On 8/22/08 I became ill during the night and almost died. My 6 yr old son noticed the problem and went next door to get a neighbor and call 911. I was taken to the hospital where I lay on a ventilator, nearly comatose for two days. That night, CPS took my children, who were already scared and worried, and placed them with a foster home. They never tried to contact my husband. It was not until my husband got to the hospital that he was informed about what was going on with the kids. A few days later, we were able to have the kids placed with a family friend. While I was in the hospital they held a meeting with my husband asking him to keep our kids in 'voluntary care' so that he could attend to me and aid in my recovery. He agreed based on what he was told by the caseworker that they would return our kids after my recovery. The caseworked came and saw me in the hospital for 20 minutes to sign some papers and told me he would call me later, because he had to leave for another appointment. I was discharged over Labor Day weekend. Neither my husband or I heard back from him for five days. When we did get some news, it was in the form of papers telling us that they were now taking us to court and the kids were now in temporary custody. We called the lady our kids were with and found out from her that our visitation had been revoked. Today we finally had a meeting with the caseworked and his supervisor and were told that this was happening because they felt I tried to kill myself, a history of domestic violence, and neglect. They are bringing up things from several years ago in order to keep our children. We also found out that they switched our son's school without notifying us or the actual school. We are a military familly. My husband had been on orders, and was deployed for three months. He was able to come home on emergency leave. Now, he can't see his kids that he had been missing for all that time. And in turn, they can't see thier daddy that had been gone for awhile. Our 3 yr old daughter was fully potty trained and has now reverted beck to diapers due to the stress. They cry for us to take them home. This situation is causing stress on our marriage and my health, and we are worried about how this is going to affect our kids. CPS has ripped our family apart and doesn't seem to care about the actual people involved or our feelings and emotions. Bianca Vail, AZ

As said best by late Senator Nancy Schaefer

"CPS ARE THE MOST EVIL AND CORRUPT BRANCH OF AMERICAN GOVERMENT"

here is a perfect example of it being true. For past 5 years these low life scumbags have been lying not only to the court but to my two little children and favoring their mentally ill mother who has been diagnosed by forensic psychologist Dr Lober wit multiple mental disorders including bi-polar disorder.

These lying parasites at CPS Elane Dickerson, Kevin Carpenter, Ed Heepe,

had lied to my children telling them they do not have to call their father every day, who the hell these under paid scum think they are but as soon as Melissa Leonard and her demanted Dolores Porco Leonard had paid Elane Dickerson to favor the mother as I have been told thats only the one caseworker they all are on the payroll being bribed by Dolores Porco Leonard whos worth millions she stole and hid from her own family. Who do these scum think they are telling two little children don't call your father every day, when there is a "SUPREME COURT ORDER" issued by Westchester Supreme jdg that intitles to at least two phone calls with both of my children, which their mentally ill mother Melissa Leonard has been violation for 2 years, phone records do not lie, but people like her who are doing everything to destroy the childrens relationship is a compulsive lier. Lying to every one she can that my children are afraid of me telling the court I use photo shop to make the children smile in our photos... now how can any normal person beleave that!!!

This lying scum Elane Dickerson and Kavin Carpenter who are clearlly showing favoritisim for the mentally ill mother refuse to return my calls regarding my visitations with my children which they have been doing delibaratly to keep me from seeing my children. The mother has used them to help her and now she took of out of state with out leting lawyers know telling my children to lie to me as to where they are as she did before. Taking our children to her own abuser molester bigget anti-samite Fransic Leonard aka (Archy Bunker) in De Pere Wisconsin who molester Melissa and Lohn Leonard when they were young as it has been told by other people and even by John J Leonard himself. This crooked lawyer John J Leonard who worked for Marc Dreier the corrupt lawyer who stole tens of millions from his clieants with help oj John J Leonard who was his right hand men, but he bailed to Cali when Dreier got caught taking god knows how many millions with him, that whole family Porco Leonard are crooks just google Porco they kill their own family for money, like one Chris Porco who chooped up his parents so he can gain family millions of dollars.

It's beyond me how can these parasites at cps can ignore Supreme Court orders and refuse to let me see my children and tell two little children lies about their father.

Where does a little child get the idea to say to his father and his grandperants "we don't have to see you jews anymore" and bringing this up to the anti-samite judge Tolbert who failed to enforse his orders leting the defendant get away with keeping my children from me and their grandperants for 5 years on every single Jewish Holiday!!!

Same goes for the law guardian John Belmonte this past April I was to see my children for Passover Holiday which the mother failed to let me take my children, leaving message for this prick law guardian was a waist he never returned my call even after sending him the Supreme Court Order which clearly states I was to see my children for our Jewish Holiday,

another bigget anti-samite the only thing he needs to wear to court is his white sheet and the cone hat from his clan. What normal law guardian will not let the little children be with their father despite of knowing the mother had used the children to lie about neglect. As well as this crooked state trooper Mario Velez who the mother screwed to help her has this crook brake in to my office at my home threated my son who was 7 yrs old to lie for his mother. This corrupt trooper Velez has been in the news for past 6+yrs himself for over stepping his power and badge and abusing beating threatnig students at Hen Hud school where he worked as a resorce officer... these two worthless scums left so much evidance that tropper Velez broke in to my office and even was seen making out with my childrens mother while they were in the house.

I guess the dead presidants from Dolores Porco Leonard showed them the way!! Just like the judge who overruled him self and is the only judge in westchester who has the most complaints against him and who has been or is sued by at least 12 banks for default on payments... real nice a judge!!!

We have had nothing but bad experiences with CPS. Our niece was being severely emotionally, physically, and sexually abused by her father, who is a meth addict. We tried calling cps over and over again, but since she was a teenager they told us that unless there were very obvious burns/bruises on her, that they couldn't do anything. Finally we called the police who were prompt and efficient. They assigned someone to the case, the officer went and investigated, and she was pulled out of the home and put back in the care of CPS... which is when it started going downhill again. We and her other aunt/uncle who live nearby have jumped through every hoop they have asked us for (background checks, house inspections, etc) and have showed up for every court date to support her, even though the parent's protest and we aren't allowed in. The parents confessed to much of the child abuse and are not cooperating (not going to therapy, not paying child support or court fees, nor are they apologetic or trying to change), but it is still court ordered that she have to go to a supervised visit with them once a week and speak to her father, who molested her and her mother, who let it happen. However, because we were the ones that called CPS/police and reported the abuse, we are the ones being punished and we are not able to see her because we are on her side and might try to "influence" her. We have accepted this and have followed this rule, ridiculous as it may be. Also, three months ago the judge approved her for a court appointed advocate to speak for her in court, but her social worker (who never answers his phone and never returns calls- EVER) hasn't done the paperwork to get her one. Meanwhile, this girl is breaking down under the stress- has no idea what is going to happen to her, where she is going to live, doesn't feel safe and doesn't have her LOVING relatives around to give her support and guidance.
But six months have gone by, and there are two loving homes that she could be in that are with her FAMILY and have been APPROVED, but instead she is in a foster home with 5 other foster kids who are all under the age of 8. Complaints about these foster parents have gone completely unheard by anyone. They leave her alone all the time, they make her babysit the other foster kids, they put her in the middle of their domestic disputes and fight in front of her, they let her date guys though she is way too young, and NOW THE FOSTER DAD STARTED SEXUALLY ABUSING HER!!! This wouldn't have happened if she was with her family, where she should be. Of course, to get something actually done, we called the police, who arrived promptly and took the foster dad to jail. Where was CPS? Social worker has changed his number w/o informing the foster child he is supposed to be looking out for. His supervisor doesn't seem to care and just makes excuses for the social worker. Through this whole process no one will tell us whats going to happen, no one will tell us what is going on, or what to do to help. No one will call you back, no one will give you a straight answer.
F**** you CPS. It seems like either you take children away from good parents for the tiniest reasons, or you ignore huge and obvious signs of abuse for years and then allow the child to keep hurting once they are out of the home, and give terrible selfish "parents" the chance to get their child back, leaving the kids terrified. Way to go.

I called CPS about my 12 yr old autistic son being abused and neglected on the bus. first at age 3yr and again at 12yr. I was told to call CPS by a lawyer. This is CPS's reply.."We do not take complaints that have anything connected to schools, that includes bus transportation drivers and matrons. it is AGAINST THE LAW for us to take these kind of complaints.they gave me a number that no one answers. not even a recording.i keep getting thrown around like a dirty old pillow. everyone passing the responsibility to someone else. Attorney's ask me for a retaining fee..$10, 000 and i say i don't have that kind of money and never hear from them again. i wrote obama, senator john flanagan, channel 12 news..etc. no body responding. feels worse than a communist country. any lawyer out there with a learning disabled child want to help? Your child will be next. i guarantee something has already happened to your child.

This is probably the most CORRUPT GROUP in operation. Anyone having promblems or concerns with these RACKETEERS should read this website in entirety: AMERICAN FAMILY RIGHTS ASSOCIATION. Then after you get a little education into their modus operandi be sure to write to your congressmen; senators; senate ways & means committe & your governor and send them a PINK SLIP ASKING FOR REFORM OF CPS OR TO SHUT THESE FRAUDS DOWN!! a) conspiracy against rights 2) fraud waste & abuse 3) stalking INTERSTATE 4) Falsification of documents & records are just a few of the complaints we have made concerning these corrupt & incompetent workers; therapists & so called INVESTIGATORS!!! They should all be prosecuted under the RICO ACT!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
