Fight CPS/CWS from legally abducting our kids for profit

Stop CPS! The Wrongful & Illegal Taking of Children

This agency needs to be stopped from enforcing child protection laws.
Help shut down the state’s child protection services, stop the serial abuse of families and overturn the unconstitutional laws by which the agency operates.

I am a single mother with mental illness. The stigmas on mental health and parenting are appalling. I have endured and still faced with DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION including numerous violations & speculative allegations.

My son was legally taken under false pretenses by claiming he was at a substantial RISK of abuse. And a closed cps investigation of the the previous year due to my lack of supervision. This year my son was removed with no incident occurring.
The agency already had a foster family assigned before they lied to the court, signing a petition for my child to be removed from an emergency situation.
The agency engages in fabricated evidence, systematic lying, withholding information, violating civil rights, and parental rights.

Confiscating kids and placing them in replacement foster homes is not better for the child’s mental and emotional health.

I am outraged over this legal kidnapping.

I Have an ongoing mental health case with CPS/CWS (Child Welfare Services County of San Diego County Health and Human Services).

Unless social workers believe a child is in immediate danger or at risk of being neglected or abuse is enough to have a child removed from my care. The taking children without evidence just to conduct their investigation is illegal.

When I signed that safety plan I opened up a hornet’s nest.

There was no mental evaluation for this mental health child protective case claiming that I may or may not be able to provide for my child.

CPS are nothing but child stealing, waste of taxpayers money, and do not have the best interest of the child.

They truly are put for themselves for job security.
They get cash incentives for every child they take.
These social workers have lied in court & to the judge to obtain my child.
They have made up excuses to keep my child.

Despite no abuse it has been over several months since PSW Jasmine Flemming , came to my home to investigate an emergency situation.

Unproven allegations

Now my parental rights might be terminated.

The harm they do to happy healthy families is a shame…

My son and I now suffer from PTSD, Emotional Trauma, Terrorism, Psychological Warfare, Separation Anxiety & sadly my family is still currently suffering from this grueling process because of Child Welfare Services.

However, I am fully aware there are children who do need to be removed from wretched situations and need protection, but their protection must be balanced with the constitutional rights of the mothers and fathers.

Child Protection Services (CPS) chooses to ignore those laws the legislature, made. Even when notified of those laws, they fabricated evidence, lie and go about their illegal activities with a brazen arrogance totally without fear of reprimand, reprisal or the consequences of their illegal actions.

Unless you’ve been targeted by Child Protection Services, you cannot even begin to imagine the feeling of pain, grief, financial loss, helplessness and depression caused by having your children removed without due process, and the nightmare involved to get out. This is happening all over the United States.

I recommend the follow amendments to legislature;

1) The Malicious Punishment of a Child Statue, shall include age requirements for children under 6-years old, “If the punishment results in less than substantial bodily harm”. Parents are being caught in the system for minor offenses.

2) A 60 days home safety place shall be mandatory for all incidents. “If the punishment results in less than substantial bodily harm”. This will decrease out of home placements and get parents the help they need to keep there children. Failing this, relative placement shall be the option for temporary removal and adoption, prior to petitioning the court for placement within the foster care system.

3) No Immunity For Lying; Employee misconduct; violation; classification (Currently before CA Legislation for a vote 2017)

A DHS department employee, which includes but is not limited to a supervisor, case worker, or Guardian Ad Litem may not knowingly do any of the following in regard to the employee's official duties on a matter before the department or the juvenile court pursuant to this chapter to influence the outcome of the matter:
1. Lie about the matter.
2. Withhold material information in regard to the matter.
3. Fabricate evidence.
An employee who violates this section is guilty of a class 6 Felony.

4) To require the creation of a detailed Guardian Ad Litem handbook similar to the 68-page document created for the state of California so that people know their legal rights. This information shall be provided to all parents at the commence of any DHS investigation along with state mandated guidelines and DHS legal requirements.

5) Eliminate total / absolute immunity to enforce accountability. In 2006 the Maryland legislature had the courage to eliminate total immunity, replaced it with qualified immunity, and within 2 years all of the unethical GALs left the system and the good
ones who truly wanted to help children 100% of the time stayed in the system. Arizona, California, and Florida, according to an OLR Research Report, also only have qualified immunity. This means that a GAL is “only liable if their negligence was wanton, reckless, or malicious.” Within 3 years, the average length and cost of custody cases in Maryland were cut in half. So, we have valid proof of the cause and effect of implementing this change.

6) Attorneys shall be appointed for all parents during the first hearing upon DHS petition for child removal.

7) Attorneys shall be required for all termination of parental rights proceedings.

8) All parents who cannot afford an attorney will be provided with a public defender.

9) All termination of parental rights proceedings shall be jury trials.

Taking away someone’s child is the same feeling as in every parent’s worst nightmare, Kidnapping! Not even being told where he was, and every night, not knowing where he was or if he was safe. The loss and grief is unending. The damage done to the families emotionally can never be undone. I will never get that lost time with my son's back. Parents deserve the right to a jury trial in family court. Breaking up someone's family should not be decided by just one person.
