Termination of Parental Rights is unconstituitonal without due process!All child abuse cases reported by CPS ought to be criminal charges before any removal of children. There should be a trial by jury to contest all CPS abuse charges. The Bill of Rights under the U.S. Constitution must me enforced to protect families from government child abuse and family separation. The right to remain silent, the right to a speedy trial, the right to face all accusers, the right to have an attorney, the right to privacy, and search warrants all must be enforced. There should not be any extortion or plea bargains made by CPS using children. All visits with children should be arranged by the court and the parents' lawyer. The visits should be supervised with a court monitor or the parents' lawyer present, the visits should be weekly, the visits should not be at any CPS facility violating the 4th and 5th amendment rights of the Constitution, and the visits should all be audio and video taped for court documentation. There should not be any parenting classes, psychological testing/evaluations, court stipulations, CPS contracts arranged or signed, paternity testing arranged by CPS,and medical release forms signed without a trial by judge or jury in a criminal charged proceding giving a verdict of guilty beyond reasonable doubt. If a jury trial or trial by judge rules innocent, the CPS charges must be dropped and the parents' name must be expunged from the Central Registry for child abuse. Hearsay evidence must be ruled out in the court. Termination of parental rights or removal of children should not be due to mental illness of the parent. Psychological testing and psychological experts paid by CPS ought to be ruled out in court. Psychology and psychiatry is not a hard science but based upon opinions/hearsay unlike the medical sciences. The juvenile system is a "star chamber" system which is unconstitutional not allowing the public to supervise the case. The parents ought to have the right to appeal to a higher court, the Court of Appeals of the state after a jury trial or trial by judge was made to contest criminal CPS abuse charges. CPS, hospitals, doctors, social workers, CPS lawyers, public defenders that are negligent, school teachers, neighbors and anybody else who file child abuse charges without pressing criminal charges ought to be sued with immunity eliminated for kidnapping providing false allegations and put in jail for not following proper due process under the Constitution Bill of Rights. No child should be taken at birth if the parent already have child in foster care and fighting CPS without criminal charges and due process of the law. The parents should have to right to select the foster care family, attend all of their children medical appointments, have the right to select an adoptive family if they choose to, the right to have open adoption,  CPS should not remove children due to poverty, being on welfare, being single parents without support systems,and unemployment. Family preservation services must be enforced with the same amount of money foster parents receive to keep families together. CPS gets bounties and bonus for each foster child and adoption made and this is their motive for overzealousness and termination of parental rights. Bounties by the state and bonuses must be eliminated and the money CPS would make profiting for long term foster care or termination of parental rights should be given to the biological families and the children for family preservation. If the family need assistance with housing, this should be arranged and paid by CPS, along with daycare, assistance with obtaining employment, and family support systems. CPS workers should have a college degree and be evaluated yearly. Parents should be able to do a background check on all CPS workers handling their case. CPS workers should be under supervision with a supervisor present at each visit.

 my daughter has   3 children in foster care with her rights to due process violated and I want to prevent them from being adopted and in long term foster care.

I refuse to quit and I support your petition 100%. Where can we get help in depth to help save our children?

My son may be losing his parental rights because the birth mother is full of hate for him and myself. She gave the baby away not knowing for sure if it was my son's baby or the man she was married to. She and my son did not stay in contact as she was married to someone else, so he tried to cause as less confusion as possible. The baby was born, she never called and notified us that he had been born. We found out a week after the agency picked him up. We can file an appeal. The lawyer we hired did not know what he was doing, and he we are. Left empty and broken hearted. In North Carolina General Statute 48-3-601 subsection 2.4 is used to terminate rights in contested adoptions. I wish I had some other way to get this information out in the state of North Carolina.

My niece and nephew are in foster care. their mother in prison. the grandfather wants the chldren but because he has traffic offenses and some criminal background 20 years ago they will not give them to him. they are filing termination on Oct 15, 2008 and their mom is still in prison for drug possessioin. We are lost as to what to do because the rules and guidelines change dialy with them and we are so afraid of losing those children.

My children were taken by CPS, and two times during this process I was told I had dirty drug test...I had to go and pay out of my own pocket to prove these test were not true. Even after doing so, My kids were still taken from me. There is presently another minority couple experiencing the same treatment from the CPS office in this small predominatley white race town. A white girl who is still using ice, was given her kids back within two weeks, she even admitted to be using and they told her her drug test were inconclusive.

The Office Of Community Services (OCS) came in and took my God Son's 4 yr old from the mother. (They are divorced and share joint custody) The father was not notified until after the state of Louisiana came in and took the child into protective custody. In the Instander Order they accused him of all the charges against her as if it were a joint effort and he was not even in the home or knew anything about it. Now we are having to pay out all this money while the child sits in State Custody to try to get him back with the family. The have violated his rights as a parent and to notify him of the situation they were investigating. What is worse is the child is PKU and the mother already had another child removed for medical neglect. Now is being punished and accused for her wrong doing, and they will not give him his son.

IT'S ABOUT TIME WE AS CITIZENS OF AMERICA TAKE A STAND ON CHILD-STEALING/SELLING!!!! I can't have our name shown due to our JUST getting our child back after fighting for him for 2 1/2 years............we're still on their RADAR SCREEN. If we cannot disapprove publicly of ANYTHING they do or we are subject to losing our child AGAIN. I pray this petition gets the attention of those who can change CPS's illegal practices and remove the money incentive which is nothing BUT CHILD-TRAFFICKING.

I have such a hate for CPS.If there is a system that needs a serious overhaul it is the so called "Children and Family Services" otherwise known as "Child Protective Services". These people hide behind the word law and try to intimidate or illegally lie to have your children taken from you. I think that it is a shame that the Justice System actually think that just because this these people represent the "State" that they don't lie! BS, they do!! I wholeheartedly will sign this petition and hope that enough people also sign this bill to confront CPS on their garbage!!!

I believe anytime a child is taken from their family there should be a jury trial. WE lost our nieces and nephew to the system and to what we believe is an abusive foster home. I believe if we had a jury trial we would not have lost the children out of our family. I believe there was biast in the system because the foster mother had been a GAL in the system.

The CPS worker LIED to the courts and said I was "not" where I WAS. I had 4 wittinesses and the CPS worker was there. But the judge did NOT let me call my wittinesses.

CPS TOOK MY CHILDREN ON 05/21/08. WE HAVE A RECORDING WITH THE CASE MANAGER INDICATING THAT THE CHILDREN WERE TAKEN BASED ON FALSE CHARGES. THE COURT WOULD NOT LISTEN TO THE RECORDING. WE WERE DENIED LEGAL DUE PROCESS, CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. IN ADDITION, MY CHILDRENS DISABILITY (ONE SON WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AND ONE WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER) AND MY WIFE'S DISABILITY (BACK INJURY FROM WHEN SHE WAS A LPN AND CAUGHT A PATIENT FROM FALLING) IS BEING USED AGAINST US SO THAT CPS CAN KEEP THE CHILDREN.

Illinois did this to me,Ihave been fighting for 5 years and they threw me out on the strret and kept saying they were going to get me norman funds for housing.there were never any charges but they took my kids on the basis that i threatened someone and the children were adjudicated neglected and /or abused.They helped me get 2 nights housing at a meth infested hotel.They never helped any further. They always had additions to the service plan that I was willing to do but needed help such as transportation,but they said they were neither required nor willing to help me achieve my service plan.I did make reasonable efforts,however they changed the goal anyway from return home to subsidized guardianship.They said so that I could keep my rights..Then when I had my son,a false report was made and the case was unfounded and they wouldnt let me have a home study or opportunity to prove my fitness,to keep my mother from taking my youngest.She has not succeeded and will not.I am a good mom.The dcfs worker said I am doing a great job,that is why they wouldnt open a case for me so that I can get my girls back.Then they talked me into subsidized guardianship in order to maintain my parental rights.So i did.Then they said, when it became final ,that I have no rights to see my kids and that guardianship is permanent,which they never told me before I signed.They stole my children!I never hurt anyone in my life!Now I have my son,always have ,he is 3 and have also passed dcfs background checks to be a licenced childcare provider,and dcfs still will only advocate for the guardianship even though they consider me a fit parent,they are paying subsidy to my mother to keep my kids who has a criminal record far worse than me and they offered her to adoption preservation services but will not even speak to me,even after the false report on my youngest.It is wrong and they DID rip apart my family.My children are SEVERELY alienated from me, by my mother,OBSESSED ALIENATOR, and DCFS continues to support her every effort to deny me a relationship with my kids.This time it has been nearly 5 months since I have laid eyes on my 2 oldest children and the court does not look at the situation with care ,nor have they allowed me due process.they said I can see my kids once a month at DCFS with the supervisor to be the ADOPTION PRESERVATION therapist who refers to me as the birth mother and asks the court that no visitation be allowed at all.I am being discriminated against and I wouldnt even be in this situation had DCFS done what was right in the first place.I see drunkards,drug abusers,drug manufacturers who have their kids,yet they took mine ALL THESE YEARS and I have had not even one charge against me!Something needs to be done,not tomorrow....its too late for some already.My children are severely damaged from this,my mother was always emotionally abusive to me now she gets paid to treat my children the same,and the court supports her emotional abuse toward me to this day.This is my story,I see a few more from Illinois and intend to contact them to look for this similar pattern of mistreatment in Illinois.THIS IS NOT THE LAST PETITION!

I think the children should have their own mom raise them if she is abiding by what they ask her to do. kids need their own parents if they are willing to change. we should give them a chance.

My sister's Grandchildren got stolen. I fostered the newborn baby & they lied to me so I would give her up to her paternal Grandparents. They came into my home, made accusations, & belittled me as a foster care privider. I am sick & tired of my Government not working for U. S. citizens..I want to stop paying them my hard earned tax dollars..until they can represent those people who make their wallets so fat.

CPS is manipulated by the Courts and serves the interest of itself only. I attempted to file a complaint against a Mother who smoked three or four Marijuana Joints before DRVING HER TODDLER to school. They asked me if she seemed impaired. They asked me if she seemed impaired how many drinks would it be equivalent to? Its obvious to me that if my complaint was not seen as valid for filing, CPS should be reasessed as a need in this Country.
