I am writing this to warn people of the the Child Protective Services office in Copperas Cove, TX. These people are nothing more than liars and baby snatchers. They do not really care about the kids, all they care about is taking the kids away and getting the parents to pay child support to the state. It is all about money, not the safety or protection of the kids. They will lie to you and coerce you into doing what they want you to do. They do not care!

I am having a fight with them right now. A person named Krista Selph came to my house at the beginning of March saying that there was a called placed that my son had been physically abused that morning. She did not have her facts straight, as the report was for my three year old daughter and the alleged incident took place three days before. She lied completely to my face and was rude in how she handled the situation. She completely falsfied documents and even got every name on the documents misspelled, eventhough she was given the social security cards with everyone's name on it. She went to court and had a hearing set up that she never attended to try and get us to have court ordered services done.

The charges against myself were bogus, she was just doing this to be vindictive. On post the charges have been dropped, but when we went back to court for the second hearing, the Judge, not listening to what my husband and I were telling him court ordered that we undergo physchological evaluations by their state doctor. We all know how that is going to turn out, the doctor works for the state so he is going to say what the state wants him to say. I am supposed to go to this tomorrow July 26, 2007. My husband is going to have reschedule his because the idiots scheduled both of us to go to this on the same day, and that is not possible as we have three kids at home and I do not work. My husband is in the army and this is a real inconveince for him and for his unit.

These people do not care about your lives nor that of your children. They just want to take your children and get your money. This state is one of the worst to do this, especially in the Fort Hood area, where over 7000 cases happen per year just on post alone. This needs to be addressed and handled, these people should not be allowed to get away with this. They completely and totally go against their own state laws. Corporal Punishment is legal in this state and in the schools. You can beat your child with a reasonable object and not get in trouble for it as long as there are no marks left on the child. These people do not care about following their state laws, they feel that they can make up and change the laws at whim. This is wrong and has to be stopped!

Beating your kids???

AUTHOR: Laura - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, September 10, 2010

I am most definitely ANTI-CPS/DCF. they lie, make false allegations, etc....... However, this lady states : "You can beat your child with a reasonable object and not get in trouble for it as long as there are no marks left on the child. " 

That's it's LEGAL to "BEAT" your kids as long as it leaves no bruises or injuries???  Ok..that is why your kids were taken from you!  You don't ever beat your kids!  You are trying to argue that "beating" your children is....ok? ARE YOU STUPID OR JUST VICIOUS?  You have a self-admitted anger problem, you admit to hitting your kids & let us not forget the PIG-STYE you had your kids living in!

MOST children should NOT be taken from their families...CPS / DCF tends to go over-board with false allegations, ripping apart the very soul of this countrys' families.  There are SOME people that have no business raising children. You are probably one of those people that just need to be educated on how to raise children & instill DECENT values. If your children are behaving in such a way as to, as YOU put it, warrant a "beating", it's because YOU didn't teach your kids the proper way to handle themselves.    Or you're just a b***h to your kids & need to grow the F-UP!!!!

I was the caseworker...and proud of it.

AUTHOR: kselph - (United States of America)

I was the caseworker assigned to this lady's case.  First I would like to say that caseworkers for the state of Texas don't call in abuse reports...trust me when I say we have our hands full enough.  A concerned citizen called about the state of this woman's house and the fact that she was spotted slapping her three year old daughter in the face and screaming the f word at her in her front yard...she lived on Fort Hood and typically Army spouses are concerned citizens.  Because she had children under the age of 5 in her home, it was considered a priority one case, meaning someone had to respond within the day.  I was on call that day, so it was my responsibility.  When I went out to this lady's house, she was leaving.  I asked her to please stay put until we sorted the whole report out, and I was waiting out in my car for the MP's to assist me.  She proceeded to scream obscenities at me, put her kids in her mini van and race through a housing neighborhood in circles at top speed until she finally gave up and went back home.  During the race, I followed her with the MP's on the phone because I was afraid for the safety of her children.  Thank God the MP's were at her house by then because I was four months pregnant, and she was screaming vile obscenities at me....all sorts of things were running through my head (like where was her shotgun) and  I hadn't even set foot in her house yet.  The MP's then informed me that she was already assigned to Fort Hood family services for an anger problem...no surprises there.  Upon entrance, the house was completely filthy...it wreaked of rotten food, diapers, trash/food/dirt on the floors...when I say trashed only those of you who have ever seen a CPS house could probably understand how bad it was.  I did not take her children, but rather got the Soldier's Command involved to clean up the house.  Because of her anger issues, we safety planned with her to obtain services and not be left alone with her kids until she completed services as Fort Hood ACS said she wouldn't show up to her classes.  My husband is in the Army and we PCS'd shortly after the incident, so unfortunately I was never able to see what happened.  I recently googled my name looking for an article, and I found this.  Wow...I can't believe it has been out there all this time.  I will say that my time with CPS was not about the money...starting caseworkers make around 34k a year and literally work around the clock.  I am now a professional, and have a career I love.  However, I would not trade my time working for the state of Texas and the many families in need in the Copperas Cove area for anything.  So, there you have it...that's my side and I'm sticking to it.
