To make a long story short, CPS took custody of my kids and kept them in foster care for 7 weeks, even though my parents were willing to care for them. CPS did not want to place my kids with my parents due to the fact that they did not agree with CPS that abuse had occured. After calling everyone high up in the CPS agency, my kids were finally placed with my parents. It has been 5 months and I still only get to see them once a week for 2 hours (supervised). Thank God I get to talk to them on the phone every day. My next court date is in September and that will be mainly to fight my drug-abuser ex-husband for custody(I have sole custody but he wants to have that changed). The sad thing about this is that CPS is on his side and they are pushing for him to have my kids. They would rather place them with a drug-abuser than with a loving mother. They've known my ex for less than 6 months, whereas I have known him for 10 years. CPS thinks that since he is going to parenting classes, drug classes, etc. it makes him a good parent. This man has absolutely no idea what it takes to be a parent! I recently had a meeting with CPS and my lawyer and was told that since I have a "personality conflict" with my parent aide, I will not be getting my kids back in September. I am doing everything else they want me to do - parenting classes, anger management, etc. Don't they realize that I would not be angry if I had my kids? I don't understand how CPS can have so much control and are allowed to destroy families. I know there are kids that are really being abused and CPS is not there to help them, instead they are torturing my family and emotionally "abusing" my kids. I am being treated so unfairly and am an emotional wreck. Everyone, including my children, have told CPS and the Judge that there has never been any form of abuse inflicted on my children, but CPS says my kids have been brainwashed and that they are lying to everyone. How can they make judgements on me and my children when they don't even know us? They should be listening to the facts presented to them by myself and my family and friends instead of living in their fantasy world where they believe that in one way or another all parents are child abusers. I am totally lost without my kids. I get tired of hearing that people understand how I feel. Unless this has happened to you, you don't know what it is like. I can't even begin to explain the sick empty feeling I carry with me on a continuous basis. My kids are everything to me and as a mother I protect them with my life. It breaks my heart when my son asks me how many more days until they can come home to live. My kids don't understand why all of this is happening when no one has ever hurt them. They will be emotionally scared for life thanks to CPS. I have contacted the Governor of AZ, the newspaper, TV stations, Congressmen, etc. - nobody wants to do anything about it. The government agencies are backing CPS - probably because they know that CPS has been sued so many times for false accusations, they don't want it happening again. My insurance company was giving me a hard time about paying my son's $54,000 hospital bill because, per CPS, the hospital turned it in as child abuse. I would not wish this to happen to my worst enemy. As I have found out, it can happen to anyone. If I knew then half of what I know now, CPS would have gotten to my kids over my dead body. Unless you know what they can and cannot do, CPS has a parent in the palm of their hand and plays them like their puppets. I want to fight to have the laws changed so that CPS doesn't have the power they have now. If in any way, I can receive assistance or suggestions from anyone, please e-mail me at blondemom@mailcity.com. |
