I too am in the middle of a CPS action against my daughter and son-in-law. She asked for the kids to be placed with me in te beginning and the social worker wouldn't even work with me.<BR/><BR/>Mern Stewart is the case worker, and she stated that there was an "inquiry" on me 17 years ago for my daughter, which the found nothing. But now it stands between me supervising my grandchildren. This all started 11/20/08 and we finally got <BR/>CPS to do a background check on me. Now they want fingerprints.<BR/><BR/>The kids are with their paternal aunt because the wouldn't work with me at first. I too believe that CPS h as way too much power. Our case worker seems to want to drag out this false allegation for atleast the full 90 days. Which, they told my daughter that if she didn't sign the voluntary placement, they would take the kids themselves. My grandson in question was at daycare all day, yet the daycare was cleared with one conversation. Yet the family is being crusified and actually told that if someone were to "confess" they could work with us. How can you confess to something you didn't do, so they can still take your kids? It's not fair!<BR/><BR/>Where can a parent find help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949272793553548917.post-74709745572547745612008-12-21T09:24:00.000-08:002008-12-21T09:24:00.000-08:00The new "Famlink" will be a disaster.

I can say the problems are a family issue. Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle and Gramdparents. Nothing happens in a vaccuum. A child in trouble is a family in trouble and the CPS Dept had better make damn sure the child is going to a member that can at least marginally parent the child with the issues that child presents.

Much research has and is going on. They are doing the job of a good attorney without the credentials or the pay and are working so hard for this family. Would more people become involved if other families came out without fear of retaliation from cps? This is whats needed to see all this help and maybe they would not be so afraid. I am sure there is a multitude. What do you think Senator?

I know a Jan Smith personally who is fighting for custody of her grand child. Let me tell you of a circumstance I had yesterday at the local DCS office. I was nearly assaulted. Being up on my child support, my ex has also called multiple time to let them know that I was not in the rears, and they refuse to listen to her as well. When I mentioned that their records were wrong because they did not show a payment that was made and I had record of, the man became extremely angry and began to yell at me. I asked for his name and he started to belittle me calling me names and instantly questioning my character. (I have never dealt with this man before). He went nuts on me. I felt fear that they were going to do something to me when I saw staff in the back running. I have PD'd for the security camera tapes to show the far reach of corruption and intimidation. I am scared to even discuss this with them any further.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949272793553548917.post-59356452076890258822008-12-18T20:25:00.000-08:002008-12-18T20:25:00.000-08:00Check this one out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...Check this one out.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWmRduf4w4o&eurl=http://fightcps.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949272793553548917.post-72826001693080187332008-12-18T16:51:00.000-08:002008-12-18T16:51:00.000-08:00The only rules there are when it comes to DSS, CPS...The only rules there are when it comes to DSS, CPS are the ones that they make up as they go along. They are untouchable, I always ask, "are they CPS or the mob?"<BR/><BR/>The only way to fix this problem is to either make them accountable for their actions by making laws that punish them when they break the law or getting rid of the entire system. Frankly, I am for the latter. There are much better departments in this government that would take much better care of our nations children and families.<BR/><BR/> Now for my plug, because the only way to get the story out is to advertise it.
