"I would like to know why CPS is getting away with stealing children.
My great niece, and 2 great nephews were taken by CPS last Friday. They have already taken 3 children from my family and adopted them out. From what I understand they get Federal money for each child they adopt out! If this is the case then are our children nothing more than Quota's? I would like to know what their "reasonable efforts" were to locate family first as required by Federal Law.
I have no problems and would take these children. I went to school for "early childhood development," majored in anthropology, was Ivan the Gorilla's keeper in Tacoma, and hand raised 2 baby gorillas at Woodland park Zoo. Not to mention I did an excellent job raising my own son. The last time I tried to get one of my great nieces out of foster care I was falsely accused of using meth one time in the hall outside of court after I was awarded custody. (Sound familiar folks? PR) She goes on to say....I did a UA and they told me it was too clean so they had to consider it dirty! Also, the foster father was stalking me and I caught him in my yard!
The child was adopted out! I have diabetes insipidus which is water diabetes, not sugar so my body is in a state of constant flushing. Where are my rights? My disease alone does not allow me to take anything that causes me to dehydrate so drugs and alcohol are out of the question. I would like to know where I can get legal help. This has to stop. They have torn my family apart long enough. Pam Roach, will you help me?"
Dear Zookeeper: Arrange a visit with each of your three legislators. Write down the information for them and tell them what happened in your visit. Have them call the CPS Ombudsman and have them call into the very bowels of the bureaucracy. Take your most notable friend with you (like the director of the zoo, for example).

Thank you Pam. That is also my name. I did contact one of my representatives this morning. I contacted you (even though I'm not in your district) because it will take the entire state legislature to stop this abusive behavior by state agencies. When I went through foster parent classes last April the one thing they kept pushing was "Foster to Adopt!" Sounds a lot like white market babies not only for free but they pay you. I agree the children needed to be taken, but why did CPS not follow Federal laws in any of these cases seeking family placement first. Again, thank you. I don't have much faith in this country and those who run it anymore. wish I was born in France to tell you the truth. My ex-husband is from Germany and he agrees with me.
CPS is nothing more than a bunch of serial child predator human traffickers.
Every last one of them will claim they are "Saving Children."
The more devious and criminal you are the higher you rise into the ranks of this Government sanctioned and protected crime ring.
Just imagine what kind of people would steal and traffic in innocent little human babies...
Thats the sad facts of life I'm afraid - healthy person= better parent than non healthy person.
I would ask what were you doing that looked like drugs (since obviously more than just the foster parent believed it if there was a required test)and whether the foster parents family is as dysfunctional as yours sounds. It might be that the family surrounding the foster parent is better structured and secure than yours.
In cases where the state is determined to take children, they don't need proof of anything. My ex who has a criminal history and severe mental illness accused myself and my husband of abuse to get the custody..The CASA and the CPS worker felt sorry for him and gave him our kids. It didn't matter what bizarre thing he said or did... I was the bad one. They even ignored their own psychiatrist's recommendations that the children be given back to me immediately. I have never done drugs have tasted alcohol less 6 times in my life..this was suspect..how could someone from an abusive poor background not do drugs? They argued I must have some type of mental illness since I didn't engage in self destructive behavior..It wasn't until the CASA admitted before the judge to having a crush on my mentally ill abusive ex that she was fired and a new CASA was put in place..I have my daughter back now, her "perfect" father is now waiting to get supervised visits. My oldest is in an institution for severely autistic children now. The state of Indiana wont pay for his medical bills unless they have custody. They won't give him back to me since they that would be admitting a mistake..My husband and I were accused of being child abusers, molesters and every vile thing under the sun, all w/o proof. When my oldest was injured by accident, CPS said they knew it was an accident but if my husband didn't plead guilty to battery we would never get our kids back. They took our newborn baby as well, we didn't get him back til he was a yr old. The reports clearly state that there was never abuse or neglect, but he was taken "just in case". CPS doesn't care about families or children. CPS will purposely go after families that want and care for their children because these parents will jump through the hoops. Then CPS can say, See all the good we did, these people are better parents because of us..The simple reason that families are not considered is that the state doesn't get money when family members foster or adopt.

I sincerely hope that you were just kidding by that statement.
Just so you know..for sure foster parents do sabotage the parents at every turn if they have been promised by the "Department" to be able to adopt this child. Have witnessed it with my own eyes.
And who are you to judge the functionality of any family? What are the credentials you possess that allows you so say something as this to a family you know nothing about?
Judge not..lest you be Judged.
The Stuth case,the Lily case and the Poca case are perfect examples of the lies this department tells to procure children for their title IV re-imbursements. Please step away from the propaganda machine.
The "Department" will be held accountable for their actions. The winning lawsuits against it should make one angry..It's my money and yours that we are paying out to an entity that has been allowed to run wild with zero accountability.
As far back as the early eighties it has promised changes..Litle to nothing has changed. The kids keep dying and there is zero due process for families.
IF...child abuse is such a big problem..prosecute in a criminal court..IS IT NOT A CRIME?
This business is not black and white. The situations in family court are not always as they appear. It's damned if you do and you're if you don't.
I did absolutly nothing as far as drugs. If I did a drug like that I would end up in the hospital from severe dehydration. Look up diabetes insipidus. The foster parents refused to give up the baby and after I was awarded custody, out in the hall from the court room is when the foster parents, CPS worker talked with the baby's biological mother and they had the mother make the false accusation. And I have had this disease from birth but went over 30 years misdiagnosed by doctors. CPS was going to use that against me as well. Something that was not my fault. I raised my son with no problem other than when he was born the doctors refused to let me have water and the next thing i knew I was in cardiac recovery. No damage to my heart though. I'm a very strong person.
And by the way, being healthy does not make you a better parent. I should know.
Unbelievable! I could give a list of dysfuntion in foster homes so long it would fill this page. Maybe the one that was convicted for beatng of my daughter would be the first on the list followed by the boarded up crack house in Tacoma I found one of my other children at! Or Maybe I should at least share about the most loving caring foster home I saw in a three year period. That was when they weren't drunk and beating each other up! See it goes both ways!Foster and adoptive people are just that PEOPLE they are not superior humans without the same problems as the general population. They have just never been jailed (maybe) and have not had their own children stolen yet!
That is a real fact of life! Ever notice nobody is sueing their parents for the aledged abuse that landed them in sometimes a hell nobody deserves! I do front line work with parents who have children in foster care or at risk of being there. The emotional destruction caused by CPS when they unecessarily remove any child leaves deep wounds that last a lifetime.
Sorry the last post really jerked a knot in my tail. This is why accountability is put on a back burner. There are people that are ignorant to to the real facts of life are for these children and families. I would like all rainbows and sunshine in the foster system too! It will never happen until there is accountability and the laws for family reunification and placement(with the same standards as fosters) are followed.
A UA being too clean means: Dilute
Dilute is when the urine is watered down then it becomes suspect because you have to drink a lot of water to get a dilute. When a UA is dilute then even normal things that would be found in urine is washed out. The density is affected. Get a hair folicle test
You can prove to CPS that you don't use drugs through UA's, hair follicle tests and any other means for literally eons if need be they will simply forge positive results and even if you catch them doing this dirty deed by having third party custody controlled cerified testing to prove that you don't use drugs it will do you know good.
Sterling Labs is owned by DOC and CPS I'm sure that the judge who decides your Termination of Parental Rights either sits on their board or owns stock in this fraudulent lab...
The department is "scared" of a parent?
when a parent legally and relentlessly tries to retrieve his child, has done everything required, and won't back down and go away after his child is stolen by the state..the department will try to show a fear tactic to raise propaganda and suspicion against the parent...when there has been no proof of the parent being unfit..no proof of abuse or neglect..only conjecture they conjure as with the Salem Witch Hunts.....
when a father, who is still in the parental termination appeal process, realized they were adopting his daughter at an ex-parte adoption hearing, the aag's and the adoption units' caseworker call for a police escort at court..try to have the parent thrown out of the courthouse...and try every angle to cover their butts to skirt the issue of all their perjury forgery and fraud.
steer clear of all the stones the throw daddy...
Yes, they are commiting fraud and forgery a lot. I was devistated. Then they told me i had to apply to be a foster parent to get this child! I just got a call back from Representative Troy Kelly's office and they are sending me a release form because DSHS refuses to give them any info. I think i got them scared. I hope. We need to attack this agency as much as possible people. I had the foster father stalking me and saw him walking through my back yard. I didn't know who he was until I went to one of the court hearings. He saw me and tweaked, going in and out of the building making phone calls. He looked like he was on meth! And they let this wig and twig have my great niece! I also was getting harrassing phone calls in the middle of the night that were blocked. Then I stared getting mail for a convicted felon and meth addict in the mail! Talk about being set up! I want so bad to testify before the state legislature and hopfully I can. Also, I got the packet for foster care and several day's later I came home to find in my mail box the manilla envelope with the confidential case file in it! I took it to CPS and they snatched it from me and I never saw it again. My doctor at the UW wrote up a letter stating my urine and blood are dilute because of my disease and that I do not use illegal drugs. I forgot to take my copy out and when I asked them for it they denied having it. I need an attorney but have no money and legal aid does not do custody cases which is what poor people need the most. I am on a mission to make these people be accountable. I myself could not look in a mirror had I done what these people do. I personally think you have to be mental to do the things these CPS workers do. My ex-sister-in-law was a receptionist for CPS and she couldn't take it and asked for a transfer. An example of the mental abuse they inflict is they took my nieces children on her birthday. They called me on my birthday left a message saying I was getting custody so I went out and bought everything i would need only to have her stolen before I ever got her physically. If you have a surgery or get sick they use it against you. Heaven forbid we be what we are, human.
"The business of America is BUSINESS."
Relatives have been SHUT OUT on the East Coast of the US, too.
CPS is a business... probably close to a BILLION DOLLARS with attorneys, Family Court Specialists, Judges, caseworkers, etc. all dipping into the trough.
Thank God WA has CC Tillett, Pam Roach and the other family advocates.
