Cps Contacted a Family Member I Have a Restraining Order Again
This morning I read something that illustrates perfectly why it is dangerous to call CPS. I've tried to tell people this for years, but it is hard to get the word out there to a population of mind-controlled, oh-too-trusting Americans, many of whom are still brainwashed to think that Child Protective Services exists to protect children. Calling CPS can be the worst nightmare you can inflict on parents; it also leads to increased danger and horrible trauma for many, many children.
Let Joe tell us what it is like to seek help from a counselor who called CPS caseworkers, thinking they might be a bunch of benevolent child protecting social workers. Here's Joe's comment.
My child age 7 reported to me that his mother had been kicking him leaving bruises on his legs on the evening of jan 7th. On the morning of Jan 8th I reported it to his school counselor who notified CPS. After being questioned and photographed I was told he would be taken in for questioning and released into my care. The CPS first responder told me he would be released shortly after intake in front of my sister and her kids and then left the group home. When I asked the front counter how much longer she informed me that he was not to be released into my care. He was then placed in the foster care of my sister the next evening and after 1 week in which I moved, filed for divorce, and filed a restraining order against the mother I was given conditional custody in the crisp program. Since then I am required to do county services 4-6hrs a week in order to keep him in my care. I am accused of failing to protect even though I reported the abuse myself. I am being harassed at work by a bitter social worker and accused of all sorts of stuff including being a cigarette smoker. Everything I have said so far has been twisted in reports to make me look like a unfit parent. Me and my child are afraid of these people as they seem to have the power of god. The report says,"I either knew or should have known he was being abused by his mother and therefore I failed to protect him". Can I contest this or am I stuck trying to do all the classes and other stuff without being charged. If I contest it will the social worker get even more angry and make our lives even worse? I have had a very difficult time with all the missed work and my employer is not happy with my recent attendance.
Before I go on, let me say to Joe – you have my sympathy. At this point you have no choice but to fulfill the service plan requirements as stated in your court order. You'll have to walk through hell to get out of the nightmare and protect your child. If you need to talk to experienced people about what's going on in your case, please join the Fight CPS Message Forum.
Now to anyone thinking about calling CPS – PLEASE PEOPLE… put on the brakes. Evaluate the situation. Think about whether the child is actually in any specific danger known to you. Because once you make that call, either you'll have the frustration of being ignored (about 80% of calls do not result in investigations) or… you may find out you don't get the results you expected.
In Joe's case, the counselor expected that Joe's son would remain with him. As it turned out, he was taken out of his custody for a while. Even though he was the thoughtful parent who reported abuse to a counselor, Joe was accused by CPS social workers of "failure to protect" and now has to complete rigid "service plan" requirements that are using up too many hours each week and threatening his ability to keep his job.
People – this is TYPICAL. This is HOW IT NORMALLY WORKS. I've heard from many, many parents who struggled to complete CPS "service plans" only to lose their jobs in the process… and in the wake, they lost their homes, marriages, children . . . everything.
CPS is a FAMILY DESTROYING AGENCY. The people working there may think they are trying to protect children, but given the bad laws and regulations they must abide by, there's no way they can attempt to protect children without destroying lives, families, jobs, homes, self-esteem of the people involved, and everything else that goes with it.
Please do NOT call CPS. That's like calling in the devil. If you're absolutely sure beyond the shadow of any doubt that a child is being severely physically abused, then call the local law enforcement agency – don't bother calling CPS – the officers will do it if that's warranted. Don't ever call CPS for some petty thing. That destroys too many lives and especially traumatizes children, many of whom are injured worse in foster homes than they ever were in their natural family homes.
I like this advice given to a person who considered calling CPS because of a dirty house: CPS and/or Intervention. Need advice.
