the foster home 7 days after being taken and sent to live with "dad". CPS wanted to close the case on her and let him keep her but keep the case on my son. We fought them every step of the way but did what they wanted us to do after our "trial". 9 months later our kids came home. An attorney that was supposed to file a civil suit for us told me how lucky we were because after reading our papers, they weren't going to give my son back. I figured that out when I was getting papers together for the attorney. 3 years later, how hard it is to get thru some days.Post tramatic stress.They need to be stopped.

    We need to find a way to stop the unlicenced social workers, volunteer guardian ad litem. The reason these workers want the children adopted by fostercare is that the state, county workers, and foster parents each get a bonus when the adoption is final. Dont forget that the new adopted family get a check each month between $500.00 to $1500.00 a month.
    I have been fighting for custody of my grandchild since october 2006 still no luck I saw my grandchild once for 1 hour supervised of course. If anyone has any suggestions pleas let me know..

    I believe CPS is the most corrupt, government subsidized baby-stealing racket imaginable. Children who are attractive are coveted, CPS colludes with the so-called foster parent, money is exchanged all around, adoption follows. There is nothing there indicating that the natural parents did anything wrong at all but many lies are told and false conclusions drawn. CPS is racist, prejudiced against poor people, and completely illegal. Stealing children to sell for profit is not in the best interest of anybody except CPS with their pockets full of ill-gotten gains. How much denial does it take to pretend they are doing the children a favor?

    We need to have the state actors who are steealing children to be brought to justice. These people from CPS are criminals and need to be treated as such. Here in Utah we are trying to get Grand Jury Hearings. The U.S. Attorneys Office is looking the other way. God Bless everyone who has been affected by CPS. Get ahold of me if you need to, I am a Parent's and Children's Rights activist and advocate.I am putting in a Federal Lawsuit to try and stop what is happening regarding CPS. Lisa lsbierly@yahoo.com

    Been involved for 5 years almost. Go to the dshs web site for your area. Click on Forms and find requests for records.
    ie: www1.dshs.wa.gov also do a search engine on dshs intranet. What I have discovered is priceless and keeps CPS running scared. Due to graduate as a paralegal and take my fight up a notch. Go to the manuals listed in the children's administration. Call CPS on their policies and operations violations not to mention the violations on laws RCW's and WAC's. DO A FAIR HEARING some workers have been fired for not doing their jobs right. I had an incompetent cps worker at the beginning and the cream of the crop towards the end and they still have not broken me. PARENTS: NEVER GIVE UP THE GOOD FIGHT.

    My husband and I to are under the demands of CPS. This month will be a year since our children have been taken away with very little progress. It all started when my husband and stepdaughter got into it and I stepped in and then he spanked me. I told my stepdaughter to go to the basement and my husband was still mad and wanted to spank her. I blocked him and he tried to go around me and I lost my footage and fell down the basement stairs. It made me mad so I got him to go pick up the other daughter at her friends house and had the neighbors call the cops. He was arrested and I put a protective order against him at the advice of a friend. Big mistake! CPS came and made a horrible report filled with all kind of lied and took our two daughters and put them in foster care. They have twisted ever thing all around and it will be a year this month since they were taken. The girls want to come home but can't till CPS thinks they should there is a lot more to our story. Help! Legal kidnapping.
