Yes, I believe CPS do lie and do think of personsal profit. A relative of mine went through her child being taken away by cps for 'child neglect' and in court thier contracted lawyer used altered and twisted facts against her in court. They dug up her years old divorce that didnt have any influence on her or the child's life since the father was not even in the picture for years since he lives on a different continent. They also used the accusation "the mother refused to get cable television for her child" against her which is comic. Also, one of my close friend's friend is a cps worker and she told her about how much money they make off of every child they get into the system, "a fortune" in her own words. Is that what they view children as? Fortune generators?
I have to add that children that are taken to children's shelters are treated horribly there. I have heard about it from a child that was there herself. Brace yourselves, they get yelled at by supervisors and employees there. Some of the children are there because of 'child neglect' and false reports that werent proven wrong, then they get yelled at there? In one incident, the child did not know how to turn the shower on and mind you hot water can come out of those things and burn the child, but when the child asked for a supervisor's help all she got is yelled at and being told she must do it herself. Also, the child got thier first electric shock in that shelter because they left an exposed electric cable that required maintainance or replacement, very responsible and non neglegant indeed. They had a punishment room to keep kids in when they were 'bad'. Mind you they actually used the exact word "bad" to describe children that did not want to do what they were told to there. The room had nothing in it but a little blanket, it was winter. The 'bad kid' had to sleep in that room on the floor and stay there for some time. The kids were punished when they did not finish all thier food. They fed them rediculously big amounts of food.
Another fact is that cps take pictures of the child regularly and show them in court. They also take a picture of the child when they first arrive at the shelter when they're obviously still in shock and sad. Supposedly showing that the child gained weight and is smiling after being seperated from the parents is a good thing? They gave the child 4 injections of 'something', and they gave it to all the other kids there as well. And no it was not immunization. And they make it extremely difficult to get medical records. You have to have the child's physician call them at a specific phone number and request a form and it gets faxed then both doctor and parents have to fill it out and mail it and it takes a long time to get a reply and thier reply is "you did not send us enough information therfor you may not have the child's medical history/record at the shelter". The children gained several pounds within less than 2 weeks of getting the injections and were constantly hungry and overeating. What is worse, some children started developing early signs of puberty and reached puberty earlier. Those are very similar signs of being treated with steroids/ hormones. That is extremely inhumane and dangerous for those children's health if it is the case. Unfortunately, I havent found enough people with those concerns or more information so it is really difficult to prove anything.
Last but not least, my heart goes out to all the people suffering from the abuse and corruption of the CPS system. And I hope someday, we the people can defeat it and get our freedoms and our rights back.

You are so wrong they can get up to $85,000 per child from the federal bonus program. You would be surprised how many children they steal just for the money. Check out this video and there are many more all over the United States. I have permission to show this one so I am not violating anybodys rights. One thing to know while you watch this the woman in this video has never even had a traffic ticket while the case worker has a record and an active warrant for her arrest. She has taken copies to all of the media, and the governor, and senators, and representatives. Also the mother of the child and you will see the doctored drug test in the video. The mother has now been ordered to go to drug counseling for a drug test they doctored. DHS is not to be trusted they are snakes and will lie and break any and all laws to get what they want.

So you think that EVERY time children are taken by CPS Workers that they are justified? BULL and you know it! there are many many cases where they just come in and take the children because some family member or a neighbor got mad and decided they wanted revenge and so they turned soemone in to DHS to have their kids removed.

My daughter in law was constantly calling CPS about someone not doing this or that the way she thought should be done with their kids and she wasn't even taking care of her own right. I kept telling her to "mind her own business" but she is a busybody like alot of people are and believe me there are more people that like drama and would rather see you have your kids taken and give you grief in your life than wants you to be happy.

So I disagree with you and i am sure there are many more that do too!! Just read the stories that are posted on this site!!

The goal of CPS is to protect the kids no matter what the adults want. The family has already had their chance, and they screwed it up so badly that the government had to step in. Once that happens, they aren't sympathetic to the family. You can apply for custody, but unless you can to meet the standards for Foster Care, forget it.

Trying to get custody after the fact is very difficult because CPS figures if you were serious you would have acted earlier. If drug activity is involved, expect to lose. I've been involved (voluntarily) in Foster care for about ten years now, and I've yet to see CPS proved wrong. They took the kids that needed to be taken.

Just yesterday one of these "great fathers" that is griping to me about CPS taking his kids, blah blah, was busted with illegal automatic weapons and drugs. He even hid an AK 47 in his 6-year-old son's room.They found more illegal weapons in Grandpa's shed, so there goes the myth about grandparents. These are the people we deal with.

Hello,

It seems like every complaint in this category has a response from "L" which goes on ad nauseam about how DHS (DSS etc) steals children away from perfectly capable parents in order to make money. This is pure and simple hogwash. Every state has different laws regarding child protection, however, each state requires court action to remove a child. If a CPS worker is "lying", why dont the parents ever try to prove this in court? A worker must provide EVIDENCE of neglect/abuse/abandonment in order for the court to authorize the child remaining out of the parental home.

In Michigan we are legally required to place the child in the home of a relative unless the relative has a history of abusing children or a criminal record of violence/sexual abuse. I have never met a CPS worker who enjoys removing children from their parents home. Guess what happens when a child is killed by their parents in Michigan? CPS is called on the carpet and blamed for what happened even if the CPS workers have never laid eyes on the parents.

I have a suggestion for parents- especially women. 1) Do not have children with someone that abuses drugs or people 2) Do not have children unless you are able to take care of yourself first 3) If your partner harms you or your child- leave right away and dont go back 4) Be prepared for your entire life to be changed for at least 18 years after you give birth to your child. Quit blaming someone else for your family situation- it is not anyone elses fault that you had children with an idiot.

My first granddaughter, Grace was removed from my daughter's home in Lincoln, NE. in 1972. Grace was almost 1 year old. My daughter had gone to Grace's great grandfather's funeral. The person who gave her transportation there said he didn't have enough room for a baby seat.

It was said that Grace was being neglected by her babysitter, which was not true. Before this time, Grace was on a monitor for three months-like many infants these days. After losing her, the next few months were a nightmare. My daughter ended up losing her apt. and on the street.

History was repeating itself as my children were taken from me also. I succeeded in getting my youngest back, but never the oldest daughter. Her life is in shambles due to being bopped around from foster home to foster home and in institutions. My youngest, whom I ended up raising by myself, is doing fine. But before then she made some serious mistakes.

In the meantime, she had met a guy whom was abusive and she would be with for the next eight years-bearing three more children, Stephen, David, and Destiny. Her nightmares started all over again in Falls City, NE. Stephen and David had managed to get a window opened and crawled out as boys will do. What never made any sense is that there is no way they could have opened it by themselves.

My daughter and her boyfriend tried many times to open it so the boys could have fresh air in their room. It wouldn't budge. After reading this, and discussions with my daughter, I highly suspect that someone opened that window. Anyway, the boys were found in the street, and a neighbor called it in. My daughter wasn't even aware they were out of the house as she was in the kitchen.

When the police came to her house, and told her the boys were picked up for neglect, she burst into tears wanting to see her sons. She was refused. "You'll have to take it up with DHS and the judge on court day. By the way, the boys were heading in the direction they last saw their daddy going. They were only 3 and 4. I don't think 3 and 4 year olds can figure those kinds of things out by themselves.

They did get them back that time, but they were put on a rigid schedule of everything the boys did, they had to put in cable TV to keep them occupied, and they had to do write ups every day. They followed everything to the T, and it seemed like things were going well. But, no. My daughter got into it with his now, girlfriend, who would not let her into her own house to be with her sons. The authorities were called in again because my daughter, in her efforts to get into the house and at the woman who was holding them against their will, had hit the window, breaking it. The boys were picked up again.

Now DHS was looking for anyway to get the boys from her, and my daughter was pregnant again. They started offering her respite with a certain woman. (There is a reason why I'm bringing this up at this point, which I will explain later.) The woman, on occasion, would pick up the boys and keep them for the weekend. Stephen had been diagnosed with turex syndrome and both boys were diagnosed with ADD. Both were a handful, and it didn't help that their father was disrespectful to their mother.

Destiny was born. DHS went into full mode. Behind the scenes, questions were being asked as to what was the reason the children's clothes smelled. IT had something to do with her neigbors' dryer or the soap she was using. Either way, the boys smelled somewhat like urine.

Although no urine was actually found in their clothes, they held that against my daughter. By this time, her ex had gotten into drugs and left her for another woman. She still did what she could to take care of her children on her own. I live in a different state or I would have been there in a heart beat. My daughter was beyond herself with grief.

Besides that, she had started going to school to get her GED and was also working there. They had her scrubbing the tiles with a toothbrush like she was being punished for something.

One day, the boys went to school, and they never got to go home again. The school called them with the bogus complaint the boys were not fed before leaving that morning. Again, a lie. The boys said they were hungry. They saw the other kids eating breakfast at school so they wanted to eat something too. Typical behaviour for a child of their ages.

So when asked if they had breakfast, the boys said no. On that premise, and the fact that my daughter's boyfriend had not helped her with the cleaning; he promised to help with that and getting his boxes straightened up. She had told him he could store them there. This is what prompted DHS to grab the children for the last time.

My daughter was at the school working when they told her they had picked up the children. After a year and a half, and the obvious fact she could never meet their criteria, she signed open adoption papers with the woman who had taken them for respite on the weekends. She was waiting in the wings. She seemed to be so loving and caring to my daughter.

It was the agreement that my daughter could see the children twice a year and talk to them once a month. Shortly after my daughter lost them, she received an email from their adoptive mom stating the psychologist felt in was in the children's best interest to not have any contact with their mother.

Now we cannot see or talk to any of the children. I have not seen my grandchildren for over 13 years. Grace was born in 1971.

A last part of this story. Grace was also an open adoption and her adoptive mother also said it wasn't in her best interest to see or talk to my daughter or us. The bottom line is this.

Both adoptive mothers agreed to sending pictures and letters regarding the children. My daughter received one of Grace. There have never been any of Stephen, David or Destiny. Neither adoptive mother kept her promise to honor the open adoptions.

I have to say one thing though. I'm thankful they were adopted, not bounced around from foster home to foster home. As a misplaced child myself, I know how devastating this can be. I was removed for good reasons though. From what I've read here, bogus reports are made just so children can be taken from their loving, law abiding, caring parents. That is totally wrong.

Thanks for opening my eyes to what is really going on. I'm printing this rip off report and sending it to my daughter. She needs to know the truth. She has blamed herself long enough. Thanks for helping her to get beyond the guilt.

this is andrea a mother and a wife.... thursday night dss took my daughter from my home based on false allegations.... they said that me and my husband do drugs and basically we dont take care of her and i fled from state... how did i flee from the state when the social worker told me to take my daughter and leave the state.....me and my husband separated a couple of months ago and i got into a relationship, needless to say i had thoughts that the guy was hitting my daughter and it was true so i filed charges, instead of them getting the person they come after me, they tell me to do something then turn it all around"i fled" yeah right, see they all lie..... me and my husband took drug tests but they wont give us the results they wont let us hear nor see our child....they have ruined our life...now we have a hearing in the morning to let us know if we even get our daughter till the next court date which i doubt it. i just dont understand why dss would tell us they are coming to the house to check and they never show up, they were supose to come today to see if its ok for kailie, which need i remind you our hearing is in the morning....how are they gonna know its livable if they dont even come look..........

Sorry this response has turned out so long but the things needed to be reported so readers can better understand what is really going on in DHS/CPS.

Barry, read "Adoption 2002: Safe and Permanent Homes for All Children." You should be able to find a copy of the report by typing in the words on your internet "search" site.

The first paragraph of this report states, "The report, entitled "Adoption 2002," takes it's name from the President's goal to at least DOUBLE by the year 2002, the number of children adopted or permanently placed EACH YEAR."

Once you read that report and the Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA), you can better understand what is going to happen to YOUR grandchildren. Watch what I say! If you are lucky, you may see the children again before they're adopted to someone else after the parenting rights have been removed.

I recommend that you listen carefully for the lies DHS/CPS caseworkers will tell in juvenile court. They're very clever! They have been trained in how to lie to judged.

Once parenting rights have been removed as a result of the lies, DHS/CPS will say, "You are not able to 'protect' the children from the parents." Lawyers will recommend that you make a complete break with your own children. Now, no loving parent wants to break all relationship with their own child. However, that's a requirement of DHS/CPS and lawyers BEFORE you will be considered as placement for the children. They KNOW that you will usually have family gatherings at Christmas time and other holidays and they KNOW your children will be likely be invited to be there. No, you cannot protect your grandchildren from their parents if you're a loving parent. So, the children will be placed with someone who CAN 'protect' them from you and their parents.

Take the time to read the Grandparent Rights laws in your state. You will be surprised that you, as grandparent, have absolutely NO rights to see your grandchildren! What a shame. The people who can usualy be of great value to their upbringing, are not allowed grandparent rights.

Now that I've said all of that, I want to say a good word FOR foster parents. First, foster parents usually CARE about children. Most foster parents want to help children AND help the family correct the problems that CPS SAYS they have. Some parents may need financial help. Some parents may need to take a series of parenting classes to learn new ways to communicate with their children. Some parents just need a job that pays more than a minimum wage so they can find a home large enough for their family or in a neighborhood where it's SAFE to allow the children to play outside or in neighborhood parks. Yes, some parents just need a LITTLE help! No parent needs to have DHS/CPS involved in their life.

Again, foster parents sign on and take the training because they WANT to help the child an/or the biological family. They don't realize that DHS/CPS has plans to help the family that in no way agrees with the ideas the foster parents had in mind.

Foster parents seldom realize that DHS/CPS USES them to destroy the family and emotionally disable the children. That's what foster parenting has become in recent years because of the enactment and application of the ASFA.

Foster parents don't realize that when they tell the caseworker that the child is doing wonderful in their home, those are just the words DHS/CPS caseworkers want to hear so they can tell the juvenile judge, "The children are doing wonderful in the home with these foster parents. They have nice, clean, new clothes to wear! They have their own private bedroom. They have a pet that they cherish. They need to stay in that home!"

The DHS/CPS reports, "This child NOW has a home where the family has plenty of money to meet the financial needs of the children!" The judge hears all good things about the children and foster home so the children are retained in the foster home for month after month as the court actions proceed. Of course, if good things are NOT reported, the judge tells the DHS/CPS worker to find another foster home for the child.

The the report is not positive, the children are soon on the move from place to place, foster home to foster home until they are grown or until they can find a home where they can feel 'attachment' to the family.

All the while the court actions are proceeding, the children are becoming more and more attached to the foster parents. That's what DHS/CPS wants! Then, the DHS/CPS and the court appointed lawyer for the child will come out with, "Judge, these children are doing so wonderful in the foster home. They have become a 'part' of the integral family." So, the children are left to continue attachment to the foster parents.

Now, if the child doesn't become 'attached' to the foster parents, they are provided with a DHS contracted counselor who will help them become MORE attached. It is called "detachment disorder" counseling.

Foster parents are paid from $350 to near $1,000 or more per month for each foster child they have in their home. We read or hear where up to 7-8 children are in one single foster home. That amounts to $3,000 to $8000 PER MONTH that family is receiving from DHS/CPS.

The variance in the amount of money the foster parents are paid depends upon the disabilities of the child. Read your state foster parenting brochure that describes the amount of money the foster homes receive.

If the child is considered in the realm of normal, the foster family just gets $350+ per month. If the child has disabilities (birth related or from injuries) the foster parents are paid over $900.00+ each month to help the foster parents with expenses to care for the child's individual disabilities. The higher amount goes to help pay for transportation to and from special education classes, special physicians, special counselors or special supplies the child needs. That excludes the fees paid to DHS contracted physicians and counselors. Those expenses are paid through Medicare.

Now, don't misinterpret my concern about the money going to foster parents. It's well deserved for what they do. It's an invaluable service for the child. The problem lies in DHS/CPS's application of the ASFA.

DHS spends a great amount of money advertising for foster parents. They need lots of foster parents so they can USE them in their child disablement endeavors. Caring people hear about the 'need' for foster homes so they apply for and complete necessary paperwork and steps to be approved as a foster parent. Sometimes, when there is NOT an approved family available, DHS/CPS places the child in the home of parents who have NOT completed all of the necessary foster parenting classes.

There is usually a law that states that a child cannot remain in the 'shelter' more than thirty days. Overcrowding often occurrs in the local juvenile shelter, so the children are 'rushed' off to the home of an unapproved or 'temporary' foster home just to comply with legal demands.

As I said earlier, MOST foster parents WANT to help the child and WANT to help reunite the family. DHS/CPS tells the foster parents and the child LIES about how bad the parents are so the foster parents will turn to their side of the fence and help them get parenting rights removed from the parents.

Now, realize that the foster parents have had to sign a statement that is essentially a "GAG" order before they are allowed to be hired as foster parents. The information given to the foster parents by the caseworker has to be kept secret so it won't leak out to the parents or relatives. If a foster parent fails to sign the "GAG" order, the child is moved to a foster home where the "GAG" order will be signed and in effect.

The foster parents tell the caseworker about the things the child is doing in the home and how they are dealing with various situations, good or bad. If the caseworker thinks that she can find another foster home to move the child to, that will be done, if needed or suggested.

Laws of Oklahoma allow DHS/CPS caseworkers to move a child up to seventeen times for ANY reason. They're easily moved. Just put all of their personal belongings in a big black garbage bag, place it in the caseworker's vehicle and of they go to the new foster home. Just imagine what YOU would be like if you were moved from home to home up to seventeen times during your development years!

These little children in the 'protected custody' of DHS/CPS are being permanently damaged! There is absolutely NO doubt! They feel like the world has crashed in on them and often feel to blame. The child soon realizes that there is NO hope for him/her to find a home willing to help reunite the family and KNOWS for sure and certain that NO help will come from DHS/CPS. Oh, the 'kind' caseworker will try to convince the child that he/she wants what is BEST for him/her but that's NOT anywhere on their agenda as long as the ASFA is in place.

Sometimes, the child, at the height of depression from being moved from home to home, will run away. The child leaves with all of his/her personal belongings in a black garbage bag, just like the bag that was used to place them in that foster home. The child will appear to be in 'shambles' when they arrive in the foster home. Their hair looks terrible! Their clothing is four sizes too large, bagging all over the place. The children feel unwanted. That's DHS/CPS's program of 'child protection' at your service. Our tax dollars are paying for their services to children.

When the runaway child is found, he/she is immediately returned to the shelter and placed in juvenile court as a RUNAWAY. Soon, the child is placed in a DHS contracted shelter where their feelings of being unwanted is nurtured by caring DHS CONTRACTED service provider employees. The contracted shelter employees try to help the child 'adjust' to the demands of DHS/CPS and the juvenile judge.

This reporter will NEVER forget the thirteen year old resident of the grouphome where she was employed. The child wanted nothing more than to be allowed to write or call her grandmother. The court would NOT allow contact of any sort. Over the following weekend, the child was diagnosed, by a DHS contracted physician, as in need of mind-altering or experimental drugs. All the child needed was to be allowed to write a letter to her grandmother! She evidently had the idea that once she was in a group home, she would be able to contact her grandmother for visits. Why don't DHS/CPS caseworkers tell the child the truth?

When the foster home expresses a need for help, the caseworker refers them to contracting physicians to help with the medical needs of the child. The DHS contracted physician diagnoses the child and if he/she feels necessary will prescribe experimental or mind-altering drugs to 'help' the child adapt to the new home environment.

Remember, these physicians are PAID through contracts with DHS! If the physician doesn't follow the 'guidelines' required by DHS, another contracted physician will be employed to provide professional services for the child.

The caseworker sometimes refers the foster parents to contracted counseling service providers. The contracted counseling service providers maintain their business by following the desires and requirements of DHS/CPS. They KNOW that if the child recovers from the damages inflicted upon them, their services for that child wil end. The contracting counselor will have to request more children to 'counsel' so they can continue receiving funds to support their firm. That's what it's like to do contract business with DHS.

The BIG problem is that once DHS/CPS finds out about a family reportedly needing some help, they immediately have a police officer pick the children up and take them to a shelter 'to protect them' from what is going on in the home or in the neighborhood. The frightening experience of removing the child from the home immediately emotionally disables the child. CPS then hires their contracting physician to diagnose the child as "emotionally disabled" so they can place the child on Medicare and SSI (if the child can be diagnosed with handicaps) to pay those contractors and bring in funds for foster parents and other contractors.

Once the child is on Medicare and/or SSI, DHS/CPS caseworkers begin activating their false reports. Sometimes they gather reports from neighbors who don't even know the name of the child or the family. The neighbor may just want the family out of their neighborhood because of their race or religious beliefs. The neighbor may fabricate stories about seeing the child in the yard crying or wearing dirth play clothes. The neighbor may report that the child was seen playing down the street 'unsupervised' by the parents. The family may have a newer automobile than they have, making it a case of jealousy. The 'good' neighbor is SO happy when the children have finally been taken into custody. They say brag to other neighbors, "Just think! We won't have to look at or deal with those 'poor' children any more!"

The neighbor has no idea how much damage they have inflicted upon the parents and their children. All they care about is that the child is no longer in the neighborhood. "Now," they think, "If we can figure out a way to get the family to move out of the neighborhood, things will be great in this neighborhood." So, they develop a friendly, over the fence, chat with the parents whose children have been taken into custody.

The neighbor learns that the parents are devastated! They find that the expense of hiring a lawyer is unreal. So, they "help" them find a home OUTSIDE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD that the parents can afford as they pay every penny of their regular income to lawyers, excluding the income lost from appearances in court, if indeed, they can find a lawyer who is willing to fight DHS/CPS. Court appointed lawyers are available, if you QUALIFY. Court appointed lawyers are paid by the state to help DHS/CPS take parenting rights from the parents.

The state pays each court appointed lawyer from $50-150+ per hour spent on the case for each child or parent he/she represents in court. The court usually appoints a lawyer for any parent whose income is less and $1,800 per month. When any court appoints a lawyer for a low income parent or child, it is guaranteed income to that lawyer. Each child and each low income parent has the opportunity to have a different court appointed lawyer. So, if a family has four children that have been taken into custody, there could be as many as six court appointed lawyers on ONE case. As long as the court appointed lawyers can keep the case before the court, the lawyer is being paid through state funds.

If you doubt anything stated in this report, just take the time to do the research. The laws can often be found on the internet. You will be surprised!

Now, if school is in progress, the DHS/CPS Intake Worker will pay a visit to the school. The teachers will be asked if the child's clothes fit him/her correctly and if they're clean. They'll be asked if their teeth are brushed and hair combed. They'll be asked if the lunches are being paid for through the school lunch program. Then, the caseworker will talk to each teacher involved with each child. Those reports, whether good or bad, are made to look bad on the family. The DHS/CPS caseworker reports, "These children are being deprived!" The caseworker then decides that the child should not be returned to THAT school or to the parents.

Barry, these are just a few of the things you and your spouse and other members of your family can look forward to for the next few months. When you have time, look up applicable laws in your state. You'll soon see that everything I've reported in this article is right on target. I've even noticed that one law will say certain actions are OK but then later find that a different law overrules what that law states. I've found that DHS has their own 'Instructions to Staff' covering how they can apply certain laws. You will NOT believe the things I'm saying until you read it yourself!

Barry, read the Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 and its updates/reviews in your state. It will help you understand why DHS/CPS is taking in EVERY child they can get their hands on. It's all about money! Read the individual review of the ASFA from your state. You'll find, if it's included in the report, that DHS is raking in millions of dollars that's completely legal through the application of the ASFA. That's the reason caseworkers lie so much! It's all about money!

Read how much DHS is paid for each child they can adopt out. You'll be surprised to learn that as much as $100,000 is given to DHS for each child they can adopt, regardless of who they are adopted to. DHS chooses who to adopt the child to. Judges have very little influence upon the placement. You'll soon see how DHS rules over the juvenile judges. DHS finda a way to disable a judge's ruling so it will come out the way DHS wants it to be. Juvenile judges seldom realize, due to the increased number of cases, that DHS reports are filled to overflowing capacity with lies.

Oh, if juvenile judges only knew the truth!

In Oklahoma, the ASFA review of application reveals, in very brief summary, that (1) Oklahoma has too many employees leaving DHS/CPS employment, (2) Oklahoma doesn't have enough staff or time to train new employees and (3) Oklahoma can't figure out a way to deal with the father of a child. That's a 'birds eye' analysis or summary of Oklahoma's 2002 report of application of the ASFA. Read the entire report from your state.

Now, Barry, it will take a lot of your personal time to read all the reports and information. You'll even find DHS/CPS employees who will state that, "You can't believe what you read on the internet." But, when you look at WHERE the report originated, you'll see the report came from their own superiors in their Washington D.C. headquarters. Believe me! It's there!

Legislators need to be made better aware of the damages the ASFA is doing. The ASFA and every subsequent update and state supportive laws should be rescinded! Children who have been adopted as a result of application of the ASFA should be returned to the biological parents after a thorough judicial review of each case. Every juvenile judge needs to recognize the fact that DHS/CPS caseworkers continuously lie to them.

Not all juvenile judges are aware of the methods DHS/CPS is using to get the refunds and bonuses provided through the application of the ASFA. DHS/CPS employees and their supervisors KNOW what they can do to rake in money from the application of the ASFA and they're busy going about accomplishing their endeavors EVERY DAY.

My best to you, Barry, as you try to fight the system that has been authorized UNLIMITED funds to manage the 'protection of children' as they see can be done through application of the ASFA!

Sorry this response has turned out so long but the things needed to be reported so readers can better understand what is really going on in DHS/CPS.

Barry, read "Adoption 2002: Safe and Permanent Homes for All Children." You should be able to find a copy of the report by typing in the words on your internet "search" site.

The first paragraph of this report states, "The report, entitled "Adoption 2002," takes it's name from the President's goal to at least DOUBLE by the year 2002, the number of children adopted or permanently placed EACH YEAR."

Once you read that report and the Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA), you can better understand what is going to happen to YOUR grandchildren. Watch what I say! If you are lucky, you may see the children again before they're adopted to someone else after the parenting rights have been removed.

I recommend that you listen carefully for the lies DHS/CPS caseworkers will tell in juvenile court. They're very clever! They have been trained in how to lie to judged.

Once parenting rights have been removed as a result of the lies, DHS/CPS will say, "You are not able to 'protect' the children from the parents." Lawyers will recommend that you make a complete break with your own children. Now, no loving parent wants to break all relationship with their own child. However, that's a requirement of DHS/CPS and lawyers BEFORE you will be considered as placement for the children. They KNOW that you will usually have family gatherings at Christmas time and other holidays and they KNOW your children will be likely be invited to be there. No, you cannot protect your grandchildren from their parents if you're a loving parent. So, the children will be placed with someone who CAN 'protect' them from you and their parents.

Take the time to read the Grandparent Rights laws in your state. You will be surprised that you, as grandparent, have absolutely NO rights to see your grandchildren! What a shame. The people who can usualy be of great value to their upbringing, are not allowed grandparent rights.

Now that I've said all of that, I want to say a good word FOR foster parents. First, foster parents usually CARE about children. Most foster parents want to help children AND help the family correct the problems that CPS SAYS they have. Some parents may need financial help. Some parents may need to take a series of parenting classes to learn new ways to communicate with their children. Some parents just need a job that pays more than a minimum wage so they can find a home large enough for their family or in a neighborhood where it's SAFE to allow the children to play outside or in neighborhood parks. Yes, some parents just need a LITTLE help! No parent needs to have DHS/CPS involved in their life.

Again, foster parents sign on and take the training because they WANT to help the child an/or the biological family. They don't realize that DHS/CPS has plans to help the family that in no way agrees with the ideas the foster parents had in mind.

Foster parents seldom realize that DHS/CPS USES them to destroy the family and emotionally disable the children. That's what foster parenting has become in recent years because of the enactment and application of the ASFA.

Foster parents don't realize that when they tell the caseworker that the child is doing wonderful in their home, those are just the words DHS/CPS caseworkers want to hear so they can tell the juvenile judge, "The children are doing wonderful in the home with these foster parents. They have nice, clean, new clothes to wear! They have their own private bedroom. They have a pet that they cherish. They need to stay in that home!"

The DHS/CPS reports, "This child NOW has a home where the family has plenty of money to meet the financial needs of the children!" The judge hears all good things about the children and foster home so the children are retained in the foster home for month after month as the court actions proceed. Of course, if good things are NOT reported, the judge tells the DHS/CPS worker to find another foster home for the child.

The the report is not positive, the children are soon on the move from place to place, foster home to foster home until they are grown or until they can find a home where they can feel 'attachment' to the family.

All the while the court actions are proceeding, the children are becoming more and more attached to the foster parents. That's what DHS/CPS wants! Then, the DHS/CPS and the court appointed lawyer for the child will come out with, "Judge, these children are doing so wonderful in the foster home. They have become a 'part' of the integral family." So, the children are left to continue attachment to the foster parents.

Now, if the child doesn't become 'attached' to the foster parents, they are provided with a DHS contracted counselor who will help them become MORE attached. It is called "detachment disorder" counseling.

Foster parents are paid from $350 to near $1,000 or more per month for each foster child they have in their home. We read or hear where up to 7-8 children are in one single foster home. That amounts to $3,000 to $8000 PER MONTH that family is receiving from DHS/CPS.

The variance in the amount of money the foster parents are paid depends upon the disabilities of the child. Read your state foster parenting brochure that describes the amount of money the foster homes receive.

If the child is considered in the realm of normal, the foster family just gets $350+ per month. If the child has disabilities (birth related or from injuries) the foster parents are paid over $900.00+ each month to help the foster parents with expenses to care for the child's individual disabilities. The higher amount goes to help pay for transportation to and from special education classes, special physicians, special counselors or special supplies the child needs. That excludes the fees paid to DHS contracted physicians and counselors. Those expenses are paid through Medicare.

Now, don't misinterpret my concern about the money going to foster parents. It's well deserved for what they do. It's an invaluable service for the child. The problem lies in DHS/CPS's application of the ASFA.

DHS spends a great amount of money advertising for foster parents. They need lots of foster parents so they can USE them in their child disablement endeavors. Caring people hear about the 'need' for foster homes so they apply for and complete necessary paperwork and steps to be approved as a foster parent. Sometimes, when there is NOT an approved family available, DHS/CPS places the child in the home of parents who have NOT completed all of the necessary foster parenting classes.

There is usually a law that states that a child cannot remain in the 'shelter' more than thirty days. Overcrowding often occurrs in the local juvenile shelter, so the children are 'rushed' off to the home of an unapproved or 'temporary' foster home just to comply with legal demands.

As I said earlier, MOST foster parents WANT to help the child and WANT to help reunite the family. DHS/CPS tells the foster parents and the child LIES about how bad the parents are so the foster parents will turn to their side of the fence and help them get parenting rights removed from the parents.

Now, realize that the foster parents have had to sign a statement that is essentially a "GAG" order before they are allowed to be hired as foster parents. The information given to the foster parents by the caseworker has to be kept secret so it won't leak out to the parents or relatives. If a foster parent fails to sign the "GAG" order, the child is moved to a foster home where the "GAG" order will be signed and in effect.

The foster parents tell the caseworker about the things the child is doing in the home and how they are dealing with various situations, good or bad. If the caseworker thinks that she can find another foster home to move the child to, that will be done, if needed or suggested.

Laws of Oklahoma allow DHS/CPS caseworkers to move a child up to seventeen times for ANY reason. They're easily moved. Just put all of their personal belongings in a big black garbage bag, place it in the caseworker's vehicle and of they go to the new foster home. Just imagine what YOU would be like if you were moved from home to home up to seventeen times during your development years!

These little children in the 'protected custody' of DHS/CPS are being permanently damaged! There is absolutely NO doubt! They feel like the world has crashed in on them and often feel to blame. The child soon realizes that there is NO hope for him/her to find a home willing to help reunite the family and KNOWS for sure and certain that NO help will come from DHS/CPS. Oh, the 'kind' caseworker will try to convince the child that he/she wants what is BEST for him/her but that's NOT anywhere on their agenda as long as the ASFA is in place.

Sometimes, the child, at the height of depression from being moved from home to home, will run away. The child leaves with all of his/her personal belongings in a black garbage bag, just like the bag that was used to place them in that foster home. The child will appear to be in 'shambles' when they arrive in the foster home. Their hair looks terrible! Their clothing is four sizes too large, bagging all over the place. The children feel unwanted. That's DHS/CPS's program of 'child protection' at your service. Our tax dollars are paying for their services to children.

When the runaway child is found, he/she is immediately returned to the shelter and placed in juvenile court as a RUNAWAY. Soon, the child is placed in a DHS contracted shelter where their feelings of being unwanted is nurtured by caring DHS CONTRACTED service provider employees. The contracted shelter employees try to help the child 'adjust' to the demands of DHS/CPS and the juvenile judge.

This reporter will NEVER forget the thirteen year old resident of the grouphome where she was employed. The child wanted nothing more than to be allowed to write or call her grandmother. The court would NOT allow contact of any sort. Over the following weekend, the child was diagnosed, by a DHS contracted physician, as in need of mind-altering or experimental drugs. All the child needed was to be allowed to write a letter to her grandmother! She evidently had the idea that once she was in a group home, she would be able to contact her grandmother for visits. Why don't DHS/CPS caseworkers tell the child the truth?

When the foster home expresses a need for help, the caseworker refers them to contracting physicians to help with the medical needs of the child. The DHS contracted physician diagnoses the child and if he/she feels necessary will prescribe experimental or mind-altering drugs to 'help' the child adapt to the new home environment.

Remember, these physicians are PAID through contracts with DHS! If the physician doesn't follow the 'guidelines' required by DHS, another contracted physician will be employed to provide professional services for the child.

The caseworker sometimes refers the foster parents to contracted counseling service providers. The contracted counseling service providers maintain their business by following the desires and requirements of DHS/CPS. They KNOW that if the child recovers from the damages inflicted upon them, their services for that child wil end. The contracting counselor will have to request more children to 'counsel' so they can continue receiving funds to support their firm. That's what it's like to do contract business with DHS.

The BIG problem is that once DHS/CPS finds out about a family reportedly needing some help, they immediately have a police officer pick the children up and take them to a shelter 'to protect them' from what is going on in the home or in the neighborhood. The frightening experience of removing the child from the home immediately emotionally disables the child. CPS then hires their contracting physician to diagnose the child as "emotionally disabled" so they can place the child on Medicare and SSI (if the child can be diagnosed with handicaps) to pay those contractors and bring in funds for foster parents and other contractors.

Once the child is on Medicare and/or SSI, DHS/CPS caseworkers begin activating their false reports. Sometimes they gather reports from neighbors who don't even know the name of the child or the family. The neighbor may just want the family out of their neighborhood because of their race or religious beliefs. The neighbor may fabricate stories about seeing the child in the yard crying or wearing dirth play clothes. The neighbor may report that the child was seen playing down the street 'unsupervised' by the parents. The family may have a newer automobile than they have, making it a case of jealousy. The 'good' neighbor is SO happy when the children have finally been taken into custody. They say brag to other neighbors, "Just think! We won't have to look at or deal with those 'poor' children any more!"

The neighbor has no idea how much damage they have inflicted upon the parents and their children. All they care about is that the child is no longer in the neighborhood. "Now," they think, "If we can figure out a way to get the family to move out of the neighborhood, things will be great in this neighborhood." So, they develop a friendly, over the fence, chat with the parents whose children have been taken into custody.

The neighbor learns that the parents are devastated! They find that the expense of hiring a lawyer is unreal. So, they "help" them find a home OUTSIDE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD that the parents can afford as they pay every penny of their regular income to lawyers, excluding the income lost from appearances in court, if indeed, they can find a lawyer who is willing to fight DHS/CPS. Court appointed lawyers are available, if you QUALIFY. Court appointed lawyers are paid by the state to help DHS/CPS take parenting rights from the parents.

My best to you, Barry, as you try to fight the system that has been authorized UNLIMITED funds to manage the 'protection of children' as they see can be done through application of the ASFA!

Grandparents have no rights to the children, even if they have been living with you since birth. The only recourse you would have is if you had something from the mother saying you had guardianship of the child. (There is legal name for this but it's slipping my mind at the moment) Keep after CPS also check about how to go about being a foster parent to your grandkids. Much easier to adopt them if you already have them in your home.

The big deal with DHS and their CPS is applying the Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997. This ASFA promotes DHS/CPS taking in children. Their ultimate goal is Adoption. Once they get their hands on any child, they immediately lie and fabricate stories so they can remove ALL parenting rights from the parents. Once the parenting rights are removed from the parents of your grandchildren, DHS will work fast at Adopting your grandchildren out to anyone THEY wish them to be adopted. The most recent push is to get the parenting rights removed and the children adopted within six months!

I'm sure you can't believe this. If you'll read the reports I've previously submitted, you'll find that numerous lies have been fabricated in our case. I've listed most of them on the ripoff site under my name.

My grandchildren (my ONLY grandchildren) have been adopted to the foster home "because they're doing so wonderful there." One of the grandchildren is so emotionally disturbed by the things DHS/CPS has done that he is no longer emotionally able to attend classes in a public school.

I'm sorry to report to you that their next step is to remove ALL parenting rights. That is necessary in order for them to be adopted by anyone.

Be aware that the Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 provides DHS with enormous rewards and bonuses from Medicare and SSI so they can continue their endeavors. Some of the rewards can be located on the internet under ASFA updates or activation in each state. Read them for yourself. Each state is pulling down enormous rewards and bonuses from through Medicare and SSI because of the ASFA.

We need to band together and find a lawyer who will take DHS to task for their lies and fabrications. Read some of the things they've done to my little grandchildren. DHS is a shameful part of our country.

Yes, indeed! This is America. Sorry to say that America is allowing DHS to do these things on the pretext of "What's in the interest of what's BEST for the children!"

Virtually EVERY child that DHS takes into custody is immediately diagnosed by THEIR contractor as being Emotionally Disabled. Who wouldn't be "emotionally disabled" the way DHS is handling these little children. The big thing to DHS is finding Foster Families to help them destroy little children.

Please help fight the fight. We need to write to our congressmen and women to let them know what the ASFA is doing to little children. This has to stop! Americans need to know about the ASFA and it's subsequent state legislative actions to support ts compliance. The ASFA began, I think, as a support to help children who have been in foster care for 4+ years for various reasons. Many of the children have family members who are incarsurated and WILL be fore several years. Those children NEED to be able to communicate with their parents and loved ones.

This just doesn't make sense for someone to be in jail for a few years to be forced to relinquish their parenting rights. It's all about SWIFT ADOPTIONS to get the money into the DHS coffers. Once a child has been diagnosed as emotionally disabled, DHS can have their contracting physician prescribe mind-altering drugs to the child. What horrors!

Please Barry, let's get the ASFA rescinded. This just has to stop! DHS is in the business of stealing little children from loving parents and relatives. They get rewards and bonuses for EVERY child they can adopt.

They have been or will be rewarded over $100,000 for adopting my grandchildren AND worse of all, the children will grow up thinking that their family no longer loves them. Those poor little children are lied to by their lawyer, their counselor AND DHS caseworker.

Read my ripoff report in another site.

Barry, I'm so sorry you and your children have been caught up in this destruction effort. I hope foster parents will soon realize that DHS is NOT in the business of helping families or little children that the foster parents are caring for. They are ONLY interested in removing parenting rights so they can get their rewards and bonuses from the ASFA.

Please take the time to read my report about the fictitious witnesses, lies, false reports, etc. It is no doubt you and your family will experience similar things. I'm so sorry that so many families and little children are being destroyed just so DHS can get their rewards and bonuses. The ASFA should be repealed NOW and return ALL little children who have been adopted to their loving biological family. This is totally senseless other than the MONEY. It's ALL about MONEY to feed DHS/CPS and their humongous numbers of contractors.

By the way, if any DHS contractor (doctor, lawyer, caseworkers, homestudy workers etc.) do NOT comply with their request to take all parenting rights away from the parents, they are swiftly replaced by a contractor who WILL abide by their requests. CASA workers and Guardian ad Litems are removed from cases, too, if they don't comply with what DHS wants. Juvenile Judges have NO chance to do what is right for children. If a judge returns a child to the family, DHS is immediately angered with the judge and fights even harder to get the lies in the records. Just watch! This is happening in your case.
