          Children and youth has been in my life on and off since 2009. The first time they came to my house on drug accusations took my daughter without even testing me. I came up clean every single test they gave me. Second time in 2011 I had left my husband due to him being a drunk. I gave my mother temporary custody of my children so i did not have to bring them from place to place with me until i got enough money for my own place. 

           some one called and told children and youth i was homeless and pregnant on the streets with my kids. My children were safe at my moms i went to my mothers everyday with them and slept at friends houses. Children and youth opened a case and gave my mother custody. I got a place not even a moth later and they kept my kids from me and i couldnt even have them on my own to visit. 

             I had my son in may 2012. My mother had my children for a total of 6 months before i got them back. The third case started in August 2013 a week after my last son was born. My 4 year old daughter picked up my week old newborn and carried him through my living room while i was putting their lunch plates in the sink. I seen her and i quickly took the baby and layed him down and checked to make sure he was okay. I smacked her butt. I then woke up her step dad and told him what happened and asked him to come downstairs while i went out for a cigarette.

            My daughter went to her fathers later on that day. The next day children and youth showed up at my door with police to come take my two boys i had at home. They also took my son and daughter from their fathers house. They said there was a significant mark on her buttox. I told them i smacked her butt for what she had done but there is no way i left bruising.

            My mother called me and came to my house to show me the picture of my daughters mark on her butt. it was a handprint of broken blood vessels from a hand twice the size of mine. About a week or so later i found out that my younger two childrens father had smacked her butt again while i was outside having my cigarette. I was not aware of him doing this and my daughter never even told me that he did. He did not know i had already smacked her butt. He never has smacked any of my/our children before.

           He has heavy hands and did not realize the force he used on such a little girl. I immediatly told children and youth about the new information. They found me and nicholas(step father/father) indicated for child abuse. They told me to appeal mine. Nicholas was not aware he can appeal his. We had court Aug. 19th 2013. They said i can see my daughter 30-60 days after their investigation. They changed what they said in court.

          I did not recieve court papers until 2 months after the hearing and the court papers said no contact until further court hearing. I asked for a hearing multiple times. I did not get a hearing until the end of Feb. 2014. I did not see my daughter for 7 and a half months!!!

          Me and nicholas have been doing every class they gave us. I did my drug and alcohol evaluation which was found i did not need treatment because i have never came up hot for any tests they have ever given me. I did my mental health evaluation.  We are currently in parenting classes. Now they finally gave me supervised visits at my mothers house in june 2014. I went to my mothers that day and she left me there with her husband and my sister. 

           Children and youth showed up saying they recieved a call that i was there with the children alone. My moms husband was sleeping. He ate dinner, took a shower, and fell asleep. They said we violated because he fell asleep but my sister was also there with me. They took away my visits at her house now. I had to tell my kids i wasnt allowed there anymore. 

           This has been a big change in their life already and now i have to be in it less again. I have never hiurt my children or neglected them in anyway. I do everything right by my children. Now they said i have 18 months starting from aug. 2013 to get my kids back or they r adopting them out because this is my third time being involved.

          Although the last case may have been a reason to open a case the first two times i was involved were revenge calls from my sister. They should be irrelevant to this whole matter. Who gets to decide whether a person can have their children or not. They are safe, fed, bathed, taken care of, and loved every day with me. I am not a drug addict, i do not beat my children, and i do not neglect my children. I do not understand how people can just adopt out my children with these reasons. 

          Something must be done with this agency!!

it is MORE kids 4 cash

 Everyone knows these people running childern and youth are SCUM. They are taking kids 4 profit .... I do not understand how the FEDERAL government lets this continue. The people (if you can call them that ) who work there know they have all POWER. The judges who here the cases are in CPS pocket and do exactly what CPS tells them they wasnt. It is all 1 sided. CPS even picks the lawyers for the parents who have had thier childern KIDNAPPED by these EVIL so  called people. I believe that 1 day soon, the Feds. will HAVE to step in . Then the kidnapping will STOP and these scumbags will be behind bars , where they belong. What the people of this county need is for someone like Dr. Phil to shine a light on the abuse of parents and thier childern. BECAUSE this is CHILD ABUSE when they are ripped from thier parents arms and placed with people who only want a check. From what i hear, CPS gets $125.00 per child per day , and pays out $24.00 per day, per child to the foster parents, nice profit !!!!

i was involved the first time for drugs ive never done. i was not even givin a test until after they took my child from my home. i came up clean and have always came up clean. i talkes to supervisors and caseworks and all they said was they took my daughyer for drugs!!! i got a new caseworker who said they should have never taken her from me without testing me and ahould have investigated before taking her which they dis not!! that caseworker gave my daughter back to me. then years later i left my hisband for being a drunk waking my kids up on purpose at 1 in the morning would break stuff in our house and ur telling me i should not have lwft that situation and went to my mothers? they came ro my moms and said it was okay that we were there and then came back a month later cause  I found out i was pregnant. and opened a case?  i dont see how any of that could be my fault when every action i did was to keep my children safe. and as for how manu kids i have i like kids i have four children and i can afford them. when i left my hisband he kept the house and the car so no i dis not have a job at that time and had no where else to go but my moms. clearly you do not know what you are talking about. ues the agency does help children that need it but some of them are also corrupt and open cases for money. and it needs to be looked into.

Think about it

 You have had an open case file for 5 years!! Therefore you are no angel!  SO if you do not like the way CPS does their job then improve your situation. Stop having kids you cannot afford, stop pawning them off on your Mother and stop blaming everyone but yourself!! YOU are the one who chose to put your kids in another home, YOU are the one who had kids and then YOU go and blame an agency in place to help KIDS in danger!

The average pay for a CPS worker is about $34,000 a year with an average case of 80+ cases a month!! YOU learn to live on that!!  AND to be assaulted, threatened, shot at etc etc. 

START taking responsibility for your OWN actions and stop playing the BLAME GAME!!!
