RETURN MY CHILDREN HOME NOW!

I have three small children that were taken from me in March 2016, by Texas cps workers. At this time there were no open cps cases againest me. Only one for my husband who had assaulted me, and one againest my father who had become very combative in his third stage of dementia, that I had made numerous previous attempts to contact CPS along with APS in regards to about him hitting my children, and I continued to be told they couldnt help me with that matter. The second week of February 2016, I recieved a call personally from the district attorney of Marion County in Jefferson, Tx, first asking me to go take a drug test for CPS. I asked her why was I being investigated when my children and I were the victims of these crimes. She told me it was standard procedure in a case like that. I told her no I would not take a drug test for her without a court order first. That DA then threatened if I did not go take the drug test, that the bond I had in February been realesed on when being accused of hitting my eighty-two year old father after calling the Marion county sherriffs department and reporting that my father had exposed himself to my daughter, which was seven at the time. So not knowing I could still say no without going to jail for it, I agreed to take the drug test the next day. I took that test on February 17,2016, in Tyler, Tx. I did fail that one drug test for meth and marijuana. My kids at the time of the results coming back were placed into the temporary supervisory care of my soon to be sister in law Brenda Oxlade Derrick, by CPS. On march 14,2016, CPS without notifying my sister in law or anyone else went to kids school and picked them up from school without a court order, which had been asked for by the school upon their arrival, it was said at that time there was I fact a court order but the order was never given or shown to anyone. They then came to my brothers home also in Tyler Tx and took my smallest child from there still not having a court order in hand. MY kids were placed into a home that I did not request nor did I approve of it being home they could stay at for more than a day or two. I began to call CPS and report this placement to them every disturbing phone call I would recieve, as I was two hours away from where they were placed at. After three weeks of calling and reporting this placement my kids were pissed up and taken to be drug tested that same day, in which they tested positive for Meth, cocaine, and marijuana as well and I was the levels were extrememly high and because of the amount the childrens levels were tested out at, Marion County told me they would not press charges on me if I would work the services for the children that I was issued by the courts of Marion County.... I did work all those services for the courts minus one test I was asked to take after I had already moved two hours away from where the paperwork was sent to. I asked that the paperwork be sent to a center where I was currently residing at and stated to them I would take the test without doubt. I have only failed ONE drug test for CPS since my failed test in Feburary. My husband during this time had became extremely abusive towards me, which I knew was an alter of his mind-state dude to our kids being taken by CPS and us both recieveing affixes claiming numerous things we had never heard about ourselves. Him being abandoned as a child by his mother threw his mind into a Bolivian. While in Tyler Texas I made over two-hundred phone calls out to CPS, friends, family, my pastor even, everyone I could think of I called to come and help me get away from this abuse, yet no one ever came, but even as the abuse occured I still kept current with our services with CPS and the Marion county courts. I do understand why our kids were not returned in June at our court hearing, due to the abuse I had encountered, but I was working to resolve the issue so they could be returned home following that court hearing in June. CPS came afterwards and inspected the home where I along with her daughter and grand daughter resided and we were given an approval of the residence at that time by the CPS worker as well as the CASA worker. I then had to meet with a CPS hired counselor to get his approval for the kids to come there since my husband was not residing in the same home. The counselor stated he didnt believe the kids needed to be returned to me at that home because it was the home of my husbands ex step mother and even though he had knowledge that my husbands step mother and sister were actually the ones protecting me from my husband, he stated he was worried that my husband would be welcome back there at anytime he asked to be, which was far from true. In july after leaving my mother in laws home and walking to the library a few blocks away, I was approached by my husband and I was severely beaten and had to go to the emergency room to find out I had a broken nose and a fractured eye bone. I at that moment told police I wanted him arrested and jailed and for there to be an emergency protective order put in place, just incase he were to get bonded out. I went home to my mother in laws where I knew I was safe at and where I had already been protected from him at previously. CPS refuses to return my kids now even though my husband has been incarcerated since July 28. We returned for our next court hearing August 25, I was at that time notified that I could not have my children back until I found my own home along with my own vehicle and that I only have until October 27, 2016, to obtain those two very expensive items by, along with that judge making me repeat three of the services I had previous completed already over again and I have to pay for them this time as well. As of Saturday August 28, my kids were told they were no longer wanted by the family friend they were placed with BY CPS ONLY and that they had to find somewhere else for my children to go. My children as of Friday September 9, were all three moved six hours from their normal environment to Houston, Texas and upon arrival they were seperated. My two year old was placed in a foster home by hisself and without anyone he knows, while my other two whom are seven and eight years old were placed somewhere together different from their brother. CPS refuses to let me talk to them now they've been moved to Houston. I am not even allowed to see if my children are okay mentally per CPS. I am a mother that made a mistake that I've abided by the rules to correct for five whole months. CPS doesnt care nor do they understand how this going to affect my children mentally, which could even be made to cause physical issues for them in their lives. I made a mistake that DOES NOT make me a bad parent. I corrected that mistake and now im still being denied my children. I WANT MY BABIES BACK BEFORE THEY MENTALLY AFFECTED. My goal is to start this petition againest that county in regards to the return of my children if not to me then to one of family members who are approved to take them but I'd prefer them be returned home seeing as I followed the courts demands. I am a very proud mother of three of the most beautiful, smart, and outgoing children I've personally ever known. They are all Ive got in this world and I have never once raised even a hand to any of my children. My daughter is a cheerleader and a straight A student along with my son who in his first year playing little league football became a superbowl champion at the age of six years old. They love me and I love them. I NEED THEM BACK HOME WITH ME AND THAT IS MY FINAL GOAL.
