my kids were last removed from me on september 26th, on allegations of drug abuse, i had been given my 2nd hair stat test and it was clean. my children were returned to me on ocrober 16th on the terms that 2 of my childrens father went to rehab, if he were to fail or to not go i would not get them back or they would be removed from me again, although my hair stat was clean and all ua's i have dropped were clean..so they took my children on ALLEGATIONS of Drug use on my part but then turned it all onto my chilrens father and left it in his hands, even though he does not live with me and told them in court he did not live with me..im tired of the way I get treated by CPS or DHS, as i have done everything i was suppose to do but my children still get removed from me on allegations of things, on one simple call from someone who says i use drugs, how does that work?? when i have never ever had a dirty ua, and 2 clean hair stats, im tired of my physical appearance being messed with, im tired of my children being ripped away not knowing why and Dhs ruining the bonds i have with my children and their trust in people, what they are doing could be very damaging to my children and ive really had enough..i hope they also get the hell they deserve, and feel the hell of what they have put me and my children through..Oct 30th, 2013Someone from Newton, IA signed.

DHS or CPS is an absolute disgrace. I will never look at these ignorant people the same again. They are liars and no good thieves, taking away innocent peoples children and ruining families and the lives of millions. They are crooked vultures just looking to harm others and our justice system stands back and lets it happen. I would spit on these peoples graves and that of their families in total honesty. Karma will land them duly what is owed to them and i will smile when it comes knocking on their doors. The clock is ticking and i am very patiently waiting. There will be hell to pay!REPORT COMMENTS

I got clean from drugs and alcohol in an effort to get my son back but DHS/CPS said I took too long. My parental rights were terminated. I am still clean today, 10 years later, because I am sure that my son will be curious some day about where he really came from!REPORT COMMENTS

I personally see a very big problem with dhs (cps) system in Iowa. I am now am 34 years old. Raising a 11 year old son on my own. There should be my baby girls here too. Dhs came into my house, they got calls,reports whatever. So we go through everything Judge wants. Two years after proving I am a good mother. They removed my daughters, who today would be 15 & 13. but they left my son in my custody.Something is not right. If i am unfit to raise my daughters why did they leave my son in my home. Still remains with me. Its not right or they are not doing there jobs correctly. Than you see them taken away from people who are damn good parents, but next door is a child being beat or neglected and they walk right on by. Sad. Now it haa been years since my son and i have seen his sisters. we have no idea where they live...nor what hurts the most is what do they look like now. It would be awesome if all these stories were looked into and somethinf actually done. Alot of families suffering because id DHS in IowaREPORT COMMENTS

I am fighting a case with DHS right now where they are trying to have a family memeber of mine adopted and is fighting me every although I have 3 children of my own and neither of them has ever been abused. Their only argument is that because my husband has used drugs in the past my home is not a good placement for the child. I do not have a criminal record and this whole process I have been feeling like I have to divorce my husband in order to keep from loosing our flesh and blood, all because of past mistakes that have never involved hurting a child in any way shape form or fashion. DHS says their goal is to keep families together and I see is them fighting to tear them apart.REPORT COMMENTS

Iowa's CPS, DHS, or however the program is known by its specific County of residence, is 100% corrupt. The whole entity thinks and acts as if they are all above the law and above any Judge's order whether one exists or not. I have never before seen such atrocious actions, all by an agency/entity that supposedly cares and does what is "best" for families. What is more absurd is that they go unpunished for these atrocities. After writing to our Congressman, Steve King, a few months ago on behalf of a family member of mine, he demanded our local DHS unit to proceed through court or drop the case. You know what they did? They dropped the case on the last day of the time-limit King?s office gave them and then opened one right back up within a day or two. However, of course they did this once again through their ridiculous ?Voluntary Agreement" crap because it allows them to circumvent the actual Law and avoids having to actually go through a real due-process involving a Judge. I think every family needs an advocate. That is what I tried to do. Those who are directly involved, the families I mean, are going to be too flustered to do this on their own. So please, anyone who has a friend or family member going through this... BOMBARD all the higher-ups with your letters and advocate for the children and their families on their behalf. My hope is eventually someone who works for DHS/CPS will grow tired of being a little robot and blow the whistle on this whole operation. In the end, that is what it will take ? one of their own to turn on them.REPORT COMMENTS

WOW...Looking at all the comments brings many memories back. Looks like someone needs to better educate the DHS office, but people they have been doing this for years. My children were never taken, but a visitation with a father and step parent until the judge ruled after 9 years. The children were going to a home during visitation, that was not a good environment and that DHS had not properly taken care of the situation. Now this was way back in 1980's. After the order came down, I personally took it to the worker that had choose her sides, she had the nerve to say.(I hope he is going to fight this?). What a witch... When you live in Boone Iowa, any contact with DHS makes you a target the rest of your life. All it takes is one person that convince them your trash you find your name in there little black book. And I truly believe there are parents out there that can hid all there dirty little secrets and children suffer. So if our DHS workers are so educated, why can they not see through this. My fiancƩ is pending a divorce and visitation or custody with a women back in Boone. They have two boys, one is ADD, ODD, some other combined issue. DHS has been in the home, if I am right the school was concerned. But anyway, since Dad has left Mom, moving several states away. Mom has become homeless, DHS has been called to the home for filth, leaving the children under 10 alone and not watching the children properly. Homeless shelters we all know are there to help the parent and child, did not have a choice but to ask them to leave. You would think at this time, DHS would step in and see either Mom needs more assistance in parenting skills or ask that Dad take custody. Why has this not happened? Mom has this curtain that says...Dad and his Women are bad people and will harm the children. Mom says, I am the good parent, but why does our phone have a voicemail of Mom cussing and threating the children, yes about three min long. But, we are the bad people here? Here is just something I am going to throw out...Did we ever think, these uneducated workers are also abusers in there own world, not realizing the difference? We can hope in one hand and crap in the other if anyone will do what is right to better educate this bunch. And too, when they remove a child from a home they supply and demand the economy or create State funding for the county. But, they are taking the wrong children in most cases. It happens so often that children are dying in the hands of the true abuser the State. So why are they not being charged with murder. If anyone one of these DHS workers would be held responsible for the death of a child they made a poor choice for. Bet you there choices would be made better.REPORT COMMENTS

DHS in Iowa is a joke. They take kids from loving parents by lying to the courts and even other DHS caseworkers. I have a friend that lost all of her children because one of her ex's mom made allegations of marijuana use. Without any evidence or even a trial all three kids were removed and her parental rights taken. All the while, the DHS workers were conspiring with the ex's mom to adopt the children. DHS is even PAYING this crazy wench to take care of them after ripping them from their mothers' arms.REPORT COMMENTS
