These are funny cartoons that include references to actual cases in Riverside County, CA.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Watch this video and understand what is going on in America and Great Britten. This is a long video but full of information on what to do. This is just as relevant in other countries as well as the United States. Lets make this movement so big that the government understands we will defend our children to our death. To leave our child alone. We will not take this any longer.
It is time people stop believing and calling Child Protective Services. It is a fact that children are abused far more often in CPS care. If you call CPS on a family the chance these children will be abused goes up by 80% Watch this video and see where your tax dollars are going.
EVEN THE KIDS KNOW ABOUT CPS
This corruption is not even hidden. If you could do a child a favor and just show this video to parents. EVERYONE MUST KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR
All Parents in the united states better know what to do because this is not only happening to other people. YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT TO DO. The knowledge parents need to know when CPS knocks on your door is far to much to learn in a weekend. I have been deeply embedded in these Juvenile Court Proceedings and Law for almost 6 years now only now do I feel confident enough to hold these people accountable. This is because Juvenile CPS law involves, criminal, custody, constitutional, Juvenile Dependency Statutes,,Adoption Codes of Civil Procedure, ,Welfare & Institutions Code and if this isn’t enough then you have to make the JUDGE actually do his job with Dependency Quick Guide – DOGBOOK because they do not give a shit about your children even is they tell you they do and say what you want to hear, I was there the manipulation of these compulsive liars will make you mental after the case is over for not learning this courts boundaries. Don’t get me wrong you only have to learn the parts that pertain to JV Court or CPS JV dependency court. My family was so deeply violated by this Judge I felt the need to learn as much as I could to gain some kind of understanding why this happened but I learned about the funding and how it gets spent and who gets it.. Only now do I see how inept my lawyer truly was and still is or he just has no morals. Don’t think you can wait all this information is on this site. You better get busy. We did the legwork and we will always be here to continue to help. Ask anything you wish and I promise we will try our best to answer everyone. If you don’t get us by email fast enough call please, don’t feel ashamed, we know how important this is for all parents. Remember we been there. email donnellyjustice101@gmail.com and our phone number 951-305-1552 . I want to keep this number open for those of you who truly need help ASAP. Everyone is welcome to call about your case just remember their is a limited number of volunteers here that understand what is truly going on with these courts so be patient. .
God Bless you and your Family
Bill.
This will stop the judges from volunteering to work for CPS and paid to remove children. Open up the courts to public oversight. This will happen in Riverside county even if these Judges don’t like the pay cut
DEMANDING AN AUDIT OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND COUNTY COUNSEL.
I WILL STOP AT NOTHING UNTIL THESE CRIMINALS ARE IN JAIL LIKE JUDGE MONTEROSSO AND THE COUNTY COUNSEL WHO COLLUDED WITH HIM TO TAKE CHILDREN FROM GOOD PARENTS. THESE PEOPLE DON’T CARE ABOUT CHILDREN.
ANYONE WHO GOES INTO A RIVERSIDE COUNTY COURT HOUSE MUST HAVE A RECORDING DEVICE ON YOU BECAUSE THE TRANSCRIPT WILL BE DOCTORED AS WITH MY CASE BUT I HAVE THE PROOF AND ATTORNEYS WILL NOT TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE CPS WILL TARGET THEIR FAMILY OR THE JUDGE WILL HAVE THE ATTORNEY DISBARRED IF THE ATTORNEY WINS OR DOESN’T FOLLOW THE CORRUPT WAYS OF THE COURT. I HAVE THIS STATEMENT FROM AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS BEEN TOLD THIS VERY THREAT. WITH THAT HELD OVER YOUR HEAD AS AN ATTORNEY WHAT WOULD YOU DO? QUITE OR BE CORRUPT? THIS IS THE KIND OF COURT SYSTEM WE DEAL WITH TODAY. JUDGES WHO HAVE NO FAMILY VALUES AND PUT THEMSELVES OVER TOP OF THE AVERAGE MAN, WHEN THEY ARE LESS OF A MAN FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR A DEFENCELESS FAMILY.
THIS COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE MUST BE INVESTIGATED. THE REPORTING AGENCY CDT IS CORRUPT AS WELL I HAVE HAD CDT GIVE DIFFERENT TEAT RESULTS THAN LAB TEST WITHIN MIN, OF EACH OTHER. ONE I PAID FOR AND THE OTHER CPS PAID FOR. I DID THIS TO EVERY TEST CPS HAD ME TAKE AND THE TEST HAVE SUCH DAMAGING INFORMATION ABOUT CPS AND THE REPORTING AGENCY THEY USE.
WE HAVE SO MUCH EVIDENCE AGAINST CPS STEALING CHILDREN.
PLEASE PLEASE CALL US INTO THIS AUDIT. I WILL SEND MY EVIDENCE. ALSO AUDIT CDT THE TEST COMPANY REPORTING AGENCY.
PLEASE CALL US TO TAKE PART IN THE AUDIT OF CPS WE HAVE COLLECTED EVIDENCE FROM THE DAY OUR CHILD WAS TAKEN BY CPS.
CPS SETS THE POLICIES FOR THE HOSPITALS, AND CPS TELLS THE HOSPITALS NOT TO REPORT FOSTER FAMILY ABUSE SO CPS DOESN’T GET CAUGHT.
Following this article is California Welfare & Institutions Code Section 309 text regarding relative placement.
I saw that the adoption was finalized on November 2, 2012 at the Southwest Justice Center’s Adoption Finalization Day. They have this event every year in November so for all of you whose children are being adopted out of this court, stay informed of the date they have this finalization day that way you can go there and protest, see your child one last time or try to speak to the adoptive parents before they put a restraining order on you.
CALIFORNIA WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE:
309. (a) Upon delivery to the social worker of a child who has been
taken into temporary custody under this article, the social worker
shall immediately investigate the circumstances of the child and the
facts surrounding the child’s being taken into custody and attempt to
maintain the child with the child’s family through the provision of
services. The social worker shall immediately release the child to
the custody of the child’s parent, guardian, or responsible relative
unless one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1) The child has no parent, guardian, or responsible relative; or
the child’s parent, guardian, or responsible relative is not willing
to provide care for the child.
(2) Continued detention of the child is a matter of immediate and
urgent necessity for the protection of the child and there are no
reasonable means by which the child can be protected in his or her
home or the home of a responsible relative.
(3) There is substantial evidence that a parent, guardian, or
custodian of the child is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the
court.
(4) The child has left a placement in which he or she was placed
by the juvenile court.
(5) The parent or other person having lawful custody of the child
voluntarily surrendered physical custody of the child pursuant to
Section 1255.7 of the Health and Safety Code and did not reclaim the
child within the 14-day period specified in subdivision (e) of that
section.
(b) In any case in which there is reasonable cause for believing
that a child who is under the care of a physician and surgeon or a
hospital, clinic, or other medical facility and cannot be immediately
moved and is a person described in Section 300, the child shall be
deemed to have been taken into temporary custody and delivered to the
social worker for the purposes of this chapter while the child is at
the office of the physician and surgeon or the medical facility.
(c) If the child is not released to his or her parent or guardian,
the child shall be deemed detained for purposes of this chapter.
(d) (1) If an able and willing relative, as defined in Section
319, or an able and willing nonrelative extended family member, as
defined in Section 362.7, is available and requests temporary
placement of the child pending the detention hearing, the county
welfare department shall initiate an assessment of the relative’s or
nonrelative extended family member’s suitability, which shall include
an in-home inspection to assess the safety of the home and the
ability of the relative or nonrelative extended family member to care
for the child’s needs, and a consideration of the results of a
criminal records check conducted pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 16504.5 and a check of allegations of prior child abuse or
neglect concerning the relative or nonrelative extended family member
and other adults in the home. Upon completion of this assessment,
the child may be placed in the assessed home. For purposes of this
paragraph, and except for the criminal records check conducted
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 16504.5, the standards used to
determine suitability shall be the same standards set forth in the
regulations for the licensing of foster family homes.
(2) Immediately following the placement of a child in the home of
a relative or a nonrelative extended family member, the county
welfare department shall evaluate and approve or deny the home for
purposes of AFDC-FC eligibility pursuant to Section 11402. The
standards used to evaluate and grant or deny approval of the home of
the relative and of the home of a nonrelative extended family member,
as described in Section 362.7, shall be the same standards set forth
in regulations for the licensing of foster family homes which
prescribe standards of safety and sanitation for the physical plant
and standards for basic personal care, supervision, and services
provided by the caregiver.
(3) To the extent allowed by federal law, as a condition of
receiving funding under Title IV-E of the federal Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. Sec. 670 et seq.), if a relative or nonrelative extended
family member meets all other conditions for approval, except for the
receipt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s criminal history
information for the relative or nonrelative extended family member,
and other adults in the home, as indicated, the county welfare
department may approve the home and document that approval, if the
relative or nonrelative extended family member, and each adult in the
home, has signed and submitted a statement that he or she has never
been convicted of a crime in the United States, other than a traffic
infraction as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section
42001 of the Vehicle Code. If, after the approval has been granted,
the department determines that the relative or nonrelative extended
family member or other adult in the home has a criminal record, the
approval may be terminated.
(4) If the criminal records check indicates that the person has
been convicted of a crime for which the Director of Social Services
cannot grant an exemption under Section 1522 of the Health and Safety
Code, the child shall not be placed in the home. If the criminal
records check indicates that the person has been convicted of a crime
for which the Director of Social Services may grant an exemption
under Section 1522 of the Health and Safety Code, the child shall not
be placed in the home unless a criminal records exemption has been
granted by the county based on substantial and convincing evidence to
support a reasonable belief that the person with the criminal
conviction is of such good character as to justify the placement and
not present a risk of harm to the child.
(e) (1) If the child is removed, the social worker shall conduct,
within 30 days, an investigation in order to identify and locate all
grandparents, adult siblings, and other adult relatives of the child,
as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section 319,
including any other adult relatives suggested by the parents. The
social worker shall provide to all adult relatives who are located,
except when that relative’s history of family or domestic violence
makes notification inappropriate, within 30 days of removal of the
child, written notification and shall also, whenever appropriate,
provide oral notification, in person or by telephone, of all the
following information:
(A) The child has been removed from the custody of his or her
parent or parents, or his or her guardians.
(B) An explanation of the various options to participate in the
care and placement of the child and support for the child’s family,
including any options that may be lost by failing to respond. The
notice shall provide information about providing care for the child
while the family receives reunification services with the goal of
returning the child to the parent or guardian, how to become a foster
family home or approved relative or nonrelative extended family
member as defined in Section 362.7, and additional services and
support that are available in out-of-home placements. The notice
shall also include information regarding the Kin-GAP Program (Article
4.5 (commencing with Section 11360) of Chapter 2 of Part 3 of
Division 9), the CalWORKs program for approved relative caregivers
(Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200) of Part 3 of Division 9),
adoption, and adoption assistance (Chapter 2.1 (commencing with
Section 16115) of Part 4 of Division 9), as well as other options for
contact with the child, including, but not limited to, visitation.
The State Department of Social Services, in consultation with the
County Welfare Directors Association and other interested
stakeholders, shall develop the written notice.
(2) On and after January 1, 2011, the social worker shall also
provide the adult relatives notified pursuant to paragraph (1) with a
relative information form to provide information to the social
worker and the court regarding the needs of the child. The form shall
include a provision whereby the relative may request the permission
of the court to address the court, if the relative so chooses. The
Judicial Council, in consultation with the State Department of Social
Services and the County Welfare Directors Association, shall develop
the form.
(3) The social worker shall use due diligence in investigating the
names and locations of the relatives pursuant to paragraph (1),
including, but not limited to, asking the child in an age-appropriate
manner about relatives important to the child, consistent with the
child’s best interest, and obtaining information regarding the
location of the child’s adult relatives. Each county welfare
department shall create and make public a procedure by which
relatives of a child who has been removed from his or her parents or
guardians may identify themselves to the county welfare department
and be provided with the notices required by paragraphs (1) and (2).

I truly wish Riverside County would get a judge of moral fiber with family values, if this doesn’t happen soon than any parent who goes before a CPS is getting a sentence far worse than death. I have such a hard time believing the world is this evil. Separating family is such a cruel thing to do that I can not follow any decision by these corrupt unmoral criminals who would sell another persons children. This punishment no person deserves and I will do what ever the lord has planed for me. Bless these people for they know not what they do. We love you Donnelly.
Donnelly is our baby boy and any parent who feels the way we do about our children is a wonderful parent. No judge could ever take that from us. We are gentle, loving parents and we will face the terrorism of Child Protective Services to our deaths. There is no reason on Gods green earth why we can not see our son. The lies of these social workers who have stolen our child will come out. Any person who does the things that have been done to us to steal our child is not a person of decency or moral fiber and should be in prison. I have no reason to hide my head in shame because I know who I am, and I wouldn’t want to be anyone else. I like who I am, I know CPS social worker Antione Coley doesn’t like who he is, this man has lied to everyone to take my son.
My children are my life and no man shall take that away, God bless the parents who keep on going even after CPS has stolen their child.. We will see you again Donnelly love Dad.

So many people have the same response, “Nooo, they wouldn’t do THAT, in today’s day and age people just don’t do that!” Yet, these same people believe that there are 250,000 children being “abused and neglected” each year just in California. That’s 25 Million per decade. “Abused” children tend to abuse their children when they become adults, according to the child welfare industry, so the likelyhood that it would become a cycle is at least 75%. Now if one was easily convinced that this was fact, that ALL OF THESE CHILDREN WERE TRULY ABUSED BY THEIR PARENTS IN THEIR OWN HOME, what in the world prohibits their ability to believe that THE GOVERNMENT IS ABUSING CHILDREN AND DESTROYING FAMILIES FOR FEDERAL FUNDING??? The government is run by PEOPLE. People just like the parents they are taking children from. DO THESE PEOPLE believe that the PEOPLE in government do things RIGHT and can do a better job raising children than the parents? Pretty soon no one is going to be raised by their biological parents, children are just shuffled around into homes that could be far more dangerous than the one they were taken out of. Everyone who has anything to do with it from case workers to psychiatrists and drug counselors to court personnel, these “stakeholders” rely on the removal of children for their paycheck.These people don’t realize how much money is involved here. California alone got 25 BILLION last year. 25 BILLION DOLLARS TO REMOVE CHILDREN, PUT THEM IN FOSTER CARE FOR 12-18 MONTHS WHILE THEY PAID FOR “PROGRAMS AND SERVICES” (HOOPS THE PARENTS HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH). So, DPSS receives and they give out to all of those stakeholders and when they quickly terminate parental rights and push through an illegal adoption they get “incentives” which are bonuses. A portion of that bonus goes directly to the social worker and their supervisor in the form of a “Christmas Bonus” if their points are not taken away by the end of the year. Yes, they work on gold stars and points.That is why Antoine Coley and Amanda Spratley JUMPED UP FOR JOY, HUGGING AND CONGRATULATING EACH OTHER, SMILING AND DOING A HAPPY DANCE WHEN OUR RIGHTS WERE TERMINATED, WHILE THE REST OF US CRIED AND ANOTHER PERSON TRIED NOT TO SMILE BUT DID A HAPPY DANCE LATER ON. So, these people who supposedly ‘CARE’ so much about children had absolutely no feelings of sadness for the parents and siblings who lost their little boy. Heartless. And these are the people who are believed? Really?
“OH MY GOD!!! WHAT IS GOING ON???? WHY DIDN’T I SEE THIS BEFORE?”
From the time my husband and I wake up to the time we go to bed, we are constantly thinking of ways to explain, prove, and deliver this message. There have even been times when we are lying in bed, lights out, and we will start talking about it and come up with an idea that just can’t wait so we sit up, grab our laptops and start typing! We are dedicated to this fight, what else can we do? Without our son we feel so empty, my pregnancy and childbirth all for nothing, or for OTHER PEOPLE TO SELFISHLY ENJOY. Yes, I said selfish because not letting him see us is exactly that and I can’t wait to tell him how he was not allowed to see his Mommy and Daddy because of a pointless restraining order. Yes, I said pointless because a piece of paper is not what is stopping us from knocking on the door. It is decency and respect and not wanting to upset anyone.
A woman I know with a current open CPS case recently sent a complaint letter to her social worker’s supervisor. She also sent copies to: the Director of DPSS, Deputy Director, her attorney, the state DPSS, the FFA, her child’s counselor, the Attorney General and the FBI. She didn’t send one to the worker. The first call she got was from the Deputy Director. The second was from the worker who left a voicemail TELLING HER THAT SHE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO SEE ______ (A DOCTOR) AND GET ON MEDICATION AS IT WAS REQUIRED! My friend has had two psychological evaluations and has been seeing two separate counselors for many months now. None of these professionals feel my friend has any mental illness or condition let alone need medication. The social worker who told my friend that she “had no choice” to go get on medication is Sonia Correa. I put her name out there because she is absolutely wretched! Not just due to this incident but because she is a sociopath liar and perpetrating malicious and intentional emotional distress upon my friend and her daughter. Maybe Sonia Correa is not even human, she speaks in monotone and forgets how to use a telephone for months on end.
This prompted me to look into the possibility that there are mentally hazardous conditions in the field of social work that turns people’s brains into a psychosis-malfunctioning blob. I found some socializing sites that all parents with CPS cases should check out, just to know how these people think and get some insight into why social workers are such jerks and act like they hate you. I am not saying that we should sympathize with these people or have any respect for the ones that are sociopaths. Just remember, my strategy is that being able to think “like” the enemy will eventually beat your enemy. Please feel free to comment on our site rather than the social worker’s site if you have any anti-social worker comments. If you have any suggestions or know of other sites that give insight to the mind of a social worker, please email me at: cpshatersclub@gmail.com.

Feature Story for DonnellyJustice.me
BABY TRAFFICKING False Allegations of drug abuse have been logged against mothers and their newborn infants as a means to place these infants into protective custody. The hospital staff has allowed C.P.S to remove infants (a hospital violation) prior to verification of blood and urine drug screen tests. C.P.S is mandated to secure verification of drug allegations via blood and urine results, prior to removing the newborn infant from the hospital. All cases known to us resulted negative for the mother and the newborn, but these infants were never returned, and were adopted outside of kinship. In the past year, the FBI has arrested and imprisoned C.P.S workers who were actively involved in baby trafficking for profit. These C.P.S workers knowingly abducted infants from the hospital where they in turn networked them into legal adoption agencies.
Augustus Fennerty, FBI director for Crimes against Children (Washington D.C) can verify this information. (202) 324-3000 CHILD SEX TRADE INDUSTRY Southern California FBI District has videotape recorded CPS workers placing foster care children onto planes via LAX, destination Europe for child sex trade industry. This can be verified through Ted Gunderson, (retired) FBI Director Southern California (310) 477-6565. SEXUAL VICTIMIZATION IN FOSTER CARE For the families in relation to our group in San BernardinoCounty, it has come to our attention while comparing similarities, that approximately half the children in foster care have been molested. These children were not sexually abused by their parents, but by the foster fathers or others in the foster home. It was also noted that these foster homes are still operating in the same capacity prior to complaints, without any investigation into these allegations. C.P.S officials were made aware of these accusations by the children, but failed to follow through with a criminal investigation. In conclusion, Child Protective Service is nothing more than an “oasis’’ for child molesters, to make a profit, while at the same time committing a crime, only to be protected by a malignant system that delivers a never ending supply of victims .
SYSTEMATIC FRAUDULENT MANEUVERS UTILIZED TO ENHANCE C.P.S BUDGET C.P.S manufactures multiple nonexistent /fictitious abuse case scenarios to offset true statistical abuse case information. C.P.S concurrently processes these children from foster care to adoption, in order to obtain perverse monetary incentives in the form of bonuses. C.P.S provides a market to neighboring agencies and the courts ( commissioners, psychologists, monitors, court mandated behavioral class instructors, court appointed legal counsel), in order for them to financially benefit from the foster care/adoption system. C.P.S victimizes innocent impoverished families, draws them into a corrupt system to utilize their children as pawns for commerce.
MALICIOUS OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES C.P.S is utilized by family court officials, as an adverse tool to extricate children from one parent to the other, with reference to “parent alienation syndromeâ€. Where, in truth, caseworkers are never allowed to testify in family court under the cloak of C.P.S authority, due to possible misuse or conflict of interest related to the right to privacy laws. C.P.S utilizes coercive measures to persuade parents to submit to statements of prior alleged abuse, when these actions were nonexistent. In other words, forcing desperate parents to “plea bargain†to a C.P.S fabricated crime, for the return of their children from foster care. C.P.S fabricates portions of investigations, where such duties have never been physically performed, to purposely mislead or direct a case. C.P.S knowingly abandons children into foster care, conscious of the fact that some foster care parents and or individuals in the home physically and sexually abuse the children in their protective custody. C.P.S intentionally fails to prosecute parents accused of child abuse, since in the majority of cases, no initial crime has been committed. C.P.S represents themselves in positive personas, by omitting, altering, and falsifying documents, so as to mislead the public and or government of their true actions as listed above. Thereby publicly grandstanding, displaying an inaccurate social martyrdom for the well being of children. C.P.S ignores crimes committed in foster care, such as the atrocious acts of unexplained deaths. C.P.S fails to question these individuals for their abusive conduct, whereby, if itwere not a foster care parent, these individuals would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
SHOULD CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE BE RESTRUCTURED? The police should determine if a child has a true need for protection from his parents, since child abuse is a criminal offence. Thus, C.P.S should be incorporated with Crimes against Children Units that are currently located within police, sheriffs and FBI agencies. The merging of the two would reduce the amount of false allegations reported, since complaints made to a police unit is a criminal offence. Also, the police have the training and resources needed to conduct a thorough investigation. This allows them to determine that if a crime has been committed that warrants the need for foster care. A parent/guardian under the suspicion of the crime “Child Abuse†would meet the criteria for removal. This would activate the foster care system. Only then would the foster care system be utilized as a response to a possible or suspected crime. Thus in turn, this would eliminate the unnecessary utilization of the foster care system that has been grossly misused in the past. Unwarranted victimization of children and their families would be greatly reduced and soaring costs would be contained. This would minimize the number of future cases that fall through the cracks and get lost in the system.
WHAT ROLE SHOULD THE SOCIAL WORKERS PLAY IN THE NEW CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE? All caseworkers must have a bachelor’s degree in social work from an accredited college. All states must create bachelor level licensing for social workers. All workers must have a current license to work within any state or county in the United States with reciprocity. All social workers must have a preceptor for at least three months prior to individual casework. WHO SHOULD BE A MEMBER OF THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE TEAM WITHIN THE CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN UNITS? Other members from various agencies should be inclusive to this unit, since they bring their specific expertise to complete a proper investigation. It is our opinion that the following individuals who should comprise this team are as stated: Registered Nurse, School Principal, Detective, and Social Worker.
SHOULD AN OUTSIDE AGENCY SYSTEMATICALLY REVIEW THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE TEAM’S PERFORMANCE? All agencies must have an outside quality control board that monitors case investigations on a random basis and when requested by the public. This Board must include members similar to the Child Protective Service team, with the addition of an individual from the public. No member may be employed more than three years, to maintain the integrity of the boards’ unbiased decisions. SHOULD WE MAINTAIN A CHILD ABUSE INDEX LIST? The child abuse index list shall be maintained only when an individual has been prosecuted and convicted by a court of law for a crime against a child. Today’s said list shall be destroyed, so as to prevent harm to those currently listed who have been accused of a crime against a child, but that have never been prosecuted or convicted. And, children should never be placed on any list that would categorize them in an adverse manner, such as this. SHOULD THERE BE NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATED TO FOSTER CARE? There should be a limited number of children allowed to be placed in any single home under foster care, including adoption. No single family shall be allowed to adopt or provide foster care to more than two children at any time. The only exception shall be when siblings number more than two and are placed in the same single dwelling. This will eliminate the financial incentive for monetary gain related to housing foster children and adoptions.
——————————————————————————– Redlands, California 92373 Yucaipa, California 92399 July 12, 2004 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515-0542 To our Honorable U.S. House of Representatives, It is unfortunate that Child Protective Service officials have mislead the government into believing, that increased funding is necessary to solve the multitude of problems that encompass C.P.S. This agency is utilizing the funding issue as the scapegoat for their problems, when in actuality the workers themselves, the lack of their personal accountability, are the source of the problem. Further funding will not solve C.P.S’S current crisis, only the restructuring of this agency will provide a solution. Sincerely, Cynthia Huckelberry Sushanna Khamis
There are State run agencies who are supposed to be protecting abused children in dangerous situations. Each State has many different titles for them. All of them are main stapled as CPS (HHS) Health and Human Services (Department of Child Protective Services) While there is an important need to find abused children and to protect them, the current system is only finding a small percentage of those truly abused children.
The rest of their statistics that guarantee a high departmental income are from families who never abused their children. Where they get this income and the sources of information will be posted after the next paragraph. I am not calling for an abolishment of CPS. What I am calling for is an overhaul and restructure to bring them in line with lawful investigation practices, to maintain Constitutional Rights and proper training for Agents who never had children, and psychological evaluations to find and replace the Agents who were themselves abused as Children and see abuse in every home regardless of the situation. This is not, I repeat, not a rare occurrence.
I will supply statistics to support this and how this has escalated. I will also supply the sources. Departmental income has become more important to CPS and their offices than actually finding abused children and protecting them. Each and every time they remove a child from the home, they get paid from the Federal Government. Of course they lie and say they are not,.Here they are:
1. Public Law 93-247 known as the Mondale Act of 1974. 2. Public Law 96-272 known as the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 3. Social Security Title IV-E funds. The ASFA- Public Law 105-89 known as American Safe Families Act of 1997 is one of the most horrific laws on the books today. While it sounds nice in the title, when you get through the legal jargon, what this means is so wrong.
If you ever had a child removed from your house by CPS, even UNFOUNDED and you are innocent, they will take that child in minutes after the child is born! Babies are highly adoptable and the Federal Government pays out $6,000 to the CPS office who conducts the legal kidnapping and gets them adopted quickly without regards to the biological Mother and her family. Since she was investigated once, they do this in the “best interests of the child” as she is a “potential” abuser. The largest targeted types of families are folks with low incomes, children on SSI and are minorities. If you even have one of those three issues, you are a target for CPS to illegally investigate you.
While these things are a surefire magnet, they have been known to do illegal investigations against families if they were reported falsely with malicious intent. Example is an ex-wife wants to get even with her ex-husband and his new family; she could report them and put them through Hell. Why are the reasons CPS Agents actually find so little true abuse? 1. Agents who never had children and don’t understand that a few toys in the corner of the room is not a hazardous mess. 2. Agents are not trained in real evidence recognition. In fact, no Agent in CPS has any training in evidence, the Constitution or criminal justice.
They are given anywhere from 3 to 6 months of training, being taught that it is ok to break into a Home without probable cause or exigent circumstances. 3. Agents are trained to use subjective speculation and not objective factual reporting. 4. The Agents do not get psychological evaluations. A number of Agents who were abused as a child themselves see abuse in every home they go into, even if it’s not there. 5. Most States do not require Agents to have a degree in Social Sciences. Any degree will do, doesn’t even have to be related to the field. 6. The Agency has no checks and balances. A field Agent can lie to a judge or police officer with absolutely no proof and have it entered as factual evidence in a court of law! 7. Agents are trained to believe they are immune from the authority of
the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment. They violate this in every investigation done nationwide. Petition: Here are the statistics and sources to support these facts: Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the United States. These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington. CPS- Physical Abuse (160) Sexual Abuse (112) Neglect (410) Medical Neglect (14) Fatalities (6.4) Parents- Physical Abuse (59) Sexual Abuse (13) Neglect (241) Medical Neglect (12) Fatalities (1.5) As you can see, children are abused far more in care than at home.
The calculated average is for every 1 abused children removed from an abusive home, there are 17 children removed from loving non-offending homes nationwide. Constitutional Violations and Court Rulings that CPS Ignores to this very day! 1. It’s unconstitutional for CPS to conduct an investigation and interview a child on private property without exigent circumstances or probable cause. – Doe et al, v. Heck et al (No. 01-3648, 2003 US App. Lexis 7144) 2. All CPS workers in the United States are subject to the 4th and 14th Amendment – Walsh v. Erie County Dept. of Job and Family Services, 3:01-cv-7588 3. Police officers and social workers are not immune for coercing or forcing entry into a person’s home without a search warrant. Calibrate v. Floyd (9th Cir. 1999) 4.
The mere possibility of danger does not constitute an emergency or exigent circumstance that would justify a forced warrant less entry and a warrant less seizure of a child. Hurlman v. Rice (2nd Cir. 1991) 5. Police officer and social worker may not conduct a warrant less search or seizure in a suspected child abuse case absent exigent circumstances. Defendants must have reason to believe that life or limb is in immediate jeopardy and that the intrusion is reasonable necessary to alleviate the threat. Searches and seizures in investigation of a child neglect or child abuse case at a home are governed by the same principles as other searches and seizures at a home. Good v. Dauphin County Social Services (3rd Cir. 1989) 6. The Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures extends beyond criminal investigations and includes conduct by social workers in the context of a child neglect/abuse investigation. Lenz
v. Winburn (11th Cir. 1995) 7. Making false statements made to obtain a warrant, when the false statements were necessary to the finding of probable cause on which the warrant was based, violates the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. Aponte Matos v. Toledo Davilla (1st Cir. 1998) What can be done to change this for a better, healthier Child Protection System? I. Child Abuse is a Crime, not a touchy freely civil complaint and should be investigated as a crime. II. Have the abuse allegations investigated by a Detective or Police Officer, who are trained for this as a career, whereas CPS workers are not. All investigations are joint ones with said Officers of the Law and with warrants properly issues under probable cause. III. Re-train Agents to respect and obey the laws of the Constitution of the United States
. If a family is guilty of abuse, a legal investigation will find it. IV. Repeal the Mondale Act, Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act, Title IV-E rewards to CPS from Social Security and the American Safe Families Act. Remember, they are not what the title sounds like and has been the root core of many loving homes losing their children to a system that will abuse them. V. Make CPS legally investigates those who sign up to be foster parents.
They do not do this today, and many foster parents who want the money for fostering them are actually child abusers who never get caught! VI. All interviews to be audio and video recorded just like it happens with the police! VII. Hold CPS Agents and foster parents and the records keeper responsible for every child who vanishes or dies in their care for their location. VIII. Also investigate the person or persons reporting the abuse, and if done maliciously with intent to disrupt a family, prosecute the reporter to the fullest extent of the Law regarding making false claims to Government Agencies to affect an unnecessary and costly investigation. IX. Abuse is a Crime, guarantee the accused retain their right to face their accusers in a court of law. As the system currently is, this is not done. X.
The Children are to be tracked on a weekly basis, so no more children vanish in the system. XI. If a disabled, mentally retarded or sick Child is put into Foster Care, the Child’s current Physician will need to provide a copy of the diagnosis and treatment, and medications, if any, will be provided as prescribed by the Physician. All appointments must be kept while in Foster Care. Any violations without a very good reason will result in the Foster Parents
losing their certification for Foster Care. XII. If a Foster Child dies while in Foster Care, there will be an Investigation by the FBI and all parties responsible for the Death of a Child will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. XIII. There will be a National Database where all known abusers are recorded and can be accessed by Law Enforcement. Everyone who is found not guilty won’t have their Convictions and Abuse Reports listed. It will be illegal to keep records of any sort on innocent individuals or families. If they are convicted in a court of law by a jury of their peers, then the report of abuse they are guilty of will be the only report listed.
Currently, none of this is done, and innocent families who are not guilty of anything are losing their Children based on the word of others where there is no burden of proof for Prosecution, for the sake of getting Federal Funds for tens of thousands of dollars. The few truly abused children are ending up in a system where they are worse off than where they came from, even to the extent of being killed. Also, the innocent children who are never abused are also killed.
These people amaze me by their confidence in nothing, they have no positive data to back anything they do. They come into your home because someone called the hot line to cause you pain and suffering like an ex-wife who lost in divorce court and doesn’t want the children to love you over her.
The attorney’s are so completely incompetent, do not object to anything, and only want to push you and your kids through the system even if it ruins the entire family as long as they get paid. My attorney guided me through the entire process and now that it is over I have found out all the things he did to make sure I lost. This Attorney Daniel Vinson knew very clearly that I was not guilty and let so many things be presented as evidence even while I was sitting there and stated I do not have a drug history, why are they saying I do. I never had any charges or drug convictions in the past and he did not object to anything but passive willingness to let go of my parental rights. Only a CPS case from my ex wife after she was on antidepressants. I have done the research and have over 1800 pages of evidence from this court that I will get into court. I have written many reports of the amount of evidence we have and it is just a matter of time. If it isn’t me it will be someone else this information has been given to .
County counsel Mrs Jamiilla Purnell brought up information she had absolutely no knowledge of and stated theory as if it were fact. If anyone in this court room were ever in a real court of law they would be completely run out of the court room until they learned of to conduct themselves like a professional. CPS and county counsel submitted a criminal record that was not mini and it belonged to a man 10 years older than me. I told my lawyer many times that I had no drug history and he continued to sit on this information and it was a major factor in my railroading by the South West JV Civil courtroom system and is well known for over 20 years that nothing in this court is for the child’s best interest.
They are the only ones in this system that believe CPS has anyone convinced they do care and it is only a matter of time now until this court and the money taken by CPS courts and then placed into an account that any state agency can take funds from as needed and this is all documented in the 2011 grand jury investigation.
It is truly amazing that these attorney’s will cover up any way for you to win against CPS to the point of destroying any respect the client could possibly have for their ability to defend you properly. These people are sociopaths who care about nothing.,
The three most common ways of stopping a parents visit to take control of a child welfare. Tell the parent the child doesn’t want to see you.
Make false accusation of crimes committed by the parent and say you will be convicted to scare them into signing the case plan. Answer tell them to bring it on because you know you are not guilty. Believe me the criminal courts are 1000% more fare than the CPS court. CPS courts are unconstitutional and private. Even if you submit proof of your innocents it will not make it on the record. Remember this always when you talk to anyone in these courts. CPS has been caught repeatedly selling children to child trafficking and anyone who challenges me on this better have their facts in order because I have FBI reports, Grand Jury Reports that have been done over and over again and CPS fails to follow any recommendations.
Any Parent should know when CPS cuts off your parental contact with your child, this is against the law and you should always take steps to counter this asap do not let this go. CPS is trying to break the parental bond because you and your child have a close relationship.and CPS finds this to be their biggest enemy to people ever trusting them, I got news for CPS people will never trust CPS. You have to actually care about kids.first. I found information in a report for the continuity of US Government and this report actually suggested having community centers to raise the child. What these reports don’t ever mention is that children are so much better raised by the bond of a mother who cares endlessly for their child, and the community center is just a paid babysitter and everyone knows how that always works out.. Maybe if you doubt any of this is because it sounds crazy and it is but that doesn’t say that it isn’t true.
The US Government is promoting child abuse by paying for it. Regardless of criticism for ourselves. Tell everyone about THE RUTHLESS OUT OF CONTROL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES and how they are trying to cover up all the damage they do under the guise of permanency for children. When there are numerous case studies that show children are always far better prepared for life when they are raised with there families. Children raised by foster care and children adopted out have a 76 percent higher average to end up prison, jail, and use drugs over children raised by their own family.
CPS adds to the abuse by covering up the kidnapping stating it’s in child’s best interest or siding with caution by placing children in foster homes over the child’s family the child could suffer possible abuse if left at home even when there has been no abuse found. There is little doubt every Social Worker and Judge (usually commissioner) with CPS knows within the first couple of weeks in social service work, that this job is only for the federal money to continue and by ignoring what is really happening they can deal with this much responsibility or irresponsibility and refuse to face how many children and families are suffering because their actions and them personally, in fact studies show many case workers and judges end up abusing their own families (by testimony of their children) do to a moral struggle, no oversight accountability and high personal guilt this job plays in their own lives and this all leads to a deep poor self image, and in many cases leads to a mental breakdown and poor work environment for all new employees.
CPS has tried to counter this by using reward ceremonies and bonus incentives this has been found to cause deeper guilt and stronger, deniability feeling less valuable than other employees doing the same job. These factors have the highest turn over rate for employment and many city’s can’t keep a licensed social workers on staff and are using the license of a Social Worker in another location or calling them family therapist as an intern excepting all the responsibility, the question of a licensed social worker still comes to question and makes the cover up even wider spread. I called the Riverside office and asked who the licensed social worker is and if that person could call me back and still have not had that call. I personally have watched this abuse and have had CPS take my child with no evidence only a phone call that was to intended cause harm by my ex wife . I have been a father for 28 years and never has a child been abused in my home but CPS said my son was removed because I wasn’t cooperative and could possibly pose a future risk if they left my child home OMG. I HAVE ONE SENTENCE FOR THIS JUDGE ( IT IS OUTRAGEOUS HOW LITTLE CARE YOU HAVE FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WITH YOUR POSITION FAMILIES ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO SAVE THEIR CHILDREN AND THAT YOU WOULD EXCEPT MONEY OVER THE NEEDS OF CHILD AND HAVE SOLD OUT YOUR BENCH SEAT TO CPS AND FOR THE FEDERAL FUNDING FRAUD TO CONTINUE. I do not have this moral dilemma in my life, I know where moral compass aims and money doesn’t guide it. Children if my own or anyone else s will always have priority over any thing else in my world even at the cost of prison or my life..
Please share this story and information. The more people who know about this illegal kidnapping ring the less power they will have and could make all the difference in the world to all our American families.
People please pay attention to my words and read them very clearly, it is with the utmost respect for children and to end this abuse of our children and the never ending pain for parents. If people only had the information provided in the Dependency policies and procedures, (Dependency Quick Guide, A Dogbook for Attorneys Representing Children and Parents) published by the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts these kidnappings would not be happening.
In closing. What does this tell you? This is intentional.
What is the reason? Money funding from CAPTA and Title IV-E of the social security act, and Youakim funding.
Far more money and incentives is given for out of home placement placing the child up for adoption then to try to help the family.
Please tell everyone you know to read this. Do not just let anymore children be taken from loving homes. Even if you don’t think this will happen to you.
No one will help you after your child gets taken accept knowledge.
My motives, I want to finish raising my beautiful baby boy who I love absolutely and completely so very much.
A
nd to stop this from happening to any other children and parents,
From going through the heart ace that never ends.
Thank You

My book uses the City’s own hard paper to document every threat, every lie, every suppression, every example of tampering, everything in their words not mine, because, after all, who would believe me? As the judge in the recent landmark case, Humphries v. County of Los Angeles, wrote in his opinion declaring California’s Child Abuse Index unconstitutional under the 14th amendment, to be declared a child abuser in modern society is a type of moral leprosy. And didn’t that serve the firefighters’ union well, first that the City Attorney’s office of Louise Renne would force us to remain in San Francisco ensuring that we had no access to any other court but this, and secondly, should we ever make it back to Louisiana, our reputation was shredded.
Even now who would listen to me? My book has been out two weeks and the silence from the local and state media has been deafening. However, I am finding that the Internet is that great equalizer everyone has always thought it would be. But I already knew that would happen, thus the title of the book, Collected Letters from the Abyss.
Yours in Christ, Ramona Mayon
Next actions:
1st, a complaint to the California Bar Association re. Kamala Harris prosecuting us in spite of several C.P.S. reports that repeatedly stated that there were “no actual C.P.S. concerns or issues with this family”, as well a complaint to the Judicial Performance Panel (on which Judge Feinstein sits) to review the original foundation of lies that she oversaw in 1998-1999.
2nd, since no one has complied with the 9th federal district’s court directive to alter the procedure that surrounds attempting to remove one’s name from the Child Abuse Index, we will apply to the director of D.H.S. Trent Rhorer to re-examine the records, then direct Cal. DOJ to remove our listing.
3rd, when he refuses to do that, we will proceed to federal court in an attempt to force a change in due process. We understand that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear Humphries v. County of Los Angeles in the fall.
4th, we will ask the current attorney general, Jerry Brown, to independently review this miscarriage of justice and remove our name.
5th and finally, we will seek to form a coalition of all the groups on the Internet screaming about the corruption in Family Law courts, in order to draft a bill of rights for every child at risk from an uncontrollable, unaccountable Children Protective Services. At that time, we will return to Congress, who supplies them with the money but no oversight and demand change.

“The Department of Health & Human Services has failed to promulgate meaningful regulations to implement the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act. It has applied even the minimal federal regulations that were developed in an inconsistent and arbitrary manner, and only token implementation of the laws protecting children.’
Even when HHS finds overwhelming evidence of lack of compliance during 427 reviews, no sanctions are imposed and they continue to keep the fed $$$ pouring in – in violation of their own regulations. Not so much as a slap on the hand or even token admonishment. Certainly explains how CPS developed their arrogance and contempt for any authority – because there is none. Their confidence that they are free from the feds insisting on compliance with the law is well illustrated by the foster care numbers which increased dramatically after CAPTA began feeding federal dollars into the states child protection agencies, then dropped equally dramatically after the enactment of P.L.96-272, which was supposed to create more specific federal regulation and accountability. However, once the state agencies saw that the federal government was not enforcing compliance, the foster care numbers soared once again.
Michael Petit, Deputy Director of the Child Welfare League of America, stated in his testimony before Congress: “A 427 is a meaningless process for most of the states. It represents no kind of sanctions to the states whatsoever for non-compliance.” Marcia Robinson Lowry told Congress: “States are passing HHS audits with systems in which no reasonable person could consider that children are being well treated. It is virtually impossible to fail a 427 audit.”
The initial concept of “reasonable efforts” was the only conclusion that any rational person could come to: rather than disrupt children’s lives, and traumatize them by seizing them from non- abusive situations and placing them with strangers (who are often no better, and sometimes far worse), assist families in overcoming their obstacles and problems by providing support and services. The idea never worked, though, because it has always been more profitable to too many to remove children rather than keep them at home. Rather than offer support and simple, practical services to families CPS forged contracts with vendors. Now private businesses, under the guise of “service providers”, could mushroom into existence knowing that their sugar daddy, CPS, would provide a never-ending flow of coerced clients. The market potential is unlimited – potentially every mother, father, grandparent, and child in the country. Rather than offering practical, meaningful services that are germane to the families circumstances, CPS clients are ordered to engage in “services” with CPS-contracted vendors; special interest groups who are dependent on CPS for their income and profit by maintaining the levels of children in foster care, and whose interests are protected by a bureaucracy intent on securing it’s own survival and protecting unlimited growth.
The extent of which CPS is allowed to continue to operate while being so far out of compliance with the existing state and federal laws is mind boggling. It would be a challenge to find any other agency in our countries history that operated in such gross and blatant violation of the law with absolutely no intervention from the administration. Tens of millions of tax dollars are being squandered on a system that is destroying families and causing lifelong emotional ruin to children – and those are the lucky ones who live through it.
The most egregious area of outright criminal fraud is CPS’s practice of filing their federally required documentation of compliance in secrecy through the courts. The federal foster care reimbursements are channeled through the Title IV-E section of the Social Security Act. Each states child welfare agency enters into a contract with the federal government, which is referred to as their Title IV-E state plan. It is this contract that spells out the responsibilities that CPS must, by law, comply with in order to receive their federal funding. To document compliance with the fed regs CPS must file a form through the courts in each individual case. In Massachusetts these forms are referred to as a “29-C.” 42 U.S. Code, ss 672 reads:
“These requirements are not mere formalities. The Finance Committee of Congress, in preparing its summary for final passage of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980, P.L. 96-272, stated; ` The Committee is aware of allegations that the judicial determination requirement (sic: that a judge makes a determination that a child needs to be removed from the home) can become a mere pro forma exercise in paper shuffling to obtain federal funding. While this could occur in some instances, the Committee is unwilling to accept as a general proposition that the judiciaries of the States would so lightly treat a responsibility placed upon them by federal statute for the protection of children.”
1980 U.S. Code Cong. and Admin. News: “A judicial determination of those efforts (reasonable efforts, as defined in the Act) serves to closely examine, in the case of each individual child, whether reasonable efforts were made to keep the family intact.” In accordance with the federal requirements the Massachusetts legislature enacted G.L. c.119 ss 29b, which requires all judges to certify that the Department of Social Services met the obligation grounded in the federal statute of making reasonable efforts to protect the child short of removing him or her from the parents, and, if the child was removed, making it possible for the child to return home in a timely manner. Rather than “closely examining”, in Massachusetts this grave responsibility is carried out by judges by rubber stamping stacks of 29c forms that simply contain three “yes” or “no” check boxes. In many instances making three check marks is even too much work for Massachusetts judges and they rubber stamp the forms while leaving them blank – never mind actually verifying that the “reasonable efforts” were made. In return for these forms DSS receives it’s federal money.
The three questions are:
1. Continuation in the home is contrary to the well being of the child?
2. Reasonable efforts have been made prior to the placement of the child to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the child from his/her home?
3. Reasonable efforts have been made to make it possible for the child to return to his parent/guardian?
I discussed this issue a few years ago with Veronica Melendez at the Children’s Bureau (the federal authority). She told me that the federal government was under the impression that all parties were present in the court room at the time of the filing of the 29c’s, so that the parents attorneys had the opportunity to object, rebut, or verify the “reasonable efforts.” In reality, no one sees the federal forms except the judges and a representative of DSS’s main legal department. Attorneys ask us how we ever “got our hands on” the 29c forms, as we have never yet met an attorney who has seen the forms, let alone have been notified of the filing hearing. We even have forms on which the “no” boxes were checked, yet the children were still removed from their homes and federal funds collected for them.
By seizing children illegally in violation of the Title IV-E requirements, then filing false documents in secrecy through the courts to obtain federal funding, CPS is defrauding the federal government with intent. CPS should be subject to investigation and prosecution by the U.S. Attorneys Office. They should be held liable for the restitution of all illegally obtained funds, and prosecuted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and the fraudulent collection of federal funds under the False Statements and Accountability Act of 1996, P.L. 104-292 110 stat 3459, 42 U.S.C.S. 670-679a; P.L. 96-272; C.F.R. part 1356; and Title IV-E. I have discussed this issue with the Inspector Generals Office and they felt it could possible be prosecuted under RICO, yet they have also failed to act, possibly because it isn’t just CPS/DSS who is committing federal fraud, but also the judges who are signing the documents.
In 1988 George Miller, the original architect of P.L. 96-272, and Chairman of the congressionally appointed Select Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, recognized the fraud being committed in the name of child “protection”, and stated:
“What has been demonstrated here is that you have a system that is simply in contempt. This system has been sued and sued and orders have been issued and they just continue on their merry way. And HHS just continues to look the other way. You have a system that is not only out of control, it’s illegal at this point. What you are really engaged in is state sponsored child abuse.”
CPS WILL FIND A REASON IF THEY ARE CALLED TO YOUR HOME TO REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN. THIS IS A FACT. THIS FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL PEOPLE WAKE UP AND DEMAND ACTION FROM POLITICIANS, STARTING WITH LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED AND VICTIMIZED BY THIS CORRUPT SYSTEM NEED TO BOMBARD THEM WITH LETTERS ABOUT YOUR HORROR STORIES.
ALL THOSE WITH AUTHORITY ARE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUNDING THESE CRIMINALS. IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCEPTING THE CPS STATUS QUO. CPS GETS PAID HUGE PROFITS IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND INCENTIVES TO TAKE YOUR CHILDREN AND PLACE THEM IN OUT OF HOME FOSTER CARE. THEY DO NOT CARE HOW TRAUMATIZED A CHILD IS WHEN THEY ARE REMOVED AND PLACED WITH A STRANGER WHO DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THEM THE WAY THEIR PARENTS DID. CPS DOES NOT CARE IF THE CHILDREN FEEL SAFE. THIS TRAUMATIZING EVENT WILL NEVER GO AWAY. TRUST IN ADULTS IS COMPLETELY LOST. CPS IS 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE TO DO ANY KIND OF LEGITIMATE AND TRUE INVESTIGATION BEFORE REMOVAL.
THIS IS ALL PROMOTED FROM BY THE FUNDING AND BONUSES GIVEN FOR REMOVAL. EVERYTHING I HAVE STATED HERE IS FACT. FOLLOW THE MONEY. I HAVE. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU FIND ON HOW DEEP THE CORRUPTION GOES. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE MONEY FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS GONE ROUGE.
THE JUDGES ARE GIVEN KICK BACKS, NEVER MIND CONTRIBUTION MONEY ANYMORE. THE ATTORNEYS ALL WORK FOR THE SAME TEAM AND DECIDE YOUR CASE BEFORE YOU EVER GET TO COURT. IN CRIMINAL COURT THIS WOULD BE A CONFLICT AND ILLEGAL, ONE OF THE ATTORNEY’S WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY WORK FOR THE SAME OFFICE.
CPS COURT. ONE ATTORNEY CAN REPRESENT TWO SEPARATE PARTIES IF ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS IS ABSENT, THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATION BY ANY STANDARD.
NO ONE AND I MEAN, NO ONE LOOKS OUT FOR YOUR RIGHTS TO A FAIR TRIAL- EVER. IN FACT THEY ALL LAUGH AT THE WAY YOUR RIGHTS ARE OBLITERATED WHEN THEY GO OUT TO DINNER OR LUNCHES, (NOT LYING I KNOW THESE PEOPLE, AND HAVE WITNESSED THIS) I KNEW AN ATTORNEY WHO WORKED WITH THESE APPOINTED PAID LOSERS AND HE IS NOW SERVING 7 YEARS FOR HIS CRIMES.
THEIR AUTHORITY OVER YOU IS SO COMPLETE THAT IF YOU ATTEMPT TO FIGHT BACK THEY WILL SHOW YOU THEIR PREJUDICE. I HAVE SEEN CHILDREN FROM THE SAME HOME IN THE SAME CASE WHERE ONE RETURNED HOME AND THE OTHER WAS GIVEN UP FOR ADOPTION. NOW HOW IN THE HELL DOES THIS HAPPEN? IF YOU ARE NOT SAFE ENOUGH FOR ONE CHILD HOW CAN YOU BE SAFE ENOUGH FOR THE OTHER? THIS HAPPENS AND YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NO ATTORNEY WILL TAKE YOUR CASE TO SUE UNLESS YOU HAVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF WRONG DOING AND IN ALMOST ALL CASES THESE SLOPPY MISTAKES ARE NOT COVERED UP AND EASILY FOUND IT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CPS CASE FILE. (GO FOR THE APPEAL, GET THE CLERK’S TRANSCRIPT ON APPEAL. MAKE SURE ALL OF THE TRANSCRIPTS FROM THE DETENTION HEARINGS ARE INCLUDED). MOST ATTORNEYS DO NOT WANT TO “ROCK THE BOAT” AS THEY ARE ALL BAR MEMBERS. ATTORNEYS WHO HAVE TAKEN ON CPS DON’T WANT TO BECOME “SERIAL” CPS ADVERSARIES.
CPS AND THE COURT PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND THEY ARE STEALING CHILDREN WILLY NILLY AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. THE FRAUD BEGINS WITH COERCION AND STARTS WHEN CPS MAKES EVERYONE BELIEVE THEY HAVE TO SIGN THE CASE PLAN TO GET THEIR CHILDREN BACK AND/OR RISK PROSECUTION, THIS NOT TRUE.
IF YOU WERE FACING JAIL CPS COULD NOT STOP IT AND THEY WOULD NOT STOP IT, THEY WOULD SIMPLY WAIT TILL YOU WENT TO JAIL AND TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THEN. THIS IS THE WAY IT WORKS AND NO ONE ELSE WILL TELL YOU THIS.
CPS IS A CONTRACT COURT. YES, CIVIL COURT RULED BY CIVIL RULES. WHEN YOU SIGN THAT CASE PLAN YOU ARE GIVING THEM AUTHORITY OVER YOU AND ADMITTING TO THEIR ALLEGATIONS. THEY SAY IT CAN’T BE USED AGAINST YOU IN COURT BUT THEY DON’T TELL YOU THAT IT CAN’T BE USED AGAINST YOU IN ANY OTHER COURT HOWEVER, TRUTH BE TOLD, THEY CAN AND WILL STILL USE IT AGAINST YOU IF THEY RECEIVE ANOTHER REFERRAL AGAINST YOU. SO DON’T SIGN ANYTHING AND BY LAW IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY EVIDENCE, REAL EVIDENCE. THEY COME UP WITH GUILTY ON A PREPONERNCE OF EVIDENCE WHICH MEANS “MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT” OR AT MOST MORE THAN 50% LIKELY TO BE TRUE BASED ON ONE-SIDED EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY) THEY HAVE TO RETURN YOU CHILDREN WITH IN 72 HOURS IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY REAL EVIDENCE OR YOU CAN PRESS CHARGES FOR KIDNAPPING ON THE PERSON THAT TOOK YOUR CHILD AND I MEAN THE SOCIAL WORKER THIS IS A COLOR OF LAW CRIME, USING THERE AUTHORITY TO CAUSE DAMAGES.
WAKE UP PEOPLE, CPS CAN BE BEAT BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU FIRST. ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE PROFITING OFF OF YOUR HEART. YOUR PAIN WILL NEVER GO AWAY AND THEY DO NOT CARE.
I HAVE SEEN A CASE SO WELL PLANNED OUT THAT THE ADOPTIVE MOM THAT PICKED THE CHILD WAS IN THE COURT ROOM WHEN A PARENTS RIGHTS WERE TERMINATED. WHEN THE PARENTS WENT OUT CRYING THE ADOPTED MOTHER (I WON’T NAME COURTS BUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT SW COURTHOUSE IN TEMECULA , CALIFORNIA ON MAY 1, 2012 AND THE COUNSEL FOR A PARENT MAY HAVE BEEN DANIEL VINSON BUT THAT WOULD BE SAYING TOO MUCH SO I WILL KEEP THAT TO MYSELF). YOU HAVE TO, AND I CAN’T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, READ THE LAW ON CIVIL PROCEEDINGS AND THE LAWS ON FAMILY COURTS SO YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN.
ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: IF YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH CPS, OR IF YOU HAVE, WHAT IF ONE DAY CPS CAME KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR AND THE REASON BEING THAT A PERSON, A NEIGHBOR OR EX-WIFE CALLED CPS HOTLINE AND LIED AND SAID SHE SAW YOU DOING DRUGS RECENTLY, OR CLAIM THAT YOU HIT YOUR CHILD OR SAY THAT YOU DON’T CLEAN YOUR HOUSE OR THAT YOUR KID’S CLOTHES ARE ALWAYS DIRTY OR THAT YOU DON’T HAVE ANY FOOD TO FEED YOUR KIDS BECAUSE YOU ASKED TO BORROW A CUP OF SUGAR, OR ANY OF 10,000 REASONS CPS CAN SAY IS “NEGLECT”. CPS WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD THERE BECAUSE, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO AND THEY GET PAID TO REMOVE THEM. WHAT WILL YOU DO? IS YOUR CHILD WORTH IT TO LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ABOUT THE LAW IN CPS (CIVIL COURTS CONTRACT LAW)?
IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD THE WAY I DO, THAN THE REASON IS OVERWHELMINGLY YES. DON”T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID AND LEARN THE LAW AFTER YOU LOSE YOU CHILD. I PRAY SO HARD EVERYDAY THAT CHILDREN WILL STOP BEING HURT LIKE THIS AND FAMILIES WILL STOP BEING ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED. THE DAY THE JUDGE REMOVES YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS AND YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART YOU WERE “IN THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR CHILD”, YOUR HEART FALLS TO THE FLOOR AND LOOKS UP AT GOD AND SAYS, “BUT I BELIEVED IN YOU.” THIS IS THE DAY YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ON AND ALL THE EFFORT OF MAKING SURE EVERYTHING YOU DID TO PROTECT YOUR CHILD IS NO LONGER OF ANY KIND OF VALUE. BECAUSE CPS TARGETED YOU FOR A SOURCE OF REVENUE. NOW YOU ARE ON A LIST FOR ABUSIVE PARENTS AND ALL YOU DID WAS LOVE YOUR CHILD.
FACT: CPS DOES PLANT, FORGER, FRAUD, CUT AND PAST FROM OTHER CASES, USE OTHER PEOPLES CRIMINAL RECORDS IN PLACE OF YOUR OWN RECORD, FAKE DRUG TESTS, USE FALSE STATEMENTS, USE FALSE AND PLANTED WITNESSES. I PERSONALLY HAVE REAL CONCRETE EVIDENCE TO PROVE THIS AND WILL SHOW IT TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO ASKS. PLEASE ASK. YOU CAN SEE MUCH OF IT ON MY WEB SITE (WWW.DONNELLYJUSTICE.ME)
CPS KNOWS ONCE THEY HAVE TAKEN YOUR CHILD AND YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUR CHILD, PARENTS ARE LEFT IN SUCH DEVASTATION BY THERE LOSS, THAT THERE ISN’T ENOUGH ENERGY, MONEY, OR SUPPORT TO FILE OR AN APPEAL. I READ A STATEMENT BY A FAMILY COURT JUDGE THAT THE REMOVAL OF PARENTAL RIGHTS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THE FAMILY AND SHOULD DONE AS THE LAST RESORT, BUT IT HAS BECOME THE NORM AND IS SUCH A DISREGARD FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF GROWING UP MOST OF US SHARE. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND MUST BE STOPPED IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE AS A COUNTRY. A GOOD QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF, WHO WANTS TO FIGHT FOR A COUNTRY THAT SUPPORTS THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR FAMILY?
I WILL BACK UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING SAID HEREIN, PLEASE GO DO THE RIGHT THING. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN. EVERYTHING I HAVE WRITTEN HERE IS ON RECORD AND CAN BE VERY EASILY PROVED. FAMILIES ARE NOT PROTECTED AND USED AS A SOURCE OF INCOME, ISN’T THAT RIGHT ATTORNEY DANIEL VINSON? AND SOCIAL WORKER ANTOINE COLEY FROM MORENO VALLEY CPS OFFICE AND SUPERVISOR AMANDA SPRATLY, WITH DIRECTOR SUSAN LEOW’S UNMISTAKABLE OVERSIGHT USING MY FAMILY FOR OVERBILLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT , AS PROVEN BY YOUR OWN RECORDS. FOR BILLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A CASE OPEN. GO AHEAD CHALLENGE ME, I AM TRYING TO GET THIS INTO COURT ANYWAY.

Butte County, CA- On Friday March 9th, The NORML Women’s Alliance (NWA), along with Butte County residents, put forward a complaint to the Grand Jury of Butte requesting an investigation into the County Children Services Division for the agency’s perceived and widespread misconduct
The findings in the people’s request include numerous testimonials from directly affected persons, submitted herein via the GRAND JURY COMPLAINT FORMS, which relate varied claims of CSD misconduct.
The National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, in their report dated September 6, 2011, confirms Butte County leads all of California’s large counties in the percentage rate of permanent removal of children from parents. Previously, the Grand Jury undertook a limited “narrow” investigation of the Children Services Division which did not sufficiently address all aspects of CSD conduct, nor addressed the narrow criteria of “front end” issues in a thorough, transparent manner conducive to meaningful, unbiased investigation and findings.
The NORML Women’s Alliance of Butte County, and NORML attorneys have put forth recommendations that they believe are in the best interest of Butte County c
