Child protective services has over stepped their bounds and are fudging up number to make it look like they are needed, by lying about the amount of abuse cases. Child protective services break so many constitutional laws and laws written to back the constitution just to steal our children and break up families. Children are being ripped away from loving families because people claim their is abuse, with out proof, and Child protective services with out due process take children form their homes. When A crime has been committed it show be left up to the police department to investigate, and give parents their due process. There is no need for child protective services to in existence, especially when our founding fathers was against such governments in the first place. They make laws which some how has ignored what the constitution says, we reserve our rights of not being harassed and be accused of a crime in which they fabricate. They court system they use is a kangaroo court with no real justice, and they use threats and intimidation to kidnap children from loving homes, merely because they can, it has to stop. They aren't suppose to exist,they do not protect children once they get them they put them in hellish foster homes, with people who only care about the money they get for each child taken. When a parent stands up for their rights they fight back with fabricated evidence to take their children away. There so much corruption that it is in our power to abolish a government when has become corrupted. Now here is your chance to tell congress to abolish a government that is corrupted. Better laws need to be in place so that the small percentage of children being abused are protected. But a branch of government call child protective services needs to go, they don look out for the best interest of the children , they look out for their best interest.

CPS removed my daughter because they said they were trying to terminate my ex-husbands rights of all his children. My daughter was not one of his and they left me with my 2 boys. I never did anything wrong. I was never charged with anything. The courts, cps and my court appointed attorney kept postponing court for a yr and half waiting to see what a different courts opinon was. They had placed my daughter with her bio-dad and I kept asking for her to be returned home with myself and her brothers. (I had sole legal and physical custody of her at the time). They kept telling me to wait. By the time it was over they never terminated his rights on his children so they dropped the case. My daughter had then been with her dad for so long he had established a custodial enviorment so the courts gave her to her dad and I get to see her every other weekend. I also have been paying on court appointed attorney fees of over $800. If I could have afforded an attoney I would have at least hired one that would do something besides agree with the court and ignore me. I never did anything wrong and for some reason lost my daughter who is distraught and wants to be home with her mom and brothers. She is sufferinig from severe mental problems because of what the courts have done. I was charged to protect myself with a court appointed attorney and have been put through hell the last 2 yrs... How is this legal?

CPS is a systematic crime program that removes kids via their designated hotline. The children really belong to the government and not us, that is why they have that hotline. You are only the caretaker of the children, but they have ownership of them, as you can see how they remove them and keep your case in the system. They just take the kids without charging you with a criminal offense, and trial, jury, just come in your given orders to do whatever is demanded and then your scarred for life.

My great neice was taken today because my neice in laws mother who is a convicted childmolester said my house is unfit. I have to ad this is after she called the cops told them we had the baby at gun point threating to kill her. She used the retarded cops to kidnapp the baby and without a investigation they did. Then the other county claimed by her own words that we all are unsafe and the 16 day old baby cant return. They have yet to actually explain anything to any of us. Screw CPS for not protecting the kids that need it!

My wife and I are going through CPS harassing us. It all started when a neighbor complained that stray cats were walking through our yard. I would feed them and more and more would come. So the neighbor called Animal Welfare and by doing that since we have a 9 year old,CPS got involved. Now the house was messy because I got tired of doing the cleaning alone without my wife helping. So I went on "strike" so to speak. Well when the CPS worker saw the home she automatically was ready to take my son. While talking to my wife and I,I began to get upset. So I was going to go for a walk. Now remember, mind you,this is MY house. I OWN it and do not rent. This woman FORBADE me to leave. Eventhough there was NO crime, this is a CIVIL matter and she has NO power to detain me. So she said she'd give us a "break". The "break" she gave us was to clean this house top to bottom and she'd return the FOLLOWING day. Now that would be a "break" except for a few things. One: It was already around 11pm and she wouldn't stop LECTURING two grown ass over 30 ADULTS. Two: my wife had to get up for work at about 6:30am. We cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. We finished at about 3:30am. The house was spotless. So she returned and I am thinking that this is over. But WRONG. One: I can't have my video games,DVDs and CDs in my tote. Two: I can't have my junk mail and other "whatnots" on top of my entertainment center. Three: I can't have my computer on the desk in front of the TV (I guess the cords are a "hazzard" to my NINE year old son???) Then just EXACTLY what can I do in MY OWN HOUSE. Now come to find out a MONTH later she is going to come by yet AGAIN. I want this to STOP!

We received a knock on the door by a lady representing CPS due to a domestic dispute between myself and my childs mother. My child was no where around when the dispute happen and therefore was in no danger. The CPS rep invaded my house without permission or a warrant and began to interagate my girlfriend and I, then proceeded on exploring the house we live in without permission. She even went as far as interagating my 2yr old daughter. She threaten to have my child taken away if I or my girlfriend did not leave the house and stay away until the investigation was complete. Talk about BS. This is all an attempt to collect money for a county that is failing and laying off thousands of county employees.

Cps takes children away from homes and places them in foster homes when their are loving grandparents or relatives who could be caring for them. Often it is during the years when they bond with family and learn the most. I personally know of an 9 mo. old who is in foster care and when I visited she is not the smiling happy little girl I knew. I do not know how CPS can allow only two hours of supervised visits a week (where they document) and think they know how this child is being treated within the home. Not all the family who loves her can visit. Once long ago I needed CPS for a grandchild in a drug house and they promised to visit on Sat. or Sun morning after partying when all the druggies would be present. Only they changed their mind without telling me and went one afternoon. When the person saw them coming the did not answer the door so the CPS worker left a note and the person cleaned themselves and the baby up and went to CPS office. The child had been in three drug houses with chances of great harm and I got no where with them...Back to the 9 mo. old baby.
CPS does not always work with families to try to get the children back into homes. They do not work with the mothers (if they feel they are the abuser) to see that they are fit to care for them. What is they have a child taken away and just have another. They need to be taught how to care for the children and what to do if the child gets on their nerves. They also take one look at child equipment and toys and make fast judgements that the toy did not cause an accident (spiral break of a limb). I have documented evidence that some spiral breaks were caused by the same toy the baby used. The mother could not say what caused the breaks so she is naturally unfit to care for this child any longer. This is all scrambled but I am so angry with CPS that feel they don't know what is really right from wrong...Please do away with CPS and do this world a favor. Children need protection from CPS.......

I have had multiple complaints/investigations from my local CPS for the past couple of years.
Complaint 1: December 2002. Complaint was my children witnessed us cutting off our pet cat's head with the ceiling fan. When CPS came out it was the day after my great-grandmother passed away and I was helping my mother w/funeral plans. The social worker commented on all the wrapping paper on the floor. We explained to her that our 2 boys asked to open their christmas presents early and we gave them the okay (about 30 minutes prior to her arrival.) When she then told me the complaint I asked her if she wanted to meet my headless cat and when I called my cat he ran down the stairs head intact.
Complaint 2: Jan 2003: 2 weeks after the first complaint I got a call from the school district wanting to confirm my address, they received a call that I wasn't living in the school district and was using a fall address, 2 weeks after that CPS was back at my door for a bruise my oldest son received at school. I told the social worker that my son was being picked on by a boy in the grade higher than him and that I had already reported it to his teacher.
Complaint 3: 2007 during a parent teacher conference for my middle son who refused to do his homework because he was able to pass all of the test's without studding the teacher recommended counseling for him because she felt he was unusually quite. My son was in the 3rd grade and the year prior he got in trouble for correcting his teacher's grammar in front of the class (my son was correct.) My son felt that the homework was useless and he would refuse to do his homework (would rather sit there for an hour staring at the wall.) I asked my son if he wanted to see the counselor he said no that he just doesn't feel like talking in the class. After I told the teacher "thank you for the referral but at this time my son doesn't feel comfortable speaking with anyone" a week later CPS was @ my door. The complaint this time was "you are refusing medically necessary counseling for your child." The worker asked me if I was advised by his doctor that he needed counseling and I told her no, but his teacher recommended counseling because he was unusually quiet in class. She closed the case.
Complaint 4: May 2009: Complaint: "My oldest son is abused by my boyfriend and my boys are left home alone". I have been w/my husband (not legally married personally don't believe in the laws behind marriage) for 12 years, my oldest son is 13. 2 days prior to CPS contacting me my father (who is homeless and a drug addict) and I got into an argument about him seeing my oldest son. My father is the only person that refers to my husband and "the boyfriend" During the argument my father threatened me with comments "you can't stop me from seeing my grandson, you better becareful because I wouldn't want you to lose your kids." The CPS worker spoke w/all of my boys and with myself regarding any violence in my home. They also asked who care's for the boys from 3pm-5pm. My father-in-law at that time was staying with us and watched the boys. if on rare occasions he had to run to the store to pick up his prescription my oldest son who is 13 would watch his younger brothers. The worker said that was okay, because from talking to my son she see's he is a responsible teenager.
Complaint 5: September 2009- This complaint came in today. My kids were again questioned while they were at school, my 5 year old (who loves to tell stories and feels that anytime someone does something wrong the police should be called including when his brother's will not allow him to play with one of their toys), my 10 year and my 13 year old were questioned. The complaint this time through the conversation I had with her on the phone was "yesterday afternoon, there was an argument between myself and my husband and I was rushed to the emergency room." I didn't get home from work until 8:30 last night. Also in the complaint was "that when my boys are playing outside in the front yard or @ their friends house we are not outside supervising them." I live in a quiet residential street. The only car's that drive on the street are from people who live on it. All of the neighborhood kids play outside, either in front of my house, in front of their friends house, in the court or anywhere inbetween. I asked her over the phone, if there was a California law stating that when a child is playing with their friends in the front yard or riding their bikes, skateboards or scooters that all the parents of the kids need to be in the front yard or running along beside them. The worker said she would speak to me about it on Monday when she does a home visit with me so I can tell her my side of the story.
I feel with the way CPS laws currently work, the social workers follow up on every single complaint they receive, without looking to see what a bogus complaint it is. Everything is in their files. I found this out the first time they spoke w/me when they started talking about a case in the 90's. I told her then that this was the first time they ever contacted me, but my name was in the system from when my father called CPS on my mother during their divorce in the 90's and the county workers didn't pay attention to those details, only for the fact that my name was brought up again. They should really take the time to see what motive is driving the call, the complaint etc. Even more so when they refuse to give the victim (myself and my family) any information on who is making these complaints.
Every time I speak w/them they apologize and tell me they are closing the case but they have to follow up because it's their job. They are wasting my time, almost getting fired from work because of this drama, wasting tax payer's money as well as traumatizing my children. Now my 5 year old is telling me that this house is not safe for him because the lady said so.

In 2004 I PERMANENTLY lost 2 daughters to CPS. Without going into everything, they were not physically abused, malnourished, abandoned, etc. I had trouble with alcoholism/postpartum depression at the time, was receiving counseling, and feel I could have gotten through this without having my children permanently jerked from my life. CPS caused more harm than good. I feel in many ways it is a complete scam. The attorney I had was horrible. I suppose I could take legal action due to the way things were handled- far from legally, but I just want my daughters to be safe and have a stable life. I was adopted as well and I know what it is like to be an adopted child. I was removed from an extremely physically abusive home, suffered malnourishment and neglect. Thankfully I will not have to excuse those types of behaviors should I ever meet my biological children and hope to be a strong person for them one day.
BTW, though in my care they were never abused, they were physically abused in the foster system and passed around atleast 10 foster homes in a years time.

My son is being falsley accused of abusing his 4 yr old daughter. She has been to 2 doctors who have both said there are no signs of abuse. The cps worker has the kids going to therapy to prepare the children ages 4, 5, and 8 as to what they are supposed to say during their cac interview. During the MDT hearing the mother was told that the only way she will get her kids back is to confess that she saw her husband molesting their daughter. Cps said they will accept nothing less! This has got to stop! I am not even allowed to see my grand children just because I gave birth to their father.

We took our 7 month old granddaughter to the emergency room because her leg was swollen and we didn't know what happened. Her leg had a radial fracture. That was enough reason for CPS to take her away from our family and treat our daughter like a criminal although they knew did not hurt the baby. Now we are waiting for court dates and case workers. We are a loving family. We are law abiding citizens and well liked in our community. We have raised wonderful children ovver the years and now we are torn from our first grandchild by a faulty system that has few restraints or regulations.

My family was illegally torn apart by CPS. For the last 2 years my family, especially my 3 children, have been the innocent victims of institutionalized and government sanctioned abuse. This system does not work and I believe it cannot and should not be reformed, but rather completely abolished. Why should the government or agents of the government be in the business of telling parents how or if they can raise their families anyways. This has nothing to do with true Democracy, but everything to do with tyranny and oppression. The American people should be nothing less than outraged at the atrocities that are happening every day across the land, and we need to demand that it stop now.

what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty???? Pennsylvania makes their law according to which way the wind blows and who's panties are in atwist. The majority of case workers for POike County Pa anre NOT married and do NOT have kids!!!! Funny how they would know how to raise a child the "RIGHT" way! They say they are protecting the children but when they deviate from a routine of strict medical care and household routines that as child has become accustomed with and do not instill the same in their high faloutin foster homes, how can they lay their heads down at night and sleep!!!!!???? They need to get off their asses and take more responsibility if they are going to accuse parents of NOT being responsible. Either provide the same level of care or BETTER buit for petes sake dont make it worse!! Corruption in Pa is a wonderful thing... to a REAL family you cannot put a dollar sign on a child... how the hell can foster parents??? Money isthe root of all evil and children are not! They need to rethink their values and and have their own children ripped from them.... oh wait I forgot, most of them DONT have kids !!!!!!

CPS verbally told us him or her could be around the kids, he has one of them, police said i cant get him back, i still have the 12 yr old with me but he could take him any day.

My father is a victim of this bullshit "service." He has had to be away from his daughters for 16 months. His one year old is growing up without a daddy. He is a good man and because the system wants to charge him for their mistake they continue to push his court date back. All charges have been dropped in the family court and are just left for the CPS hearing. Convenient how they continue to push it back and back because first they say it is important enough to take him away from his children then it's not important enough so they need the date for another more important incident. An innocent man is being harassed and abused by this corrupt system.

I am yet to understand how such an agency survived in a country that brags so much about liberty and freedom! It matters not how much you lecture others on something you do not understand. Not even third world countries dared venture this much into others' homes! This is why there they have a strong sense of privacy; Ours has been taken away by the government. An agency that can take your children! A threat to coerce you into complying with strangers on how to raise your children! Whether you can or can not use corporal punishment on your own children!

CPS is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! How about innocent until proven guilty? Yet CPS kidnaps children to make a few thousand bucks PER KID(FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THIS MIND YOU!), convieniently does not have to appear and testify in court, all without DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW! CPS is UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VIOLATES EVERY PARENTS' LEGAL RIGHTS BY EXISTING AND OPERATING! THEY MUST BE ABOLISHED! When Congress passed the 1997 Adoption and Safe Families Act, it allowed states to terminate parental rights after a child has been in foster care longer than 15 months.
But the law, intended to keep children from truly abusive homes from languishing in foster care for years, had unintended consequences. (Thanks Bill and Hillary)
States receive a $4,000 cash bonus from the federal government for each child adopted, multiplied by the percentage that the state exceeds its adoption goal.
The system gives child protective agencies a powerful financial incentive to terminate parental rights, something which they did more than 79,000 times nationwide in 2006, according to the federal Administration for Children and Families (ACF).IN CALIFORNIA: Dr. Shirley Moore, national director of legislative affairs for the American Family Rights Association (AFRA), says many Los Angeles judges who rule on family court cases also sit on the boards of phony non-profit organizations created to generate state adoption/foster care grants via federal funding. California’s 2003 Little Hoover Commission Report said up to 70 percent of children in foster care should never have been removed from their homes. CORRUPTION runs through the veins of CPS workers and anyone who supports them. If a person commits murder or robs a bank, prosecutors must prove their guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not so in the Alice-in-Wonderland world of CPS, where individuals and parents are considered guilty as charged by anonymous tipsters whose hidden motivations are never brought to light. It costs child protective agencies $20,000 on average to keep a child in foster care, versus $8,000 for in-home services for troubled families. This means that a host of lawyers, social workers, therapists, psychologists and other professionals make a lot more money when families are broken apart.
And although CPS’ stated goal is family reunification, the reality is that these agencies reap a second financial windfall when the forced separation between child and parent becomes permanent.And since infants and toddlers are much easier to place in adoptive homes, they’re often targeted for removal by overzealous social workers based on flimsy or anonymous evidence of parental abuse or neglect.
The 15-month clock, which starts ticking as soon as a child goes into foster care, can easily be run down by months of forced psychological testing and the filing of legal motions and other delaying tactics.
These tactics give a clear advantage to CPS bureaucrats, who have unlimited time and financial resources to wage what often amounts to legal warfare against stunned and beleaguered parents who basically have to prove their own innocence. It has been proven that most CPS child abductions are on families with limited finacial recources to wage and win a legal battle against people with deep pockets, State and Sederal funding. Arrests have been made time and time again, with Grand Jury involvement against CPS workers who have ADMITTED to faking evidence to keep their files open or to get an end result they want, sometimes against even personal enemies.CPS IS CORRUPT AND AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
