A dshs, child protective service worker came to my parent’s house and took my brother’s baby. Procurement of an order to seize a child through distortion, misrepresentation, and/or omission in court and is a violation of the fourth amendment. ( Malik v. Arapahoe Cty. Dept. of Social Services. (10th Cir. 1991)
That is exactly what the cps worker did. She either failed to fully investigate intentionally or recklessly, withheld potentially exculpatory information from the court.
State and Federal laws state “every effort must be made to keep the child in the home (RCW 74.14A.020., RCW 26.44.063,RCW 13.34.060,Finding — 1999 c 17: “The legislature has found that any intervention into the life of a child is also an intervention in the life of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian, and that the bond between child and parent is a critical element of child development. The legislature now also finds that children who cannot be with their parents, guardians, or legal custodians are best cared for, whenever possible and appropriate by family members with whom they have a relationship. This is particularly important when a child cannot be in the care of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian as a result of a court intervention.” [1999 c 17 § 1.]
WAC 388-15-037, RCW 26.44.063, RCW 74.04.050, RCW 13.34.020, RCW 74.13.031, RCW 26.44.030, 42 U.S.C. § 671 (a) (15) and 672 (a) (1) -That is not all the laws she broke, and there are plenty of case laws to back this up.
As shown above RCW 13.34.00 finding; The government cps worker not only did nothing to prevent removal of the child from her home, she intentionally took her from her home. My brother had left his daughter in my parents/his parents/baby’s grandparent’s care, where both the baby and my brother had lived since the baby was born. She cps worker had prior knowledge that the grandparent were, cps approved, bonded with the child, yet still traumatize the baby and put her in a foster home. The trauma caused by this cps worker is unforgivable, and that it disruptions in the parent-child/grandparent-child relationship provokes fear and anxiety in a child and diminish her sense of stability and self. At first, the child is very anxious and protests vigorously and angrily. Then she falls into a sense of despair, though still hyper vigilant, looking, waiting, and hoping for her return. A child’s sense of time factors into the extent to which a separation affects her emotional well-being. Thus, for younger children whose sense of time is less keenly developed, short periods of parental absence seem much longer. “Taking a child whose greatest fear is separation from her family and in the name of ‘protecting’ that child by forcing on them, what is in effect their worst nightmare, is tantamount to poring salt on an open wound”. Another serious implication of removal is that it introduces children to the foster care system, which can be much more dangerous and debilitating than the home situation. Foster homes are rarely screened for the presence of violence and that the incidence of abuse and child fatality in foster homes is double that in the general population.
This child was born addicted to drugs. This had nothing to do with my brother. She was taken to PICC center. A hospital that specializes in getting newborns off drugs. They were very pleased with my brother’s care, concern, and attentiveness. So much so, they wrote a letter stating how my brother did everything perfectly to help this child through this difficult time. They said she was “one of the well-adjusted PICC graduates that he had seen in a very long time.
CPS was told my brother that she would be going through the worst part of the withdrawal and that she was not developing properly. The baby was promptly taken to her pediatrician, who gave her a clean bill of health. He took her back to the PICC hospital, who ensured him she was medically normal, healthy infant that had out grown the effects of the drugs.
She was so healthy the PICC center used her picture and story for their funding flyer. Then later came to her home and made a video of my brother and her for another funding project.
CPS is supposed to protect children. This woman did not care about the best interest of the child. Did you know that of the millions of people in prisons, 70% of them were foster kids. What ever her motive was, she traumatized this baby, and it should be stopped before more children grow up and go to prison. It is estimated that it cost $200,000 a year to keep inmates in prison.
She has clearly violated the 1st amendment (Doe v. Irwin US. D.C. of Michigan 1985,
Elrod v. Burns 96 S. Ct. 1976,
She also violated 4th, 5th, 9th, and 14th amendments (324 A 2d 90; supra 129 nj Super at 489, 369 NW 2d 889, MI App Div 1983, Reynold v. Baby Fold, Inc., Santosky V. Kramer 102 S. Ct. 1388 1982, Chrissy v. Department of Public Welfare 5th Cir. 1991, Malik v Arapahoe Cty Department of Social Services 10th Cir 1999) I could go on and on.
My parents and my brother to afraid to complain to anyone fear cps will make up lies and take the baby again. They only let my brother see his child once a week for an hour, and it is supervised by cps. It will not let him see more until at least the fact-finding hearing. They do nothing to protect the bonding so accentual to child development.
Not only are they trying to hurt the child and her dad, but they are trying to bring me into their the case, by telling the foster parents, my brother, my parents, the mother of the child and the baby’s lawyer that I had, had one or two kids taken away from me in the past. First, I think do not think that would be public information, second it has nothing to do with my brother’s case with them, and lastly it shows how much they really care about children. They reference them like mud pies, with no concern “one or two”. I would think people that had a job caring for children, would not reference them in such a casual way. It is not important to them; they are not talking as if they are not living beings, but like mud pies “One or two”. That does not show any concern about children to me. Maybe you could ask them how many other foster children are in the home with my child? Would they reply, “Oh, one or two, it depends on how many sold; I mean were adopted this week.”
I have not researched this yet. I am quite sure that is not public information for cps to give to any information they may or may not have about me to anyone. I am not being investigated and do not live with my parents, this information would have nothing to do with investigating my brothers case. It seems she is getting desperate and is trying to dig up anything on anybody with no regard for privacy laws, or any law for that matter. The mother has two other children that have been taken from her. Although the mother has given up all her parental right to the baby, the cps worker is sending my brother a copy of the files. I have no idea what this information has to do with this case, but I would not think she should be giving private information out like candy on Halloween. This woman seems a little unstable. She just goes around lying in court, taking children, giving out protected information, and god only knows what else she has up her sleeve.
I she is breaking state and federal laws and getting federal funding by doing so. Cps gets federal funding, but cps must follow rules to legally qualify for that funding… One of the first rules is that the cps must do everything possible to keep the child in her home. That includes having the parent leave the home first .Offer services or any option that would keep the child in her home. (.RCW 26.44.063).
Cps having prior knowledge of the baby’s living situation could have used this option of having my brother leave and letting the baby stay, saving everyone a lot of worry and heartache. Cps also knew the baby’s grandparents had been approve by cps. They were “CPS approved” and already had background checks. If cps were looking out for the best interest of the child, she would have never taken the child, from her grandparents. The child had already bonded with them, loved, and trusted them. I cannot imagine what reasoning she used putting the baby in foster care, and taking her from a loving home.
Another state and federal law is if the child cannot stay in her home, they must try to find a relative to take the child, before putting the baby into foster care. She was already in a home with relative care. She did not call one relative. By not telling the truth, it helped her get the warrant and money from the federal government. Which in turn, help her with what ever she was planning, and what gain she would be getting by traumatizing a whole family?
All information is supposed to be presented to the judge. It is suppose to be written out in detail what she did to keep the baby in the home and the relatives she contacted. She did not do one thing to prevent this baby from being put into foster care; in fact, she made sure the baby was put in foster care… In my opinion, she had some other motive for taking the baby and putting her in foster care. It sure was not in the best interest of the child.
She is lying to get federal money by not following the above rules. That cannot be legal. She is hurting innocent children, and I cannot see where she even makes reasonable decisions; she breaks the law, over uses her authority and she breaks innocent peoples constitutional rights. This does not seem like a person or maybe a whole agency that should be looking out for the care of humans that are defenseless and she refers about as if they were mud pies.
I believe this must be stopped immediately. I would go as far to think she is selling these children to people. She sure had no reason to remove the baby from her home, no matter what she thought my brother might have done. We are very lucky that my brother had some prior experience with cps; otherwise, he would have done what he did when the child was born. What cps tries and make you do, sign a dependency, and your court appointed attorney agrees with them and doesn’t even inform you what you are doing or what other options you have. He knew better this time, but cps tried and pushing him, and having the dependency hearing the same day as the shelter hearing without council. Cps feels they have all the power needed, after all what greater power could you have over a person, but taking you kids.
As far as I can tell the govern themselves. If you want to file a complaint, you have to start with filing a complaint with the cps worker’s immediate supervisor. If you do not like the results you get from that supervisor, you can go up one more. Although, I have phoned different offices several times and both supervisor that work in the offices are either on vacation, out of the office that week, or some other lame excuse. So I was not even able to talk to a supervisor. Then I called the regional office, but they are not sure what can be done, but they have document called a “tort”, and they will email it to me. It has seems they can do pretty much whatever they want to you and your family. By the time, you could file a complaint they would have probably already auctioned off your kids, and say, they have not been with you so long they are not going to give them back.
I have heard horror stories about fighting cps. If is not something they do to you, they get your family’s kid or even your lawyers kids. They usually target low-income people that do not know their rights, and cannot afford to hire a lawyer. They do not know any better and think they have to sign this dependency or cps will keep their kids. I have first hand experience with this it is not just something I made up. I know they do this and set you up to fail. They make you go to so many classes and pay child support. If you go to everything, they want you to go to, you do not have time, or employers are not willing to work around your schedule. If you do not do everything they say, they keep your kids. If you do not work, you cannot pay your child support and they have your driver’s license taken away, and then you do have the money to go to the classes and even if you did, you do not have a driver’s license to get to them. If you drive, anyway, you end up in jail and they still keep your kids.
They do all this by making you believe they have a right to tell you what a terrible parent you are, all because an x-spouse is angry with you and will do anything to make sure your life is a living hell. When 40% of children in foster care could go home if they had the resources for affordable housing and day care. Instead of helping the family stay together, they give middle-income people the money to take your children. They even give adoptive parent money, health insurance and whatever they think they need and cps a bonus for getting the child adopted. However, they do not help the families stay together, they do not receive any federal funds if the family is reunited, and the family does not receive any help either.
Seventy percent of the millions of people in our prisons were foster children. This cost tax payers $200,000 a year for each inmate. The parent turns to drugs and alcohol to relieve some of the pain. Or they get so depressed they suicidal tendency, they hurt so bad they have mental problems so deep seeded and never recover. They end homeless, in jails or institutions. Did you know that the bible thumpers abuse their children more often and more severely than the drug addicts, but less likely to be investigated?
Luckily, this time my brother knew cps does not act in the child’s best interest. My parents and he are financially devastated from their last ordeal with them. He had not even done anything wrong, but was bull dogged into believing what cps said. This time he did not sign anything and asked for a lawyer. It was hard because he would have to wait two more weeks before there was even a chance to get his baby back and out of danger. No matter what you do, the family is always the ones that have all the pain, and it’s just another mud pie to them, but they are going to make sure that’s all you have is mud pie and a broken heart.
I researched everything in the dependency papers as good as I could. I am not a lawyer or even close. He gave everything I had to his lawyer and lucky the judge agreed the cps worker had defiantly over stepped her bounds, and the baby was finally returned to my parents, pending the next hearing.
They just keep trying to break you. My brother can only see his daughter once a week for an hour in a little room, being supervised by cps. Can you imagine what a baby would go through, she is only 14 months old only seeing her dad who has been with her almost day and night from birth, to only seeing him for an hour, and being taken away again. I see absolutely no reason he could not have more liberal visitation, with my parents supervising. CPS just continues to traumatize the baby, and will continue unless he gives custody to the state. How can one hour a week be good for the father or the baby? The baby surely does not understand why her dad keeps abandon her, but cps makes sure to make it as hard on the family as they can. With no regard to the baby’s well being.
I could not imagine what would happen if he sign a dependency. He does not have any money anymore and I truly believe he would never get her back. This is just my opinion, but I truly believe that they have a buyer for his baby and that is why they are doing nothing to reunite the family and everything to destroy them. What other reason could this woman have for trying to break this family apart?
I could not find any place other than here (The FBI) to file a complaint of any kind about cps. Other than, the same office that is causing all this grief to start with. Who lies to get federal money, kidnaps children, and disables parents.
I do not expect that you will respond to this, but if you cannot investigate these things, could you please at least tell me whom I could get in touch with that would investigate without letting them know who is involved. My parent, brother, and I too, are so worried, scared, and live in fear every day that they might just come here and take her again.
This needs to be stopped. It has taken such a toll on our whole family, none of us will ever be the same, and government should not be allowed to ruin families, and do who knows what to they do to the children they take.
I am begging you please help us or tell us who can.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Bliss

My name is Rikki and I have been in the system for 13 years my kids have been abused in some homes. Used as labor in others. they have lost their belonings when moved. we have some times had weeks months and years with out visits.I have sat in court and had things said about me you would not believe and was not alloud to defend my self. I had one social worker tell me if I slept with him he’d give my kids back. I have had the guardian tell me she hates me.The govener of nebraska has blown me off every time I’ve contacted him . I have heard numerous times from therapists, doctors and visit workers that they don’t understand why my kids are in the system but that they have no power to help fight them.I have had fosterparents and visit workers tell me that the social workers told them horror stories about me..yhat they decided after being around me wern’t true. Any time a visitation worker therapist or doctor tryed to defend me they were pulled from my home and not alloud to talk to me or would loose their jobs. I’ve had calls in the middle of the nite from people to tell me how persons on the case were doing or wanting to do thins that were iapropriate with my kids like take them on trips and things. I believe one of the foster parents molested my child ,but in this system you are guilty and are keept from the people and tools you need to help yourself. They have more power than thr IRS. And they love putting your kids on all kinds of drugs.And now that some states have gone with private companies it’s going to get worse, they need a product to stay in busness and that means more kids. Rapists ,childmolesters, and murderers have more rites than parents .And believe me It’s a war that is not going to be won easly because were afraid of them.And they coverup the abuse of the kids in their care .I’m not saying everyone in the system is a bad person because I’ve met some good ones but they seem to afraid to rock the boat. And make no mistake this is big busness. The fosterparents the doctors the lawyers and the system are sucking in the cash.

the whole court system and child welfare are corrupt! Its sickens me what these sick people can do with the power they are given! CPS agents can be sued as an individual. I read about Bellas law. Divorce situations can put you in a situation with cps. If you’re a mother not getting child support and the father isnt involved, do yourself a favor and leave it that way! you’ll be better off and so will your child. If not you might end up with Cps knocking on your door for false reasons and might end up with a corrupt one that’ll make up lies. if they do contact you record everything! these people need to be stopped! makes me want to stop paying taxes! I wonder if they have to go thru background checks. I know it doesnt take much to a “social worker”. online quick degree! f ing joke! and they have the power to slander you and ruin you and your childrens lifes!!!!!!!

CPS is not immune to law suits like they want to believe go to the FBI web site and look up color of law crimes. This is a perfect example of what cps does everyday in America. please email me your results we have to gather together and share information to ever beat this organization of crimes against our most fragile people that can not defend them selves. Do what ever you can by any means necessary just like they do. If you want to catch a criminal you have to think like a criminal, just like if you want to catch a fox think like a fox and pretend you are a rabbit.

There has to be a change made at the federal level. Until all of this federal money stops the lunacy will continue. It is like the government is collecting taxes to screw itself. It uses it’s money to destroy those who are paying taxes.
They have very bad laws in place which reward the making of false allegations. People are destroyed over gossip and suspicions. Children’s lives are being destroyed by the very same people who claim to be protecting children. My children have been going through the worst trauma of their lives because of incredible allegations made by unethical therapists. The therapists then find a way to bring in DHR and make DHR put the kids in “therapy”. The therapist can then bill for their time. This is how they make their living. My kids are terrified of therapists right now. The therapists are accountable to nobody. Between the courts and the therapists there is no justice. I remember a therapist telling me that she made a ton of money from “medicaid kids”.
They can take the kids into their foster homes and brainwash them against you. They can then prohibit them from seeing you. They have as long as they want to brainwash the kids against you. THIS IS REAL FOLKS!

I was in the process of adopting my granddaughter, when my home did not pass the adoption inspection. I am a pre-doctoral student with a 3.375 GPA and do not drink or drug. I had my child in private christian school, and the CPS worker took my child on a “Life-Threatening Basis” –There was No “Life-Threatening Basis” The CPS worker, Ashton Moore, had been very friendly all summer, and had even invited us to her Vacation Bible school, where she was a teacher. We gladly accepted her invitation and participated. My child thought she was a family friend, so the CPS worker tricked my child into going with her on a ‘special shopping trip’– she then called the child’s Uncle, ( my son) that they were taking the child to an orphanage if he did not take her. He took her for 4 weeks, but he and his fiance do not like small children, so they had the child removed on an Emergency Basis because she was crying and wanted to come home to me.
I was put on Supervised visitation with NO CHARGES AND NO PAPERWORK. I said a prayer for God to “Please keep us safe, and Protect us until we see eachother again” and I was written up for using the words “Safe and Protect” and all of my visitation has been taken away. Ihad HHS and Senator Craig Estes’ office investigate this, AND BOTH OFFICES SAID THEY FOUND NO WRONG DOING!!
I have court transcripts that show where CPS/CASA misrepresented (lied) about me in court. Because of these “Misrepresentations” the Judge gave my child away to a foster/adoptive home. CPS does not want me to ever get to see her again, as they are trying to break our bond, so that she will accept the new family. She has lost weight, and misses me terribly, as I miss her. I have been researching “Rally for Congress” and found out that the CPS office gets “Tens of Thousands of sollars” for every “Orphan Adoption”.

i am a grandmother who has had both my 2 year old and 10 month old for 10 months. i brought the 10 month old home from the hospital. all done by cps. we had no idea what was about to happen, we were just glad to take thr kids in, mother and father were positive for marijuana. for the second time, first with the 2 year old then the baby. my husband and i had no idea.. i can’t even explain what has happened to us and our lives from that day forward, i could’nt make up the things we have gone through, we were told lie after lie, we now have no relationship with our daughter, her husband spends more time in jail than at home, the home was declaired unfit, so she had to get a different place for the kids, she took her classes, he went to jail, no classses so they just excusesd him from everything, he has 4 drug charges, 2 dwi’s and several warrents and a felony, she can in no way take care of the children on her fast food pay, yet cps says thats not a factor in her getting the kids back, he has not worked since the first child, we have taken care of them all their lives, we were checked out for placement before we could get them, but i guess his background and drug and alchohol problems are not important for cps. (1 dwi in the first 3 months of the investigation) now my daughter is lying and saying he and her are over and cps pulled the children from us and put them into her home(which she moved into 4 days before)she was crying about how she could not afford a day care, or take care of them alone, but cps insisted they go home. in the 10 months i have kept a complete log of everything, including how many times she visited(2 times in 3 months) now the babies are sick, have lost weight, and cry for us all the time, and we can no longer see them, we have no rights. her husband is back, cps don’t care that he did nothing he was demanded . he does’nt want us to see them, so we can’t. i thought when this started, cps was in it for the kids, they have completely ruined our lives, not to mentrion what they have done to those poor innocent babies. but they say they will bounce back, i’m sure the case workers sleep well at night, because i have’nt for 10 months. I HATE CPS…. and i had no idea what was involved. sad thing is, we can complain and complain and complain but nothing is gonna change, this system is so messed up, what do you do?

Has anyone had dealing with CPS in Denton County, Texas? I need help.
September 13, 2010 at 5:11 am |
My daughter just had her 3 children taken from her by CPS. The husbands family conspired to take the children for them selves and their infertile daughter and then throw his wife the mother of his children in the street with a protection rule that will prevent her from ever seeing her kids again. CPS was behind this criminal act along with the husband. These criminal acts by CPS must be stopped . They must be stopped in any way or form that does the job. There is so much criminal activity in this case it would take me all night to write it here. If there is an interest I would be happy to explain in detail. I believe CPS should be eliminated and a new fair form of a State Agency should be started up. But if that should be done do not hire any of the CPS people into this new agency. They have proved their untrustable actions and there would be no need for these people to continue in an other State Agency. Richard Red Hawk

I agree, ‘Sir these people lie, and conspire for you to tell them the truth and they scuff their feet like onto of you, as if it was your back they just postured! ‘And that is what snakes do they crawl, on there bellies and wait for the right time to strike, ‘Knowing full and well that you are a food souse for them to consume, ‘I am sad that I ever new such evil could come out of a nation that was once free like ours of this type of servitude that slithers around seeking who it can devour!

cps received ua results from treatment center without connect,attorney general asked me in court for the ua and judge said no. Cps said that they did a retest on a ua that is 2 months old and claim that it is dirty.the ua has no signature collector name spelled wrong. no fax number and guardian all idem that requested quit and so did the attorney general. no response from lawyer ,dac attorney not helping. What happened to America.hospital takes baby for neglect without a chance to neglect,to false ua and dissemination of confidentiality.

You got to fight that. Same thing happened to a friend of mine in San Francisco, clean ua, took baby anyway, they jumped through all the CPS hoops and got the baby back at 9 months…tell them you will never quit fighting…file a civil lawsuit in FEDERAL COURT against CPS using above lab info as insufficient grounds to seize your child-it’s a violation of your fourth amendment – - – then go to the local court & file a habeas corpus. That is latin for “show the body”. Usually used with prisoners appealing an unjust sentence but here it is your child being made to serve a sentence! That means that you are asking the court to tell CPS to “show the body” (of your child) and to explain to the court so they will have to show the legal reason for talking the child in the first place. Tell the court in plain & proper english what you have said here. Write it out calmly. Type it out. File it at the clerk of courts of your local court. Get a copy. Then send a copy of that copy to the Federal Court in your area. I realize you have no lawyer but everyone has the right to approach their courts. Make them pay attention. Write to your local media over & over showing them a copy of your request for habeas corpus. Send it to your governor, senators, congress-members – - – and send CPS a list of everyone you have sent this to – - – make it so hot for them they find it easier to give you back that baby instead of fighting … I fought ‘em myself (it’s called pro per) and never lost custody only 3 & half years of my life (and my peace-of-mind & sanity) … … … I am putting together support websites for CPS-sieged parents @ http://beatcps.ramonamayon.com Keep fighting the good fight of faith!

on july 6th i left my 2 and 4 year old in my van with a 17 1/2 year old it was pouring rain and i went in to the store for 20 mins well the 17 yr dozed off and a customer thought the kids were alone and called the police, they came saw my 17 yr in the van yet they still removed my kids. DHS (cps here) went to court and said the kids being in the van were unsafe and needed to be safe while investigating. on 8/3/10 they went to court said the kids have to be removed do to being in the van unsupervised and the daycare had issues with the kids clothes not being clean. ( even though they never had an issue with us nor did they ever hotline it) now we go to court 8/31/10 and now they say the kids were removed due to they are constantly allowed to play unsupervised at home in the raod (LIE!!!) they also claim our house is dirty, unsanitary and ridden with rodents and vermin (LIE they haven’t even been out to the house) and we have 4 previous cases of neglect here (LIE!!! we were hotlined 4 times) (#1 the health dep said i draged my son outside due to tantrum even though i have spinal problem and it’s physically impossible) #2 i took the 4 year old for testing for autsim and the dotor wanted abuse ruled out.. which it was) (#3 me and my 17 year old were arguing) (#4 a neighbor felt we had no heat or power due to fozen pipes) if i went into court always changing my story i’d be thrown in jail.

CPS nyela Bolden testifed her report for abuse neglect and mental harm was errored. She could not substandard her claims. I would like a well written federal law suit brief. Does anyone have a copy to send me? The judge placed my child in the custody of the father who has beed substantiated twice for child abuse and abandonment.
August 12, 2010 at 8:22 pm |
My name is Tammy and CPS kidnapped my grandchildren from me when my granddaughter was 16 months old and my grandson was only 3 weeks old after CPS approved them being placed with me, and my daughter signed Power of Attorney deligation of parental powers and CPS knew I was planning on adopting my grandchildren who have been in my custody from the moment they were born.
My daughter and I had agreed prior to both childrens births that I would raise the children because my daughter has mental issues and she knew she could not raise these children. True she should have taken precausions not to have chldren if she could not care for them however she did not. I was honnored to care for my beautiful grandchildren I love them so very much. Destiny my grand daughter was born a meth addic and CPS became involved they did a home study, crimminal background and on myself and my companion whom I have known for 15 years and we have been together for 7 at that time, he has no children of his own and he was is hevean when Destiny was born he loves her so much, he has not been able to see her since August 12, 2008 because he has a criminal background however CPS approved us for placement on May 22, 2007 and Destiny was placed with us. We participated in drug testing though we were not drug addicts and parenting classes. an I was planning on adopting Destiny however my daughter became pregnant again so I wqas waiting for the birth of my grandson so I could adopt both at the same time. When Steven was born my daughter a an alcohol level of .09 and had a planned c-section, not so smart on her behalf true, but we had already agreed I would take Steven, however CPS stepped in once again and before I could take him from the hospital I had to take a UA and be given a saftey monitor until the results came back which was 24 hours and they were negitive just like I told them they would be.
I am sorry I will have to continue this reply later I have some unexpected business to attend to I appologize but irf any one can help my file a Special Action in Arizona because they stopped my visits and adopted my grand children on May 12 2010, by way of lies, fraud, and fraud upon the court and I was never a loud to defend my self against the aligation in the dependency they filed against my daughter, and they never made any attempt to try and prevent the removal of my grandchildren from me they pre-planned the removal and then had us arrested for kidnapping though they were the ones who actually kidnapped the children I have documentation to prove this they lied to the grand jury to get us indited by claiming they had a court order out of another county which they did not.
Like I said I will continue this reply later please feel free to contact me at tammydoud@yahoo.com thank you for your time
July 22, 2010 at 10:12 pm |
just started to try to get my story out & collecting links for my site; parents must UNITE to protect their children from this social gestapo:
____________________________________________________________
OPEN LETTER TO NANCY PELOSI
Madame Speaker,
As you read this, please realize that if the daughter of your good friend Senator Dianne Feinstein and the woman you recently endorsed to be California’s Attorney General weren’t involved in my case I truly believe, as both legislator & a mother, you would be outraged by what has happened at the hands of those who swore to protect the vulnerable children of the City of San Francisco. Of course, it’s impossible to ignore that Judge Katherine Feinstein & D.A. Kamala Harris were involved, but as my elected representative, how can their identity stop you from dealing with me? Yes, I know better than most about the bloodsport that San Francisco politics can be since my family disappeared into a political bermuda triangle in 1998 because we accused the firefighters’ union I.A.F.F. local #798, their sacred cow charity S.F.F.D. Toy Program & it’s chairman, the late John Voelker of mail theft and sabotage rising from our Christmas 1997 appearance on Fox2News due to our plight with a blown engine on our schoolbus/home. That matter was settled out of court 12 July 1999 on #300155, Mayon v. I.A.F.F. local #798 for $6000 and a mutual stay-away order.
Since you are a busy person, as are the other 1500+ people in the media & government receiving this email, let me get right to the point. I want my family’s name out of California’s Child Abuse Index because the entire case was built on 48 examples of perjury, tampering, suppression & manufacturing of documenting evidence.
We have quietly fought for justice in every court in San Francisco, but to no avail, obviously because of the political bluebloods involved. Since the courts (Superior, Appellate, California Supremes & the 9th Federal district) have rejected our incessant demand for accountability, I finally turned my hopeless fury into a book Collected Letters from the Abyss that I released online earlier this month @ http://ramonamayon.com available in an instant-view mass-distribution format for $9.99. It is a citizen’s indictment documenting a conspiracy between C.P.S. who provided the perjury, S.F.P.D. who refused to investigate our allegations against S.F.F.D. & the City Attorney’s Office who prosecuted us for 3 years on the grounds that I put our children at risk for neglect due to my use of medical marijuana (letter from UCSF’s Dept. of Neurology gotten months earlier), taking legal (but not PHYSICAL) custody of our four children, thus denying us the right to travel back to Louisiana where we have family & land, where we would have pursued the interests of justice from a safe harbor. We were never San Franciscans – we were here for our wedding & dream honeymoon, marrying at City Hall 14 Nov 1997. We remain Louisianans, even after nearly 13 years here.
From 26 April 1998, when Children Protective Services responded to the hotline call from the late John Voelker, until 11 June 2001 when the Commissioner William Gargano returned legal custody of our family to us, we have fought tooth and nail to bring the truth to light. Our attorney in the union matter, Steven Bouvarnick, advised us to adhere to the letter of the settlement which included the clause “Do No Harm”, so effectively I have worn a paper muzzle until even the ten-year statute under the R.I.C.O. act was over, because what the union did, they did under the color of authority, thus automatically making it racketeering. By waiting, we ensured even the signees’ pensions were safe. We kept our word, even while they had a machine at their disposal. Madam Speaker, as much as you don’t want to hear this, it was machine politics at it’s best. If there were some way for you to replace the players in my book with someone you didn’t know, say from Chicago, you’d see it, too.
I don’t take these steps lightly, nor without fear. After all, on 16 Dec 1998, while I was at our attorney’s office receiving the final draft of the lawsuit, across town in Golden Gate Park, my husband was being brutally assaulted by three men. That was quite a message to come home to. He was hospitalized for 30 days and very nearly died. My book describes all that as well as how the C.P.S. refused to even acknowledge what had happened; indeed, how they lied in court about everything that was, in reality, happening.
Even after we were returned legal custody of the children, we couldn’t leave San Francisco because of the dreadful lies set in legal cement by the City Attorney’s office, led each in their own time by your friends, 1998-2000 Katherine Feinstein and 2000-2003 Kamala Harris. This false case would follow us anywhere we went, but if we stayed here, we knew C.P.S. wouldn’t bother us again because they knew we knew about the lies. A stand-off, one that kept our children safe, but one that meant we could never return to the quiet, wonderful rural life we once had, at least not until our children were past the age of being taken by that Gestapo that C.P.S. has become ever since Congress began funding a bounty on every American child’s head of $6000 a month. All that federal money, without oversight nor accountability, shame on all you politicians, who just sign bills and never look to see what you are really doing. Go online and read a few of the heart-breaking stories, then take a look at the unlimited power social workers wield – do something drastic & dramatic about it, why don’t you. We all end up judged before God, I’d hate to be called to account for this debacle!
My book uses the City’s own hard paper to document every threat, every lie, every suppression, every example of tampering, everything in their words not mine, because, after all, who would believe me? As the judge in the recent landmark case, Humphries v. County of Los Angeles, wrote in his opinion declaring California’s Child Abuse Index unconstitutional under the 14th amendment, to be declared a child abuser in modern society is a type of moral leprosy. And didn’t that serve the firefighters’ union well, first that the City Attorney’s office of Louise Renne would force us to remain in San Francisco ensuring that we had no access to any other court but this, and secondly, should we ever make it back to Louisiana, our reputation was shredded.
Even now who would listen to me? My book has been out two weeks and the silence from the local and state media has been deafening. However, I am finding that the Internet is that great equalizer everyone has always thought it would be. But I already knew that would happen, thus the title of the book, Collected Letters from the Abyss.
Yours in Christ, Ramona Mayon
Next actions:
1st, a complaint to the California Bar Association re. Kamala Harris prosecuting us in spite of several C.P.S. reports that repeatedly stated that there were “no actual C.P.S. concerns or issues with this family”, as well a complaint to the Judicial Performance Panel (on which Judge Feinstein sits) to review the original foundation of lies that she oversaw in 1998-1999.
2nd, since no one has complied with the 9th federal district’s court directive to alter the procedure that surrounds attempting to remove one’s name from the Child Abuse Index, we will apply to the director of D.H.S. Trent Rhorer to re-examine the records, then direct Cal. DOJ to remove our listing.
3rd, when he refuses to do that, we will proceed to federal court in an attempt to force a change in due process. We understand that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear Humphries v. County of Los Angeles in the fall.
4th, we will ask the current attorney general, Jerry Brown, to independently review this miscarriage of justice and remove our name.
5th and finally, we will seek to form a coalition of all the groups on the Internet screaming about the corruption in Family Law courts, in order to draft a bill of rights for every child at risk from an uncontrollable, unaccountable Children Protective Services. At that time, we will return to Congress, who supplies them with the money but no oversight and demand change.

Hi, me and my girlfriend have recently been targeted by CPS here in Lubbock Texas. They have made false allegations against us and recently tricked my girlfriend into signing something. Unfortunately she did sign and now i feel we are stuck in their system. Our daughter is currently staying with a family member. They took her away from us because my girlfriend was prescribed Ambien. We really can’t afford a lawyer and you really can’t trust all lawyers to begin with. I’ve been researching the CPS corruption and im just disgusted. Please help. 806.928.9260 (Daniel)

Hi this Wilson, thanks for sharing the useful information Child Protective Services (CPS) is the name of a governmental agency in many states of the United States that responds to reports of child abuse or neglect. In April 2008, many raised questions as the CPS in Texas removed every minor child and infant from the YFZ Ranch polygamist community, with the assistance of heavily armed police with an armored personnel carrier. They convinced a judge that they had sufficient evidence to conclude that all of the children were at risk of suffering from child abuse as they were being groomed for under-age marriage.

Two children, ages 4 and 5 were just removed from me, my home, and their grandfather by CPS. We had petitioned for custody, as the mother gave the children away, and the father did stay here with the children for four months, and then up and left, and we heard nothing from either until we filed the petition. THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING OUR PETITION! Between the two of them (they are not married) THEY HAVE GIVEN AWAY 5 CHILDREN!!!) CPS was involved, only because of the father. I notified them when the father left, as well as the court, and the guardian ad lietem, as I was legally supposed to do, which actually all was supposed to have been done by the father was to give the court 30 days notice if he was leaving this address, but he did’nt. CPS kept coming, and was very pleased, so she said with everything. THEN WHEN WE WENT TO COURT FOR OUR PETITION, ON THE 3RD OF THIS MONTH, CPS WAS THERE, SO SHE SAID, TO TELL THE JUDGE HOW WELL THE CHILDREN WERE DOING. IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE HAD FILED SOME PAPER, UNKNOWN TO US TO THIS DAY, AS WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF ANYTHING AS SHE ONLY SAID THAT SHE WAS THERE TO GO AGAINST THE FATHER THAT LEFT THESE CHILDREN, ONLY 31/2 MONTHS AFTER THE MOTHER DID. WE STOOD BEFORE THE JUDGE, AND SHE COMES OUT WITH THE FACT THAT “MY EX HUSBAND WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE SMOKING. THE JUDGE SAID NOTHING, AND SIGNED AN ORDER OF WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OUR PETITION. WHEN WE LEFT THE COURT ROOM, SHE TOLD ME TO GO HOME AND PACK THE CHILDRENS THINGS, AND SHE AND ANOTHER WORKER WOULD BE THERE TO TAKE THE KIDS IN A FEW MINUTES. THEY FOLLOWED US, AND THE KIDS GOT NOTHING BUT A FEW OF THEIR CLOTHES, AND THE WORKERS PICKED THEM UP, AND PUT THEM IN THEIR CAR. WE GOT THE CHANCE TO EXPLAINE NOTHING, NOR COULD WE, AS HER TESTIMONY WAS ALL AGAINST THE FATHER, AS SHE SAID, EXCEPT FOR 1 PERSON SMOKING AT OUR KITCHEN TABLE, AND THE FACT THAT I HAD HAD A YARD SALE (OF WHICH SHE DID’NT TELL THE JUDGE) AND MY HOUSE WAS A LITTLE STIRRED UP, AS I HAD TO BRING SOME SMALL THINGS IN, DUE TO RAIN. NOT MESSY, OR FILTHY, JUST NOT AS CLEAN AS IT USUALLY WAS WHEN SHE CAME. I MENTIONED THIS BECAUSE SHE CAME THE DAY BEFORE COURT TO EXPLAIN TO ME THAT SHE WAS JUST GOING TO TESTAFY AGAINST THE FATHER ABANDONING THE CHILDREN, HOWEVER, AFTER ASKING HOW MY YARD SALE WENT, SHE SAID SHE NEEDED TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY HOME. I ASKED HER NOT TO THAT DAY, AS THINGS WERE STIRRED UP, HOWEVER, SHE SAID SHE NEEDED TO ONLY FOR PART OF HER CONTINUING EDUCATION. I AGAIN ASKED HER IF SHE COULD JUST GIVE ME 1 MORE DAY, AND THEN SHE THEN JUST WALKED PAST ME, INTO MY HOME, AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES. WHILE I AM GUESSING, AND NOTHING WAS SAID IN COURT, I AM SURE THE JUDGE HAS A COPY OF THOSE PICTURES. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I’VE DONE FOR THOSE CHILDREN. I STARTED COUNSELING THE 1ST WEEK OF THEIR MOTHER LEAVING THEM, KEPT THEM AT THE DOCTOR’S, AS THEY HAVE MULTIPLE MEDICAL PROBLEMS, GAVE THEM THE LOVE THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN FROM THEIR MOTHER OR FATHER, FED THEM, EVERYTHING, AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN, AS WOULD THEIR GRANDFATHER WHO TOOK THEM FISHING, TO THE BEACH, ETC., ALL THE THINGS THEY HAD NEVER DONE, AS THEY WERE RAISED IN A MOTEL THE WHOLE 4 AND5 YEARS OF THEIR LIFE! WE WENT BACK TO COURT YESTERDAY, AGAIN, SUPPOSEDLY FOR OUR PETITION, AS THE CPS WORKER SAID THE JUDGE DID’NT SEE THAT ON THE 3RD WHEN THEY TOOK THE CHILDREN. THE ONLY THING SAID WAS THAT THE JUDGE ASKED “WAS EVERYONE IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS?” (US THINKING IT WAS OUR PETITION) AND ALL SAID YES. AFTER COURT, THE CPS WORKER SAID SHE WOULD GET BACK WITH ME WHEN SHE GOT BACK TO THE OFFICE, WITH ME, AND THE GRANDFATHER THINKING IT WAS TO MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET THE CHILDREN BACK. WELL, WE BOTH HAD ERRANDS TO RUN, TO CATCH UP ON BILLS, ETC., THAT WERE DUE DURING THIS TIME. I ARRIVED HOME AT 2:00 P.M., TO FIND MORE PAPERS ATTACHED (TAPED) TO MY DOOR. IN READING THESE, IT WAS AN EMERGENCY ORDER TO TAKE THE CHILDREN, SIGNED BY THE JUDGE YESTERDAY!!! THIS MEANING THEY HAD NO ORDER TO SNATCH THE CHILDREN ON THE 3RD, AS THEY TOLD US, THUS ILLEGALLY TAKING THEM, AND INSTEAD OF US ALL AGREEING TO OUR PETITION, WE ENDED UP AGREEING TO LIES THAT THEIR LAWYER HAD PUT ON HER PETITION FOR YESTERDAY, AND WE WERE NOTIFIED AFTER COURT, NOT BEFORE!!! I WILL FIGHT THIS, AND WILL GO AS FAR AS IT TAKES!! THIS IS ILLEAGLE, AND NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!! I JUST PRAY FOR THESE CHILDREN UNTIL WE GET THEM BACK.

My family is also caught up in the nightmare of CPS. It’s like a bad dream that never ends..and the children are the ones being abused the most. I truly believe their only concern is money, there is no other explanation.

I am one of those parents who has been through hell and back because of our wonderful Child Protective Services here in San Diego. I worked very hard at maintaining and improving my “record.” I was a law enforcement officer for over 10 years here in San Diego. I once believed in the judicial system, although it had it’s flaws, I never believed it capable of what it has become.
My life was torn apart by those people. I now have an out of control 4 year old, which I am helpless to discipline due to the system. My 19 yr old was enticed by promises of college education that is to be funded through “the system” and brainwashed to the point of not speaking to me. My 1 year old spends much of his time with my sitter and our Sunday school teacher because I don’t trust my 4 yr old around him. (I am now of course a single mother.)
My record of which I was proud of at one time has been completely torn apart. Now, I am viewed as nothing short of the criminals I once booked into jail myself. I am seen as an abusive, drug addicted parent, on welfare and no hope of rising above what they took 39 years of my hard work and dedication and destroyed for their own financial gains.
And, I will tell you why no Lawyer has done anything… It has nothing tor do with the judges being dirty… The Lawyers are making a HUGE profit themselves from this three ring circus…. Innocent parents, like myself, desperate for help hire them to prove our innocence. However, due to the way the incentives are paid, it benefits the system to keep the child in the system for as long as possible. This is how my situation played out….
My Lawyer charged me a retainer fee of 3750.00 just to take the case… Every court appearance was an additional charge… Every correspondence I had with him cost me no less than $75 and that was for a 3 sentence email sent by his girl friday. I told him from the beginning I wanted to appeal the case… He kept putting me off saying “we will when the time is right”…. The time was NEVER right, I was just placed deeper and deeper into court ordered classes and all the other frills that accompany them… Then as time moved on, he denied ever agreeing to appeal. (I would not have hired him if that were the case.) Anyhow, I had volunteerally given up my parental rights on my daughter because by the time I would have been able to regain custody they had already convinced her that they were her saviors. She was 17 and by the time she would come back, I would have done twice the classes for nothing. I did not relinquish my educational rights however, yet was never once informed of her progress… nor were ANY efforts made to reunite her and I. Finally, I was informed by my now ex-husband that she was going to graduate on Friday, June 6th this year. We had a court date set for Thursday the 5th basically her last court date and release from the system…
HOWEVER, because they did not benefit from her release, the judge came in and said the since her graduation was not until the following day, she was not officially graduated and moved the case back another 2 weeks! Thus, keeping her and the financial gains comming for another 2 weeks, and the lawyer made another $400 for walking into the court room again, and about $350 in correspondences, from my trying to figure out why he did not object to the judges ruling since the graduation ceremony is all a formality and she was indeed graduated while we were in the courtroom that Thursday…. (It was not financially beneficial for the Lawyer… Keeping my family right where they were was where his bread was buttered.)
And that is why no Lawyer is interested in doing anything about it… It would be cutting off a very easy, high income, little to no work involved, income for themselves.
Thanks for the ear… Hope I brought something to the table on this one…
Believe me I could go on and on as far as all the outsiders that benefit from the destruction of families…. I live the hell they have created for me every day…
(I’ve gone back to college and can’t even find financing, grants, nothing… And yet they are rewarding my only daughter for lying about things I never did by funding her education… Ironic.)

State’s Child Protection Agencies Collude with Judges to Defraud Federal Government
© Nev Moore Jan. ’02
In 1974 Walter Mondale initiated CAPTA (the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act), the legislation that began feeding federal funding into the state’s child welfare agencies. With remarkable foresight Mondale expressed concerns that the legislation could lead to systemic abuse in that the state agencies might over-process children into the system unnecessarily to keep, and increase, the flow of federal dollars. Shortly after CAPTA was enacted there was a dramatic increase in the number of children in foster care, peaking at around 500,000 during the mid-70′s. George Miller, the Chairman of the federal Select Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, initiated an intensive investigation of the nation’s foster care system after the effects of CAPTA started to become apparent by the soaring numbers of children who were being placed in foster care. An official at the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare admitted to Miller that the government had no idea where many of the nation’s 500,000 foster children where living, what services they were receiving, if any, or if any efforts were being made to reunite them with their families.
To address the obvious free-for-all snatching of children that CAPTA had stimulated, the Committee crafted new federal legislation with the intent of creating accountability and clearer guidelines for the states child welfare agencies. During the crafting of P.L. 96-272 Chairman Miller’s concern was that the federal government was footing the bill for warehousing children in institutions and inappropriate settings without accountability. In 1980 the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act, P.L. 96-272, was enacted. The act included provisions that “reasonable efforts” be made to prevent children from being unnecessarily removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Although CPS has always tried to buffalo the media and the public that they are involved with families due to some sort of horrific child abuse or neglect, there has never been any debate among national policy makers, researchers, and federal agencies that the vast majority of CPS cases are due to poverty or frivolous/social reasons and do not contain elements of real child abuse. If the cases did actually involve acts of abuse they would be criminal, identified and investigated by law enforcement, rather than social workers, and would be prosecuted as such. P.L. 96-272 came into effect partly because Congress determined that a large number of children were being unnecessarily removed from their homes, and, once removed, they were lost in the limbo of foster care for years, many until they just grew too old, when they were then put on the streets at the age of 18.
The Child Welfare League of America testified before a senate subcommittee: “In fact, there were many instances then, as now, of children being removed unnecessarily from their families. It is important to recognize that children are almost always traumatized by removal from their own families.” So, accountability from each states child protection agency was also written in. To receive the federal money the states would have to submit an annual report to the federal government, known as an AFCARS report, that specifically accounts for each child in state care. ACLU Children’s Rights Project attorney, Marcia Robinson Lowry, explained in her testimony to Congress: “As a condition of federal funding, states must have a reasonable information system to identify children in federally-funded state custody.” These requirements were implemented in 1980. Up until 1999 some states were still not filing their federally required AFCARS report to the federal government. According to Jeffrey Locke, former Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Social Services, the excuse to the legislature was that they “couldn’t figure out how to
work their computer system.”
When I called Senator Therese Murray in 1998 to ask how many children had died in foster care in Massachusetts, her aide replied: “We don’t have those statistics.” At that time Senator Murray was the Senate Chair of the Committee on Health & Elderly Affairs, and therefore responsible to oversee the collection and filing of AFCARS data.
The “reasonable efforts” requirements were designed to address these issues by requiring the states child welfare agencies to have specific investigation and assessment policies to minimize frivolous removals, to provide “services” to address and ameliorate conditions that were detrimental to the child’s well-being; to place children with relatives when removal from the home was absolutely necessary; and make efforts to reunite families in a timely fashion. Methods to audit and track compliance with federal requirements were also built in. The states were to establish “citizen review panels” comprised of a specifically designated representation of the population which would include not only members of collateral professional communities involved in child protection, but “parents, foster parents, and former foster children.” Each state was to have at least three citizen review panels. The panels would essentially act as a standing jury of peers and would review CPS cases. Twenty years after P.L. 96- 272 went into effect the citizen review panels have never been established in most states.
Another means of creating accountability was to have the federal authority, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, conduct compliance audits, which are known as Section 427 reviews. The method of enforcement that Congress devised to ensure that the states followed the federal law was to provide incentive funds to the states that documented their compliance with the federal regulations. The states would self-certify compliance, but could be subjected to “periodic” 427 reviews by the Dept. of Health & Human Services. Were the states to find themselves in non-compliance they would simply return the incentive funds. It would seem that providing cash to agencies that are allowed to self-document compliance is a somewhat less than intelligent system. It would be interesting to track down exactly how much money the states child “protective” agencies have returned to the government because they found themselves in non-compliance. Gee, maybe this is rocket science.
Like CAPTA, P.L. 96-272 could only have worked if the federal government demanded compliance and meticulous accountability, and them imposed sanctions for non-compliance. Even better – criminal charges for racketeering for intentional fraud. Mark Soler, director of the National Youth Law Center in California explained:
“The Department of Health & Human Services has failed to promulgate meaningful regulations to implement the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act. It has applied even the minimal federal regulations that were developed in an inconsistent and arbitrary manner, and only token implementation of the laws protecting children.’
Even when HHS finds overwhelming evidence of lack of compliance during 427 reviews, no sanctions are imposed and they continue to keep the fed $$$ pouring in – in violation of their own regulations. Not so much as a slap on the hand or even token admonishment. Certainly explains how CPS developed their arrogance and contempt for any authority – because there is none. Their confidence that they are free from the feds insisting on compliance with the law is well illustrated by the foster care numbers which increased dramatically after CAPTA began feeding federal dollars into the states child protection agencies, then dropped equally dramatically after the enactment of P.L.96-272, which was supposed to create more specific federal regulation and accountability. However, once the state agencies saw that the federal government was not enforcing compliance, the foster care numbers soared once again.
Michael Petit, Deputy Director of the Child Welfare League of America, stated in his testimony before Congress: “A 427 is a meaningless process for most of the states. It represents no kind of sanctions to the states whatsoever for non-compliance.” Marcia Robinson Lowry told Congress: “States are passing HHS audits with systems in which no reasonable person could consider that children are being well treated. It is virtually impossible to fail a 427 audit.”
The initial concept of “reasonable efforts” was the only conclusion that any rational person could come to: rather than disrupt children’s lives, and traumatize them by seizing them from non- abusive situations and placing them with strangers (who are often no better, and sometimes far worse), assist families in overcoming their obstacles and problems by providing support and services. The idea never worked, though, because it has always been more profitable to too many to remove children rather than keep them at home. Rather than offer support and simple, practical services to families CPS forged contracts with vendors. Now private businesses, under the guise of “service providers”, could mushroom into existence knowing that their sugar daddy, CPS, would provide a never-ending flow of coerced clients. The market potential is unlimited – potentially every mother, father, grandparent, and child in the country. Rather than offering practical, meaningful services that are germane to the families circumstances, CPS clients are ordered to engage in “services” with CPS-contracted vendors; special interest groups who are dependent on CPS for their income and profit by maintaining the levels of children in foster care, and whose interests are protected by a bureaucracy intent on securing it’s own survival and protecting unlimited growth.
The extent of which CPS is allowed to continue to operate while being so far out of compliance with the existing state and federal laws is mind boggling. It would be a challenge to find any other agency in our countries history that operated in such gross and blatant violation of the law with absolutely no intervention from the administration. Tens of millions of tax dollars are being squandered on a system that is destroying families and causing lifelong emotional ruin to children – and those are the lucky ones who live through it.
The most egregious area of outright criminal fraud is CPS’s practice of filing their federally required documentation of compliance in secrecy through the courts. The federal foster care reimbursements are channeled through the Title IV-E section of the Social Security Act. Each states child welfare agency enters into a contract with the federal government, which is referred to as their Title IV-E state plan. It is this contract that spells out the responsibilities that CPS must, by law, comply with in order to receive their federal funding. To document compliance with the fed regs CPS must file a form through the courts in each individual case. In Massachusetts these forms are referred to as a “29-C.” 42 U.S. Code, ss 672 reads:
“These requirements are not mere formalities. The Finance Committee of Congress, in preparing its summary for final passage of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980, P.L. 96-272, stated; ` The Committee is aware of allegations that the judicial determination requirement (sic: that a judge makes a determination that a child needs to be removed from the home) can become a mere pro forma exercise in paper shuffling to obtain federal funding. While this could occur in some instances, the Committee is unwilling to accept as a general proposition that the judiciaries of the States would so lightly treat a responsibility placed upon them by federal statute for the protection of children.”
1980 U.S. Code Cong. and Admin. News: “A judicial determination of those efforts (reasonable efforts, as defined in the Act) serves to closely examine, in the case of each individual child, whether reasonable efforts were made to keep the family intact.” In accordance with the federal requirements the Massachusetts legislature enacted G.L. c.119 ss 29b, which requires all judges to certify that the Department of Social Services met the obligation grounded in the federal statute of making reasonable efforts to protect the child short of removing him or her from the parents, and, if the child was removed, making it possible for the child to return home in a timely manner. Rather than “closely examining”, in Massachusetts this grave responsibility is carried out by judges by rubber stamping stacks of 29c forms that simply contain three “yes” or “no” check boxes. In many instances making three check marks is even too much work for Massachusetts judges and they rubber stamp the forms while leaving them blank – never mind actually verifying that the “reasonable efforts” were made. In return for these forms DSS receives it’s federal money.
The three questions are:
1. Continuation in the home is contrary to the well being of the child?
2. Reasonable efforts have been made prior to the placement of the child to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the child from his/her home?
3. Reasonable efforts have been made to make it possible for the child to return to his parent/guardian?
I discussed this issue a few years ago with Veronica Melendez at the Children’s Bureau (the federal authority). She told me that the federal government was under the impression that all parties were present in the court room at the time of the filing of the 29c’s, so that the parents attorneys had the opportunity to object, rebut, or verify the “reasonable efforts.” In reality, no one sees the federal forms except the judges and a representative of DSS’s main legal department. Attorneys ask us how we ever “got our hands on” the 29c forms, as we have never yet met an attorney who has seen the forms, let alone have been notified of the filing hearing. We even have forms on which the “no” boxes were checked, yet the children were still removed from their homes and federal funds collected for them.
By seizing children illegally in violation of the Title IV-E requirements, then filing false documents in secrecy through the courts to obtain federal funding, CPS is defrauding the federal government with intent. CPS should be subject to investigation and prosecution by the U.S. Attorneys Office. They should be held liable for the restitution of all illegally obtained funds, and prosecuted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and the fraudulent collection of federal funds under the False Statements and Accountability Act of 1996, P.L. 104-292 110 stat 3459, 42 U.S.C.S. 670-679a; P.L. 96-272; C.F.R. part 1356; and Title IV-E. I have discussed this issue with the Inspector Generals Office and they felt it could possible be prosecuted under RICO, yet they have also failed to act, possibly because it isn’t just CPS/DSS who is committing federal fraud, but also the judges who are signing the documents.
In 1988 George Miller, the original architect of P.L. 96-272, and Chairman of the congressionally appointed Select Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, recognized the fraud being committed in the name of child “protection”, and stated:
“What has been demonstrated here is that you have a system that is simply in contempt. This system has been sued and sued and orders have been issued and they just continue on their merry way. And HHS just continues to look the other way. You have a system that is not only out of control, it’s illegal at this point. What you are really engaged in is state sponsored child abuse.”
