I cannot express just how important it is to have cps investigated for a lot of things. From what I understand they do have a lot of authority and to some point power also. Why??? do you realize that they try their hardest to take kids away from parents??? they will go so far to take kids away from their parent that they will actually tell parents that they...

Ms.Kelly has filed a cps petition in Barbour Co that contains many mistated facts and downright lies, she has done this intentionally to manipulate the process in order to try to freeze out and exclude a custodial grandparent from the process. She has a history of this type of behavior and clearly does not have the best interest of the child foremost as it...

My daughter Stephanie was born on April 20, 1990. She was healthy. I continue to take her to medical appointments etc. Unfortunately, on June 23 of that year, my firstborn daughter who had been born with a congenital condition passed away is 16 months old. The grief was completely overwhelming and I also had postpartum depression. The paternal grandmother expressed over and over her concern that the father and I were together and she had stated several times she did not wish for that to be the case at the time I was 23 and he was 28 way above the age of consenting adults. In September 1990 I was having such a bad time crying, being depressed that I took her suggestion to call someone to assist me. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the biggest mistake and nightmare of my life. I was given the number for an agency called child protective services-sounds pretty innocuous but they were anything but. Social worker got there and asked me some questions and I was honest and she told me she would give me her findings in several days. She had found me to be emotionally abusive toward my 5 month old daughter. Needless to say I was flabbergasted since I was the one to call and ask for help. That's been on my record for the last 27 years. I would've been better off being convicted of something because it would've dropped off long ago. Anyway that started the long nightmare of psychiatrists diagnosed me with something I didn't have, long list of medications-I am surprised that I live through this and finally toward the end of September my daughter was removed from my custody. They did not do this before contacting my parents who were able and willing to take her but somehow the father of the child knew. Then comes the interesting part the foster parents particularly the father was in conflict of interest since he had been counseling babies dad and knew all about my child. I tried hard to get her back but the psychiatrist continued to diagnose me and every time I wanted to get a new therapist I was told that if I did not cooperate with her they would take my visitation away. I can't tell you how many times I was placed in the hospital, given medicine to induce false memories and basically scare the crap out of anyone who would hear what the doctor had to say but social services was convinced that she was the right doctor for me. When I finally got we can visitation with my daughter I was told by the social worker that the foster mother was unable to bring her for Friday evening-not my problem right? It was her responsibility to do as the court order requested however, I was told by the CPS worker to go ahead and cooperate and allow her to come on Saturday evening instead-big mistake. They called several times and canceled visits due to your infections, her not feeling well and generally anything they could come up with to stop me from seeing her. Finally in 1992 I was considered to be well enough to have her back and the foster mother threw a fit right in the middle of the courtroom. The judge called everyone back in and asked if this was the right foster mother-she was already to attach to my child and I could see where it was going but of course no one listen to me. I was told it was up to me to decide whether or not to let my daughter see her foster parents. Out of the mercy of my heart because I knew what it was like to lose a child I let them have visitation because when the foster mother came to drop her off she looked like she was dying. I should've left it that way. I had to take her to see a child psychologist which I did twice a week but if you look at the films and I wish I had known they had existed before we went to court it was pure abuse on my poor daughter. The therapist will take out 2 sets of homes a mommy and a mama doll to indicate me and the foster mother and a daddy doll to indicate the foster father she would then put the Stephanie doll and with the foster parents and when the Stephanie doll went to go visit the mommy doll the therapist would make the mommy doll cry and put her in the bed with the mommy doll crying "I miss my Stephanie, I want my Stephanie"-what do you think this did to a 2-year-old who would start closing her eyes and burying her head in my lap because she did not want to see this? When the doll arrived at my house everything was fine and then when she left the doll that represented me was perfectly fine with it and as Stephanie doll reached the foster mother's home mother would become instantly happy and the child learned through conditioning that if she left her foster mother it was going to be her fault if she became sad-and they called me abusive? The tapes that had sessions with the foster parents were very very different in the sessions with me. Therapist Mentioning how she felt that Stephanie was going to end up with them and she treated them like adults none of this doll therapy was ever given any time when she was spending time with them at therapy office. The woman died several years ago and I hope she's rotting in hell. Several times I called her to confront her about the way she was handling the therapy and she told me that giving birth did not necessarily make me a mother and that I was going to be able to have other children. I brought this up and had the tape during the court case which was to decide whether or not my parental rights were to be terminated. The judge would not admit it into evidence. My lawyer who by the way was state paid who do you think she's going to help? Did nothing to assist me. She continued to tell me that I needed to cooperate but would not fight for my rights to have another therapist nor to have another child psychologist view my daughter. There was a letter that went out by the states forensic psychology about me who said she had grave concerns with my diagnosis and the way that I was being treated medically. Social services ignored that and in the end she testified against them on my behalf or for free. My doctor eventually got sick and I was able to get another psychologist to immediately took me off all the medicines and got me up and running i.e. working, going to school within 6 months but alas it was too late because the state decided I had had more than enough time to get my act together and they terminated my rights. There is much more to the story the bottom line was the parents at the time of adoption were too old 53 and 43, the mother was way too attached to quickly and although the judge saw problem she did not remove her from the home because she took the words of the social workers who were absolutely adamant to get this child adopted. She was perfect, white, female and baby which is almost unheard of in the social service system. I have no doubt that money changed hands. The cards were stacked against me and had I had the money to have a decent attorney who could blow them out of the water I would've succeeded. Now, I am left with a record of emotional abuse to a child which will last until April 20, 2018 my daughter's 20th birthday. I no longer consider her my daughter because 5 years ago she wrote me a letter stating that she did not see me as her mother, and that she did not want to hear from me anymore. I have had no contact with her since and to be honest she has become the nightmare I was afraid she would become if adopted by these people. Sucks because I've never been able to bring my story to light, never had the chance to write a wrong, never have had the chance to show these videos and hold the people responsible for what they did to my child and to me. My medical care was completely messed up in the 1st place and I was forced to continue going. Nobody ever spoke up and the tapes show exactly the kind of corruption that was going on. I wasn't given these tapes unfortunately until we were appealing my case there are over 30 of them in each 1 shows unspeakable acts toward a child who is supposed to be undergoing psychological treatment. How about brainwashing? I child was brainwashed by a psychologist using play therapy. She was out of her mind. She always treated me like a child and treated the adoptive parents or foster parents and other one in the same as adults and guess who is footing the bill? It was not fully on the part of social services but the foster parents as well. Who do you think she was going to be loyal to? Social services sucks, they are a bunch of greedy money hungry unethical people who definitely served a purpose of splitting up a family. They gave my parents who were in their 50s at the time no way to take her. I was not living with my parents at the time and they could've easily been asked.
same here ! the DEFAX worker (Clarissa Fletcher) issued "THE SAFTY PLAN) today. And my ex husband took my children today because we where chased by 2 P.I.(s) with mask on that he admitted to hiring to my daughter and in front of the police!? REASON being that I endangered them by getting out of the car and confronting them because we are sick of the harassment. so I could get the tag number. after running the tag # it came back to a local off duty { law enforcement officer.} He was the cause ( immanent danger) and I get punished for it. After interviewing my children without the school counselor. Instead the case worker and my ex-employer(school Administrator) whom requested me to resign or be terminated the day before and provided me no chance to prove her LIES ABOUT MY EMPLOYMENT!? I've requested a copy of the police report for 4 days and have yet to see one ? he's paid (the social worker off) just like everyone else in this town!?I suffered a panic attack today and my face is sagging on one side and my eye won't blink.(BELLES PALSY) as a result. I'm filing a lawsuit tomorrow morning!
Boy I can only imagine your frustration. Yes, CPS is a baby stealing scam; u pop out the kid, CPS (or anyone else) makes a false allegation & boom - kid be gone. In Orange County, California a case was won by a plaintiff in past few years because CPS illegally snatched her child. Plaintiff won damages. One defendant still works for CPS. Her name is Marcie Vreeken. In fact, Vreeken was promoted and works with others around the state of California, training them as far as Vintra Costa County in Northern California, to lie to judges and the court. A tasteless org - don't walk, but run.
Neglect
Neglect was found against my sister for her 2 kids. There father has pettion for custody not once but twice. He has b3en involved in these kids life since day one if my sister is not keeping them from them however 5he cps worker assigned to the case took the word of my mother and the kids were given temp custody to family members without seeking out there father. Father has been to court faithfully and the worker yet again has bypassed dad family member said.she couldnt do it anymore and has put in an order to remove and place with my mom who also has neglect findings on her as well. What to do who to call
No family available to take children
My brothers kids were taken by CPS over a year ago. I went to court and the judge ordered a home check and background check be done.

Child Protective Services in Shiawassee Co Michigan are UNREAL. They flat out LIE, than get mad when people catch on their lies. They try to remove children who are happy at home and are not being neglected. They write hearsay as evidence. They interview 3 year old children, who are way too young.

My child was taken December 8, 2009 based on several reports I had made from about 2 years prior. Our living situation was too stressful and I had failed to move us into a better one because of financial fears and I still saw my parents as a necessary support.

Read full review of Child Protective Services and 1 commentkidnapped my daughter
I was disciplining my daughter at a Kmart store when an employee called security on me not because she did not like how I was disciplining my daughter but because she was angry at me over telling her do her job in a timely manner. The police were called and I was arrested for disciplining my daughter. Then the police along with Child Protective Serrvices decided that I was "abusing" my daughter, who at that time asked for it and needed to be disciplined. My daughter is in foster care. I am wondering if anyone has has similar situations and wondering how I can go get my daughter back.
Well it is not bad as what you and Trevor are doing which is following teenaged boys such as Zachary from post to post. You and Trevor have a thing for 13 year old boys. Both my husband and I know this.
It's Nonnie Mouse who thinks this is a fake complaint. I for one am writing this to get help getting my daughter back.
I agree Zachary is pathetic.
No wrong again Zachary you idiot, I am not the one that posted this review, and this is not my style you idiot. You are a dummy and idiot, if you don't know that this post is a troll post after pointing it out several times you are an idiot. Don't insult the nonnie mouse you ###.
You don't understand she is trying to hurt me. She keeps asking when her brother will be home. I had told her that thanks to her stubborness her brother will never come home. If she loved her brother why did she always fight with him. She was jealous of him and is probably glad to be the center of attention. She was always fighting with him.
I will not do what they want me to do Paul Vance. They want me to stop hitting her and blaming her for her father's and brother's death. You know they are also accusing me of emotional abuse when I told my evil daughter that it was her fault her brother and father were killed in a car accident. If those people only knew her for what she is. My daughter is responsible for the death of her brother and husband. My daughter is mentally ill she even made a Christmas card for her dead brother and asked me to give it to him. I tore it up and told him thanks to her he will never get another Christmas or birthday gift again. My son had a hockey game he was playing and my daughter wanted to go. This stalled us for five minutes which caused them to get into an accident. My daughter was so evil that she did not tell her father and brother to wear their seatbelts which cost them their lives. I lost my husband and son thanks to her.

Lady I hate child protective services and fight everyday for mine over false accusations but it seems as tho your daughter is better off where she is. she don't understand death at her age nor can you blame a 6 year old for two deaths. even if she did cause it that says that YOU should of been getting her help long before your son and husband died. people who speak like you are right now makes it hard for parents who actually have unconditional love for their children to get their kids back and prove they are telling the truth. it truly sounds like its you that needs the help to see that when they passed it ws up to you to make things better and show that little girl love and support. when she gave you that card as much as it hurt you should of told her how sweet it was that she made it for him maybe even take her to his grave and give it to him together. I'm truly appualed
I bet you are the one who posted this review Nonnie Mouse. This is your style..
If you are blaming he for her brother's death and telling her about death by ripping up the Christmas card she made for him than you are the evil one you demon.
My children fight with each other all the time, but in the end they still love each other. They still stand up for each other. She may be happy if she was center of attention, but she still misses her brother. I am hoping you are trolling, but with the way some people grieve unfortunately this sick story about you blaming your daughter for what happened to her may be true. If your story is true your husband would want you to love your daughter not abuse her. If you are not going to love her for her sake at least do it for your husband's sake, for your son's sake. I am sure as much as he "hated" his sister sometimes he would not want you to abuse her.
Your daughter is six, she does not know the true meaning of death. I am not even sure if my ten year olds know. Sure they know more than her. She is not doing it to be mean and rub it in that her brother died. She is doing it because she loves and misses her brother.
These lying parasites
"CPS ARE THE MOST EVIL AND CORRUPT BRANCH OF AMERICAN GOVERMENT" here is a perfect example of it being true.

Read full review of Child Protective Services and 6 commentsCPS took my daughter based on false accusations about my boyfriend.
My daughter (5) has been telling her daycare worker lies and claiming my boyfriend Norman has been sexually touching her. This is not true. I love my boyfriend Norman and he would never do such a thing. When my daughter first told me this lie, I told her that that I love Norman and if she continues to tell these lies she would have to leave the house. Now she has been lying to a teacher at her day care program and they told me that Norman has to leave the house or they would remove my daughter. Rather than have my daughter win and give in to her by asking Norman to leave I stayed firm and told them that I love Norman, and he did nothing wrong and my daughter is a lying ### and just made this up to get Norman in trouble.
This is not the first time that someone has made false claims against my Norman. A few years ago two young girls, ages 7 and 10 made false claims claiming he was molesting them. Their foolish mother believed them and kicked them out of the house, . If anyone should have their children removed it should be her for not putting a stop to their lies about an innocent man, .
Then a 14 year old boy claimed Norman gave him links to pornographic sites, . Norman admits this, but he claims he just did it to go with the flow and to be cool|.
Stop this nonesense, I love Norman and there is no way he is doing the thing my lying little brat is claiming he is doing to her|. I don't know who the father of this child is, however she is not giving Norman a chance, . She is making lies about Norman sexually molsesting her and it is ruining my life|. I love Norman and won't let you guys ruin his life over lies by a bunch of chidren.
He is not a child molester and my child has to earn my love by not lying and admitting she made it up. So he made a mistake with the 14 year old He has the guts to admit it, those other three are lying.
Gold, the history is based on a bunch of lies.
mom235 you need to learn how to read. Two of the children were sisters. And it is possible all four children are lying. I am not selfish and Norman is not a pedophile.
Actually the five year old is now seven years old. Now they are making my child belonging to the state because she has been lying about him for two years. Norman loved her, helped pay my bills and this is how this ungrateful brat repays him. Without his support we would be evicted. They have located her birth father she will probably live with him.
I would terminate my rights with this child. But I find it unfair Norman is treated like a criminal when four kids lied about him.
I am trying to get help here, and if you are not going to help don't post.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
all I'm saying is so many children would never say something unless it really happened or they are being told to say so. from what you said it sounds like he did, no one is around kids like that and so much sexual stuff be attached whether rumored or not just saying use your head
You Are a no good ### how would u say your little girl have to leave so your man could stay with you. What kind of mother are you ### you make it hard for women like me. If that many kids say he is touching them and you still love him really he didn't do it one time but 3times. ### you are sick just like him. You choose a man over your child what a ###ing shame you don't even need to be a mother. You are a gutter rat. For the next time you post something like that do everybody a favor don't your man is more important to you not your child so go to a different site. This is for women & man who put they kids 1st. Good luck with your child molester.
"My daughter (5) has been telling her daycare worker lies and claiming my boyfriend Norman has been sexually touching her. This is not true. I love my boyfriend Norman and he would never do such a thing. When my daughter first told me this lie, I told her that that I love Norman and if she continues to tell these lies she would have to leave the house"
That is the best decision you ever made. If you are not willing to believe your daughter because your love for Norman is so blind than this is the best decision you ever made. Please stop fighting to get custody of her because clearly you do not deserve her. She deserves better. Also your love for Norman is so blind. Seriously I did not read your whole letter. I was too disgusted when I read about Norman molesting other children. If i read your whole letter more I bet there would be more "lying little girls."
How in the hell can you call your child names like that? How can you chose some man over your child? I hope you get fixed so you cannot have anymore children. You should have put her into counseling not kick her out. You should be ashamed of yourself. According to what you said, it sounds like he is a child molester. You don't show child porn to a kid just to be cool and go with the flow. How ignorant are you?

Kids dont lie
I really, really hope that the OP is a troll. It is absolutely reprehensible that a mother would feel this way about her child being molested. He has a history. I feel that the OP needs counselling or some other type of intervention.
What a selfish person you are! You are living with a pedophile! 4 children who do not all know each other having the same story and your trying to say that they are all lying...I dont think so. You already admitted he told you he showed a 14 year old child porn! If that was all he had done he is still a pedophile! Who cares if he pays the bills! What kind of mother sells out the safety of her 7 year old child to have someone pay the bills. Please do not EVER have any more children!
What is wrong with you! What kind of mother calls her fice year old a ###! I hope they take that child and give her to parents that love her. In case noone ever told you - your child ALWAYS comes first! Thank God CPS took her! Your a fool!
