    I am fighting to gain custody of my 2 granddaughters. DCF has placed barrier after barrier in my way to get them. I retained a lawyer for $2500.00 and have had motions sitting in Probate Court since May 24th - it is now 8/4

    I have sick suffering children. They are suffering because 9 years ago the department neglected to investigate on report of sexual abuse. THey did NO investigation. They deemed the mother as unreliable. Now 9 years later this predator was finally charged with sexual abuse. Not with his first victim but his 8th that I know of. That is the tip of the ice burg.

    DCF has been given too much power and they are hurting families. DCF has torn my family apart because I asked them for help. Time for the government officials to step in and put some new rules into place. I am contacting news outlets, government officials, and so on. Let's ban together to stop the injustice!!

    I have two stories to add, but it's no use as the state dcf system is corrupt. Politics will keep ruining good families. DCF claims they have no room in foster homes. Can't provide services they should. Just takes kids away, tells you they foster good relationships and does the exact opposite! They lie, and put false claims against good families and they know there's nothing a family can do. The most manipulative liars along with politicians and so on!!!!

    We were foster parents under the Greenfield Office and were treated horribly. Our home was closed because we had a family emergency and DCF wasn't the first call we made. We fought this as we had been exemplary foster parents and were about to adopt the three children we had in our home (2 of whom had never known any other family) they still have decided our home should remain closed. They care as little about the foster parents as they do the children. There is no empathy, they destroyed our family. Not one person in that office cared about the pain they were inflicting. It was said over and over that we provided exemplary care yet here we are. I hope someone is able to stop them from destroying others.

    I'm in orange ,ma they took all my kids because one of them was having issues eating when he was younger due to a medical reason that we were going to all kinds of doctors for and following there recommendations besides one day when I was home alone with my older 2 getting sick and I had to clean them up and I wasn't going to leave my youngest in the high chair by himself with a teething cookie or something while I cleaned the other two up because he would choke on everything due to a medical condition that was preventing him from eating solids but he was still getting his bottles that day as he should. Now there stil in our life 3-4 years going now and there saying only reason here staying open is because if they close and sonething happened then it would be there liability even though there's no reasoning for them to be concerned on anything happening to them. If I could legally kick them out without them getting mad I so would. I don't even feeelnlike there my kids I feel like there the states because any little thing happens to them and Dcf can come in and take them. DCF is a corrupt piece of******system that needs to be rebuilt and they need to do what there supposed to do help families not destroy them and put fear in them. My kids have issues because there scared there going to get taken again.

    DCF accused me of neglect towards my granddaughter whom I have been raising since birth (she is now 13). The original 51A was opened 2/21/17, I had a fair hearing 5/18/17. It is now 6/2/17 and nothing has been done. My granddaughter is still in my custody and no service has been given to my family. The only thing DCF has accomplish is to have my doctor discontinue my pain medicines because of false claims that I am selling them. I have been on the same medicine for at least 7 years and have gone from 80mg to 15mg. If I was selling them you would think I would want to keep getting the 80mg. I have Disc Degeneration Disease, fibromyalgia, no cartilage in both knees, and chronic myeliod leukemia. By not being able to manage pain has significantly reduce the quality and quantity time I can have with my granddaughter. This is the ninth report that has been brought against me for the same thing and all the other reports have been unsupported and unfounded. Every time one of my family members get mad at me they call DCF. It is no coincidence that the allegations were made at the same time I kicked my daughter out of my home. I have tried to cooperate to the fullest with all their request but enough is enough.. I don't want this case to go on for years just because they can do it. There is a real need to have DCF completely overhauled.

    I have had the worst 2 .4 years ( of the 10 yrs) as a Foster Parent working with DCF and then CFS of Merrimack Valley I thought that the Lynn office was bad, but Dimock St beats them and it's not a good race They lie and their supervisors swear to it. I am going to take legal action as some things were so improper and I was defamed by a supervisor, yet she is still working for DCF. I have also contacted the media and they are going to investigate. I contacted the Commissioner several times but was called back by the Ombudsperson and criticized and yelled at. They wonder why there are no Foster Parents. They do more trauma in many cases than the situation that the children are pulled from. They are a waste of taxpayer money and a shame on this State

    My Grandchildren were ripped from my daughter's home by DCF after a tragedy that happened. DCF came into her apt. went into the kids' room, grabbed some clothes from their chest of drawers, grabbed the kids and told them they were "going on an adventure". A 'plan' was set up which had my daughter busy everyday of the week. She had to drop out of college to meet DCF's demands. The Supervisor for some reason doesn't like my daughter. When they were taken from her home they called me and asked "Who lives in your home?" It's my 29 yr old son and myself. "How many bedrooms do you have?" Three, one is used a bit to store some things. "If the kids were to stay with you where would they sleep tonight?" On the sofa, but I'll get some bunk beds right away. DCF went into court and told the judge I would have the kids sleeping on the sofa. Period! Nothing more!!! My Grandchildren have been gone for just short of a year. For some reason, even though my daughter is complying with all of their classes, demands, etc. it's still not enough. My daughter and I went for the weekly (still 1 hour supervised visit) last Friday. My daughter was tired, hadn't slept much the night before. She jumped into the shower and went with her hair wet. Well, the 'Worker' evidently had an issue with that. She called my daughter into another room after my daughter had taken all kinds of art supplies, toys, etc. out of the bags.. they were all over the table. I was left alone to entertain the kids. I'm older and disabled. Anyway, next thing I know this 'Worker' came to the room and said "OK kids, let's go upstairs and play with the other kids" GONE! JUST GONE! No tight hug, or kiss goodbye! What did I do????? These people are absolutely a corrupt and evil 'Corporation'. We learned from my Grandson that earlier in the yr they were asked "Where do you want to go? Home or on vacation?" Now what do you think a 4 1/2 yr old would say? Vacation! I think I would say that myself if I'd really never been. This little guy has been carrying this heavy burden on his shoulders for almost a year. He told my daughter about it and said "I'm sorry Mommy, I didn't think it would take this long." When we visit the 'Worker' is sitting right there. Everytime I open my mouth, she's watching. Why? Because I correct "MY Grandchildren", ask them to pick up a toy from the floor? My daughter is on her 3rd 'Worker' the previous girl was wonderful, helpful, directed my daughter and treated her as a human being. BAM! She's gone.... A majority of these people are undereducated, rude and just love to grab children. There's absolutely no reason why the children aren't with me. I took care of them everyday while my daughter was in college. The system is a mess and has been for a very long time. It's high time someone steps in and hires people that are 'Properly Educated' and stop hiring kids that only have less than a week's worth of training to be a 'Worker'. When there's someone with an attitude, get rid of them. Yes, people's' lives are at stake. Children, parents and grandparents as well. Wake up!

    It is impossible to get a fair and equal due process if all the 51A is based on is hearsay. and the constitution gives us the right to face our accusers so with that being said, how can we face our accuser if they can call in false reports. There needs to be a new process, because people abuse the system with these maliciously made accusations, and they "annonyomous" people need to be prosecuted for false reporting.

I wish to know you and help you and I believe I can. I believe together we can redress and solve this problem of harm our genuine families. There are a lot of people who have signed this online petition and this volume of people is a strength, I am looking for good men and woman who I will help and will help each other restore their genuine family and through common law and for the sake of God and human rights end this kind of tyranny. A petition to US congress is good to show how many people are against what is happening. The problem is that we don’t know if it will be ignored. Still, you and your sons and daughters have the right to be left alone and believe and do and choose as you please, freely. You have the right to be left alone. So, stand for it and enforce it and empower yourself to make difference. Expecting that A Congress is going to do it for you is a long shot. Smart people don’t leave much to chance. If you are Christian, then you are as a Mom or Dad the representative of God on earth. Act like it! Stand up for yourself right now. You are not helpless and you are not alone. 7000 of your neighbors have signed this and that shows you we are not alone. I and a team of people have committed to make this stop so get involved.

    There is a woman named Lisa Alder whose husband use to be a cop. They ruined my moms life with lies. And of course when you are screwing a cop you can lie and set people up, even thought she had a daycare closed down for child abuse. DCF is pulling strings for this woman. She is a low life scum. Can't take care of her own kids so she wants to take someone else's.

    They are using threatening and coercion with legal action to take my kids away after the investigator verbally stated there was no support for abuse or neglect. They have opened case under "concerned" and if I don't sign their service plan they r going to take my children who are deathly scared of Dcf. My family did nothing wrong, I want to protect my family's rights but I can't find a lawyer that's willing and/or not expensive. Dcf has intentionally lied and now has resorted using scare tactics.

    DCF in Hyannis Massachusetts told my abusive ex husband to take my 3 kids on January 5, 2017 and I can't even talk or see them. I have custody of my oldest daughter who is 16 and spoke up in court that her father is abusive and the judge in canton probate court in Massachusetts gave custody of her to me listen to her and he gave custody to my ex husband which my three other kids are getting abuse by there step mom and father. Jessica and her higher supervisors who works for DCF keeps saying that they aren't involved but they keep speaking to the judge in canton probate court. I been trying to get a probono lawyer to help me but no one is helping me get my three kids back. I am doing my hardest to get them back but it useless because DCF in Hyannis Massachusetts keeps twisting my words around. I also have a permanent restraining order against my ex husband.

    I wish I could say that DCF has done a great job in offering me and my family support, but truth be told they have done anything but. I am a mother who loves her children with all my heart! I struggle with the disease of addiction, but have worked my but off to recover for the past 2 years and they still have my children. They play mind games and riddles rather then cut to the chase about what they want done in addition to the tasks listed on the service plan that I have been fully complaint with. The saddest part of it all is my children will suffer trauma due to the removal and no therapy to assist with the emotions that followed that. Dcf is in no way helpful or resourceful. I wish there was a way to make changes so that the department was able to actually be family advocates and putting resources in place so that mothers and children weren't torn through the system and possibly permanently destroyed!

    My little brother and sisters were taken by dcf because their mother abandoned my 2 sisters in forest park for almost 3 hours and when she got in trouble, she coached my 9 year old sister to say that I touched her so that all the attention would be on me instead of her. Well, it worked. My father served her with divorce papers and she called and got her own kids taken by dcf and put into foster care as a way to get get back at my dad. Now they're saying that the kids can't come home until I'm gone for good. Keep in mind that my 9 year old sister has told dcf that I never touched her and that her mom told her to say I did. I can't even find a lawyer that'll handle my case because I'm on social security and need a lawyer that'll handle my case pro bono. Dcf has been given way too much power and immunity. When the lawyers, judges and police all say that dcf has more power than all 3 combined, somethings broken. If that's the case, why do we even have a judicial system? Just have dcf be the judge, jury and executioner!! It's more than sickening.

    ive filed many 51A's over the concerns of my children while they are with my ex wife. concerns that included sexual and drug abuse. After my divorce I requested DCF reports involving my children and discovered over 11 51A's filed against my ex wife and non of them were supported. Because of my criminal revcord DCF has witch hunted me for years. If it wasn't for my ability to read the law I think DCF would've taking advbantage of me and nay kids. DCF is no good and it seems as DCF needes to be investigated. The new director has increased the caseload on DCF workers which only adds to the loop holes that have exisited for years.

    DCF of Massachusetts should be closed as a terrible corrupt agency. Hard working single women and their children are hurt with no reason. Federal government has authority and power to stop this awful torture and unlawful actions of DCF.

    I live in New York my friend is from Worcester Massachusetts and she's having the most trouble trying to adopt her nephew. DCF keeps changing her workers and keep giving her run arounds. She has a good paying job and two homes one in Massachusetts and other in New York. She told me she spoke to the department supervisor and was received with nothing but attitude and disinterest. I wanna is it that DCF has there agenda with these children to put money in there pockets. I tweeted the governor of Massachusetts and will continue to do so until I see justice made and my from reunited with her nephew.
