Fight corrupted cps in riverside county for parents and there children to stay together
Hello my name is Shannon tegeler and I am a mother of 7. In December 2018 me and my fiance had a horrible nightmare that has ruined our life and us as a person. We had went to my 2 oldest daughters school for lunch as they were having a parent and child lunch in day. We had bought them each a press on nail set and some pizza from little ceasers and while sitting and eating lunch with my younger daughter and doing her nails they had called for them to go in so the next grade could come out. We'll my oldest daughter never came out I had my younger daughter go look for her then we asked the yard duty teacher and they called into the office and the office had told them she wasn't feeling good and to go up there.. So me and my fiance went with our new born daughter who was only about 2 months at the time up to the office and I went into the health office to speak with the nurse and she had told me no my daughter hadn't even been in there at all today and as she was telling me that my fiance says " Shannon she is right there". My eyes just started pooring down tears they had my daughter locked in the principals office with 2 social workers and a deputy officer. They were taking my children from us. I was lost, confused, sad, depressed every bad feeling and emotion that a person can feel I felt that day but it felt like ten times worse. They said they were taking my children due to the fact that there was domestic violence in the home.. Me and my fiance looked at each other and were so lost and confused. We had no domestic violence at all we had no police records or police contacts we had no idea what they were talking about. Cps went to the extent to make up fabricated lies and flip what me or my fiance had to say all around into a negative way.. They are sick people there not here to help families there here to ruin them and take there children away and to just place them with people they don't even know...Examine what those kids are going through lost confused sad hurt just being taken away from the 2 people they have been with there whole life since the day they were born... This is sad sad sad and for cps to think this is right we need to start fighting more for our rights because our children need to be with there parents not just some stranger that will never be able to give them the unconditional love and the comfort and feeling like there biological mother and father can...Cps is ruining not only our family but there ruining our children's life the statics on childre. Making it some where in life if they have been in a foster home are so low..Now that cps had my children in there care and I couldn't take them our else I would go to jail I had decided to enroll into some classes I enrolled into an out patient program, parenting, and domestic violence even though me and my fiance had no violence I figured I might as well start doing all this and do it before they have to tell me I need to do it. Well it took them a little over a month to send me referrals to the places and bye that Time I was already enrolled and had attended classes as well.. Cps never offered us any help to be able to get our children back. At the time me and my fiance were going to theses classes we had no transportation and we were staying at a camp site in a trailer... They never asked us if we need a bus pass, help with housing, nothing they were just out to take my children and keep then for good. SO after about 3 or 4 court dates when my attorney tells me were suppose to be given a buss pass and help with housing they made it court ordered. So we headed to the cps office the next day to get our bus pass which was suppose to be for a month and they tell us they only have 2 of them and there day passes only. What is this going to do for either one of us when we were going to classes 5 days a week and some times up to 3 classes a day. So then they tell us to come back tomorrow and they will have them so we go back after our classes as we meet up with our social worker to talk to him and test for him as well and he gives us one bus pass for 30 days thats when I said you no what this is ridiculous and you guys are wasting our time what is one bus pass going to do when there is 2 of us.. This is the second time we have been in this office for bus passes that you guys are entitled to give us which in the first place never even offered us we had to make it court ordered to get. Then I got in a huge argument with what now is our 5th worker in a matter of 2 months and he couldn't give no explanation to anything I had been asking him about my children and before our meeting was up with him he left crying in tears. That following Monday I called the office to speak to him and they had said he no longer works for the department...Doesn't that right there show you guys there is a problem all I had done was just tell him my kids are in your guys hand and you guys have taken our family and broken it to part for what reason what have I done wrong..He couldn't give no answers... So now we're placed with a new worker and she know nothing about our case and wants to throw a wrench in the mix we had been seeing our kids about 5 days a week for as long as we wanted and now she wants to say twice a week for 2 hours a day.. so now every time we leave from seeing the kids there hanging on to me and my fiance crying and asking us why do we have to leave you don't love us no more... Noone knows how that has to feel being a parent and here there children say that it less you have been through it.. There not old enough to understand they are so confused and think that we don't care and were not trying to get them back and they think the worse cause there toddlers and infants so they don't no any better. So in the mean time me and my fiance completed parenting, domestic violence, and almost done with our out patient program while giving them drug test randomly and never failed. Then this stupid covid 19 thing comes into affect and they shut down our out patient program to where we can't attend no more and here comes along a month later trial court for my children and they tell us since we have not completed our out patient program there taking our rights as parents and adopting my children out... .My heart drops my life is ruined I will never be myself again I have spent every day going through any where from 1 to 4 emotional break downs not knowing if I'm ever going to see my children again.. Those are my beautiful 7 children that I was blessed to have and I should be the one to raise them and hold them hug them kiss them no one can give them the affection and love there own mother can...Please anyone and everyone please help me and my children come together again... Even if you haven't had to go through something like this just try and put yourself in my shoes or anyone in that matter that has had to deal with cps and imagine how it would feel to have your family taken and broken apart from you...please everyone take a couple minutes out of your day to read my story and sign my petition...Thanks Shannon tegeler...
