    These people can now overturn a judge. At a DCF hearing a parent has less rights than a rapist in a criminal case. They dont have to give you any notice to prepare for a hearing that could affect wether or not your child remains in your care. You are rail roaded by a bunch of lawyers, case workers, and supervisors and have zero protection of unnecessary bias opinions. They can write whatever they want to about you and your home and it becomes fact. They arent even required to explain to you why their decision is best for your child after they make it. Sickening.

    DCF is putting children in danger versus keeping them safe. My daughter should be home with her mother who is not perfect but would give my life to protect her.. These workers need to be put in check, my daughter is my daughter and shouldn't be your paycheck.

    My children have been removed from my custody for the second time. And for all of you who have fought that fight, you know it is not a walk in the park. I dealt with the bullying and harassment for almost two years before they found just one more reason to pull the children. My lawyer has been fighting for me. I have quite the large family and resources behind me. I'm reminded every day I'm an amazing, unique, mother who ALWAYS keeps my children safe. But my children can't even trust me when I tell them they are safe. And that I'm always here. This is getting disgusting. Commissioner, senator. They called the obudsman office. And tHank you for that because a week later the children were removed.

    DCS in mass is the ****ing worst had a brother doing heroin lost his kid. his gf is on methadone and so is he now. after my parents exposed them to dcs got the kid taken away dcs has treated my parents like they are the heroin addicts. they listen to the druggie scumbags. and listen to nothing non druggie hard working Americans have to say. this has really opened my eyes when lawyers in the Berkshires didn't even want to take the case cause of how corrupt the court system is here took us like 2 months to find one who would work on the case. even after the judge order visitations they still refuse to let my parents see their grandchild they don't return calls. after all of this im done with America just done with it a bunch of ****ing incompetent people running our gov in mass who don't even follow their own laws and make******up as they go. hands down DCS in mass is the most corrupt agency ive ever seen and the FED needs to step in

    My life was destroyed when my husband sent me packing, after 13 years we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to my husband back to me. One day at work, I was distracted, not knowing that my boss called me, so he sat and asked me what it was all about, I told him and he smiled and said it was no problem. I never understood what he meant by it was no problem getting back my husband, he said he used a spell to get back his wife when she left him for another man, and now they are together till date and initially I was shocked hearing something from my boss. He gave me an email address of the Prophet Abuvia which helped him get his wife back, I never believed that this would work, but I had no choice coming into contact with the sayings that I get done, and he asked for my information and that my husband was able to propose to throw him the spell and I sent him the details, but after two days, my mother called me that my husband was pleading that he wants me back, I never believed, because it was just a dream and I had to rush off to my mother's place and to my greatest surprise, was kneeling my husband beg me for forgiveness that he wants me and the child back home, when I gave prophet Abuvia a conversation regarding sudden change of my husband and he made clear to me that my husband will love me until the end of the world, that he will never leave for another woman. Now me and my husband is back together and started doing funny things he has not done before, he makes me happy and do what it is supposed to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind need, please contact Prophet Abuvia for help. His email is prophet.abuvia AT g m a i l . com his website is prophetAbuviasolutiontemple . webs . com

    dcf is not safe for kids and it has been proven time and time again. I think personally and statically the whole system of it needs to be abolished. There are plenty examples of dcf not being the best option for a child and there upbringing. Additionally children are taken from homes for real minor issues that ultimately would not have realistic affect on the child, but children are put in homes that are proven to be worse than the home they were taken from. I'm not saying that some children shouldn't be placed in foster care, but that should only happen when there is immediate danger to the child and that is the only solution. Other guardians that qualify for the custody should always be the next option before foster care is even considered. Statistics constantly show that children are more negatively affected by dcf than actually helping children and families. I'm calling on all people to come together and bring these issues to whatever branch of government needed to replace this system with a more efficient one able to positively better families.

    I agree that the Massachusetts Department Of Children and Families is a joke they don't ever investigate the real cases of abuse until it's too late and if they do they don't help those children the fact that our govener praised them for doing such a good job is a joke maybe if he went out and actually met some of the good families that they have destroyed then he would change his mind but instead he sits behind a desk and turns a blind eye to the abuse of good loving families who do truly care about their children and allows for the children that really need them to be neglected in favor of more money in the departments pockets so while loving families are being torn apart by these people there are children out there suffering at the hands of real abusers and being called a lost cause because they are in need of services and it takes money to provide these services meaning less money for the department and less of a bonus for the social workers unlawfully removing these children while all the while padding their pockets while innocent children suffer because money means more to them than the safety and security that children should feel not to mention how they destroy other family members by telling them they are not allowed to be around their own family because the department harrassed and abused them before attacking their children's families some one needs to really look at how they abuse not only their power of position over the children of our state but how they abuse families as a whole and put a permanate stop to them once and for all

    We allow these people to take disadvantages of us by putting them in office to represent us we have to realize that they dont care for us or our children. Dcf is not helping they are the distroyer of family's. How can you put a child in foster care when the child has reliable and immediate family that want to take the child. This is like when they would sell the children of slaves.Some one do something this is creating a lot of pain and worst yet the trauma for these children.

    Pittsfield dcf illegally took my kids and the judgement against me was that dcf and the judge doesnt like my family and that i was in dcf custody as a child i was raped and abused in multiple incidents they have the nerve to state such things like because i was abused and rapped in there care i have to have sommething wrong with me even though ive proven with solid evidence my disabilities that i obtained after two years of my kids removals took place shows i can parent my children with depression and ptsd . My daughter who is three hhas been abused since newborn by foster mother Anne, proof of walmart and other public assaults took place witnessed by dcf supervisor she calles 51a in it was unsupported and screened. Out i asked why i was told that they have the right to because its there system data base . No remorese at all sexual and physical abuse and emotional abuse, was witnessed but unsupported i called fbi still nothing i want my kids they stole right out of hospital i see three of them i was refused my daughter they took her out of hospital when i was sleeping woke up gone i. Was told i didnt have a child . Age 16 ! I want my ****ing kids but the system is sick! Who the hell sleeps at night doing******like this i would love to go public like news with this since Berkshire county court system knows about this. Illegal stuff and is assisting this crap! Not sure how someone who was a dcf attorney becomes a judge and help dcf keep kids as a judge and used juvenile information too allow and give dcf these children based on juvenile dcf information and keep children that where born from these parents in dcf custody its a sick unnecessary continuance of illegal removal and frauding the government and irs money! You think we would have due processes right and civil rights and a right to live freely as citizens but no we get our right violated, so if your reading this my name is Krista Smith i am a victim of civil rights violations in the juvenile court of Berkshire county North Adams mass 01247!

    DCF MA also pressures the children and often, parents, to take dangerous psychotropic drugs. This maximizes federal funding and feeds the also corrupt mental health system. DCF also removes parental rights to maximize federal funding as the child, on his/her own, is Medicaid eligible so the Feds pay 80% of this psychiatric "treatment" as opposed to 50% if the child is Medicaid eligible. The last statistics published in MA showed that 39.1% of DCF kids are on psychotropic drugs with many on drug cocktails.
