I have dealt with CPS time and time again my advice to anyone who has had their children taken and no court action has been started in the juvinile court is to file a parenting plan in superior court along with an exparte order to show cause and note in the order that cps must show cause or return your children take that order to the cps office and tell them to give back your kids. This only works if they have no real evidence against you though. CPS has to be ended or replaced before more children have to deal with growing up in foster homes.

These CPS workers just blind-sided us (Grandparents) who 3 children were put into our care on 3-27-12 and taken from us for no concievable reason on 4-6-12. My daugher and the mother said she wanted the children to stay with us until she completed her services. Now they are in separate foster homes utilizing government funding and the 2 girls (twins) dad that after 8 years and two incarcerations (one for drug trafficking cocaine from the canadian thru california border) steps forward) and wants the 2 girls too live with him, This is after thier 8 years of life that he hasn't been involved (not even a birthday card); not a U.S. Citizen and never will be: and this is on public record and the girls don't want to be separated from their other siblings and split the family apart (also) he has (The supposed father who is a stranger to those girls and also is still married to my daughter but she lives in Bellingham and he lives in Tacoma (he was at the detention center for 2 years or more for possible deportation) and had a fijian matrimonial service, so he believes he is married to someone else. His current wifes (fijian) name is Julie gave up a child for adoption...Our whole family is grieving and it is inconceivable that he is unemployed and those girls have us(loving and nurturing grandparents (Not needing any public funding to raise all 3) that he again the dept gives him unsupervised visitation; he is a flight risk; will be separating them from the familiar and safe, that he could just come in and take them...I believe state funding has somthing to do with this as he was almost evicted and he gets an attorney his parents paid for ((although DNA has never been established) has a say that he doesn'tr want them with us; has denied his paternaty just last year; and is causing tremendous grief in our whole family system...DCFS believes it is OK and there was no reason...We were blind-sided...We love those children; mom wants them placed w/ us until she completes her services and then a man who has had no contact in the 8 years of their little lives places them in a foster system...They want to be w/ us and how is he getting unsupervised visits when he wasn't even @ the live birth (I was) and he was incarcerated for a drug felony,
my newborn babies were taken from the hospital illegaly no papperwork no allagations 4 days latter cps said it was past history they are trying to terrmanted my rights my baby is only 3 weeks old and im paying for everything my child needs and my services my social worker said she will win its to easy and they also stated the were saleing my kids there worth top dollers quote. please help i want my babies back from these kidnaping cps workers.
I'm sorry to see so many broken hearts as my own going on with such a sick, evil SHAM! These 'new' Bills are too late to help me... but I hope you USE them to the FULLEST exent! May ALL of our children come home!

Thirteen years I've been fighting cps and there corrupt ways they've been taking my grandchildren and I can't have them but I'm not going to stop fighting
The ATG office makes up lies and does not have to back up any of the allegations. Many times the parent is brought into court with allegations and information of which there is no discovery given to try and protect themselves. All here say!! With no funding for the so called public defenders office they can't even afford to give copy or give more than a days notice of hearings. Laws are broke and made to fit to the convenience of job security for the DSHS and CPS LOving families are ripped apart by thse ungodly creatures. And as per there own statements" God" has nothing to do with the lives of children". appalling!!
If the reason for becoming involved is taken care so as seemingly it is safe for the children to come home, they create another. There is only help in numbers. The pockets of all individuals of Washington State are being robbed by these creatures. The job security they create with the unjustly and horrific breaking up of loving families that are mostly trying to make it past this economy and rough times.
there kidjacking and very abusive to the families who love there children right as we speak the graysharbor system has already adopted 6 children and the court is not even finalizied yet Relitives have been trying to get custody and are now 3 years later being put through hell and ther nrelitive worked for the state herself for years in washington and Arizonia she had to move up here to save our children.

My children are being abused in state care. When I reported the abuse they locked my daughter in psych ward and drugged her. She is still there almost a month later.

CPS recently removed my grandson from my home. They said it was because the babies father was running amuck. So what! I took perfect care of my grandson. Now they will not even try to let me get him back. We need help bad!
DCFS/CPS destroyed my family over 11 years ago and I see they are still up to the same BS...when is this gonna stop? I wrongly lost 2 of my kids, they were sold to the foster parents because the foster parents didnt want to let them go...I am so sorry to the other families that are and have suffered like ours has.

south king county cps, i feel do not do their jobs and they definately have done irrepairable damage to my entire family they have done nothing but rip my family apart for the last twelve years.
Thanks to all government officials who have read and taken action on the injustices reported. We encourage all petioners and government officials alike to obtain and read "Child Protective Services and the Juvenile Justice System", Connecticut DCF Watch, www.connecticutdcfwatch.com.
We also encourage all petioners write their state government officials: Governor, Attorney General, Ombudsman, and Human Services Oversight Committees of State Legislatures.
It has become clear in the case of a child removed from her mother's home that DCFS has very little interest in moving toward the state's mandated family reunification. Even though the state approved psychiatrist's assessment has has ruled out a diagnosis of Facticious Disorder, the initial allegation, there has been no action to recommend dismissal of the case or even a liberalization of visitation.The motivation? Possibly individual or multiple actions for job security, but more likely an organized effort to grab more of the state's hard pressed budget. Any individual or department practicing this policy should be subject to criminal prosecution for diverting funds from families and children in much greater need.
A parent who is in therapy for depression or anxiety should never be criminalized by the department. They had no right to kidnap and now hold my only child as a hostage.
There are No honest politicians in this world. For honesty can-not be bought, bribed, coerced, or blackmailed into doing what the people with money want them to do. It is really sad and depressing to think this world has come to think that MONEY IS everything.
My children where removed from me, 3 daughters 11, 12, and 15, because my oldest daughter, refusing to come home, reported as a runaway, broke her finger even though she was 100 miles away from me, and i was unaware of the injury until 3 weeks after the fact, when i was contacted by CPS, so i was charged with Medical Neglect...and my three daughters, my entire life, gone.
I have had 3 of my children taken from me and i am pregnant with my fourth my biggest fear is that the state will take this child as well and I don;t understand how or why? I feel hopeless and I am sending this letter hoping someone will listen and help me and so many families like me. I have never abused my children, never convicted of any crimes, never taken drugs, never put my children in danger. I passed every test the state of Illinois gave me and still lost my children. This state asked me to pay for drug abuse and parenting classes and attend regularly. I was unable to do this because my job has me traveling alot and i was at risk of losing my career. I have to make money to support my children. Also I felt no need for drug classes because I have never done drugs and passed a drug test for DCFS. Also no need for parenting classes because I am not a bad parent. This state of Illinois DCFS is harassing me with no evidence of abuse of any kind, and the person that reported me is a crimal, drug addict, and has a history of mental illness. It was a neighbor that I had called the police on for disturbances and they retaliated by making a false DCFS report. How is that a creditable report? Don't they look up the people reporting abuse to see if they are a reliable source of information? The answer is NO and this needs to change. I never though this could happen to me I have always worked hard to take care of my children and never abused them, I had worked as a Sunday School teacher for children ages 0-5 years. I don't understand but i need help. My mother currently has custody of my 3 children but she will not be able to take on another child. I am pregnant and due soon and I am afraid DCFS will try to take this child from me also. We as parents deserve a fair trial
I would rather my son go to my mother than to lesbians or someone else that isn't blood related to him. They should've given my mother my son in the first place but refused to and they are still refusing to.
This seems to be very typical of DCFS as I just recently learned that another Family was torn apart after the Father received custody in Oregon, I would never move to Washington because they do not seem to believe in what is best for the CHILDREN!!!! As always children belong with family be it Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent or Cousin.
This is exactly what they r doing to me. They have had my grandson 14 months now I jumped through their hoops passed with flying colors but still don't want to give him to me. They get paid to adopt him out.
my children were removed from my home because i smoke marijuana, i smoke for my pain and am in the process of obtaining my green card. dcfs then told me i had to sign my rights to them or id never see my kids again they assurred me that the foster parents my children had be with since the case open would be adopting my kids, so broken i signed the papers. only to find out the foster parents never were sure they wanted to adopt them and have changed there minds, now because I SMOKE marijuana they took my kids out of a good home away froma great mother who did not (by DCFS's own definition i looked it up) abuse or neglecte my children, they were loved and takein care of, healthy happy kids. and now because of this they are gonna spend there lives in the system going to foster homes, and dcfs thinks they are gonna have a better life? ok besides that my babies aunt was willing to take and adopt all 3 of them she took parenting class, cpr classes and foster home training classes, just for washington state to repeatdly ignore her request for the kids.they have a right to the happy life dcfs claims to want for them yet they keep doing everything in there power to stop it,why?
Investigating all states' Child protective services, Family services, etc, is a very necessary thing. So many children all over the country are being ripped away from caring family members and given to strangers, while so many children who are in need of help are ignored, Time to get priorities straight!
We hope that a storm of protest breaks upon this agency and reforms take place. I am producing a documentary exposing the realty of what goes on in the CPS system.
This is crazy, I am very sorry for what you are going through. Even more so the child, its not fair to move them from home to home when they have family willing to care for her.
There is a family where DCFS is lying about what is going on and this needs to stop. It needs to be looked into and something needs to be done about it.
I don't know if the system is corrupt or if there is just to much to investigate or not enough money to pay people to do the job or what. But I do believe there needs to be checks and balances. I know not everyone is getting the justice that they should be and that warrants looking into.
I have seen these cases go wrong in all ways! Clark Co, WA scares me pretty badly. I went to CPS to ask for assistance in getting my children some help, and was in turn investigated, and told I should give up my job. A single mother supporting her children with NO child support and living with a life time protection order from biological father to them.... and I have seen them rip other families apart too. On the other hand, I have seen drug addicted mothers reunited with their children, over and over again. Same parents.. same children taken and then reunited... it is in such a sad state of affairs. Every one warned me NOT to go to Texas... and I have never been more pleased with my children's progress... (all of mine are special needs), there was a no nonsense let's get to the bottom of these issues. I definitely feel safer and more protected in another state!
DCFS and CPS across the entire country are corrupt. When children really are in danger, they don't protect them. When children are in a safe environment or can be provided a safe environment with familiar people, they harm them. These organizations need to get priorities straight and realize how destructive they are.
Please look into cases where children are taken from their biological parents or other family members and taken to other states only to be put into unstable homes.
A dear friend of mine has been the target of vicious lies and abuses of power by the DSHS. She is on the verge of loslng her children based upon these lies, which are unfounded.
