Whereas We The People of the United States Of America declare all child abuse to be a criminal act; and whereas we find the Department of Human Resources and Child Protective Services is a federally funded service agency that destroys families and severs children from their family body without Due Process of Law, by ambuscade, allegation, obscurement of facts behind the laws of confidentiality, for the benefit of federal and state funding streams, and receiving bonuses and bounties without charging anyone with a crime. Therefore, for the protection of Children and Families from abuse be it enacted a Constitutional Amendment by creating a new section to be added to and made part of The Constitution Of The United States Of America:

970 12:46 pm PDT, Jul 1 Mrs. Denise Miller Because we fought over one and one-half years for custody of our granddaughter because CPS failed to notify us and when we happened to find out months later we had to fight the foster family that had her. We already had custody of her sister for over three years but CPS failed to notify us and when we finally got to court the worker lied to the court and said she contacted us however it never happened because she said she contacted my husband but he was in Iraq at the time.
969 12:09 pm PDT, Jun 22 Mrs. faith baden the state of michigan dont care about their own because if they did they would not take childern from a loving family and put them in harms way to people that dont love them and they are just their for the money and what they can get .they are not in the best interest of the childern its just plan money hungery.pigs .......liers,thievies ect..
968 12:49 pm PDT, Jun 15   john h wise because this is a true and factual petition that needs adressed
967 7:20 pm PDT, Jun 4 Ms. Anonymous The CPS adoption mill took my grandson from my daughter and son-in-law. They never abused their infant son. They were inexperienced and needed some parenting classes. CPS gave the parenting classes to my ex-husband, a man with a drinking problem, and his 3rd or 4th wife who works for CPS! CPS lied about my daughter and her husband and ignored the facts. They will now adopt their baby out to a delusional drunk who will be 80 years old, (if he lives that long, doubtful) by the time the baby is 13. CPS says this is better for the child, than leaving him with his younger, healthy, non substance abusing, non abusive parents.
966 10:51 pm PDT, May 26   amanda b cps thinks that they are the law/god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
965 6:24 pm PDT, May 20   Anonymous dfcs told my sister that if she didnt file papers against me they would take my son and put him in a foster home. she wasnt smart enough to realize that they obviously didnt have a case against me to have to enlist her help. she has had custody for four years and the judge ordered that dfcs remain involved so that i could not see him. she doesnt allow me to see him. the ordeal that i went through with dfcs is not supposed to happen in this country. i have lost all faith in our legal system and the const and bill of rights. dfcs doesnt care if or how this has affected my son. they did nothing to reunite us. they lied every time we went to court and deliberately omitted anything positive. they did not follow the procedures in their handbook. the judge was biased and punitive. it makes me sick. all because i wouldnt let school test him for spec ed as emot disturbed. he wasnt placed in spec ed after they took him either.out of space, but so much more
964 9:47 pm PDT, May 19 Ms. Pamela Rozier To change the family laws. My children where taken by dfacs wrongfully.
963 10:35 am PDT, Apr 4   Anonymous because CPS continues to place children in the hands of the abuser and our tax payer dollars are funding this horendous act. This is the United States of America- not a communist country. The public needs to be informed of what's happening and wake up to help our innocent children!
962 7:08 am PDT, Mar 24 Mrs. Anonymous The laws we have need revisions
961 4:22 pm PDT, Mar 20 Ms. Geri Musick I have received threats from the investigator looking into allegations of inadequate supervision. Threats of indicated reports, medical records being exposed for my children and myself, My children taken from me, ect. All because I asked for a warrant in order for him to enter my home. My daughter was detained at school 45min on 1 occasion, 30min on the 2nd time then she herself was fed up and recited her Benoit Rights and was released the third time. The investigator still did not find any "credible" evidence and is seeking a petition to demand services due to my non-compliance with his terms.
960 8:02 am PDT, Mar 14 Mr. Glyn Priestman  
959 2:48 pm PST, Jan 24 Ms. Yvonne Gumm I believe that the social services departments in all states need to review and change their attitude toward families. Recently a friend of mine was trying to retain custody of her granddaughter, she was required to take drug test. At one such testing, they told her she had failed. She looked at them a told them they were wrong and if they didn't retest immediately she would go to her personal physician, who was certified as a workers testing center, and have them take the test. Needless to say, they changed the test. If she had not had the resources, they would have taken the child.
958 12:54 am PST, Jan 16   Jim Marconi People who don't have stability, brains, or a passion for progress shouldn't be allowed to have kids. It makes me sick to see all these 18 yr. old kids with children. It's even worse when an adult makes the decision to have children when they can't afford to raise them properly. We are going to turn out like China. Damn Christians.
957 2:56 pm PST, Jan 1   Jessica Richardson ACS IS TRYING TO SNATCH MY KIDS OUT OF A LOVING, CARING, NON-ABUSIVE HOME. MY MOTHER IN LAW CALLED THEM TO GET BACK AT ME FOR SOMETHING AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OUR KIDS FROM US. THE FSU WORKER IS CLAIMING HE ISN'T THERE TO INVESTIGATE BUT THESE AGENCIES LIE.
956 9:50 am PST, Dec 19   Anonymous My wife and I were under investigation just because an anonomous persons believed my wife was under the influence of a controlled substance when she collapsed in public during a school fieldtrip. She actually was dehydrated due to complications of a documented medical condition. My attorney told me to cooperate fully with the investigation or they would just take my children until they could obtain the neccessary warrents from the courts. The investigation found no abuse and we were cleared.

954 10:58 am PST, Dec 9 Ms. Anonymous My infant daughter was removed from my care in April of 2008 due to a petition of the court by child protective services on grounds that have been contradicted by University of Michigan Hospital. Nevertheless, child protective services refuses to drop the petition and return my daughter to me.
953 10:47 am PST, Dec 9 Ms. Anonymous My daughter currently has had her infant in placement since beginning April 2008, and the allegations on the removal petition are contradicted by doctors at University of Michigan Medical Center. FIA refuses to withdraw the petition and return the child.
952 6:43 am PST, Dec 3 Ms. Michelle Giroux The US is one of the very few developed countries that allows for the physical assault of adult while it illegal for adults to strike other adults even prisoners.It goes against UN recommendations . We can not be a leader of democracy while this barbaric practice is allowed.
951 10:39 am PST, Nov 11 Mr. Walter Jinright I personally know someone abducted, she was 14, we went to school together. And I have family that were abused by their mother, and abducted by her when they were young, she was on crack (PROVEN) and a drunk, yet it took 1 1/2 years for the court to get custody back to my brother, a very decent, honorable, and hard working man that loves his children so much, one is not even his blood son, but is still his son in his and our family's eyes! The mother kept a loaded gun on a table around these children when they were all under 8 yrs old, and threw kitchen knives at her live-in boyfriend while drunk, WITH THE CHILDREN IN THE SAME ROOM BETWEEN THE TWO! They could have been killed, and she only get 18 months probation? Ordered to drug and alcohol rehab (NEVER WENT - and they did not even violate her?).
950 9:21 am PST, Nov 9 Mrs. Tina Moore I trusted CPS. I never should have. Why do they have the right to tell children they cant come home because of a dirty house, but a mother has no rights to pursue action when her daughter was molested in foster care? This is just one isue I have with what happened to my god children.
949 11:56 am PST, Nov 4   wendy Kilgore I beleive in this cause. It is my beleif that dfacs spends a lot time harrassing good people and little or nothing to asssist or help people. There is a problem with this system
948 9:29 pm PDT, Oct 29 Mr. Dennis McNally I'm getting tired of this social system.
947 8:35 pm PDT, Oct 24   Kathleen Ostic Family preservation has lost so much value. The Protective Services System (by any name) is in desperate need of reform, from coast to coast. The children are the ones who truly suffer tremendously from being kept from their God-given birth parents. In most cases, children are removed from their home without even so much as an accusation of ABUSE. Much of the abuse taking place in these cases is by the caseworkers, who abuse their power.
946 7:10 pm PDT, Oct 24 Mrs. Abigail Rodriguez Because My Kids Were Taken Almost 4 Months By CPS Basing On Child Abuse Which Is False And Based On Hearsay. Yes,Marks 3 Of Them Did Have But Not Caused By My Hands But By Their Own Selves Like Any Other Children And 2 Of Them Are Hyperactive.
945 4:53 pm PDT, Oct 24 Mrs. Anonymous I HAVE MY OWN FAMILY HORROR STORY AND WOULD BE GLAD TO SHARE IT-DO NOT LET ANY OF DFACS LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS INTO YOUR HOME-IF THEY TRY TO PUT ONE THERE, WARNING THEY ARE SPIES AND WILL TEAR YOUR FAMILY APART AND I MEAN LIE TOTAL FABRICATIONS TO REMOVE YOUR CHILD-I WILL NEVER STOP DOING ALL I CAN TO BRING DFACS DOWN TO SIZE-YOU THINK YOU HAVE RIGHTS IN THE USA-NO YOU DO NOT-DFACS ARE DESTROYING FAMILIES-ALL OF YOU WRITE YOUR STORY TO A LETTER AND SEND IT TO THE CARTER CENTER TO THE ATTENTION OF PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER-YOU CAN FIND IT ON THE INTERNET. WE HAVE PAID ALMOST 4000 DOLLARS TO GET MY DAUGHTER HOME AND SHE IS STILL NOT BACK HOME. THERE ARE NO DRUGS OR DRINKING IN OUR HOME NO MOLESTATION AND THEY SAY BECAUSE I CLOSE MY WINDOW BLINDS AGAINST THE EVENING SUN THAT SHE IS DEPRIVED AND I AM PARANOID. THERE IS MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY AND I CAN BACK UP THAT ITS MOSTLY ALL UNFOUNDED LIES.

We have it on taperecording from the CPS Case Manager that the charges were falsefied...they had to "say" wedid things to take the children. We were denied Legal, Civil, and Constitutional Rights and are still being persecuted.

935 2:40 pm PDT, Jun 20 Mr. Robert D. Brannan I was wrongfully acused of molesting my daughter.After a lengthy criminal investigation at which point my computer was siezed to look for child porn and determined clean by FDLE and a year long case plan with DFACS,the case plan was rejected(after completion)and a new case plan requested.The problem is,the case plan would order me to enter into a sexual offenders treatment program of which in order to graduate I would HAVE TO ADMIT GUILT.In the meantime,my daughter's true medical conditon(she has a hereditary condition of her intestional system)has been ignored so badly that she was hospitalized for something that was told to DFACS OVER A YEAR AGO.They have repeatedly ignored the well being of my daughter and put her at GREAT RISK of SERIOUS INJURY by ignoring the condition and blaming it on abuse.Further of the three possible placements other than a childrens home,NON WERE EVER CHECKED!!!I have to fight for my child against the people who are supposedly protecting her,while,at the same time rying to prevent DFACS from convincing the judge to order a case plan which violates my constituional rights.In the year my daughter has been in their prison system,she has been allowed very limited contact with her siblings and has been put at great risk by DFACS.Anyone know what I should do?
934 6:07 pm PDT, Jun 16 Ms. Felice Eliscu "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busy- bodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis (1898-1963), British novelist

931 12:04 pm PDT, May 26   Aisha Rafeeq-Assem  
930 9:48 am PDT, May 19 Mrs. Angela Miller Im signing this amendment with the strongest of hopes that a small voice can make an impact on the reform of CPS. The injustice i endured by my child being removed from my care is unbarable. I will fight with all of the love in my heart for the STRONGER protection of mothers and future moms and children that may be affected by CPS as I have been, that we as a people are ensured more defined LAWS GOVERNING OUR RIGHTS to protect our PARENTAL rights, our god given rights to our children. Stronger laws need to be enforced to inhibit CPS removing children from the care of the loving parents who have not nor would ever neglect or abuse there children. I would protect every hair on my children's hair with my life....yet my child was removed from me under the cause i had "failed to protect my child" when he was injured by someone else. Someone else who is scott free and was never criminally investigated because they didnt admit to the crime. My child and my life, our life together has been forever changed and ripped apart. I wittnessed some of thee most unproffesional behavior by caseworkers (the 6 to 7 caseworkers who were tossed along my case.) I felt as though my case was a juggling act and every month or so a new caseworker came along knowing nothing about the details of my case. I had a court appointed advocate who did not represent me in the manner i should have been, and did not do the things i asked him to do in regards to representation of my case, and questions that needed to be asked. CPS is comparable to another seperate self sustaining government. Like Communism or Facsim they have semmingly individualized laws, rules, regulations, and power. Opinion is evidence with this organization. We as American citizens need stronger laws governing our rights to our children from an over - run organization such as this. Im sorry, but in my proffesional opinion these people were more like Nazi's. I feel confident that CPS has done wonderful things for abused children, but in many cases i read about....they were seemingly quite "up in the air" circumstances that lead to a life altering decision to remove a child from care. We are not a 3rd world country. This is the United States of America this is happening in. It's a scary thought. I hope and Pray to the lord above that in the future the reform of CPS will include laws governing mothers and includes providing the resources to fight for our rights as American citizens and parents.(with high focus on low to middle income single mothers who are a noticable majority of parents with children removed, and an easy "target" to be victimized by an injustice from this orginization).
929 1:12 am PDT, Apr 30   Camille Lee WE NEED YOU, WE NEED YOUR HELP There are organizations working on your behalf. Working to change public policy, the cruel money motivated laws that were designed to legally kidnap your children. Working to provide you with safe environments to express your feelings without them being used against you. Teaching you to defend yourself in court so you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on Attorney’s who are not defending you well. There are thousands of websites of complaints of slander, stories of severe parental alienation abuse and intimidation, memorials for children who died in the custody of DFCS, but that is not enough. Your presence is vital. I know how you feel. You are in pain and I am in pain with you; but you are not destroyed, you are not broken and you have power. That is why you have been oppressed, because the powers that be understand your power better than you do. The greatest deception of all is to make you think you are powerless, because you are not! Come to the events, they are educational and you can find out first hand what is being done, what is not being done and what needs to be done! Come to our meetings because your efforts can make a difference. Join our committees so you can contribute your talent. Your attendance will bring awareness to this situation. We want the press, congressmen and the general public to know what is being done to you. We want this to come into the light, because our oppressors want it to remain unknown. There are millions of people just like you and I want to know who you are, where you are and what has happened to you so we can work together to stop this. This is not a sales gimmick or some other fruitless waste of your precious time. This is a call to you and everyone else who has been viciously falsely accused by DFCS and who have lost the most precious part or their lives, their children!

927 7:51 pm PDT, Apr 21 Mrs. Anonymous I'm signing this because I've got a grandchild that has been in the system for 6 months. they keep giving me the run around.
926 12:00 am PST, Feb 16 Mrs. Anonymous cps took my granddaughter forom the hospital after her birth they found traces of barbituits in her, although doctor cody waggnor prescribed this drug to my daughter during her pregenacy, she has the proof. they took the newborn placed her in their system over an hour away from my daughters house (she has no transportation). they left my 4 year old granddaughter in the home because THEY (cps) said the 4 yr. old was not in any danger, I think their laws are twisted, i passionatily voiced my concern to them about how one child is safe and another is not. its been three long months now with no hope in sight. one week ago they made my daughter aware of the fact that there was treatment available to her(go figure, 3 mos. later). now, because i care and im hurt and feel helpless, and i demand logical answers from cps,well needless to say i ticked them off, they are now trying to take my 4 yr. old g-daughter, whom has never even been babysit by anyone other than family. she also attends pre school and dance lessons, and tell me I have to do a criminal back ground check to keep her overnight,I am not a criminal, but I also refuse to play their games. my granddaughter is my world, and im not playing their games at the childs expense,I have been raped from loving the new baby who is almost 4 months old now, not sure how old she will be when her mom and i get to love her, touch her, kiss her. the cps placed this baby with a woman who was in the process of getting her foster license. a stranger who walked away with my granddaughter, now they are going to try to take my other one. this is a nightmare and inhumane. and nothing can be done to stop them. i am consumed by all of this. how unfair. i will skip state if cps takes my 4 yr. old., she has never been abused, and I will not stand for cps to place her someplace where there is tha possibility of this happening. there is a big difference in people who are prescribed drugs, and people who phisically, mentally and sexually abuse children, where is the justice here?
925 9:14 pm PST, Feb 8   Victor Del Rio What started out as an earnest honest effort to secure my child's F.A.P.E in public education was a cynicism creating obstacle course that lead to his mother and school district, et al, collaborating to rid me of my parental rights.

908 7:46 pm PDT, Aug 7   Sharon J. Thomas I have just witnessed two cases of the Lumpkin Co. GA DFACS that involved the violation of constitutional rights and child cruelty against two females, 15 and 16 yrs. of age. In the second case my 33 yr. old niece physically, verbally, and emotionally abused my 12 yr. old great-niece and grossly neglected her and her two year old sister. LC DFACS did NOTHING to the mother. I was an eyewitness, turned her in for child cruelty and gave my testimony. Enough of these 'Police State' tactics by DFACS.
907 10:45 pm PDT, Aug 2   Matthew Glaspell Cause cps is always on peoples cases about things and sometimes the things aint important, cps picks at parents so much it looks like they doing it to make parents fall apart or crack and loose their temper or go off the deep end. So cps can have their way. Some of the stuff cps does is not fair and hurts kids more than they were when the kids was with their parents.
906 10:34 pm PDT, Aug 2   Emily Glaspell I dont always feel all the children that cps takes and the parents that loose their rights deserve this, so many constitutional rights are broken and rules and regulations bent to allow cps to get what they want and some of these families are really innocent people just trying to raise their kids and be a happy family.
905 10:29 pm PDT, Aug 2   Ashli Glaspell Cause cps is 2 noisy when it comes to personnel business and it dont have nothing to do with the way they raise their kids.
904 10:25 pm PDT, Aug 2   Rose Glaspell I agree with this petition cause cps opens people up with a case for some dumb reasons when their are parents out there that are really abusing their kids and getting away with it, while parents that are getting turned in out of revenge are suffering with cps in their life.
903 10:19 pm PDT, Aug 2   Warren Masters cps needs to chill out and get off peoples back, they pressure people and damage people and emotionally abuse people. Most dont deserve this. This makes teens never want to have kids.
902 10:12 pm PDT, Aug 2   Shawnna Masters cause cps needs some major changes in how they deal with the people they open as a case, they need to investigate better before making any rash decisions.
901 9:51 pm PDT, Aug 2   Krystal Bates I think people need to fight for their rights against the cps dept. they try to walk all over people but they can be stoped, people have rights they need to find out what they are and use them, dont take this fight back, keep your family together.

Family Protection Constitutional Amendment

Family Protection Constitutional Amendment

For Protection Of Families From Abuse


Be It Enacted By The People Of The United States Of America:


PARAGRAPH 1. The Constitution of the United States Of America is amended by creating a new section to be added to and made a part of by amendment:

Whereas We The People of the United States Of America declare all child abuse to be a criminal act; and whereas we find the Department of Human Resources and Child Protective Services is a federally funded service agency that destroys families and severs children from their family body without Due Process of Law, by ambuscade, allegation, obscurement of facts behind the laws of confidentiality, for the benefit of federal and state funding streams, and receiving bonuses and bounties without charging anyone with a crime. Therefore, for the protection of Children and Families from abuse be it enacted a Constitutional Amendment by creating a new section to be added to and made part of The Constitution Of The United States Of America:

We the People of the United States, to establish protection for Families and Children from abuse and destruction of the Family Body, mandate these provisions as follows: We define Family as a Man and a Woman, or couple, or single person with a child or children, and the Issue of their Union. Further, We The People, declare the Family to be the very foundation of, Civilized Society, the Republic of The United States Of America, and it's Territories. And for the protection of Families so defined, from abuse, we declare there to be a need for checks and balances against that body of public servants designated by election, or appointment, to carry out mandates of the Sovereign People of The United States Of America, and it's Territories. We further declare the subject of all sections of this Constitutional amendment to be for the Protection of Families and Children from abuse.

It is hereby declared any and all abuse warranting the removal of children from their Family Body must be no less than a Crime.
