CPS reviews and complaints

I would've said that I have a story that no one could ever believe unless you have lived it but, chances are if you got here the same way I did, you're living or have lived something similar. I can't sit here and tell all, it would end up the size of a full novel, but I will tell you this: my entire family, as well as, extended family have been mistreated and abused by the Family Courts and associated workers headed by, none other than, the evil CPS crew. I will also clarify that I know there are CPS workers whom truly mean well, but they are so much fewer than the corrupted worker and to them, I am sorry. I have been threatened with my children, forced to do things under extreme duress and coercion for things that weren't alleged and without reasonable suspicion. My children were removed without a court order and I had to wait from December 6th until February 27th to go in front of the Judge. I was not given a proper defense attorney as I am legally entitled, and the Judge was blatantly biased. I shattered both my legs in an auto accident and am currently financially unable to pay for proper defense, which has been used in a major way. I have endured having to hear suicidal cries over the phone from my first-born of 6, a typically strong, intelligent, witty, happy 15-year-old child. We weren't even 'allowed' to be talking but, who could ignore their Childs phone calls? Especially when they had been admitted to the hospital 2 times during the 2 weeks at a foster home. My babies soul was broken, I could hear the pain in their voice. Here I sit, in a car, ready to face whatever consequences may come my way, I have to help my child but I don't know where to go... I beg and I plead. I tell them how much I love them and it will all be ok soon... I couldn't hold my child, my heart was in my stomach, I could barely breathe. It is a pain that I hope no one ever has to endure. I think, call the police and explain the situation because they can find her. Saying that you need to know that this whole nightmare started because I called the police to ask for assistance in a verbal altercation between myself and my paramour of 8 years, yes, an argument. I recorded the calls, I have the text messages, we even called the emergency CPS line for help, we got none. Luckily, my baby pulled through, calmed down, and is ok. My kids are still not home but are with family now, thank God! There hasn't been a single effort made by CPS to keep my family intact or to reunify. The CPS worker lied on the stand, under oath, was caught, but the biased Judge still allowed it. My 2 youngest children have NEVER been away from me... Something has got to give. The case is a mess, and nobody knows what is going on... We need a divine intervention, a miracle. Everything I claim IS based on factual evidence (court documentation, audio, video, text, police body cam footage, open records, case plans, medical, and educational records, etc...) My story contains much more and needs to be told, but I need help doing so. You may contact me via email at [protected]@anonymousspeech.com and I will respond as soon as possible. Thank you for reading.

This woman came to my home. She was nice until she was done. I took a mouth swab and passed. I did the saftey plan even though I refuse to work with them any longer. Because she tells me one thing like withhold the child. And now they pretend they are on everyone's side me and my ex the father had just got thing working and she is no longer on the case. Molly CPS manager is doing the same. I am not a threat I physically raised my 5year old.
I should not have to jump through hoops to be with my child that I raised. If they really wanted to help they would stop telling lies and manipulating both parties. This is the Stanford location in Arlington. Molly asked me to work with her she told my child's father to with hold him. CPS cannot tell where you can allow your child to go without signing a legal document. But they do and that's if there is no court order but they can tell you to obey the court order. Theses CPS caseworkers are just trying to get their quotas just like cops. I don't appreciate that they think they can act as the law. Everything they asked I did and now I question opening the door. I really hope something about these power control issue.

my Indian child welfare act rights/icwa was violated I told cps to put him in a Indian home and they told me no and that's one of my rights, another they violated was my medical card they accused me of being a marijuana addict but I showed them proof of my medical marijuana card  that I take only for chronic back pain and they still used that against me and I showed proof of that to. cps abused my son I saw bruises with blood on my son's legs and when I touched his legs to see what was wrong he would cry I took pictures and showed the judge and told cps that he is being abused but nothing was done about it..they used my child hood against me from things I did when I was 6 years old which was Pete things that all children do and that's wrong because I'm n adult now.they're also discriminating me because I'm a magellan paient and told me that I'm not smart to take care of a baby a baby but I graduated high school in normal classes  they discriminate against me in court and said I'm to smart to take care of a baby

REceived a phone call from a man who wanted me to give him 511.00 over the phone. When I asked for verification of the debt he refused and said it would be put on my credit report. I said if I owed the debt I would be happy to pay $100 a month until paid however he had to verify for me who he was due to identify theft he proceeded to hang up. I had asked for address/website and wanted to know who they were and where they were located and he refused. I then waited a week and called back got the same man who hung up on me and would not verify the info. I then called back and pusht he prompt for address and fax number got a lady who gave me an address and a reference number. I explained that whomever was calling me was not being cooperative and kept hanigng up and due to identify theft I was not about to give some stranger my credit card number over the phone.

They have been trying to lease me more expensive terminal than my shop really needed. I've just started my business then and had no idea about the difference in terminal models so their Sales rep told me that I needed a model that was at the top of their product line. They have a universe of credit card processing terminals to choose from and I later realized that I could have gone with a cheaper model without having to spend extra on a terminal with a few "important" features advertised by their sales which I in fact rarely use. My advice to anyone who wants to deal with them would be to do your own research prior to signing the contract to know upfront what terminal your business really needs. Alternatively, just tell them your requirements and ask for a cost-effective model able to meet them.

On June 26, 2011 my childrens father called me stating that he was going to kill my kids and come find me to do the same. After calling the police and getting no results I went to file for emergency custody. I recieved another phone call stating if I didn't come get them I'd never see them. Fearing for them I went to my trailer where I was let in by his friend. When I went to get my kids, they were in bed with him.As I went to pick my son up, dad swung at me burning our son with a cigarette. I picked my son up & ran outside. CPS says that I burnt my son & threw him into car, which is false. I was granted theraputic visitation with my kids, yet in order to get custody back I must say that I was the one who burnt our son and threw him in the car leaving bruises on him. I will not say that because I didn't do those things!
My kids are with a man who has been violent towards me (& other women) in the past. I fear for my kids safety but can't admit to something I didn't do. What should I do?

When given a restraining order, police are advised to keep said person away from the person or family as needed. Unfortunately, my father hasn't been arrested for all he has done since the restraining order was placed on him. He is constantly being at my house, stalking my self and siblings, and threatening my mother. Now he has taken it a step further. He has placed myself and my siblings for adoption, and yes we are currently in a new home. WHY WAS THIS ALLOWED! Why are we still in a strange home, with a new "mother and father", away from all our friends, a new school, and having to deal with crap from someone whom doesn't deserve to hear me speak, because they don't even care for what is coming out. Why am I still here? Why hasn't it been noted that the person who placed me to be adopted has a restraining order against him. He had no right to do this to us or my mom. WHY IS THIS GOVERNMENT ALWAYS CARELESS! Please help us get out of here!

the cps been at our home found nothing wrong on a few misleading and false reports and then when my children were at family members 2 days later come and took them, we have not seen nor can we get ahold of them the cps have served us nothing stating why or what is going on

I lost my job about 8 months, and ihad gotten behind almost 2 months on my car payment. I was able to get caught up. However when my unemployment ran out, I was behind like 35 days on my payment. I received a restricted call on my cell, when my sister anwered the phone, this man, who would not give her his name, started screaming at her, calling her my name, and yelling at her that he was tired of playing games, and saying pay a payment today or the car is ours tonight, and we will not give it back, and cursing, yes cursing, at her! I tried to call the company back and speak to a supervisor, however I never got one on the phone. How dare they... He acted like it was his money that I was late on the payment too. Cps I will b reporting your company to the better business bureau, and that I promise..

I have to completely agree with the Fact that they are proffesional baby(kid) nappers.. Here is my story and any help would be greatly appreciated.. I am a mother of three boys and left a widow on Jan 14, 2009 by my husband of 24 years at age 39. I had never been in trouble for anything in my whole life. Not only did I loose my partner in life I found out also that year that I have coranary artery desease and had to have open heart surgery, a 5-way by pass. Along with a list of diagnoses like Diabetes, hypertension, thyroid desease and depression along with a few more.. Now with that being said, I was trying to rebuild my life from devastation and trying to figure out who I was and where I was supposed to go from there.. I was in the process of moving and had been staying with my Dad until new carpet was finished in the apartment I was to rent. One morning I was on my way to get the boys ready for school and started feeling strange and in my past I new it my bloodsugar and I felt as though I was gonna pass out so, I pulled over at someones house off the highway that looked safe so that I could get help and not risk driving down the highway and passing out and hurting my boys. Well I didnt get my car in park before I blacked out and it rolled into the garage, didnt cause damage thou.. But because I was sick and could not speak clearly enough to be understood on the phone I needed the woman that lived there to call EMS for help. But as it turned out they not only sent ems but also sent the fire department and police that thought I had crashed there... And I was the one who requested help! Before they arrived I had been eating 4 ding dongs 2 butter crumb cakes and a bag of m &m s' plus drank a cherry coke in order to raise my sugar so that it wouldnt fall again and black out.. well by the time the ems got there which was about an hour after it started they tested my glucose level and it was 138 therfore they assumed it was normal, not taking into concideration all the sugar substance that i had consumed.. And arrested me for Driving while intoxicated with indangerment, , Like I was a Drunk! (Even though I did a breathalizer that registered o.oo). I went to jail.. The next day I got out and CPS came and stole my children and I have been trying to get my boys back sence..And that was on March 4th 2010. I even went thro this thing they call IOP at Centerstone and they determined that I was not in a need for their services because I am not an alcohlic or drug addict, instead they determined that I was only in need of grief counseling.. And as far as I know there is no law about grieving over a deceased spouse..And I didnt feel like it was a reason for the seperation of my boys and me.. We were getting thru our tragedy together.. So now not only have my boys lost there father, They have lost all they had left "me" there mother...

Hello my name is Andre Burrell and we are in need of help and prayer. We are being treated unfairly by Child Protective Services. They took our son without giving us the right to let him go to a family member first. Our amendments were violated as well as our rights. I took our son to the doctors for a fever they did not check him for what I bought him in there for. They sent us to the hospital with a sealed envelope an said don’t open it it’s for the doctors only he was in there two days never checked him for what i asked them too.
CPS came in and said we are taking your child into custody because they said he was failing to thrive and it was the parents fault and that we were neglecting him if that were the case we would not have taken him to the doctors. They put him in foster care and had to rush him to the emergency room because he had a fever and was throwing up which was the same reason I took him he had had an ear infection.
We have been to court and the said that we neglected him and that we missed several doctors’ appointments but they were rescheduled. The judge said that it was neglect but it did not seem to be intentional but they also put criminal charges on us. So recently our son while still in foster care got sick would not eat threw up and lost weight so now he has to go to gastroenterologists, which they said we did not do but his doctor said he had to eat more or go to the gastroenterologist and he was eating more with us.
The foster mom is supposed to provide transportation for our son back and forth to the doctor but she has a three year old so she can’t take him because she home schools him not that it’s not important but that’s one reasons they said we were neglecting him which is not true on our behalf. Now every doctor appointment to the specialist our case worker and the foster mom take him together. The foster mom was told to give him milk and every time she did he would throw up. We were told that he has low motor tone which makes it difficult to feed him and may also cause him not to get the right amount of nutrition which will make it hard for him to gain weight.
Since all this has been going on we have been taking nutritional classes and are signed up for parenting classes, CPR and first aid. We need help please we love our son so much and don’t know what to do. We have a three month old if we did what they say we did they would have taken him as well. So I hope you understand how we feel the foster mom is not following the guidelines please help us bring him back home it’s hard to function without our son.
The foster mom is having a problem as well with him gaining weight as well as him losing weight. I asked our case worker since it is evident that we were not neglecting him and this is a medical issue can we get him back she said it a legal issue but no one has come to investigate they just charged us with a crimes we did not commit.
We found out that he has food allergies to milk, wheat, peanuts, and cod fish. We just found out that he has lost 3 to 5 ounces and has had diarrhea for a week and a yeast infection too and the case worker has canceled the gastroenterologist appointment, we have supporting documentation, medical records, pictures but it does not seem to matter. We are being charged criminally in the grand jury and we need an expert witness and our lawyers are asking us to find one not to mention that these are court appointed lawyers. This whole thing has gone too far.
We are reaching out so that our story can be heard and we have linked up with others who are dealing with similar issues and we need help because something has to be done to stop the innocent parents and the children from getting hurt. We are both in college and our careers are going to be ruined I am going to school for criminal justice in order to get a job with the FBI and my spouse is going in order to become a doctor. In these fields we know you have to stay out of trouble so we are being mistreated please help us. Thank you for your time and God bless.

These people are the rudest of rude you try to do the right thing and explain to them that you are having a diffcult time and want to set up a payment plan and all they do is yell at you and tell you you are going to lose you car after having loans with them for 10 years now been on time and paid more then what was due. I will never do business with them again.What a pathetic company.

CPS collection reps are so rude. They called me looking for a payment I made arrangement for one post dated check, then the rep told me I had to set up another one because I was late. I told her I would have to call back because I wasn't sure when I do that. I told the rep I would call back on the 30th to set another one up, she told me she was setting one up for the 30th with the previous back info I had giving her. I asked her not to do that and she told me it was to late and she hung up. I tried numerous times to call back to talk to a supervisor but was unsuccessful. I finally got in touch with someone who claimed to be the supervisor, the whole time I was explaining the story she was laughing trying to act like she cared. I had to make sure I put the money in the bank by the 30th to avoid a overdraft fee. I never got that issue resolved. It's like they just got away with it. I called there California office to get help, they told me they always get complaints from the VA office. The receptionist gave me a sup number in the VA office, and I got her voice mail. I never receive a call back.

One time CPS called me so much the call all of my references early in the morning making threats to them. They requested to be remove from the call list and never was. CPS would say things to me like I'm broke, if I couldn't afford my vehicle won't I give it back. They get loud with me, hang up on me. I am going to file a legal suite against them.

My nephews have been getting physically, mentally and verbally abused by their mother. My nephew told my brother that his mom was trying to drown him in a bath tub, that she fist hit his sibling on the back, she and her boyfriend locked the 4 year old in a closet for a day and she hit and screamed bad words to the two other kids because they were complaining of being hungry and thirsty.

So, my brother decides to call the cops, get a lawyer and call CPS. The cops apparently made a report of child abandonment, (because she left all five kids downtown at my mothers store, turned around and left) the lawyer opens up an emergency case and charges him nothing, CPS shows up at my house because this is where they are living now, with me and my family. The CPS agent interviews each of the children separately in a bedroom here at my home, takes pictures of MY HOME, OF MY FRIG, OF MY FOOD, which I found rather odd because we are the ones calling CPS on her not the other way around.

So, never once did the CPS agent go to the mothers home to do the same and never did the mother get interviewed for anything. Then court comes along and the kids are back with the mom because apparently as my brothers lawyer said "it's best just to give the kids back until they have a better reason or charge against her. So of course this only led us to believe that this is happening because of her mother (my brother's ex mother in law works as a Customs Agent and boy does she have pull.)

Oh yeah the kids cry and beg us not to let them go back and they've even written letters against her saying everything that they have been through and everything that she and her boyfriends do to them. We recently got them back and the little one came back with a huge bite on her arm and bruises all over her arms, back and legs. She has been this way since she was a baby and CPS not once has ever done anything about it. We are so sick and tired of these people and the way the system works here in Laredo. I, their aunt have taken pictures of them when they all got sick with only God knows what it was but apparently the doctors said it was because of the dirty clothes they were wearing and the dirty environment they were living in. OKAY so DID CPS DO ANYTHING! NO!

Still the CPS agent stated in court that there was no reports of abuse going on. Ah okay so I guess we should all just wait and see if next time she drowns my nephew and killing the other one of hunger while she cries and beats the door to the closet where she is being held helpless by the mother and her boyfriend because she is afraid of the dark.

I only hope that God does hear these children's cry's and he rescues them from her.

By the way, not exaggerating and not lying. WE NEED HELP, WE LIVE IN LAREDO AND EVERYONE IS BOUGHT HERE! I have tonz of pictures but will not post them because do not know if it is legal to do so.

I was in a case with cps due to having physical altercations with my husband and my child was in the home. Cps said she had to leave the home and so she went with my mother in law. keep in mind nothing is through the courts! they take a month to get us a worker that would work our case. Our worker gave us a list on things we needed to do, drug and alcohol assessment psychological and psychiatric evaluations (my mother in law has personal issues with me and my family so she reported i was falsely bipolar) also parenting classes and family and individual therapy. I passed the drug and alcohol assessment(i dont even do drugs) I supposedly have depression (who wouldn't when their child is torn from the family?) but I am able to handle my depression with out medication as per the psychologist. i even have a note stating i dont need meds :) we also completed parenting classes and our family therapy. the day we finished our family therapy they closed the case and refused our therapists last report. when they stopped the case cold turkey my daughter was left in limbo. My in laws wont return her to us, they are now playing cps. Cps wont return our calls not even the supervisor! im shocked these people actually are allowed to work for this state ran organization... im a bit put off by the fact they say they cared for my daughter and want to reunite us with her and here we do everything and its not good enough. now they dont give a flying ### about her. I want my child back and still am willing to walk through fire for her. the issue that was to be resolved the domestic violence has been! no problems since march 2010 my daughter left Jan 2010. We love our daughter she was never hurt or abused nor neglected despite the fights my husband and I had. We have worked out our issues and are back on the path. We realize the position weve put ourselves in and the effects that followed. why would cps just drop my daughters case like this?

Apparently CPS can make the rules that everyone else has to follow except when it comes to them. We had a foster child in our home that went off to camp and broke his leg while at camp and they wrapped it and gave him some crutches, then called us and stated that they were bringing him home that way and we should take him to the emergency room when they get here in five to six hours. If we were to do this, we would be charged with medical neglect and lose our license, but apprently since they are CPS they do not have to follow the same rules we do. They should have immediately taken this child to the ER for x-rays.

The PD made contact with the MO. The'MO stated that she does not have reliable transportation to pick the OV up from the police station. The MO told the PD to release the OV to the boys that she was with. The PD did not feel comfortable doing this. The PO has no reason to hold the OV at this time or to place the OV in juvenile hall. The OV is currently at the Police Station.
The OV stated that the home is a mess very dirty. The MO has 24 animals living in the home. The Ov stated that the MO punches/hits the OV with whatever the MO can grab or get a hold of at the time.

CONCLUSIONS:
CPS, NSUP, PHNG, PHAB, EMAB, P1.
The OV(16 yo f) ran away and MO/AP will not come get her from the Police station. The OV made an out cry of PHAB, PHNG, and EMAB. Immediate assistance is being requested at this time.

Do you notice how it goes from "can't" to "won't"? They then use "won't" and "refused" through the rest of the document and my daughter has told me she never said any of this and conveniently, the interview was not recorded nor any pictures taken due to my daughter being upset. I do not have 24 animals, my house was pretty beat up but not dirty and I have never lifted a hand to this child. On another page, Medina also says he called my only relative in this city to see if they would take her and my brother says they never called him. They have kept us holding on using "maybe at the next court hearing" and "maybe in 30 days" now my daughter is getting "the abuse isn't the issue, just the condition of the house." Huh? I thought it was Child Protective Services no Home Inspection Services.
