Hillary Clinton Behind CYS Child Kidnappings





This sick and demented woman is the main person who started the kidjacking and increased the profit incentives for these agencies to get out of control.  She truly believes that the government is better at raising our children than parents.  What an idiot!!  Contact your local legislators and tell them your story about CYS abuse, taking children, denying rights, forcing termination of parental rights and adopting out our babies for profit.  Tell them we want oversight of CYS and the incentives of big money to STOP!!!  Put the money into keeping families together and helping secure that children remain with parents if at all possible.  Berks county cases up 191% according to DA John Adams.  You think that would be the red flag that something is way wrong.  Nope.  Chalks it up to mandated reporting.  The heroin crisis is really allowing CYS to steal babies.  BEWARE!  We need change.  Please contact your state and local people voted into office to work for our families.

10 Things You Must Do if CYS is Investigating You

10 Things You Should do if CPS or DCFS is Investigating You

10 Things You Should do if CPS or DCFS is Investigating You

1: Take any accusations seriously.

No matter how absurd or unbelievable the CPS/DCFS social worker’s claim(s) may seem, please understand that the social worker is dead serious, and most likely presumes –no… most likely BELIEVES that you are guilty as accused. Even if the social worker doesn’t admit that s/he is at your home to take your children, often times that IS EXACTLY why they are there. It is our experience, over 20+ years, that the majority of CPS social workers develop a cynical view of life and assume that you are UTTERLY GUILTY until YOU PROVE that you are not: the opposite of the way the “justice system” is supposed to operate.

2: Ask what the accusations and charges are.

Most typically, the CPS/DCFS social worker wants to keep you from knowing exactly what you have been accused of — sort of keeping themselves on a “general fishing expedition” — but it is required by state and federal law to tell you the exact details of the accusations at first contact with you. Be wary! Do not settle for the vague and general charges called “neglect” or “abuse.” Neglect and abuse are broad categories – not the legally-required “details” of the accusations or charges! You are entitled to know the “details & specifics” of what you are accused of committing.

3: Say as little as possible. In fact – BE QUIET!

In criminal law it is ALWAYS strongly suggested that you talk to NO ONE but your attorney. Think about it. Virtually ALL CHARGES that CPS or DCFS levels against you are CRIMINAL CHARGES. And while CPS or DCFS is there ONLY to take your kids, the police can and often will show up later for the parents! In fact, open your mouth and tell the CPS investigator just enough to “make their case” and you can start packing an overnight case as the police will be called by CPS who will be at your door to take you away.
Sure, it is totally natural that innocent parents who have nothing to hide will want to explain everything to a CPS social worker because such parents would assume that ANY reasonable person would see that there is nothing wrong going on. But CPS and DCFS social workers are commonly ANYTHING BUT reasonable. They become entrenched in a culture that is uniformly cynical about ALL PARENTS. Frankly, you are presumed guilty by the majority of CPS and DCFS agents. The exhausted, over-worked social worker who just fought the crowded freeways to make it to your home is there on a mission. That mission is most often to find evidence to support what the social worker already believes to be true – that you abused your child just as the neighbor, relative or anonymous tipster claimed.
If you don’t talk to them –just as you are always told to never voluntarily talk with the police if they are accusing you of a crime– you take their power away. They will not be able to use your own admissions, statements, and your very words against you. For example” “Have you ever spanked your toddler?” Do you really think there is a good answer to that question? The majority of CPS and DCFS social workers abhor most any form of parental punishment.

4: The minute you become aware that your family is being investigated, YOU MUST find an attorney who has experience in fighting CPS or DCFS.

An attorney EXPERIENCED in CPS and DCFS cases and courts is mandatory! Juvenile Dependency courts are worlds unto themselves. Your most seasoned and experienced lawyers when first stepping foot into a Juvenile Dependency courtroom are totally dumb struct as if they stepped into It’s a Small World at Disneyland. Most lawyers –even experienced Family Law attorneys– who are not experienced with CPS/DCFS mistakenly think that it is their job (as it would be in any other court setting) to find out what CPS or DCFS wants and then communicate all the details to their clients. Shockingly, doing exactly that often leads to total disaster and the loss of your children.

5: Be courteous and polite to CPS social workers & investigators.

Let’s face it, when a “government investigator” –without any advanced notice– knocks insistently on your door, well-dressed, looking all official with a county badge; exuding the authority of the government; is well-prepared, PRIMED and READY to level accusations of child abuse or neglect against you: most people would be SHOCKED! If you’re human you’d also be scared too. As government is getting bigger and bigger every year they are getting more and more powerful and intrusive in the lives of ordinary citizens. We are all a bit nervous and threatened by the power of the state as we witness weekly examples of government power wielded unfairly on Investigative TV News programs and in the lives of our own families and friends.
What could your reaction possibly be to a surprise home-visit from a government agent? No one appreciates surprise visits by any one! Perhaps the dishes are unwashed; maybe you haven’t cleaned house for a day or two; say that there are a collection of beer bottles on the coffee table from the football game the day before; could be that you’re not dressed in appropriate attire as you would be IF EXPECTING guests… So when you are surprised and ACCUSED TO YOUR FACE of child neglect or child abuse it might be natural that you are shocked, defensive, upset, angry and a little hostile. As Homer Simpson would say: “Do’ah!”
Guess what? An angry demeanor toward the CPS social worker or DCFS investigator is considered evidence of your guilt. Your perfectly natural, upset and angry reaction to being accused of harming your child will very OFTEN BE USED as evidence of your violent and abusive personality.

6: Never invite any CPS or DCFS social worker or investigator into your home unless he or she has a warrant or court order.

If a County CPS/DCFS social worker requests that you invite them into your home politely refuse. If he or she insists or suggests that not allowing entry will work against you or will ensure that your children are taken away from you HOLD YOUR GROUND. Politely ask to see their warrant or court order to come into your home. It the CPS social worker or investigator claims to have a warrant, insist on seeing it: in fact they owe you a copy!Why? Would a Social worker lie? YES. Police and government agents often suggest they have a warrant or outright lie and claim to have a warrant when they do not. It makes their task of finding needed evidence against you so much easier! If the CPS/DCFS government agent cannot produce a warrant, firmly but politely tell them that they will have to remain outside until a warrant is presented. They will be annoyed. But you will be far better off – legally. If the agent says it is an EMERGENCY call their bluff. Insist that they explain how it is an emergency and what constitutes an emergency. Typically, in so-called “emergency situations,” the police and the CPS social workers come together and even then it is not necessarily an emergency but a working relationship that some CPS agents have with associates on the police force.
Do not even open the door to allow the CPS agent look into your home to see your children: they can see something that creates an “emergency situation” even if it is not true.
Be FIRM. You should not waiver nor give in to thinking: “What’s the harm?” There is no compromise here: no exception. If you invite a County CPS investigator or a Los Angeles DCFS social worker into your home, you have just waived your Federally-protected fourth amendment constitutional protection. Just like a police detective intent on hauling you to the police station for questioning would love for you to willingly invite them into your home, a CPS social worker who is openly or secretly intent on taking your children from you WILL FIND SOMETHING IN YOUR HOME TO JUSTIFY THE REMOVAL OF YOUR KIDS.
This happens every day all over America and even more often in Southern California where CPS and DCFS agents are the most ruthless social workers anywhere. The bar for removal is “whatever it needs to be” as far as the social worker is concerned. A legal prescription in your bathroom cabinet, a beer bottle on the coffee table, a kitchen knife not in the drawer, a broken window, a back door without a deadbolt, a missing smoke detector, a swimming pool without its own secondary safety fence: whatever might be necessary to fill out the paperwork to justify removal. If this particular social worker set out to take your child, allowing them innocently into your house will ensure that your child is taken from you. You now have a year or a lifetime of HELL before you.

7: Demand that CPS tape any interrogation of your child.

Subjective reports of what a child said or did not say is hardly ever adequate. Ask that any interrogation be recorded. You could produce your own recorder (as a back-up) just in case the CPS or DCFS investigator “loses” their tape between the interrogation and a subsequent court hearing where you might have “wished” that you had such a tape.

8: If you are accused of physical abuse, immediately have your doctor give your child a thorough physical exam.

Ask your doctor to write a letter stating that there are no bruises or injuries observed, nor any other health-related issues that would raise any concern or suspicion of child abuse or neglect. Obviously go to a doctor whom you trust. If a CPS or DCFS social worker suggests a doctor for you, or suggests that they know where you can see a doctor at NO CHARGE (as attractive as that may be), NEVER visit with a doctor recommended by CPS. What you may not know is that these doctors are a regular part of the CPS system and they are commonly called as expert-testimony witnesses by CPS as a witness against the parents. They are paid handsomely for their testimony.

9: Create a list of relatives and friends who are willing and able to care for your children if CPS takes them.

If your children are removed from your home, or the court is demanding that your children must soon leave your home for some period of time it is always better that your children are taken in by relatives or friends. Are you aware that children placed in foster care are sometimes abused or mistreated by people working the foster care system for a “pay check?” There is the flip side to that where some truly loving foster parents sometimes become smitten with your kids and start their own campaign with the court and petition for adoption! Having your kids in foster care is simply adding one more level of stress and complexity to your plate.

10: Never admit guilt, even if pressured by a CPS social worker to do so in exchange for leniency or getting your kids back.

If you are innocent of neglect or abuse why would you buckle to the pressure of a CPS agent’s demands to have you admit to false accusations? If you are accused or charged with neglect because someone has informed the county CPS system that you are addicted to drugs or alcohol, the social worker who is investigating those accusations may have good-reason to be concerned for your kids’ safety.
Even if you privately agree that maybe you drink too often or too much that does not mean that you have to incriminate yourself in this investigation. Bite your tongue. Admit NOTHING! Even if you recognize that you have a problem that needs to be addressed this is not your DOCTOR; this is not your PRIEST; this is not your LAWYER. Wrong person! Wrong time! This person is not here to HEP YOU. This person is here to collect evidence to support the accusations made against you and to TAKE YOUR KIDS. Period.
Do not admit guilt. Instead, work with your doctor, pastor or even your private CPS defense attorney to find the professional help you might need need (and professional help that the courts will recognize – no sense paying twice because a treatment program is not court-approved). By NOT ADMITTING GUILT, you can then honestly work on any issues you have and work with the court to keep your kids under your roof or to get your kids returned to you when appropriate.
By mistakenly thinking that admitting guilt to a social worker is justified is often a fast trip to jail – removing many of the options that you need right now to get your life in order. In any potentially-criminal situation NEVER voluntarily do anything until you contact an attorney: preferably a compassionate and understanding attorney who works with parents, kids and the Juvenile Dependency Courts on a daily basis. They will offer you frank advice that will be better than unnecessarily sitting locked behind bars. CPS social workers and investigators are not above lying to you to encourage you to confess or admit to something that you might not even be guilty of – just to get you arrested and your kids in their control.

Why CYS Would Rather Adopt Your Child Out to Strangers

by Brian Shilhavy
Health Impact News
We are very pleased to see local media investigate the corrupt practices of child service agencies kidnapping children. While we disagree with the News Anchor at N.C. Fox 8 who started this report by stating that removal of children by the State is “almost always” in the best interest of the child (we have been covering this issue probably longer and have looked into probably more cases than they have, and we have found that it is almost NEVER in the best interest of the child to remove them from the home), we do applaud their investigation into why children removed from supposed “abusive homes” are almost never placed with family members, but instead go into the foster care system to strangers.
Fox 8 points out in their investigation that North Carolina rejects funding that would put children permanently with relatives instead of in foster homes. Grandparents who are able and willing to care for their grandchildren, for example, are routinely rejected by the State.
Why?
Melissa Painter of Fox 8 points out that in North Carolina more than 10,000 children are in foster care under the care of the State. This brings in more than $198 million of funding to take care of these children.
Federal laws actually require states to give preference to placing children with relatives. There is even federal funding available to place the children with relatives in “permanent legal guardianships.” But North Carolina (and many other states) do not follow this practice, because children put up for adoption bring in more federal funding. Instead of giving federal funds that can be designated for relatives in guardianships, they keep the funds for themselves to administer the foster care and adoption system.
In short, a child put into the foster care system on the path to adoption, brings in more money to the State and employs more people to “administer” these children. They are simply unwilling to give these funds to relatives to take care of the children, because their job security is at stake.
Child welfare experts say subsidized guardianships save taxpayers money in the long run, because they cut the enormous ADMINISTRATIVE costs of managing an open foster care case. (emphasis added.)

Open Letter to ADOPTIVE PARENTS

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS
BY GERI PFEIFFER
You have chosen my child from the forced adoption process perpetrated by child protective services in the United States. He's "yours" now. A corrupt family court judge has used a tainted, federally approved, systematic method of lies and forced alienation to Legally Kidnap my child. I was going to lose my child at all costs in the quest for federal funding by a state agency who will stop at nothing to get custody of my child.
My child is now with strangers. That stranger is you. How did you choose my child? Did you "shop" for a family on those disgusting adoption sites that tout the child's best qualities? Or were you a prospective adoptive parent posing as a foster parent, so you could see the "real child", and decide if he is a match for the family you are building? Was the adoption bonus or the tax credits a consideration in your decision?
Was my child's physical appearance evaluated? Did you bypass children of color, long term, or older foster children in your quest for the perfect fit? Do you really thing the caseworker was truthful about my child's background? Do my questions offend you? I do have a few more.
In your decision to refuse biological family contact, did you consider the breaking hearts of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and especially the cousins? These members of my child's family were eliminated for consideration in a qualification process that only Jesus Christ and eleven of the disciples could pass. How would you feel if your favorite relative had been banned from your life forever?
My child loved his poppy, memaw, auntie, "unck" or cuz. He was held, spoiled, cherished, and deeply loved by all of his family. ARE WE REALLY SUPPOSED TO TURN AWAY AND PRETEND OUR CHILD NO LONGER EXISTS? Would you? I suppose you are getting fairly upset and indignant by now and your thought is, "if you hadn't done something wrong you wouldn't have lost your child". Am I right? I have just a few more questions and thoughts I'd like to share with you because after today I will be expected to proceed in life as though the child that I love, doesn't exist. At what point should a child's constitutional rights to his biological, ethnic, and religious heritage be shoved aside for Title IV funding? According to child protective services those rights do not exist for my child. Was my child molested in state's custody? Should I lose my child for anything less than abuse beyond a reasonable doubt. My constitution says no. Unfortunately the family court I have been subjected to uses the cloak of privacy rights to operate outside of constitutional due process.
Just a few last questions and you may proceed with your plans for my‪#‎TAKEN‬ child.
Does my child cry out in the night for me? Do you comfort him? Does he tell you he wants to go home? Does he ask for his siblings? Do you tell him that we love him? Does he still have his favorite toy from home? Did you change his first name? You do know that a name change in older children traumatizes them for life? Do you tell him the truth about his biological family? That we are waiting for our child to find us? That we will NEVER stop looking for our child? Do you realize that you cannot successfully erase us from our child's existence? If my child dies will you inform me? These questions and a million more roil in every waking thought I have. I assure you, even though I am expected to proceed in life as though my child never existed, I CANNOT! There will never be a day that I can reconcile myself to the fact that my government, in the country I loved, confiscated a living breathing human being for profit. I know you feel you adopted for all the right reasons and that is your justification for taking my child. All your right reasons are all my wrong reasons. Just remember that.
Remember this too...I will NEVER stop loving and looking for my child, no matter what the consequences. So don't be surprised when I appear at an unexpected time in the future...after all, I was the one blessed with the God given right to be my child's biological parent. A corrupt government, family court judge, cps agency, hell or high water, Satan, nor you can take that away from me or my child. You might change it for a little while but as the old saying goes, "blood is thicker than water". Hide behind your illegal adoption, and a corrupt judge. It won't help you. We won't ever stop loving, or looking for our #TAKEN children. There are now hundreds of thousands of biological family members experiencing the very things I have written in this letter to you. Just because something is "within the law" doesn't mean it's morally correct. I want you to look into my child's eyes and tell him I love him, tell him I exist, tell him I'll never stop looking until I find him and bring him home.

ALIENATION you would be punished but for CYS it is part of THE PLAN

THE FORCED ALIENATION OF YOUR CHILDREN BY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES
At the very moment your child was ‪#‎TAKEN‬ into cps custody a premeditated plan of forced alienation from biological family was set in motion. Please remember that the primary goal of cps is federal funding by placing your child in FORCED ADOPTION.
At the point of pick up your child is evaluated as to his or her potential monetary value to the state. The caseworker tells you if just sign the paper, you will receive regular visits with reunification as the goal. Let me assure you that statement is an outright lie. Judges, CASAS and caseworkers take classes and seminars to learn how to better effectively "capture" title IV Funding and monies available thru the federal adoption incentive.
Part of the "training" caseworkers receive are ways of manipulation,isolation, and control very similar to the methods predators use to control their victims.The goal of forced alienation is so the child will comes along in a docile fashion to the "foster home" and attach to the new "foster parents"(quite often the foster parents are actually prospective adoptive parents shopping for their new family).
Removing memories of you starts on day 1. A child asks the caseworker, "where are my parents". That question is met with a shrug of the shoulders and (as in my grandsons case) an "I don't know Jake, she must not care".
Visits will come farther apart. Cancellation's for ridiculous reasons like "I had a death in my family"(so you will feel bad) and " I am so overburdened with my caseload" are common excuses across the country. These excuses are just part of a pre planned and well orchestrated effort to remove you from your child's life as he is prepared for forced adoption.
This gives cps time to shuffle your child thru a series of foster homes, further traumatizing them. Cps then uses the excuse that they are traumatized to medicate them. This makes them pliable to forced adoption. Once medicated cps also files for SSI and drains the Childs social security account.
At about a year out, cps then starts termination proceedings, so that when the 18 month marker hits (the time frame of the federal adoption incentive), cps can terminate your rights, with a corrupt judge's blessing and signature, and your child can go on the adoption block, to be bartered away from biological family. Your child will be paraded across adoption websites, his or her "qualities" will be touted to the bidders. And someone shopping for a child will choose your child, get a check for completing the adoption process, and get fantastic tax credits for years to come. The agency that adopted your child out will also receive more federal adoption incentive monies for adopting your child to strangers, than for adopting your child to biological family such as a grandparent, aunt, or uncle. Federal law demands biological placement be given first priority. This same law pays a higher rate for placement with strangers.
You must fight for every visit. That service plan is a court order. DHS/cps must also comply with the court order. Before you leave the first court appearance make sure you have a written schedule of visitation as part of the service plan. Then if the caseworker does not give you a visit, have your attorney file a contempt motion against the caseworker and the agency.
When you are visiting your child make sure that you are giving the child important clues to his life. Make a game of telling him your first name, a pets name, a favorite relative, toy or church. If your child is adopted to strangers, these small clues may help your child find you someday.
The caseworker will tell you you cannot talk to the child about the case, take photos, or videos.
The caseworker will try to get your legal documents such as the birth certificate, social security card, and medical records. DO NOT TURN THESE DOCUMENTS OVER TO ANYONE, EVER. When you do give up these documents, you are effectively helping cps erase the paper trail of your child.

Searching for your STOLEN Child (Good Info to do)

THE SEARCH FOR YOUR ‪#‎TAKEN‬ CHILD
BY GERI PFEIFFER
Time passes. You fought hard for your child. A corrupt family court process has terminated your rights and you have exhausted every appeal process. You do not know where your child is. He may still be in foster warehousing. He may have been placed in forced adoption. Depending on the age of your child you may have years looming ahead of you until your child ages out of the system, or is old enough to search for you. Now what?
The choices you have will vary depending on the age of your #TAKEN child, but you have not reached the end of the road! This is the point in time where you gather your strength for the wait ahead and prepare for the day your #TAKEN child returns to you and you resume your life together. I will share with you some of the ways biological families have laid the groundwork for the time when your child begins his search for you.
The simplest thing you can do to start this process is start a Facebook page in the child's own name. Fill the page with photos of the child, photos of siblings, stories about the child's life. Be sure and mention key memory joggers like a favorite toy, or a favorite relative. Be sure and leave a good address and or phone number on the page. On the profile photo, choose a photo closest to when the child was #TAKEN. Quite often kids who first get on Facebook, type their own name in the search bar to see if there are any other people with the same name.
Monitor school yearbooks on line. For this you will need a general idea of where the child may be.
Use the internet to google your child's name. You just never know what will pop up.
Register your name with the national Adoption Registry. This is a website with links to every state. Be sure and check in often to read new posts and change your post if necessary (phone number or address change). Become familiar with the site, if your not computer savvy it's tricky to navigate but be persistent. Be very clear with information that you post and fill in every question. A child needs to be 18 in order for you to be able to register on this site so check in your area for other adoption site searches and pages. Be thorough in each detail. Your child finding you could depend on a single detail such as a birthdate, hospital or your maiden name. There are many search sites.
Make sure you avail yourself of every type of social media in your search. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter, are all ways to get your story out there. Facebook has support pages like #TAKEN where you can post photos and messages of your child and get support from other parents who are going through the same thing.
Research laws in your state concerning your #TAKEN child. What are the adoption laws? There is now a bill trying they are trying to get through congress that would make it a federal law that no matter what the circumstances of the adoption, the child will have the legal right to know if he is adopted. The depth and breadth of this bill remains to be seen. A bill going congress can undergo tremendous changes.
You will need to be your own private investigator in your search, so make sure you gather every court document, report, cps paper, address, name of every caseworker, supervisor, CASA, gal, and judge involved in the case. I have documented instances of a parent of a #TAKEN child receiving important information from a caseworker that helped the parent know where the child was located. I cannot stress enough how important EVERY detail of your case is. Get a notebook (even if your case is over) and write down relevant details of your nightmare with child protective services. A year from now you might remember a detail, write it down, and later on it will be the one detail that helps you the most in your search. Writing out your experience will also help you divest yourself of a small portion of the anger you feel. While a parent NEVER heals from the loss of a child to CPS, I must say documenting my experience has helped me.
Monitor adoption sites like adoptok and usadopt, to search for your child. A child may be adopted, found to be not wanted and placed on a "rehoming" list. Monitoring these sites is both painful and stressful. When I search I find myself holding my breath. A friend of mine found her son on an adoption link that I had posted on my page. I was mortified that I may have caused her added pain, only to hear joy in her voice that she knew he was alive and still not adopted. This new friend became my partner in #TAKEN, Tera Coyne Everett, and we decided to make a change for #TAKEN children and their parents, buy starting the #TAKEN page. I have also created the #TAKEN album, we started the FB group #TAKEN and now with the help of Mark Mumma we are developing a website so #TAKEN children and their biological families can find each other.
In my opinion the single most important thing you can do to leave a trail of evidence for your child is DNA testing. Getting a mouth swab and having your DNA signature placed in a data bank, opens endless possibilities for a future match, when your child searches for you. It is a choice that leaves no room for doubt. Be sure and use a REPUTABLE DNA testing facility, and ask about the data bank. How many people are registered in that company's data bank? Is it shared with other DNA data banks? Is there a yearly fee? Make sure and take the time to get answers before money is laid down. You want to make sure you walk away, feeling comfortable with your choices. These are long term decisions and must be considered carefully because not everyone is comfortable with having their DNA stored.
Give your child benefit of the doubt. This is where you step in faith to know the child you raised has enough of you, in him, to search for you. I am seeing more and more children searching for biological family. The numbers will continue to increase as the child protective services search for more job security thru Title IV increases.
Should you become a found parent, make sure you live in the present with your found child. All the people, anger, and pain must be set aside so you and your child can heal. I strongly recommend counseling, jointly and individual, to help you thru these beginning steps. Child protective services can take your child...they cannot destroy the love you have for your #TAKEN child.

The Evaluation NEVER USE THEIR DOCTORS EVER

This is the exact same in PA.  They use 3-4 same doctors that will create a list of mental problems you have and these doctors are millionaires because they cooperate.  Never use their evaluators.  Contact me and I will refer you to honest doctors for a fair evaluation.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
BY GERI PFEIFFER
Almost without exception every service plan given to a parent includes a psyche evaluation. The cost can be from $500.00 to $1,200.00.
Because CPS targets poor families in the forced removal of children, they appear to be helping you out by offering a voucher or cost defrayment if you use the shrink of their choice. In some states (like Oklahoma) CPS will only accept a psyche evaluation from the doctor who has the "state contract".
What cps does not tell you is that doctor does not receive the payment unless there is a diagnosis for services. In other words the shrink HAS to say there is something wrong with you in order to get paid for services. This does two things. Both are an intentional ploy on the part of CPS to further strengthen their grip on your children, further alienate your children from you, and keep you busy trying to get counseling and services for the bogus diagnosis while they steal your children for the forced adoption market.
The psyche evaluation is designed for you to "fail" just as every other step of the service plan is! What can you do about it? Ask the judge if you may get your psyche evaluation from a doctor of your choosing. Yes, you will have to pay for it BUT, do you want your kids back? I took the pshyche evaluation and my diagnosis was narcisstic personality disorder. Since that evaluation, I have had four more done and not one even mentioned that diagnosis. The evaluation given by a doctor of CPS choice is RIGGED! You can also get a second evaluation from another doctor so you can refute the findings of the first(biased) doctor. Call the department of mental health in your area to find income based, reduced cost, or free psych eval.
I encourage you to get counseling from the start of your case, every week. You can also find counsellors thru the department of mental health. Insist that your children receive counseling while in states' custody. Cps/DHS will try to ignore anything that will cost the state money, such as psychiatric care for your traumatized children. Present counseling and other care to the judge via a motion. When the judge rules on a motion ORDERING cps to comply with counseling, they must do it. It's an uphill battle but well worth the fight for the long term well being of your already traumatized ‪#‎TAKEN‬child.
So in summary; while you are taking "their" psych eval and counseling, go get a second opinion or evaluation from your own doctor so you can refute the findings of their biased providers.
Other than keeping you busy with bogus services while they forcefully alienate your children from you, they want that court ordered psyche evaluation because it's a very effective tool that CPS can use against you in many ways. They can insist upon long term psychiatric care for you to stretch out the amount of time you are court involved (remember that their goal is the 18 month termination of your parental rights so they can adopt your child to strangers and get the most Title IV funds available). The psyche evaluation is subject to interpretation and much of the smoke and mirrors diagnosis is actually hogwash. Every parent has some type of diagnosis that requires further services. Everyone!!!.
Again, ask the judge for a doctor of your choice, if he won't agree, get one anyway. That way you can refute the findings of the CPS doctor. The evaluation is just one more tainted tool CPS is going to try to use to permanently remove your children. Period!!! Get it done, just like all the services on the individualized service plan but try to get a second opinion. Don't EVER forget that CPS' primary goal is forced adoption, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU! Approach your interaction with this agency with that in the front of your mind! When you take the psyche evaluation be calm, be reasonably honest, don't overthink your answer, and remember the same question may be asked more than once in order to see if you are being untruthful or trying to be manipulative. Just answer truthfully and get it over with. And above all don't stress out. That's what cps wants you to do.
The evaluation is just one more part of the agency's plan to intimidate you. Just do the darn thing. The reason I recommend counseling from the beginning of your nightmare with cps is two fold: ONE: you need it after experiencing the forced removal of your children. Two: is shows the court your sincere desire to make any necessary changes to bring your children home. It shows the judge your willingness to examine problems and find solutions.
My last suggestion concerning the psyche evaluation is to find out the history of the doctor giving the test. Are they actually qualified? Or is CPS just telling you they are? Don't EVER accept a statement from a caseworker as the gospel in your family court case. The caseworker is a master manipulator and a notorious liar. Remember their paycheck comes when they traffic your child to FORCED adoption!

GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT Never Forget It. CYS Will Create Your Nasty History

GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT
BY GERI PFEIFFER
Because of the way the family court system in America is set up, parents of‪#‎TAKEN‬ children are in a unique position. They are guilty of "crimes" real or imagined that are created by a caseworker, mandated reporter, vindictive relative or other "concerned person". This process lands parents and other biological family far outside the structures of the constitution and bill of rights. In family court there is no due process. You have no rights.
The mistake parents make from the very beginning is they go into this process believing they will experience "justice" and "fairness" under the law. This will not happen in family court. What you need to understand is child protective services and family court is a business and a very large industry. A 12 Billion dollar a year industry. Vital to that industry's continued success is the need for an ever increasing supply of warm bodies of adoptable children.
Not only judges, DAs, attorneys, the CASA and guardian ad litem are making a fortune off your children being in state custody but lawmakers, lobbyists and the related services industries such as counselors, psychologists, drug tests, parenting classes, jails, S employees, etc. are ALL EATING THEIR MEALS OFF THE BODIES OF YOUR CHILDREN.
The federal funding through the Children and Safe Families Act of 1997 signed by Bill Clinton created an endless flood of federal dollars to child protection agencies in the United States. It did not take long for the agency to figure out that they had been handed a blank check, with very little oversight or accountability. Let me put it this way: how many children must be "in states' custody" to pay a caseworker for a year? Benefits, payroll, medical plan, and retirement ALL sit on the bodies of your children. That's why caseworkers fight so fiercely to keep your child in custody. Your child is their pay check. Your child provides that caseworker with a livelihood, a career, a position. Caseworkers can have a degree in anything to become employed by CPS and start making a living and making life decisions for your children.
I can find no rhyme or reason to the family court process. I feel it is the largest Ponzi scheme since the Ponzi scheme was created. Parents pour every asset, effort, and resource into getting their child back, and just like a Ponzi scam or the lottery there are very few winners. The scam allows just enough winners to keep them coming back for more. In this case no one questions the motivations of the court because this is America and surely there is justice in the land of the free and the home of the brave! RIGHT?
Well I, Geri Pfeiffer, a grandmother, from Logan county, OKLAHOMA am here to tell you this: forget everything you ever believed about the justice system in America! The corrupt family court is not part of the justice system. Judges, by their own doing and motives have set the family court process outside the sanctions of constitutional law. Every expert is quick to say, "justice under the law", and unfortunately that is what parents are looking for in family court. Justice and due process have been very carefully crafted OUT of the family court process for one reason: while you are busy looking for justice and due process, the court is getting paid, along with everyone else who has their fingers in the adoption incentive pie, to sell your children to the highly lucrative forced adoption market.
Simply a very complicated family court system is taking children from "unacceptable" families and selling them for federal funding. What can you do about it? What I am finding is there is no sure fire answer to that question. In some courts a few parents have used certain maneuvers to get their children back. This is the exception and not the rule. Know this going in though: you are in a war against a fearsome adversary for your very family, your constitutional rights, and your right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I disagree with the people who say family court is not covered by constitutional law. I feel a biased system has set family court outside constitutional law for its own greedy purposes. We must unify, and make a stand to rectify this gross miscarriage of justice in the family court system.
Because the family court process is a "no win" deal I have arrived at the place of active resistance against the corrupt family court. MAKE YOUR STAND!!! Do not sign ANYTHING. If you agree to services get a backup evaluation, another opinion, a second drug test, or counseling. Don't communicate with the caseworker by any means but text(so you have a record). QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!! And do not be afraid to fire the court appointed attorney(he's not going to do anything but stand there. Silently).
Remember these are your children. Illegally gotten by a corrupt and out of control government agency. WE MUST RESIST!!! Demand answers. Find the next person up the ladder and express your concerns in a clear and loud voice. Judges need to know we are not going to be silent victims anymore!!!
In the eyes of society AND that family court judge you are guilty by virtue of the fact that you have a CPS worker at your door. If your already guilty until you prove yourself innocent....you may as well RESIST!!! The great changes in our society came thru active resistance when our government overstepped their authority. CPS and the corrupt family court are way past that. It is time to bring the executive branch of our government under control and once Again become a "by the people, for the people" republic!
Our time is now. UNITE AND FIGHT

The CASEWORKER (Child Steelers)

THE CASEWORKER
BY GERI PFEIFFER
Who is this person? Is this employee of a state agency that just knocked on your door a civil servant in the traditional sense? Comparable to what? A judge? An attorney? A police officer? A Doctor?
The caseworker at your door, insisting upon seeing your children, without a warrant, is getting ready to make your life a living, breathing hell. For at least the next two years. And at the end of it, there is a 85% chance you will walk away without your children, financially bankrupt, emotionally destroyed, suffering from PTSD and clinical depression, with homicidal tendencies towards that piece of crap caseworker that knocked on your front door, just two years ago. I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I'm going to keep saying it.....THAT CASEWORKER IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!
That person is being paid through your tax dollars to take your child away from you forever. That's right! Your very own government has used the taxes you paid all your life to create and build a fool proof way to confiscate children for forced adoption. All that garbage we were taught about civil rights, democracy, justice in the American court system, and social services being an agency that protects children was designed with careful forethought and planning to turn us into the docile creature that opened the door and let a human trafficker in and basically gave them permission to steal your children.
How did that happen? You were taught to trust those in authority over a very long period of time. It started in kindergarten and culminated in your high school civics classes. So how could that government employee be at your door to harm your family? Because over the last 50 years or so an elite sector of America has decided its a good idea to clean up the welfare roles and eliminate undesirable citizens from the ranks of "acceptable" society! Who are these elite? Why your elected officials of course! It is well past time to do something about the confiscation of America's children.
We must join in active resistance to this tyranny and start dealing with these slime balls who are coming in the front door of our homes, with no warrant in most cases, to steal YOUR children. They are paid out of your tax dollars. In many states they are not even required to have a degree and of the states that do require a degree that degree can be in anything. The caseworker is making life decisions about your family and their degree could be in basket weaving or agriculture.
This person may be an addict, alcoholic or predisposed to certain psychological illnesses. The caseworker may have had interactions with law enforcement, but because of the hiring practices of child protection agencies, that information is never revealed to you.
This person is making decisions about your family based on a pre conceived program of forced removal with the actual goal being adoption to strangers because that's where the money is. You know.... the blank check funding provided to these agencies thru the Adoption And Safe Families Act of 1997(federal adoption incentives) that is their job security and paycheck.
That's why you cannot believe one word that comes out of their mouth, do not believe their stated purpose, KNOW that they are confiscating your children to get a paycheck. period!
The service plan is a distraction to keep you occupied. To keep your attention diverted from the true goal of CPS which is to place your children into forced adoption because YOU have been found unacceptable by your government.
DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING!
When you sign the service plan, you have just handed your children over to the federal government through a state agency. What is happening to the American family that is targeted as unacceptable is exactly comparable to the relocation camps of WW2. You need to fight that caseworker and everything that caseworker is requesting of you like you are fighting a deadly enemy. Because that is exactly what they are. Agents of a social cleansing process put in place with your federal tax dollars to get rid of YOU! Give it some thought and approach this situation like the mortal enemy it is. We must unite in active resistance to an unjust court, backed by an even more unjust legal system, all put in place by the henchmen of out government....yep.....THAT CASEWORKER.

Educate Yourself From The Beginning

THE BEGINNING OF FAMILY COURT HELL
BY GERI PFEIFFER
Caseworkers take your children to shut you up they tell you the plan is reunification at some unspecified point in the future.
1- They give you a hearing date.
2-They tell you to sign the adjudication papers so you can "proceed" with reunification(DON'T DO IT)
3- They give you a service plan that Jesus Christ couldn't complete in the allotted time (AND THEY KNOW IT), if you get close they start the stall tactics so they can tell the judge you have not finished your service plan in a timely manner.
4- They will not take your calls, not tell you that they will only accept evaluations and services from providers they "approve".
5-They begin to lengthen the time between visits, cancel visits, tell your kids it's your fault the visit was cancelled.
6-They start the systematic alienation of your children from their lives as they prepare the children for the forced adoption process.
7- They will say the most untrue, biased, twisted things about you to the judge and he will believe them because they are caseworkers and their 1/2 truths are the law.
8- You will be lied to, mistreated, told you are a terrible parent, manipulated and belittled in preparation for termination of your parental rights.
9-No matter how many services you complete, there is always a new service that takes at least 16 weeks(so you are not done by the next court date)to complete
10-Your parental rights are terminated. Ether outright or in a fiasco of a "jury trial" where the innuendos, 1/2 truths, and outright lies about you are paraded in front of an unsuspecting "jury of your peers", as facts about your child and your life, in such a way that it makes you look like Charles Manson!
11-You never hear from the agency that permanently removed your child again. They got the goods. They have no future need of you. No services are offered to assist you with your PTSD, depression, suicidal and homicidal thoughts. You are expected to resume your life as though you just went for a walk in the park.
All this time you are stumbling along believing that surely there is justice because this is a "court of law" and there is "due process". Then before you know it you are not seeing your kids at all anymore and the "judge" is terminating your rights. WHERE IS THE DUE PROCESS AND JUSTICE?
The family court system is a travesty of justice and there is NO DUE PROCESS, and yet you go along because surely this cannot be happening in the United States of America! Right? Well YOU ARE WRONG! These caseworkers are going to take your children forever if you don't stand and fight! They get paid with your state and federal tax dollars to take your children away! AND WHETHER YOU DO THAT STUPID SERVICE PLAN OR NOT THEY ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO DESTROY YOUR FAMILY FOREVER!
You need to educate yourself to the laws in your state! Do not think that that court appointed or even a private attorney is going to do this job for you. STAND UP And learn the laws, the constitution and most importantly THE BILL OF RIGHTS and get ready for battle! Question EVERYTHING! Refute EVERYTHING. Get second opinions by other doctors. Stop saying you can't afford it and figure out a way! YOU ARE IN A LIFE AND DEATH BATTLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND THOSE BASTARDS ARE IN IT TO TAKE YOUR CHILDREN FOREVER! If you believe anything less than that you are being foolish.
If you are reading this you know one person who is ready for battle. We must unite in common cause to fight for our constitutional right to our home, hearth, and family. Advocates and activists are working very hard to address the issues you are facing. Join with us as we prepare for battle, for our ‪#‎TAKEN‬ children.
There are many ways to actively resist the family court process. The first and most important is to NEVER sign any document. When you sign you are in effect handing your children away. NEVER hand over your legal documents of your child. When you give up the social security card and birth certificate you ARE helping child protective services erase the paper trail of your child. JOIN US, in active resistance to the corrupt family court system. We must UNITE AND FIGHT!!!

The JUDGE

THE JUDGE
BY GERI PFEIFFER
Should a district court judge be the person who decides the fate of a family that is never charged with a crime?
Some advocates believe that the figures may go as high as 85% of parents who have their children ‪#‎TAKEN‬ are NEVER charged with a crime. This is the most important and very first thing that should determine whether your case should even be in front of a district court judge, a juvenile judge or whatever judge cps can rope into hearing your "case". It is my opinion (and many other advocates) that the family court case should not even be in a "court of law" in the first place. How can a judge determine the fitness of a parent based only on the report of a caseworker who may have spent less than an hour with the parents or a CASA who may have at the point of the 1st hearing, not even met the parents, been to the home, or even be professionally qualified to make that determination?
So what it boils down to is this: a person YOU DO NOT KNOW, is going to listen to two more people you do not know and make a life altering decision about the way your life and the life of your children is going to be from now on. On top of that this judge, who is supposed to deal in fact, equality, fairness, and justice.....is going to base his decision solely on hearsay, 1/2 truths, unsubstantiated reports of abuse and outright lies.
Because there is no due process in family courts you are about to lose your children to the unending nightmare of cps supervision. That translates into a life of trauma for your child. A life of foster care, forced medication, forced adoption to strangers and possibly physical, mental, and sexual abuse all perpetrated by the agency assigned with protecting children.
How did it come to this? The child welfare act was designed to take abused children from dangerous situations and "protect" them. In just a few short years a severe shortage of foster care and housing solutions did not fit the growing need. Lawmakers scrambled for a solution to the warehousing of these children. The solution was to financially incentivize adoption of these long term foster children. By giving unlimited funding to CPS and the court system to find permanent homes for these children, lawmakers unknowingly created a whole new industry. By 2003 DHS agencies across the nation had come into the full realization of the funding available to them thru the federal adoption incentive signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1997 and the race was on!
Adopting these children to strangers was given the highest actual priority because that is where the most federal monies are retrieved. Lawmakers are still patting themselves on the back for so neatly disposing of the problem of long term kids in care that nobody wanted and at the same time getting all these "loser" parents off of welfare rolls and off the government dole. Forced adoption seemed to be the perfect answer and to legitimize the entire mess why not put a person of authority and power in charge of it all and call the confiscation of our children....what else? THE FAMILY COURT PROCESS, a process that ignores constitutional law, due process, burden of proof, the right to face your accuser, AND in many states no right to a jury of your peers.
The family court process is the most corrupt event since the Sicilian takeover of New York Burroughs in the 1920's! Every part of the court process is tainted from the court appointed attorney, CASA, GAL, to the biased psyche evaluation that requires a diagnosis for psychiatric services in order for the doctor to receive the fee The entire process is crooked and designed for the parent to fail. Period. But we are supposed to accept it because we were taught to respect authority, justice, the legal process, and above all the honor of a judge. Well that judge has taken seminars, classes, special instruction, AND gets financial incentive for his decisions in the family court process. In fact every single person you encounter in the process from the time your children are #TAKEN to the day they are adopted is receiving a fee or financial award for the permanent removal of your child from your life. And it all starts and ends with that corrupt judge that's sitting there in front of you in that courtroom.
That judge is going to tell you to sign the adjudication papers, complete the service plan, and you will get your kids back. That judge is lying thru his corrupt teeth. Reunification has never been and will never be the true intention of a corrupt family court. Your child is a commodity for funding. Your child is the paycheck for every single person you meet in this nightmare. The judge is the primary decision maker for your life of throughout this entire process.
What can you do? Almost nothing effectively at this point. Advocates across the country are working to change that. As we lobby lawmakers for changes in the family court process and federal laws concerning child welfare funding, you must take the time to educate yourself to your rights and the laws. You can also register to vote, watch the schedule of voting in your county and VOTE! Most district judges are elected and with a minimum amount of effort on the part of the citizenry a judge can be voted out of office, recalled or a petition to remove enacted. Something to think about when thinking about democracy, independence, fairness, and all that garbage about justice!

Corrupt CASA Do Not Trust Them They Are OWNED

THE CASA
BY GERI PFEIFFER
The "volunteer" court appointed advocate. A person brought in by the judge to make an impartial, unbiased determination of what is best for your child.
First let's deal with the "volunteer" aspect of the CASA. In many states (but not all states) the CASA and the guardian ad litem are one and the same person. And while that CASA role may be volunteer, the GAL role is receiving a hefty fee for services.
In my 1st custody case over a grandchild, the GAL fee was $1,200.00 paid for by ME because the other party abandoned the case. In my case for my grandson, Jake, the CASA/GAL issued her first biased report based solely on what an already prejudiced caseworker told her without ever having met me or Jake's parents. In fact her report was word for word identical to the caseworker's.
In following the money and reading CASA's own website I learned that the entire CASA program is funded by social security, title IV, AND FUNDING FROM THE COURTS. All of this money comes from?...you guessed it...your federal tax dollars.
The CASA does not need a degree or special schooling, and after 30 days of "in house" training is set loose in the world at the behest of district court judges to destroy your life with their "impartial" decisions.
WHY? Because the folks at HHS (child welfare division) needed a way to legitimize the ‪#‎TAKEN‬ children for lawmakers. In other words lawmakers and judges needed to sell the confiscation of children to the masses and what better way than to bring in an "expert" to legitimize the entire operation and take the heat off the judges!
Are we really supposed to believe that thousands of "do gooders" out of their deep concern for children step up for no financial gain, no "career", and do all these thousands of hours of writing court reports, hauling kids around, supervising visits, meeting parents, inspecting their homes, "building" relationships with the children, and making life decisions for complete strangers, for not one single penny of compensation? I don't believe that crap for one minute. Neither does anyone else! How pray tell do these CASA folk feed their own children if they do not get paid to "save" those poor abused deprived state care kids?
Well the millions received in federal funding by the CASA association of America answers THAT question for me.
Judges rely too heavily on the "opinion" of this inadequately trained "volunteer". And the only answer as to why that I can come up with is this: Passing the buck helps all involved to legitimize the taking of the children. A judge can feel better about his decision (by the way judges receive training and compensation also) by calling in this bogus "expert". The "expert" backs the caseworker, the judge backs both the caseworker and the CASA, and everyone is happy (paid) EXCEPT the children who are emotionally destroyed, and the parents who NEVER recover from the loss of a living child.
Millions (now billions) change hands in this Ponzi scheme in which the merchandise is ACTUALLY the human flesh of your child, all done with your tax dollars. The CASA's role in the confiscation of your children for title IV funding should now be abundantly clear!

Judges Are Corrupt Educate Yourself and Make Waves Speak OUT

THE CORRUPT FAMILY COURT OF THE HONORABLE________________(PART2)
BY GERI PFEIFFER
The family court process as it exists today is a process that operates outside due process. It appears that all the cards are in the hands of the agency of child protection that took your child. It has taken many years, laws, and rulings for the family court to grow into the child snatching monster it has become and it will take many more years to bring child protective services back under control.
Right off the bat I will say this; as long as adoption is incentivised under the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, the carnage to the American family will continue. Putting a price on a child's warm body for the forced adoption market was the worst idea the Clinton's EVER came up with. The best thing to do about that is find out who the US Congressmen are for your state and contact them regularly about your dissatisfaction with the price on your ‪#‎TAKEN‬ child's head. Tell your congressman you want the incentives halted. That's the only way the incentive will be rescinded, in Washington, by Washington lawmakers. As with all things change only comes by active participation and resistance from citizens.
Another form of resistance I want to encourage is resistance against CPS/DHS tactics. The sooner a parent of a #TAKEN child realizes that child protective services primary interest is federal funding and not the best interest of the child, the better off that parent will be in the course of the case and corrupt family court process.
Remembering a few key points will assist you:
>The corrupt family court judge does not want anything you say to be part of the written record of the court. That paper trail could be used in appeal litigation at a later time.
>The corrupt family court judge will try, very quickly, to appoint counsel to you if you do not have a private attorney, thereby effectively silencing you. Once you have counsel, that person is your mouthpiece, in the courtroom, and is supposed to act in your best interest.
>In corrupt family court cases, the attorney knows the process is corrupt and will stand silently by as your rights, defense, and family are ground into the dirt by caseworkers whose goal is to adopt your child to strangers.
>The corrupt family court operates under "privacy laws" for the minor child. This is an opportunity for judges as well as caseworkers to stretch policy, bend rules, and keep parents in a state of ignorance as to what , if any, rights they have.
>You need to remember that it is up to you and NO OTHER INDIVIDUAL to educate yourself to the laws that apply in your state, policy and courtroom procedure, as well as laws concerning cps in your state.
>relying solely on an attorney(court appointed or otherwise) could help you loose your case.
While there are no guarantees in the corrupt family court process, there are definitive actions you can take to assist yourself:
>Before you open your door from now until you die, you should always ask, "Who is it?". If the answer is child protective services, your next question should be, "Do you have a warrant?" The truth is in most cases they do not, and even if they have a police officer with them, that does not constitute "right to enter". The caseworker must have that warrant "in hand". Now, they will use every tactic available to them to gain entry, and once they are in, they(like the police) will create probable cause. So use that peephole first, and if you don't know the person on the other side-DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!
>If a caseworker has made contact with you and wants you to "just sign for services"-DON'T DO IT. This is another bluff caseworkers use to get a parent roped into services, once you sign, it is the same thing as a contract, and you are legally obligated to comply. What the caseworker also will not tell you is once you sign for services, a now endless list of services will be presented to you and you are obligated to complete them because you signed the first one! They will tell you everything from "if you sign the child will be returned shortly" to "if you don't sign, you will never see your children again".
>Do not believe the lies that come out of a caseworkers mouth, you are obligated to listen to a judge, follow a judges order, and complete the services the judge tells you to.
>Do not "cozy up" to a caseworker. They are trained to use every statement you give them against you.
>Do not use CPS in custody battles, your child could end up with strangers. Permanently.
>Get a notebook, make a timeline of events that have already happened, and document every court date, event, visit, and conversation with the caseworker. Any detail, no matter how small, may be the decider in your case. So take a few minutes a day to jot down your impressions, events, and conversations. These notes will help you tremendously down the road.
>Take regular photo's of your child, make a game of it. Let the child take a photo of you and then take one of the child. You are making a photograph record of the child in foster care.
>communicate with the caseworker via text.
>Do not give the caseworker any "extra" information about your life, your childhood, your spouse, or personal information.
>Do not turn over any documents such as birth certificates, school or medical records, or social security cards. When you give up these documents you are effectively helping the caseworker erase the paper trail of your child.
>Do not sign the "admission of guilt" in parenting class.
> In my opinion CPS can do its dirty work with out your signature on the service plan. Your signature on any document is an admission of guilt to their allegations. Your signature engages TITLE IV funding for the agency and the courts.
>RECORD EVERYTHING! There is a lot of hoopla about recording a person. To that i say this; A security camera is not illegal in any state in this country. if you do not have a security camera, record everything on your phone and then write it down verbatim in your notebook.
>Paper Notes may be used in testimony-cellphones are not.
>Don't think for one second that "if you just talk to the caseworker and explain your side of the story", that the caseworker will just "go away". That's not the goal of cps, nor their standard operating procedure, they are in this to assign services so they can get title IV funding. Period.
>A few minutes before you appear in front of a judge, a caseworker will hand you a copy od a service plan....NEVER sign that paper at the first hearing. They want you to and will try to convince you its the right choice, if that doesn't work the caseworker may put pressure on you or even threaten you. DON'T CAVE! You need time to read the service plan, go over it with your attorney, and weigh the options of EVERY stipulation on the service plan. If you don't, you may end up regretting it for the rest of your life.
>When a judge finally tells you what you are required to do, do that and nothing more. The individualized service plan is a court order, the only person that can change that order is a judge. If cps wants you to complete extra services(and they will), they must present it to the judge, and the judge must approve of the added services.
> Remember you are not the only person who must comply with the judges order, concerning the service plan. The caseworker must comply also. If they do not, make your attorney file a contempt motion against the caseworker, and cps.
>Visits with your child will be the first thing a caseworker tries to not comply on. They will cancel, skip, and move visits. The caseworker is required to give you a written schedule of visitation. Make sure you have that before you leave the courtroom. If you don't get the visit schedule in writing, you will have to wait to the next court appearance(3 months minimum), to address it with the judge.
>You should back yourself up on every court ordered service. For example if a court ordered drug test comes back dirty, immediately get a second one from a different testing facility. If you are required to take a pshyc eval, call the department of mental health and find a free or reduced cost one from a different doctor than the one cps insists on. If you are required to attend counseling, you should consider counseling(at the same time) from a completely different counseling service. Get signatures and receipts of attendance for EVERY class or service you participate in.
>Get paper documentation on everything you do concerning the service plan from now on.
>You will be frustrated, angry, in tears, depressed, and unhappy over the entire course of this process. Do not show any of those emotions to a caseworker or judge. They will use it against you.
>No matter how much the caseworker piles on you, NEVER GIVE UP. Remember you are not alone...reach out.....find a good advocate or friend to talk to. Someone who can help you thru this process, NEVER a caseworker. i assure you that caseworker is not your friend.
>Remember there are no guaranteed methods of getting your child back. Avoid anyone who wants money or tries to intimidate or bully you with a "if you just do it my way" scheme.
>Research, investigate, and READ, READ, READ! Knowledge is power in a corrupt family court.
>Don't be afraid to fire an attorney who does not seem to be working on your behalf.
>Google is a wonderful tool. Pose your inquiry in the form of a question to google. You will be amazed at the information you will get back. Everything from legal documents, to statistics, to procedure are available.
>Remember the district court is not the final word on your case. There is an appeal process for every court. Be timely in your application to appeal. There are deadlines.
>Most importantly:NEVER GIVE UP. If one path does not work, find another! These are your children and you must fight this like a soldier in a war. Never stop fighting and at the end if you are terminated....remember the biological bond transcends time, space, and the family court process. There are tools you can set in place for your child to find you so you can resume your life together!
You will need every tool possible to fight the corrupt family courts of America and the team of child traffickers that work together to permanently remove your child and barter them into forced adoption.
