My granddaughter has done everything to get her children back. There is no record of abuse or neglect. She is being persecuted because of her learning disability. My grandson is on three different drugs to control his behavior. He is 8 years old, in a group home with older boys. They shaved his head. I want them all to come to Montana to be with family who will help. This is not considered an option. There are two children? the three year old is in another city.. My granddaughter must travel by bus for visitation with her three year old. She does not drive and walks through snow, and cold weather all over Spokane, oven at night to comply with the demands of the unsympathetic social worker who is almost always unavailable on the telephone. -

Constant harassment from CPS towards our son that has a disability. I know my rights now, they are after us again as we speak! They violate not only our rights as adults, but a vulnerable (disabled ) child that does not know their rights, such as the the 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment! When does it end? We have to stand together and fight, one voice won't be heard, but hopefully many will. I'm on board, and all my thoughts and resources are exhausted! Can not trust anyone! I'm ready to fight~Let's GO!REPORT COMMENTS

Newport wa cps is corrupt. Public defenders lie and the judge violated the Indian child welfare act by even placing my kids in foster care without any evidence of endangerment or abuse of any kind. They just get away with all of the lies and pergury. Falsified paperwork. Missing documents. And other peoples files mixed into mine with my kids name on them? So glad I got my kids back after 6 months. Forever haunted by what they did. Please help do something so this doesn't happen to good people.REPORT COMMENTS

If we don't take a stand to protect our children; even if it means going to the ends of the earth, who will. As parents we should be going to every possible outlet to gain exposure. There enough signatures on this petition to suggest that should we stand united arm in arm to fight cps we would cause one hec of a riptide. Signing a petition is effortless, and without actual action. Why are willing signers of this petition not coming together to devise a plan? The ball has to start rolling somewhere or nothing changes. My kids were removed for no reason! I have a cancer diagnosis, and my help from cps was in the form of kidnapping!!! They prey on the poverty stricken whom they think are without a backbone. My bank account may be weak but I definitely am not and will fight with all that I am, not just until my children are returned , but until these monsters are stopped and NO MORE CHILDREN suffer the heartache mine have! This is not about our pain people, not about our injustice we are adults and can cope, this is about the kids who are powerless against all, including the fostering families administering the abuse we have been wrongly accused of and getting away with it! So one is left to assume that adults ate only accountable for harming a child if cps stands to gain a profit! AMERICA THE FREE, I THINK NOT!!!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

My cousins daughter has been sexually abused by her father for the past 3 years. She is now 5 and it began when she was 2. My cousin had her daughter taken from her because she only reported what her daughter said. Her daughter continued to report sexual abuse by her dad her and they removed her from her mother because of her reporting of sexual abuse, and have threatened to arrest her if she speaks of it again. DCFS accused her of coaching her daughter (which when a 3 year old says "my daddy hurt me with him fingers down there") that is NOT an adult speaking. She's told me and doctors and therapists about the abuse. DCFS denies her being credible. I am a former child welfare worker myself and this is beyond unjust. We took her daughter to the hospital 3 weeks ago because she had a bloody stool and stated "her daddy hurt her with a machine in her bottom." She described what I can only assume to be a sex toy. The hospital confirmed blood in stools. BUT the next day they came and took her daughter because we reported what she said. They have threatened to press charges against my cousin for reporting the abuse. We have gone to everyone for help the inspector general, attny general who all say they will "look into the situation." Meanwhile she hasn't had a report filed against her but she hasn't seen her daughter for 3 weeks. Someone who has power needs to stand up to this corruption. Reporting sexual abuse of your child is what a GOOD MOTHER SHOULD DO. Now my cousins daughter doesn't even have visitation with her daughter and is LIVING with her father who is sexually abusing her WHILE the police department has an OPEN investigation into the abuse. How is THAT ok??REPORT COMMENTS

CPS in Richland, WA is the biggest "NOT FOR THE PARENT" I've ever seen. I am helping someone w/getting their children back and CPS is CORRUPT! Pulling GAL from case, person trying to get kids has been doing everything they've asked and they are still trying for adoption. WTF are we to do to get kids back? Why are they not wanting biological parents to have them? CPS is so bad, need help to find out how to clean their house and get REAL, reliable people that are for the kids, not the money!!!!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

This system is broken! After 3 reports (unfounded in Chenango county)I knew my granddaughter was being abused at the hands of her own mother. Two weeks after the third unfounded report was still under investigation another investigation was opened in Delaware county which was indicated and all her other children were taken out of her care. But..my granddaughter was never listed on the case because she lives with me in. Don't these people communicate? I want justice for my granddaughter and any other child that is going through the same situation!REPORT COMMENTS

What cps did to my children was so devastating to their emotional well being. Cps traumatized them more then the situation that I put them in. There abuse of power is no different then my abuse of a drug. Thank god I had a great lawyer and family team to prove we werent what they were saying. After several months of my children being out of there Home cps dismissed our case cause they had no proof onky allegations. They have seen to much bad to see the good.

After reporting more concerns about possible sexual abuse of my children by their father, I was told by the CPS social worker that the case was closed. Further, I was warned to make no more CPS reports if I did not want to jeopardize my custodial rights as a parent. I was accused of trying to get back at my ex and engaging in a "custody battle" and just needed to be mature and learn to get along with my former abusive husband. Making the report was not easy. I was disheartened and distressed to then to be treated with disrespect, bullied in the interview room and spoken to in a condescending manner about an issue I take very seriously as a parent trying to protect my children from a predator. It is unfair, unprofessional, and a violation of my rightsREPORT COMMENTS
