I've been a monitor of CPS in Virginia for fifteen years. They are nothing more than liars. I've managed to fight them and win in the past, however I've watched them cower frightened domestic violence victims to stay in their abusive relationships, or they would take the kids. I'm happy to know that there are like-minded people out there who might be able to help and get the word out.

I am lost without my kids and was told to get over it, that it wasn't the end of the world, by the CPS worker that took my kids. My son, 8, has bipolar and beats me, has burned me, and so on. I asked for help and made the mistake of saying "I'm scared I'm goin to hurt him". They took him and my four-year-old and put a protection order — I can't see them at all — and placed my son with his dad and his brother who raped a girl in front of him. But I'm a danger, yeah. What a system, huh?

My children was taken from me on March 27, 2003 and as of today november 19, 2006 I'm still fighting. My case is now in the Virginia court of appeals and the boys are still in two different foster homes. I'm willing to help anyone going through their nightmare because I have earned my limited knowledge of the CPS nightmare.

Prosecution of the false accusers as offenders — as long as the substantiation of the lie can be demonstrated. The inability to prosecute CPS under the governmental "guise" is an agency with nothing to lose in destroying families. Even a Doctor has malpractice

We need help finding a public relations firm in Northern Virginia who can help us launch a media campaign to expose the unfair way that Arlington County Child and Family Services have treated us by taking our infant daughter from us based on false charges that I, the mother, have Aspergers Syndrome, and am unfit to care for a child. Our lawyers have finally given a tentative go ahead for us to have public relations help, in publicizing this case, and hopefully attracting legal and logistical help, maybe to bring political pressure to bear and to maybe appeal for a legal defense fund, donations to help us out from the public at large. If you know of any such organization, and they are sympathetic to, and willing to take on cases of government abuse of families, please put them in touch with us. Thanks.

We need to make CPS workers prove they are doing their job. They come and go in their own vehicle. Their supervisor are unaware they are not making housecalls but are preparing reports as if they are. They make up the stories as they go. I know from experience.

I just wanted to add myself to this because I felt that it is a way for people to speak out on the system and especially what is going on here. I think that the system in Virginia needs to be rectified and I do not know if things are ever going to change. They took my kids on a supposed housekeeping issue. They said that my house was not clean enough to their standards. Then when they finally did take my kids into the system that is when they tried to make up stories and say that other things happened when they did not. Or used other reasons to keep my kids. I do not know what is wrong with our systems today. They are supposed to protect innocent minors and adults that are good citizens and instead the good ones are the ones that are having the difficulties. My kids are with foster parents that I do not believe beat them but I do not honestly think that they are in the best of places. And that is not saying much for them. My oldest boy wants to come home and I can not fathom why they will not let them considering I have done what they have asked of me only to be given more. My kids were removed in Sept. 02' and in April 04' they did an involuntary TPR and I am not understanding how they can legally do that especially when I am not a danger to these kids. My main question now is if someone knows of any help they can provide. And also if there is a difference between foster parents and adoptive parents.? My kids were placed with foster parents (as they say) and then they are the ones adopting them. So aren't there foster parents and then adoptive parents? Don't they place them in one home and take them out of that one and put them in another.? I am not quite understanding how this works!! IF ANYONE HAS INFO THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME and I will get back with you ASAP!!

It's easy to understand- It's not about a dirty house or anything else. It's only about kidnapping the kids in order to harvest the federal funding streams.

Hi there I read about your organization on the web and am interested in joining. I do ask that you do not make public my street address. I have been dealing with cps for almost 1 year. They have removed my children the day before Thanksgiving. This has started out as a divorce accusation and they have been trying for the last year to find any way to take our kids. I don't know what I can do or what all of my rights are and in need of help trying to fight these people.

I am joining due to the corruption that surrounds the CPS in Prince Edward and Lunenburg County Virginia. I have a 5 year old great niece who has told of sexual abuse and they have did nothing. Lots more to the story. Her mother is disabled and on SSI due to low income and father not paying his child support. Please view my site for Marie at www.angelfire.com/ultra/acm563/marie.html for the rest of the story. Any of my information can be published, CPS knows me and knows that I will always fight to see that justice is served. I am not the only one in this area that is struggling with the corruptness of their system.

We really need help here. I am trying to do something here, but I am only one person. Everyone I know is involved with CPS and can't talk now. Understandable so, but when they locked my daughter up and took my granddaughters I vowed they might do that, but they would never shut me up. And I have been like a broken record since. I write everyone, as often as I can. I am my daughter's Power of Attorney so I get all the information I want, from who I want and the lawyers, social services, doctors and Casa worker have to live with it. I love to be a nuisance. I have to say it becomes me. If I could gather up people in the same position as I am, we would declare war here. I have came a long way since my daughter was incarcerated. It only goes to show what strength you have. I remember the first week, I was on the couch, almost in an irreversible coma. I could not figure out how I would make it without her and the babies. Then I guess fight or flight kicked in (or maybe both of them) and I knew I had to fight to keep the babies and help free my daughter. Thanks for listening, and letting me join. Glad to be aboard. I am a proud member.

I really need concrete help fighting these bastards. Is there such thing as a lawyer that will actually do her job in Virginia? ...not worry about her social standing; or upsetting the applecart? I've been falsely accused because I told a CPS supervisor to go back into her office and shuffle some more papers. Now my kids all have protective orders against me. I've been convicted of abuse w/o ever having the chance to defend myself. I'm now facing 12 months in prison for 'not cooperating with CASA'. (I told her supervisor she was not to enter my home again without first knocking, and that she was to identify herself as a CASA worker, not as my kids "grandma", as she had done to my babysitter). LAWYER REFERRAL NEEDED PLEASE!!!

I recently divorced and due to my ex taking our children and preventing me from seeing them for a year, he was awarded custody to keep the children in their "routine". It is currently being appealed, but in the meantime, I feel the non-custodial parental rights in Virginia need to be re-evaluated. My ex refuses to give me information on where my children are in daycare in order for me to ensure they are in a safe environment and progressing in their developmental learning. There is also a need for a specific and liberal visitation guideline for the non-custodial parent that the courts are required to use instead of each judge selecting the visitation guideline. As it stands, I will never again be able to enjoy waking up Christmas morning with my children's excitement to open their gifts. I will always have to pick them up Christmas afternoon.

Ah the wonders of No-Fault divorce. It has always been about who gets custody of the money. The kids are just the pawns.

My brother was convicted on a child sexual abuse charge. He was convicted in a small town and had an attorney that knew nothing, did nothing, and so many mistakes were made and stories changed that it was like a night mare. No one seems to be able to help unless you have a lot of money. Everyone we talk to or have shown the transcripts to, just laugh and say they have seen it all before.

I learned of this site through Tammy Goodson. I believe the majority of this world is corrupt. I started out researching law simply for the fact they count on the ignorance of people. I have really learned a lot due to having access to the law books. I really didn't know anything about computers until researching some codes and ran across a lot of other things I was ignorant about. I live in a small town and the law will do whatever they have to get people. It seems that they have more time to focus on a certain group of people. I am looking forward to learning more so maybe I can help others that are in need, because as I said "Ignorance makes things easier for them to manipulate to get what they need". I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I am in Virginia. My husband I went to court, only then were the kids not allowed to return home. My husband and I thought it would be a good idea to send them to stay with grandparents, until we got things back on track with the marriage or I figured out a place to go, before summer ended and school started. Before, we sent them NEVER was any temporary or permanent custody was talked about, not even by the Social Worker. She told the grandparents that she had NOTHING to remove the kids. If the worker had mentioned anything about any kind of custody, I would not have let them STAY with their grandparents. My son's grandparents were then told that if they allowed my son to return home, he would go to fostercare. She then proceeded to say they HAD to file a petition for custody, they did under the threat, by the social worker, that if they didn't, my son would go to foster care immediately. This worker, has insulted both us, defamed and slandered us numerous times, and has misrepresented herself in many ways, in order to try to build a case against us.
