View all 10 complaintsLancaster County - They would not help, refused to give me accurate information
C&Y never contacted me when they placed my newborn grandson from the hospital with strangers. They knew who I was and could have easily found out how to contact me, as I had raised my other grandson and they were involved with removing him from his parents home and placing him with me. They wore me down and refused to help me navigate the system despite the fact that I was approved for kinship care. They would not help, rarely returned calls if at all, , refused to give me accurate information on the process to have my grandson; and even made a racial comment about "Jews". I have never met my grandson and he was adopted by his foster parents after C&Y accused me of having my son live with me for a period that I had not reported to them, which was a complete, blatant lie. They told me they knew this to be true because my sons attorney talked to them (without my sons permission) and told them. The attorney told me that was not the case and that he knew my son was transient and could not tell when he was living with me because it was very sporadic . C&Y took a newborn baby from a chance of being raised by his loving Grandmother (I'm also a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has provided respite and foster care since approximately 2001 to present) who would have cared for, meticulously and loved him more then anyone else could. Now I think of him every day and love him from afar. I thought this was America and I had rights, however I have learned from this experience that in this country people often can only obtain rights when they purchase them with Lawyers whom are proficient in overcoming the power of agencies like Children and Youth of Lancaster. If I could have afforded those Lawyers and was not put through the hell, challenges and barriers C&Y betrothed me, I would be raising my flesh and blood with those who can love him like no other, his family.
Lancaster County - Discrimination and Deceptiveness
Our caseworker told my boyfriend they "butted heads" because he was Catholic and kept going on and on about how she hates and can't stand Catholic's. Continued by telling my mom that if it wasn't for my boyfriend I would've had the baby back weeks ago now that my boyfriend is no long living with me because my parents got us evicted from our house because my grandpa owns it, they are still making up reasons why they will not let me have my child unsupervised. Now I need to finish my drug and alcohol outpatient and give more clean drug screens. Which I never gave them a dirty one! They keep telling me one thing and doing another I smoked weed once and admitted it to them. My very first urine wasn't even dirty and they still are making me suffer without my child for over 60 days now.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
My daughter had a drug problem and as a result her two children, both under the ages of 3 years old were taken and put into the cys program. She has under gone drug rehab in 4 different programs and 2 mental health programs. The original drug charge, possesion of drugs, has been down graded to to paraphanalia charge. Every program that cys has required her to complete has been completed. This has been going on for 16 months and 2 months ago they required her get her own apartment, which she has done. They ordered another mental health program after the 2 previous completions stated she doesn't have any issues. The fact is that cys gets federal dollars for children in the system, and that is the reason they won't give her children back. Her only crime was she was high in the car with the children in there. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. Now they said 3 more months. We have had enough. kids were taken in july 2017 and now it is december 2018. Cys is a corrupt place that needs serious looking into.
