Here is an update. I was told by dcf that my kids would be going into a Starr program. I later learned that my son went into starr and my daughter I was told by Beth the director in holyoke dcf that she was in foster care and I couldn't know of the location. I was finally able to talk to my son who told me my daughter is with their dad who has a 51a for physical abuse towards my son pending our conversation was quickly ended. I then talk to my son today and he told me that dad and his sister came to see him and why didn't i. My son told me he was going to give up and go live with dad cuz at least he can protect his sister. I tried to tell my son not to give up and if I could be there I would I don't have dcf permission. Someone please help us as I have done nothing wrong and done everything they have asked me to do. My ex didn't even show for court the day dcf took them. He has not done his physch eval, therapy, or anger management. Why does he get more than I do. I am lost without my kids. During the divorce he would tell me and the kids he never wanted the kids. How does this happen?. Please get dcf to wake up and get my kids back home.Nov 14th, 2015Someone from Douglas, MA writes:
I am not required to take drug tests for DVD. As a recovering addict I decided to go on suboxone for many reasons which isn't important to what happened. I released all my urines to DCF because i want to get my rights back by the end of january and i know I'm clean and sober. I honestly thought having random urines WOULD help my case. Tuesday night I was giving my 2.5 year old her bath when i hear a knock. My BF said it was my DCF worker as well the police. I had no idea what was going on, until my worker told me I failed for cocaine and they were taking her. I couldn't believe what i was hearing I was in such shock. my daughter was screaming mommy dont let them take me. She held into my hand screaming for me until they left. My daughter is deff traumatized. Long story short I went and picked up xooiwa of my urine the next day, which was a holiday and course DCF office is closed. I NEVER failed the drug test. The only thing I was positive for was suboxone and amphetamines, and i am prescribed both. DCF CAME INTO MY JOKE TRAUMATIZED MY DAUGHTER AS WELL AS ME CUZ THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO READ DRUG SCREENS. My clinic also sent them a letter stating that i was I n good standing and i have passed all 3 urines. Well i guess DCF NEVER got those papers. So here it is Saturday night, been 4 days since I have seen or talked to my daughter and I'm sitting here signing this petition all because people who are in charge of so many people's children, cant when read a ****ing drug screen or have the knowledge to call my clinic and ASK them what was up with my test. Oh wait wait I do have a 1 ****ING hour visit next week with her. Are u ****ing kidding me. DCF claims they NEVER got the paperwork. I'm DROPPING off the paperwork at my visit and i want my daughter back. For once I am innocent and HAVE NOT USED. you would think me taking urrinea would HELP my case not hurt me. I'm DEVASTAEDREPORT COMMENTS

I have had dcf in our lives for over a year now. I have a 13 year old boy and a 10 year old daughter. I recently found out that my ex husband has been hurting my son. My son reported this to his therapist who filed a 51a against the ex. It took 2 weeks for dcf to come out to the house. My son has been scared to go to school for his father would come after him and get him. The dcf investigator came and never talked with my son about the abuse, I caught him at the end of the driveway to ask why it was not discussed. I then went to court and the judge ordered both my kids to be taken from me. My son had bruised ribs from the father punching him. I had documents from the doctor my son saw. The dcf lawyer told the judge I brought him to urgent care instead of his primary cuz I was dr hopping and trying to ruin the relationship between my son and his dad. When we divorced the judge ruled that my ex was to do anger management and therapy to see the kids. He has neither. I have done everything they have asked of me. My son has depression, anxiety, ptsd, and mood disorder due to all the trauma he has endored since his father leaving. Yet dcf ignores all of this and is now considering giving the children to him. My son was put in a residential home and my was put in a foster home. These kids are not allowed to see me, talk to me, or see each other. I do not even know where my daughter is. Dcf has to be stopped at tearing families apart. My kids are my world and this will be the first Thanksgiving and Christmas and birthday that they have been apart and away from me. I endured domestic violence while married to the ex, that is why we are not together anymore. I could not take the anger issues anymore. I want my kids home they are my world.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been fighting DCF for 5 years now. They took my 4 children I had in 2010 and 2 born after the fact. I have had 2 just for show trials. Both ending in a termination of parental rights. There was little physical evidence presented, most was testimony from my family who outright admitted to hating my husband. Throught the five years i have been fighting I have gone through at least 10 social workers, and 7 state appointed lawyers. I have never been able to meet with "upper management" in DCF despite asking numerous times. I have completed my service plans, maintained a safe home, and had great visits with my children. Yet DCF and the judges in the Juvenile Court say that I am unfit. My kids have not made one accusation against me or their father nor did any professional who saw them before they were removed from my home. My children had the same doctor since my first son was born in 2003 up until they were removed by DCF and DCF changed their doctor in 2010. My children were placed with my mother who receives enough money in Foster Care payments to quit her job, and my sister who used her foster care payments to get out of bankruptcy. DCF also put my step daughter in her mothers KNOWN sexually abusive home. When my step daughter made claims of abuse DCF then blamed my husband. EVEN though her claims were wild and the District Attorney did a SAIN interview and found her uncredible. Which led to NO charges being filed against my husband. He was not even questioned! DCF has pushed this case to further their wants and to keep paychecks flowing in. It has been decided that if my children were to be adopted it would be Subsidized which means my mother and sister would continually receive checks from DCF for my children. DCF is corrupted and needs a complete overhaul. They hurt the families who are just trying to get by and they leave the children who need the help to fall by the wayside.REPORT COMMENTS

When I got married my only knowledge of DCF was they were there to help and protect families. This knowledge was based on what I've seen in other families growing up. After I got married my knowledge of DCF increased to a nightmare level. I HAVE SO MANY REPORTS FILED ON MY EX WIFE BY MYSELF AND OTHERS THAT WERE NEVER SUPPORTED. REPORTS THAT INVOLVE ABUSING ME AND OUR KIDS. DCF NEEDS DCF! I HAVE ALL THE LOOPHOLES IN MY REPORTS. IF THEYRES AN ATTORNEY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH ME PLEASE CONTACT ME.REPORT COMMENTS

I, as a grandparent was abused by DCF. I was lied to and had to defend myself based on a workers lies. If I didn't have lawyers to bring it before a judge who was disgusted with the way DCF treated us, I would still not have the children. The children have mental scars from abuse by DCF workers, especially one named Christina out of Bradford, Ma. God save our children from these Lying, Childless Animals.REPORT COMMENTS

Dcf, has relocated my niece without any notice to the father, they were working to re unify the parents. Who have been drug free and sober they moved to MA to work with the caseworker to get there daughter back. And the caseworker has moved there daughter to Maine 300 miles away. They were sering her 4 to 5 times a month. And now if they are lucky they will see her 1 time per month. The currently had a new baby that's in there custody born sober and drug free. And they should have been able to have there daughter back but the grandmother in maine doesn't let uo and continuously harassed them about past issues they had. They currently live in a house with support. They have been doing all requested things the caseworker has asked them to do. This is a joke and uncalled for actions are being taken out on them when they have and are trying to be good parents.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a foster parent. I put my notice of resignation in over a month ago and aparently am not allowed to quit because they have yet to find a home for the child. So I asked for respit... 4 months and still no respit. I am told "I will call you back Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, next week..." not holding my breathe. Also, I have seen many loved ones lose their children to DCF for unjust reasons. DCF is not interested in whats best for the children. The system is so up side down, it needs a lot of work.REPORT COMMENTS

My case has been going on for 3 years when my second son was born and it just keeps getting worse I am a single mother of 23 and I have 3 young boys 5,3,1 I work 40 hours a week and I go to school 3 days a week for 3 hours a day trying to get my bachelors degree in business. My worker comes once a month sees my children and leaves it doesn't matter that I'm a young mother I just get to experience things earlier then others I am very mature and my kids have what they want and need because I provide it for them. I am so sick of this twisted system I recently had another 51 A filed because my middle son had a scratch on his face from my niece my worker asked me and my mother were he got it our stories where the same got a call from my workers supervisor to bring him to the doctors for a SCRATCH so comply is what I did I made a doctors appointment the next day. I have done things that are on my service plan like go to therapy and also things that I was made to do off my service plan like go to a domestic violence class and have a drug abuse evaluation which just came up 3 years later. I am a good mother and it is impossible to get rid of these vermin child snatchers once they are in your life I have enough things to do without someone holding my hand trying to teach me to parent when most of them have no children of there own not knowing what its like to have three little boys and instead of watching kids that are dying they bother me for 3 years make my life miserable and if I went and flipped out on them I would need anger management classes. These are not my children these kids that I carried for 9 months and changed diapers for years and still am that I paid to feed, bathe, and clothe are the governments children I have no say in how I raise or discipline the children I bore I can understand the difference between discipline and beating my kids I am fine and my mom tore my hide but I respect her and elders and I have proper manners. I am tired of the DCF they don't know what they are doing and I am sickened by the fact that they would place so many children in homes that have died and we are still letting them take other peoples kids away thank god I have not experienced this because I would go out of my mind without my three loves and they would never go without a fight if they tried.REPORT COMMENTS
